The Debt
by RANDALL PARRISH.

a young fellow came back to our
Town the other day, struggling along
on crutches he had left one leg in
France. A friend met him, and said
sympathetically: "rm mighty sorry,
Fred. you lost your leg" The lad
looked ut him and smiled. II didn't
lose my leg. Charlie" he replied quiet
~ II gave it,
That is Just what they have been
doing, those. splendid lods Of ours.
They have been giving their legs, thdh
arms, their eyes, their very lives, that
we might have our homes, our shops,
our farms; that we might live In
peace. In prosperity, in freedom of
thought and action.
Don't we owe them anything?
Haven't we debt unpaid to the dead
in France, to the manned and crippled,
who are coming home from the battle
front?
That is the appeal of the forthcom-
ing Victory Liberty loan. 1t is a debt
we owe--to the aviator who went
crushing down In flames :; to the dough-
hoy, who went cheering over the top
through rain of shrapnel; to the gun
ner, who fell with the lanyard In his
hand.
We can never pay it-no! Money
does not work that miracle. Just down
the street from here flag hangs in
the window of little cottage contain
ing two golden stars. What is my
money, or yours, balanced against the
priceless gift of the heart-broken ia
Their and mother there? If every man
in this town should throw his dollars
into the scale. those lives would weigh
the most.
Cheer and welcome those who re.
turn; honor their manhood. and thus
pay to them, in a small measure. the
debt you owe their service.
But do not forget those others, who
Will not returH--the voiceless dead.
You owe Il greater debt to them. They
died with faith in you.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, foT in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilrler's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

HOP, SKIP AND JUMP HOBBLE
Manners Reflected in Style of Clothes
Recall Egyptian and Japanese
Way of Dressing.

The styles of our clothes have been
responsible for some very interesting
ways of walking. In fact, styles of
walking are easily to be traced to the
sort of skirts we wear. Or is it the
other way around? Do we submit to
extreme in skirts according as we are
willing to give up the privilege of TAX
ing comfortable, normal steps?
This is not the first time we have
hobbled. But the hobble of 1919 is
just little different from the hobble
of 1913. For one thing, writes fash
ion correspondent, we are not so do
Gle about it. We cannot accustOm
ourselves TO it, for we have gone un-
checked and unhaltered for so many
seasons.
So this seasons hobble is character
lied by something that resembles
hop, skip and jump. We make a val
liant effort as if we hoped tiny minute
to De able to step forward unchecked,
and finally abandon our efforts TO
progress entirely. Then we either
give up walking entirely or abandon
our tight skirt in favor of one that is
wider though not so fashionable.
At the resorts, where women have
in other seasons promenaded to show
their own and 20 see other women's
new apparel, and where only those
who were too weary or too weak to
walk resorted to the wheel chairs, it
has been noticed that there were de-
cidedly fewer promenaders among the
women and an unusually large de-
mand for the wheel chairs. The an
swer is not far TO seek. No matter
how willing, nay, eager, you may be
to walk, if your ankles are shackled,
you can't do it. Hence you must either
stand or consent to be wheeled.
But there is nothing new at all about
the hObble step. In fact, the skirt
so tight as to force women to
take mincing steps seems to have been
admired since the dawn of history.
Surely, the Egyptian women must
have hobbled as much as the young
woman of 1919, and the Japanese girl
in rer narrow hemmed kimono GER
tainly never knew the freedom that
comes with the skirt that is wide and
short.

WORTHY TO ADoRN THRONE
bered for Remarkable Beauty and
High intellect.

Nur Jahan, Light of the World, In
becoming empress had free scope to
establish her real and remarkable in
dlviduality as e great statesman, a.
brave warrior, noble ruler and
most charming poetess. Her COM
bined attractions of person and high i'm
tellect have left many vivid records.
Her creative faculties produced new
developments in beautiful flowing cos
tunes, of delicate designs and artistic
workmanship, and in the setting of
jewels, the invention of perfumes and
many other luxuries of living.
Muir Jahan's name was associated on
the coin with that of Emperor ia
hangir, in mis- graceful couplet: "By
order of the Emperor Jahangir, the
value of this coin is increased huR-
dredf0ld by the name of the Empress
Jahan."
There are many instances of her
clever and witty literary repartee, an
exchange remarks. One day Nur ia
han and Jahangir saw a child playing
with a ball of flowers. The emperor
tried in vain to catch the child's atten-
ton, and remarked to Muir Jahan:
"The youthful sweetheart does not
turn toward u.s." To which she aptly
replied: "While the flower is still
bud it does not shed its perfume"
On another occasion Jahangir, see
ing an old man with a bent back, re-
ma ked: "Why do the wOrld-experi-
enced old men walk with bent backs?"
Nur Jahan answered: 'They are
searching under the dust for their lost
youth"

Relics Given Cathedral.

merIy in use in the pulpit have been

family in whose possession they
were for many years. The dead bell

use. The beadle rang the bell

HATS FOR SHORT AND TALL
Headgear Most Becoming to Woman
Below Average Height Compared
With Others.

Rather large hats are leaders in
summer millinery. and sentiment is
about equally divided between the
pokeshaped affair with narrow back
and the hat with wide brim of even
width all around.
A study of types will usually prove
to the woman below the average height
that if she wants broad-brimmed hat
the one that flares over the face only
and is cut narrower at the hack is the
most becoming. A hat that has wide
brim all the way around is the best Sc
lection for the tall beauty. The small
hat may be worn by the woman of
practically any height. The brimless
hat, however, is more trying to the
average face than one with a brim to
shade the face and soften any lines.
