humorously.

BURSTING SHELLS
 CONTINUE MENACE

LOAN, France.-Residents of the devastated districts of France are still fleeing from bursts of shell and shrapnel. The new menace is caused by small grass and swamp fires which frequently set off the shells that have been piled up to be hauled away and exploded in some safe place. ...-...
 Major H. C. Greene, of Boston, Mass. had a thrilling ride and mar rowly escaped hail of shrapnel on his way from St. Quentin to Laon, as a result of one of these fires. 4 French woman working in field near Bouconville was gassed and considerable damage has been done.
 In the vast, desolate fields, thou sands of unexploded shells have been plcked up by German prisoners, and though there are details hauling them away and exploding them in remote valleys every day. there are still long ranks of them every where. Sparks from locomotives and from small fires where battle field rubbish is being burned, occa- sionally set fire to patches of dry weeds and the accidental bursts are numerous. Roads passing places where shells are being set off are guarded, but it is from the acci- dental blasts that the danger comes.

WET ENGLAND E GROWING WETTtR
 AS YANKEES FRY

LONDON.-In America, it is re. ported here, many erstwhile manu. facturers of alcoholic beverages are now devoting themselves to the pro. duction of soft drinks and mineral waters. In this country, as the re- suit of what one paper calls the bloom in booze" several manufac- turers of non-intoxicating beverages are turning their attention to the production of drinks that possess what is popularly called a decided "kick."
 Evidence of that was conspicu- ously apparent at the Brewers Ex- hibition which opened recently. One of its features was the display of wines, liquers, and cordials by 6 firm whose name heretofore has been household word in the min eral-water trade.
 During the war;" said one of the directors of the company, i've sup piled 15,OOO,OOO bottles of soda wa ter to the army. Now that that trade has gone, we are going in strong for liquors, tawny ports, tonic wines and other drinks that are not lacking in what some of our American customers call a punch
 People who have hitherto re- garded ginger wine as a harmless, non-alcoholic beverage which warns the heart and leaves no bad head the next morning will have to be careful how they indulge in it in future in this country. It has be- come distinctly elevating in charac- ter in the hands of this firm.
 Perhaps that is the reason why we have already sold 54,000 dozen bottles of it this year." said the director.

YANKEE PLANES PIONEERING WAY
 FOR AERO MAIL

NEW YORK.-Air routes between New York and Boston and as far south as the Carolinas are being charted by the Atlantic coast patrol of the United States army air serv- ice, according to Colonel Archie Miller, commanding the Mitchell and Hazelhurst fields on Long Island. The army flyers, in six DeHavi- land and four bombing machines, with four DeHavilands and four bombers in reserve, are to continue all winter cross country work, gen. eral map making, course charting, and reporting ships in distress at sea. The latter feature will be ac- complished by means of wireless equipment installed in the patrol planes. The radio also will be used in case the flyers need to summon assistance.
 Colonel Miller said the flyers were giving an excellent demonstration of how an army airplane and pilot may be utilized to advantage in time of peace. An observer accompanies each DeHaviland plane. Each ma chine, he said, has an increased gas carrying capacity.
 The First aero squadron was or ganized and trained at Kelly field, Texas, shortly after the outbreak of the war, and was later sent over seas, where it saw much active service. Army flyers have long been doing Mexican border patrol work, but it is the first time. the colonel said, that they have been employed in similar active service elsewhere.
 Extension of the service to in- clude mapping of aerial routes on the Atlantic seaboard, and later the Middle Atlantic states, is said to be in contemplation. At present, while one-third of the First aero squadron personnel is out on patrol work the other two-thirds are resting. Al! flights are nonstop between the home field and the destination, thus putting the pilots under a system as rigorous in point of training as they experienced during the war. Aviation experts have attributed the efficiency of American pilots in France to the fact that they were compelled to fly at regular inter- vals and, consequently, did not have time to forget their training.

November 14th has been set aside
as Red Cross Sunday. and on that
day in all the churches in the United
States the ministers will talk on
Christian Service as demonstrated
by he Red Cross workers in the

In an address delivered recently in
Atlanta, DR.. NJ Ashby Jones, minis
ter and orator of rare appeal, drew
very happy parallel when he d.
rected the attention of his hearers to
the fact that America stood for the
Cross. had always been its servant
and is follower. that as the red blood
of Christ shed upon Calvary symbol
lied the Cross as the worlds sheet
anchor Of hope for ultimate saliva

symbolic the physical hope, comfort
and relief of humanity. This is not
the phrasing of DR.. Jones. but it
fairly conveys his meaning.

A SAFE TEST

For those who are in need of a
remedy for kidney troubles and
backache, it is a good plan to try
Doan's Kidney Pills. They are
strongly recommended by Cookeville
people.

St., Cookeville, says: II suffered from
kidney trouble. My back ached so I
thought it would break and couldn't
get any rest day or night, and was
hardly able to be on my feet Black
specks appeared before my eyes and
I had nervous, dizzy spells. My limbs
and knee joints were swollen and the
action of my kidneys was irregular.
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured from
