Our popular young lawyer, Rich

today with Miss Bonnie. Congratu-
lations, Dick, say we."
A great light dawned upon Dicks
face. He sprang to the telephone
and hastily gave a number. After
a moment a soft little voice cane
over the wide: Hello" Hello.

Click went the receiver, and Dick
hung his up laughing.
Now, come on. Miss Bonnie" ae
said, hastily donning his coat and
hat. You will have to make a call
in your old collar, but never mind"
Miss Bonnie wnined eagerly at
the prospect of a walk, and follow
ed her master sedately down the
steps and up the street. 1t was
after 10, and few pedestrians were
abroad in the quiet little town.
Most of the houses were dark. but

BAT the time because it did not seem possible
that congress would go to such lengths i'll
sretrenchment. In view of previous limitations
word now brought to the arsenal workers or
ganization carries additional significance.
People of this locality do not wish the
government to continue to spend money for
the manufacture of equipment for which there
is no use. That would be indefensible. Of
course there are more guns, ammunition, ETC.,
on hand now than the nation is likely to need
in the next few years, which probably ac-
counts for the attitude congress is reported to
have taken in regard to ordnance appropria-
tions. AS to removal of departments it has been
known that that for the manufacture of leath-
or and cloth goods has been taken out of the
hands of the ordnance department. Whether
II is kept here or taken elsewhere it is prob
able that it will have little to do. Extent of
operations by the machine gun plant it is
proposed to bring here in its place of course

OF the plant remaining under the ordnance d.

Evidently she had changed her
mind or found someone she liked

street to his bachelor quarters. As
his key turned in the lock he was
greeted by an eager whine, and as
he opened the dor an avalanche in
the shape of a small brown and
white dog launched itself upon him.
Hello. Miss Bonnie, old girl"
cried Richard, sitting down in the
Morris chair and drawing the dog
TO his knee. Good old girl. Lone

The dog whined gently and
slobbered over Richards face with
her warm, wet tongue. Richard
caressed the sleek head. Il was

The dog answered with a mourn
full whine, and looked up into her

eyes.
Richard arose, and throwing
aside hat and coat, took up the
local paper and turned to the ac-
count of the dog show that had

pared on occasion to submit available facts
and arguments and II necessary to employ
pressure to prevent the arsenal from being
Disseminated against in favor of other insti-
-tutions.
Rock Island arsenal has many advantages
that are not duplicated by any other in the
country. In location, cheapness of power,
shipping facilities, organization etc. it is sec
ond to none Experience has shown that it
can turn out not only munitions of war, but
goods used by other government departments
at lower price than private manufacturers
ordinarily demand. In fact, under the arrange
of the armistice, it has been bidding on govern
Eent supplies of every kind that it can pro-
duce and thus, even where it did not actually
get the work without question has tended to
secure much more favorable terms than other
wise would have been possible. If economy
is the desired end--and that should be the main
consideration of congress-it ought to be easy
for friends of the arsenal to show where d.
version of work to other points or the splitting
Up of the institution into scattered units would
be a serious mistake
In the long run it will hardly serve the
best interests of the country to bring war
manufacturing to standstill. Munitions
quickly become obsolete. 1t is important that
at least the experimental work be kept up.
That can be done nowhere to better advantage
than at Rock Island arsenal 1t will cost
good deal to prepare the plant for an extended
period of idleness, and vastly more to resume
operations when that becomes necessary.
Maintenance and overhead will go on and the
government will be getting nothing in return.
Even more serious will be the destroying
o. the working organization which is needed
as nucleus for expansion should an emerg-
ency occur. The force here now has proved
its value. 1t knows the business of war manu-
featuring and in time of need could assemble
the great quantities OF equipment now on hand
and get it ready for use in vastly less time
than any force that could be hastily gathered.
Having nobody 10 man the arsenals with hun
dreds of millions of dollars worth of army
goods stored there, would be the rankest folly
as bad as having no standing army.
That there would be any considerable loss
OF population in the quad-cities if the arsenal
force were cut down to few hundred men is
to be doubted. Manufacturing industries here
clamorihg for more help and it is believed
that every man and woman made idle could
get employment at once. Maintenance of the
arsenal with reasonably large force is no
more important to this community than it is
tc the entire country as measure of
preparedness.

Martin Van Buren, was the first
machine made politician in the
presidency. and ne was more than
that when put to the test; he was
the first of the presidents to have
been born under the American
flag, rather than under the British,
and he and Roosevelt were the
only presidents not wholly de-
seconded from inhabitants Of the
United Kingdom.
Sprung from Dutch families on
both sides, Van Buren, married
into a Dutch family, and was able
to speak the language of his ances-
tors. He was born and he died in
little Rip Van Wrinkle village on
the east bank of the Hudson. where
hisfather was farmer and Incl
dentally a tavern keeper. Leaving
school and entering a law office in
his native town at Il, after the
manner Of most American leaders
from Jackson to Lincoln, he picked
up as he went along such eiuca
ton as he gained Yet not one of
our many lawyer presidents has
won higher rank in his profess

that he had To stand on a bench to
address the jury, he scored his first
success at the bar. AT 40 he retir-
ed from practice with money
enough for man with a Dutch
thrift, which was mistaken for
stinginess by the less prudent An
glo-Americans around him.

Van Buren, was chosen a delegate

was of age; was appointed a coun-

Excessive Sweating.

Contrary to the morbid notions
inspired. by exploiters of la-de-da-
ism plain every day sweating is
neither indecent nor impolite. 1t is
simply silly for one to feel embar-
raised because the hands or the
face sweat.
Excessive sweating is frequent in
various systematic diseases Pro-
fuse sweating in sleep occurs in so
many different dieases that might
sweats" can not be considered sus-
gestive of any particular trouble.
People who eat more meat than
they need are likely to sweat ex-
cessively on slight provocation.
Infants, improperly fed, and con-
sequently suffering in some degree
with ricketts, are likely to sweat in
Sleep, especially about the head.
Persons whotake tea or coffee
to excess are likely to sweat too
much.
Sweating limited to one side is
usually due to some reflex irrita-
ton of the sympathetic nervous
system, which controls the sweat
glands.
Excessive sweating of the arm
pits may be safely stopped by
sponging the clean, dry surface
each alternate day for three or
four times with a solution of alumni
mum chloride, one-half ounce, in
distilled or rain water. two ounces,
and allowing this to dry before
dressing.
Excessive sweating Of the feet
may be similarly treated.
If there is disagreeable odor,
the feet should be sponged daily
with a solution of formalin Liquor

ounce, in water, one pint. This
should dry before putting on the
stockings.
Another good remedy for Excess
sive sweating of the feet is finely
powdered alum sprinkled daily in
the shoes and in the stockings. It
is better not to use hot water, but
only cold water for bathing the
feet, and tn more rarely they are
bathed the better In bad cases the
feet of the stockings may be soak
ed in saturated solution of boric
acid las much as the water will

rather than high shoes; and it is
wise, TO go barefooted whenever

satisfactory. This lotion may be
