Marshal Foch's Advice.

'"The way to move forward is by
patience, by earnest %endeavor, by
diligent study, by tireless work." says
Marshal Foch, who did a fair share
of moving forward during the war.
"Plan your battle of life in advance.
Map out every detail of what you want
10 accomplish, and then follow out
your program" The Marshal gives
his formula for success in two en-
fences: HE who hesitates is lost.
He who moves forward wins"

WEDGE WAS USED BY LINCOLN

There may be those who do not see
the interest that attaches to this relic,
but 1t is an article that beyond almost
anything else marks in a material way
the toilsome and humble beginning of
a career that ended in a glory attained
by few among the ons of men. Other
and many relies of Lincoln's life yet
exist-the cabin where he was born,
the houses in which he lived later. his
manuscripts and his words of wisdom
In printed form; but houses decay
and documents burn. His fame win
live as long as the written history and
the memory OF man continue.

No Society News There.

Living a life of isolation on Palmyra
island, a lonely atoll more than 100
miles south of Honolulu, a family COM
posed of two men and one woman
were discovered by the United States
eagle boat No. 4, which recently re-
turned from a visit and an aerial sur
vey of the island. They were trying
to start a copra plantation. The wom-
an, who was i'll, returned to Honolulu
for medical treatment. The island is
far outside the regular steamer paths
and has no wireless or other regular
communication with the outside world.

Spencer cited the Sacco-Vanzetti
case to illustrate how propagandizing
machinery is being speeded up, and his
resolution mentioned the springing up
of numerous organizations now en-
gagged in raising funds represented to
be for Russian relief"
Although the activities of the indie
pendent relief organizations were up
for attack, speakers were careful to
emphasize the need of relief in Russia
as distributed by the American relief
administration.

Lincoln the Man.

Lincoln stands apart as so great
a figure that to many he seems in
vested with attributes that lift him
out of the realm of the common man,
as a saint ceases to be in touch with
humanity. But he was of the col =
mon men, as well as of the great
of earth.

A Feeling of Security

You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp-Root.
It is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and is taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad.
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need a medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this Observation-Disclosures.

STRENGTHENING COOL
SPRING RESERVOIR
South Wall Treated to Rein
forced Concrete Coating as
Protection From Ice.

Damage done by frosts Of previous
years to the brick walls on the east
side OF booth basins of Cool Spring
reservoir, at Tenth and Van Buren,
streets, is being repaired by the Water
Department. and concrete reinforce
ments are being spread over the walls
to prevent further damage this winter
The work on the south basin has
already been completed and following
a cleaning OF the basin il was refilled
with its capacity of about 100000
gallons Of water. S. y. Van Trump
chief engineer of the Water Depart
ment expects the work on the north
basin TO be completed by the end OF
next week. A large number of mer
are now engaged in cleaning this
basin. while others are working or
he concrete reinforcements.
In previous years, Mr.. Van Trumr
explained, the ice in the reservoir ex.
panded and in sliding up the east wal
| tore out the mortar between tn,
| bricks and in receding in many in
stances carried bricks down into tn,
basin, thus weakening the walls. Thi,
fault will be corrected by the con.
crete which is being spread over tn,
bricks.
The concrete will be ten feet deeJ
and two inches thick. The methot

concrete would be spread over all
walls of the basin.
There is no danger of any accident
or break In the reservoir. he added.
The only thing that could cause a
break in the east wall, he smilingly re-
marked would be an earthquake, but
the force of the water would be spent
while flowing through the park, which
is built below It.
Speaking Of probable water short
age because of the absence of rainfall
Mr.. Van Trump explained that such
might result If the tributaries to the
Brandywine frcze over before another
rainfall.
The total capacity Of all the city
reservoirs is approximately $1,000
900 gallons, he said. The capacity OF
the two basins of the Cool Spring
reservoir is 35.o00.000 gallons. the
Clear Water reservoir, 100000, the
Porter reservoir. 35.000,0o0. the Rod

would supply the city for about six
days in the event OF drought. So Tar
