Peter kept his arms round her
tightly; he did not speak, but from
time to time he kissed her hair and
the little bit of face which was all
he could see, and the slim trembling
hand that elutched the lapel of his
coat as if even now she was afraid
to let him go.
He had never known Nan to break
down like this before, and it cut him
to the heart. She was always so
CHEEKY and brave-it told him only
too surely what she had suffered.

my mother complained of being
generally run down and on the

"Tanlac came to her aid at once,

that she began to eat with the

ELECTRIC HOUSE HEATING

Electric house heating will soon
become general and it is more a
question of how soon there will be
sufficient electric power generated
to heat the homes of the land than
absence of demand.
Leading the world, this nation is
approaching the time when it will
no longer be heated by the time
consuming coal-burning furnaces or
old-fashioned wood-burners general
ly used.
Writ S. Scott, manager of the in
dustrial heating department Of the
Westinghouse Company, reports
great progress in solving the prob.
lens of heating houses by electri-
I city in practical manner.
"When that time comes, the days
of struggling with the furnace will
be over, and the householder will
not need to give his heating system
single thought" says Mr.. Scott
referring to latest inventions.
A reliable authority says there is
already 1,250,000 kilowatts of cleo

DuAr uND CIrDLS EIT,


"There were twelve bayonet
wounds and eight bullet wounds on
the body of one of them. II is safe
to say that the first American cas-
ualty among the combatant forces
during the World War was good
demonstration of fighting.
The speaker was Thomas W. Muir
ply, assistant adjutant of The Amer
lean Legion, Department of Arkan-
sas, who witnessed the raid which
resulted in the killing of the first
three men of the A. f. F. killed in
actual combat with the enemy. The
men were: James Bethel Gresham,
Thomas F. Enright and Merle d.
Hay, all of Company E, 10th Infan-
try. They were killed by German
raiding party ON the night of No
vember 3, 1917.
Murphy, telling of the incident,
said: eve had just moved into the
trenches a little before midnight,
and it was all new to us. "Our COM
pany--G company of the 10th In
fantry had sector about % yards
or more from E company, when the
Germans made their raid. They cap
tured seven of f company men,
wounded five and killed three. When
we went over to the sector after
the raid, we found these three COM
rades. One had twelve bayonet
wounds and eight bullet wounds.
There were several bayonets and
German helmets about him. 1t must
have been good fight"

offensive in which Americans parti-
cipated. Only twelve of his COM

GERMAN JUNK

Americans owners of German pa.
per marks are asked to stop hug
ging the delusion that the stuff is
worth anything. The request comes
from the American Chamber of Com
merce in Berlin, which is tired of re-
ceiving letters from Americans ask
ing when the marks can be redeem
ed, and what they are worth.
The chamber reminds inquirers
that the German government is not
redeeming those marks, and that
the paper mark went out of business
year ago, when the rentenmark
came into use. Also that many Ger
man banks and other institutions
have taken the paper money out of
their vaults and sold it by the ton
to junk dealers.
Here is good opportunity for
American junk dealers, for it said
that there is more of the worthless
German currency in the United
States than in Germany.--Shreve-

E DIT O RI A L S
WHERE PROFANITY
IS JUSTIFIED

I saw last Thursday nights per-
Torrance of "What Price Glory"
the New York play which caused
Army and Navy officials to bitter
ly complain that enlistments were
being seriously reduced by its bru-
tai portrayal Of war. The play has
also been bitterly condemned by
ymug religionists for its profanity.
The very fact that the play is
credited with curtailing enlistments
is proof of its terrific appeal. 1t
shows the brutal responsiveness of
war so that its heroic appeal is
lost. That is just what the world
needs.
The profanity running through it
is thoroughly justified in that it
truthfully represents the language
that is inseparable from war in all
it's brutality and hideousness.- The
snug religionists are evidently UNI
aware of their inconsistency in
criticizing this element of the play,
Because the profanity is as true
to war as is its butchery. They go
hand in hand If they are both
truthfully portrayed they teach the

EDISON'S GENIUS MADE
WORLD BILLIONS RICHER

Some wag once described Edison
as the man who invented the phon-
ograph to keep us awake all night
using his electric lights.
But, more seriously, says the
New Jersey Public Utility Informa-
ton Committee, he is the man who
has added, probably, the greatest
amount of wealth to the human race.
More than fifteen billion dollars
his inventive genius has been worth,
according to estimates. Of that to-
tai, electric railways might account
for six and one-half billions; light
and power, five billions; moving pic
lures, one and one-quarter billions;
telephone, one billion.
