Those medicines which live for even a quarter of a century are escepLioiial, and continuous use for over two-thirds of a century is indisputable cvidcucc of Tvonderful merit. Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup came into existence in 1852, and from that timu to the present it has grown in the confidence and estimation of its increasing number of users, fa all these years it has steadily growalB/i popular favor. Its ■wonderful building up power is 6hov,’n in the experience of Mrs. (J. E. Chadwick, Seale, Ala. “I was all run down in health,” she says. ‘‘Weighed only 104J pounds and getting worse every day. I began the use of Dr. Thacher’a Liver and Blood Syrup and today, I am thankful to say, X am in F;rfect health and weigh 155 pounds, attribute my good health to the use of that most wonderful medicine. I firmly believe there are numerous suf fering people that could be sound and well by the use of Dr. Thacher’a Livei l«nd Blood Syrup.” ^ If you need a tonic, or a blood purl- *fler; if your liver is out of order, youi stomach troubles you, or you are con stipated, have indigestion or dyspepsia, try Dr. Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup. It is purely vegetable and connot possibly iiyure any one. It has been of wonderful benefit to others, therefore should command your atten tion All dealers in medicines sell it and will recommend it.

P’iltered and sterilized water for the men in the trenches at all times is being provided by water trains, the war department ar.nounoed. Under the direction of the surgeon general’s office sections held by the American forces where permanent wa terworks have not been established will be fully supplied by the.se trains, which are in reality miniature water works that chemically treat, filter and sterilize all water used for drinking purposes. Each unit carries an expert chemist, bacteriologist and pumpman, and the water tanks are mounted on motortrucks equipped -JiV'ith powerful liphts so that the work can be carried on at night. Women for British Pulpits. Woman preachers for Great Britain are a possibility if the government’s drafiing of men between forty-five and fifty causes a much further shortage In the crop of clergymen. Already three clergymen have en listed rather than be put In a noncom- batant corps. That women will make good preach ers is the opinion of many of the Brit ish clergy. **Women can deal with many ques tions that I cannot deal with,” says the Rev. Newton of the City Temple. Saving Wool Rags. The answer to the question, "Why should we save wool?” Is that a fully equipped soldier uses 13 times as much wool as does a civilian. Also that there are not enough sheep raised tf> meet the needed wool supply* UniE ASIDE How Military Stores on Mexican Border Are Salvaged. Nothing That It Is Possible to Repair, or in Any Way Make Useful, Is Ever Thrown Away as Worthless. The most extensive dealer In Junk on the Mexican bordi>r wears an olive drai) imiform, two l)ars on his slioul- ders and a seriotis l(»ok, for busiiu'ss is always rushing witli Capt.

Tents whicli have l)cen torn by the winds are rei'aired i>y men who have been sailors or who have experience in repairing canvas. Canvas cot cov ers whieli hiivo lx‘('n torn are cut up into snmll i>ieces and made into clotli- ing itags. Tliese cot covers were for merly discard('d.

Broken spurs, ragtred guidons and flags, eyelets from wornout puttees, harness, saddles, the ropes and even “hull whiiis”’ used by tlio army mule drivers are salvaged in Uncle Sam’s i»ig junk shop here, and the govern- ni(‘nt is .saved thousands of dollars by repairing army property wliich other wise would have to lie replaced with new. KNOWN BY FRUITS The morals of a people are reflect ed in the character of their amuse ment. This is a statement that can- ^not be doubted by anyone. Further, a tree is known by the fruit it bears, \and a man is judged by the company Oie keeps. A drinking character is tiever so happy as wlien he is among Vhose who drink. This is a pastime In which he takes delight and his Character is clearly depicted by all. hVe should never judge other than Hghteously, and unless we can do i;his it is best and wisest not to judge at all lest we make a mistake. Some trees bear beautiful fruit but at tht |;ame time it may be bitter or un- f.vholesome. Some people present a lovely outside appearance but in wardly they are rotten. Such char acters need to be scrutenized closely, for this is the only way by which you can discern them. Tlie allurements of toro- duct is hard to cha.nge or eliminate for the plastic perio(i has passed. In ibis age of progress it beliooves us all to be on guard, for the many devices of men to make money are varied and some of them are ques- t'onable, thouirh garnish(i with sem blance of right. The tiling that does not tend io elevate man must, logi- j tally sjieakirg, degrade him. For it j is a fact that if we do not continue ' to rise in the scale of life as the days j go by, we go in the opposite direc- j tion. There are no intermediate or neutral groumls. We either bear fruit or we do not 1)car fruit. F. S.

The Tnstalia plant is In the hands of a receiver and it was necessary to g(‘t permission of the United States district court before Mr. Rhodes could enter into any agreement with the re ceiver. This was granted. Mr. Rhodes said he could «itract large quantities of potash for fertilizer from the dust and waste of cement mills that will be of groat benefit to the country in increasing the supply. It is understood that the United States government is watching the ex periment with interest.

May. wss FIRES IN SCHOOLS MEAN HEAVY LOSSES Dogs on the Battlefield. Experiments made in the training of dogs as messengers with the ar mies in the field have. It is stated, given satisfactory results. The dogs which have proved most receptive under instruction are chiefly half- bred collies and retrievers. A rather poor breed of bob-tailed sheep dogs has also done well. All have been trained to perform their errands during heavy firing, both rifles and guns. They can be fired over as easily as the ordinary sporting dog, and, what Is quite another thing, they will face fire at close range. Many have shown amazing skill In getting over, under and through all sorts of obstacles, including wire. Destination—Berlin. H. T. Bennett, a Seymour traveling! man, was standing on a depot platform In a Kentucky town while a group of colored men were waiting to entrain, and overheard the following conversa tion between one of the conscripts and a colored girl who was bidding him goodby: “V\'^ell, Sam, nr»» you goin’ with this bunch? I supi>'e-j you are goln* to France right soon, ain’t you?” the girl asked. “Not exactly,” replied the soldier candidate. “I suppose ni go through France, but, you see.

School buildings are just as suscep tible to serious damage by fire as oth er structures, and should be as well built and protected as other build ings. The record of fires in schools in Canada shows that, during the last four years, a fire has occurred every week in a public school or residential college. The direct financial loss re sulting from these fires amounts to more than $1,250,000. A careful study of conditions show’s that less than one per cent of our schools are in any sense fire-resisting and that over 60 per cent are built of wood. The safety from fire of the 28,000 public schools in Canada, in which ov er 1,500,000 children receive their education, has received little attention outside of cities and towns where 1>uilding ordinances govern methods of construction. The people, as a whole, favor efii- cient fire protection in schools, but when it comes to the question of a single building, the local public al most invariably votes for the cheap est type of construction. Up to the present, loss of life ^n the schools of panada has not been such as to arouse a strong public sentiment in favor of improved construction.—J. G.
