Clever Strategy.
A farmer, whoso watermelon patch
had been the object of scvcrul raids
Dy passing motorists, secured Im-

'Warning: Six of these melons nre
shot full of strychnine nnd nobody
but mo knows which ones they arc!"

Save the Babies
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. Wo can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent,
or nearly one-quarter, dio before they reach one year; thirty-soven
per cent, or tnoro than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they are fifteen !
We do not hesitate to say that a timely roe of Castorla would save
many of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of theso infantile deaths are occasioned by the uie of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain
more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities,
deadly poisons'. In any quantity, they stupofy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. Thero can be no danger in the use of Cas-

Cost of Politeness.
"Politeness costs nothing."
"That's a mistake," replied the man
who docs not articulate well. "Every

IT'S NOT YOUR HEART;

Kidney disease la no respecter of per

The kidneys are tho most important
organs of the body. They are the fil
tercrs of your blood. If tho poisons
which are swept irom tho tissues by tbe
blood are not eliminated through tho
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.
Kidney disease is usually indicated by
weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
despondency, backache, stomach trou-

and lumbago.

ordered n medicine to be given nt

"Did you give Tom his medicine
regularly?" the husband and father
asked unhopefully upon his return
homo In tho evening.
"Didn't miss n time," the mother re
sponded with satisfaction.
"How In the wofid did you ever
think of It?" the mnn asked.
"I didn't; but It wns easy. I Just
told Tom this morning nt what hours
ho was to tnko the medicine, nnd half
an hour before each time he began

Harvard University Head Tells Good
Story With a Moral That Is
Easy to Understand.
There' Is n story told In Boston
which ought to spur on Hnrvurd grad
uates in their efforts to obtain the
Harvard endowment fund. President
Lowell and u business mnn were talk
ing over the progress of the cam
paign. "I know how much you nre asking
for," said tho business mnn, "but how
much do you really want?"
"Well," President Lowell answered
with a slight twinkle, "I am like the
little girl who went to tho butcher's
for her mother. She stood by the
counter until it came her turn and
tho butcher Raid, 'What do you want,
little girl?'
" 'I wnnt n limousine,' said the little
girl, 'but mother wants 10 cents' worth
of liver.' "
"Carpet-Bagger."
It Is said that the term "carpet-bagger"
was first applied to political ad
venturers In America. It was designed
to describe a needy political adventur

rant In order to try to get Into ofilce.
He wns so called because ho wtis re
garded us having only enough property
to fill a carpet bag.

GOOD AND BAD LUCK SIGNS
Practically Every Country Has Its
Favorite Superstitions Dealing
With Marriage Ceremony.
Did you know thnt the expression,
"tying the knot," grew out of n super
stition? Among tho llahylonlnns ono
part of the marriage ceremony was to
take a thread from the garment of tho
bride nnd one from the groom and. tie
them together Into a knot.
Russia has curloutt superstitions.
Ono ludicrous one Is that the bride
and groom race rapidly down the nlslo
ns soon as the bridal procession enters
the church. Whoever places a foot on
the cloth In front of tho altar first will
bo master In the household.
In Spain It wns considered a good
omen to tie nround the necks of the
brldo nnd groom a silk sash fringed
with gold while they 'knelt before the
L altar, thus binding their love the
stronger.
In Prance It Is hold to be unlucky
to allow a person older than the bride
to enter the church door first. And
there are other superstitions from
many countries.
It Is lucky for a couple to run out
of church hnnd In hand.
The bride nnd bridegroom must not
look about or recognize any one on go
ing up tho church aisle, for one who
does It will go elsewhere for love In a
short time.
The one of the betrothed pair who
gets up first from the altar will al
ways In after life be the one to get
up first In the house.
It Is a sign of bad luck nnd separa
tion If n woman signs her maiden
name Instead of her new married nnmo
on the church register when she mar
ries. It Is good luck to the couple If n
pigeon alights on tho church as 9
couple enters It to be married.
If the official clergyman has trouble
to find his glasses It Is a sign that
ono of the two before him will net
bear Inspection.
If tho officiating clergymnn makes n
mistake some one Is present who Is
opposed to tlie match.
It Is bad luck to have a minister
refuse to perform the ceremony on
nny excuse.
If the pastor drops the prayer book
while rending tho service the couvlo
will bo blessed with twins.
It Is n bad omeri for tho wedded cou
ple If a person In riournlng passes Mio
open church door while tho ceremony
Is being performed.
It Is lucky to mnrry In n ruined
church.
Making Medals In Millions.
The 1014 star recipients can be num
bered In tens of thousands; those who
wear the ribbon of the.1015 star are
reckoned by hundreds of thousands,
nnd In millions must tho men nnd
women be counted who will be entitled
to the general service medal for the
war, 1014-1018, says an English ex
change. On the other hand. In 1803 medals
were awarded for special campaigns,
In which the recipients were numbered
In tens.- Three little scraps occurred
In West Africa during that year and
the general service medal with n spe
cial clasp was awarded for each little
brush.
The Luke Nynssa clasp and medal Is
sue wns made to only 25 men for serv
ices In Nynssaland. Thirty-four only
received tho medal with tho Llwondl
clasp, given for the engagement with
tho Chief Llwondl. Forty were given
tho .Tuba River clasp and medal, ns
members of tho naval brigade that
went as volunteers) the rescue of two
Englishmen held captive by tho So
und is.
Of course, In Wellington's days, un
til Waterloo, only the chief officers
and cotnmnnders were given medals.
An Arrest That Failed.
' The moon had not yet como up and
the motorcycle pntrolmun, who was on
the lookout for spooners, now nnd then
would turn a searchlight Into tho
bushes of the lonely road. Suddenly
ahead of him he saw a small sedan,
and as It passed under a street lamp
he saw curly head resting comfortably
on n dark shoulder, while- tho arm of
this same dnrk shoulder was thrown
protectlngly around the curly-headed
one's neck. One glance was sufficient
for the observant patrolman, nnd he
started his motorcycle forward until
he arrived alongside.
"You nre under arrest for spooning,"
bo said grullly, and then he looked In
side. What he snw made him mum
ble n hasty "beg pardon," and tear off
down the street at n great pace. Tho
Surly head belonged to a small child
asleep on her mother's shoulder. Kan.
