You'll find that Curlee Clothes will please your
pride with their good looks, and your
pocketbook with a substantial saving.

Religion and War.
k\ \
(From the Chicago Tribune.)
They are giving Bibles tn the
soldiers. President Wilson ap-
proves. There are flags next to
the altar- in churches. All of
which goes to show that we have
got over that wholly illogical
spasm of three years ago when
every one was saying: "Christian
nations at war?" It means the
end of Christianity."
ft has not meant the end of
Christianity. But neither has it
produced the revival of religion
the first few weeks of war seem-
ed to presage. In London and
Paris vice is again rampant and
churches are by no means throng
ed. Fear, which brought crowds
at the beginning, has subsided.
Some say that skepticism gains
ground. A misuse of prayer
(all but tlx1 more liberal-minded
cail it a misuse) lias tended to
undermine laith. A man prays
that his son may live, and reads
his son's name next morning in
in the casualty list. The man
across the street ridicules pray-
er, and his sou comes home alive,
hi. England there is a standing
joke about a Tommy who said,
"Bill, 'e prayed like 'ell an' 'ad
'is bloomin' 'ead blowed orf."
Perhaps it is fortunate that
war does not automatically pro-
duce revivals of religion. They
seldom last. No one pretends
that they last. There are those
who think they do more harm
than good. But this much has
been made clear by the ex-
perience ('f warring Europe:
Religion has not declined, even
if it has failed to achieve a bril-
liant advance. In certain
instances, notably that of H Q.
Wells, the war haS awakened in
the individual a profound and
wholly new realization of spiri-
tual values. Such instances are
sporadic, however, and noting
thus far apparent would indicate
that our American churches are
going to have their work done
for them by the mere upheaval
and emotional turmoil of war.
Conditions have changed. The
next result has not.
On the whole, as we see it, the
church problem is the old and
difficult and at the same time
fascinating problem of making
human nature behave as it is not
inclined to behave.

Cardui Made Her Wei
Texas City, Tex.—In an interesting
statement, Mrs. G. H. Schlll, of thfetown,
says.- "For three years I suffered untold
Bgony with my head. I was unable to
do any of my work.
I just wauled tu sleep all the time, for
that was the only ease I could get, when
1 was asleep. I became a nervous wreck
just from the awful suffering with my
head.
I wan so nervous that the least noise
would make me jump out of my bed. I
had no energy, and was unable to do
anything. My son, a young boy, had to
do nil my household duties.
I was not able to do anything until 1
took Cardui. 1 took three bottles in all,
ai<d it surely cured me of those awful
headaches. That has been three years
ago, and 1 know the cure is permanent,
for I have never had any headache since
bulng Cardui. ..
Nothing relieved me until 1 took Cardui.
It did wooden for me."
Try Cardui for your troubles—made
from medicinal ingredients recommended
In medical books as being of benefit In
tomato troublssr and 40 years of use has
proven that the books are right. Begin
taking Cardui today. NC-134
There is a lot of .sound philo-
sophy,squarely put for farm con-
sumption, in these words of J. P.
Mason, a, widely-known Illinois
j dairyman, reported by Prairie
Farmer: "Within a few miles
of me are men trying to dairy
without a silo. They are pretty
nearly plumb era/v. < i f course; it
must cost thein ,f>4 to $5 (per
hundred pounds) to make milk,
work and all. I tell you those
fellows don't deserve au increas-
ed price. Then there are a lot of
men who grow niether clover
nor alfalfa. We cannol milk and
make money without one or the
other of these, and we mustn't
lot troubles in mowing stand in
our way. We've just got to
grow them in spite of winter
killing once in a while."

TELLS HOW TO LOOSEN A
TENDER CORN OR CALLUS
SO FT LIFTS OUT
WITHOUT PAIN
You reckless men and women
who are pestered with corns
and who have at least once a
week invited au awful death from
lockjaw or blood poison are now
told by Cinciunati authority to
use a drug called freezone, which
the moment a few drops are ap-
plied to any corn or callus the
soreness is relieved and soon the
eutir« corn or callus, root and
all, lifts off with the lingers.
Freezone dries the moment it
is applied, and simply shrivels
the corn or callus without in-
flaming or even irrtating the
surrounding tisane or skin. A
small bottle of freezone will
cost very little at any of the
drug stores, but will positively
rid one's feet of every hard or
soft corn or hardened callus. If
your druggist hasn't any freez-
one he can get it at any whole-
sale drug house for ycu.
The True Basis For Marriage.
Thomas Carlyle exerted a
greater influence ou literature
during the middle of the 19th
century, and on the ethical, religi-
ous and political beliefs of his
time, than any other man. He
married Jane Baillie Welsh, a
descendant of Sir William
Wallace and John Knox. Carlyle
was her teacher. She wrote
these words after they had been
married for thirty years:
I married for ambition; Carlyle
has exceeded all that my wildest
hopes ever imagined, and I am
miserable.
Marriages for ambition,
money, social or political posi-
tions or convenience usually
prove to be tragedies. There is
but one sure basis for the mar-
riage state—love. Love with
children insures happiness.
If your child starts in its sleep,
grinds its teeth while sleeping,
picks at. tli« nose has a
breath, tickle appetite, pale com-
plexion, and dark rings under
the eyes; it has worms; and as
long as they remain in the in-
testines, that child will be sick-
ly. WHITE'S CREAM VERMI-
FUGE clears out the worms,
strenglitens the stomach and
bowels and puts the little one on
the road to health and cheerful-
ness. Price 25c per bottle.
Sold by Crescent Drug Store.
As the wise man knows he is
a foo!.. he.is miserable, the fool
imagines he is wise and is hap-
py.
■ Government Tells How to Remove
| Spots from Garments and Farbrics.
j To give clothes a longer period
! of service, and to conserve gar-
! ments or farbrics which may ap-
i pear to be hopelessly stained, is
Uhe object of a new publication
i just issued by the United States
Departmsnt of Agriculture.
Lady Macbeth might have had
less trouble with that spot if she
could have read this bulletin on
"The Removal of Stains from
Clothing and Other Textiles."
Uncle Sam says that if the house-
wife knows the cause of a stain,
she can find a common-sense way
to get rid of it by following the
directions given in this bulletin.
Methods are outlined for the re-
moval of practically any kind of
stain, from "acids" all the way
through the alphabet to "white-
wash." They have been teste*!
bv the home economics experts
of the department.
If stains are of such a nature
that they will not yield to laund-
ering or sponging with water or
with water and soap, it is neces-
sary to use one or more of a
number of chemicals. Besides
water and soap the bulletin
npnmes rs the substance most use-
ful in removing stains, Javelle
water, potassium permanganate
solution, oxalic acid solution,
ammonia water, carbon tetrach-
lor id, French chalk, and cream
or tartar, each which may be
used successfully, provided the
right one is used at the right
time. Detailed instructions for
treating various stains are con-
tained in publication. Copies of
the publication, Farmers' Bul-
letin 861, may be had free so ion,?
as the supply lasts, on applica-
tion to the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture, Washing-
ton, D. C.
