War has alailished isiverly in Kng
land, a magazine writer says. In Wes
Virginia, the war. aides! by Ihe state
legislature, lias moved to abolish idle
ness. A measure recently passed In
that state requires every alile-bodieo
citizen between the ages of 16 and tk
to work at least thirty-six hours it
week.
The remarkable thing aliont the law
Is that it requires perrons who have
Incomes already sufficient to mall)tain
them without labor to find employment
Any one violating this law will lie put
to work by the counties or munlciiwlt-
ties and half their allowance* will go
to dependents. It s apiiarefit that if
all those who squander today (he
fruits of the toll of others were forced
to employ their leisure In useful work,
our national wealth would increase in
proportion.
Plenty for all Is not a dream, wheth-
er reference Is to money or work.—

Question. What is a Government
bond ?
Answer It is a receipt given by the
Government for money loaned to
them.
Q Why do they call it a “Liberty”
bond?
A. Because the money yog lend the
Government will be used to make this
world a safe place to live in, and to
fight the Germans in Europe right
now instead of having to do it in Tex-
as in a few years time.
Q. Then we have to- fight the Ger-
mans anyway?
A. Yes. They will crush u* with-
eut mercy, if we ever give them the
chance. ,
Q. Why should I lend the Govern-
men this money ?
A. Because money is more import -
and than men. To send our boys to
the front, without money to keep the
big artillery going, is murder.
Q. Is my money safe if I lend it ?
A. Uncle Sam’s word and all his
wealth is back of his bond.
Q. How much does Uncle Sam want
me to lend him?
A. What you can afford, even if it’a
only $50.00.
Q. Will 1 be paid any interest?
A. Sure. $3.50 a year for every
$100.00 you lend.
Q. Will I have to pay taxes on the
amount I lend?
A. No. And by escaping taxes the
bond is as good as a 6% investment
Q. Suppose I need money later?
A. Take your bond to the bank and
borrow money on it. It will be the
best security in the world.
Q. Must I pay all of the money at
once?
A. No, Only $2.00 on every $100.00
you decide to lend, and the balance on
easy terms between now and August
easy
30th.
Q. Where do I apply for a bond?
A. At any bank.
Q. I guess that as an American citi
gen I must buy a bond?
A- You have said it. __

It Was Funny Hardware Clerk
Couldn’t Think Sooner What She
Wanted, but Couldn’t Name.
She stood before the hardware coun-
ter In the department store and her
eye had a wandering look. It took
In at a glance the various things dis-
played on the counter and then it wan-
dered to the shelves.
“What can I show you?” asked the
girl behind the counter.
“That’s what I am trying to think
of. I meant to write the name down
before 1 left home, but I didn’t, and 1
cau’t remember. Anyhow, It’s one of
these little doodads that are three of

they come In hn*dy In so many ways
and you—a funny little contraption
tliat you can do us much with as you
con with a hairpin. It’s a combina-
tion thlugum-bob—and don’t you
know what I mean? It is funny you
don’t get the idea of It. Being In u
store where you are probably selling
them every day. I. should think you
would know right off what I mean. It’a
the commonest sort of a little rinktum,
a combination affair that you open
cans and pull out corks with and—”
"You mean a combination cork-
screw?"
“That’s It! I knew I would remem-
ber the name of the little jigger, if I
put my mind to it. Thank you. Yes,
I am sure It Is —a—a what do you call
it? That’s it! That’s it! The very
Identical little squlggledom I was look-
ing for. Funuy you didn’t remember
the Dame of it sooner.”

We lielleVe that the time has come
for Great Britain to render the whole
of the Inland waters, extending from
the Shetland Islands and Norway to
the Sira Its of Dover, a closed sea. by
building und maintaining u continuous
line of netting from flu* northernmost
liohits of the Sheoland Islands to the
nearest point mi the western coast of
Norway, and by similarly.^closing the
open iwssages between the islands
which form the Orkney and Shetland
I sin ml group.
A vast undertaking It Is true. Imt
not nearly so vast ns the peril to the j
allied cause against whlchit would
provide a certain protection. By thus
blockading the bleckaders within the
North Sea. the trans-atlantfe routes
would Ik* opined up once more for the!
uninterrupted flow of the food, muni-;
thins and supplies which are necessary
for that decision on land which the Al-
lies now have within their grasp. The
cost of this huge ineffective work would
not he less than 15 million dollars to
20 million dollars. A Idg sum; yet
Great Britain Is speudlng twice that
sum every day of the war.
But the Germans have provided
tlieir submarines with a net cutter—a
revolving knife earned on the end of
a long extension tube aud operated
from within the submarine. Well,
there is an answer to that. Let this
great net Ik* 156 feet deep, he built of
half Inch steel wire with a 10-foot
mesh, and a ring at each intersection
into which would Ik* snapped a contact
bomb, large enough to cut a hole In
the submarine, or at least start*u leak
along the seams of her plating.
Should the knife out a strand of the
wire, tin* submarine In forcing her way
through would carry the flexible net
with her, aud ns it swung In against
her sides, one or more of the bombs
would Ik* pretty certain of contact.
Throughout the whole 250 miles of
netting required there would Ik* main-
alned a dense patrol of destroyers,
torpedo boats and seagoing chasers,
nnd at every 30 miles might Ik* anch-
ored a mother ship, surrounded with a
triple line of netting. These ships
would form the permanent base for the
patrol boats and for a large fleet of
airplanes.
Tlie depth of water, in feet, on, the
line proposed, running east. Is us fol-
lows : 380 feet, 480. 510, 462, 372, 600,
042, 1,020 feet. These are formidable
depths, but they could be overcome by
a sufficiency of mushroom anchors
and steel wire cable. Such a blockade
could be broken only if the battle
ship fleet of Germany came out In
force, which is the very thing that the
British fleet is hoping that it will
do.—-Scientific American,

Relieved After Taking Two Bottles
Of Cardui, Says Tennessee
Lady.
Whltwell, Tenn.—Mrs. G. P. Cart-
wright, of this place, writes: “About
four years ago the dizzy spells got so
bad that when I would start to walk
I would just pretty near fall. I wasn’t
past doing my work, but was very
much run-down.
T told my husband I thought Cardui
would help me, as a lady who lived
next door to me had taken a great
deal, and told me to try it. This was
w%en we were living in Kentucky.
My husband got me a bottle and I
took It according to directions. It
helped mo so much that he went back
and got me another bottle. I got a
whale lot better and just quit taking
It. I got over the dizzy spells...I took
no other medicine at .that time nor
since for this trouble. No, I've never
regretted taking Cardui.
I felt just fine when I finished ths
second bottle.”
Purely vegetable, mild and gentle

Ths Psnnanit# War.
The Peutwnlte war was a humorous
name given to an early boundary dis-
pute between the colonies of Connecti-
cut and Pennsylvania. By the original
charter granted to William Penn the
northern boundary of Pennsylvania
was fixed at latitude 43 degrees north.
Connecticut claimed as far south as 41
degrees, and both colonies made set-
tlements In the disputed territory.
There were many clashes that esme
near to actual fighting, but finally con-
gress and the courts settled the dis-
pute In favor of Pennsylvania.
