HQ the tested treatment If you want to experiment on your ikin, there are plenty of treatments to experiment whh. But if you want something- the value of which has been proven by years and years of successful use, if you want a treatment that doctors prescribe constantly, that you knovt CTnt'P nothing harsh or injurious, you will find it in R esinol Ointment, aided by R esinol Soap. It usually stops itching instantly, and rare ly fails to clear away all trace of ordinary skin-eruption. SW fcy all clroCTwU Camouflage - - J J Above Soldiers placing camouflage "troops" to deceive the enemy. flage "Yankee" One of the Interesting by develop ments of the world war is the art of "camouflage." wherein artists excel. Camouflage is accomplished in a vari ety of ways, the general laea being to deceive the enemy to make him think he sees something that he deen't see. or to make him see something he thinks he doesn't. It is a trick in which nature excels, the wily oppossum and the chameleon and Its coat of changeable hue being probably the best known examples. The marking on the wings of a butterfly, the shaping of Insects like leaves, the coloring of the sage hen to ulend with the sagebrush, are but a few of the natural demonstrations of the prin ciple of camouflage. In warfare, thrusting above a trench a helmet stuck on a bayonet to draw enemy fire is a crude example.

Kyne, and he tells of his experiences In and out of the army; "Increase Your Driving Power" is by James Hay, Jr.; and there are two article concerning the theatre, one being the atory of Oliver Morosco. and the other, "la Act inn a Bag of Tricks?" by Walter Prichard Eaton. The atate article is "Vermont." The fiction contains a dog story by Don Marquis, a humorous story by II. C. Wltwer, and other entertaining yarns by Edison Marshall, Oregonlan. whose home Is at Med ford, David Grayson and Mary Finn. Woman's Home Companion "What Mast I Do?" in the Septem ber Woman's Home Companion, is an article prepared in the office of Her bert Hoover, the food administrator, and tells the housewives of the coun try how they can help conserve the food supply. "Soldiers All," the new patriotic department, continues, and there Is an interesting article about the silver thimble fund in England. If you are raisins; a rarden, you will be ln tersted in Grace Tabor's article on "Wintering the Garden Harvest." The fiction contains stories by Sophie Kerr. Eleanor Hoyt Bralnerd. Juliet Wllbor Tompkins, and Elizabeth Sears. TeamworkThatCounts "It ain't the guns, nor arma- ment. Nor funds that they can pay, But the close cooperation that Makes them win the day. , It ain't the individuals, nor The army as a whole. But the everlasting team work Of every bloomln' aouL" Kudyard Kipling". The Artists' "Bit" in the War ers carry a dummy smokestack to hide their Identity, submarines carry fake periscopes etc. Getting down to the finer points of the game, and this Is where the artists come In, waves and foam are painted on a warship to deceive the enemy as to the ship's waterllne, and the "tank" is so painted that at a com paratively hort distance It merges with the landscape and is hard to dis tinguish. "Battleship Gray" Gets Same Berolt The French and English have even gone so far as to stretch canvas up right to a height of several feet, and to paint trees, shrubbery and land scape on It. so that to the enemy it will look like the edge of a woods.

Nor any unproportlon'd thougrht his act, lie thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried. Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel; But do not dull thy palm with entertainment Of each new hatch'd, unfledged comrade. Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; but. being in. Bear it, that the opposer may beware of thee, Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; 'lake each man's censure, but reserve thy Judgment. Costly thy habit, as thy purse cu.n buy. But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man; And th-ey in France of the beat rank and station. Are most select and generous, chief in that. Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan oft loees both itself and friend; And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. And this above alfi To thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day. Thou canst not then be false to any man. Shakespeare. English Poet on The World War The Kan Whe Saw. and Other Poemt Aris ing Ovt of tha war, by WllUam Witnon liarper a Brother, New York. $1.00 net England's well known poet in this volume offers a number of "action" poems on the terrors. Ideals, beauties and sacrifices of the great war. A number of them have been published before in periodicals. The number are virile. They carry strength and beauty in their appeal. Zoological Bulletins on File Anyone who is lntersted in the sub ject of zoology, will be interested to learn that the Municipal Reference li brary, 312 city haQ. has on file a set of bound volumes of the bulletms of the New York Zoological society. This Interesting- periodical is copiously J lustrated and is Issued every two raonthsL The library has a set from 1901. Royle Is "Doing Ills Mite" Edwin Milton Royle Is not having any more "Peace and Quiet" than did the hero of his latest, novel of Hint title. He he-s been at his home In Deurien, and like Tad In "Peace and Quiet," he has been serving- Unci Sam. Not, however, run-running; In Mexico, but assisting' the governor of Connecticut in . tin military prepara- , -j. Below America's first camou- marched to new positions. To fool enemy airmen, canvas stretched like a canopy over a roadway is painted to blend with the surrounding field, while soldiers march beneath it, or it is painted to represent a road over which the enemy will keep lookout for troops while the troops march elsewhere. And so on. Camouflage is really playing an important part in strategy of campaigning, and the United States army war department has so recog nized it as to put artists at the large training camps to teach the art, and painters and decorators are enlisting in special camouflage branches of the service. The illustrations above show troops placing "dummy" soldiers in position to draw enemy fire, and a camou flaged "Yankee." as he might look to the texts.

Congressman Rainey Saysv It Is Cheap Magazines; He Gives Some Figures, Comparatively speaking, It ' seems, the United States doesn't cut a very -wide swath when it comes to the pro duction of books, newspapers and ma gazines, being credited ' with having forced book publication Into the bacU-i ground. It wns nil brought again by Congressman Rainey of Illinois, In his recent speech in congress, in which -he.-attacked the mail privileges of peri odicals. Take .the Congressional Record's word for it: Today the only nation in the world that produces as few books per million population as does the l'nltd States is Spain. In Spain, instead of having cheap matrazincH to crowd out her literature, they have bull fights nd entertainments of that kind. Just as edifying and contributing Junt as mucn to her culture as the cheap publica tions, and she produces for each mil lion of inhabitants a many books as we produce. Switzerland Ooai Etrcng The figures I have Riven you Bre startling. Little Switzerland. onc etphteenth of the s7.t of Texas and one twenty-fifth the size of the United States, publishes more than tlirev' quarters as many hooks today a year' as we do in the Unite, States, Den- . mark, Sweden, Norway have e?eh an output of fight limes us many books per million Inhabitants as the United States. Roumania, with only one-thlrteentU ., of the population of the United States, publishes each year one-quarter as many books as are published In the United States. Japan, with half OUT population, publishes four times as many books Russia, which ' has an ignorant class comprising 79 per sent of her popula tlon, produces nearly three times as . many books as the United States, and has a population only two-thirds greater. Book Stores Wither Away. America's movement commenced In this particular with the advent of one cent postage In the land. When tin law went into effect, permitting cheao periodicals to bo carried throughout the land, we hud 4000 book stores In the United States, Felling nothing but books. Today we hnve less than 1500 bock stores in the United States, and they are diminishing In number with each passing month. ill f foj 5 kY "! T. A.
