It was all the barber's fault Ha
had no business kidding the young
boy. Goodness knows, the man In uni
form never said anything to the bar
ber before. This was the way it was:
The young soldier was a frequent
visitor at the barber shop on the ave
nue. He didn’t have so much of a
beard, but yet it demanded shaving
once in a while. The barber had no
ticed that the boy only came in on
Saturday evenings.
So he said: “Say, son, bow's it come
you step in here only on Saturday
nlyhts? Don't you need a shave often-
er; can’t you get leave, or won’t you
pay union prices?”
The boy blushed. “I get the leave
all right, and Uncle Sam pnys me
about as often as any boss barber, but
you see. I shuve myself once a week,
and let you shave me once a week,
too.”
“So you’re Just on semi-frlendly
terms with the safety, eh?” urged the
barber.
“Oh, I wouldn't say that," replied
the soldier. “You see, I have two girls
in this town. One I see every Wed
nesday. Then I shave myself. The
other I see every Saturday. Then I
pay you the fifteen cents. Mary likes
the movie soldier type, clean-cut,
clean-snaven, handsome fellow. I see
her on Wednesdays. Ruth thinks she
cares for the bloody, scratched-up son
of battle. I see her on Saturdays.
Now you understand?”
“Maybe,” laughed the barber, as he
sharpened
his never-ready razor.
“You’ll give Mary my regards to
night?”
"Mary!” said the soldier. “Mary!
Bless you, man, did you think I was
going to see Mary! Nope, I see Ruth
every Saturday night.”—Indianapolis
News.
The next sunrise found us anchored
at the entrance to an English harbor.
Ahead and astern, as far as the eye
could reach, stretched a line of ships
waiting to carry food into England.
That is how England is being starved
by Germany 1 And that is how the
British and American navies are do
ing their work I
After several deeply loaded ships
had shot in past us we got our pilot
and Joined the procession. Bound out
in the opposite direction a powerful
destroyer of the latest type swept up,
three black plumes trailing from her
funnels and a great white bone tn her
teeth. She was the very spirit of daBh
and daring, with a tinge of swank.
“I say, that's a tophole,” “Look at
that," "Absolutely It,” “Ripping,” was
chorused In the English of the Isles.
A big South African nudged me.
“Yank, look at that flag."
It was the Stars and Stripes.
More than all the speeches I had
beard on the significance of this war
to the Anglo-Saxons meant the quick
glimpse of that fine ship under that
flag outward bound to defend the
shores of England.
“Come on, Springboks, a good one
for the Yanks,” yelled the big colontai,
and the men who had licked the Ger
mans In East Africa and who were
going to lick them in France roared
the Zulu war cry.—Gregory Mason in
Outlook.
A good deal has been written about
“Even with peace it is doubtful if
nor clothes will return to normal, in
price or otherwise, until long after
the war,” writes Douglas Jaspersen in
Everybody's. “The necessity of re
habilitating the millions of men In
khaki is already a problem. This vast
army to be reclothed will be a heavy
drain upon the world’s already ex
hausted wool and shoddy markets.
Then, too, the need of depleted Ger
many for wool and shoddy should fur
ther tend to increuse the shortage all
over the world.
“Ever since the beginning of the war
shoddy has been disappearing from
our midst at an alarming rate, while
the production of wool has been en
tirely inadequate to the world's needs.
“In normal times the life of a pound
of wool In Its vurious Incarnations ex
tends over a period of years.
"But war, the most wasteful of all
businesses, has changed the old order
of things. Both the virgin wool and
the shoddy that went to make up that
khukl coat for some soldier are buried,
with its wearer, somewhere ‘over
there' and will never return to do duty
for us again. And so, in a great many
cases, the life of a pound of wool has
been suddenly reduced from some
where around six years to as many
months. Wool alone can never clothe
the world. It has been shoddy that
kept the world's clothing bill down for
many a year, and until the shoddy sup
ply Is normal again we can all expect
to have more or less trouble with our
clothes.”
That the germ la the cause of moat
deadly disease is more than mere
theory—it is a real fact. The work
of tuberculosis sanitariums, the ty
phoid hospitals in the canal zone,
the vaccine laboratories are all evi
dence of the fact that the safety of
man does not depend on good or bad
luck, but upon the fight which each
Individual makes upon the disease
germs, the cause of most losses of
life and dollars. In selecting a weap
on to kill the germs of disease several
vital questions must be looked squar
ely in the face or disinfectantlng will
be little better than useless. First—
Has the disinfectant the power to
kill all kinds of disease germs? 2nd,
Can the disinfectant be used safely
whenever disease germs are found?
3rd, Is it effective, when used any
where and every where, and by any
body, and can it be used with safety?
Therefore a disinfectant that can be
used with safety must not be a poison
or coatine acid, whereas poisonous
disinfectants endanger the life of
human beings or animals, this can be
verified by turning to the files of
our daily papers. When buying a dis
infectant be sure what you buy as
your life may depend on that pur
chase, look at the label, note the
germ killing power and if it is poison
or not. Disinfectants are measured
upon the germ killing strength of
undiluted carbolic acid, which they
term a phenol coefficient. Look for
the phenol coefficient on the label.
B. K. was tested by the United
States Hygiene Laboratory and found
to have a phenol coefficient 10 plus
or ten times stronger than undiluted
carbolic acid as a germ killer. Much
stronger than coal tar disinfectants
—much safer.
Safe—B-K. contains .no .poison,
acid or oil.

DIDN’T WANT TO BE LEFT OUT
Doughboy Had Good Job Behind the
Lines, But He Hated to Miss the
Big Show.
He was an American in France in
a uniform trudging along townrd the
front, a husky chap wearing a worried
look on his face.
“Say, do you know where the Nthty-
ntth .ls?" he asked.
“Right on the road going straight
toward Germany.”
“Not through fighting yet, are they?"
he queried anxiously.
“Nope; they’re never through.”
“You've said it, Bo. You see, I kind
of batted out of luck. They sent me
off to school, and I’ve missed a lot of
the show. I’m on permission now, but
I figured I'd come up and fight awhile
with the old crowd instead. Got six
days more before I report for the new
job.”
“What kind of school did you go
to J”
“Horseshoeing school. I graduated
first-class horseshoer. Not bad work,
but too far back to get any Boches.
That’s the reason I'm spending permis
sion with the old outfit.
I heard
they’re going right after t-he Heinles,
so I came out to get in on the party. I
gotta beat it along. So long.”
He trudged along the dusty road,
speeding up in spite of his pack, to
catch up with the "outfit” before the
show was all over.
Misused Donkey.
The British transport to Buku and
back again Is said to have been largely
accomplished by donkeys, writes Nor
man Hapgood in Leslie’s. In Mesopo
tamia the donkey does nearly every
thing. He delivers the drinking water
to the houses of Bagdad. He trans
ports vegetables, fruit, marhle, brick
for ordinary life. In war he carries
the soldier, his kit, end the donkey’s
own meal of barley. Where did the
donkey ever acquire the reputation of
being stupid? He is amiable, indus
trious, sure footed. It was on a donkey
that Mahomet went td heaven to learn
the will of God. The Savior on Palm (
Sunday entered Jerusalem on a don
key. The little animal’s history is dis-'
tlngulshed, as his character is strong
and his Intellect sound. That the writ
ers of fables and the concoct era of say
ings have contrived to ruin his fame
there Is nothing In history to Justify. |
Triumph of American Dyes.
The latest official reports for the fis
cal year which ended with June show
that the American exports of aniline
dyes for 1818 amounted to >7,296,080.
This, when compared with our Imports
of aniline dyes in 1814, is significant I
of the strides made by American chem
ists in the dye situation. Germany
supplied these coal dyes before the war (
and America paid more than >7.000,000 '
a year for the products. Today Amer- ;
lea makes enough of the leading colors
for home needs and is supplying other
countries in large quantities, as the
exports indicate.
In the early days of 1915 there were
but seven companies In America pro
ducing colors. Today It Is estimated '
that there are about 150 concerns In I
this line.
Interested In Firearms.
When brother returned from Sunday
school, mamma explained to him that
he soon would be old enough to sing
in the vested choir and probably would
be accepted as a member, if he was a
good boy. She emphasized the matter
of deportment and said some who
were good and faithful in attendance

sional, others to carry flowers.

Harvesting consists In cutting the

found that this treatment Improves the
growth and stand of the beds to such
an extent that they may be cut over
about every 80 days. The area cut at
present extends from Point Conception
south to the Mexican line.
The potash is all used for chemical
purposes, owing to its unique purity,
and there is not enough of it to sup-
ply this demand. The total quantity of
the pure product is not great enough
to be considered seriously for fertilizer
purposes. There are, however, a num
ber of residues produced containing
potash which amount to quite a ton
