It. has not. yet been found possible, says Das Deutsche Wollen-Gewerbe, to make paper textile fabrics sufficiently supple for extensive use in the clothing industry. The difficulty consists j in making the textiles supple with-[ out correspondingly diminishing their, tenacity.

School boards m several Indiana cities are considering the advisability of lengthening the Christmas vacation for the schools as a fuel conservation move.

The boys in many of the county schocrls we solving the fuel problem by substituting wood. “Our architects are gradually learning that after all is said and done the thing worth while is to make a home that Is attractive, in which people will want to live and to which they will return with delight.” So says Louie C. Tiffany, founder of the Tiffany Studios, in the December issue of Harper's Bazar.

Nervous energy is back of that ; quality of enthusiasm which puts life: 1 and ginger into one’s efforts. En-j { ergy is chiefly the basis of that spirit , of ambition without which one is not impelled to strive for heights above . the common level. It is inevitable, that the man lacking in ambition 1 and enthusiasm will remain where he! is. He cannot and wil Inot climb because he lacks the internal incentive, the spur and the driving power, by means of which energetic men push their way upwards.—From “The View of Money Making." by Hugo Masters in December Physical Culture. A decade ago the president of the Atchisin, Topeka and Santa Fe railway, E. P. Ripley, said: “1 am thoroughly convinced that I shall live to [ i see the railroads of the country ini the control of the government.” He was then sixty-two. "The signs may not lie plain to you. but they are to! me.” This remark was made to "Boersianer,” who. in his article on the subject of the future of the railroads, which appears in Hearst’s Magazine for December, draws significant convulsions based on a searching analysis of the whole range of events, affecting the financial status of the railroads of the United I States since the beginning of the war ■in Europe. I The coal thief who attempts to solve his coal problem by robbing coal cars ‘ in transit may find himself in serious trouble with Uncle Sam. for a vigorous campaign is under way to stop the stealing of coal. There is a federal statute which provides that whoever shall steal or unlawfully take or coni ceal from any railroad car, station house, platform, depot, etc., with intent to convert to his own use, any goods or chattels moving as interstate commerce, shall in each case be fined not more than $5,000 or iprisoned not more than ten years, or both. The state statute covering larceny applies to coal stealing. Several county fuel agents, with the aid of federal, state and railroad authorities, are making a determined effort to break up the coal stealing gangs. ('. F. S. Neal, in Boone county, has been getting results. In that county within three weeks 12 men have been caught and sentenced for stealing from coai cars. Mrs. P. B. Leach spent the day in Fort Wayne shopping.

pOLDS Head or chest—arn..e(t — treated "externally" Your limit * To Live Long! A recipe Riven by a famous physician for long life was: ‘‘Keep the kidneys in good order! Try to eliminate thru the skin and intestines the poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys. Avoid eating meat, as much ns possible; avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try a milk and vegetable diet Drink plenty of water, and exercise so you sweat —the skin helps to eliminate the toxic poisons and uric acid.” For those past middle life, for those easily rccogninwl symptoms of inflammation, as backache, scalding “water,” or if,uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, “rusty” joints, stiffness, get, Anuric (double strength) at the drug store. Thia is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid and was discovered by Dr. Pierce of Invalids’ Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. If your druggist does not keep it send 10 cents to Dr. Fierce for trial package and you will find that it is many times more potent than lithia and that it dissolves unc acid as hot water does sugar.

BETTER M CAIiEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets are a Harmless Substitute. Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets—the substitute for calomel — are a mild but sure , axative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards’determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bed after effects. They don’t injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take bol l of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense cf the teeth? Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. iidwards’ Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, “dullness” and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. E” .arc’ ’, Olive Tablets when you feel "ioggy” and “heavy.” Note how they “clear” clouded brain and how they “perk up” the spirits. 10c and 25c a box.
