Stop the habit now before it’s too late It’s a simple process to rid yourself of the tobacco habit in any form. Just go to any up-to-date drug store and get some Nicotol tablets; take them as directed and lo; the pernicious habit quickly vanishes. Druggists refund the money if they tail. Be sure to read large and interesting announcement by Doctor Connor soon to appear in this paper. It tells of the danger of nicotine poisoning and how to avoid it.

SOUVENIR BANKS Banks Made From Hand Grenades Used in War Will be Given Out TO SCHOOL CHILDREN Those Willing to Save and Help Their Government Will Receive One. Indianapolis. July 18. —Indiana school children will obtain hand grenade banks through the banks in their respective cities, according to announcement todijy by Robert E. Springsteen. Director of the Indiana War Savings Committee. In making this announcement, Mr. Springsteen made public a statement by the War Savings organization of the Seventh Federal Reserve District, as follows: "The hand grenade is the highest modern development of a tijne-hon-oren weapon. The war department owned 15,000,000 when the armistice was signed. Some of these are now ; available through the savings divis- ! ion of the treasury department for ; I distribution to school children as savJ, ings banks to encourage the formI ing of habits of thrift. ; “These hand grenade savings I banks are real hand grenades with [ the percussian caps and high explos- ' ives removed. They are, with the ; exception of the money slot, external- ;' ly the same as those the Sammies us!l ed to clean out crooks and bends in 1 captured trenches, enemy dug-outs and machine gun nests. A live hand grenade was not dangerous until the ' ring and pin has been withdrawn which freed the trigger that started a percussion rap. resulting in a terrific explosion within three or five [ | seconds. The small squares of steel thrown by the explosion were deadly within radius of 40 or 50 feet. Every child or grown-up will want one of these souvenirs of the world I war. Only those who are willing to ' save and help their government can ; i have them, as the War Savings Or--11 ganization is the sole distributor in ' the Seventh Federal Reserve District and we are distributing them through /“banks to School children under a qni- • rfo plan, the conditions of which are I as follows: ; | I—-One grenade is to be loaned by the bank to any child under seven- ; 1 teen years of age signing the Thrift : agreement. ; | 2 —lt is to be opened by the bank, when presented by the child, and Thrift or War Savings stamps given in exchange for the contents.3—lt will become the property of i the child as soon as he has thus pur-

LEE HOWE. CO.. Decatur, Ind. Our reputation for fair dealing and reliable goods, coupled with the De Laval record of service and durability, has made the De Laval Cream Separator the leader in this community. TH E creameryman knows which separator skims cleanest, costs the least to keep ip good working order, and lasts the longest. He has to know. The wrong separator might easily mean a loss to him of several thousand dollars a year. /98%xM\ f Separators used\ fin the World's ’ kCreamerjEs are J Al j) j T-AVATS / ;l , They cant tool the * creameryman That’s why 98% of all & the separators used in the wortd’t. creameries and - nuln plants are De Lavals.

chased through the bank one or more War Savings Stamps, (maturity value* | $5.00 each), children under 10 being required to buy one War Savings "stamp and those over 10 two stamps.l 4 -Tlie bank is to fill out and give l the child at the end of the vacation J period, (if a school child), a certifi- ' cate of his summer savings in order that he may present same to his teacher and get credit therefor in the I War Savings society not# or hereafter organized in his grade. s—ls the bank so desires, it may ask the children who earn these souvenirs to write essays on “How 1 Won My Hand Grenade,’’ offering such essay prizes and publishing such essays as it desires. The War Savings Organization requests copy of the essay winning first honorrs in case your bank conducts a contest. (5 —After the schools have reopened and the children have been supplied, the hand grenade banks may be given to anyone over 17 years of age who purchases three or more War Savings Stamps. The Federal Reserve District officials are writing to every bank in the state, pointing out the advertising avlue to the banks in issuing the hand grenades, The bank will be permitted to have a metal tag bear-' ing its name attached to each hand grenade bank. Mr. Springsteen said that it is his belief that at least 50.0000 school children of Indiana will receive this little hand grenade savings bank. He based his opinion on the large number of children that pledged themselves to their school teachers that they would save during the summer. DROVE YOUTH TO SARCASM’ Foolish Question, Number Elever Thousand, Too Much to Endure Under the Circumstances. The young cy- ///*■ ciist was fißliting ' j'■ // hard against « /ijSILX strong head wind, ''jKfeW and wondering wli a t unhappy ZrjgyA.•'/ thought had, Vi prompted him to venture so far * away from the school. It was getting darker every minute, and. tc crown bis misery, rain began to fall. 1 Soon the rain came down in Its best ' style, and the poor fellow got wet to i the skin. Then a piece of glass laid t his tire open. With a moan lie flung 1 himself from the saddle, and com . menced to repair the damage. , Presently there approached from the opposite direction a benevolent old gentleman. Gazing at the upturned bicycle, the perspiring youth, and the repairing outfit which be had dropped in the mud. he inquired: “Had a puncture, my friend?” The boy looked up. and swallowed his feelings with a huge gulp. “No, sir.” he replied, with a magnificent effort at sarcasm. “I’m just changing the air in the tires. The other lot's worn out, you know!” ' ——• The Kiss of Freedom. A bright young blood in the husi ears or lancers has probably no great objection to being fervently embraced by an equally bright and beautiful j damsel, says “A Londoner” in the Evening Standard. Rut in our advance to the Rhine lie liad to face other perils. The cavalry were the storm troops in tills new adventure, and were apparently a good deal embarrassed by the osculatory fervor of their reception. As one of those who were first in Namur writes: “Being mounted, I got off fairly light at first, and even later ■ managed to stave off all but the hard!- ' est mademoiselles by warmly shaking hands. But an old man who had not shaved for days or washed for months got me at last, and implanted an extraordinarily fervent kiss on each | cheek. Hope the moving-picture fel- ‘ low wasn’t handy.” I — Where Is Teschen? This Is the latest breakfast-tnhle problem. Although the town has figured prominently in European history at various times for over a century, Lloyd George had to confess, when it was mentioned at the peace conference, that he did not know exactly where it was situated. Nor was he alone in his lack of knowledge. It is doubtful if one person in fifty would he able to give you any information about the town. And yet it was once the scene of a ' great peace conference —that of 1779, when Vergennes, the foreign minister of France, arranged tile peace of Teschen, thereby avoiding a great European war, and also, in ail probability. securing the independence <rf the United States. Right Pivot. A darky was unloading horses and i When he had the halter hanks of six i horses, he started up the road toward I camp and the stables. Just before en- I tering camp the road' turned sharply ' to the right; in fact, it made a right angle with its previous course. At this point the darky with his six . ha.ter hanks experienced some GiffiA culty in getting all the horses to make the turn and he was heard to shout- “ Here, what’s the matter with you all? Don’t you all Ljnow how to make ? a turn to da right? Number one pivot! Pivot dar on de right.”—Pittsburgh K Chronicle-Telegraph.

i “ o The — o Scrap Book EMPLOYING OLD WINDMILLS Landmarks of Cape Cod Used, as in Days of Long Ago, to Grind the Golden Grain. The windmills of Cape Cod are coming into their own again. Some of the mills, which closely resemble those of Holland, were built more than 150 years ago. At that time they were used to grind grain, and it is the high price of grain that brings them to a new life. In the early '7o's the mills did their duty in pumping salt water from the sea up into large vats, where the salt was scraped from the boards after the water evaporated. Not long after a new process of making salt was discovered and the salt industry of Cape Cod declined. Some of the mills were demolished. Some were left standing and within recent years many have been purI chased by summer residents to serve as ornaments on country estates. A few that have survived the severe Cape Cod easterly storms are awakening from their half a century sleep and will grind meal for farmers. — Snow Houses in the Arctic. A snow house is the most adaptable, of dwellings. If it gets .too warm either for the comfort of the inhabitants or because the roof begins to thaw, you can lower the temperature by enlarging the ventilating hole with your knife. If it gets too cold you ninke the hole smaller by stuffing a mitten into it. If the roof begins to thaw because If 1s mn«’e of Mocks that arc too thick yon send a man out with a long knife or machete, and he thins them down until the frost without neutralizes the heat from within and the thawing stops. But if you have made your roof too thin and hoar j frost begins to form from your breath ' and from file steam that rises from the cooking, then a man goes out with a shovel Instead of a knife and throws n little soft snow on the roof to blanket it from tlie excessive cold. —Vilhjal- , mur Stefansson in Harper’s Magazine. 3,000,000 Rats in Kansas. ( Some interesting figures about the rat population of Kansas have been compiled for the federal food administrator of that state. Working with figures of European rat surveys made just before the war it is estimated that the rat population of a city like Wichita is probably equal to the human population, while in the country districts there are at least ten rats for ev <-ry person. I A fair estimate would be 3,000,000 rats for Kansas, ouch requiring ?2 worth of food a year, a $6,000,000 loss. I Practically all the rats in Kansas, however, would have to work one year to effect the destruction represented by the careless handling of eggs in that state.—Scientific American.
