GAS EXPERT HAS FAITH IN GAS AS WEAPON OF WAR German Chemist Declares Natiohs Will Not Abandon Its Use. EXPERIENCE IN FRANCE BERLIN, Sept. 27.—N0 cation Is ready to abandon poison gas as a ■war -weapon, according to an exclusive statement obtained today from Prof. Wirtr Haber, inventor of the Oppau Hydrogen Extraction process and developer of poison gas used In the World War. “No nation,” Professor Haber said, “-will renounce the use of deadly gas in •warfare, because the possibilities of further mechanical developments for making slaughter on a wholesale plan are almost exhausted while there are still many new chemical possibilities for creating widespread death. FRENCH FIRST USED POISON GAS. “Poison gas was first used against human beings by French police in fighting the notorious 'Bonnot’ gang -of apaches who had headquarters at Choisv-Leroi. At the beginning of the World War, the press was filled with reports of remarkable results obtained by the French engineer named Turpin in developing a deadly gas. German military authorities were most nervous. “The first months of the war both the Germans and the French used gas. but It had no noticeable effect upon the opposing troops. “I suggested poison gas had to be used In great volume; otherwise it was valueless. Germany had not -runs enough for firing gas projectiles, and so. therefore, relied upon nature and used the wind. I had the greatest difficulty in Inducing the general staff to adopt my plan. “Had the German general staff prepared a gas attack on a ve.y large scale, Instead of experimenting, ns at Tpres, Germany would have won the war. As It was, the allies, being fnnvarned by poison gas possibilities in the Ypres defeat, were enabled to take counter measures. BRITISH MADE MISTAKE WITH TANKS. “The British made the same mistake as regards land tanks. The British employed these on a 6mall scale at first, at Cambral, and won a small, temporary victory. But had they waited until thousands of tanks were available, the progress of the war would have had a different story. Xs It was, the Germans ■were enaoled to take counter-measures. ‘A new weapon always wins out in war if it has merit, g hen the world war closed, 27 per cent of all German munitions were poison gas munitions. “Germany had anew gas that was to be tried out about the time the armistice was signed. This gas caused boils to form on soldiers, thus disabling them from service. “On the whole, I do not think the nse of poison gas to be any more cruel than other war weapons. I'olson gas caused fewer deaths than bullets." Forced to Bathe by Soap Advertisements /CHICAGO. Pent. 27.—Here’s the "low (flown’’ on bathing. Charles Henry Mackintosh, an advertising expert, blames it all on soap advertising. Says Charles: “Only a short time ago we bathed once a week and generally on Saturday. We even skipped once in a while. Then came a flood of advertising by snap manufacturers until we were persuaded we weren’t Christians unless we took a dally bath. We were advertised into it. Advertising ought to raise the standard of living.”

Says His Prescription Has Powerful influence Over Rheumatism Mr. James H. Allen suffered for years with rheumatism. llanr times this terrible disease left him helpless and unable to work. He finally decided, after years of ceaseless study, that no ons can be free from rheumatism until the accumulated impurities, commonly called urio acid deposits, were dissolved in the joints and muscles and expelled from the body. With this idea la mind he consulted physicians, made experiments and finally compounded a prescription that Quickly and completely banished every sign and symptom of rheumatism from his system. He freely gave his disco very to others who took It, with what might be called marvelous success. After years of urgging he decided to let sufferers everywhere know about his discovery through the newspapers.

IN THE REALM WHERE WOMAN REIGNS

Keeping House With the Hoopers [The Hoopers, an average American family of five, living in a suburban town, on a limited income, will tell the readers of the Daily Times how the many present-day problems of the home are solved by working on the budget that Mrs. Hooper has evolved and found practical. Follow them daily In an Interesting review of their home life and learn to meet the conditions of the high cost of living with them.] TUESDAY. That Betty was holding her own was all that the doctor would say when he came downstairs after bis morning visit, and with that Mr. Hooper and the desolate grandmother and Helen and Roger had to be content. Mr. Hooper had begged permission to go upstairs and relieve his wife, but the doctor had gruffly refused. She was doing very well. She didn’t need him and it was not time to risk disturbing Betty by having another person in the room. With this also Mr. Hooper had to be content, though he was nearly out of his mind with anxiety and his Inability to do anything to help. He reasoned that Mrs. Hooper's position was much better than his in this terrible crisis: at least she had the Joy and satisfaction of being able to do something for the baby. No matter how futile it all might be in the matter of Betty's ultimate recovery, Mrs. Hooper could keep herself occupied every moment carrying out the doctor's orders between his visits, which he was now making four times a day. Could he have but known if, Mrs. Hooper's grief and anxiety well nigh equaled his, for although she never left Betty's bedside, and followed every detail of the doctor’s Instructions for her relief, she realized how little sjie was really able to do to keep the little life from ebbing away, once the tide against their hnman efforts had set in. The child had a marvelous constitution, and- all the sane, sensible care and good nourishment she had received from her babyhood was giving her strength for the battle she was nowmaking for her life. The doctor recognized this and mentally gave Mis. Hooper credit for the reserve forco she had so intelligently storel up in the child's small tody. He could have told her that her care of her baby during the past five years was what was helping to pull her through, and not the medical skill nor the nursing she was giving her now, when the crisis of the fever was upon her. “I wish you’d come downstairs and help us with the washing machine, daddy.” requested nelen, timidly, as she followed him out on the front porch after breakfast. “It's awfully Interesting the way it works, and Roger doesn't want to heip me, and grandma has ail the other ■work to do.” “Why do you bother with any washing. Helen?” asked Mr. Hooper, looking at his small daughter in surprise. “Just pile it up in the wash bag and we'll send it to the laundry. I’ll telephone for some one to come for it; you can't do it." “Oh, yes we can, if you’ll help a little, father,” insisted Helen, “almost anyone can do the washing with an electric washing machine, and I know exactly how mother sorts the clothes and everything ” “But we mustn't spend so much money replied her father, reluctantly, “and besides it would be better to send the clothes to the laundry until your mother is able to attend to them again herself.” “Bu we mustn't spend so much money this week, father,” Helen went on. “I’m trying to keep account of everything for mother so she can put it in her book and I know grandma and I. are buying more things from the food money than we ought to, and if wo rvnd out the washing we won’t have enough housekeeping

DO you know that by tar the larger number of the common ailments of women are not surgical ones; that is they are not caused by any serious displacement, tumor, growth, or other marked change ? DO you know that these common ailments produce symptoms that are very much like those caused by the more serious surgical conditions? DO you know that many women and young girls suffer needlessly from such ailments? More than that, they endanger their health by allowing their ailments to continue and develop into something serious. If treated early, that is, within a reasonable time after the first warning symptoms appear, serious conditions may often be averted. Therefore, at the first appearance of such symptoms as periodic pains, irregularities, irritability and nervousness, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound should be taken. It is prepared with accuracy and cleanliness from medicinal plants. It contains no narcotics nor poisonous drugs, and can be taken with perfect safety. The Vegetable Compound acts or th? conditions which bring about these symptoms in a gentle and efficient manner. The persistent use of it shows itself in the disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeable symptoms. In a word, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound acts as a natural restora. tive, relieving the present distress and preventing more serious trouble. Why not givo a fair trial to this medicine Lydia E.

PUS3 IN BOOTS JR. * ...... , David Cory " One day as little Puss Junior was walking around the garden of my Lord of Carabas he heard n tiny voice say: “Tell nao a' story, Puss Junior, dear, Os where you have been for over a year. I know yon have travelled by mountain and plain, On foot and horseback and swift aeroplane." “Who are yon?" asked Pass, for he couldn't see anybody, although he looked all around. “I'm the little mouse that lives In the pantry,” replied the tiny voice, and then a little mouse crept out from • bend a tree and stood on her hind logs right in front of Puss Junior. 1 think she was very brave, for mice are dreadfully afraid of cats, you know. “Goodness me!” said Puss, “if I should start to tell you about my travels it would take me maybe a year. Haven't you something interesting to show me?” “I have indeed,” replied the little mouse. “Come with me.” So Puss foU lowed her across the garden until they came to the royal stables. But they didn’t go In the big door. Oh, my, no! The little mouse went around to the rear and tapped three times on a little door. And when it opened Puss saw another mouse, much older than his small frie®d, with a cap on his head. “This Is Puss Junior," said the little mouse, and then the gray-haired mouse said: "1 am very glad to meet you. Sir Kitten. Como in.” Well, when Puss entered he saw a strange sort of a place. Os course, he thought It would be the mouse's home; but it vasn't. It was a Utile railway train, and as soon as Puss was aboard the whistle blew and away it went, cnoo! chno! and ding, dong! Just like the trains von and I have ridden on. By and by a little mouse, dressed Just like a conductor, came through the train and said, “Next stop, Jlousevillel” “That’s where we get off." said Puss Junior's little friend. And then she looked in hor vanity hag and took out a little mirror and smoothed her hair, and then tha train stopped. So she and Tuss got out. "Here is our coach." she said. And, sure enough, standing close to the platform n.is a pretty little bla-’k coach with ft-nr mice for horses and a mouse coachman. So she and Puss got In and drove away, and by and by they came to a little red house by a green wood. “Whoa!” said the coaenman. and the footinnn Jumped down from his seat in the back and opened the door for Puss and the little mouse, and then the front door of the little house opened aud Russ saw his eld friend, the Mouso that Kan up the dock. “Dlckory, dlckery dock; Tiekery, tickery toek; The train was on time. Hip, hip hooray, I-’or to-morrow you now Is Xmas Day.” And then Pubs heard a clock strike “one. two, three!” and In the next story you shall hear what happened after that —Copyright, 1921. by David Cory.
