Save first Is as good as a young man'ß motto as safety first.

This is perhaps the,' best season of the year in which not to eat toadstools. Talk Is cheap, but the nearly loat art of conversation should be held valuable. Milliners seem to keep almost as far in advance of the seasons as do automobile makers. The meanest man Is In the limelight gain. He is a burglar who carried off a bald man's wig. It is announced that tho allies are bombarding Altchetepe. Sounds as if they had strayed into Mexico. Doubtless the commander of the submarine that chased the St. Paul thought he was the mayor of Minneapolis. Having discovered an unknown land in the Arctic, will Stefansson now be able to find some use that can be made of it? China's civilization has met with a setback Girls over there are becoming addicted to the American gumchewing habit. A British physician says that country may have to ask us for doctors. The world is already turning to America to satisfy all its needs. This may be an enlightened age, but somehow or other the loaded automobile and the speeding railway train still manage to ;get together. Pajamas have been abandoned in Ihe navy because the sailors persisted in using them for overalls. It's hard to teach an old sea dog new tricks. We can never expect to see lowquartered shoes selling at reasonable prices if this bootlegging business must keep up. The leather runs short One-half of the world's best bristles are said to be supplied by the Russians, but somebody seems to have been brushing 'em the wrong way of late. On the other hand, the man who made up his mind never to quarrel with fashion's vagaries is having a desperate, struggle with his self-control. Now that Luther Burbank has become a eugenics advocate, maybe he can explain how it is that peaches and lemons often are raised on tho same family tree. An Omaha drug store was easily held up because the proprietor had his revolver locked in the safe, which proves that a safe is not the safest place to keep a gun. An iron or Victoria cross is -all right enough, but it does not loom up to the wearer as being any more imiaprtant than the fraternity pins on the 1915 crop of freshmen. Nowadays the war correspondent who hasn't risked his neck at least two or three times in an aeroplane can hardly be said to have qualified for his arduous calling. It is said the cost of running the motor cars of the United States amounts to $7.30 per capita per annum. Here's where we saddle a little outgo per capita on somebody else. Metals aro so valuable in Europe that the junk dealer has become a person of considerable importance. A California man wants a divorce because his wife voted him out of a job. This seems to be one of the drawbacks to voraar suffrage that was not foreseen by the opponents of the cause. Wire cages for stenographers is the serious suggestion of an ardent female reformer who fears they sometimes flirt with their employers. The id ea! Someone will declare for muzzles next. The only philosophy that can sustain you is. work hard, eat as little as you can get along on, and then, when misfortune nails you, keep the cuss words down, and give the world the horse laugh. An apple tree in Oregon has been discovered bearing flowers and fruits at the same time. Here is a hint to Kuther Burbank on the arboreal conservation of energy and its effects on a stimulated crop War is said to be popularizing whiskers but it is really an exorbitant price to pay for establishing whiskers. Because of the advance made by the sport shirt this summer, tho timorous man trembles, fearing that next summer men will wear skirts. Cooking experts In New York have decided that It is perversive oi good taste to cook ham with champagne This ought to enable a considerable reduction In the cost of living m the poorer sections.

Paris admits this loss, but declares everywhere else the Germans were repulsed. Two desperate German attacks upon the village of Tahure are reported by the French to have been beaten back with terrific losses.

ence with an organism unfitted for th trial of strength, and when it is over her system has received a shock from which it is hard to recover. Following right upon this comes the nervous strain of caring for the child, and a distinct change in the mother results. There is nothing more charming than a happy and healthy mother cf children, and indeed child-birth 'under the right conditions need be no hazard to health or beauty. The unexplainable thing is that, with all the evidence of shattered nerves and broken health resulting from an unprepared condition, and with ample time in which to prepare, women will persist m going blindly to the trial. Every woman at this time should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, a most valuable tonic and invigorator of the female organism. In many homes once childless there are now children because of the fact that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound makes women normal, healthv and stronp " LYülA E PJNKHva If yon want special advice irrito to Lydia E. Pinlrliam Medicine Co. (confidential) Lynn, Mass.

In a game in which he officiated at the Polo grounds early in the season, as Chief Meyers, the Indian catcher for New York, came to bat, certain of the Boston players sitting on their bench began to guy the brawny red man. In an instant the umpire had left his place behind the catcher and was running toward the visitors' bombproof. "Cut out them personalities!" he ordered. "Cut out them personalities!" As he turned away a high-pitched voice filtered out through the grandstand behind him, saying: ; "Cut out them grammar!" Saturday Evening Post. Cares Not for Riches. "John, John," whispered timid Mrs. Johones urgently, about 2 a. m. recently, "get up get up! There's a man in the house!" "Grup-p-ph!" replied John, sleepily. "Oh, John, do wake up! I can hear someone moving about downstairs' she went on, prodding the sleeper fiercely in the back with her elbow. "If you don't hurry he'll take all our silver!" "Better that he should take all our silver than that I should go downstairs and take all his 'lead,' my dear," replied John, firmly, as he removed his back out of the danger zone and settled down to his slumbers again.

At first I gavo hut little attention to them, but finally something in one of the advertisements made me conclude to try Postum. "I was very particular to have it prepared strictly according to directions, and used good, rich cream. It was very nice indeed, and about bedtime I said to the members of the family that I believed I felt better. One of them laughed and said, 'That's another of mother's notions,' but the notion has not left me yet. "I continued to improve right along after leaving oft coffee and taking Postum, and now after three years' use I feel so well that I am almost young again.
