Well, that is the way it has been with dollars, for the past few yoars. They've had big holes in them. When you took them to the store to spend them, they lost half their value. For several years, it has seemed a though it took two or three times as many lollars to buy things as it did before the war. But Uncle Sam's dollars have been undergoing health building treatment for many months. I he dollar is growing solid and strong again. We can't say that it is as good as dollars were before the war; but it is a vastly better dollar than it was a year ago.

.And today the dollar is better tiian it was last month better. :n so many ways than it was last v.eek if you spend it in our :-'orc for the remarkable offerings in our great May Drive for 20.000 New Customers. X hat a pram.! and -:nc-'i feeling it is to get your money's worth a ain. And now and here -that is exactly hat you do.

Novel Pistol. A FTnchnv&n has perfected tbe lnYentlon of a "poison pistol." If one la not permitted, to carry firearms, a poison pistol will do the work as efficiently. It is like an ordinary gun in appearance but without bullets or cartridges. The handle of the gm contains a poison gas fiuld. If the trigger is pressed a thin stream of the poison fluid shoots out and acts Instantly.

Quirks of Children' Mlnda. A correspondent informs us that 8 did not quite complete our story about the little girl whose version of the national anthem was "My country teases me." He wiys she followed it with "Arthur of liberty." He adds: "And a close second to this is the following Quotation from the 23d Psalm by another little miss. 'Surely the good Mrs. Murphy will follow tna all the days of my life.'" Drilling Glass. Make a solution of one otince of camphor, one and one-half ounces spirits of turpentine and three drams of ether. Keep the end of the drilling tool wet with this solution. After the point comes through to the other side, put the jrla"s In water find then proceed more slowly or drill from other side.

Fair Play. ITeaven helps those who help themselves provided they do not help themselves at others' expense. Present conditions are largely the result of men helping themselves at the expense of other men. Whether In business or employment, play fair.

Pearls and Ruble. "Pearl" is thought by some writers to come from the Latip plru!a," meaning "a little pear." Pecans so many fine pearls were pear-shaped. "Ruby" is thought to have been socalled from "ruber," the Latin for "red." but It may be that the word "ruber," meaning red, ivas derived from the name of tbe ruby.

Howling Dogs Appreciated. Persians love dogs because they ar supposed to lie awoke nights and drive away the demons that wait for the roi;1s of the dend: so the more the d 'g howls at night the surer he Is t defeat the demons and the more h Is appreciated by his owner.

Too Much Strain. Edward was tobj to remain after school and sit quietly for ten minutes and think. After sitting quietly for five minutes he snid: "Please, may I go home now? It hurts my brad to think."

Eyes of Night Birds Large. The eyes of the birds that fly by Dijrht nre usually nearly double the size of those that go abroad by dayr
