SUBMARINE SHIPS MAY CARRY MILK TO GERMAN BABIED

That submarine ' merchantmen may carry milk from the United States to the babies of Germany and Austria is a plan declared feasible by Lieutenant Commander Craft of the New York Navy Yard to the Citizens committee for food shipments. Members of ' St. John's congregation who are responding to an ap- : peal for. contributions to supply the infants of the Central Powers . with milk, will be Interested in the statement of Commander Craft. "If the submarine "were constructed for the purpose," said Lieutenant Commander Craft, "there is no scientific reason why it could not make a voyage across the Atlantic with a cargo. ': The idea of a commercial submarine for blockade running is new, but practicable." Dr. Edmund VonMach, executive chairman, declared the committee was determined to get milk Into Germany. Austria-Hungary and Russian Poland even if a submarine had to be built for that purpose.

TWO BANKS PROSPER NEW PARIS, Ohio, Jan. 18 During 1915 the Comptroller of Currency demanded six statements from the National banks of the United States, the largest number ever called for in a twelve month period. The one just issued by the First National bank of New Paris, covering December 31, 1915, shows' the institution to be in flourishing condition, the best statement of the six. Both the Farmers' Banking Co., and the First National are in excellent condition, and New Paris can well be proud of the index to the - financial affairs of the community as shown by her two sound money fountains. m m ws m m a a fa

Helen and Warren Series; Story of Their Married Life

"But we can t keep a girl that's dishonest!" Warren's only answer was an indifferent shrug as he flipped the ashes from his cigar to the edge of bis salad plate. "And the brazen way she denied it!" persisted Helen indignantly. "She kept saying it was hers! I had to get the bolt and show her where she'd cut It off before she'd admit she'd taken it." "Oh, well, what's a few ribbons?" "If she takes ribbons, she'll take other things. I'll always feel I can't trust " Then as Emma entered with the coffee: "Did you have a busy day, dear? Many people n?M Emma's usually placid face was slightly flushed. Had she been listening? Helen waited until they were in the library, out of the reach of possible eavesdropping, then she went on heatedly. "It's the feeling tha she goes through my things when I'm out that's what makes me wild! That ribbon was in a box way in the back of the drawer she had to go through everything to find it" "Lock your door." "Oh. I can't lock up things! I won't have a girl I can't trust!" "Well, it's up to you. Fire her if you want o but she's an A-l cook." And, drawing up a chair for his feet, Warren settled back with the paper. Helen took up the last Woman's Journal and turned to "The War's Influence on Early Spring FashioT i." "Many of the new coats sh a military tendency in both cut and finish. Braids and brass buttons are nv in favor, and there is a marked . . ." Her mind passed unmeaningly over' the words. She was thinking of some 1 narrow lace in the same drawer with that ribbon and all tho sachet she had brought home from London! Throwing down the magazine, Helen ran into her room and got out the lace. There was so much of it, several yards might have been cut off; she could not tell. But the sachet was all there four unopened bottles, the one on her dresser and one she had given Carrie. While she had these things out, Helen started to straighten her drawer; her mind still revolving around the problem of Emma. "What's going on in there?" called Warren complainingly, who, although buried in his paper, always wanted her with him in the evening. "In just a minute, dear; I'm putting away some things." Before going back to the library, Helen went out to the kitchen to speak about the corn muffins for breakfast. But Emma was not there. She had hurried through her dishes and was gone probably to the "movvies" with Mrs. Carson's maid. The kitchen was dark, but in Emma's room the light was still burning. As Helen went in to turn it off, she glanced about disapprovingly. The dusty bureau was litteredwrth hairpins, curlers .and picture postcards One of the drawers was half open, giving, a glimpse of the confusion .wjthin. A soiled corset and some old slippers were on the window sill. Helen stood with her hand raised to switch off the light, struggling with a sudden impulse to look through Emma's things. She had always respected the privacy of a girl's room, but Emmad had taken that ribbon and she had a right to know if she had taken anything else. Hesitatingly she turned to the dresser and opened the top drawer. Underneath the tangle of soiled handkerchiefs, collars and ribbons, Helen was amazed to find a number of things she had thrown away a broken comb, a velvet rose, an empty perfume bottle and some old white gloves. Why had she saved those worthless things? It could hardly be called disSnapshots of The regular meeting of the Jefferson Township Trustees was not held last week out of courtesy to Trustee Elwood Coblentz, whose aged father was buried Monday afternoon Asst. State Fire Marshall John J. Baker of Dayton, spent a day here investigating the burning of the Baumgardner livery barn, and also looking after a number of old buildings, designated as fire traps, which will likely be condemned.

honest, but it showed a desire tot

hoard that Helen did not like. In the next drawer were an old silk petticoat and a lace yoke that only last week she had wrapped in a bundle and put on the dumb waiter. So Emma had unwrapped the bundle and taken them out! Helen turned from the bureau to the narrow closet. As she opened the door an old straw hat of Warren's tumbled down from the upper shelf. What could the girl want with that? A hasty search disclosed nothing else. With a thorough distaste for the work, Helen shut the closet door, but a roll of clothes kept it from latching. As she lifted the bundle to push it back underneath, in a torn bit of tissue paper, gleamed something pink and satiny. Helen caught it up. It was over two yards of wide ribbon enough to run in a skirt. The next moment she was in the library, shaking the ribbon at Warren with an excited, vehement "This settles it! She'll have to go! Look what I found in her room!" "Eh, what's that?" irascibly, glaring over his paper. ' "I knew she took a lot of narrow ribbon but I didn't know she took this! She had it hidden in the bottom of her closet! Now do you want me to keep her?" "Who said I wanted you to keep her? All I want is to be left alone!" Wrought up to a feverish indignation, Helen could hardly wait until Emma returned. She would tell her tonight that when her month was up she would have to go. Why, the girl was brazen absolutely brazen. And Bhe had come with a reference for honesty! That showed how little a reference meant. Helen was walking excitedly up and down. "You know what I m going to do? " temptuously, again confronting Warren. "I'm going to call up Emma's reference right now and ask what she meant by saying the girl was honest! " "Go ahead! Whoop It up!" with eggravating unconcern. A hurried search through her desk, and Helen found the address Mrs. Lewison, Lenox 8174. A moment later she had Mrs. Lewison on the 'phone. "This is. Mrs. Curtis! I'd like to speak to you about a maid, Emma Anderson. I believe she had a reference from you?" "Yes, I gave her a reference," in a questioning voice. "And I think you said she was honest. Well, I I'm sorry to say I haven't found her so that is in small things 99 "Was it ribbons?" laughingly. "Why how did you know?" "That was Emma's weakness. She would take ribbons to run in her underwear but as long as she was with me she never took anything else." "Then you think she can be trusted with the silver and other" Absolutely. She was"hert'bver year and I trusted her with everything. I consider her a very good girl, and I didn't hesitate to give her a reference. You know most of them have worse faults than " ,"Yes, I know," murmured Helen, "only I wanted to be sure." When she hung up the receiver she turned to Warren with a puzzled, "Dear, she says it's only ribbons! The girl has a mania for ribbons, but she's really honest in every other way." "Why in blazes don't you give her some ribbon if that's all she wants." "But she was so untruthful about it," unheedingly. "She insisted the ribbon was hers!" Then, with sudden intensity, "Now I know what I'll do! I'll give her another chance. I'll put this piece back, and when she comes in I'll ask her if she's sure she returned it all." With deliberate care Helen put the New Paris between January 1st and 10th. amounted to $563.. A handsome new illuminated sign has appeared in front of the new hardware store of J. W.

ribbon back under the bundle of clothes in Emma's closet, then left the hall door open so she could hear her come in. It was ten now, and she rarely stayed out after half past. While she waited, Helen rehearsed just what she would say. She would not seem angry or excited, but if Emma insisted that there was no more ribbon in her room, then she would go straight to her closet and lift up the bundle of clothes. With a grim satisfaction she pictured this scene and the girl's confusion. At last came the sound of a closing door Emma had come In. Resolutely Helen went out to her room. At the door she hesitated. The transom was open, and she could hear the girl humming, and talking to Pussy Purr Mew. "Is Pussy hungry?" A faint, answering "mew." "Does Pussy want some milk?" Helen drew back into the dark as Emma's door opened with a flood of light. She was going out to the kitchen for the milk, still talking to Pussy Purr Mew in her cooing, girlish way. Standing irresolutely in the darkened dining room, Helen thought c what Mrs. Lewison had said that the girl was young and vain and had a weakness for ribbons, but that she was absolutely honest about everything else. Somehow Helen's indignation and resentment were waning. She thought, too, of the trouble and worry of breaking in another girl, who might have worse faults and more of them. Might it not be easier to simply lock up her ribbons and say nothing? Another moment of indecision, and Helen noiselessly left the dining room. "Well, how about it?" demanded Warren, when she came back and took up the magazine with an effacing, uncommunicative air, "Did she own up?" "I didn't ask her. I I thought I'd let it go this time." "Petered out, eh? Kicked up a dust about nothing? Give the girl some ribbon, I tell you. if that's all she wants. Can't expect a paragon for five a week. Where's the other part of this paper?"

A Hint to Mothers of Growing Children

A Mild Laxative at Regular Intervals Will Prevent Constipation. A vital point 'upon which all schools of medicine seem to agree is that normal regularity of the bowels is an essential to good health. The importance of this is impressed particularly on mothers of growing children. A very valuable remedy that should be kept in every home for use as occasion arises Is Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a compound of simple laxative herbs that has been prescribed by Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Montlcello, 111., for more than twenty-five years, and which can now be obtained in any well stocked drug store for fifty cents a bottle. In a recent letter to Dr. Caldwell, Mrs. H. C. Turner, 844 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y., says, "I bought a bottle of Dr. Caldwell's syrup Pepsin for my baby, Roland Lee Turner, and find it works just like you said it would. It Is fine for the stomach and bowels." A bottle of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pep-

CARPENTER OPPOSES FLOUR LAW CHANGE WASHINGTON, January 18. Flour millers and manufacturers of corn products are joining issues in what promises to be an animated controversy over the repeal of "the mixed flour law." The manufacturers of products made from corn take the position that this law should be repealed. Wheat flour millers, on the other ha'hd. declare that to repeal the mixed flour law would invite a repetition of the conditions that existed prior to 1898, when the mixed flour law was passed, and the wheat flour millers are a unit against the repeal or modification of the law. Charles Carpenter declared today his firm was in sympathy with the flour millers who do not see the advisability in changing the law. Aided by a favorable 'wind, which blew persistently for several days, the cotton boll weevil in Georgia made an advance of 100 miles in a few weeks, whereas its progress under normal conditions has been fifty miles a year.
