EPOSTOFFICE DEFICIT ACCOUNTED FOR Helen was the little daughter of a fthirfty woman who always took ad vantage of bargain sales. One day the little girl rushed home j .from the postottice and said to her 1 ■mother: "Mamma, you can get a five dollar "money order at the postottice for five (cents!"— The Christian Herald. THE TORPEDO CAR Although the use of modern artil- j Beiy has worked a revolution in bat tlep ractice, preparing the way for an | Infantry charge entails a staggering ■ -ost. For that reason inventors have tried and indeed still are trying, to substitute some agency which will re place the big guns and do their work (Cheaper but no less efficiently. The torpedo car vividly pictured I 'ln- the Popular Science Monthly is | tea id to be such an agency. It con sists of a torpedo carrying several j hundred pounds of high explosive ! Imounted on a chassis. It may be pro jpelled either by gas. steam, com pressed air or a storage battery adn j lelectric motor, all depending on its | (contemplated use and the estimated ! trange of action. The car is guided nnd fired by | jmeans of cables and wires in the hands i tof the attacking party. The control i cable is attached to a valve in the ■ Isupply pipe connecting the cylinders j of the engine with the boiler, operat ing the speed of the car. The charge ! Is lired by means of a wire attached j !to the trigger. If it is found that the torpedo can- | mot reach the . enemy because of J rough ground, the control cable may he used to close the valve and to Kiraw the machine back to the trench, for aiming it in a new direction. A "wiidlass is provided for this purpose. ISpiked wheels insure traction. . „„., c —"" " " Children's Patent Canvas Hutton ai / Colt Button Shoe* Shoes; Before h —Goodyear welts.

MAY LEND BILL A.OOO , In the event of war being: declared between the I'nited States and Ger many, it is said to be the present plan of the Administration to chiefly aid the Allies in a financial sense. It is said that England and France would much I prefer aid of this character rather than the raising of an army, which could not be completed for a year or more. Steps are being taken, it is said, to have Congress authorize the President, should war be declared, to use from | A CLEAN SWEEP FOU THE TEETH Practically, the tooth-brush is a miniature scrubbing brush. It works well enough in cleaning the surfaces , of the teeth. But in cleaning the spaces i between them —the very parts that need cleaning most —it is deficient, i Food will collect between the teeth j before it will collect anywhere else. If not removed it starts to decay. A rotary tooth brush described in the Popular Science Monthly cleans out the crevices between the teeth as , well as the tooth surfaces. The brush i is guided with one hand and turned with the other. The metal guard pre- . vents the bristles from touching the i inside of the mouth. The turning 1 bristles rotate parallel to the crevices, ' some scrubbing the surface of the teeth and others penetrating into the i crevices. 1 one to Ave billion dollars in assisting the enemies of Germany to stamp out her war upon the commerce of the. seas.

HOW A BOY STARTED PINEAPPLE INDUSTRY Refore the I'nited States acsquired them the Hawaiian Islands were fa mous chiefly for their natives and their leper colony. There were no special cultivation of the soil, no trade and no commercial industries of value. But since the annexation to the Unit ed States in. 1900, American enthusi asm and American progresslveness have invaded the land, says the Pop ular Science Monthly. The pineapple industry is one of the best illustra tions of the result of this American izing. It was started almost by chuNi by a comparatively unedu cated, inexperienced New England lad, the son of a clergyman. He chose to locate in Hawaii on account of its wonderful climate, and finding that the pineapples were especially luscious and that they grew quickly and abun dantly, he persuaded his father to se cure a few thousand dollars for him to start him in the pineapple-raising business. It was a veritable get-rich quick scheme. It has netted fortunes to each one of those friendly parish - 1 ioners who advanced money. KIOHT RECRUITS FOR COMPANY New Cumberland. Pa., March 30.
