"I suffered greatly from se vere pains in my back which often darted into my head I often became dizzy and had chills I was losing strength right along and felt poorly and mier able in every way.

The United States Govern meat offers a 110.000 life insurance policy without medical 'examina tion to any person m iti military or naval service at an average cost of 6 tq 7 a month. In the event of the death of the insured the Government pays out the pol icy in monthly installments that total up to $13 800. The insur ance can be maintained for live years after the declaration of p"ace. Nor is that all. To officers and enlisted men alike the Govern ment has promised compensation in the case of death or disability incurred in the line of duty, re gardless whether the man has taken out insurance with Uncle Sam or not. This compensation ranges from $20 to $75 a month to the man's wife, child or de pendent father or mother in the event of the man's death; and in case ot partial or total disability tbe compensation is in proportion to the degree of disability. So that while every good person wishes Uncle Sam would never have occasion to pay out a cent of insurance or compensation to his defenders, it is some consohtion to know that the dependents of thohe lads who may make the supreme sacrifice in this war will receive as much ' as $132 50 . month for twenty years am something every month there after. Fourth Liberty Loan. The campugn for the fourth Libert loan will open , Sal urday, September 28 and continue three weeks, ending October 19. In hxtng three weeks as the length of the campaign for the fourth loan, instead of the four weens as in previous loans, trea sury officials plan for a more in tensive campaign. A. shorter campaign, it was said, also wilt enable more business men to en list as workers. The date of the campaign was announced at this time that in order to allow campaign organ izations to prepare for the Hale ol bonds and to prevent tbe plan ningof other campaigns which might interfere with the nota tion ol the loan. The amount of the loan will be $6,000,000 and the rate of inter est which the bonds will bear -1J per cent. Should the treasury decide soon to place on tbe mar ket certificates of indebtedness redeemable next June, when tax ers are paid tne amount of the loan may be reduced. BIO COVE TANNERY.

BOY (Conducted by Natlimul Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) AMERICAN BOY WORLD HOPE i Tho greatest service that con be done for their country by the boys iihH girls of the United States Is told by Hermann IIiiKedorn of the VlKlbmtes, the patriotic noddy that makes one think of the work of the Suns of Liber ty In the American Revolution. Mr, Jliigcdorn speaks to the youth of America through the Boy Scouts, us follows : "Boys nnd girls of Amerlen, you are ,the hope of the world I Why? Her tcause the world Is sick to death of. 'wur, and tho world knows thai kings jfnvor war nnd democracies abhor war; 'nnd becuuso the United States Is the; 'most powerful democracy In the world, itnd because, when Europe's present lenders ure dead, you, boys und girls of ten to seventeen, will be governing the United Stales, and therefore, if .you wish, leudlng the world) But you can't go on living as rashly nnd unconcernedly as you have- until today, If you Intend to fulfill that hope. The boys and girls of England could not win the light for democracy by continuing to dunce the fox trot In the tearooms of l'lccadllly. "Young America, ten to seventeen, for the present your work lies neither In the trencht's nor In the munition plants; but the world does ask you to Jump to your feet and do something! "Boy Scouts, you ure doing some thing. You are Jumping to attention all over this dear land of ours wher ever und whenever the rallcomcs for such service as boys can do. You have set up before yourselves n "rent stand ard. For the Scout law IsNhe law by which all Americans, young uud old, must live, If America Is ever to be the spler.dld land of liberty we want her to be; und It Is the law on which the fuv ture peuce of the world must rest." SCOUTS AS LITTLE BROTHERS. The plan of t,he Boy Scouts of Arner Icu to udopt u .."big brother" from umong the men who ure being ucccpt eed for government service Is being taken up all over the country. Each Boy Scout promises, us u representa tive of his big brother, to drop around to the soldier's house at least twice a week to see whether there is anything be can do for the family, especially if there Is no one in the home except old people. The Scout will undertake to curry ns'much cheer there as possible, as well as being on the lookout for some bit of service be can render to make things easier. He Is also going to see to It that his big soldier brother Is to be kept Informed us to (lie home news, Including the pi ogress of affairs In the baseball world n:id the minyr other Interesting things that a f might think of to write and the details of which might be overlooked by the older people. The soldier slmnld certainly grnsp this opportunity to get as a "little brother" one who will be Interested In ull bo Is doing uud to whom he can write ond from whom be can get the real news from home, such as how the Til (i .a l...itra .....I ,1... M..II... tf...vi7 .in.nn uil.l W 1111 l UIU IOItiH HrC saying und doing. f the soldier has no relatives that he can write to about his needs, the friendliness of the Boy Scout of America will do much to sup ply tho lack. SCOUTS WEAR HAT BADGE. Tho increased use of the khaki uni form by members of the United States .army, militia, home-defense leagues nnd other government organizations makes It desirable for tbe Hoy Scouts of America to avoid confusion by the similarity of such uniforms to those worn by Its own members. . Section of tho army reorganiza tion law specillcally excepts only the. Boy Scouts of America from the provi sions restricting to the members of tho United States army, navy und ma rine corps the right to wear uniforms peculiar to those branches of the gov ernment service or similar thereto. Al ready the war department is beginning to enforce this law regarding tho au thorized weurlng of such uniforms. In order that the Boy Scouts of America may be readily recognized at nny time In case they are needed for service. It bas been decided by nation ul headquarters, for the period of the war at least, to require all Scouts to wear their badge of rank at ull times, either on the emit or shirt, or better still weur a metal badge of rank on tbe front of the hat, us has been tho practice of the English Scouts sl.nco the dute of their organization. SCOUT ACTIVITIES. Every troop of Boy Scouts of Amer ica which has reported to national headquarters since the beginning of the Sco,yt garden movement, with tho slo gan, "Every Scout to Feed a Soldier," has a troop garden or Individual Scout garden. AH of the scholarships earned by boys at the Montclnlr (.V. J.) high school In 1017 W'ere taken by Scouts. The Montclnlr Scouts have been called' out over 400 times within the year for public service. Value of a 'High Aim."""" A glorious aim rencts in vitalizing ministry upon the entire being. It Is curative. A big holy aim is very hos tllo to the petty ailments of the mind, as It Is also very destructive of the mean diseases of tbe heart. And through a healthier mind and henrt we give ourselves a chance, of more ex uberant physical health. IVrhaps It Is true, In a larger wny than we usually think, that "Hn shall quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwell cth In you." BE FAIR TO DRAFT MEN. There seems to be n sentiment In s-vne business circles that a man sub ject to draft Is a marked man and one not to be considered la applica tions for employment. Notwithstand ing the war department authorities have ordered ull men of draft age to become usefully employed, frequently advertisements In the papers for help state specillcally that men of draft ago need not upply. When tho govern ment was urging upon the people the selective service net us the most demo cratic nnd the fairest way for raising nn nrmy It was generally understood that no odium attached to the man who Waited until the government called him to the particular service for which bo was needed, says Houston Tost. It was tho theory, ut least, advanced that there should ho no difference be tween the volunteer und the draft man, nnd in the actions of the government that spirit seems to have been abund antly carried out, for the draft men In the camps have been well treated, and If there have been nny favors shown at all by military authorities they have been toward draft men. In spite of this some employers apparent ly place the convenience of their busi ness first and boldly announce that men of draft age ore not wanted, for fear of nn early call inconveniencing its labor arrangement If alt employ ers took this view n good many men subject to draft would starve to denth while waiting for the government to call them.' In calling tho attention of the Vati can to the bad faith of Germany, which requested through the Tope that the French und British refrain from bom barding Cologne on Corpus Christ i Day and then shelled Burls, the Brit ish government give this sharp warn ing: "The action of the Hermans will not be forgotten in the event that any similar appeal Is mado in the future." For treachery so base there can be no adequate answer except hursb re prisals. Only one-tenth of 1 ier cent of the American soldiers in France suffer from social diseases, and the low per centage constitutes the nrmy "tho cleanest In the world." Is tho percent ugo for civilian life anywhere near us smull? One by one the lying ru mors about the character of American manhood und womanhood In war serv ice abroad are being refuted by the plain, unvurnished truth. AI)or two Amertcun neijro soldier enrved up-twenty-four Gennnns with holo knives wliile fighting like deninnx, It Is not MirprlHlng to hear that Hun troops on the east front nrc iimtlnylntf rather than ro to France. The fight ers from America are Introducing a style of flKliting which Is evidently get ting on their nerves. A Chicago dancing muster prescribes saltatory exercise ns a cure for flat feet. Medical exnmincrs for the nrmy are not ns dogmatic as they used to bo on the subject of flat foot ns a disqual ification for military sen-ice. Still, tho Chicago "professor's" proscription will be cheerfully followed. A Texan advertised: "I will sell you two good mules for tho price of two good mules." Tho Memphis Com mercial Appeul thinks he was silly, but ho wasn't He was offering a squaro denl. How many people get more than one dozen eggs for the price of two dozen eggs? Tho alleged head of a family can make himself a rather satisfactory fa ther If he will ulways give his children their own wny. Fathers nre sure to have trouble when they undertake to reprove their snippy little darlings who have contracted a case of teen wisdom. Mother thinks she Is making n good point when she asks if you think It would hurt you to stay at homo ono ufternoon. Of course It wouldn't hurt you, but what Is the uso wasting ull that time? It Is evident that tho mountain nnd lake resorts In the Interior of the coun try are likely to enjoy the patronago this year of many who usually go to tho seashore. A icrent many people assert them selves as umateur Investigators slnnly necnuso they happen to have some spare time on their hands. German soldiers are belnir arrested for trying- to smuggle part of their food rations to their hungry families. Food will win the war I The German generals evidently do not propose to let many of their sol diers die of old age. Tho housewives seem to be solving tho servant problem by doing tho work themselves.

Stono Ships Not Entirely New. While Niune ships, such as are being made now for the government's uso In the war, nre considered qult,e a novelty, they really are not so new after all. Away back In 1S-I0 a boat of conrreto was launched by a Frenchman named I.itmbot.
