Learn to walk.
War bread is good bread.
We suppose they will celebrate
Christmas in Jerusalem.
The initials of your pet hobby may
be O. K. today, but N. B. tomorrow,
If you do not advertise.
Those thing* that have been builded
Upon false foundations must full. The
war will shake them down.
Where are the successful men who
won their success by cutting down ex-
penses in their businesses?
Two of Temple's restaurants com-
ply with the request of tho govern-
ment for the observance of meatless
days.
Who can not remember the day
When a high oak tree with a high
■wing in It was worth more than a
modern carnival?
The man who does not take some
physical training' will be a weak con-
tender against the one who graduates
in this form of culture.
Employment should be provided for
those persons who are in need of
clothing, that they may learn thrift in
caring for their personal Interests.
If you could do yesterday's work
over you would do It much better,
would you not? Consider that today
Is yesterday and do as you think you
would.
A Red Cross worker has said: "Now
Is the time to show where wo stand.
If we are not for our country, we are
against It. There Is no middle
ground."
No one can now afford to weep be-
cause the soldier of tho family has
gone to war, because the entire com-
munity can not afford to be weeping
•11 the tlrae.
There is a man in this town who
grieves over the cost of the war. It
will not cost him anything after he is
dead, and he will soon be dead. So
why worry?
Some persons can not write good
articles or stories because they <a<n
not gesticulate with their hands to
give expression to the Ideas they may
try to express.
There Is to he a Christmassy spirit
In Bell county this year. The boys
who have gone to war wish that we
may remain cheerful while helping
them win the wnr.
The elimination of waste has
brought about a market for magazines
returned to the publishers as unsold.
Many persons are willing to subscribe
for such magazines, even though they
are a month late In arriving.
The thrif campaign will surely add
to the strength of the community, the
State and the nation, not to mention
the principal beneficiary—the person
who practices thrift. Thrift is not
Stinginess. Guess again.

Many of the faultn surrounding
army camps have trown out of the
fact that men -cere trying to deal
with every phase of army life, with-
out asking assistance from American
women. One leader r. .long the men
finally called to the women and ask-
ed: "Kor heaven's sake, can't you
do something with the women who
visit army camps?" Tho result is
host houses, where "isiting women
cah have the hospitality of a prop-
erly chaperoned w man's hor..e.

From now on the activities of the Red

Increased support on the part of the loyal

American people will not fall to answer this

The nation is now at var and the
folks who constitute the nation can
not afford to spend their time hang-
ing around drunk emporiums. Even
though the drinkers drink privately
we have the satisfaction of knowing
that it will net take up so much of
their time and that it will kill them
quicker than drinking in a saloon.
We are going to need the room for
sober folks before the war Is won
and we must win if we have to give
up drinking altogether.

Everyone should use good English,
yet it is a fact that many of those
who do not use good English do i ,o
good expression, which is the attain-
ment of the purpose for which langu-
age was designed. Perhaps "Texas

rect in the use of language, but the

Matthew's Oospel: "The book of the
generation of Jesile Christ, the son of
David, the son of Abraham," seeins
to have given utterance to a sentence
without a predicate.

Loosening I p.
We ashed old llunx to come across,
with wartime contribution. This
tightwad ts a total loss, except for elo-
cution. He'll stand around and talk
for hours In patriotic manner, and
throw all kinds of gaudy flowers at
our world famous banner. Our ban-
ner pleases every gent, and all the
poets sing il; and twaddle doesn't Cost
a cent, no any man can spring it.
"Oli, llunx," we said, "don't chew tHe
rag: shell coins—the soldiers need
'em." He tried.to switch off to the
flag, and sundry boons of freedom.
He told how he would die and bleed,
if he wire under thirty. "Did llunx,"
we said, "you're cheap, indeed: your
soul is pretty dirty. The nation
blushes for that son with soul of
neuter gender, who hands out lan-
guage by the ton, when she needs
legal tender." "I've given much," old
llunx replied, explaining why he's liv-
ing; "no worthy cause hits been de-
nied—It seems I'm always giving. It
really makes me shed a tear, the way
I have to squander; I cough up fif-
teen dollars here, and fifteen dollars
yonder." And he has thousands put
away, and tens of thousands hidden!
And he is groaning all the day of how
he's nagged and ridden! Before this
war has had an end, before the final
Inning, a lot of tightwad souls, my
friend, will undergo a skinning.

haggard nml drawn and lined with

Rrltish interpreter who was reading
some thing to them in Herman.
"What terrible tidings are those

The president, In a letter fo the

furnished below, expresses his appre-
ciation of tho work they are doing
throughout the country:
"May I not express my real inter-
est in the vigorous and Intelligent
work your organization is doing in
connection with the committee on
public information? It is surely a
matter worthy of sincere appreciation
that a body of thoughtful citizens,
with the hearty co-operation of the
managers of moving picture theaters,
are engaged In the presentation and
discussion of the purposes and meas-
ures of these critical dajs.
"Men anil nations are jit their worst
or at their best in any great struggle.
The spoken word may light the fires
of passion and unreason or it may in-
spire to highest action and noblest
sacrifice a nation of freemen. Upon
you Four-Minute Men, whb are
charged with a special duty and enjoy
a special privilege In the command of
your audiences, will rest, in a consid-
erable degree, the task of arousing
and informing the great body of our
people so that when the record of
these days is complete we shall read
page for page with the deeds of army
and navy the story of the unity, the
spirit of sacrifice, the unceasing
labors, the high courage of the men
and women at home who held un-
broken the Inner lines. My best
wishes and continuing Interest are
with you in your work as part of the
reserve officers' corps in a nation
thrice armed because, through your
efforts, it knows better the justice of
its cause and the value of what it
defends.
"Cordially and sincerely yours,

but she sed my mommo sed I eood

I sed no, thank you, and she looked

The Prevention of Pneumonia.
How are we going to prevent
pneumonia? In the first place we
have to remove the predisposi-
tions. That U an easy thing to
write down but a mighty hard
thing to do. In this workaday
world where the struggle for exis-
tence is so Intense, rt ts Impossible
to remove all the faetora that weak-
en the body and lay it open to the
attacks of germs. As for tht germ
Itself, we must act pretty much ss
we should against the germ of coo-
sumption. The sputum Is disinfec-
ted; those Who nurse pneumonia pa-
tients must keep their mouths and
throat 8 very clean by means of tooth
brushes and gargles; they must
wash their hands very often and
then bathe them in disinfecting sol-
utions. After the patient's recov-
ery or removal hts house is disin-
fected throughout Those who need
not be with pneumonia patients had
best not visit them; though of
course there is no occasion for
fright., as if they had the plague.
However, people worn out or other-
wise susceptible to Infection, should
not unnecessarily expose themselves
to pneumococcus infection.

EYE TUBERCULOSIS.
For the patt year I have been tuf-

was correct. Yes, from a tuberculous
focus in the eye, as well as In
any other part of the body, the ear

ease may spread through the lym-
phatics, so that it will become gen-
eralized. The ailment is indsed ser-

Kill Lice on Hogs,
In the growth and development of
hogs it is Important to kill the lice.
Crude oil is effective for this pur-
pose, for it not only kills the lice but
also destroys the nits and makes the
skin and hair on the hog soft ami
bright.
There are many hog dips on the
market, but many of these are unsat-
isfactory. Crude oil has been found
to give better results. This oil may
tie applied by the use of patent hog
oilers, but as a rule these are not sat-
isfactory, for they are expensive ami
many do not apply the oil evenly.
One of the most satisfactory meth-
ods of applying crude oil is to drive
as many of the hogs as possible nt one
time into an inclosure having a cement
floor, oil may then be applied to the
hogs with an ordinary sprinkling can.
The hogs' will rub against each other
and thus distribute the oil evenly.
The hogs should not be let out of
the enclosure until this is done.—•

Japanese waitresses who have
waxed wealthy in tho eyes of Japan's
income tax collector, because of the
tipping extravagance, are to be sub-
jected to a special levy, if plans of
the tux committee of the Tokio pre-
fectutal assembly be carried out.
John Frye, a woodsman of Belling-
hatn, Wash., ate thirty bananas and
then went to a restaurant, where he
ordered a double portion of halibut, a
steak and all the extras. He says it
is nothing for him to eat a dozen pics
at one sitting.
