"OLD GLORY
"America For Americans"
PERSONAL OPINION
' J .
Necessities of War De
mand That Social
Lines Be Obliterated
By Dr. SAMUEL G. DIXON, Commiv
sioner of Htulth of Pennsylvania
WHEN" will the American people
who have lived in the land
of plenty awaken to the fact
that we are engaged in the most
serious war this world has ever
known?
WE ARE JUST BEGINNING THE
FIGHT TO KEEP OUR ENEMIES
FROM OUR HERETOFORE PEACE
FUL HOMES.
The allies, with whom we are
fighting shoulder to shoulder, will
depend upon us for food, and our
army of producers must necessarily
be lessened by those who go to the
front to guard us from our enemy
with their muskets, as our forefa
thers did during the pioneer days
of America.
It is high time we lay aside the
frills and get down to real practical
work. In times of distress wrought
by the tremendous acts of nature,
such as earthquakes, cyclones, etc.,
and also by the devastations and
horrors of war all social lines are
broken down, AND \VE ARE
FOUND IX OUR SniRT
SLEEVES WORKING SIDE BY
SIDE.

No Wonder He Wouldn't Sell.
Captain Amundsen told au umuslng
story of one of his arctic expeditions.
Several of bis doss having died. Cap
tain Amundsen asked one of the na
tives In his best Eskimo If he would
sell hUn a few dog*. To his surprise
the request was promptly refused. The
explorer and the Eskimo had a long
argument, the explorer pointing out
that he must get dogs somehow and
the Eskimo replying that they never
sold them.
"Nonsense!" Captain Amundsen ex
claimed. "I have often bought dogs."
The Eskimos seemed immensely as
tonished. and at the end of another ar
gument Captain Amuiulsen discovered
that Instead vt using the Eskimo word
for "dogs" he bad been asking the man
to sell him some "Children."
Russia's Parquetry Floors.
Most flooring put down in Russia is
parquetry, and it 1 Is generally oak.
Even In the unpretentious houses and
j flat buildings this parquetry Is to be
found. In souie cases, of course, the
finish Is not so tine as iu others, and
in ordinary buildings the designs are
not so elaborute. One of the most
noticeable features of a Russian house
is that rugs and carpets are used for
wall decorations instead of floor cover
ings. Floor polishing by professionals,
wlio come regularly once •every week
j or ten days. Is considered a part of the
I regular routine of running a house.—
Detroit Free Press.
Churchyard Yew Trees.
One reason given why very old yew
trees are so often found in country
churchyards is that originally these
[ trees were planted to supply the peas
ants with wood tor their bows, for in
lawless times it was soon discovered
| that the unly place where trees would
be safe from nightly marauders was
the churchyard, where the most hnrd
J ened thief dared not venture between
darkness and dawn.—London Mail.
