it is not too early to look around
for cargoes, not only in this country
but abroad.
"Twenty-five million tons is « lot

1HK VALUE OF QUININE
As what is called Spanish influ
enza appears to bg spreading aud is
stated to be ouly another name f°r
what was called* Russian influenza,
which was very prevalent in Great
Brita'n in 1891, and which In lesss
acute form has since been known as
the grippe. I think some attention
should be Pa'd by the medical pro
fession and the public to the value
of ammoniated quinine, either in
liquid or tablet form, both as a pre
■ventativ© and in its early sstages us
a remedy.
I ffrsr heard of this in 1891 when

GET WRITING GRAZE
Paris.—The letter-writing craze hat
struck the American army.
Just as soon as he gets out of th*
trenches the doughboy washes up,
scurries around for pen and paper and
sits down to tell 'em all about It. And
he tells 'em in reams and reams.
"Well, let's see," he says, as ht
meditatively kicks his steel helmet
ii-iior his cot "I've got to write to mo
ami pa, Kittie and Johnny Buggs ovei
at Canton, O. Then, I owe Nell John
son a letter. And I've got to scribbU
a few lines to Uncle Abe and Aual
Minnie. After that I'll answer thost
letters of Bill and Tom."
Writing materials—paper and en
velopes—are not always plentiful
where the doughboy is stationed, am!
for a while it was doubtful whethci
the last of his correspondence list
would receive their letters, for th<
supply in the small town stores wat
soon exhausted. But the Y. M. C. A.
learning of this scarcity, soon ar
ranged to supply all contingents. II
sent out seven million sheets of writ
ing paper and some 3,500,000 envelopes
a month.
With the tremendous growth of th«
expeditionary force, orders have beer
increased and the estimate for next
year Is 120,000,000 sheets of paper am?
60,000,000 envelopes.
This means that the Yanks will us<
about 720 tons of writing materials—
720 tons of news and comfort for th<
folks at home.
And when the censor officers stop tc
consider it they grow weak, for it is
their duty, along with everything else
to censor the letters and see to It thai
the soldier uses discretion and doesn't
mention things of military importance
LGVE AND LILACS
By MILDRED WHITE.
(Copyright, 11#IS. by Western Newspaper rnk»u.j
Hoiuer Itrant drew his car up .sud
denly 311 sight of the lilac bush. To
him in tin- roadway came the sweet
j hauuting odor. Indefinably the par
I fume brought to mind the girl he had
so recently and so quickly learned to
1 love.
Homer had stopped there, on his
I way to an engineering camp higher up.
He had intended to remain over uight.
but with Justine Jordan's coming, his
visit had been prolonged.
During the first day they had visit
ed together, upon the hotel veranda,
the second found them roaming the
wonderful country In his car; at the
end of one short enchanted week,
Homer caught the girl in his arms,
speaking out his love for her. And
that had been the end. Like some
startled bird she had escaped and
down from his embrace, and when
after a troubled night, he awaited her
morning appearance, humble in his
apology—sin- had not appeared at all.
Instead the hail boy had handed him a
note in peculiarly characteristic hand
writing.
"Pear friend," it said, "when this
! reaches you, 1 shall be up among the
hills, fulfilling a mission which has
been postponed just one week. Spring
time, and lilac time, tempted me to
linger. When I meet you again. I hope
it m:>v he in tlc< more prosaic and less
ronuintie atmosphere of the city. With
best wishes e\er—Justine Jordan."
Whereupon. Homer, Inwnrdly fuming
at his cdmired one's practical coolness,
bade the inn good-by. and began a
.searching tour of the hills.
What could be the delayed mission
at which she mysteriously htuted and
which brought her to this Isolated
country?
He alighted and made his way to
the lilac bush which grew beside the
open window of a vacated log cabin;
looking inside, he was surprised to
see a reclining camp chair in the cen
ter of the room. Entering curiously,
he sank into the chair, idly drawing
from its side bracket a recent illus
trated magazine. Some person evi
dently made this rude shelter a read
ing |'luce.
On zing through ttie open uoor across
the vista of glorious scenery Homer
mentally complimented the reader on
his choice of location. Then us he re
placed. tlie magazine a pud of writing
paper fell from the rack, one glunce
at the bold and pleasing handwriting
brought a quick flush to his face. Sure
ly this and the penmanship of his own
hasty note of dismissal were the same.
So Justine had found her way to this
deserted cabin; then hor stopping place
must be in a nearby farm house. The
heading of the closely written. page
caught his attention, "Dearest," he
read, "Oh, my dearest!"
Ilomer Brant's heart pounded furi
ously, as his eyes forcibly followed the
lines: "Across the miles I huve trav
eled to our trysting place, and you
are not here. Instead, I find the lov
ing note you braved danger to leave.
Beloved, let not your courageous spirit
falter. Without one look Into your
eyes, without a touch of your dear
hand, I could not go back to the world.
Some way T shall manage our meeting.
Never in my heart can there be room
for other than you. I am,—Tour Own."
The pad slipped from the man's
trembling fingers. So this was the
secret of the softly brooding eyes;
and love after all these years had but
found him to make mockery.
Homer sprang to his feet, as a girl
came through the doorway, came and
stood a moment, surprise and dif
fidence in her gaze.
"Justine!" he cried out sharply, then
still inwardly raging, pointed to-the
written pages at his feet. "I read
your letter through," he said, "I even
forgot about scruples and It has show
ed me why you ran away from ray
love. But I want to know." he straight
ened before her, "I demand to know,
why any man dare to ask a woman to
meet him in secret, dare bring her ln
! to threatened danger!"
Across the girl's somber eyes flash
j ed her transforming smile. "That
I man. is a German spy." she replied.
Brant came suddenly close, fiercely
| he caught her wrists In his grasp,
"And you," he breathed, "you—"
For a time she stood, looking steadi
ly Into his face. "Let me go," she
said, at last^ "and I \viy .explain." _
mien Tie "looffeO" iter Han;:*; -sue smii
j od, and going t* the camp chair,
brought hack on open magazine hold
ing It out before hiiu.
Dazedly he read the title of h story,
"Tn Love and War," and beneath It,
"new serial, by Justine Jordan."
"You nre more privileged thun oth
ers," she laughed, "for you have read
the beginning of a later installment.
That Is what I came out here to write.
The cabin is my study."
"So," he said slowly, "you are a
great author, little Justine."
"Not great," the girl replied, "very
simple, love and lilacs—that 3ort of
thing."
"And In your own life, you have no
use for love?"
She looked from the lilacs nodding
through the cabin window, back to the
man's tense face, "Six days were too
short a time in which to be sure," she
murmured, "the country confuses with
its enchantment."
' "But now?—" his eyes burned Into
hers the question.
Helplessly she put out her hands,
"Never in my heart can there be room
for other than you," she quoted, "I am,
your own."
PLACARD WARFARE GOT
THE GOAT OF BOCHES
With the American Army In
France.—It was a quiet week
on one of our Lorraine sectors,
where AmerlcaSi and German
trenches run close together. The
sun came np one morning on a
huge placard hoisted from the
German front line and bearing
this in English:
"Welcome, Yankees, of the
Blankety-Blank division. Did you
bring coffins with you?"
A couple of hours later this
sign, in German went up on our
front line:
"No, but we brought a lot of
Hell."
The next morning the Ger
mans opened with this one:
"Yankees, spend the day In
prayer. We kill you tonight."
And this was the answer from
our trenches:
"Germans, give your hearts
and souls to Jesus, because
we've got your goats."
Something about tWs sign an
gered the Boches. They riddled
it with rifle bullets and thereup- ,
on the placard warfare was oft.
