FOOD WINS THE WAR
DON'T WASTE IT
FOUR EPOCHS IN 1. S. HISTORY.
Since the advent of America's en
try lt,to the world war. our nation
al history may be divided into four
great historical documents, mark
la? progressive epochs in American
Ism. July 4, 177t>, the Declaration
of Independence was signed. mark
Ins the first epoch. By this declar
ation tne people ot' America justit'itd
their independence from European,
domination. President Monroe, oil
December 1823, announced the
right cf the peoples in the western
hemispnere to pursue their political
independence without interference
from, old-world powers. This marks
the second epoch. Third is Lincoln's
Cfcitygbudg memorial address. Nov
ember 19, 1S63, in which the ri?hts
of Americans to their own conti
nents are affirmed to be inalienably
democratical. Fourth, and not leas$
is President Wilson's address before
a jo'nt session of Congress, April 2,
l:'17, in which he asserted the valu
of th* democratical x>olicy to the
whole territorial world and the
to it of »he entire human, race.
IT PAYS TO AI»\ KIt'l lSK
Bradstreet's says that 'Viuhty-foi{
Der coat of all the failures are non
advertisers! "
Which, considering the source of
the declaration, is- pretty conclusive
pp'"* that advertising pays.
When Bradstreet's says that only
16 pej cent of business failures
are among advertisers the statement
has real significance.
No business firm ever became tru
ly preat except by the "id of ad
vest ising!
Like competition, advertising is
the "life of trade." Without it,
in modem days and under modern
Business conditions, no commercial
or other business concern can
achieve the success that- it can with
n. ;* y
That is axiomatic, as every suc
cessful btKiness man, will attest.
Outside, possibly, of personality
and Integrity, advertising is the

UNCLE SAM'S MARINES.
A Fine Body of Fighters «nd Alw«y®
Ready For Battle.
United States ninrlnes are always to
be found where trouble breaks oat If
the scene Is In reach of transports or
warships. They are quartered on every
first class ship of the navy, ready to go
as hole as Infantry, us heavy or light <
artillery or in machine gun squads.
There is not and never was a better
body of fighting men ashore or afloat
than the American marines. Their tra
dition of efficiency aud fearlessness is
one of the finest. Usually they fro
against the enemy when heavily out
numbered and often are required to
hold their own In the midst of hostile
populations until bluejackets and the
army can be seut to back them up. It
is only natural that the most adventur
I ous spirits from every quarter of tho
| world, soldiers of fortune who want to
I be always In a good light, should b*v«
been attracted to a force which offers
so many opportunities of the kind.
Xo company, no squad, of United
States marines has ever shown the
white feather. They are of the cream
of mllltury nobility. On their capa
they wear a little metal globe and the
words "Semper FldelU"—they go wher
ever the Has is carried, where troublt
is thickest, and they are the ever faith
ful legion wliicij nevet falls us.—Provi

| COAXING THE SALMON.
•
■ Try Trout Fishing Tactics Whan Yon
Go After This Gam* Fish.
When you are going to make a try
for salmon remember jour trout Ash
ing. Keep low in the grass and buahes,
east delicately over the entire pool, be
ginning at the ttiil. where the fish art
most apt to be in ordinary weather,
and. working up to the very head,
where they are often found after •
rise of water. proi>el the fly with the
variety of motion known to every trout
llsher. and particularly try It at vari
ous depths.
I have often found that the only way
to start a salmon was to sink the fly
at least two feet and rely upon a tiny
spasmodic twitch now and then (as of
a drowning insect) to do the trick.
This is often effective after a fish has
come up once and refuses to repeat the
experiment.
Whf.i a rise comes it will probably
j he a slow one. I)o not move the fly at
all after the lirst sign. Strike lightly,
but tirmly, on the tirst impact If the
line is short, and when you have count
ed two or three after the rise If the
I line is long. Advice not to strike, If
applicable at all. pertains only to swift
water when fishing downstream. Un
der any other conditions failure to
strike is often suicidal.—Outing.
What You Eat In Applas.
I Po you know what you are eating
when you eat an apple? You are eat
ing iualic acid, the projierty that makes
buttermilk so healthful. You are eat
' ing gallic acid, one of the most neces
| sary elements in human economy. You
; are eating sugar in the most assimila
ble form, combined carbon, hydrogen
j and oxygen caught and imprisoned
from the sunshine. You are eating al
i burnen in its most available state. Y'ou
i are eating a gum allied to the "fra
j grant medicinal gun.s of Araby." You
are eating phosphorus in |ii£ only form
! in which it is available as a source of
all brain and nerve energy. Jn addl
I ti"n to all these, you ure drinking tha
I purest water and eating the most
| healthful aud desirable fiber for the re.

WORK OF THE PRESIDENT.
"Put It In Writing,'' la the Rule of
Our Chi«f Executive.
Mr. "Wilson llkns to have things in
writing, aud almost all of the busiueea
of the Wilson administration Is con
ducted in that way. The cabinet has
learned to submit virtually everything
in writing. Mr. Wilson has no stenog
rapher with him at night. He keeps a
little typewriter beside hitn and types
a brief comment or reply to each of
these long communications. ..
Even the president's private secre
tary, when anxious to lay before him a
matter of Importance, draws up a
memorandum or brief giving the pros
aud cons of the subject. He could just
as well walk a few steps to the White
House from the executive offices or
even consult the president when he Is
in his office, but ever since he wus gov- ]
ernor of New Jersey Mr. Wllsou hns
indicated that he prefers to huve im
portant Questions placed before lilm ou
paper so that they muy be examined at
his leisure, though the very word ia a
misnomer.
So mind could retain all that is said
to the president lu a single day, so it
happens that Mr. Wilson's deuk Is al
ways plied high with papers. It is a
constant battle against a constantly
ascending pile. Part of the mountain
Is made up of official papers and com
missions that merely require the presi
dent's si^uature, small bills and resolu- j
t!oni that have passed congress. Writ
ing one's name a hundred times is u
monotonous undertaking, hut the presi
dent must do It literally thousands of
times a week. — David Lawrence In

tury old. was the ttrst building to be
erected on Lafayette square after the
White House, whlrh was completed In
1800. The presidents of the United
Stales who worshiped here were John
Qulncy Adams. Madison, Monroe, Van
Buren, William Henry Harrison. Tyler,
Taylor, Fillmore and Arthur and In
more recent times the White House
was represented by Mrs. Roosevelt and
Mrs. Taft, who made St. John's church
their church home.
Other promlueut people were regu- I
larly seen lu the congregation, includ
ing Stephen Decatur, Henry Clay, John
C. Calhoun. Chief JustK-e Fuller, Sal
mon F. Chase, Benjamin F. Butler,
Lewis Cass. Georgo Bancroft, Wlutleld
Scott and George Dewey. Its rectors
officiated at nearly all of the early
White House weddings, many notable
ones having taken place within its sa
cred walls.
The denominations have been pretty
well represented in the presidency.
Grant attended the Metropolitan Meth
odist church. McKiuley the Foundry

Fashion's Changs*.
One can say as a certainty that In
thef twentieth century no one will be
able to boast that he has created any
thing absolutely new lu fashions. The
crinolines of the Empress Eugenie
were a reminiscence of the panniers of
Marie Antoinette, and long before her j
time. In the orient, women had con- I
celved the Idea of enlarging their |
skirts by means of hoops. A few years j
ago women of fashion affected high
waists and sheath dresses, but before
them Mme. Recainier bad done the
same thing, and the dresses of Mme.
Recamler were suggested by the
Urppks and the Romans. In short, like
everything else, fashion is a part of the
same everiastiug cowp aid fc'»> We do
