WENT TO WAR IN A SACK, LAD COMES BACK A HERO

New York, Sept. 10.—Although he left this country a stowaway con- cealed in a barracks bag dragged aboard ^a transport by sympathetic soldiers nearly two years ago, Mau- rice Bailey, 16 years old, of Jackson, Me. landed from the transport North- ern Pacific today, the hero of one of the most interesting episodes of the world war.

An ugly scar over his right eye is his only record because he was never officially recorded a member of the American expeditionary forces, but a French war cross pinned on his tunic bears testimony of his heroism on an autumn day in 1918 when he crawled over a shell-torn field in the Toul sector and rescued a colonel and two majors of the 26th Division who were lying wounded in No Man’s Land.

His brother Alfred, who enlisted in the lildrd Infantry, and his father, Victor, a sergeant in the 167th In- fantry, whom he followed to France, were among those killed in action.

Against the advice and pleadings of his lather and brother, Maurice de- cided to “do his bit” by going to France. He followed the colors of his brother’s regiment until the war was over.

while carrying chocolate, cigarettes and water from a Y. M. C. A. can- teen to the men at the front in the Chateau Thierry operaions in July, 1918, MBaurice was struck by a piece of shrapnel. Two months later he rejoined the company, which was then about 20 miles from foul. It was there that he won his decoration.

“We were just fighting again, and 1 saw two majors lying wounded,” he said. “1 got a soldier from Com- pany H, and we went over to them and also found a colonel wounded nearby. One of the majors was wounded in the arm and the other’s leg was half cut off by a shell. The colonel had a bad wound on the top of his head and couldn’t see. The soldier picked up the major with the wounded leg and carried him on his shoulder. I put the other major’s arm around my neck, the colonel grabbed hold of me and we made it to the hospital.”

DON’T WASTE TIME AND MONEY REMODE LING OLD MATERIAL

Dye or Remodel Old Garments Only When the Material Has Enough Wear in It to Warrant Necessary Work and Cost

Buy Only Good Material.

“It’s all very well,” said Mrs. Con- nor, “to talk about making over clothes, but I haven’t found that it pays at all.”

As Mrs. Stanton leaned forward to answer, the other women of the club leaned back comfortably in their rocking chairs to enjoy more fully this discussion on clothes, the sub- ject so dear to every feminine heart.

“You and I surely have had differ- ent results, then. Everything I am

wearing today has been made over, or at least changed in some way from its original style, and I am sure this suit and blouse are wearing as well as any I might have bought this spring,” Mrs. Stanton answered.

“What makes the difference? Your clothes look wonderfully well and those which I have remodeled have that rather forlorn, made-over look at first and show worn places and holes before I have worn them more than a

month or so.” It is a Waste of Time and Good Dye to Attempt Coloring Some Garments

“Perhaps it is because, while I buy fewer clothes than you, I get better material in the first place and always ake better care of them than you

do. You know you are always look- ing for bargains and argue that buy- ing cheap things does away with the necessity of brushing, cleaning regu-

larly, and hanging (up your clothes carefully, as I do mine.

“I remember, when I bought this suit, there was another one which I liked almost as well for less money but, since I realized the material ip it would look shabby by the end of one year’s service, I decided on this one. I wore this one quite steadily for two years and then remade it this spring. It can easily be worn another year. In the meantime, I have en- joyed wearing the suit because I have always felt well-dressed and com- fortable when I had it on. The happy combination of good material and good workmanship showed in it and I have been contented to get along ! without some other clothes I might1 otherwise have been inveigled into1 buying.”

“Well, perhaps that is true of yourj suit but I doubt whether you have better material in that blouse you have on than there was in the one I attempted to dye. It was mustard colored, done in that gay embroidery such as everyone was wearing a year ago. I was tired and sick of it, though it was not in the least shabby, so I thought I’d color it. As soon as I put it in water, all the different colors used in the embroidery started running and the result is a smeared rainbow effect.

Startling Colors Under Suspicion. “That brings up a point I intended

to mention. We, with limited clothes allowances, can’t afford to buy clothes that are in good style, pei haps, but extreme. Startling colors and extre/ne fashions are not allowed in my wardrobe, for they are always expensive and seldom remain in good taste for any length of time.

“In the library the other day, I found a leaflet I’m sure you would like,” she added, turning to the group as a whole, “for every word in it is valuable. One thing, 1 remember, was

to remodel only when the material has enough wear in it to warrant the

necessary work and cost oi new ma- terial. The librarian told me we

^could get copies from the home dem- onstration agent. I would suggest that we get copies for discussion at some future meeting and have >the demonstrator talk to us about it.”

These women are not more inter- ested in clothes and how to get value received from them than thousands of others are. All will want the leaf- let, "Wise Spending Saves Clothing for the Family,” together with the other thrift leaflets which the Uni- ted States Department of Agricul- ture will send free on request. They will help you solve many questions.

SYSTEMATIC PLANNING LESSENS HOUSE-CLEANING.

Better equipment and more s> s— tematic planning help the house- keeper to do her cleaning more easi- ly and quickly. It is well to have a

special place where cleaning utensils may be kept in the best condition and ready for instant use, suggests the Department of Agriculture. Much time and energy is spent in collecting j the utensils needed for cleaning.

A closet, cupboard, or wardrobe in the kitchen is the best place for keep- ing the cleaning utensils. A back- stairs closet is also a good place. Une end of a back porch may be inclosed and used for such a purpose. The closet should have plenty of hooks and racks for utensils and a shelf for cleaning materials.

The housekeeper should choose utensils according to her own needs and according to the requirements of hqr house. Those suggested below are inexpensive and will help to lighten tne work of cleaning:

Bucket with wringer for mopping. A piece of inch Doard 15 inches

square with rollers makes a conveni- ent platform on which to set the mop bucket, and permits it to be moved easily without lifting.

Wail map made by tying a bag made of wool or cotton cloth over an

ordinary broom. A broom with a hook screwed in

the end of the handle, by which it can be hung up.

A long-handled dust-pan. Several brushes for cleaning pur-

poses. Cheesecloth, worn silk, and flannel-

ette for dusters. Dusters may be made by dipping

pieces of cheesecloth in two quarts of warm water to which one-half cup of kerosene has been added. These cloths should be kept away from the stove otf lighted lamp, as they are inflam- mable.

A blackboard eraser covered with flannelette for stove polishing.

An oiled floor map to use on oiled or polished floors. Several makes can be found on the market, or one may be made of old stockings or any discarded woolen or flannelette ma- terial. The material is cut into one- inch strips and sewed across the mid- dle to a foundation of heavy cloth. This is fastened to an old broom han-

die or used in a clamp mop handle. The mop is dipped into a solution made of one-half cup melted paraffin and one cup kerosene, and a.lowed to dry. To keep it moist, it is rolled tight and kept in a paper bag, away from stove or lamp.

SINKS AND TABLES RIGHT HEIGHT SAVE WOMAN’S TIME

The height of a woman’s kitchen sink and work tables are important factors in her well-being and well- doing. She can’t do as much or as

good work and feel well and strong with her sink and table so low that she has to bend over to work, or so

high that she has to “reach up,” as

she wouxd were they the proper height. As a general rule, 32 to 36 inches from the floor is the height for general work tables and the bottom of the sink should usually be 30 to 31 inches from the floor, the home economics kitchen of the United States Department of Agricuitu, suggests. however, each woman

ought to find out for herself the height of the table at which she can work most easily and efficiently, and see that her work tables and sink are

adjusted accordingly. Legs which are too long can be cut off, and those too short can be raised by blocks under them.

SIRUP FROM WATERMELONS.

Sirup to take the place of sorghum has been successfully made from im- perfect watermelons in many com- munities under the direction of the Department of Agriculture and the home demonstration agents of the State agricultural colleges. In Dun- kin county, Missouri, recipes to make it were given to each member of the farm bureau, to the teachers in the schools and were put on window posters.

For a Week Stomach. The great relief afforded by Cham-

berlain’s Tablets in a multitude of cases has fully proven the great value of this preparation for a weak stom- ach and impaired digestion. It many cases this relief has become perma- nent and the sufferers have been com-

pletely restored to health.

M. E. GOODWIN, Water Valley J. R. POYNER, Sarepta EQUAL SUFFRAGE IN ITALY. The geometric axiom that che

whole can be no larger than its parts, and is merely the sum total of them,; applies as well in practical affairs as it does in the construction of cir- cles or triangle.s. The poliical world is nothipg more nor less than the summing up of the political situations in the various nations of the globe. We are still part democratic and part autocratic with a residue of indiffer- entism. The slogan of world de- mocracy that the United States wrote

upon the banners of the allies has not yet been obtained, but the prin- ciple is moving on with a sure and certain stride.

When we think of the clear-toned and far-reaching Wilsonian battle cry “Make the world safe for democracy," we are reminded of the altogether pertinent and appealing story that Plutarch tells of Lycurgus, the Lace- daemonian. Some one approached Lycurgus and advised him to set up a

democracy in Spara and the Lacedae- monian made this reply: “Pray, do you first set up a democracy in your own house.”

This is exactly what practically the entire world, includnig even the United States, has so far failed to do. How can there be a government of, by and for the people, when only one-

half of the people is represented? But the war has furnished us a means

of reaching out toward this democ- racy. Instead of delaying the enfran- chisement of women, it has been the surest means of hastening it. In Scandinavian countries equal suffrage has already arrived and even defeated Germany has granted the ballot to its long-suffering and sorely-burdened" women folk. In the United States woman suffrage is but a matter of a

few short months and in England the movement is growing with each day. The latest convert to the idea of equality in the ballot is Italy, which is about to extend the political ad- ministrative vote to women after a

fight of about 60 years. The politi- cal leaders in Italy who formerly feared the “leap in the dark," when 6,000,000 women would be enfran- chised, now realize that the ballot is the only means by which the women

can secure other social and adminis- trative rights.

Verily nath democracy progressed slowly, but it is on the move and its course is forward.—Commercial Ap- peal.

old or older you will find nothing bet- ter than Chamberlain’s Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy, followed by a dose of oil. It should be kept at hand and given as soon as the first unnat-
