The two civilians are, left, Frank R. Wilson, director of publicity, and, right, L. B. Franklin, director of the war loan organization. Workers in the approaching Victory Loan campaign who render efficient service in obtaining subscriptions to the “finish the Job loah,” will be the proud possessors of genuine Hun heV mets, taken from captured German prisoners or found on the battlefields of France after their former owners had no further use for headgear, it is announced by the headquarters of the Sixth Federal Reserve District at At lanta. Three thousand five hundred of these helmets, averaging eight to a county, will arrive at the headquarters soon, and will be distributed. The exact basis upon which they will be awarded has not yet been determined, but it will as sure the real workers of a chance at the souvenirs. Hun helmets will dec orate many a home in the South soon. In some instances they probably will be converted into cuspidors. Preparations for the Victory Loan are going on rapidly, and the opening day, April 21, probably will find a big proportion of the state and county quotas ready for immediate subscrip tions. This will be especially so in counties where the individual quota system is being used. By this plan ev ery resident of the county will be no tified, before the opening day, of what he is expected to subscribe. It is ex ICE CREAM Sipec remote antiquity, man has found pleasure in the eating of frozen sub stances. The Bible speaks of the people of Palestine appreciating the refrshing qualities of snow in harvest time. The ancient Jews, Greeks anil Romans were accustomed to its use for the cooling of beverages. Alexander the Great relished a substance much like our sherbets today, frozen with snow brought from a mountain top by a swift running slave. But about the first real ice cream ever made was placed before Louis XIV, King of France, by his chef, who used cream in the ice of his invention, and thereby made ice cream. In our own country ice cream became popular before the Revolution. The manufacturer of this dainty obtained a high price in those days as the recipe was kept a close secret. The first advertisement of ice cream in this country appeared in a New York paper dated June 8, 1786, and reads: “Ladies and Gentlemen may be supplied with ice cream every' day at the City Tavern by their humble servant Joseph Crowe.” The article furnished by the humble Joseph was surely a luxury as it cost a dollar a quart. Ice Cream is not only one of the most delicious of sweets, enjoyed by old and young, but it is also a very nutritious food. It has several times the food value of candies; a quart is worth nearly as much as three pounds of beef steak. Because it is so nutritious and so easily digested physicians recommend it to invalids and convalescent patients; athletes in training eat it; and, if home made so that you know' it is pure and free from harmful adulterations, it is the best of food for growing girls and boys.

Bentley , Georg ia CALLED HER FAMILY TO HER BEDSIDE Six Tears Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, Bat Now She b a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardni For Her Recovery. Royse City, Tex.—Mra. Mary Kil m&n, of this place, says; "After the birth of my little girl,..my Bide com menced to hurt me. I had to go back to bed. TVe called the doctor. He treated me...but I got no better. I got worse and worse until the misery was unbearable.. .1 was In bed for three months and Buffered such agony that I was Just drawn up In a knot... I told my husband If he would get me a bottle of Cardui I would try 1t... 1 commenced taking It, however, that evening I called my family about me... for I knew I could not last many days unless I had a changs for pected to have every citizen carry his own share of the quota, instead of let ting his more patriotic neighbors car ry more than their share. Local com mittees will hear appeals from those who consider their quota too high. In most Instances, the same loyal workers who carried the former loans to success will form the committees on the Victory Loan. At recent state conferences they expressed confidence in being able to put the Job through, and their enthusiasm is certain to car ry them to success. Treasury department officials who have sounded out the sentiment of the whole country are confident that the people are willing to lend to their country for the purpose of finishing the Job and paying the war bills. They understand the gigantic work that is still going on, and the necessity of bringing the boys back home; of giv ing the wounded men that education and instruction which will enable them to get a fresh start. The Government has still a big task before it, and the expenditures are still large. But they are far smaller in money—to say noth ing of more precious lives —than If the war had continued. So the term, “Thanksgiving Loan,” may well be ap plied to this, the last of the govern ment’s Invitations to its people to lend their money to their nation. the better. That was six years ago and I am still here and am a well, strong woman, and I owe my life to Cardui. I bad only taken half the bottle when I began to feel better. The misery In my side got less... I continued right on taking the Cardui until I had taken three bottles and I did not need any more for I was well and never felt better In my life... I have never had any trouble from that day to this." Do you suffer from headache, back ache, pains In sides, or other discom forts, each month? Or do you feel weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so, give Cardui, the woman’s tonic, a trial. J. 71 Little Mary Was Angry. Mary was p’a>ing on the fioor with her doll.

A negro, who was so singularly lazy ns to be quite n problem, got converted In a revival. His associates in the church were extremely anxious to know whether he would not bestir him self and go to work. The negro at tended a meeting and offered a pray er, in which occurred the petition: “Use me, Lord, use me—in an advisory capacity.” Strange Street Names. What is the quaintest street name you know of in London, past or pres enr? It would probably bo hard, re lates the London Chronicle, to beat Shalligonnked street, which, according to the late Sir Laurence Gomme’s evi dence before the local records com mittee, appears as the name of a street in Wapping in a sewers rate book for 1748. In those days the naming of a street was not in the hands of a sedate public authority, hence the oddity ot some of Wiese eld names. For Weak Women In use for over 40 years!
