1 HE FEEDS THE SOLDIERS ]
Adjutant Netter, a French-Arneri-
can from New York, haH been pro¬
■
posed for the military medal and pro¬
motion to rank of lieutenant. He has
been on duty day and night for sev¬
eral monthB at Noisy, one of the most
important military supply and am¬
munition stations in France, assist¬
ing Colonel Bellenger, the military
commissioner o? the station at Noisy.

’• 'M/r, three months.
1 Adjutant Netter is well known in
the states as former secretary of the
i Geneva White Cross society and as¬
sistant to Dr. Harvey W. Wiley in the
international pure food agitation. The
first thing he did on arriving at Noisy
was to build kitchens for the purpose
of supplying hot soup and nourishing
food to all troops passing through. More than 100,000 soldiers of France
have been fed by these kitchens, which are working day and night. English
troops passing through Noisy get special attention from Adjutant Netter.
He always has tea, toast and crackers ready for them, also English tobacco
and cigarettes, and even English and American newspapers. Those who
met Adjutant Netter in New York—he was a well-known figure there—will
not be surprised at. the success of his hustling powers, but how he has
managed to do twenty hours’ work a day for three months is a mystery to
all in Paris. He does not expect to get a rest until the war is over.

HEAD OF THE JESUITS ]
Very Rev. Wlodimir Ledochowski,
who has just been elected general of
the Society of Jesus, comes of an il¬

the Catholic church in the past cen¬
tury the courageous Miecislas llalka

imprisonment during
persecution in Germany, because he
refused to side with the iron chancel

He was born on the family estates
near Cracow in 1866, received a fine
education and entered the Society of
Jesus at the age of twenty-three. His
progress was steady, and in 1901, on j
the day when he pronounced the last j
vows of the society, he was made
vice-provincial of Poland. Less than a year later he was installed as full
provincial, in 1906, when Francis Xavier Wernz was elected general of the
society, Ledochowski was given a place in his cabinet as assistant for Ger¬
many.

"Tomorrow!” said Cynthia softly.
"Tomorrow!”
Charley Askew swung round in his
Cbafr and faced his wife decisively.
"*C;'‘Ubia- dear, J don’t want you to
do it," he
"Not once more, dearest? For the
last time before We are free?”
“Oh Cynthia, " he cried, "if you knew
what it means to me. I sit here every
night like a timid woman until the
time comes to go round to the circus
entrance for you. Even_ nteht
more will drive me mad, Cynthia.
"But you must bear up one night
more, for both our sakes, dearest,” his
young wife answg^ed.
Three weeks befdre Charles Askew,
a young clerk in a broker’s office, saw
no future before him. On twenty dol-
lars a week, which might perhaps rise
to forty by the time he was a middle-
aged man, he was trying to support
Cynthia, whom he had married six
months before. They boarded—and
how they hated the boarding-house!
How they longed for that home which
always eluded them, phantomlike, even
with the possibility of installment fur-
niture, simply because it was impos-
sible to get the bare monthly rent
ahead. They had married for love, and
love was all—except the twenty dol-
lars a week—that they had to live on.
However, they forgot their troubles
in their mutual love until Cynthia de-
veloped signs of lung trouble. It was
not as yet serious—it would never be-
come serious, and would probably be-
come perfectly well if he could take
his wife West. But that was totally
out of the question.
They had dreamed all their lives of
a little farm. Both were city bred;
both longed for the country life as one
in which they could find their high-
est ideal come true. And if only they

could raise seven hundred dollars they
saw' their way clear. Seven hundred?
They might as well have cried for sev¬
enty thousand.
Then Cynthia had done a daring
thing. She had seen an advertisement
for a young woman of courage—Cyn¬
thia felt sure she had courage—to play
a small part in the circus. Cynthia
thought it was with the lions. She
had gone, and had found herself one
of five hundred applicants. There were
tall girls and short girls, stout and
thin girls, spruce girls and slatternly
ones—but she—she was the one picked
by the manager.
Itmeed there was nothing strange
about that, for she had that air and
breeding which were a sine qua,non
for the task But Cynthia thought it
was a miracle.
She was to be strapped into an au¬
tomobile which looped the loop every
night. And for the five minutes which
the whole duty required she was to re¬
ceive fifty dollars nightly for three
weeks—in all nine hundred dollars.
“There ain’t no risk at all,” the
manager explained. "We’ve tried it
out a hundred times. I’ll show you.”
Cynthia saw the old performer, who
was retiring that week, go through the
performance, When the girl came
back from her terrifying ride, she was
white and shaking.
"Lost her nerve,” the manager ex¬
plained. "They all do sooner or later.
Then it’s for the next one. No, 1 don’t
know why it is. They don’t mind it
the first week or two, but a month’s
about the limit for all of ’em. How¬
ever, the show moves South in three
weeks, and I ain’t going to take you
with us, because your time to lose
your nerve would come as soon as we’d
paid your fare to Cuba. So it’s just
for three weeks. Are you on?”
Cynthia W3s "on." But, after she
had signed her agreement and told
Clxvioy the hardest task lay before
her
I At first he positively refused to
sanction it. It was only after a ter¬
rible scene, in which Cynthia lied
brazenly about the work she was to
do, that her husband consented. And
that was because he knew that if they
couldn’t earn this money it meant that
Cynthia must die of the lung trouble
that was becoming obvious.
Three nights passed, during which
period Charley thought his wife was
simply a passenger in a racing auto¬
mobile. On the fourth he went to the
circus and discovered the truth. Then
there was another scene. He even
went to the manager, but that worthy
showed him the agreement and
laughed in his face.
"No money till Saturday,” he said.
"If she don’t stay out the week she
don’t get a penny.”
Cynthia stayed out that week, and
another, and most of the third. This
was the last night, the last Saturday,
and Charley had pleaded with her to
let the week’s salary go and be con¬
tent with the six hundred.
But three hundred dollars seemed a
stiff price to pay for a single night,
and at last he sullenly acquiesced. But
when Cynthia had gone he sat in theij
room overwhelmed with the fears that
would insist in creeping upon him,
numbing his brain and paralyzing his
~
courage.
'ifie last night! Reason told hiip.
that no harm could come to her, and
yet in his mind’s eye was a picture of
that awful leap of the heavy automo-
bile through space. He saw Cynthia
upside down, strapped helpless, the
automobile missing the track and hurl-
ing its tons of metal through the air,
pinning Cynthia beneath the wreck-
age. She would have no chance at all;
she would never even know that she
had died.
The sweat dripped from his brow,
He remembered their happy life to-
gether. On Monday they had planned
to start for the West with their nine
hundred dollars. He had already re-
signed his position. Now ... it
was unbearable.
The fearful premonition would not
down; it grew and grew until it be-
came certainty. At last he flung on
his hat and ran down the stairs, out
into the street, and toward the circus
entrance.
Something had seemed to snap in
his heart, and he was sure now that
Cynthia was dead. He tore, panting,
along the street, reached the side door
of the circus, and tried to force his
way past the doorkeeper,
“Now then, young feller,” remori-
strated that bemedaled functionary.
"My wife!” gasped Charley; but the
doorkeeper saw in him only a jealous
husband who had come perhaps to cre¬
ate a disturbance within. And Charley
was too incoherent to explain. He
struggled. The doorkeeper tried to
fling him out. Circus hands came run¬
ning up.
“I tell you my wife’s in there!”
gasped the frantic man. “She’s dead!
She’s in the dip of death. She—’’
They thought he was a madman
now r . And suddenly, as they were
forcing him to the door, Cynthia stood
before him, radiant.
"Charley! ’ she cried. "This is my
husband! How dare you strike him?
Charley, what is it? Why . . .
you were afraid for me?”
He fell back, fainting from the re¬
action, while, under her directions the
doorkeeper, changed from a lion to a
Iamb, fanned the man’s face and
tapped him in kindly fashion upon the
shoulder.
"You didn’t have an accident?”
gasped Charley Askew faintly.
“Why, no, dear,” cried his wife.
“And I’ve got the money, too. Three
hundred dollars—and we leave for the
West Monday.”
“Whoop!” shouted Charley, spring¬
ing upon his feet and trying to em¬
brace the doorkeeper. But that func¬
tionary had discreetly withdrawn, so
Charley kissed the next most acces¬
sible person—whom he had often
kissed before.
TO DRILL HOLES IN GLASS
Copper Wire With a Mixture of Emery
and Oil, Will Do the Work Well
and Quickly.
The following is a satisfactory
method of drilling holes in glass:
Take a piece of straight copper the
size of the hole that it is required to
drill. The tubing should have a wall
of one-thirty-second of an inch or
more in thickness, depending upon
the diameter. The tube is set up in a
drill chuck and driven at a speed cor¬
responding to that of a twist drill of
the same size. The tube is fed down
on to the glass with an intermittent
movement, and a mixture of emery
and oil is dropped on to the glass at
the point where the hole is to be'
drilled. After a ring has been cut
in the glass on one side the work is
turned over and the drilling com¬
pleted from the opposite side. This
will prevent chipping the glass when
the drill nears the opposite side. The
copper tubing is soft, so that it holds
the emery, and as copper is an excel¬
lent conductor of heat it draws the
heat away from the glass, preventing
it from being cracked. An idea of
the rapidity with which holes can be
drilled in this way may be gathered
from the fact that a five-sixteenths-
inch hole can be drilled through an
ordinary sheet of window glass in
seven minutes.

No "bulk coffee” is a satisfactory substitute for
French Market Coffee. For this famous old secret
blend cannot be successfully imitated.
The blend of Coffees that produce that rich,
aromatic flavor peculiar to the genuine French Mar¬
ket Coffee is a secret of the French Market Mills.
Even if the right blend were known, it would be impossible to
reproduce the old time French Market slow roast and grinding pro¬
cess only obtainable by the splendid machinery of the French Mar-
ket Mills. Nowhere else could the French Market process of
packing coffee, untouched by human hands, ia perfectly sealed
cans, be reproduced.

SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR
DARKENS YOUR GRAY HAIR
Look Years Younger! Try Grandma’s
Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound¬
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth’s Sage and Sul¬
phur Hair Remedy.” You will get a
large bottle for about 50 cents. Every¬
body uses this old, famous recipe, be¬
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one sin all strand at a time; by morn-
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.

Submerged. .6;
The strength of a TVemlock stick a
foot square that had been in water for
almost forty years was recently test¬
ed in the 600,000-pound testing ma¬
chine at Rensselaer Polytechnic insti¬
tute at Troy in New York. The tim¬
ber, which was 15 feet 9 inches long,
had formed part of one of the piers of
the Congress street bridge at Troy.
When the pier broke down after the
flood in thd spring of 1913, the timber
was turned over to one of the mate¬
rial-testing laboratories of the insti¬
tute. It was kept in the open air
for three months, and then placed in
a dry room for a little more than nine
months. When placed in the testing
machine, the column failed under a
load of 384,000 pounds; that is, the
long-submerged wood showed an ulti¬
mate strength of 2,670 pounds to the
square inch. In the opinion of Prof.
T. R. Lawson, who conducted the test,
the remarkable strength of this piece
of hemlock seems to show that be¬
ing immersed in water for a long time
does not decrease the column strength
of timber that is subsequently permit¬
ted to dry out.—Youth’s Companion.
Unbecoming.
