THE POWER OF A TEN DOLLAR BILL •
Consider the POWER of a Ten Dollar Bill when t is spent AT HOME. It is like MAGIC, It CIRCU-
LATES. It pays off a HUNDRED obligations. It creates BUSINESS anis puts people to WORK in our communi-
ty. But the ten dollar bill that is sent away to the out-of-town house does NOTHING for OUR town It be-
comes DEAD to US. It is out of commission foreverr as far as OUR town is concerned, We NEVER see it again.
Lot US, then, give POWER to the money we SPEND. Let us remember that our BEST investment is that

The Nurse Who Stayed Home,
We have" hailed with adoration our
nurses overseas,
And their worthy deeds of valor justly
brought us to our knees;
But there's still another idol—and we
haven't far to roam—
'Tis the girl who nursed the old folks
and the babies here at home.
Hors the task to heal the aged or the
children left behind;
Hers the lot to render comfort unto
those of feeble mind;
Hers to serve in ward and household
in this land from sea to sea,
While her sister nurses served the
cause in winning victory.
And she had no thrill of battle to ex-
cite her to bor task;
And she had no dream of glory—ah!
what honors could she ask?
It was naught but simple goodness—
love of home, of life and art—
That has kept her at the bedsides in
her vigils with the chart.
Oh, the never-ending story of our wo-
manhood in war!
The imperishable glory that is herald-
ed afar!
Here's a health to her that ventured
far beyond tate ocean foam,
And a double health forever to the

tive to Rome,
Compared with the jewelry of other
ancient nations, the distinctly Roman
jewels are held to possess the advant-
age of color and strength in design
and workmanship. Its characteristic
features were broad surfaces, massive
construction and the use of large
stones.
Uudor the Roman republic the use
et precious stones was prohibited ex-
cept in rings, but in imperial times
they were worn in such lavish profu-
sion that successive laws wore mere
in an effort to correct wild extravag-
ance. Pliny describes a girl who at
her betrothal ceremony was covered
with pearls and emeralds from head to
feet.
Reflecting the decadence of this
period is the fact that rings were worn
by men in 90naeless profusion, Mar-
tial speaks of an exquisite who wore
six on every finger, and had different
sets for whiter and summer.
Bracelets were also worn in large
numbers, the design of a coiled set,
pent being very popular. This is be-
lieved to have been an importation af-

GERMAN DELEGATES-
VERSAILLES BEY UP SOAP
A despatch from Versailles says:—
Germany's peace delegates passed
the best part of their flrat.day here
blaspheming the weather, in common
with other residents in this rainy,
windy, chilly township. The second
preoccupation of most of them, from
Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau down,
was the acquisition of soap. The
barber shops near the three hotels
where the Germans are quartered
were emptied of their stocks of soap
before noon. In search of the pre-
cious substance a party of German
newspaper correspondents strolled
far afield, Their appearance excited
adverse comment among the Versail-
les citizens, and, although the hostile
display was limited to prolonged hiss-
ing and hooting, M, Houdaille, who
has charge of the police arrange-
ments, gave the indiscreet soap
hunters a severe warning against
roaming beyond the immediate sur-
roundings of their billets.
FOREST;S TO BE PLANTED
England is Preparing for Task at
Cost of 217,000,000,
Two hundred thousand acres of
forest land in Great Britain are to
be replanted at a cost, for planting
and maintenance the first ten years,
of 717,000,000, according to an an-
nouncement by the gov'4rnment. The
trees will replace some of the heavy
timber cut down during the war and
previde additional forests, so that
the country may be independent of
other timber sources in cases of
emergency.
Foresters are being trained and
the necessary oaplings are being pre-
pared. If the experiment is success-
ful it is proposed to inc ease the
acreage .of reforested land to 1,770,-
000 acres within the next forty years.

A despatch from Paris says:—The

but it will he distributed. Final de-
cision has just been.reachedon this
point. Great Britain, which at first
was inclined to oppose the plan for
the elimination of the German craft
as war machines, shifted its position
and came to the support of France
and Italy, which had desired the par-
tition of the craft among the allies.
The American peace delegation op-
posed the plan of destruction from
the first.

TIN STOCKINGS.
Many Persons Woar Them Uncon-
sciously—Disguised With Silk.
We bave adopted many foreign ideas
of. comfort or utility, but no one has
sought to introduce the wooden shoe
from Holland. The tin stocking is
even loss suggestive of luxury, and
yet ma11y of us wear them. Of course
a person could not weal' a sock of
"eighteen -carat" tin and be uncon-
scious of It, but if the tin is alloyed
and disguised with silk he can wear a
considerable amount of it without sus-
pecting it.
in cutting rotted tops and bottoms
out of tin shoots in the manufacture
of tin cane there remains a certain
amount of scrap. Men have sat up
nights figuring the maximum number
of such pieces of various size that can
be cut Pram a sheet ot tin, and still
there fs the waste Ieft oyer that can-
not be worked lute sheets again. Re-
lief is found in the demand of the
manufacturer of silk, who needs some
substance to weigbt his goods. A sills
garment hangs and tits and holds its
shape better if weighted. Everyone
knows stow soft and light are the un-
weighted pongee silks. So the mann"
facturers of tin cans and of Bilks co.
operate. One disposes of his tin waste
and the other converts the metal into
tin chloride and works it into the we.
von silk. Virtually all the waste of
tin -can factories is put to that use.
Some silk stockings contain as much
as thirty per cont. of tin. The use is
entirely legitimate, since the trade de-
mands a silk that is firm and heavy
for certain garments for which the
purchaser desires a perfect fit.
Silk waste, such as worn-out and
cast-off garments,' becomes In turn a
