Weeping 8tove Pipes.
Weeping stove pipes, from the Joints
of which a tarllke liquid leaks out, is
often a difficult trouble to remedy. It
Is due to Insufficient druft. The sinoke
moving slowly tnrougn tlie pipes condenses,
and the liquid so formed oo*es
out at the Joints of tho pipes. Sometimes
hnvltiK the pipes on nn Incline,
upwards townrds the chimney, will
Increase the draft. Some find Hint
a little opening In the pipe next the
chimney, with a sliding cover, increases
the draft up the chimney,
when open, and so causes the smoke
to pass out quickly. It all comes to
this: Increase the draft and the heat
<>f the pipes, and so cause the smoke
to pass out so quickly that It cannot
cool and condense In the pipes.

CHRISTMAS
EPIGRAMS
m
^ It is a wise Santa who
keeps his whiskers away
from the candles.
, Better broken toys than
broken hearts.
Never look a gift in the
price tag.
Many a man puts on long
white whiskers and thinks he
looks like Santa Claus when
he looks more like a goat?
and perhaps he is.
One thing they missed during
the Spanish Inquisition
?Christmas cigars!
Shopping done in time is
the noblest work of woman!
A Christmas gift by any
other name doesn't cost half
as much.
A gift in the hand is worth
two in the postoffice.
Many a man gets a girl
llnrlor +V*a mieflafAa e>n1ir t r\
find himself, a little later,
under her thumb.
A pound of steak to a poor
man is worth a ton of holiday
greetings.
AN UP-BUILDING FORCE
Regardless of climate or
environment, Nature exacts
her toll of wear arid tear on the
system and there is frequent
need for an effectual aid to
restore strength and vitality.

They went under orders, as soldiers

Soldiers do; they assumed many
strange and unforeseen tasks, as soldiers
do. Literally, they went us

A "mobile surgical unit" of nurses? |
those words don't mean very much,
perhaps, the first time we hear them.
Hut see such an unit follow an army
up to an advanced post : see how the
nurses Work with Stead\ liaiids
the surgeons as the stretchers with the
newly wounded are brought In. See \
thousands of them in evueuatlon hospitals,
base liospltiilK, convalescent
hospitals, tuberculosis hospitals; some
of them In French military hospitals
where sometimes our men are sent ;
see them with their specialized skill
In head surgery, or fracture work, or
psychiatry;?ull these women who
keep head and hand cool and steady,
when the ambulances unload great
harvests of wounded. Then we sny

thousands of soldiers. The Ked Cross
Is also establishing canteens hy mill- ^
tary request at a ntimher of Aviation
'amps. American women condoct
these stations, comprising canteen and "
iduh and reading room. Everyone of I'
these canteens has something of the '
genius of home nhout it; and It Is r
because of this, no less than the fa- ,
clllties for cleanliness and rest ajjd ?
refreshment, that the French govern- |
merit has given the responsibility for
maintaining canteens for both armies 1 ''
to the hands of the American Ked Cross. I
In large numbers women are going , n

creased In number for the adinlnlstratlve

group of eighteen, which as the first
