"1 got tiie leave ei nil right, and I'.ielo Sam pays mn ca nl>out as often as any hoss harl?er, hut pj you see, I shave myself onee a week, find let you shave me onee a week, u; too." u, "So you're Just on semi-friendly terms with the safety, eh?" urged tlie barber. "Oh, I wouldn't say that," replied the soldier. ' Yon > ! have two girls in In this town. One ! see every Wed* at nesd.iy. Then 1 -have myself. The st other I see every Saturday.

THE LANCASTER GUM TAKES PLACE OF WATER Assuages Thirst, of Soldiers Fighting in Country Where Liquid Was Practically Unobtainable. Of all the varied means of masticatory stimulation which have been resorted to by man In u 11 elimea and ages the great American gum seems least harmful and most helpful. That there Is a physiological demand for sortie masticatory stimulant, says the New York Medical Journal, is shown by the universality of the practice of Chewing. Whether It be the tobacco of the American Indian the betel nut <>f the Hast, the slippery elm bark, the tamarack and the sprue** gum of the down-east Yankee, the s*?et gum of ?ii.> <i... ..i.i..i.. ... M..~? cans, which. In its American adaptation. becomes the great American chewing gum. man has always fe.'t the necessity of chewing something more than his meals. That there is a pii'Ctic.illy useful side for this habit r* evidenced by the orders placed by tho quartermaster of the United States unity for IMMHl.tHtO packages of this standard American dainty. We learn from the war department that the commanding olllcer of a Held artillery regiment, about to embark, stated that 2">0 pounds of ch -winK gum would take the place of hundreds of gallons of drinking water when water was most needed and least readily obtainable. The American Ited Cross recently cabled an order for chewing gum for use In the reconquered territory where the wells had been pois oiled by the retreating Gerinuns.
