Now that's a fact, and that's where our goods appealed to these military peo- ple the most—the double use they could get out of them—irst us a war ration and then as a hand grenade and that's what closed the contract.” Told in Scriousnes This was told in all seriousness and was not a story of “‘the road,” that there is every reason to expect that Irish stew made in America will soon be nourishing allied troops and after- ward serving them as a receptacle for explosive to offset liquid fire, asphy- xiating gas and other deadly contri- vances. The group of American traveling men had considcrably inlarged while this talk was going on. and one of the new-comers remirked: “I've got something that beats your Irish stew, but those people at the London War office wouldn’t adopt it.” Wad of Pliable Metal. He drew from his pocket a wad of pliable metal thut gradually unfolded itself into the form of a perfect glove. It was made of minute links of steel, much as ladies’ link purse is made, so that the linked-steel glove fitted to the hand was flexible to all its move- ments. “Have you noticed,” “that the wounded India the streets of London in their right hand in a sling. That i+ because the Indian fighter, when he rushes a German trench, grabs the German bayonets as they're thrust him, and when the bayonet is j back it cut an ugly double-edged wounds in the Indian’s hand. That's why half the Indian troops are in hospitals with wounded hands. Standing in Own Light. “Now it was to meet just such a condition and keep the Indian on the firing line that we got up this steel- linked glove. With that on his hand an Indian can jump in a trench and grab a bayonet, with no danger of a wounded hand. But somehow those wouldn't see it they're slanding in their own light. for every one of those gloves would have kept an Indian soldier at the front.” It appears he explained, troops in riably have to be the consensus of opinion among the commercial men that it is very hard to do business with the average Kuropean official. First the bureau systems make an endless amount of circumlocution and red tape, and it is difficult to find who is the official who has the real decision. And after that the travelers say that hide-bound conser- vatism stands in the way of the adop- tion of anything outside of old, well-understood models, many of which are out of date- They tell many strange experiences in their efforts to reach the right people. Introduction Necessary. “I was told,” said ome of the trav- elers, “that an introduction from prominent people was necessary to get you any attention. One firm ad- vertised in London that they could furnish the right kind of introduc- tions. 1 looked them up and found they were house agents. Then I heard that the Duke of — — could give the sort of letter required. So I managed to see him, and told him that in America we were able to tell a customer when we saw one, and I was so anxious to see what a ' Brit- ish customer looked like that I would be willing to spend a thousand dol- {lars to have one Introduced to me. | The Duke said he would be glad to introduce the very man who had the final signing of contracts for my lino of goods, and he would bring him to me in two d I waited anxiously the second day, but he did not come, and I have been waiting ever since. But the Duke can do it if he wants to, there is no doubt.” Another representative of an ex- | tensive American industry related the following experience, $356 Artillery Harness. “An artillery harness for six horses is being furnished to one of the belligerent governments for $35. The contract was first let as a whole to an American agent at that net price. But as the agent was not in the harness business—this being only one of many war contracts—he sub- ict it to another contractor who made a specialty in horses but not in har- ness, so that he in turn sub-let the contract to us. Now I was able to 80 to these government people and say to them that 1 would furnish this six-horse artillery harness at $318 in- stead of $356, and also would give _CHARLES W.

Above this hull were the huge air-planes, in two alternate series, one above the other, o as to catch the “air billows.” The specifications were equally detailed; including sev- eral high-power engines.

A French literary man fell in with one of the new order of American commercial men the other night, and asked him if he had seen the sights of Paris. “Yes,” he said, “but I find that the police have closed most of the sights” “Oh, no,” said his literary friend, “the real sighis of Paris, the monu- ments, are always open—the Pan- theon, Notre Dame, the Invalides, the Madeleine and the Louvre.” “Ah yes, I have seen the Louvre thoroughly “Thoroughly?” said the homee des lettres in surprise, rc calling the labyrinthin vastiness of the Louvre collection, “and how lory aid it take you?" “Fully an hour,” was the reply, which has left the Frenchman puzzl- ed ever since, Will Have to Watch Out.

The Olive Tablet Company, Columbus, O, tie | SWEDEN CURTAIL SALE OF LIQUOR Fach Citizen Only Allowed Fixed (uantity of Drink Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 30.— Anthough nothing so drastic as the prohibition measures of Russia has been attempted in Sweden, there has been, since the beginning of the war, a steady and systematic curtailment in the le of liquor, which is ap- provingly regarded by temperance ad- vocated as a decided step toward ab- solute prohibition. The ockholm system” of allowing each izen oniy a fixed quantity of spirituous drink, which was inaugurated just after the war started, has now been extended to thirty-one of the hundred districts in Sweden, and according to a gov- ernment order recently issued, will, after the first of January, 1916, ap- ply to the whole of Sweden. _The “Stockholm system” which al- 16ws every citizen in good standing in the city to become a moderate drink- er, while effectively preventing him from becoming a drunkard, was in- geniously devised by Dr. Ivan Brat present director of the system, after all other expedients had failed. Dr. Bratt has been lauded, condemned, idolized, and ridiculed, and his work has become the theme of almost daily d ussion in the newspapers of Swe- den come of which criticise him for being too moderate and others too extreme in the reforms. But on one point all are agreed. The sys- tem works.

At the same time, his book was stamped with the date of the purchase so that it would be clear to the dealer when he made his last purchase. Without showing his book, no citizen of Stock- holm, has the remotest chance of ob- taining a bottle of liquor anywhere in the city. The regulation is rigidly enforced. It is true that in some cases, how- ever exceptions are made. If one can persuade the authorities that on uc- count of his social position and the | demands of constant entertainment | one litre every five days is totally in- | adequate, and if the authorities are | convinced that such a person can be trusted with more liquor without abusing the privilege conferred upon | him, he is then given a special h- | ccnse two, three or more litres, ac- | cording to the circumstances. On the other hand if the person is a notor- fous drunkard, has a police record, or has in any other way incurred the displeasure of the authorities, he is allowed no liquor at all. For pur- poses of ascertaining the standing of the citizen in the community, an elaborate card catalogue system is maintained at the central bureau and all questions of allowing any person more or less than the ordinary amount of liquor are referred to this. The results of this system are al- ready remarkable. In 1914, the to- tal consumption of spirituous liquors was only 2,979,682 litres, compared with 5,004,642 litres for the year before. The decrease in 1915 has been even more marked. Welcome By (New Any Name. Haven Register.) If this be Indian summer make the most of it.—Boston Transcript. The subjunctive used correctly. There are “ifs” about Indian summer. It is a period whose time is as haz) as its air. The common habit of applying the term to any warm peri- od following the first frost in the autumn has been questioned, some maintaining that the true Indian summer comes not in September or October, but in Noveniber. There are those who are hasty in their conclu- sions about Indian summer, assuming that any relief from an early period of chill will answer for it.

This, it seem, would have removed the zealous effort of hotel proprictors to heir liquor trade as large as sle. But none of these expedients was successful. The total consumption of liquor was scarcely diminished. The amount of drunkenness in Sweden showed no decrease, and hospitals and medical records were as full of alcoholic patients and cases of ill- ness caused by alcoholism, as befove. It was evident that the decrease in the amount of liquor sold at hotels and bars was offset by the increased business done at wine stores where customers brought as much bottled spirits as they liked and took it home for consumption.

Your letter will be opened, read and answered by a woman, and held in strict confidence, it should be said that one warm day does not make an Indian summer any more than one swallow makes a sum- mer of the common variety, But when there comes, following a period of chill, perhaps of frost, a s son of warm nights and warmer days, abundant in sunshine and noticeably free from rain, that may fairly be called Indian summer, It may come at any time between the middle of September and the beginning of D= cember. In our locality, since the a¥s erage time for the first frost is lafe in September, it seldom comes befol October. It may, however, be delay! until November, or there may be & second period then. Indian summer in early December is not unknown in this part of New England. But lovers of the outdoor prize the lingering summer days, and to them such a season as this is highly wel- come. Its name and its limits matter not.
