JUSSERAND POPULAR
IN WASHINGTON
French Ambassador Is Also the Suavest,
Cleyerest and Busiest Foreign
Representative in Wash

Washington, Nov. 9.--Jean Adrien An
tome Jules Jusserand is his name, am
bassador extraordinary and plenipoten'
tiary Of France his station, and the
suavest, cleverest, busiest, and most pop
ular foreign representative at the capt
tai, his reputation.
When it comes to real diplomating,
the dapper little man who is accredited
to the United Staes from Paris has
everything on these shores beat to
FRAGILE, as one Of our most distinguished
statesmen would express it. There isn't
an accomplishment from tennis to pub
lie speaking, that Jusserand doesn't per-
form gracefully and well-anc always
with the purpose Of letting the fact sink
in that France Is Damon to the Pythias
OF United States.
In the days when Colonel Roosevelt
swung the big stick for amusement and
the tennis racquet for exercise, there
was no single party in the capital whc
was more willing TO submit to graceful
defeat-40 to love--than Jean ct cetera.
And, necessarily, there wasn't man
at Washington who was a more boon
companion--not that Jusserand couldn't
play tennis once in while when he let
himself loose. Occasionally he did.
Jusserand was also indispensable to

OF THE GRIP
Tonic Treatment Is Necessary

A single attack Of the grip may mean

are not taken to restore the blood and
drive out the lingering poisons that

disease.
The danger from the grip is seldom
over when the characteristic symptoms.
the fever, the catalrh, the headache and
the depression of spirits pass away.
The grip leaves behind il weakened vital
powers, thin blood, impaired digestion
and over-sensitive nerves--a condition
that makes the system an easy prev to
