WORO PICTURE
OF THE. UHLANS

Here is a description of the Uh-
lans, the famous German cavalry
which has figured so prominently
in the terrible battle Of Liege, as
given by Max Socha, head Of the
German-American alliance of South
ern California.
The Uhlans arc more feared than
any German fighting men. They
carry ~lances, carbines and revolv-
ers. They wear blue coats, with
yellow trimmings, black trousers,
high boots to the knees and a Pc
culiar helmet. 1t is like the ordi-
nary helmet, but above it rises a
large square of metal with a little
tuft Of horsehair sticking from the
top.
Up to a few years ago the Uh-
lans were the only cavalry that car
ried lances. Now all the German
cavalry carry them. That is why
the Uhlans we're so feared above
all others in the war of l87O-l87l.
There are usually sbouttw regi-
ments of Uhlans with every army

originated from a province in Ger.

A LEGEND OF MEXICO

The coat of arms of the republic
of Mexico, which occupies the
center or white bar of the flag and
consists of a beautiful device repre-
senting an eagle perched upon a
cactus What in Mexico is called
nopah devouring a serpent, is in
timately connected with the history
of the people. In the beginning of
the fourteenth century the ancient
Mexicans mr. Aztecs after wander
ing for a long time around the
Mexican valley looking for a place
to build their city, after the terri.
BILE snfferings and adventure on
the southwestern border of Lake
Tecoco in 1875.
There they halted, for in front
of them they beheld what naturally
they considered an suspicious omen
from their gods. An immense royal
eagle Of extraordinary size and
beauty stood upon q cactus grow
ing in the crevice of a rock washed
by the waves of the lake. In its
talons it held a serpent and it's
broad beautiful wings opened to
the rising sun.
Obeying the mandate Of their
oracle that there they should build
their city, they set to work, and
by driving piles into the marshes
with no other material at hand but
frail reeds and rushes the founda-
tions Of the great Tenochitlan, the
chief city Of the Aztecs and the
site of the modern City of Mexico
were laid.- philadelphia Ledger.

THE CAUSE OF HARD TIMES

An exchange that ras been figur.

the conclusion that they are caused
by the fact that most people buy
more than they produce. 1t says:

fencing; we throw away our ashes

hides and buy rope; we raise dogs
and buy hogs; we let u MANURE

KILLED BY TRIBESMAN

Johnny Lancaster, the Indian
murdered Wednesday, at the lower
end Of Lake Tahoe, 20 miles from
Truckee, IS believed by the officers
to be Johnny Lee, a Washoe Indian
fisherman who is known in Reno
and who has had trouble before.
The killing is supposed to be the
result of a tribal feud. The body
of Lancaster was found by Johnny
May, another Indian. The body
was buried at Gardnerville Thurs
day. Lancaster had been employed
to furnish fish for a trout bake for
the Red Men, who were in session
at Truckee, and a sum of money
had been paid in advance. He was
guarding a number of fish in a
water box when killed and these es-
capped, forcing the lodge entertain
ment committee to change its plans.
The slayer Of Lancaster crept up
behind and threw a sack over the
victims head, pulling it tight and
stranglipg Lancaster.

a constitutional disease requires

new capital of Canada, Brazil, Ar
gentina, Mexico and other coun-
tries and at such a time the pres
tige OF the United States would be
immensely enhanced if. it were to
take the place Of Europe and meet
the pressing needs of these borrow
ing countries. 1t is possible that
the United States may participate
in the great loans that will have to
be raised in Europe if almost the
whole continent becomes engaged
in war. Possibly the participation
will be indirect rather than direct.
For the United States to gain
benefit from the position as the
wealthiest nation III the world, it is
essential that American investors
should not only have confidence in
the future of their own country,
out also believe that, war or no
war, the world would continue to
progress.
In brief a great war in Europe
will give the United States an OPP
portunity of assuming the post of
world banker, by supplying capital
freely to countries and individuals
in all parts of the globe who need
it and can provide the required Sc
curity.
Should the American people take
advantage of the golden opportun-
ity offered them by the outbreak of
war it will mean hot diminished

Value of Fruit Acids.

1t Is thought that acid fruits induce
rheumatism. The contrary is true.
Fruit acids taken into the system by
4 person, who has rheumatism act
beneicially, and actually have the eff
feet of increasing the alkalinity OF the
blood. Experiments have proved this
c~onclusively. Thus a person who has
too much uric acid IN the blood should
for a time eat fruit or acid fruit juices
in large quantities.
