MIXTURE OF MANY TONGUES
Difficulty in Arriving at Perfect
Understanding.

The British Tommy Atkins is hard
put to 1t these days to know which are
friends and which are foes. Time was
when he classed them all as dirty
foreigners" but times have changed
and certain allied courtesy Is de-
manded. 1t Is told of one brave cor
poral who met a new kind of foreigner
on French soil and demanded his
nationality.
Hungarian" came the answer.
Ungarian, are yer? Well. I'm
blowed If ! know whether ter Jug yer
to me bosom or knock her bally block
off," remarked the perplexed defender
of the Union Jack.
Many are the stories Of the embar-
RAISING confusion of tongues among
the allies-French, Flemish. Russian,
Servian. Indian (three brands), and
several species of English. For 1t
Is rare that Londoner can under
stand the Scotch dialect In Its un.
alloyed purity, or the Cornish brogue.
Canadian slang, too, and the queer
mixture Of Maori that intrudes itself
into Australian English. or Of Boer
Dutch that sickles Ger the African
der's dialect make of so-called English
dozen different languages.

WHY SCRATCH7 RESlNOL
WILL STOP THAT ITCH

The moment that resinol ointment
touches itching skin the itching stops
and healing begins. That Is why doc
tors have prescribed 1t successfully for
nineteen years In even the sever
est cases of eczema, letter. ringworm,
rashes and other tormenting, disfgur-
ing skin eruptions. Aided by warm
baths with resinol soap, resinol oint-
ment makes the skin or scalp perfectly
healthy, quickly, easily and at little
cost. Try it yourself and see.
Resinol ointment contains nothing
harsh or injurious and can be used on
the tenderest or most irritated surface.
Practically every druggist sells res
mol ointment and resinol soap.-Adv.

COMING Into Line.

Two smartly dressed young men
were discussing the present economic
situation when a third whose holiday
suit, struggling hair and grimy hands
betokened a holiday at some distance
from a hairdresser's and hasty jour-
ney home.
WELL" observed number one, "the
pater says it's not only sensible but
it's patriotic to economic just now.
SO he and have given up the two BIS
and the mater the two 'T's.'"
His hearers looked puzzled till he
explained that the initial letters indi-
Gated respectively beer and baccy"
and tea and toast"
Since you put It In that way" said
number two, I've dropped the two
'C's'-coffee and cigarettes"
The third man, evidently feeling out
Of It, began to explain that he had only
just got back from the North of Scot
land and hadn't really had time, you
know. to think 1t out, but of course
he'd have to come into line, etc.
Don't worry. old chap" interposed
number one. "You go on just as you
are. and everybody'll know that you're
economizing on the two SIS. scissors
and soap!"

MRS. JOHN R. R|SON
OF PARIS, IS DEAD.
CHILDREN OF POPULAR WEST
TENNESSEE WOMAN AT Bed
SIDE AS END COMES.
HUSBAND HAS BEEN HONORED
Mrs. Rison Survived by Her Husband
And Four Children.-Was Loyal
Member of Church and Very
Popular Personally.

Paris.--At the family residence on
North Poplar Street, Mrs. Kinda Ed
munds Rison, wife of John r. Rison,
editor of the Paris Post Intelligencer
and past grand master Of Tennessee
Masons. passed away after an illness
of several months duration.
She is survived by her husband and
four children, three sons and one
daughter. Two of her sons, John R.,
Jr., and Sam e. Rison, reside in Mem
phis, where they are prominently con.
nected in business way. One son,
Jasper e. Rison, still schoolboy, re-
sides in Paris at the family residence.
Mrs. Emmett e. Reed, the only daugh-
ter, is a resident of Murfreesboro.
Tenn.
When the end came all her children
were at her bedside, the end having
been apprehended several days ago,
Mrs. Rison was the eldest daughter
of the late DR.. and Mrs. S. c. Edmunds,
two of the best known people in this
county, and her heritage from this
noble couple insured her nobility Of
character and q refinement which was
the occasion of much favorable COM
ment by a legion of friends and &C
quaintances.
She was a member of the Christian
Church and devoted wife and moth
or. Although she devoted much of
her time to her home, she found the
time up to the hour of her failing
health to attend to the voluminous
social duties which devolyed upon
her on account of her personal popu-
larity and splendor of her entertain
ments and as the wife of one who has
been honored in more ways than any
one man, perhaps, in West Tennessee,
he having been grand master of Ma
sons, president of the Tennessee Press
Association, clerk and master in chan
Gerry, president of the First National
Bank of Paris and other prominent
positions, many of which he now
holds. ~,

DoDGING THE BEATEN PATH
Doesn't Often Happen In
Real Life.

Congressman Robert l.. Dougherty
of North Carolina smiled when the
conversation turned to reversing the
order of things. He said he was re-
minded of the case of Bowers.
Bowers met benevolent party on q
railroad train one day, and as the &C.
Quaintance ripened bit he began to
spread before the other the history Of
his life.
When was a clerk in grocery
store" remarked Bowers, among 9TH
or things. II received only nine dol
lars a week. and. like many other
young men, fell in with bad compan-
ions and began to gamble, L"
II see," interrupted the benevolent
party, sadly, you were tempted and
took money which did not belong to
YOU"
"Oh, no." cheerily responded Bow
ers. I'm less than a month I won
enough money to buy the grocery"

As Pure Air 0auae.

II a housewife really wants health
full house she ought to keep growing
plants In her rooms-not for the pleas
ure of them only, but because they
form very excellent and practical
gauge Of the moisture and heat of the
house. The reason that most plants
will not thrive in the ordinary house
is that the ordinary house Is full Of
overheated bad air. This air is just
as bad for the family as for the Bos-
ton fern, but as children are tougher
than ferns the effect Is not noticed as
far as they are concerned. No wise
mother, however, ought to keep her
children In rooms where plants cannot
grow.-Harper's Bazaar.

AstonIshed Minister.

The proud father had come up from
the country to see his sailor son on
board his ship. He had never seen
battleship before, and accordingly
marveled thereat. Just as he caught
hold of the two ropes which hung over
the side to assist sailors to the deck,
he was somewhat surprised to hear
a changing Of bells-the eight bells
of seamen's time. As he stepped on
deck he met the officer Of the watch.
He saluted him and said, timidly:
II beg your pardon, sir. I've come to
see my son, Jack. but, pom my word.
didn't mean to ring 80 loud"

DEMAND FOR QUICK ACTION
Mrs. 6argainhunter Rudeiy Awakened
From Contemplation of That
Duck of a Hat.

AS usual, the road was ''up' and 80
was part Of the street, for that matter.
But 1t takes more than this to keep
Mrs. Bargainhunter at home. Her two
children comfortably ensconced In the
baby carriage, she sailed down the
yawning street.
"Oh, what darling of duck of a
sweet hiatt" she murmured. And, leav-
ing the carriage, she walked to the
shop window for closer look. Abb
sorbed in that darling Of q hat, she
gazed at 1t all unconscious of the fact
that the baby carriage had rolled away
into trench, until at last she was
awakened from her blissful dream by
the gruff voice of a workman.
Say. missus," he said, dyer want
these Riddles any more? Cos we're
just going to fill the hole up!"

A Sugar Plant.

An herb, called by the natives caa
