II ~ one OF the grim realities OF
war that men are far cheaper than
horses. They can be more easily re-
placed They are not SO costly to feed;
nor does what they eat involve the
bulk of transport necessary TO sns-
tain large cavalry force The horse
Is commodity. whose price may be
expected TO advance in this country

mands the sea is likely To have first

far more serious matter. because the
men can soon rest or be recruited.
but the lost horses can only be re-
placed at a. costly expenditure OF time.
No doubt the motor is responsible for
much Of the transportation in the
present war; hut IL cannot handle ar
iillery In the field, and cavalry cannot
charge on motorcycles
In the German staff record and
study OF the nocr war the highest
praise OF any general after Lord
Kitchener. was given the present Field
Marshal French. He has the rare tal-

The Eagle the other day carried an
item which seemed specifically Of

The little STORY told Of the re-
/ tirement Of Donate Gigantic. who has
run a bootblaek stand In front Of the
Eagle building ever since the pres
Ont building was opened. has been Il
bootblack IN New York for thirty
three years and has saved money
enough to retire on. During his thir-
ty-three years in this country he has
raised family lin the fear and adj
monition Of the Lord" as our Puri-
tan ancestors used 10 phrase II, and
four Of those children have naturally
found work in the Eagle plant as
they have grown up.
That Is precisely the sort of
immigration which has made the
United States strong and prosperous
from the beginning At first 1t was
English. later II was Irish and Ger
man. and il has since been enlarged
to include most Of the Aryan nations,
among them the sunny Italy from
which Gigantic brought his smile. Not
all Of II has had Glgantc's willingness
to work, his patience or his thrift, and
the Americanizing Of the mass has
been gigantic task which we have
sometimes insisted was beyond the
power Of our public schools, upon
which the work for the most part
falls. But there have been more OF
the God-feariug, thrifty sort Of this
Italian than of the morally or phssic- !
ally defective. while the children of
the good stock turn about and help

ers.

The Treatment Of
Influenza or La Grippe

II Is quite refreshing these days to read OF
clearly defined treatment for Influenza or
La Grippe. In an article in the Lancet
Clinic," Or. James Bell OF New York City,
SAYS he is convinced that too much mediea-
ton is both unnecessary and Injurious.
When called to a case OF la grippe, the
patient Is usually seen when the fever rs
present, as the chill which occasionally
uShers In the disease, has generally passed
away. DR., Bell then orders that the bowels
be opened freely with salts, Actoids' or
citrate OF nagnesia. For the high fever,
severe hee tache, path aud general soreness,
one Aati-kamnia Tablet every three hours
Is Qnickf followed by complete relief.

celled * headache, neuralgia and all pains.
