NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC
SOCIETY'S WAR PRIMER

WASHINGTON. d. c., Nov. IT,
The National Geographic Society, OF
this city. today gave. out the follow
ing facts concerning East Prussia
Germany and the Department Of
Aines, France. which are the scenes
OF much lighting at the present time
EAST PRUSSIA is one of this
sternest regions of civilized Europe
From the shores OF the Baltic south
ward there is q great sweep of even
sands, fat and dreary, much of 1t I'M
cheered by the relieving green Of the
forest. Finally the sand wastes end
and the lake country, covering the
southern half of the province, be-
gins.
East Prussia lies beyond the beat

heretofore annually have invaded
Germany. A few, irregulars, among
them conscientious students oi

believers in duty, should be found.

AS one grows old the waste of the
system becomes more rapid than re-
pair, the organs act more slowly and
less effectively than in youth, the cir
culation is poor, the blood thin and
digestion weak.
Yinol, our delicious cod liver and
iron tonic without oil is the ideal
strengthener and body-builder for old
folks, for it contains the very elements
needed to rebuild wasting tissues and
replace weakness with strength. VinoI
also fortifies the system against colds
and thus prevents pneumonia.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ca.
says: 'If people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, am sure you

tears in his eyes and anxiety in his
face as he said:

big boy, as he dashes into the
house Has she fixed that rip in
my coat?"
Where can mother be-" says the
big girl who wants her waist all
buttoned up behind.
Where is your mother, children?'
asks the husband and father as he
comes in from his work and looks

Is it not simply wonderful how
many people want mother? Is she

Mrs. Mother has the only hands
that can Danish the pain. the only
voice that will soothe to sleep, the
only kiss that will heal the bruise
the only words that will settle the
disputes. She is the only one
who knows where every single thing

Goddess of Liberty for more than
twenty years has thrown the light
far out at sea, guiding the stranger
into safe harbor, and the home
bound traveller back to his native
land.
Against the foundations of that
wonderful statue, the waves have
beat in vain; the wild storms lash
ing the waters into madness have
whipped unrelentingly around that
emblem of love and liberty, and
fallen harmless into the sea.
We like to contemplate the mean
ing of that monument. We find a
pardonable pride in realizing that it
stands within the gates of our be-
loved country. The bronze in
which the statue is cast. loses its
stubbornness, as we recall the fact
that when the artist wanted a form

cOnstancy, he chose that of WON

the war will end. Preparations are
being made for the winter campaign.
The local college instruction says
that 1t Is awful to see the young men
returning from the battleields Grip
pied and paralyzed and looking like
old men. The people do not know
where their own are and eagerly visit
the wounded in the hospitals asking
them If their sons are dead or living
and where they have been sent. When
the war is over Miss Heyberger says
the crippled and health-wrecked vic
tins of the struggle will return to
their homes unfit to work in the fac
tories and with government support
withdrawn, will find themselves in
terrible straits. AT present their
families are being cared for by the
government but this support will cease
with the cessation of the conflict. Miss
Heyberger is optimistic about the out
come of the war in that it will mean
more freedom to the Slavs in Austria,
and that indications point to the free
dom of Poland and Bohemia.
