there were at Etaple about sixty
American, English and French paint
ers. Some of the English and all OF
the French are now In the army. The
Americans bent all their effort toward
helping in any way they could, some
serving for several weeks at the can
teen which was set up by the French
people to feed the passing troops. Some
800 wounded are being cared for close
by and the town is full OF refugees.
Within the last month most of the
artists have left. Just at present Ny
ron Barlow and myself alone remain.
The vacant studios are now used by
the refugees, and also some OF the
artists homes. MY own studio is be-
ing turned into soup kitchen for the
very poor. Naturally. but little paint

new. There were laces made more than
a hundred years ago and laces made
quite lately. as well as embroideries,
wood carvings and other kinds Of hand
work. Betw cen two old Japanese prints
was hung one of the wood block prints
made by Miss Helen Hyde. which in
tone and in quality held its place to ao-
vantage.
All of these charming handwrought
things, possessing intrinsic beauty and
showing artistic as we'll as skillful eA-

the old Octagon parlor-a room so
well proportioned and designed. with
fine holdings and mantel which was
designed and executed over one hun

as a work Of artistic craftsmanship OF
high order. Such an exhibition as TINS
is a real revelation. and it would pc
well If there could be more Of a like

standard, u. c. B.
The Vinegar in question would appear
to be below standard. The following
method is a much better procedure for
obtaining the approximate acidity:
Procure "A 100 cubic centimeter grad
uate, reading in cubic centimeters. Meas
urc exactly cubic Ccntimeters of \the
vinegar by turning in enough OF the
sample to bring the bottom of the
curved surface of the column Of vinegar
to the sixth mark.
Turn this measured quantity into a
clear glass tumbler. Allow the grad
uate to drain well. Set the tumbler On
piece of white paper in good light
and add two drops of ph9nolpthalein
solution q gram of phenolpthaleiu to
100 cubic Centimeters of alcohoD. With
a medicine dropper add sufficient tenth
normal sodium in the mixture This
should require not less than 35 cubic
centimeters and not more than As cubic
centimeters. The amount of tenth nor
NAL hydrate necessary to produce the
first pink or red tinge divided by 10
indicates the percentage Of acetic acid
present in the vinegar. This, as stated,
should not be less than 3.5 nor more
than As per cent.
Shake the tumblcr gently after each
addition of the alkali. When the red
tinge is permanent, pour the contents of
the tumbler into the graduate. Take the
reading, and. from the result subStract
6 for the original cubic centimeters
of vinegar.

In a general way it may pe said that

HERE'S new VIG0R FOR
0VERW0RKED ST0MACHS

divers Red Cross Drug Store, the
popular druggists, have been in the
drug business long enough to have
their own opinion of the best way of
selling medicines. They say the plan
adopted by Mi-o-na, the great dys-
pepsia remedy, is the fairest they
have ever heard of. They don't be-
lieve that a medicine ought to be
paid for unless it does the user some
good. And Mi-o-na is sold under a
positive guarantee to relieve dys-
pepsia or to refund the money. You
simply leave so cents on deposit with
divers Red Cross Drug Store and
if, after you have used the box of
Mi-o-na you decide that it has done
you no good, all you have to do is to
tell them so and they will return
your money.
Hundreds of people have been re-
lieved of stomach agonies by using
this remarkable remedy. 1t is not
simply a food digester; it is medi-
cine that puts all of the digestive
organs into normal condition and
gives rudy, glowing, vigorous
health. A change for the better will
be seen after the first few doses oil
Mi-o-na, and it's continued use will
soon give the power to eat anything
at any time and not suffer distress
afterward. Use Mi-o-na and see how
much more there is in life.
