SENT TO PRISON FOR
 CANNING TO BE HERO
Private in German Army Must Serve Five Months For Assuming .
 Role While in Berlin.

tcorrespondence of the Associated Press)
 Berlin, Feb. 2s-While from day to day there are reported the awards of the coveted Iron Cross for bravery on the field, word comes occasionally of incidents of an opposite character.
 In this category falls the case of a private in one of the regiments sent to the eastern battlefront Just as his company was about to go into &C., ton the embryo soldier was taken i'll and was given months furlough.
 He promptly appeared in Berlin with a tale of having had his horse shot from under him, of having been wounded and having been saved from dying by his watch, which he said had been shattered by the bullet. In testimony he showed hole in his un- form.
 His tale was so realistic and was told with such becoming modesty that he infatuated an elderly woman, who showered gifts on him. This result in turn so went to his head that he presently appeared with sergeant's S strfpes-promoted by this time-and the insignia of the Iron Cross and cut a wide swath in feminine society. In cidentally he overstayed his leave.
 The inevitable has just happened. Prompted by jealousy, one of his new ly-acquired girl friends investigated and then promptly haled him before the police. A magistrate has decided that five months in prison will do the young man good.

PET ANIMALS AXE
 NEGLECTED IN PARIS
Stray Dogs Seem to Be a Part of By Product of War in French
 Capital.

SdpAtoAs
 (Correspondence of the Associated Press.'
 Paris, Feb. 28.-Stray dogs continue to be a sort of by-product of the war in Paris. Besides the animals inten- tionally abandoned, there are on the average about fifteen a day taken to the pound by their owners who are unable to feed them and who prefer to have their pets asphyxiated rather than turn them loose to their fate,
 The animals of the Geological sec ton of the Jardin des Plantes were never so neglected by the public, and for the first time in his interesting career. the pet bear Martin" who once required his favorite rabbits foot before he could be enticed from his den, is now glad to climb out of his pit and on the edge of the railing for anything that is eatable. The direc- tor of the Geological section has found it necessary to increase the ra- tiops of all his borders by reason of this abandonment.
 The sparrows that were formerly fed in the squares and public gardens by the sewing-gir from the dress makers establishment, from the rent
 
 thin and woe-begone. The large flock of pigeons of the Square de la Trim ite, which was formerly fed by thoughtful visitors, has been dis persed almost entirely in the search for better feeding places. Some of them have found their way to the Jardin des Tuileries where they share with the pigeons of that quarter the protection of the veteran 1etter-carrier Monsieur Pol, one of the features Of Paris familiar to every visitor. Mora- sieur Pops feathered friends have nothing to complain of excepting that they have been obliged to learn new roles imposed by the state of war. The exercises for which he trained them, have all been given a mili- tary character. The present favorite of the flock is a, .dignified bird who responds with the stately gravity to the name of General French. The flying corps is very large and responds readily to the order Tn the air."

CHASING THE RAINBOW.

That is what our nurses tell us when
we are children, isn't it?
And sometimes we learn that the
rainbow is bridge. and the thunder
is the roar OF the heavy wheels going
over it.
These are the stories that we hear
in childhood about the rainbow. Chill

A Valuable Suggestion
important TO Everyone

II is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkable degree and do a
tremendous amount IL work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by filtering the
blood
During the winter months especial
~ when we live an indoor life, the
kidneys should receive some assist
ance when needed, as we take less ex-
ercise drink less water and often eat
more rich heavy food, thereby forcing
the Kidneys to do more work than Ma
ture intended. Evidence of kidney
'ouble, such as lame back, annoying
bladder troubles, smarting or burning
brick dust or sediment, sallow com
pexion, rheumatism, may be weak or
irregular heart action, warns you
that your kidneys require help i'm
mediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her-
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing in
fuence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable sue
cess as a kidney and bladder remedy
is DR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
