|S WELL PREPARED
Germany Thoroughly Organized
 to Meet War Strain.
Neutral Observer of London Times De- clares Empire Shows Less Disturb ance Than Other BelIigerents-
 Determined to Fight to End.

Cologne.-The neutral observer" of the London Times, who has been trav- cling through Germany, declares that the efficiency of the people is as great today as ever and that the force of all the people is concentrated scientifically on the work of defense. says a dis patch to the semiofficial Cologne Ga zette. The neutral observer, to his great surprise, arrived in Berlin pune tually and without mishap. He thus describes the capital:
 "I found in Berlin the cold. metallic, precise click of a great machine, not the throbbing heart of an empire. It is the most magnificent organization the world has ever seen It is man reduced to an equation of efficiency. Of each in- dividual is required about one-half the effort of which he Is capable. The re- suit Is that not only is the nation ann ply provided for any emergency, but ordinary life is less disturbed than in any other belligerent country
 After six months of war Germany seems to me almost as strong as on the first day. closely united. little dis turbed. The civil life of the nation appears to continue as in time of peace.

SIL0AM SPRINGS MAN
 GETS BACK HEALTH

John M. Roach of Siloam Springs, Ark, was long a sufferer from stom- ach troubles and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe. He was congested, unhappy. nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van ished. He wrote:
 When your trial treatment was received I was getting better on an- other treatment, so I deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously I have had to just wear out such attacks. I thought this a good test. 1 took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and have felt like new man ever since
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per manent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee-if not satis- factory money will be returned.-Adv.

Debating AIoft.

When the military aeroplane is scouting, it usually carries two men, Ono is the pilot, who runs and steers the craft; the other is the observer, who marks the placing of the hostile troops, the position of their guns, the move ment of trains, and the like. The observer also makes many sketches of the ground over which he is fly ing work that often interferes with his writing notes and memoranda. In certain conditions of flight, too it is often hard for him to use a pencil and paper. To obviate that difficulty the military aeroplane, says the Scien- titic American, now frequently carries a photograph, with speaking tube running to the mouth of the observer. so that by talking into the machine at any time during the flight he can re- cord his observations, and still have his hands free for his field glass or his sketching pencil.

MISTAKE MADE BY MOTHERS
Effort to Exercise Too Great Re strant on Child Is Deprecated
 by Writer.

In the Woman's Home Companion appears the first of series of articles on the care of children entitled Your Children's Clothes" The author tells the following story and gives some good advice:
 "A child's clothing is a factor of vrey great importance in the develop ment of the body and character. Last summer at the seashore a mother complained to me of her four-year-old boy. Johnnie cannot keep his clothes clean for five minutes,'
 T watched the little boy at play, and though l saw the truth of the mothers complaint my sympathies were decidedly with the little boy, be- cause the person at fault was not the child, but the mother All that morn ing the little boy was harassed and suppressed as he probably had been from his earliest childhood. by such phrases as: Don't, Johnnie, you will get your clothes dirty
 Here was a child whose develop ment was stunted and sacrificed for the sake of his clothes. He had never been given chance to play freely. to exercise freely, to learn to do things by the actual doing of them. and so, therefore, he naturally had never gained control over his muscles. He was aabby and clumsy he stum- bled over everything. he could hardly throw a pebble into the water without falling into it. This child. though ap- parently we'll and strong. and bright enough was practically helpless phys ically, and by this lack of muscle CO., ordination his mentality and spirit were affected"

 Dear Wife: l am still alive. and have received your bundle. If the boy is bad. spank him. Greetings. Adolph.' 2
 Shortly after came second:
 Dear Bertha: am still alive, which surprises me very much. If the boy still is naughty. spank him again. Greetings. Adolph"
 The third was in the form of a photograph of Adolphs troop. showing him decorated with the iron cross. No mention. however, was made of the medal. and the picture merely bore on the reverse side this brief note:
 Dear Bertha: I was wounded but am well again, and tomorrow go at 1t again. If the boy is naughty. box his ears. Greetings. Adolph."
 Perplexed, the wife wrote her hus- band demanding to know how he had received the iron cross. and received the following reply:
 Tt was very simple about the iron cross. The major ordered me to stand still. and the sergeant-major pinned it on. Greetings. Adolph.'

Albert Pankopf, seventy-eight years old, bent and white-haired, danced blindfolded among IS eggs, laid in two rooms at intervals of foot, for several minutes without breaking a shell.

After voyaging 33,000 miles between the United States and Brazil, both of which countries have denied him ad- mission. Nathan Cohen, appropriately termed the Wandering Jew" has just been doomed to another six weeks trip back to Brazil. He originally came here from Brazil, but the author ities deported him back to Brazil be- cause it was reported he was mentally unsound. Our neighbor in the south ern hemisphere refused to allow him to land and the steamship company has been forced to furnish him with passage back and forth between the countries. He has travelled 33,000 miles for $45 the price of single steerage ticket, and there is little hope that his ceaseless voyage will soon end. The Hebrew Sheltering and I'm migrant society has interested itself in the case and maintains that the sea life has made Cohen sound of mind and 1t has applied to Washington to have him examined before a board of special inquiry.
