TEACHING NEW TRADES TO WAR GRIZZLIES

At big institution in Vienna there is school
for cripples, where training is being given to Aus
trian and Hungarian soldiers who have lost their
anatomies. Charitable persons are raising large
funds for the benefit of wounded soldiers and the
families of such soldiers, thus supplementing the
weekly amount paid by the Imperial Government
toward the maintenance of those families. The
training of the cripples in usual pursuits that they
can follow even in their crippled state, Is part of
the philanthropic plan.
The Vienna school is principally "a manual
training school specially adapted to the needs of
one-armed soldiers, with individual treatment and
tuition according to the nature of each ease" 1t
can readily be understood that the training has
to be individual. with right arm only
could not go through the same exercises one
with left arm only. The two might be able to
cooperate, however, as did the Engishmen in a
French theatre recently, who could not clap hands
separately because they had only one arm each,
but who were-able to applaud vigorously by COM
bining their resources.
At the school the cripples are taught tailoring,
shoemaking, carpentering, weaving and even draw
ing, painting, sculpture and music The one armed
architect who is principal of the school is surely in
sympathy with his pupils since their misfortune is
his also That he can offer them training which
will be to their different tastes whether they are
mechanically or artistically inclined, is evident
from the variety of branches included in the
school s curriculum
Some soldiers who are wounded in the may
be able to resume their regular occupations when
they return to their homes, but there are many
others who will be crippled so to prevent them
from continuing in their trades and these are the
unfortunates who need to be specially trained
The story is told of soldier who lost both his
legs in an engagement but who seemed to be very
happy about it and explained his cheerfulness by
saying that he was a tailor by trade and was so
glad that he had not lost his arms instead.
A tailor any other artisan who depends on the
skill of his hands for his bread and butter would
with the loss of his arms in war lose his trade or
with the loss of but one arm would at least have
to learn the trade again from the beginning There
will be many cripples in Europe when wars de-
struction is at an end, and there will be needed
many workers in all trades when reconstruction
begins. The cripples will have to be trained to
overcome their handcaps.

TAKE SAILS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat Less Meat If You Feel Backachy or
Bladder Troubles You-Salt Is
Fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their eff
forts to filter it from the system. Reg
ular eaters of meat must flush the kid
neys occasionally. You must relieve
them like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the acids, waste and poison,
else you feel a dull misery in the kid
ney region, sharp pains in the back or
sick headache, dizziness, your stomach
sours, tongue is coated and when the
weather is bad you have rheumatic
twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of
sediment; the channels often get irri-
tated, obligiug you to get up two or
three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any pharmacy; take tablespoonful in
a glass of water before breakfast for n
few days and your kidneys will then act
fine and bladder disorders disappear.
This famous salts is made from the acid
of grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for gen.
erations to clean and stimulate sluggish
kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder diseases.

WARE is FRANK ABOUT IT

While the public, perhaps, convinced itself long
go that the political influence of Senator Ware, of
Philadelphia, Is so potent that when he cracks the
fhlp ne can make the representatives in the Legis-
Rture from large section of that city do about
he pleases, it was not until yesterday that Sem
tor Ware made so bold as practically to admit it.
assuming that Senator Ware was correctly quoted
a statement purporting to have been made by
im,s which was printed in many different news
apers following the defeat of the local option bill
yesterday, the Senator is responsible for the fol-
Pwing:

1t fair to conclude from this statement that

Rer of voters,-he has not been of the habit of
eaving it to the duly representatives of

cinderella's Slippers Of Squirrel Skin

cinderella's Slippers Of Squirrel Skin
Cinderella never wore glass slippers.
The slipper that the prince fitted to
her small foot, and which her two ugly,
mean and scheming sisters tried in vain
to get into, was not glass. 1t was
made of squirrel skin. This blow to
a tradition dear to childhood was de-
livered by Ceeile Hugon, lecturer in
French literature to the Oxford Society
for Women s Education, in a paper on
the subject of fairy tales, read in Lon
don. When the Cinderella story was
turned from French into English the
translator mistook word. Perrault.
who wrote the tale in French, described
the slipper not as "soulier de verre, -
but as "soulier de vair. "Verrc"
and "vair' sound alike in French, but
"verre' means glass, while "vair'
means the fur of the squirrel. Miss
Hugon suggests that the slippers might
have been of gray, with a dainty trim
ming of squirrel about the top. Other
wise, they might have been all fur
top, but in nc case did Cinderella re-
ceive a pair of glass slippers>from her
fairy godmother and drop one in the
ball room for the prince to find.
