Transforming an Enemy

IF the statement is true that the French are
L converting absinthc into an ingredient for
the manufacture of high explosives, they are
merely converting an insidous enemy into
an openly hostile force and diverting it's male
violence from themselves to the Germans. In
other words, they are Transforming an enemy
into an ally.

OF lands you'd like 10 view,

HONEYM00NERS walk
ACROSS The COUNTRY
Took Pair Two Years to Make
the Long Trips.

Harrisburg, Pa.-Journeys across the
continent twice on foot within a Pc
r1od Of two years marked the unique
honeymoon trip taken by Mr.. and Mrs.
John Broxman, who live near here
In the twenty four months that they
have been away the young married
couple have traversed the parched
sands Of the semitropical countries Of
the south, the fertile valleys Of the mid
die west and the rugged mountain
paths OF the far western states. They
are happy and have returned to their
home without reporting mishap.
In making their long journey on foot
Mr.. and Mrs. Broxman have won both
fame and fortune, for not only were
they cordially welcomed in all the
towns and cities through which they
passed, but as the result Of their long
hike they have been presented with q
large sum Of money by a brother-in-law
OF Mrs. Broxman in California, and
henceforth they will make their home
on farm which has been purchased
by the bridegroom near Harrisburg.
Mr.. and Mrs. Broxman were married
two years ago and had planned to
spend their honeymoon quietly in the
east But Mrs. Broxman's brother-in-
law in Santa Anna, CAL, told them that
he would present them with substan-
tial sum Of money If they would take
as their honeymoon trip "stroll' from
Harrisburg to California and back
again. They decided to try to win
the prize held out t., them, SO 1mme-
dtately after the wedding ceremony
was performed they started on their
long hike.

1.-The case Of the girls and women

servation that there is much more
drinking among women than there was
twenty years ago. AS men are giving
up the habit, women are drinking to a
greater extent than they used to do"

every state was under the influence Of
the liquor interests, but that now only
two, one eastern and one western, are

York. Now the men who refrain from
drinking at banquet are in the MAORI

Fourth Of July A ftermath.

Aftermath of the Fourth of July

Durfee ON Tuesday. AS the story

boys" who had commenced to cele-

Or earlier in the week-late on
Sunday evening carried their per.
formance to the point where the
marshal found it necessary to butt
in with the suggestion that they
"use the soft pedal'' or get off the
street. But the program of these lib
erty-loving citizens, banking upon
the protection of an over-indulgent
community, was not thus to be in
terrupted by one lone limb of the
law. "The boys" we're disposed to
argue, and when the marshal became
more insistent than was to their lik-
ing they just took him down and
sat on him; and when he called for
help they answered him with lul-
laby that could be heard for blocks
around. Getting to his feet again,
the marshal arrested Billy Lively
and Franco LeSage and took them
to the village Jail, followed by a
good part Of the crowd. AS he was
about to put them in, clenched fist
shot out from the darkness and fell

ing advantage of the situation, pris-
oners and all skidaddled. Lively
and LeSage were brought before
Judge Durfee Tuesday to answer
charges filed against them by Mar
shal Pinkerton, and pleading guilty,
Lively was assessed ten dollars and
LeSage five dollars and costs.
The lenlency shown them, for
which they were thankful, was be.
cause it was Fourth Of July esua-
pade.
The marshal also made complaint
against John Anderson for drunk
eness. He denied the charge, was
tried by jury and acquitted.
1t would easy to "draw moral

Let every self-respecting, peace
loving, law-abiding citizen do that
for himself. It can't be unpro6ta-

DEAR FRIEND WAS MOTHER.

Girl, Given Away Because Of Poverty,

Lacrosse, Wis.-Hazel "West," If
teen-year-old girl, who was taken away
from Fred West, her foster father, by
Judge Brindley because he had neg
lected her, has found her mother in a
woman she has known all her life as
a dear friend. Mrs. Fred Green, the
mother. appeared before Judge Brlnd-
ley and told the remarkable story of
how she had given Hazel to the Vests
when she was baby because of her
inability to care for the baby.
A mysterious telephone call to the
Home Of the Friendless, where Judge
Brindley placed Hazel, effected the re-
union Of mother and daughter. The
message said that If Hazel would come
to one Of the downtown stores she
would be given a heavy coat. Hazel
went downtown alone and did not
come back. Investigation revealed her
at the home Of Mrs. Green, who had
met her in the store and told her the
story of her parentage.
In explaining the case to the judge
Mrs. Green said: II was the mother OF
another child when Hazel was born,
and we were too poor to care for both
OF them, and at Mrs. Vests urgent
plea let them take her.

soned soldier cannot stand such excess.
Among the convalescents many cases
OF rapid pulse and slight anemia are.
I believe, due to tobacco"
Gas poisoning is spoken Of also.
The high explosive shells, the hand
grenades and shrapnel all do great
damage, but none Of them Is quite so
frightful as the deadly gases. Victims
Of gas poisoning do not always die at
once, but drag out a lingering and
painful death, caused by suhocative
swelling in the lungs.
Professor Osler has seen thirty cases,
Of which number only three were very
severe.
"The other patients" he says, "were
convalescent, and nothing amiss
could be determined on physical ex-
animation, but in several cases there
was functional disability. One man
had suppression of the breath sounds;
neither the inspiratory or exploratory
murmurs could be heard distinctly.
Anatomically, it is an acute bronchitis.
The gas appears to be chlorine. Masks
saturated with solutions Of sodium hy-
perchlorine, with glycerin to keep the
material moist, appear to be an eff
cient protection. Certainly the gas Is
a great addition to the frightfulness Of
war;"

New York.-sir William Osler, regius
professor Of medicine at Oxford, gives
another interesting side light on Eng
land as seen from the medical view-
point His letter Is published in the
Journal Of the American Medical as
sociation. Types OF nervous disorders
seen very rarely In this country or In
Europe have manifested themselves as
a result of the tra0rdinary stress
and strain Of trench fighting. One of
these disorders is a temporary paral-
ysis without actual injury due to close
proximity Of an explosion. This Is
known to military surgeons as "shell
shock paraplegia."
Another is the psychic knockout" -" In
which the victim remains In a stu
porous state, with loss Of memory and
complete speechlessness or stammer-
ing. Recovery follows in a few days,
as rule, but extreme nervous irrita-
bility may persist for weeks.
In many cases the walking gait is
changed In all sorts of curious ways.
One remarkable case is described In
detail by the patient himself. Here
the effort at balancing the body when
walking resembled a tight rope walk
er's efforts.
Commenting on his experience with
soldiers, Professor Osler says that
trench warfare Is evidently q nerve
racking business" causing all sorts of
troubles from simple nervous break
down to severe functional disorders.

consisting of patriotic songs by the
audience and speaking. DR.. Hicks
delivered and address of welcome,
and A. B. Hostetter, of Duluth, was
the orator of the day. Mr.. Hostel

Before the contests there was a
base ball game between the Grand
Marais and Grand Portage mines,
which was witnessed and enjoyed
by as large an audience as ever as
sembled on the local base ball field.
The Grand Marais nine showed up
in good form, playing strong
game. The visitors presented a
natty appearance in their new uni
forms. The nine was only lately
organized and was without practice
or training. The game resulted In
a very one-sided score-23 to 2,
only five innings being played.
There was moving picture show
at the pavilion in the evening and
dances at the Happy Hour Hall and
at the village hall.
