WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL
With the publication today of the lat
est American note to Germany con-
cerning the sinking of the Lusitania.
officials of the United States and dip
lomats stationed in Washington are
generally discussing among them
selves the probable character of Ger
many's reply. Although no definite
information can be obtained as to the
manner in which the German govern
ment will receive the communication,
still official Washington believes that
the note will be received with due
courtesy and after being considered
will meet with the approval of the
Kaiser's counsellors.
This note, prepared by the presi-
dent, seems to open the door for a
possible settlement of all differences
between the two nations. 1t is couch
ed in strong language and though it
conveys the impression that Uncle
Sam will not tolerate further outrages
by Germany still it is friendly in
tone The note asks that the United
States be given assurance by Ger
many that American vessels and pas
sengers will be safeguarded. What &C
ton the United States will take in
case Germany refuses to give this as
surance, is not stated in the note.
Many officials today are wondering
what part of the note Secretary Bryan
could have objected to. The note is
friendly and carries many expressions
of good will Most officials here dis
agree with Bryan that there is any
chance of this note leading to wal
with Germany.

The Value Of "If You Please"

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
The Pennsylvania railroad proposes to
start a school Of manners. Courtesy
meetings are to be held, to teach those
who come In contact with the public in
polite.
Employees OF a transportation mpa
dealing with people In a hurry, are subject
to about every Irritating vagary Of the
human temperament. Ticket sellers, in
formation bureau clerks. baggage masters.
PENDANTS stand on the firing line and are
exposed TO a continuous fusillade from
people whose wits are temporarily in
allegiance to the time table, the missing
trunk or the defunct Communication ticket.
They get all the fool questions" there
are. But they must display an invariable
and the unjust. with soft answers they
must avert the wrath OF him in whose
face the train gate 10 closed. They must
not lose patience with the man or woman
who holds up the Tuning line at the win
dow by indecision.
In every kind OF business today the in
culcation Of courtesy is part OF the office
discipline. To market your wares in the
teeth OF keen competition IL to be gracious
to customers one by one. Difficult as it
10 to do 90, the public must be individual
lied. Each man must be made to feel
that his custom Is wanted, that the side
walk Is swept and the door Is opened and
the salesman stands expectant n the
goods are on the shelves Just for him. He
land not Just his pocket book-must be
made welcome. The deep rooted hostility
TO the. tipping system rests largely on the
surly incivility of many recipients who ac-
cept smal gratuities In contemptuous ST.
lenee.
THANK you Is easy to say, and the re-
suit Is likely to be out Of all proportion
to the trouble taken. Lawyers, doctors,
bankers. architects, who would win new
clients are not ashamed to be civil. In
every kind OF trade, PLEASE" and Thank
you" have entered into a successful part
nership. The costliest mistake In any
business is to hire n retain rude under
lings because they are cheap. They repel
customers. They spell ruin for their en-
ployer and defeat their own prospects OF
promotion. Every other personal habit is
inexpensive compared with chronic dis
courtesy.

LIFE WAS A TRAGEDY,
SAID IOWA WOMAN

Mrs. William Litzenberg of Monte
yuma. Iowa suffered from stomach
troubles for q long period. She grew
weak as a result of the failure Of her
digestive processes. She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy and showed her the way back to
health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. LitZenberg on her feet. She
wrote:
II have taken four bottles Of your
Wonderful Remedy. l can't be thank
full enough for il. | must say that IT
Is the best medicine that / ever tried.

life was worth living-had no appetite
everything l ate worked against me,
but now l can eat anything at all that
looks good. I feel so strong-have
been able to do a good days work
ever since I took the first bottle"
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 TO- and try 1t

Friendship In Politics.
From the Dayton News.

John H. Myers. who recently made the
race for mayor OF Oklahoma City, is eth
er a humorist OF is extremely wise in the
ways Of the woTld-and politics. Certain
~ he Is philosophical. for he says that
since the primary, 60 people ave told him
that they voted for him, whereas he re-
ceived less than 100 votes, n adds: Still
] do not question the results"
In filing his statement Of expense, after
the election, he puts down an item Of So,
which he says he gave to "moochers,''
meaning thereby the fellows who work
they car obtain This was to get rid
their support he says.
There is wtsdom-'to get rid Of them"
Every man who runs for office finds IT
cheaper TO give the "moochers' a little
something than to allow them to take up
his time. He doesn't count in getting
their support. He knows that support
doesn't come from those who are most un-
der obligations. II there Is a tragedy in
in American politics, II is that the people
who are under obligations to a man do
not vote for him. Somebody went to
James G.. Blaine once and told him a GER
tain man was against him. Il do not
know why he should be-" Blaine said. IT
never did anything for him in my life"
There was as fine a bit of irony as was
ever expressed, but II had experience back
OF 1t. Blaine had known many men for
whom he had done something, to oppose
him but he didn't know why O man for
whom he had never done anything, should
be against him.

Holy Land Wine and Honey.
the Wide World Magazine.

From the Wide World Magazine.
1t has been rightly said that the
antiquity. To this might be added its
infinite variety, for every town and
hamlet has a charm of its own
something that singles It out for spe-
cial notice and attention and makes II
different from its neighbors. Fol in
stance, Jaffa, the gateway Of the Holy
land. is famed the world over for its
delicious oranges, and, incidentally. for
its honey and wine. Joshua described
the country as q land flowing with
milk and honey. Substitute wine for
milk, and the ancient procurement
In still applicable.
1t is Palestine's unique geographical
position that enables her to produce
such fine honey. Here the flora Of
three different continents meet, and
this fact, coupled with other circum-
stances, has made the conditions in
Palestine ideal for honey culture. Some
time ago two brothers In Jaffa ran an
apiary on novel lines. They conceived
the Ingenious idea Of furnishing the
purposes throughout eight months Of
the year. Camping first at a low al
titude, they waited until the flowers
of that locality were over, and then
conveyed the hives on anne back to a
higher place, thus following up the
consecutive ~blossomlng OF different
flowers. They were even able to sep
arate the produce of these overworked
bees into Orange blossom honey"
thyme honey" and so on, with each
succeeding flower. BY using modern
extraction machinery and replacing
the combs, 100 hives were made to
yield no less than six ton OF honey in
the year. This Is nearly three times
as much honey per hive as the maxi
mum yield on the great honey farms
OF Australia and America

CAN YOU BLOW OUT
CANDLE WITH FUNNEL
From the Boston American.

From the Boston American.
To blow out q candle, using q funne
TO blow through, seems a ~ridiculously
easy thing to do. But ask any friend
Of u to try 1t and see what hap
ems. Ten to one he will try to blow
through b cup SO as to force his
breath through the narrow neck OF the
funnel. AS this In not an easy thing to
do he will flatten mouth n nose In
his ~endeavors, while trying to force his
face into the SINAI cup. Then he viii
reverse the tunnel and blow into the
neck. and when he does not succeed In
extinguishing the light he will blow
harder and finally he will admit that
he is beaten. ..
In blowing through the neck Of the
funnel he has directed h funnel d.
rectly at the light, so that the flame In
exactly opposite to the place where
the neck OF the funnel joins the cup.
You, on taking the funnel from him,
incline the funnel so that its proper
edge Is on a level with the light. You
blow gently. The light is extinguished
at the first puff without any OF the
desperate effort which your friend
put forth.
II you ponder q moment you will
realize why you succeeded and why
your friend failed. His breath on enter
ing the cup or funnel spread In all
dlreCllOnS, ana the Imy current Oh ar
was dispersed upward and downward.
90 that. as he neatly leveled the cen
ter OF the funnel 1t the flame, no CUR
rent OF air reached II.
You, on the contrary, hold the up
per wall OF the funnel on q level with
the flame. The current Of air started
by you breath, on reaching the edge
OF the wall ,streamed onward in the d.
rection given II by the restraining wall
n on reaching the flame snuffed II
