THE REAL HEROES

cussing the food situation in the diff
ferent warning countries, notes that
France has had mo complaints
about scarcity of food--nor about
anything else for that matter" The
aside is entitled to little attention.
France has been the grim, game,
determined, silent, uncomplaining
one of the warning countries. A year
ago we would all have been sure
that France would be the vocal MEM
Der of the concert; that tempera-
ment would overflow; that eloquence
would be irrepressible, and patriot
ism eternally effervescent. Instead,
we have seen Germany and England
do vastly more talking, more ex-
planning, more apologizing, more
fussing around.
France has had the burden of the
war on her soil; the struggle has
come home to her as to no other
combatant; but France has, had no
word of complaint. She has asked
no consideration, no sympathy, no
help; and she has gloriously proved
that she is quite capable Of taking
care of herself without them. She
has produced the greatest soldier of
the war, in Joffre; she has won its
greatest battle, at the Marne; she
has stood alone the first shock of the
action, and come out of it more con.
fident than ever. She has had money
to loan to the minor allies, and has
loaned it. She has maintained her
business on a sound basis, her cur
rency is secure, imitation has been
avoided. Facing the issue of life or
death, and steadfast in determination
that though she die, she would de-
serve to live, France has been the
fine national figure of them all. She
had no time to waste conversing
about it; she got her gun and went
out where the shooting was, and sud-
denly the world discovered that no.
body shot quite so we'll as the
Frenchmen, nobody was quite so
willing to be shot at, nobody was
less concerned about being killed,
nobody was SO willing to run for
ward or so reluctant to run in any
other direction.
The battle of the Marne, and the
grueling retreat that had preceded
it, really broke the back of the Ger
man offensive. There we're possibly
$4,000 British troops in France at
that time. They did heroic work,
but the million and half of French
men, with the generalship of Joffre,
won the battle, and probably would
have won it if there had not been an
Englishman in uniform on French
soil. Yet the world got most of its
news from British sources, and nat
urally enough good many people
got the pitifully distorted notion
that the little British army under
French had won the campaign. There
could not be a more hopeless mis-
take, or a greater injustice to the
Frenchmen.
But never word of complaint, of
resentment, of feeling. Their bust.
ness is just to fight and win; they
are glad of the help that has come to
them, but if they didn't have it they
would fight without it. No difference
who gets the credit and the glory;
to win is the matter in hand. Othe,

A good rule to follow in looking for
the return OF the bluebirds in the spring
is this: When the ice begins to break
up in the river it Is time for the blue
birds to appear. In 1913 saw my first
bluebird on March s. in 1914 on March
4, and In 1915 on Feb. IA. the earliest
record have ever made. The ice COM
menced going out of the river about
the 18th and on Sunday morning. as
wakened. l heard the SOFT ana gentle
calls OF the bluebirds as they flew north
over the town. On Feb. %, stood In
the midst of a thicket of sunac and
saw bluebirds by the score feeding all
about on the abundant sumac berries.
After their spring arrival they remain
with us until about the first OF Novem-
Der. when again they go south for the
winter. While here they raise two
broods of funny, specified young. The
nest is hollow fence post. a deserted
woodpecker hole. or some similar stu
alton. This is lined with grass and
feathers before receiving the four to six
pale blue eggs. After the two families
are raised they begin to gather into

and country homes until driven out by
the English sparrow and cat--two
aliens brought to this country by man
which have proved seriously destructive
to our native birds.
TO me the bluebird Ia the most
beautiful of our birds. There lis no
color in nature to be compared TO the
deep rich blue Of tho adult male, strik-
ingly contrasted to the rufous Of his
breast. He arrives at n time when
eevry bird lover is anxiously looking
for the return OF tine birds anu is
doubly welcome because OF his message
of spring.
Coming first in scattered bands. the
bluebirds soon appear In immense
numbers until sometimes the trees seem
to have blossomed over night with
chestnut and blue flowers. After the
flood tide of migration you will find
only scattered pairs and you know that
they have settled down to the business
OF raising their families. Then you are
assured of seeing them in their own
particular location for many days to
come always barring. of course, any

How to Gain Weigh.
A Pound a Day

Thin men and women who would like
to increase their weight with 10 or as
pounds OF healthy "stay there" fat
should try eating little Sargol with
their meals for while and note results.
Here Is q good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with
every meaL--for two weeks. Then
weigh and measure again. It isn't u
question Of how you look or feel or
what your friends say and think. The
scales and the tape measure will tell
their own story. and most any thin man
or woman, can easily add from fivo -
by following this simple direction. And
best of all. the new fiesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat,
but mixing with your food. It turns the
fats sugars and starches of what You
have eaten. into rich. ripe fat producing
nourishment for the Tissues and blood
prepares 1t in an easily aasimilated
form which the blood can readily ac-
cept. All this nourishment now passes
from your body AZ waste. But SarHVl
stops the waste and does It quickly and
makes tho fat producing contents OF
the very same meals you are eating
now develop pounds and pounds OF
healthy flesh between your skin and
bones. Sargol Is safe. pleasant. effici-
ent and inexpensive. Mcbride q VIII
