America admires a good sportsman-by
which we mean the man who takes his

cheering for the winner. 1t Is this ele-
ment In our national character which has
enabled us to Withstand the stress of
many hard fought campaigns, emerging
therefrom az firmly united. as much one
people,. as when no issue sharply divided
us INTO hostile political camps.
Hence we will view with especial sat-
isfaction Premier Asquith's appeal to his
followers to backstand Loyalty, heartily.

MT. Asquith has shown himself well
worthy. all our encomiums-not only a great
politician. but a greater patriot. His care
to vindicate his former cabinet colleagues
from personal attack upon him lays foun-
dation for continued cordial relations be.

whisky by women who suffer at their

objection to the alcoholic beverage.
Possibly quinine is of some service in
breaking up a cold.
These are about the only uses for
q,linine. In its field il is without an
equal. Given uselessly. or needlessly.
it is j nuisance. and it is safe to a
that half the quinine given is wasted
or worse. IL the wasted quinine was
saved and used properly on persons in
fected with malaria. that disease would
be wiped out in two Years.
Quinine is a poison. II ups.ts the
stomach. it profoundly affects the ner-
vous system ii disturbs the hearing, it
has produced blindness. and it induces
a rash. IT is the opinion of men who
practice medicine in the Iazoo delta
that much of the hematuria is due To
the improper use of %Quinine taken as
chill tonicS.
lpecac is the dried root of a small
plant which grows in Brazil and CO.

tent in destroying t.ie amoeba of dysen-
terry as are cinchona and q|uinine in de-
stroying that of malaria.
f.metin is usually given hNpodermi-
cally. ipecac is given as a powder. in
capsules or pills. and in the form of the
fluid extract.
lpecac is better known to most peo-
pie as an emetic and as an ingredient of
cough medicine.
Dover's powder is a mixture of 10
grains of powdered ipecac. 10 grains Of
powdered Guinine. and so grains of
sugar of milk.
lpecac is effective as an emetic. 1t is

about as good an ingredient as we have
for a cough medicine, 1t is of some
service in breaking up a cold and it is
a specific for amoebic d%vsentery.

Stockton Baker finds the American boy

lighters. The kingdom of boyhood is
ruled by the adventures who navigate the

Juvenile imagination nave undergone a

Battle Over Ancient Tomb.
Percival Gibbons, in the London
Chronicle,

In the foreground of the British troops
view stands the Butte de Warlencourt,
the mysterious tumulus concerning whose
origin nobody upon the countryside can
captains and of kings in wars outlived
and forgotten. 1t used to be a green hump
rising abruptly beside the big road. 60
feet high and 1N yards or so at its base.
There was a path mp its slope and a bench
and an arbor on its summit. and scars
here and there upon its TANKS where
ant;quaries had burrowed into the Dit
black tonbs beneath it. 1t was a derelict
of history adrift upon the sea of Time:
but now history has captured it and made
it fast forever.
Al least two great dugouts for large
numbers of men nave been located with
in the Butte. and besides there are the
old sepulchral chambers where German
dropped from the ruined sides of kings
and find shelter from the tornado of our
guns.
This is an age when the living. seeking
security in a perilous world, go to the
in the Butte-that will come
later-but / recall how. IN the beginning
of last year, j came out Of the Schlussel-
burgskN trench in the acid chill of dawn
and rode up to the Polish village of Med
a labyrinth of vaults. And there. stoop-
ing through a narrow stone arch, the light
of my electric torch shone on crouching
and lying figures who seemed to glow in
and black-the refugees from Lovitch in
their curious colored costumes. They lived
and slept and ate and died and bore chill
dren IN the alcoves and recesses of the
crypt. between the cpe collins of dead
abbots and pious benefactors of the
church. while from without the futile vio-
lence of the guns came muffied and dimin.
ished to those hospitable graves.

Lady Of the Red cross.n
From ST. Nichola

An incident that occurred at Antietam
Is typical OF Clara Barton's quiet eff
ticiency. According to her directions,
the wounded were being fed with bread
and crackers moistened in wine, when
one of her assistants came to report
that the entire supply was exhausted,
while many helpless ones lay on the
field unfed. Miss Barton's quick eve
had noted that the boxes from which
IN wine was taken had fine ndian
meal as packing. Six large Kettles
were at once unearthed from the farm
house In which they had taken a
ters, and o o her men were carrying
ucket of hot cruel for miles over the
Fields where lay hundreds of wounded
and dying. Suddenly, in the midst Of
her labors, Miss Barton came upon the
surgeon In charge sitting alone, gaz-
which flickered uncertainty in the mid
die of the table.
Tired. doctor" she asked sympa-
thetically.
Tired indeed" he replied bitterly:
tired of such heartless neglect and
-carelessness. What am i to do for my
1000 wounded men with night mere
and that inch of candle all the light 1
have or can get?"
Miss Barton took him by the arm
and leo him to the door, where he could
see near the barn scores of lanterns
cleaning like stars.
What is that" he asked amazedly.
The barn is lighted" she replied,
and the house will be directly
Where did you get them?" he
gasped.
Brought them with me-"
How many have you?"
All you want-four boxes"
The urgeo looked. at her for a
moment as II he were waking from a
dream: and then, as IL it were the only
answer he could make. fell to work.
And s. 1t was invariably that she won
her complete. command Of people as
she did Of situations. by always proy-
ing herself equal to the emergency Of
thS moment.
