 "Humph." replied the Canadian. tits a wonder you didn't first finish what you started yourself down at Gallipoh."
 Then the trouble began. It was Don nybrook affair for time, but eventually peace was declared with renewed and mu- tual respect for colonial fighting ability.

The Army Mexico Needs

Charlton Bates Strayer in Leslie's.
 Because of their constitutional opposi- ton to war and to the use of force throughout their history as sect, the friends deserve to be heard whenever they raise their voice in favor of q peaceful solution of the questions of ths hour. In an open letter to the press of the country the peace committee of Phil adelphia yearly meeting of Friends re- Views the unhappy condition of Mexico, and argues that while Mexico needs the cooperation of a few of our troops for police and patrol duty her great need is a peaceful army. ''rhe army needed" says the committee, lis force of edu- cators, teachers, doctors, sanitary en- gineers farmers and agricultural experts, who will volunteer for the terms of two or three years in the spirit of service, such as we rendered Cuba at her time o9 crisis. It would be legislaron worthy of our country for the government to make a liberal appropriation for such CO., operations. Tt could be done by a slight curtailment of the proposed naval pro- gramme." B. F. Yoakum recently made similar suggestions concerning the need of practical training for the Mexicans in agriculture and manufacturing. The American-Mexican joint commission now in session, is seeking to formulate protocol to cover military operations along the border and a plan to guarantee protection for the personal and property rights of Americans in Mexico. The education of the Mexi cans themselves, however, will call for tutelage on the lines suggested by the Friends.

 You simply must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain In the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take tablespoonful in glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine.

London, September 1O.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press )-NotWlthsta ing the well-nigh total darkness or the nights and the number of wounded seen upon the streets, London life is not with- out it's lighter shades even in these cru- cial days of the great war. One reason for this is that the wounded soldiers arc about the most cheerful lot London has ever known. Most of those encountered along the Strand, in Picadilly and other promenades of the West End are rom Canada. Australia or New Zealand. The wounded English 'Tommie'' is more often found in the suburbs, in the neighbor- hood of his old home.
 It would seem decidedly out of place to sympathize with these oftentlme per- manently crippled men in hospital togs, for that is apparently the last thing they desire. As d matter of fact, they deeply resent it as a rule. In crowded tram ar tube cars women often arise and of fer seats to wounded soldiers, only to have them politely but very firmly re- fused.

To Improve Expression
 As Well As Complexion

No face is really beautiful that lacks expression. Do you realize mat coaIin- n spoil pliancy of skin and elasticity of expression? Why4not quit cosmetics. use something better, which won't clog the pores or make the skin dry, pasty or oily? Ordinary mercolized wax acts o,ifte differently from any cosmetic. It wonderfully improves any complexion, giving it life and expression. By grad nally. harmlessly peeling off the. thin veil of surface skin, it brings to view a pure. soft. spotless complexion, deli ately beautiful and youthful. Every druggist has this wax; 1t is seldom more than an ounce is needed It is spread on nightly like cold cream and washed off mornings. In week or two the trans formation is complete.
 Wrinkles do not, of course, enhance the Expression. Neither do the pasty things many use to eradicate them.
