Wouldn't it be great to be so chuck full of gin ger all the time that trouble fell off your mind like water off ducks back so you could go to sleep at night as soon as your head hit the feathers, and bound out again in the morning at the first tap of the bell feeling you were able to get somewhere in your business that day.
 Lots of people fuss around all day like a hen on hot cake but never light any place. They are nervous, flighty, fretful and can't get right down to brass tacks. There is some thing wrong at one time or another with almost every organ in their bod les and it's all -nerves-nerves; they're keyed up like a fiddle string and like a ship without a compass can't make port.

Allies StrategiSts Hope to Force
 Retreat Through Marrow Path

Paris, Sept. 28.-The Prussian lines lin Picardy are cracking. They are Inot broken, but they are feeling the strain that just precedes the break. l lThe strongest system of fortified mih- 6tary engineering could devise has given way before the Franoo-British aonsIaughts. The result of two years of uninterrupted work has been swept away as sand dunes are engulfed in q tidal wave.
 Mametz, Contalmaison, Th1epval Pozieres Comb bles, Flaucourt, Belloy, Estrees-lab byrinths of death such as were not dreamed of five years ago veritable Verduns all of them, have succumbed in three months to the power of the allied guns and the al- I lied fnfantrymen.
 The plan of operations by which the kaiser's legions are to be driven back to the Rhine, worked out in many councils here and in London, Is developing accurately and speedily. The hardest work is done, Paris be- jieves. The Prussians have been pried from positions they, and much of the world, regarded as impregnable. No such positions can be constructed again under the pressure that Is be- ing put on them by the armies of General Haig and General Foch. Dis-- lodged, they are fighting a losing fight in shelters hastily constructed, thinly manned and on a terrain which places them at very definite disadvantage.
 It Is no wonder Paris is certain the hardest task is over The war in the west, for the first time since mid-Sep- tennber, 1914, is approaching the stage where tactician will meet tac- tician, where the weight of the strug-
 gle will measure man for man and where nnaneuver of the armed mass which is preponderately in favor of the French and the British, will de- eide the issue.
 This is the point toward which the
 allied high command has been work
 ing. Numbers are overwhelmingly
 on the side of the Entente. Hereto
 fore the Prussian staff has balanced
 this great superiority of rifles and ar-
 tillery by the intricate, powerful sys-
