BEARD OF TIE. P0|[U
MUST BEL DISCARDED
French Army Thus Drops 12O Tons
Of Useless Weight - Writers
Make Merry Over Orders.

Paris Aug. 2S.-The beard Of the
French Soldier has been doomed in
!, an army order which directs that the
men at the front must shave all ex-
cept mustaches.
General Pierre Cherfils. reasoning
technically, excuses the measure be-
cause 'the beard of q trooper weighs
on an average sixty grammes. With
100000 men at the front this brings
the aggregate weight to 120 tons. It
was natural that the staff should
think Of relieving the army of this
considerable and useless weight. It
was reasonable in creating heavy ma
terial to make in compensation light
infantry"
The order has been the signal for
the outburst of humorous and ironic
discussion in the trench newspapers.
to which some of the most famous
French artists. philosophers, and lit
erary men have contributed.
Jean Richepin, the dramatist, writ
ing in the Fuse, says:
'The beard has gone, but what 10
courage that grows. Let the beard
fail and French courage grow"
Edmond Rostand celebrates the
beard in verse as symbol Of "all the
beauty of all of France, a soul, Jew
ell, a torch. prod"
Henri BergsOn says: II am not
afraid to go as far as to say that the
visage is matter, while the beard is
mind"
Auguste Rodin, the famous sculptor,
says:
Men without boards, women with
out mex. statues without heads, bodies
without arms humanity without
weakness. that is my opinion"
Maurice Barres gravely regrets the
beard. which he says was "a heritage
of long ago in which the dead lived
again and which bound us mysteri-
ously to the soil" He adds: 1T was
part of the war and Of our courage"
Henri Bataille mourns the beard az
"a nest of souvenirs, dear and tender,
somewhat timid, and q little shivery."

THE FOOL TAX PAYER

Frank S. Regan, eX-membeT of Ill
inois legislature, has given his lee
ture, The Fool Tax Payer, at sew
eral places in this county. He talks
with chalk as well as tongue. The
pictures drawn before the audience
win applause. His subject is taxes.
The Moral and lesson is temperance.
He has studied taxation as applied in
many states. He hands out many
surprising facts.
One way to get more taxes is to
raise more dogs. Every child born
in Cincinnati comes into the world
with a debt of $165 hanging over it's
head. why. not 90 to Kansas, a dry
state, where there is no public debt
and be born" was one of his ques-
tions. He named some big tax dod-
gers in this country He stated that
many breWeries We're openly or Sc
cretly owned by men living in Eng
land. They made $40 profit on each
barrel and sent the money to England
to help the allies whip Germany He
said that in st. Louis this fact spoil
ed the taste of beer to many Ger
mans. Census reports show 5S per
cent. of our people poor.
Our. way of taxing makes more
sure that poor folks pay more tax
than the rich Booze cost more than
army each year yet the big
gest standing army was at the sa-
loon bar. At ottawa the county com
missioners heard Mr.. Regan, to get
pointers on taxation which is one of

and the boys on the ground tell the
