Current Event
Talks For the
Youngsters.

The News Times is pleased
that it has the opportunity to
announce to its readers. and eS-
pecially all mothers. fathers and
teachers, that it has added to its
columns a feature that will be
of genuine educational value to
every boy and girl in South
Bend and MiShawaka; in fact,
throughout st. Joseph county.
A newspapers first duty is.
necessarily TO print the news,
but It has other duties, which it
readily and cheerfully assumes,
and not the least of these is to
assist whenever possible in foS-
tering any real educational
movement. And it is in direct
line with this responsibility that
we have secured the service of
"Uncle Harry" to talk to our
boy and girl readers every Sun
day and possibly Thursday.
Moreover, a special invitation is
extended to mothers, fathers and
teachers to join with the boys
and girls in getting acquainted
with "Uncle Harry"
Who is "Uncle Harry"
Well, in the first place, he is a
middle-aged man who is excep-
tionally we'll informed on the
tremendous news happenings of
the day. In the second place, he
likes children, and what is equal
ly important, he knows how to
explain otherwise more or less
complicated subjects so that
children can understand him. He
is not so old but he remembers
his own boyhood days, and he
is not 50 young but that he has
had the time and opportunity to
develop balance and judgment.
What "Uncle Harry" does is
to explain the important, worth
while news of the day so that
boys and girls will be not only
interested but educated. And so
carefully and so thoroughly, and
so fairly does he do this that he
has won the endorsement of
scores of educators, including
such representative men as
PreS't Hibben of Princeton uni
verSity and Chief Librarian
Franklin K. Matthews of the ma
tional council of the boy scouts.
The first of "Uncle Harry's
Talks" is published in this pa
per today. The kindly uncle
meets with his two nephewS,
Jimmy and Joe, and his neice,
Helen, and together they dis
cuSS, not the news that is mere
ly of tranSitOry or ephemeral in
tereSt, but which must neverthe-
less be recorded if a newspaper
is to fulfill its function, but the
really important, worthwhile
news of the world. And never
before in the history of the
world has there been so much
news of this character. Civil
cation is changing and chang
ing rapidly. A veritable piano.
rama of world-changing events
is happening and passing daily
and the vast and marvellous
news gathering and news writ
ing agencies, keyed as they are
to the adult mind, cannot sud-
denly right-about-face and set
down the tremendous happen
ingS of the time in the language
of, and within the understand
ing, of children.
But what these great organi-
cations and talented men cannot
do, Uncle Harry" can and
gladly does do. He is explain
ing the world war and all the
wonderful events and changes
that are following in its wake.
So that boys and girls can I'M
derstand these things, and profit
thereby.

I'm BERLIN.
PRAISE WILSON AND KAISER

lations of the Two Countries.

the higher government circles and
banking and business spheres toward
the United States.

two former ministers, the vice presi-
dent of the reichstag, the heads of
Germany's big financial institutions
and other leaders in German public

Germans, were present.
The toasts to Emperor William and
President Wilson were drunk stand
ing. President Wolf introduced the
principal speakers of the evening
Vice Chancellor Helfferich, Director
won Gwinner and Mr. Gerard.
The ambassadors speech was infor-
NAL and avoided touching contentious
topics, but he mentioned the large con-
tributions now being received from

nonpartisan works of mercy.
Arthur Won Gwinner, director of the
Deutsch bank, too, did not speak from

Gerard has visited the United States,

warded to Emperor William.

Ten Billion IONS Of Coal.

, The Nenana coal field, Alaska, will
be tributary to the government rail-
road now under construction from Sew
ard to Fairbanks Though the coal OF
this field is Ignite and hence of low
grade, yet it has great value as a
source of fuel and power for Fairbanks
and other yukon placer camps. the
field is about sixty miles south of FAIR
banks. 1t is estimated by the United
States geological survey, department
of the interior, that the Nenana field
contains some ten billion tons of lig-
mite. The Nenana coal field lies IN
what is known as the Bonnifield re-
gion. which also contains some gold
placers that have been mined in small
way for the last ten years.

A Great Discovery
(BY ]. H WATSON, NJ. D.

Swollen hands, ankles, feet are due to
dropsical condition, often caused by
disordered kidneys. Naturally when the
kidneys are deranged the blood is filed
with poisonous waste matter, which set
ties in the feet, ankles and wrists; or
under the eyes in bag-like formations.
As a remedy for those easily recog-
nized symptoms Of Inflammation caused
by uric acid as scalding urine, back
ache and frequent urination, as well as
sediment in the urine, or If uric acid in
the blood has caused rheumatism, lum-
bago, sciauca, govt, it Is simply wonder
full how quickly Anuric acts the pains
and stiffness rapidly disappear.
Take glass Of hot water before meals
and Anuric to flush the kidneys -
Step into any drug store and ask Tor
Anuric, many times more potent than
lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
water melts sugar.

TAKES OFF DANDRUFF,
HAIR STOPS FALLING
of Danderine right now-AIso
stops itching scalp.

Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff-that awful scurf.
There Is nothing so destructive TO
the hair as dandruff. 1t robs the hair
Of its lustre, its strength and it's very
life; eventually producing a feverish-
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die-then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight-now-any time-will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try little Dan
derine. Save your hair !! Try it ADV.

Make Most Of Good Points.

Few of us can indulge our tastes as
we would, so why not make the most
of our good points, if we have any,
and try to appear as attractive as our
limited incomes permit? Women who
are making displays and appearances
beyond their means will never find in
either the satisfaction they anticipate,
for at every turn they will meet some
one who will outshine them.
Accept your lot and learn to laugh
and be happy. Life has treasures in
store for each of us, but we shall not
find them unless our search for them
is made in the right and proper way.
