GENERAL KNOWN AS DANCER
Man Who 10 Leading italian Drive
"Upstairs to Vienna" Favorlte
Member Of Royal Circle.

When the world on this side of the
water reads of General Cadorna's
thrilling onward smashing drive
toward upstairs to Vienna" as the
Italians express it, no one thinks OF
this foremost italian diplomatist
and soldier as Queen Elena's favo-
rite member of the royal dancing
circle man to whom her maj
esty most frequently accords her in
frequent honor of extending her
hand for his kiss. General Cadorna
is accounted the best sixty-seven-
year-old dancer in his country, and
it is whispered that he not infre-
quently' even at this time, with all
of his martial cares heavy upon him,
INDUCES in a waltz or polka as a
half hours recreation from his
steady strides toward that upstairs
to Vienna" upon which he is bent.
The Countess Cadorna, still love-
ly, was known until far past her fif-
tieth year as famous beauty, and
to this adds the rare gift of tactful-
ness, a fine attribute in its way for
the wife of any man, even though,
as in the present case, he is the idol
of his men for what they account
his greatest charm, ''politeness of the
heart"

VALUE OF CHEESE AS A FOOD
Experts Seek to Overcome Prejudice
Caused by Comic Paper Jokes
About Welsh Flarebit.

Some long-cherished notions about
food, food values and food effects
have been upset within the last few
months, and the American house
wife, in recent weeks, has learned
more about food than she ever knew
before, says an exchange.
Not long ago most of us were con-
WINGED that corn1neal dishes were out
of place in summer. We believed
they were Cheating" The experts
have declared to the contrary. Now
they want us to eat more cheese, and
they assure us that we can partake
of this nourishing food in generous
quantities without any disarrange-
ment of the digestive tract.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a
pound of fowl or of round steak, and
almost twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham. 1t is
accordingly cheaper food than
meats, and it is palatable and whole
some. We shall be the gamers if we
forget some of the comic paper jokes
about Welsh rarebit and begin to par
take of the cheese as a real food and
not merely as an appetizer.

SALVAGE METAL FROM SEA.

A means of making use of the cleo
trio magnet under water has been de-
vised in Japan, and it promises to be
of great assistance in locating sunken
vessels, to recover which salvage OPP
erations on a big scale are expected
after the war. Tests on this magnet
have recently resulted in bringing
up thousands of japanese shells, fired
in practice at sea, and it is now I'M
derstood that it will be used in ex-
tracing shell scraps from European
battlefields. The value of the iron
at present is huge.

WAS VICTIM OF SUGGESTION
Sufferer From Hay Fever Was Get
ting Along Famousiy Until Friend
Spoiled Everything.

For many years, as regularly as
August 70 came around, William
Herschell, like many others, emitted
the first ker-choo of a long cam
paign of hay fever, says the Indi-
annapolis News. On August % this
wear it occurred to one of hi friends
that Bill had been going about in
his normal carefree way and he said
to himself: 'I must ask him about
his hay fever"
So he called him by phone.
''Nope; haven't had any-yet." "
Then he apparently knocked on
something. "Took the serum treat
ment, fifteen doses, one every other
day. Guess Pm going to get by this
trip. (Knock.) Feeling fine"
Then he went out on the front
porch and began to reflect on what
he thought was a peculiar thing, that
his friend never failed to ask him
yearly what day his hay fever started
and to continue to suggest to him
every remedy he heard of.
Suddenly: "Ker-choo," and an
other and another, and more ad in
fnitum.
Next morning he appeared at the
office with the old-time watery eyes
and ticklish nose.
"Dog-gone it." he said, II wish
that fellow hadn't called me up"

York supreme court was examining
applicants for citizenship recently
when a band in the park began play
ing "The Star Spangled Banner"
It was written by Francis Scott Key,
Justice Pendleton's grandfather.
The justice turned his head toward
the window, and the hubbub in the
court ceased. Then the justice rose
to his feet, and the men who were
seeking the right to take the flag as
their own rose with him. Everybody
faced the flag that was draped on the
courtroom wall. Not a soul moved
until the music ceased. Then the
Justice bowed and resumed his seat,
and the work of making citizens
went on again.

time. In his successful counter
attack upon the allies, who had be-
sieged the Saxon capital, the "Man
of Destiny" gained his last impor-
tant victory.
Two days before the Austrians had
begun a bombardment of Dresden,
and st. Cyr's outposts were driven
into the city. On the twenty-slxth
the populace, mad with fear and on
the verge of despair, were overjoyed
by the arrival of Napoleon. He
brought strong army to the defense
of the city. The allies attacked in
force that day, but were met with a
murderous fire.
On the following day Napoleon
launched his master stroke. AS the
sun cast its first beams over Dres-
den, the Grand army poured its col
lumns out of the city and attacked
in turn. The Austrian left wing
crumpled before the assault of Murat
and Victor. Napoleon, with the
greater part of the artillery, attacked
the center, and the allies were de-
feated with great slaughter, and in
disorder fell back into Bohemia.
