George Walsh Gives Press
Agent a Right to Live

At last the press agent is immof-
talizedl .",
The man whom actors love and
newspapers hate, who gets the blame
for everything and receives credit for
nothing, is finally to come in for his
own. No other than George Walsh
William Fox star, is to interpret him
in the films, to imprint him Oh the
celluloid, to give him lasting fame!
In his newest production, Some
Boy" George plays the role OF "Joy-
Gus" johnson. After his college days
he becomes publicity man for large
hotel, and the stunts he pulls" are
calculated to make sad the heart Of
the real press agent. incidentally, the
scenario has required that newspapers
be much kinder to George ;han they
would be to an of-stage p. a.
Also incidentally George spends his
spare minutes reading a book called
"l00l Ways 10 Get Newspaper Pub
licity."
One OF the funniest incidents is
said to envoive itself around George
wien he disguiscs himself as a widow
to evade the detectives. This mirth,
dispensing play can be seen today and
Monday at the Sun theater.

TROOPS AT so MUCH A MAN
Soldiers Furnished British Government
by British States at Beginning
Of Revolutionary War.

At the beginning Of the Revolution
airy war the British government made
treaties with several of the German
states by which they were to furnish
troops at so much man TO assist In
subjugating the Americans. Applica-
lions for assistance made to Russia
and Holland were rejected, but several
of the German states responded favor
ably. There was no united Germany
or imperial government, no kaiser with
autocratic power, but each independ-
ent state had a separate government.
An English historian says:
Finding it difficult or impossible to
obtain the necessary recruits at home,
and that the existing English and Irish
regiments embarked with such reluc-
lance that II was necessary to keep
a guard upon the transports to keep
them from deserving by wholesale, the
ministry applied to Russia, the states
general (Holland), and finally to sew
eral of the German states for merce-
naries. The infamy of filling up the
British armament was reserved for the
princes of three or four petty German
states" Contracts were made with the
rulers of seven German states under
which an aggregate of thirty thousand
troops were furnished at so much
head, cash down, and an annual sum
TO the rulers of the different states fur
nishing them.
1.-THE subsidies" says the English
historian, 'were to be continued for
one full year at least after the war
ended and the troops had returned TO
their homes" The troops thus hired
out by German rulers to fight against
Americans were not raised easily The
American historian Bancroft says:
1.-The whole number of men fur
nished in the war by Brunswick was
equal TO one-twenty-seve part OF its
total population; by the landgrave Of
Hesse, TO one out Of every twenty of
his subjects, or one in four of the able
bodied men, a proportionate conscrip-
ton in 1776 would have shipped TO
America from England and Wales
alone an army of more than 100000
men. Soldiers were impressed from
the pillow, the workshop, the highway {;

Twas Easily Done.

Hypochondria was the topic that
was being discussed at a social affair,
says the Philadelphia Press, when Sen
ator William A. Smith of Michigan re-
called the following story:
A woman who was perfectly well,
but imagined she had at least dozen
different diseases. called one day TO
consult an eminent specialist.
II think understand your case thor
oughly, madam" said the doctor as the
patient began to tell the story of her
life. "Just sit quite still moment
and let me look at you"
The patient complied and after
studying her intently for little while
the physician glanced at his watch.
"There is nothing the matter with
you. madam" finally said the doctor.
You haven't the slightest indication
Of fever, and your heart beat is per-
fectly normal"
"Why, how do you know, doctor?''
exclaimed the patient in surprise.
You didn't take my pulse"
at wasn't necessary, madam, "
smiled the specialist. II counted the
vibrations of the ostrich feather on
your hat"

Method in His Madness.

A story brought from Camp Funs-
ton, says the Kansas City Star: A
young draft soldier paced the parade
ground alone. STOPPING suddenly he
picked up small block of wood, stud
led 1t moment, and cast it aside with
the remark: THAT amt IT." Walk
ing farther, he stopped and brought up
a scrap of paper, scanned it, and
threw ii away again saying: THAT
amt It," A third pause minute
later brought his attention to a cigar
cite stub. but closer scrutiny brought
the same rejection, That amt it"
His captain stood within hearing
watching the draft soldier closely. Ii
was apparent the young mans men
tality was wavering. The guard was
called, and the patient was sent TO the
hospital. The next day the captain
went to the hospital with the patients
discharge papers. On their delivery
the sufferer held the papers up TO the
light, examined them closely, and then
announced:
That's it,"

OUR BOYS IN FRANCE AND
HOME PROTECTION

The men on the firing line represent
the pick of our American youth. One In
four of our boys at home was sick, re-
Jected because OF physical deficiency.
Many times the kidneys were to blame.
II we wish to prevent old age coming
on too soon, or II we want to increase
our chances for long life, DR.. Pierce of
the Surgical Institute. Buffalo. n. Y, says
that you should drink plenty of water
daily between meals Then procure at
your nearest drug store Anuric double
strength). This An-u-ric drives the uric
acid out and cures backache and rheuma-
tism.
If we wish to keep our kidneys in the
best condition a diet OF milk and vege-
tables, with only little meat once a day.
Is the most suitable. Drink plenty of
pure water, take Anuric three times day
for q month.
Step into the drug store and ask for
a Coo package of Anuric, or send DR..
Pierce 10c for trial pkg. Anuric. many
times more potent than lithia. often elm
mates uric acid as hot water melts SUI
gar. A short trial will convince you.

old PRESCRIPTION
FOR WEAK KIDNEYS

Have you ever stopped TO reason why
Il is that so many products that are ei-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfil
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate TO recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy that l know Of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact
that, so many people claim, il fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments, oorrects ur-
mary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle of
Swamp Root by Parcel Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, n. Y, and
enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.
Large and medium size bottles for sale
at all drug stores.-Adv.

cantonment Road Building.

A record-breaking piece of road
building recently was completed In
connection with the army environment
at Louisville, says an exchange, which
continues:
This is one of the few military es-
Establishments that have built perma-
nent roads. In 63 working days the
contractor completed 63,360 square
yards of Trinidad asphaltic concrete
highway laid on a concrete base, or
about six miles of road IS feet wide.
A mile of the road was over a four
foot fill, and Immediately upon its
completion a traffic count showed that
1000 vehicles passed over it within
the first hour. Most of these vehicles
were motor trucks and wagons carry
ing loads of from one to five tons. The
record .. is all the more remarkable
in view Of the fact that 1t was neces-
sary to haul and crush all the stone
used in the work"
