WHISTLER WAS MOST ACTIVE
Observer MarveIed at Great Energy Displayed by the Famous Artist
 In Ills Studio.

The studio was surprisingly differ ent from the room he previously used in Lindsay row, and entirely unlike the studios usually occupied by other artists, says Hay in Memories of Whistler" I remember a long, not very lofty room, very light, with win dows along one side; his canvas beside his model at one end, and at the other, near the table which he used as a palette, an old Georgian looking glass, so arranged that he could see his canvas and model reflected in 1t. Those who use such a mirror Gas he did constantly will know that 1t Is the most merciless of critics.
 I marveled then at his extraordinary activity, as he darted backward and forward to look at both painting and model from his point of view at the ex- treme end of the long studio. He always used brushes of large size with very long handles, three feet in length, and held them from the end with his arms stretched to their full extent. Each touch was laid on with great frmness, and his physical strength enabled him to do without the assistaAce of mahl- stick, whilst the distance at which he stood from the canvas allowed him to have the whole of a large picture in sight and so judge the correct drawing of each touch.

schoolteacher was recently com plimented on the success attending the examination of her pupils. When a question was put every hand in the class was raised. Although more than a score of questions were asked, in no instance was an incorrect answer given.
 One of the teachers whose pupils did not acquit themselves very credit ably made an investigation and sue ceeded in gaining the confidence of a scholar under the care of her success ful colleague.
 "Now." she said, "how is it that all of you are able to reply to the Ques- tions?
 "But we're not"
 "At all events you put up your hands as If you were"
 "Yes, we all put up our hands. But those who don't know the answer put up their left hands, and those who do put up their right hands. The right hand boys reply; the others don't"

country's Good Beginning.

We may be modest in contemplating our beginning of the war in sober thought of the effort which lies ahead. But 1t will not be undervalued by those who know how to appreciate our re-en- forcement of their weary hands. War is a matter of blood and iron. There are more than 1O,OOOOOO men behind the nearly 100000 who have regis tered. The combined pig iron capacity of the allies-the United States, Eng land, France, Russia, Italy and Japan lis under 55,OOO,OOO tons, and its value Is covered by the subscription in three of our reserve districts. All the iron produced in all the countries at war would not be worth $2,OO0, ,OOO,- 900, at normal values. Last year was a good iron year in this country, yet all the iron ore, coke, and iron pro duced in 1916 was less than one-half of the first subscription to the fund to bring Prussia to its senses and its knees, in humility if not in prayer.

Intensive Training.

No one who knows much about Sec retary Baker of the war department can be surprised at the New York Suns admission that he Is making good" A civilian must be secretary of war, in our government, and there is no available civilian in the United States today who can match MT. Baker in qualifications for the difficult post. His first years experience as war sec retary, embracing the Mexican border mobilization of the National Guard, was equal to the experience secretaries used to obtain in four years. MT. Baker has been in intensive train ing" from the day he took office and he now has a grasp of the problems of his department which a new man would be many months in acquiring. Naturally MT. Baker has keen, alert, lightninglike mind, and there is not a shred of respect in his makeup for what it known as bureaucratic red tape. Keep him where he Is and he will work his head off for the army and the country.-Springfield Repub- ncan.

CREDIT TO M'ADO0
Liberty Loan Ably Handled by
 Secretary of the Treasury.
Its Magnificent Success Must confound the Critics of the Department and of the Administration of
 Which He Is a Part.

The Liberty loan was oversubscribeo almost 52 per cent. The total amount of cash offered Uncle Sam is $3,O35,- 226,S5O, and rather more than 4,OOO, ,OOO persons combined to make the offer.
 Considering that this was not only our first war loan, but the first really popular loan ever offered in this coun- try, it is the most amazing success ever scored.
 Full credit and warm thanks are due to the banks and trust companies and private financiers, to the solicitors and advertisers and newspapers who gave time and money to boosting the great cause. But goodly section of credit must be reserved for the man who launched the project, Secretary of the Treasury William Gibbs McAdoo.
 Only short time ago the croakers were telling us that the whole plan was blunder and that the art of raising coin was a mystery which nc member of the present administration could hope to solve. In view of the figures presented, 1t looks as though the critics had something to learr themselves, and as if MT. McAdoC knew a little about the financial status | and temper of his countrymen, after | all.

It happened at a Christmas party. A pretty young lady had asked one of the male guests to pass dish of al- monds and raisins.
 "With pleasure" he replied, ''but do you know that what you have asked for is called in the vernacular Kiss miss," and that the penalty of kiss attaches to the requestT
 "Is that so?" answered the lady, calmly. q must consult my husband" |" And she called across the room to him, and repeated the observation.
 Quite so," he replied. According to custom 1t Is a just debt and must be paid. But Is the gentleman aware of the arrangement made when we were married-that I must settle an my wife's liabilitiesr

Jeff D. Riggs, 2O2O Pearl street, Vicksburg, Miss, engineer Yazoo and Mississippi Valley, says: "Was nerv- ous and physical wreck-since taking Tanlac am strong and active as ever gained 25 pounds"
 B. F. House, R. F. D., No. 5, Box 61, Atlanta, Ga., engineer Seaboard, says: 'Lost weight and strength-was badly under the weather-Tanlac set me up gained % pounds"
 Jack Petrie, 54 Lindsley avenue, Nashville, Tenn, engineer, says: "Was pulled down till had to give up my engine -Tanlac put me back in the cab its the best medicine I ever tried"
 P. F. Hammill, 1892 Dunnavant street, Memphis, Tenn. engineer, says: "Rheumatism - tried everything, in- cluding trip to Hot Springs-Tanlac did more good than everything else combined"
 P. 0. Hooks, Rome, Ga. engineer Southern, says: My wife was almost complete nervous and physical wreck -Tanlac set her crutches aside-she gained 16 pounds"
 J. B. Watson, Mobile, Ala, engineer on Southern Railway between Selma and Mobile, says: "Was completely broken down-couldn't work-since taking Tanlac am working regularly gained 6S pounds"
 O. B. Hanes, Nashville, Tenn, engi- neer Louisville and Nashville, says |: "Gave up engine account accident, bad health - Tanlac is fine - gained 8 pounds-sleep and eat f1ne."
 c. T. Newman, Dalton, Ga., engineer Western and Atlantic, says: "Was tired and worn out-nervous-Tanla only thing that gave me relief"
 H. M. Telford, 617 Third avenue. Birmingham, Ala, engineer Louisville and Nashville, says: "Wife had nerv- ous indigestion-splitting headaches gave up all housework-Tanlac gave her new life and energy-she gained z pounds"
 | Evidence from such sources as these is unassailable. These men are ex' posed to all conditions of weather as no others are. Their runs take them from mountain to seashore, from swamp to highland through rain and storm, cold and sleet, and they never falter in their duty. They must al. ways guard against disease. These men speak from personal experience no wonder they pin their faith to Tan. lac, for 1t has served them well.

Coalition Cabinet Nonsense.

In its zeal for what 1t calls "coall- tion" cabinet, composed of both Demo crats and Republicans, antiadministra- ton Journals are making themselves somewhat ridiculous. Time enough to supplant some of the present cabinet when they have shown themselves un- able to cope with the situation. Even Secretary Daniels, who was the butt of newspaper humorists for so long, is sustained by the best judgment of the country in nearly everything he has done, including his rulings in the interest of morality and sobriety in the navy.
 The people voted last fall not to change horses while crossing a stream, and we are just now approaching the most dangerous part of the ford.

Little Bodily Energy In Potatoes

A pound of potatoes yields hardly one-f1fth as much body energy as pound of rice, cornmeal, or wheat. This Is partly because they are much more watery and partly because a large proportion Is discarded with the skins. Part of this loss Is inevitable because the skin itself is not usually considered good to eat; but the more carelessly potatoes are pared, the more of the valuable edible substance goes with the skin.

The Point.

Former Premier Rene Viviani of the French commission impressed the country with his eloquence.
 They tell a story of M. Viviani's youth. He had accepted an invitation to address a political meeting, and he launched into his maiden speech with trepidation. But he carried all before him, and, when he purposed to sit down, there were loud cries of:
 "Go on! Keep her upl Go onp
 Do you really wish me to go onT' said M. Viviana.
 'fYesl. Yesl Go onI Go onr" shout ed the audience.
 "Then this Is the exact point" said M. Viviani, where a capable speaker sits down.

Bathe In Moonlight.

The pale moonlight that bathes each night the several hundred frame build ings at Fort Benjamin Harrison which house the student officers and the reg ular army men, shines also over the tents of two Indiana National Guard companies, the first Indiana field hos pital and Ambulance Company No. 1. Late in the afternoon Is bath time with the student officers, and with the regulars, and the bathhouses, one for each company, are about the busiest places at the fort, especially after @ round of trench-digging. But the men of the field hospital don't care for bathing in the afternoon. Night time is the time for them. Their bath houses are as open as the air, the bathing facilities provided consisting only of showers set up in the open, back of their camp. So, late in th( evening, guards are set out, 1s1
 pallid in the moonlight,
 the tents, run to the sl
 in the cold water, and

How Germans Attack.

It has frequently been stated of late that the German troops attack in mass formation even in the face of machine gun and shell fire, a policy little short of suicidal under conditions of modern warfare. A Dutch army officer who has been an observer on the front says that this is not strictly so. He states that the attack has the appear ance of a mass attack because 1t is composed of successive waves of in- fantry. The rear waves are kept in close formation to heighten the morale of the troops, but the attack is not a mass attack, strictly speaking. The Germans charge in close order when they have located what they consider the weak spot in the line of defense.
