MIR. HAVELAQUES INTERVIEW

It is natural that while Joffre or Vivian spoke in America during the recent visit. the voice of their fellow-Commissoner, M. Haveaque should command little attention, but the interview which he gave out is interesting, nevertheless.
 He is the French Minister of Public Instruction, and his mission here to promote better interna- tional understanding He pointed to the fact that educational institutions much to the influence of American educational institutions much to the in fuence of Germany and this debt he did not minimize But while Americans learning from Germany they were passing straight through France almost without stopping to consider the many things which France has to teach, except in the field art where France has long been guide, only to America but to the world
 French contributions to learning and culture in America have, therefore been considerable de gree indirect. and to small extent they came here by way of the German universities
 M. Haveaque admitted that this is to a degree the fault of France which has opened her educational institutions to foreign students in the same free and complete way Germany did Therefore as he said rich Americans have skinned little of the cream off the top of French civilization while average Amer jeans and average Frenehmen have known little or nothing about each other
 The first step in making America France and England better acquainted in intellectual way, M.

Iaveaque said, will be to liberalze the policy of the French universities.
 This, of course all looks forward to the time when there will be and American students seeking foreign training will hesitate about following the beaten path Germany There is reason to doubt that America learn much and improve much under the influence of French culture, while France may learn by looking beyond her borders to America what this country teach especially in methods of common school education

 college education is a great thing The old-time rough neck ball player would let the Umpire call three strikes on him and then he would savagely throw his bat at the grand stand and growl at His Umps
 That's the H-ll of havin' to play ball with blind monkey fer um- pire.''
 And the Umpire would attach a large can to the player.
 But the modern college graduate who breaks into the big league doesn't get peeved when the Umpire calls three strikes on him. He gracefully tips his cap to the Umpire and says:
 Thank you. But 1t is very evident that your reversonl to the tactics em- ployed by your simian ancestors is plair to everyone. And 1 might suggest that a visit to an optometrist might benefit you greatly"

British losses said to have mounted to 100000 tons per week recently and this is the occasion for the uproar in press of London. However, later information that 2S submarines were accounted for in one week, and the situation has materially improved

Meat Unnecessary

Meat is the most expensive article Of

rheumatic should abstain from meats, or
eat very sparingly. II is wellknown
fact that in govt serious organic disease
of the kidneys occurs. Such scientists as
Futcher, Minkowski, Hans. Vogt and
Reach have shown that uric acid in ex.
cess is retained in the blood when the
kidneys do not help excrete the poison.

quent chilling of the body-sll result in
retaining within the body an excess of
uric acid.
The best way to overcome this condi-
tion and prevent rheumatism and govt
is to drink plenty of water, say, a pint
of hot water morning and night with
lemon juice squeezed into it, and take
Anuric double strength three times
day This can be obtained at any drug
store. This is my invariable prescription
for the rheumatic person, and it usually
follows that the rheumatic pains, the
backache, such as lumbago, pains in the
back of the neck or limbs, will disappear
This Anuric by its tonic effect upon the
kidneys encourages them to greater ac-
tivity, and thereby the uric acid is
thrown out of the system. 1t is also
well to prevent constipation and that
greater evil, auto-intoxicati ton, to take
bending exercises every morning, plenty
of water between meals, and at least
once week take vegetable laxative. !
