HE IS ALWAYS ON THE JOB
Handy Young Man Among the Most
Popular Of Types That One Always
Meets at Evening Party.

One Of the most popular OF the
standard types you meet at an evening
party IS the handy young man. Gen.
orally his name Is Arthur. He Is one
Of the few old friends of George
Hosts bachelor days, who has passed
the new wife's censorship. Arthur Is
always invited for holiday dinners
and Is considered to be one Of the fam
fly. He knows where the ice pick is
hidden, and he knows Familiarity the
three reaches who frisk in the kitchen
sink. Arthur may always be relied
upon to talk entertainlngly to Mrs.
Polltikins, or Mary Ellen Scraggs,
poor dears.
It is Arthur who always manages
by some art, to fill that strange re-
quest for q glass Of water, sure to be
made by some lady. Arthur passes
the sandwiches and Arthur is the per-
son who notices that the woman IN
the blue foulard dress has no salad.
Perhaps there is reward enough for
Arthur when, overcoated, he bids the
hostess goodnight, 10 escort home
plain girl who came alone. and he is
told that he IS "such a DEAR" and
goodness knows what they ever would
have done without him."-Helena
Smith Dayton, in Cartoons Magazine.

In Paper Uniforms.

For instance, take the question OF CLOTH
ing. Germany and her allies do not pro-
duce enough wool to begin to clothe their
soldiers, and as for cotton they are living
upon reserves now all but exhausted.
The lack Of these materials is seen in the
condition of the clothing of Germans
taken prisoners. Many of the privates
are attired in product OF wood pulp and
the officers OF nettles. The material may
do for summer wear, but in winter time
il would 90 to pieces when exposed to
the elements. Of course, it is possible
that these pulp uniforms are being uti-
lied just for the summer time, the more
substantial equipment being reserved for
winter. But If speaks volumes for the
effectiveness of the blockade OF the Allies
when il becomes necessary for the enemy
to put such unsubstantial stuff upon his
troops.
II is also noted that the captured Ger
man soldiers are in a filthier condition
than ever. Sanitary precautions have
been neglected. and this is an army gov
erned by staff which has made the
health and hygiene OF its men first con-
sideration and has caused much surprise
among the British and French. The ex-
PLANTATION given by the prisoners is that
they cannot keep clean because they
have no soap. They say that soap is
now absolutely non-existent in Germany.
What marked contrast is the appear
ance OF the German soldier as he proudly
marched through Belgium in his fine new
uniform OF field gray and with every at
tention paid 10 sanitation and cleanliness
and that which he presents today as he
sinks deiectedly into the prisoners cage
back OF the British lines on the Franco
Belgian frontier. The conclusion is in
escapable. Germany, in spite of her
boasts and her pretensions, is slowly
strangling TO death.

GETS LESSON IN PATRIOTISM
American Given Something to Think
About by italian Who Bought
"De UnIta State Flag"

How many times the ignorant for
eigners IN this country have taught US
the lesson Of patriotism! An incident
happened some time ago In New YORK
CITY, SAYS a writer in the New Bedford
(Mass.) Standard.
Downtown there is store where one
can trade cigarette coupons for pre-
miums. II you want cash, the coupons
are worth half cent apiece. The store
IS filed with glass cases, In which
there are silver coffee urns, genuine
chinaware, collar buttons fish poles,
etc.
was cashing q number Of coupons
when a swarthy italian entered and
shuffled up to the counter. bis hair
looked as If 1t had never felt comb.
His hands and face were covered with
mud from the building excavations
across the street. In his fist he held a
crumbled and greasy mass Of coupons
which he showed half timidly over the
counter.
The girl clerk was a gum chewer.
More than that, she was painted and
powdered until her features resembled
the side Of q newly-painted barn.
"Whaddy 20 wan'7" she chewed, ey-
ing the Italian closely from under her
penciled eyebrows.
Gimme da biga flag" he whispered.
It was the most natural thing In the
world for the girl clerk to hand him
cheap italian flag. The man touched 1t
devotedly with his soiled fingers. y

New Idea In Clocks.

Every now and then some enterpris
ing manufacturer tries to make the
humble alarm clock attractive by get
ting 1t out in a new form. While the
seven o'clock bell will probably never
become popular, the latest form Is a
very convenient and handsome one.
The new clock is electric, both in the
alarm and timekeeping system. 1t Is
run by battery and just below the
face of the clock is tiny electric light.
A switch on a flexible cord is attached.
The switch may be carried to the head
of the bed and In order to see the time
at night, a touch on the button lights
the lamp, which Eliminates the face OF
the clock.

Uric ACID!

Ever since the discovery of Scheele In
1775 that uric acid was found within the
body-most eminent physicians agree
that rheumatism is caused by it; also
many distressing symptoms as head
ache, pain in back, stomach Distress
swollen feet and ankles, govt, etc.
Il was DR.. Pierce Of the Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, NY, who discovered a new agent
called Anuric, a harmless remedy
that il taken before meals will carry of
the uric acid from the system and in
this way the pains and aches, the creaky
Joints and all the distressing symptoms
of rheumatism and other maladies dis
appear. You can easily prove this your
sell, by obtaining Anuric at almost any
drug store, or send DR.. Pierce loc. LOT
trial package. Try it and be convinced
that Anuric is many times more active
than lithia and eliminates uric acid as hot
or r1elts sugar.

If we are to suffer restrictions I'M
known since the days Of Waterloo,
there are two Of them which would
have been no deprivation to our fore
bears of those hard times, says the
London Chronicle. The tomato, 1t is
true, was occasionally used as a rel
ish for soups, but It was so small that
they called It berry, and the yellow
kind was more in use than the red,
while to the majority 1t was unknown.
The banana was almost entirely
known by hearsay only, and striking
legend regarding It was more familiar
than the fruit itself. For 1t was free

tives refused to cut 1t with knife be-
cause on dissection lengthwise 1t pre-

Woman Cooks for Armies.

From England has come news that
the suggestion Of attaching women as
cooks and caterers to British regi-
ments was received so fayorably that
It is now being seriously considered,
and when objection is made that such
a thing has not been heard Of before
in civilized armies, It has been pointed
out that before the days Of Florence
Nightingale 1t was an unheard-of thing
for women to take charge Of hospital
work in the field.

TRIUMPH OF CRUSADERS.

And Canaan begat Sidon his first
born, and Heth, and the .Iebusite, and
the Amorite, and the Girgasite, and
the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the
Sinite, and Arvadite, and the Zemar-
lite, and the HamAhite: ard afterward
were the families of the Canaanites
spread abroad"
Those verses, taken from the gener
ations of the sons of Noah, in the
book of Genesis, contain the first men
ton, known to man, of Jerusalem, for
the Jebusites were, of course, the in
habitants of Jebus, which as the book
of judges say, is Jerusalem. For cen
turtles, indeed, the world believed that
Jebus was the old name of the Jebu-
site city which was altered to Jerusa-
lem when David captured it. But, in
1890, this theory was mercilessly ex-
ploded. In that year. the discovery of
the el-Amarna tablets disclosed the
fact that as early as 1400. B. c., at any
rate, or some five centuries before the
time of David, Jebus, If the bull may
be forgiven, was known as Urusalim,
which IN the Anglo-Saxon tongue is
Jerusalem. Indeed whether there ever
was Jebus On Mount Zion is some
thing over which the pundits are still
disputing.
Anyway, sometime early in the
Tenth Century before Christ, "all gath
cred themselves to David unto He
bron." And David led Israel to the
ridge of the Jebusites, unto Urusalim;
and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was the |
first to mount the walls, and SO to be-
come the captain Of Israel. After that '

his army, on his.way to the CONQUEST
of Egypt, is the desert which the
troops of his successor were destined
to cross, when they moved out of Je-
rusalem in the attempt to tear Egypt,
this time not from the grasp of the
Mamelukes but the British. In 1917
Selim and his Turks were successful.
but in 1917 the troops OF the Sultan
came tumbling back in defeat, with
the British marching remorselessly at
their heels. II was at GAIA, in 1917,
that Selim gained his initial victory,
over the Mamelukes, which opened
Egypt 10 him. 1t was at GAIA, in 49,,
that Aylenby inflicted N the Turks
the decisive defeat that placed J"ru
salem within his grasp. The Turks
bad boosted that the GAIA lines we're
iInpregnable. There were miles of dug
outs, with chambers far underground,

the gates of the old GAIA on his Shout

six hundred and seventy-three years,

ture of Islam's Holy City of Bagdad,
and the revolt of the Arabs in the
Holy Places of Mecca and Medina,
will deal tremendous and shatterlng
blow to the prestige of the Turk in
Asia. When, in the early days OF the
war, Enver Bey succeeded in forcing
Turkey into the conflict, 1t was by the
talismanic of a jehad for the restor-
alton of the Empire of Islam. The
green flag was unfurled, the green
turban assumed and the blessing of
the Sheik-up-Islam pronounced. But
Islam, in spite of all, was cold. The
Muhammadans of India proved true
to the British raj, the Afghans in, ka-

stanch in support of the British pro-
tectorate. Under the green flag, now

now Jerusalem have been lost to the

When we know no sorrow or dire dis

No envious hearts and no selfishness,
And we live for the love of the pure
