An Easy Way

Haven't you often wished for a med

that does not require dieting or calls

may secure at your Druggist. They are
pleasant to take, perfectly harmless and
cause no restrictions OF habit or eating,
and reduce the flesh, little by little, until
you IRE down to the number OF pounds
you wish to weigh. Too much flesh is
undesirable, as most quite stout people
will readily admit, and it detracts from
ones good appearances: makes one
clumsy and short of breath.

should be too stout, when there's this

be perfectly harmless. Refuse substi-
tutes if you car not come to our store,

NATURE PROVIDES
THE

Arao.PhOsDhate. the New Herbal Remedy.
Now Endorsed by Local People
If the digestive organs are not pro-
perly performing the work which nature
has assigned to them, then nutrition,
which is absolutely essential to the re-
covery of other diseased parts, will be
lacking and there can be no permanent
relief. When bodily nutrition is nor.
NAL, the stomach digests the food, the
blood absorbs and carries the nourish-
ment to the different parts OF the body,
causing the various organs to properly
perform their functions.
Nature has provided a remedy in the
ingredients OF Argo-Phosphate, thenew
herbal stomach remedy, which is now
being introduced here. 1t is purely
vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective
and reconstrnctive qualities are 81 pro-
nounced that beneficial results are no
from the first day. That this is
true, it is only necessary to listen to the
statements made daily by local people
who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair
trial and have been benefited thereby.
1t is dispensed by every druggist. ad

Duty of the Individual
BY DEAN DAVID kINIEY,
Vice President of the University of Illinois.

The war calls for sacrifice. From some it has taken life. From others
it has taken things dearer than life. From Others still it has taken the
small thing we call property. What it may take from yp and me is yet
to be seen. How great is GU spirit of sacrifice? Shall we be ready, when
our country and humanity and God call us, to say that all that we have
we sacrifice and dedicate to our ideals of duty and Loyalty? In this hour
OF our countrys need, in this day of world suffering, would impress
upon university men and women particularly the thought that their high
est duty Is the sacrifice of what they have to their countrys call The
spirit of sacrifice is ennobing. Out of it great good comes, great deeds
arise and leadership is established.
The duty of sacrifice and service rests upon u all. In the provi-
dence of God to whom much is given from them much shall be required
in this day of world trial If not given willingly it will be taken. If it
must be taken the individual who loses it loses also the spiritual nobility
that marks the individual who is ready to sacrifice for and serve his
fellow men. If the leaders in thought, those who have gone farthest IN
education, fail, how shall we expect those whose privileges have been
fewer or less to rise to the height of the ideaGsm that is the need of
the hour? Duty is not general; it is specific. 1t rests on the individual
end not On son fictitious group called society. 1t is an individual matter
and each one must search his own heart to find whether he i living up
to the ideals and spirit of the God of his father and mother. Service,
sacrifice, is the prerogatve and the duty of the soldier, the citizen and
the Christian.

Now Famous War Tank Said
To Have Had a F0rerunner
In the Nineteenth Century

Jules Verne in Twenty Thousand
Leagues Under the Sea" gave an ink
ling of the p~resent-day activities of
the submarine boats. III. G. Wells pre-
dicted the work of air raiders, and
now a historical deliver comes forward
with the statement that the tank had n
forerunner In the sixteenth century.
John Napier, laird of Murchison, the
mathematician who invented loga-
rithms, devised a war engine some
thing after the style of the tank.
Napier confided to Bacon's elder
brother certain secret inventions"
for the purpose of confounding "ene-
mics of Gods truth" They included
burning mirrors and a chariot of metal
double musket proof. the motion of
which was controlled by those within
and from which shot was discharged
through small holes, "the enemy be-
ing abased and uncertain what de-
Tense TO make against a moving mouth
of metal"
This description sounds much like.
the early type of tank and the con
forming" of the enemy, as predicted
by Napier, vas to have been accom-
plished by the tanks of the British
when they first appeared among the
Germans. Napier's engine never went
into action, for the Scottish inventor
directed that his weird instrument of
war be kept secret unless necessity
compelled its use. Napier, who was
born In 1850, died in 1911.

ITO Take French Leave" Is
Phrase of Uncertain Origin.

The origin of the phrase ito take
many a pathological contest, but the
outcome of them, for the most part,
has been to increase interest In the
question. 1t has been plausibly sug-
geSted that the custom of disappearing
u~nObtruSively from a crowded recep-
ton, instead of elbOwing ones way
through q thrOng of people, TO reach
the hostess, is q custom which vas the
natural OutgrOwth of courteous consid-
Grafton for everyone involved. was Dor
rowed by the English from the French.
Again, it has been suggested that the
French, In the phrase French leave"
has no connection with the French peo-
pie, except TO the extent of what Is
implied in the etymOlOgy of the word
frank" meaning free, and that the
expression may mean simply n per-
mission not granted but assumed. But
the question is further muddled by the
fact that the French have a phrase
"prendre congo q la maniere AnglGise,"
or ''se retirer 4 lAnglaise," with pre-
cisely the same significance, with the
hit at the English. In Germany the
phrase is identical with the English.
From Hilpert's German dictionary 1T
would appear that it is more than 100
years old, while the custom which ii
celebrates. withdrawing without final
leave taking, was ar established prac-
tice in Germany 300 years ago.

In the service whose fathers fought on
one side or the other in the war be-

life seems to be hereditary. The presi-
dent of the United States has a right
under the law to appoint each year TO
the United States Military academy at
West Point 10 young men. The preSi-
dent. in order not TO show favOritism,
orders Il competitive examination to

TO 200 son of the service ready to
take the examination.
The rivalry is sharp, and 1t is known
that virtually every young man who
applies does such creditable work on
his examination that If the trial were
non-competitive each n of them
would get a high enough mark to quail
ify him for admission to the academy.
AS 1t is, however, only 10 can enter,
and the examiners see to 1t that the
10 who pass highest get the coveted
positions.
The president also has the right to
appOint each year a certain number of

ice is true also of the sea service, for
the sons of officers who have sailed
