~ HIS Is the city of the bear.
Bruin Is everywhere-on the
monuments and "gateposts," in
coats of arms and trade marks
and most real of all, in the beur gar
den maintained from time immemorial
by the municipality of Berne, cor
respondent of the Chicago Herald
writes from the Swiss city.
Napoleon took the Berne bears to
Paris. When peace came the Bernese
clamored loud to have their bears re-
turned and the treaty so provided.
It Is a sort Of relief to turn in these
war times to less cruel wild animal
than man and fall down in bear wor-
ship. Really there is something kind
In Bruins face as he opens his mouth
In what might pass for smile, tax
Ing short breaths, with his red tongue
hanging over the lower lip. At least
there is no such expression as might
be on the face Of an aforetime gentle
youth as he plunges his bayonet into
the breast of an equally gentle youth
differently uniformed!
paid visit to the bears den down
the river level, and walking from the
upper to the middle bridge amid old
architecture that appealed as no new
architecture does or can. Why is it
that just across the river, in the new
and fashionable quarter where the le-
cations are located, there should be
such hideous suburban architecture

ALL MEN AT HOME SHOULD
PREPARE FOR WAR

The first test a man Is put thru for
either war or life insurance is an exami-
nation of his water. This Is most essen
tial because the kidneys play most i'm
portant part in causing premature old age
and death. The more injurious the pois-
ons passing thru the kidneys the sooner
comes decay-so says DR.. Pierce of Sur
gical Institute. Buffalo, N Y, who further
advises all people who are past thirty to
preserve the vitality Of the kidneys and
free the blood from poisonous elements,
such as uric acid-drink plenty of water
sweat some daily and take Anuric, double
strength, before meals. Coo package.
This An-u-ric is late discovery of DR..
Pierce and is put up in tablet form. and
can be obtained at almost any drug store,
For that backacie, lumbago, rheumatism,
rusty" joints, swollen feet or hands, due
to uric acid in the blood, Anuric quickly
dissolves the uric acid as hot water does
sugar Take a little Anuric before meals
and prolong life. Send 10 cents to DR..
Pierce for trial package of Anuric.

LOOSE MORALS IN RUSSIA
Marriage Vows Are Broken on Least
Provocation and Severing Of Bonds
Is Very Common.

Morals in Russian society are get
ting very loose, the sanctity Of mar
riage is being challenged by too great
a facility for obtaining divorce. Many
girls marry In haste to get their in
dependence, and look upon their first
matrimonial venture as q step to bet
ter themselves in the future, writes a
correspondent. It seems paradoxical,
but 1t is nevertheless fact that it
is far easier for a married woman than
for spinster to find a husband.
The breaking off Of an engagement
creates q scandal, but the severing of
matrimonial bonds is becoming quite
the usual thing. The most insignifl-
cant misunderstanding causes husband
and wife to break their marriage vows
and go their different ways. Gossips
chatter about impending divorces as
much as Of budding engagements. In
Russia a divorced woman does not
lose 1.-THE Of her reputation, If no
outrageous scandal attaches to her d.
vorce. Should she marry again, she
returns to society with her new hus-
band and enjoys all the prerogatives
Of her new position. The victims Of
this state Of things are the unfortu-
nate children.

CITED WOMEN AS DANGEROUS
German Writer Alluded to United
States Fen1inlsm as Certain
Ruin and Degradation.

There is some interest, If not equal
Importance, in the fact that America,
reputed throughout the world as the
land Of feminism, the land Of priv
legged womanhood, is at war with the
country in which the claims of femi-
nfsm are most universally and violent
Iy detested and the claims Of mascu-
linism most loudly asserted and gen
orally accepted, says the Philadelphia
Bulletin.
Herr VOechting wrote a book a few
years ago on 1.-THE American Cult of
Woman" In which he congratulated
his own Germany on being safe from
the danger that was engulfing the
United States in ruin and degradation.
If we acknowledge the awful impeach-
ment brought against us out Of the
logic Of Kultur, what shall we say on
our part of that masculinism which
expresses itself among the men of
Germany in q Mortified and angry out
Try against the "treachery" and 'un-
Worthlness" of German women in per-
forming little acts Of kindness and hui
manity for the prisoners within the
gatesf
SO dominant is this masculinism In
he kaiser's empire that women them
selves are among its stanchest adher-
ants. No other land could ever make
creed Of subjecting to constant in
suit and cruelty the helpless and the
wounded The masculinism of Amer
lea Is Of a different sort, despite the
gloating assertion Of Herr Voechting
that we have sunk too low to lay claim
to anything of such title. We prefer
our own variety.

MISPLACED.

When Il young brother Of James e.
Deery, judge Of the city court, wrote
back home from an army training
camp that he had q misplaced eye
brow" the judges father became all
worked up, says the indianapolis News.
He figured his son must have met with
an accident and the father conferred
with the young mans mother about It.
They together could only surmise that
one of his eyebrows had probably been
shot away.
Judge Deery was more familiar with
the slang of today and he eased his
fathers mind by telling him that a
mustache in slang Is spoken Of as a
misplaced eyebrow"

Tents Before Huts.

The scriptures make us more famil-
lar with tents than with huts. They
were invented before the deluge and
appear from the first to have been as
ISOLATED with the pastoral life to which
q movable habitation was necessary.
The patriarchal fathers of the Israel
ties were jewellers in tents, and their
descendants proceeded at once from
tents to houses. We find the same
true with the Assyrians. The first
tents were undoubtedly covered with
skins, of which there are traces in the
Pentateuch; but nearly all the tents
mentioned in the Bible were doubtless
of goats hair, spun and woven by the
women, such as are now in western
Asia, used by all who dwell in tents.
Tents of linen were, and still are, only
used occasionally for holiday or trav-
cling purposes by those who do not
habitually live in them.

"FeminaIIS" Are Worn.

One of the packing houses in the
stock yards in Chicago has persuaded
it's women employees to wear what II
calls "feminalls," another form of over@
alls. The women at first objected, but
as so much machinery with belts and
other contrivances that are likely to
used, the managers persuaded five
women to try it, and it was then easy
for the rest to don the feminalls. In
this particular place 1000 women are
employed, about three times as many
as last year, and much Of the work
they do was formerly done by men.

view Of the Jungfrau and the Ober-
land, l can see three or four play
grounds on the banks of the Aare. AL
ways in the afternoon these spaces arc
alive with youngsters. Their play
is well ordered. They run, jump. throw
the discus, pole vault and swim and
dive into the river. 1t is real play,
but is orderly. All are in good earn
est about it. The play doesn't degen-
crate into. horse play.
In our America it would be almost
impossible to maintain these play
grounds, except under the severest SUI
pervision. They would be picked to
pieces, strewn with litter and the
earnest work Of athletics turned into
some sort of buffoonery. Here the
play goes on apparently without su-
perintendence right up to dark.
The arrangement of this little city,
the squares and public buildings, the
municipal housekeeping are a model Of
painstaking and good taste. The won
derful river combines utility and
beauty. 1t twists and turns in it's

scape opportunities that have been
taken advantage of. After 1t reaches
