TO MAKE LACE FLAG
At LAFAYETTE'S HOME
$4,000 Women in Velay District Of
France Are Experts at
the Work.

A report from Paris announcing that
| the women of the Velay district of
| France are engaged in making lace
! flag with the colors of the United
States, to be presented to the first
American troops arriving in Europe.
| focuses interest on section of CEN
trail France which is of especial historic
Interest to the United States. because
IT was from this region that Lafayette
came. The National Geographic So
ciety. from it's Washington headauar-
tiers, issues the following bulletin on
velay:
| "It would be difficult matter for
all of the lacemakers Of the Velay to
| contribute a bit in the making of a
! lace flag for the first American con-
! tingent to arrive on the battlefelds OF
! France, for there are 10000 women OF
| this district who are engaged in the
! lace industry, or, to be more accurate,
! that number was thus engaged at the
| outbreak of the war. and while many
are still similarly employed. some have.
I of course. been diverted to the NUM-
tons factories.
| "Ve1ay ceased to be an Independent
| district in 1890, when it was incor-
porated into the department of Haute..
/ Loire, a part of the central plateau OF
| France traversed by four mountain
ranges. one of which preserves the
name of Velay
Statue of Captured Cannon.
1.-THE most considerable town in the
velay region is lie Puy en- Velay, the
former capital of the district. situated
/ in a natural amphitheater on the side
/ of Mont Anis. One of the most strik-
| ing features of the city is Mont Cor
nellie, precipitous volcanic rock;
| which rears its head to height OF 455
! feet Upon it's pinnacle has been erect
| ed a fifty-foot statue of the Virgin,
cast from 200 Russian cannons cap
| tured at Sebastopol during the Crlmean
war.

| of this region, and in LIE Puy monu-
ment has been erected to MS memory
| 1t is an interesting coincidence, IN con-
nection with the making of the Amer
| lean lace flag in the Velay, that 1t was
! Lafayette who, according to one YER
sion of it's origin. chose the natlonai
| colors of modern France On the 1Ith
of July. 1889. the French patriot Sc.
Iected the red and blue (the colors of
Paris) and the royal white for the
| French tricolor-the flag which is to-
day the recipient of so many honors
| in this country.
Sent Out Early Crusaders.
Just as she sent Lafayette to fight
for American independence, this Sec
ton of France sent the flower of it's
chivalry to the Holy Land to fight in
the first crusade, in 1896, and one of
LIE Puy's sons, Raymond d'Aiguille. or
d'Agiles, was the historian of the ex-
petition.
| 1.-The women of the velay are ex-
perts in the manufacture of lace of all
kinds, employing wooden, cotton, silk
linen, gold and silver threads. Other
activities of the region are chocolate
and cloth manufactures and a lively
trade in wool, grain and vegeta bles.''

Prof. HerfzOg Praises
 This Perfect Laxative
Dr.. Cd]d,OeB's Pepsin Syrilp a', Ideal Remedy for
 Constipation.

:. In every family there is more or less occasion for a laxative remedy. It is to meet this need that Dr. Caldwe1l's s Syrup Pepsin is. prepared, and that this combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin fuIf1lls it's purpose is proven by it's place in thousands of American homes.
 Prof. F. J.t c. Hertzog, the well known lingunst. 2341 North Orianna St., Philadelphia, Pa, wrote to Dr. Caldwell that he has used Dr. -Caid- walps Syrup Pepsin in his household
 with excellent results and that he and his family consider 1t indeed a friend in need. and always keep a bottle of it on hand.
 z Constipation is the direct cause of much serious illness and is a condition that should never be neglected. Harsh cathartics and violent purgatives should never be employed to relieve constipation, because the very yio- lence of their action shocks the entire system A mild laxative, such as pr. Caldwolfs Sprup Pepsin is Tar prefer able. being mild and gentle in it's ac- ton, without ariping or other pain or discomfort; it's freedom from all opiate' or narcotic drugs makes it an ideal remedy for children.

 President Wilson has just. named those who are to make UP the new tarif board. He has named for it's head Prof. TaussiE of Haryards a man who is upduestionahly well posted up on this matter but a man who is known to Eavpr a# low tArif. Prof. Taussig n1ust fherefere be looked upon as the one picked .by. the president to represent the interests of New Eng : land regardless of the fact that this is one of the big misunderstanding sec tions of the country and one which strongly favors a protective tariff. As far as being non partisan 1t iH proH- able that Prof. Taussig comes as near to that qualification as any on the board.
 There are two out and out demo- crats on the board. one republican and one progressive. while one of the number was a former republican. The only. restriction as to the politics of the members was that there should not be over three from one party and that appears to have been observed. but whether this hoard can or will render any better service to the ceun- try in the line of work for which they have been named remains to be seen.

THE COST OF SUCCESS.

The epitaph on the tombstone of the merchant who was Born a man and died grocer" hints at the price some people pay for what they call sues cess. How often the supreme busi- ness of making a life is swamped by the lesser business of making a Hv- ing! How often an occupation ptoves a prison house for manhood. restrict ing and eranping the free develop ment of the souli
 The word success with most people has come to have carefully special ized meaning: It is spelled $ucceSs. That rendering, to be suree may not be a wholly false one, since thrift is a virtue not to be despised. Accumula- ton of wealth.. even, may be a com mendable aim, if entered upon hon estly As the world is organized, sue cess in any line generally means some measure of financial reward.
 The consuming struggle for money, however, is sinful and. what is a blacker indictment, in the opinion of some. extremely foolish. He who trades heaith,y character. happiness. ease, family. to make two millions grow where one grew before has gotten the short end. of the bargain. He is no success but a failure, whe.n- CT he realizes it or not
 One is profited nothing who may gain the whole world, but forfeits his life in the process. It is better not to succeed 1T one cannot do so with out losing the essential values. As the lamented George Fitch remarked: Many a man is a business failure and has to rub along on $75 a month be- cause he has spent all the rest of his fortune buying reputation that can go on his tombstone without making anyone wink and grin"
 Success under modern conditions lies in doing one thing well. They who arrive must give themselves with unsparing devotion to a single line of effort It may easily happen that other things in life quite as important are thereby neglected. Success in one sphere may leave one in mature age bankrupt of other joys well worth while. The oft-quoted confession of Darwin is applicable to thousands of less famous people.

RussIA,s REuoLurIoN.

Russia has at last experienced what has several times been threatened, and from what promises to be the out come, it would have been an excellent thing for that country if the revolu- tion had taken place when first indi- cated. With the government failing to give the proper attention to the food supplies. the ezar having deter
 mined to put an end to the dunna and the effects of the German influence fully understood and opposed by the masses, the conditions were ripe for just such an overthrow of the govern ment as took place. The apparent act of disloyalty on the part of the sol diers was in reality a patriotic move. It was a move for the safeguarding of the government and the placing of it in the hands of those in whom they have faith. instead of further contrib uting to the administration of those who have been negligent of the coun-. try's interests if not actually playing into the hands of the enemy
 Russia has gone through many per- iods of uncertainty. It has even been claimed. that there were those in high places who were not above advocating a separate peace. if not actually en- deavorfng to put such a thing through, and the revolution furnishes good req sons for believing that this Uncertain ty has now been eliminated. Those who have taken over the government are for persistent and more deter- mined prosecution of the war. They are not for peace and they unques- tionably represent the feeling of the country It is apparent therefore that what has stood in the way of such a policy has now been removed. greater unity established and henceforth Rus a1<S give a different account of itself.
