An Err y EXPEDITIONARY
ARMY, Oct. 2G. - Henriette isn't the
best waitress in France any more. She
still has the face of Jeanne dare and
the grace of Hebe, but she gets things
like beer and benedictine mixed up.
il the eggs are to be scrambled she
is just as like TO bring them sur la
plat. And she doesn't seem to care
It's all the fault of Marshal Joffre and
General Pershing.
The American general entertained
the great FrenchG:aa IN the little room
of the small hotel in the tiny town. The
newspaper men lent the room to Per-
shing for the occasion, and they also lent
their waitress. Henriette. They didn't
know what would happen. Yet they
should have known. Here was Henriette,
who cleans the boots and scrubs the
floors and waits upon American news
paper men every day Of her life in an
obscure French town. Sometimes n
captain comes this way and once there
was major in the reserve corps.
But on this particular evening she
stood within n few inches of the right
elbow of General "Pearshing" and the
left elbow of Marechal Jofrre. When
the dinner was done Marechal JofTrc
pinched her cheek and General "Pear-
shing" gave her the band off the big
cigar which he had smoked. Il is i'm
probable that she will ever again take
a truly personal interest in the way
the correspondents want to have their
eggs cooked.
Bronze Tablet or Better Soup
The woman who owns the hotel in
tends TO put bronze tablet in the
room where the dinner was held. The
correspondents are not altogether in
favor of the tablet They would
rather that madame should take the
money and buy some substantial in
gredient for the house soup avec beau
coup d'eau. The soup was not like that
when General "Pearshing" and Mare
chal Joffre sat at the table.
Henriette remembers what thew had
at that dinner down to the first hors
d'euvre. She has a habit now of paus-
ing with plates in her hand and point
ing out the seats where "Pearshing" sat
and Joifre. At such times she seems
more like Joan than ever. She can
LOOK straight at some reporter or other
who happens 70 be sitting in either Of
the sacred seats and transform him in
her minds eye to the hero Of the

order that no armory in the city be
used for dancing broke up the b;g
Thanksgiving dinner and entertainment
given to 1,2O0 soldiers and sailors in
the 18th Regiment Armory last night
and, according to men and women VINO
had engineered the affair, practically
spoiled the entire occasion.
Following the dinner, which con-
tanned all of the traditional Thanks
giving dishes, tables were pushee back
a band struck up and in few minutes
the floor was filled with women dane
ing with the men in blue and khaki. A
minute or two later the blast Of
bugle called all the uniformed men to
attention and an officer announced that
pursuant to General Dyer's order no
dancing could be permitted.
Leave After Dance Stops
Some Of the men looked shamefaced
as they escorted their partners back 20
their seats. Others appeared angry.
In a few minutes they began leaving
the armory and fifteen minutes later
most Of them had gone.
There they go,' said j. Varnum

planned the entertainment, as he

Look and Feel Clean, Sweet and
 Fresh Every Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash
 out poIsons.

Life is not merely to live, but to llvu well, eat well, digest well, work well, sleep well. look well. What glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is If one will only adopt ths morning inside bath.
 Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold. foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach, can. instead feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole Of the internal poisonous stagnant matter.
 Everyone, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning, before breakfast, drink glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t to wash from the stom- ach, liver, kidneys and bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the en.tre ali- mentary canal before putting more food into tho stomach. The action of hot water and limestone phosphate on an empty stomach Is wonderfully invigor- ating. It cleans out all the sour fer pentation, gases, waste and acidity and gives one splendid appetite for break fast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the water and phosphate is quietly extracting large volume Of water from the blood and getting ready for thorough flushing of all the inside organs.
 The millions of people who are both cred with constipation, bilious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism: others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from the drug store which will cost very little. but is efficient to make any, one a pronounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation.

EFFICIENCY OF HUPP
 IS DEMONSTRATED BY
 CROSS-COUNTRY TRIP
Every Sort of Road Condition En- cOuntered in 29,0OO-Mile
 Journey

No better example can be found of the efficiency of the modern motor car or of its ability to serve of any American no matter what or where his business : than the performance of the four-cylin- deer Hupmobile which was sent around the United States on it's 20,OOO-mie jour
 ney by J. Walter Drake" says Dan
 Drennen of the Birmingham Motor com pany
 This car had to negotiate every sort of road condition through every kind of climatic condition. There is no condi-
 ton which an owner of an automobile
 would have to meet that has not been faced and overcome by the members of the Hupmobile capital-to capital party on it's journey around the nation. The
 good roads of the far east and the far west, the partly improved roads of the central west, the gumbo of the north- Rockies. the mountain roads which called for travel of the south, proved all alike for this sturdy little car. It plugged along on it's steady grind day after day for four months without any chance for rest, and motors require rest the same as human beings
 This car travelled farther in four
 months than the average owner drives his car in four years. It demonstrated
 more than was ever demonstrated in any of the automobile contests, whether they have been held on race track or road just what an owner would have to over come in driving a car in these United States"

ERDEMANDFOR ILLYS-OVERLANDS
 THAN EVER BEFORE
Dealers Contract for 205,- GOO Cars in Three Weeks,
 Says Bailey

"The Willys-Overland company of Tol- edo, O., has had larger demand for it's product than ever before in spite of the fact that this demand occurs in the dead of winter, heretofore considered dull automobile season. said H. M Bailey oi the Overland Birmingham company.
 Not only did the dealers attending the big Willys- Overland convention al the Toledo factory last contract for 205,- GOO cars in less than three weeks time but they have backed this up by actua orders for immediate delivery of 24,5oi cars up to January 20 1017, less thar three weeks after the opening of the new season.
 At all automobile shows held thus fai the Willys-O Overland line has been the center of attention.
 From all indications, the Overland company is on the threshold of bigger year than it has ever experienced. It IS going to be successful season not only for us, but for the entire automobile in dustry. For years a shortage of automo- piles has been predicted, but 1t IS my opinion that in 1917 the supply is going tc fall far short of the demand
 Tn spite of this however, we are going to keep on manufacturing Overland ano Willys-Knight cars on a conservative basis Of course, there will be quan- tity production of our models.
 But our policy of seeing that our cars are right before being shipped will be rig idly adhered to, regardless of the pres sure of orders"

 Oiten when l hear a dog bowling over the noise coming out of a piano 1 think the creature is protesting in his feeble way over the musical massacre that is being perpetrated. When Sis Pendergrass commits a felonious assault on "Opus l0' by Isaac Cohen. where the notes loois like little niggers settin on rail fence, and the piano forte acts like it won't hold out until she gets done every hound on the plantation hows as if he had appendicitis. but when she tears off la recent tune like My Old Kentucky Home them dogs haven't word of criticism for that melody. In all your life you never heard a dog howl while a brass band was playin'-or when a dinner horn was blowin'
 Another thing about a dog, he won't eat pickles nor chaw terbacler. Jevver notice that a dog always turns around about three times before he beds down to sleep?

Most dogs is musical Some purps that I have been acquainted with was real operatic Looks to ne like the more eross-breeds there is in one of 'em, the more classical music boils out of him. I've got one particular kay-nine which displays an ancestry composed 5f flee. hound, cur, poodle spitz, Durham Berkshire, Wyandott and shep, whose musical gift bulges out all over him to the extent that have named him Kay ruso. Whenever one of these @all day sings, and dinner on the grounds strikes our neighborhood, Kay-ruso as- sists the lady who carries the treble worse than the wind blowing through the keyhole
 The congregation seems to think that Kay gets leetle too fervid in his up- per notes, and don't chord with the rest of the brethren, but I tell them the dog is handing out read opera. while the rest of 'em is merely singing common stick and dirt" melodies.

 Commerce is pushing the building Of railroads and opening up thousands of miles of territory says J M. Springer missionary from the Belgian Congo. 'lt is gathering the native youths, the best and brightest from their towns and vil- lageE teaching them industry, regular habits, mechanical skill; and whetting their appetites for knowledge
 As missionary goes along the railroad construction into the milling compounds into the native reservation sections of the towns, he is everywhere met with an appeal for books and teachers.
 There is absolutely no limit to the unparalleled opportunities for mission ary lahors among the youth of Africa today, as these are leaving the old life Of the kraals for the new life of the towns"

and however much he would like to re-
 tain his birthright and enjoy the asso-
 citations of his childhood, ne would be
 ousted as trespasser. Large acreages
 of tax titles have been registered against
 the real owner under the Torrens sys-
 tenn.
 Personally. l believe that the title com
 panles would have a very active business
 if the Torrens system was adopted in
 this state. The first thing an applicant
 would be required to do would be to fur
 nish an abstract of title, then each party
 who was made party to the proceedings would wish to know why he was brought in and whether or not, he or she had any real recoverable interest in the prop erty. This would necessitate the employ ment of an attorney
 l readily admit that we need legisla- tion along the subject of uniform laws governing the transfer of real property. of the proving of wills, of marriage and divorce and descent and inheritance, but under our equity system we have a method of settling title which is much more effective, much simpler and devoid of the various complications and fees in- cident to the Torrens system.
