own choice and because Of his own pa
tliotism He has earned a first lieu
tenancy in the British service and the
commission awaits him as BON as he
cares to claim it. A captaincy is sure
TO follow. For in this latest exploit
Of his he received twenty-five bits Of
shrapnel shell-bullets and fragments
Of shell casing-in his body, and has
received the distinguished service
Iredal which, when he accepts his com
mission, is changed upon request to
the distinguished service order and
this, except only for the Victoria cross,
is about the highest military honor the
world has to offer.
Yet Mr. McClintock's services could
not be accepted by tn ecountry of his
birth Congress had not acted.
Still, there was a reply sorts. MI
McClintock received from the authori-
ties a pamphlet entitled How to Be
come a Seemed Lieutenant" telling him
to go to school in some camp or other
ard learn what he IN infinitely more
capable of teaching than nine out of
ten of those who in that case would be
his instructors To suggest that Presi-
dent Wilson should go through a
course Of instruction in order to be
come a college freshman would hardly
be more absurd. Yet this pamphlet,
absurd to the point of insult though
i might be, this pamphlet was the
best that the authorities could do.
Congress had not acted
So Mr.. McClintock, unless he re-
ceiyes some unexpected information
which would lead him to do otherwise,
will return to the British service, and
we will lose him.
Now, no loyal American desires just
now unduly to criticise our govern
ment. This is no time for indistrimin-
ate slams" A respectful question,
however, is still justifable
Mr.. McClfntock's case is by no means
an isolated one In the Allied armies
are more than sixty thousand Ameri-
cans, nine out of ten anxious to come
back and fight for Uncle Sam if Uncle
Sam will take them at anything like
their proper value. In the country it
self there are many-not by a tenth
part as many as one could wish, but
still many-trained and experienced
officers, long past the days of their
second lieutenanthood but still of ser
vice age, who are ready and anxious
to join the colors. Not political graft

The attack upon the sultans city
is realistic and wonderful, thou
sands of men being engaged in the
desperate struggle and the burning
of the city is another thriller.
If Mr.. Fox spent a million dollars
to produce this picture, he got one
hundred cents for each dollar spent
and his books balanced right to the
dot when they were examined by the
auditor. 1t is one Of the greatest
films Of the day and marvellous
example of the wonderful art and
science which has followed the de-
velopment Of the motion picture bust
ness.
A large orchestra adds to the per-
Torrance, but it is entirely forgotten
at times by the beauty and excite
ment Of the pictures. From an arts
tic standpoint "a Daughter of the
Gods" could hardly be excelled. AS
an interesting story, there are none
better. It's one of the big screen
sensations of the country.

The most eminent physicians recog-
nize that uric acid stored up in the
system is the cause Of govt and rheu-

analysis at the Surgical Institute In
Buffalo, N. Y. DR.. Pierce discovered
a combination of native remedies that
he called Anuric. which drives out the
uric acid from the system, and in this
way the pain, swelling and inflama-
ton subside. If you are sufferer
from rheumatism, backache, pains

The very best possible way to take

Get Rid of Humors

Humors in the blood cause internal
arrangements that affect the whole
system. as well as pimples, boils and
other eruptions. They affect all the
organs and functions. membranes and
tissues, and are directly responsible
Tor the readiness with which some
people contract disease.
For forty years Hoods Sarsaparilla

other medicine in expelling humors
and removing their inward and out

its thoroughness in purifying the
