After Any Illness
Getting Well Means Gaining
Strength---A Wholesome Tonic

The getting-well stage OF grip, pneu-
monia or other illness is the most
dangerous of all because the body,
weakened by the disease, is wide open
to attacks of other lurking germs.
That is why all the organs of the
body must be kept in their best work
ing order, not only to drive out the
poison left by the disease, hut that the
patient shall regain strength as soon
as possible to avoid further attacks
resulting from the poisons in the sys-

U FOR EUROPE.

our European brethren have always jeered at
America for Our gum-chewing habit. And now Europe
itself is chewing gum.
4 big English business an arrived in New York the
other day with orders from the British government to
buy large quantities. of gum. He reports that an American
gum factory. opened in En- gland a short time ago, is
80 overrun with business that il is six months behind
in its orders
The guE. L. appears, is mostly consumed in the
army. The British officers encourage their men TO use
81. When the practice was first introduced, early in the
war, by Canadian troops and American volunteers, it
was frowned upon. But the army authorities have seen
a new light. They find that the gum is a pretty good
substitute for tobacco Chewing. like smoking. tends 70
quiet the nerves. II therefore has a military use, par
ucularIy during the strain Of waiting in the front
trenches during "a bombardment. And the doctors say
that it's preferable TO tobacco. The men tend to smoke
too much. They get so much nicotine into their sys-
TENS that their nerves are further irritated instead Of
being soothed. And when an excessive tobacco-user is
wounded. il takes the wound longer to heal. Any sub
sutuuon Of gum for tobacco is therefore considered
a clear gain.
This is comforting news 20 Americans. Not that we
take any special pride in our national vice Of chicle-
masucauon. We know that it's a disagreeabIe habit.
But now We won't feel the reproach so keenly. II
we were consistent. however. we'd accept the real les
son involved. and leave the chewing to the soldiers.

SEM THEM LIVE BOOKS.

An army captain who has spent eight months with
our boys m France says that the greatest need OF tn,
American soldiers over there is books and magazines.
They need them in the bilets where the men are
lodged during relief from trench duty. They need them
in the Y. II. G. A. huts and other recreationaI cen
ters. They need them in all the rest villages behind
the lines They need them IN the hospitals where the
sick and wounded are.
But don't imagine, he says. that any old kind Of
reading matter will DO.
Send live books for live young men," he urges.
Avoid dusty fossils and long-fOrgoten volumes hid
den away in your atties- Send them books from your
own active bookshelves. The stories should be Of the
vigorous. up-to-date type"
There is too much OF a tendency, when people give
away books. to give those in WHOM they themselves
are not interested. In the present case particularly this
is precisely what they should not do. II the owner
doesn't care for a certain book, why should ne imagine
that sammy will care for II? sammy's a live wire

selves are giving.

PERSHING'S HOROSCOPE.

Tine ever-busy astroloser has been turning out the
horoscope of Gen. Pershns. The astrologer is very
apt to estimate character with success. when it comes
10 making prophecy. it's a different matter. Perhaps
tho astroIoger doesn't cast his horoscope quite ac-
curately i'm these materalistic days. Perhaps he for
gets some obscure but necessary factor. Maybe he
interprets wrongly the horoscope correctly cast. 60
maybe astroIogy isn't a safe way of telling the flu
ture. but his predictions are usually interesting. Here
is the latest pronunciation.
Gen. P~ershing's birthday is Sept. 10, 1860.
His horoscope reads that he can control
others through his energy and strength. He
is destined during 1913 to move with eXplo-
sive rapidity and to batter down all the de-
lenses erected against his progress"
IL didn't really take an astrologer 20 tell the Amer
lean people either that Gen. Pershing could rule
others through his energy ard strength, or that dur
ing this year OF his big test he would move with
explosive rapidity and bate down all defenses erect
ed against his progress If we hadn't known that
before. we shouldn't have put him where he is. How
ever. now that ne is where he is, IL gives US a knc
OF cheerful feeling that we were justified by the stars.
That the war is to continue for two years more is
the astrologic prediction from the same source. May.
be so. We hope it won't. But if il does, and if we go
on learning lessons Of cooperation and usefulness as
fast in the next two years as w have in the past II
months. Wen sure be wonders when Jupiter and
