Somewhere In France.-One of the
features of American military life In
France Is the municipal police work
performed by several companies In va
rlous parts of France.
In one town near TO the regional
camps l noticed very excellent ex-
ample of American adaptiveness to
any sort of work that necessity gives
rise to.
The captain of a certain company
who graduated from the American
school with high honors and the usual
grade was not long before he got pro-
NOTED to his present rank. He is be-
loved by his men and can "get any
thing out of them," 1t is said.
These men are not used to police
work. But that is no matter. They
do 1t all the same. In this company
alone l counted as many as 131 univer-
sity men. They are oil men who vol.
unteered for the army at the start
This shows the sort of stuff they are
made OF.

In the evenings you see groups OF
these military police stationed at va
rious parts of the city and patrollinl
about. In the day time they do the
same sort of work. They are detailed
to look after the American troops ant
see that they get fair play In any mis-
understandings that may arise.

The confectionery business OF the
country, measured by the value of Its
product, is about two-thirds as large
as the butter business, a little less
than one-third as large as the wheat
flour business, slightly larger than the
canning and preserving of fruits, and
about two-ffths as large as the bakery
business, according to Uncle Sans

The Language Question.

One Frenchman said to me:
IT cannot understand how 1t is that
your men who come-that is, so many
of them-from schools and colleges
where they are tsught French cannot
speak the language a little, anyhow"
Now this nettled me somewhat, and
replied "How is it that with all your
schools and colleges in France so few
of your people can speak a word Of
English? And how is 1t that the most
of them do not even want to learn Eng
lish7 Why is this?"
One of the many duties of the Ameri-
can military police is to arrest suspi-
cious characters. 1t would surprise
many to know that this sort of person
is particularly busy at the present time
and meets with severe experiences
when found out. American civilians

Sinking our duty, or DESERVING our colors,

Let us hope, however, that our tasks and

The subject of slavery then is one of the
great problems the founders of the national
government failed to solve and settle beyond
controversy, which is evidence that they
were not infallible guides in all things
Slavery could not be settled and remain in
existence in nation founded upon the
principle of equality of man and freedom
for ALL The solution made of the question
was constitutional protection of slavery
and the right for it to remain and exist in
the country. This was simply leaving the
question of final settlement for the future.
The future accepted the undertaking, and
slavery, like the establishment of free ma
ton, has been settled for all time, but not
all the problems that are connected with
the race of bondmen, freed There are many
and intricate problems associated with the
colored race which must in time be to a
certain extent at least solved The white
race must act with the cOlOred race or in
other words the races must act together:
because the coored race by the acts of the
white race has been made and is, perhaps
by Divine Decree, as much a part of the

Neither one or the other can be eliminated:
and all laws that discriminate against him
are laws discriminating against the Divine
decree, and against large part of the
people OF the nation, and against the actual
existing conditions of one branch of the
human race
The white races must do justice by the
colOred race or in time be again called upon
by divine wrath to settle at fearful cost.
Ii however we shape our national policy
for the best interests Of all the people with
out consideration Of color or race and do
justice to all we need have no fear of the
race problem or be concerned about social
or class differences; or dread labor and
capital controversies
While ethically we deplore the existence
OF slavery and regret the short sighted pol

was brought in Tor examination. He
is Is years old. associates with

The conference report on the post
Office appropriation bill does not
pay very much attention to the pro-
test of the postoffice employees in
regard 10 their accepting overtime
pay in lieu of compensatory time

The Senate passed the bill recent
ly and ignored the appeal of the
thousands OF employees who argued
that with the present small force,
the seventh day of the week was
sorely needed by. them for rest. This
feature of the bill, while it appears
to be a concession to the employees,
really works a hardship. the en-
ployes say, because of the fact that
they will invariably have to work
overtime when they need rest, and
be forced to accept overtime pay.

Acne makes its appearance on the

in scaly patches on different parts

The safest way to handle any
skin disease is to first purify the
blood with S S. S. and put it in
condition to do its work properly.
S. S. S. removes the humors from
the blood so the skin instead of be-
ing irritated and diseased. is nour-
ished by a supply of fresh. heal

of salves. washes, lotions. etc.,
while they are generally needed to
use locally in order to soothe the
itching and pain. caused by skin
affections, cannot permanently cure
the trouble because they do not
reach the blood.
S. S. S. goes down into the cir
culaton and forces out the for
