Also, by this time some of the men
Rad lost their heads completely; In
fact, had gone violently crazy, and the
rest of us were afraid of them. We
were all thinking of the fight that
might occur any moment between the
Yarr0wdale and some other vessel and
we knew we were In the Iikeliest place
fer the vessel to be struck. Even
though we were not hit a%midships, II
the ship were sinking we did not think
the Germans would give us a chance to
eKcape. We figured from what they
had said that we would go down with
the ship. And going down on a ship In
which you are a prisoner is quite diff
ferent from going down with one for
which you have been fighting. You
arrive at the same place, but the feel
ing Is different.
Some Of us thought Of overpowering
the crew and taking the vessel into our
hands. and we got the rest Of
the sane or nearly sane men together
and tried to get up a scheme for doing
vas strong for the plan and 50
were several others. but the Limey Of
dcers who were with US advised
against II. They said the Germans
were taking us to a neutral country.
where we would be interned, which
was just what the Germans had told
as, but what few Of US believed.
Then Some others said that IL we
started anything the Germans would
fire the time bombs. We replied that
at least the Germans would go west
with us, but they could not see that
there was any glory In that. For my
self. I thought the Germans would not
Gre the bombs until the last minute.
and that we would have q chance at
the boats before they got all Of III
anyway. There were only thirteen
German sailors on board. besides their
commander. This last Hun was
named Badewitz.
So the pacifists ruled, because we
could not do anything unless we were
all together, and there was no mutiny.
T.scy said we were hotheads, the rest
OF us. but I still think we could have
made a dash for II and overpowered
our sentries, and either gone over the
side with the lifeboats. or taken over
the whole ship. 1t would have been
better for us II we had tried. and IL
the pacifists had known what was
coming to us they would have fired
the time bombs. themselves rather
than go on into TINT future. How
ever. that is split milk.
We were not allowed to oroh the
portfolios while we were In the bunk
ers. under penalty of death, and there
IN the dark. In thg.t shrinking air, 1t Is
no wonder many Of Us went crazy.
Among us was q fellow named Har-
rington. about six feet tall and weigh
tng $50 pounds. He seemed to be all
right mentally. but some OF us
thought afterwards he was crazy.
Anyway. / do moi blame him for what
he did. Harrington rushed up the
0ddley and opened the door. There
was 4 German sentry there. and Har-
yington made q swing at him and then
grabbed his bayonet. The sentry
yelled and some others came down
from the bridge and shot Harrington
through the hand. After they bad
beaten Harrington pretty badly, the
bull OF the bunch. Badewitx himself,
came over and hammered Harrington
all around the deck Then they put
MIN IN irons and took him to the chart
room.

As long as the flowers their perfume
give,
SO long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for a million years,
With nothing to drink but Belgian
tears;
With nothing to quench his awful
thirst
But the salted brine Of Scotchman's 5

Served from silver on a golden tray
Served with things both dainty and
sweet;
Served with everything but things
TO eat.
And I'd make him n bed Of silkCn

With costly linens to lie between
With covers Of down and fillets Of
lace,
And downy pillows piled in place.
Yet, when TO his comfort he would
yield.
Il would stink with the rot Of the bat
tleheld.
And blood and bones and brains Of

New York, Jan. 30--All over our country January is known as the month for white sales Then it IS we thoughtful ones lay in supplies of table and household linens and materials for lingerie to last the year through. This year, there are more sales than ever, and the wonderful bargains in silk remnants for the mid-season and Easter frocks, and dainty voiles and other summery goods.
 If one could only keep ones head when suddenly surrounded by these endless possibilities, one could really work wonders with a slender purse. So perhaps, it would be an excellent idea to make list before the shop ping hour, of just what is absolutely necessary and also of the different uses of the materials which will probably be on sale.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER
Wash the poisons and toxins from system before putting more
 food into stomach.
Gays inside-bathing makes any one look and feel clean,
 sweet and refreshed.

Wash yourself on the inside. before breakfast like you do on the outside This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisOns, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sus' tain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day. a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing. sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on inside-bathing. Men and women who are accustomed to wake up with a dull, aching head or have furred tongue, bad taste, nasty breath, sallow complexion, others who have bilious attacks, acid stomach or constipation are assured or pro nounced improvement in both health and appearance shortly.
