ENGLISH WOMEN DOING "BIT"
Now Engaged In Forty Lines Of
War Employment In the
British Isles.

London.-Those who have thought
that the women of England might not
have been doing their bit In the prose
cution of the war were astonlshed
when they entered the imperial war
exhibition at Burlington House to see
forty different uniforms worn by wom-
en- in service. These show that wom-
en- are engaged as messengers, NUM-
ton and agricultural workers, nurses,
etc, and that they are the pride of the
girlhood Of the country.
Not satisfied with this showing the
women managers OF the exhibition
have issued an appeal to have women
engaged in out of the way positions re-
port, that their jobs may be added to
the daily increasing lists.

NEED PATRIOTISM
TO END THE WAR

who have gone over have more or less
adopted the attitude of Well, we're
sorry for you Trenches, but you
don't know how to fight. Now that
we've come over We'll show you a
thing or two OF course we that
have been born and reared In Amer
lea understand that attitude. War
Is 80 new to this great peaceful coun-
try that even after these years of the
struggle 1t is impossible for us to
realize how big thing and how ter.
rible thing we are up against. We
are like big overgrown boy trust
ing to his large muscle and cheerful
ness against prize fighter whose
methods he knows absolutely nothing
about, and therefore he cannot know
how strenuous an adversary he has
to underestimate his strength and to
patronize others who seek to caution
him against the fighter. The French
do not understand this at all and are
inclined to resent 1t. This, to my
mind, is one of the unfortunate facts
so far of our going over and ! be-
lleve our officials when they come to
realize, viii try to eradicate the spirit
and put us on more of comrade-
ship basis towards those who have
suffered so much and whom we have
gone out to help"

GERMAN PRISON
BLIGHT is LIMITED

London.-All England has been
stirred by the return of 800 soldiers
and civilian prisoners of war from
Ruhleben, Germany, some Of whom are
fishermen who were surprised by the
Germans In the North sea Immediately
after the declaration of war, and had
therefore been prisoners almost from
the first day of hostilities.
II is not because of the stories they
tell, for their lips have been sealed so
far as their own sufferings are con-
cerned by order of the government,
The remark of one of the civilians to
an old friend who met the party-"We
are fairly all right but we have all got
bari ed-wire fever"--is said TO contain
the whole story. Englishmen know
what that means, and there is nowhere
any desire to reverse the governments
order.

ALCOHOL Is NOT
A STIMULANT

THE tradition that alcohol was a
stimulant and tonic and possessed
some power to give new forces and
vigor to the cells and functional ac-
tivity is a thing Of the past. Studies
of exact science in the laboratory
show that alcohol Is a depressant, an
ecthetic and narcotic; also that its
first effects on the sensory centers
are to diminish their acuteness and
pervert their activity. In this way
they delude the victim with a con-
seriousness Of vigor and strength tina,

ments. The first effect Of alcohol, In

TEETH AND TRADE.
The Old King of Maneaia Fooled the
Hustling Ship Captain.


The following story of a clever and
enterprising trader, whose foresight,
because of the longevity Of a native
king, profted him nothing, appears in
Right Hon. R. j. Seddon's "Visit to
the South Sea Islands,"
l have spoken, says the author, Of
Numangatini, the old king of Mangaia
Gather of the present King john, who
was said to have lived to the advanc-
ed age of ninety-eight years and to
have had three sets of teeth, the last
set cut when he was ninety years old!
The statement was often received with
incredulity by visitors, who believed
it to be a legend without any true
foundation. Referring to this king Of
Mangaia, however. the following an
ecdote is told:
An old ship trader, Captain John Ell
licott, who was an Englishman by
birth, but ultra American by preference
and adoption, used to visit Mangaia
with his vessel at times. On one occa-
sion the captain noticed that Numan.
gatini was getting old; indeed, he
seemed to be in the last stage of de-
crepitude with only a week or two Of
life left in him, so he said to himself,
old man, there will be a big funeral
feast and much wailing for you; hun
dreds of people will come to it and
wear mourning. white man fashion.
for the dead king"
So he lifted anchor and sailed as
fast as he could for Tahiti There he
bought thousands of yards Of black
print and hurried back to Mangaia.
When he returned he found, to his
horror, that Numangatini had started
on new lease of life. HE had been
only cutting his teethY said the de
ceived sailor sadly, when relating the
tale long afterward mot only did
the old chief refuse to die himself, but
not a single person Of consequence

years. l carried that accursed black
