How to Live CheapIy.

There is at least one family in Eng
land which can snap its fingers at Lord
Rhondda and whose members are not
to be found in food queues. The head
of the family recently wrote to Lon
don newspaper that himself, wife and
family of four have lived for IA weeks
wholly on raw vegetable salads made
of grated turnips, carrots, parsnips,
beets, cabbages, ETC., together with
fruit salads, toast and porridge, and
says they are all much stronger and
healthier as a result. They use neither
tea nor coffee and grow their own vege-
tables, and so may be regarded as the
most Independent family in England

GOT HIS CITIZENSHIP PAPERS
Judge Decided That Man With Two
Sons in the Army Was Fully
Entitled to Them.

When an alien gives two sons to the
American army he is entitled to citizen
ship, although he may not know much
about the Constitution of the United
States. So ruled Judge Thompson re-
Gently when he granted final papers to
Antonio Potento, an Italian laborer. Po-
tento is sixty years old and has been
here 10 years. He flunked completely
upon questions concerning the Consti-
tuition.
"Why do you want to become citi-
zen?" he was asked.
Potento, who found difficulty in un-
derstanding the English language,
managed to explain:
81 want to be naturalized for my two
boys who are in the army"
"Any man who has given two sons to
the service of this country is attached
to the principles of America and is en-
titled to citizenship" remarked Judge

of Andre Champion, French citizen
who has taken out first papers and
who ought to be In the French army
but is in the American navy.
He received word at Montreal,
while visiting friends that he had
been called in the French draft He
obtained from the French consul in
Montreal his fare to New York, with
instructions to board a ship for
France

life of Jack tar in the American

that OF a poilu in the French army.
So he presented his first papers to
the naval recruiting officers and was
sworn in Saturday, A few hours lat
er it was discovered that he really be-
Ionged to the French army and that
he had used the French governments

Name for Soldiers in
France Fixed at Last

PARIS, July 12.-At last it seems to
be settled-the name those Ameri-
can doughboys are to be known by
in France.
First it was 'Sammies." The sol
diers didn't like that. Gen Pershing
himself expressed disapproval of it,
Then it was "Buddies.Y That mon
icker arose from the habit of the
soldiers themselves of calling each
other Buddy"
''Huskies'' was next. The London
people called them that when they
marched though the streets because
that's what they looked like.
But the name that seems destined
to stick Is "Yanks."
Nothing can he said for "Yanks"
on the ground of its novelty. The
Johnny Rebs'' of the civil war first
made it popular by applying 1t to
the federal soldiers and if you trace
it back to Yankee it is older than
that.
The British "Tommies" and their
officers have fixed on "Yanks'' and
are applying it to the Americans
quite generally on the whole front,
whether they like 1t or not.
