PAUL DESCHANEL.

M. Paul Deschanel, president of the French Chamber of Deputies and one of the most powerful of French statesmen, is now in his sixtythird year. He was born in Brussels, where his father, distinguished au
 thor and statesman, was then residing, having been exiled from France by the government of Napoleon III, on account of the author attacking Cath olicism. Pau Deschalnel was educa- ted at the College St. Barbe and the Lyceum Condorcet. He entered pub lie life in 1879 as secretary general of Seine ct -Marne. He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies, and in 1896 became ce-president of the chamber.

 crisis in the long history of France. Like President Poincare, M. Descha- mel is a distinguished author, and a member of the French Academy. He was chosen one of the forty immor- tals" in 1899, ten years before M. Poin- care entered the charmed circle of Frances intellectual elect.

 It must be remembered, however. that no matter how large the daily sales may be we cannot afford to slacken our speed one minute if we are tG go "Over the Top" in this drive and prove to our brave bows at the front that we are behind them to the last dollar as they are. .n Iron, of us to the last man.

 Prune Pits and Nut Shells

Sounds like useless stuff, but the Government wants all such products because the carbon or char coal obtained from them is needed in vital part of the gas masks made for our soldiers in France.

This seems a small matter but it is an important service and your cooperation is earnestly re- quested.
