are Working Hard in France
Under Difficulties Shown

You may know what it is to
be lonesome, but just imagine your
self away over here for more than a
year among people you never saw be-
lore and some you never want to see
again." writes Lieutenant Malcolm
Mcfarland, of the engineers, some
where in France to his parents here.
But we must all stick together to the
great purpose and hit the call seven
days in the week from. sea to sea.
"A lot of our men are working at
night, as operations never stop. All
the men have talked with have de-
cided to do nothing for a year at
least. after it is over. My little part
of the railroad is going pretty coed al
though we are short of really exper-
fenced men. However, we serve the
ships with cars, and for two days
past. our little port has thrown more
tonnage per ship per day, than any
port in France and some of them are
equipped with new machinery ana
plant. while we are struggling along
with the same old layout that was
here at the start.
THE great thing here is to Keep

are working to a great end anu ut

do is to initiate the spirit in that let

POLITE SWEARING.

Answers, London: One OF the draw.
backs of modern speech is that in
using 1t 1t Is difficult not to swear.
When l told a man that the other
day, he asked me what the dickens"
/ meant. and became quite ruffled
when l told him not to swear at me.
1.-THE dickens" OF course, has no
reference to Charles Dickens, but Is
a name for the devil, perverted from
Nick" The expression is as old as
Shakespeare, for one Of the Merry
Wives of Windsor remarks, IT can
not tell what the dickens his name
is"
What the deuce" Is fairly obvious,
but 1t seems a little difficult to trace
the diabolization of the Latin Deus.
The fact is that Celtic mythology in
cluded a hairy wood demon named
Dus, and in popular speech the two
passed into one. Dus was Scarf,
hence the expression "Old Scratch"
commonly used.
And, then. what is dear dear"

Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stom-
ach, fermentation of food, distress af-
ter eating and indigestion. and seek
relief in large chunks of artificial d.
gesters, are killing their stomachs by
inaction just as surely as the victim
of morphine is deadening and injuring
beyond repair every nerve In his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is a good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elasti-
city into it, and make it sturdy enough
to digest hearty meal without arti-
ficial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists ev-
erywhere, and is rigidly guaranteed
to build UP the stomach and cure indi-
gestion, or money back.
This prescription is named Mona,
and Is sold in small tablet form in
large boxes, for only few cents. Re-
member the name, Mona stomach
tablets. They never fail.

you often swear. Be careful: you
were just going to say. "Oh. dear. is
that so?" Weren't you now? And
only the other day I heard you say

History includes some strange
oaths. The favorite Of William the
Conqueror was "by the splendor Of
God" which has fine, noble ring.
William Rufus came in a feeble sec

Richard / made poor attempt

King Johns supposed dealings with
the Jews lend grim appropriateness
to his oath "by Gods teeth"
