LEADERS STILL CONFIDENT

General Foch expresses the utmost confidence in his
ability to stop the German advance and to hold Amiens.
He is classed as the greatest s~trategist in Europe" and
as head Of all the allied forces on the western front no
doubt knows whereof he speaks. At the same time the
steady advance of the Germans, their daily encroaching
lust a little further on first the British and then the
French fronts gives cause for--let us say--uneasineSs.
A great battle is now being fought and its outcome will
either remove this feeling of uncertainty or show that
there was cause for it. Leaders OF all the allies are
confident and so long as they are SO, it lily becomes us
folk to doubt them. At the same time it is quite
certain there will be a feeling of much greater confidence
when the Hun is forced back so he is no longer within
striking distance of the Amiens railroad. While there are
other railroads between Calais and Paris, Amiens is on
the main one and it's capture by the Germans would be
hailed at home as a great victory, and that just now is the
one thing that is to be avoided. Germany is beginning to
realize the tremendous price she has paid for practically
nothing, certainly nothing more than she voluntarily
abandoned a year ago, as of little or no value. If the Ger
man people are forced to realize that that is all they are
to get for their sacrifice of half a million of the flower of
her youth, it will be more than a victory for the allies. If
however it can be pointed out that they have made sub
stantial and important gains by the sacrifice it will go far
to tighten the effects of the losses. Apparently that is
what Hindenburg is trying for now, for if he fails to ac-
complish his aims in this drive he will be greatly dis
credited, and his reputation as the super-man will vanish.

THE PRESIDENTS SPLENDID Def

President Wilson in his address before a great liberty
loan gathering at Baltimore yesterday placed the Hun in
his true light before the world. Discussing the offers Of
peace made by Germany and Austria he called attention
to the fact that while the civil representatives of these
countries p~lausibly talked peace that Americas statement
Of the terms on which she was willing to discuss peace
were answered not by these same civil. leaders and repre-
sentatives of their governments but by the military lead
ers of the German armies in Russia, Ukraine, Rumania
and Finland. These had said that force alone should
decide. Answering this the president said: Il accept the
challenge. know that you accept il. All the world shall
know that you accept it. 1t shall appear in the utter
sacrifice and self-forgetfulness with which we shall give
all that we love and all that we have to redeem the world
and make it fit for free men like ourselves to live in. This
now is the meaning of all that we do" The president has
stated in unmistakable language the position taken by
this country and that held by the junkers of Prussia. 1t
is an unanswerable statement and backed as it will be by
the whirlwind rush of Americans to put their money be-
hind the government in its battle for world freedom, it
will not fail to impress even the most radical of the
militarists and convince them that the new world is put
ting its youth and strength into the battle for the rights
of man as against those of autocrats, for the rights of
the masses as against militarism, for right itself against
might.

Diston Shook was a methodieal young
man. He had a system for everything
So, when he made up his mind to woo
the fair Sasphia Blunt, he reasoned
thuswise:

For four months he took a night
school course in household engineering
Then he began calling on SasPhia
Blunt.
The first evening he discovered that
the parlor clock wasn't working, and
whipping out his little box of pocket
tools, he repaired it.
Gradually Sasphia and her mother
came to depend on him. They got IN
the way, quite as a matter Of course, OF
asking him to attend to broken window
cords, spiggOt washers, etc.

ton Shook thought to himself, after
three months had gone by. Then one
evening when he called, Sasphia' s moth

confidently. "Mr. Shook, you're a real
treasure around a house, so handy and
all. and as I 50 often say to Sasphla,
In don Z know what we'd ever do without

Disston Shook waited with eyes down

the better honeymoon.
"Mr. Snook-Disston, my daughter,

1t is often difficult to draw an &C
curate line between neuritis and
neuralgia.
Take, for instance, the %atrocious
pain in the back of the thigh and
leg called sciatica; it may show, in
the ordinary bedside examination,
clear evidences of inflammation,
Of the sciatic nerve except sensitive
ness and pain; but if a portion Of
the nerve were removed and ex-
amined with the microscope, very
clear evidence of inflammation,
that is of neuritis, would probably
be found.
The person who has the ailment
isn't concerned very much about the
name; what he wants is TO get rid
of his pain and get well. In true
neuritis there is Inflammation of
the nerve substance, and more or
less degeneration Of the nerve fib-
rils.
A nerve is a bundle of nerves, or
filaments, each with its separate
structure, bound together with
cementing material and covered
with a protecting sheath. like. an
electric cord or cable.
Inflammation may destroy a por-
ton Of the nerve, but it may be re-
generated unless the loss is great
One or many nerves may be in
voIved in a neuritis, the destruction
of tissue may be slight or extensive,
and the trouble may last a few days
or many years.
The pain Of it may be bearable
or unbearable-an acne, OF a stab,
or Just sensitiveness.
The skin may be swollen and
glossy. with sweating and a crop OF
blisters following the track OF the
nerve.
The joints may be swollen, per-
manently stiffened. and contain
fluid. II the nerves r badly In
jured. the muscles 70 which they are
distributed viii shrivel and wlther.
If the nerve system in general is
involved. the patient may get hys-
terical or excited or even crazy.

ness couldn't quite dampen the pleas
urable excitement l felt.
But with one of his unexpected
changes, that | never would learn to un-
derstand, he came down to the break
fast table in perfect good humor. We
were alone, Mrs. Sexton having left the
night before-giving as her excuse the
illness Of some relative; but really go
ing because of her promise, to me, to
leave before George returned, so that
he would not give her the credit of the

leave my place beside the coffee urn
and tell him that l loved him. But l only
flashed a smile in return and told him
that would be quite all, but that he
must be sure and have as nice a cos
tune as he could get.
"You know you are handsomer than
any of the other men who are coming,
and 1 want you to look the best Of any
of them.'
81 hope 1 shall succeed in pleasing,
your ladyship," he said rising from the
table, and kissing me goodbye. So, as
often happened, he had made me happy,
after all. 1t was a pity he did not, often

GEORGE RETURNS
CHAPTER XLyI.

1 was in bed when George came home.
1t was the day before my dinner party,
and Mrs. Sexton had suggested that l
retire early so that / might look fresh
the next night. l had not expected my
husband until morning, SO had agreed
to do as she suggested.
l awakened with a start.
"Who is it ~ l called.
"'Only mel'' and after switching on
the lights George came over to the bed
and kissed me.
l flung my arms around his neck. l
was very glad to see him; and that he
had returned ever so little before l ex-
pected him, was added happiness.
"There, you are hurting my neck :
he said and Embossed my arms. 81 shall
be sorry / CAME, ana so Weakened you,
if you get so excited"
/ was excited no longer. His speech
had been, as mother used to say, like
a bucket of cold water, - | erept back
between the sheets, with a muttered APP
ology. But 1 couldn't keep keep quiet
for long and, while he was undressing,
L asked:
''Did you have a good trip2"
"Fairly."
81 was so afraid you wouldn't get
back in time for my dinner"
81 never break an engagement, I'M
less it is unavoidable. l told you l should
remain with you the night of your din
ner. I intend to do so, no matter how
much it bores me-"
Another Rebuff.
l felt as if a second bucket of cold
water had been thrown over me. And the
ever ready tears rushed to my eyes Sur
reptitiously, L wiped them away with a
.corner of the sheet. | dared not get up
to get a handkerchief for fear George
would notice the tears and scold.
s'I'm tired. 1t was an uncomfortable
trip. There was a slight accident that
held us up a couple of hours. l think
/ will sleep in the other room" and
before he scarcely had finished speak
ing. he was gone and the door between
closed tightly.
For some time 1 lay trying, once more
to adjust myself. / seemed to be making
no slightest progress in winning his at
lection. 1t was terribly discouraglng.
He might have cared enough to want to
kiss me a second time-when he had
been away so long.
Then came the thought: he said
there had been an accident. How light
ly he had spoken of it. Perhaps he had
been in danger. 1 turned first hot, then
cold, at the awful thought. But, after
awhile, my mind reverted to my dinner
party. l was wide awake, and | remem-
bered every word that George had said.
He was so particular about breaking an
engagement, that it had seemed as If 1t
were that which made him stay home
to my dinner, more than because he
wanted to please me. "But he's goin
to be there, was my last thought as,
once more, l fell asleep.
In. the morning he slept late, and
grumbled audibly when | at last awak-
ened him.
''If had cared to be awakened, l
should have said so,' was his reply,
when I timidly reminded him of the
time.
''But you always want to be called

and closed the door.

Neuritis.

there is not only whitening of the
muscles, but twitching; bending OF
the fingers and toes; possibly falling
of the nails; grey hair; and other
symptoms of bad nutrition.
Causes of neuritis are draughts Of
air, dampness, heat or cold, cuts and
bruises, poisons like lead, arsenic,
mercury opium and alcohol.
1t may also result from tubercu-
losis, syphilis, Inflammation of the
bones, bacterial poisoning in typhoid
fever, diphtheTia, and malaria.
1t may come as an epidemic, like
beri-beri, or with an eruption on the
skin like shingles.
1t may be due to pressure-for in
stance the pressure of crutches in the
arm-pits.
1t may begin with a chill and
fever, develop slowly or rapidly, may
paralyze the muscles of speech,
swallowing, and respiration and be
quickly fatal; or it may be long
drawn-out and finally cause death
from pneumonia or tuberculosis.
Its treatment involves many agen-
cies, some helpful, others question
able or useless.
Rest is always an important
measure of treatment. Other meas
ures are moist and dry, heat, cold,
massage, electricity, vibration irri-
tants, blisters, light, etc.
Drug treatment is sometimes Of
great Importance, especially in re-
lieving pain.
Cathartics are often required and
must be changed as their efficiency
