but 1t was only recently that the ex-
pertinent was made with gas poisoning.
The results In every instance have been
highly gratifying. The old treatment
for gas poisoning was stimulants and
the inhalation OF oxygen. but these
were practically Of no use. Pulmotors

and they have been Americans every
day since. Had the husband been at
home that fateful afternoon he would
have been compelled to become a SOL
der again and would have been mixed
up IN the fortunes OF the war that
wreStled Alsace- Lorraine from France
a proceeding that ever since has been
regarded as a travesty on justice.
Mr.. Grey was a section boss in ILL
nois until 1879. In Germany he was
tclcgrapner, and had he mastered the
English language soon enough would
have been in line for promotion. but
he had to learn to read and write Eng
lisa, and the work OF earning living
for a wife and three children made the
task a big one. However, he accom-
plished that aim in course Of time, but
he decided to move to Iowa and be-
come a farmer and so In 1879 he
settled on a farm near State Center,
where he reared his family. He and
his wife have been married over flftS-
five years, and they are a happy couple
to this day. If he ever liked his glass
OF grog, the former German soldier
does not betray it now, for his has
been a life of plain living and high
thinking. He is tall, erect. and has
carriage that bespeaks his years OF
military training in his youth. He does
not look to be over so or 60 years OLD,
and believes he will live to see the
century mark. His views OF Germany $
political status are those of the time
in which he lived there, but which arc
said to be no more by such high au-
thority as MI Kuhn, the great inter-
national financier who has been going
to and from the fatherland every year
since his boyhood.

this would be running after him. !
know him so well that l am sure he
would not look at 1t in that way. Do
you think 1t would be all right for me
to do it for him?
NINETEEN.
Inc boy will have no cause to think
you are running after him. 1t Is per
mlssibie to knit for strangers who are
IN the war. and surely If you can knit
Tor stranger you can knit for a good
friend.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: am a high
school girl and l need money for
books. My father does not live at

where he is for several years. She
needs all the money she can earn just
for us to live on Do you think |
could earn money embroidering? |
have not money to buy the materials,
but might find some one who would
furnish them and pay me for the
work? What do you think?
EDNA r.
You would make little money by
the means you mention, because there
is little demand for such work. You
can earn more money by helping some

She seemed to love me at first sight

the girl who loves me, or wait until
after the war and go back to England

Do not marry unless you are sure
you will better your conditions. II
you are unhappy now you may find
yourself far more unhappy married

not be a kindness to make her your
wife without love. II you still care
