HAD NOT DEPARTED ALONE
Fake Telephone Call May Have Scared
Tramp, But He Had Retained
His Business Faculties.

Representative Edward W. Saunders
Of Virginia remarked at social gath
ing that foxy schemes do not always
pan out the expected results, and told
this story as an illustration:
1.-TWO men were having gabfest
over lunch table recently when one
told Of an experience he had just had
with tramp.
"'He came to my house. said the
man, fmpudently banged on the kitch-
en- door, walked in and demanded
something to eat. Right there / decid-
ed to give him the scare of his life.
Going into the next room, liberated
an alarm clock and pretended to call
up the police station, and told them
over the imaginary wire to hurry down
to my house and arrest hobo. When
l returned to the kitchen the tramp
was gone
"T see,' laughingly interjected the
other. The fake telephone started
him.
YES returned the first, n little sad
ly, he was gone with two Of my coats,
one hat and enough sllverware that
was lying around loose to start q quick

Kniuhts in Armor.

The sense Of security a soldier has
under shrapnel helmet is astonish-
ing. Perhaps that is because its eff
feet is psychological as well as ply
steal, particularly when one remem-
bers the anatomy of the head, and
can appreciate the brains delicate
composition, and the scant protection
afforded by the skull against modern
projectiles. A soldier recently told
an audience in Vancouver that, with
his tin hat cooked over his face, and
an enamel plate reposing on his "tum-
N.Y." he could sleep through a bonn
bardment, feeling safe as knight in
armor. Another capped this by con-
Tossing that he felt unbearably "windy"

machine-gun-swept road with stretch
ers, until he made practice Of slop-
ing the helmet we'll to the exposed side
of the face, so that 1t acted as a

ALWAYS STOOD FOR LIBERTY
How the People Of Flanders Have
Written country's Name Proml.
nentIy in Worlds History.

No part Of Europe has a more ro-
mantle history than the stretch of land
between Calais and the Scheldt. over
which the counts of Flanders held rule
for centuries, observes the Manches-
ter Guardian. AS far back as the first
century of the Christian era, when II
formed part of the Roman province of
Relgica Secund, this region was dis
hngulshed for It's Industrial towns
remarkable even then for their large
populations and democratic rule.
From the middle of the tenth to the
middle Of the sixteenth century was,
however, the golden age of Flanders.
1t began with the introduction of the
WOolen industry by Count Baldwin and
the growth of the municipalities.
Flanders became the pioneer of the
development of civic democracy, but
neither upon that nor upon industrial
progress did the CRuntry's face alto
gether rest. 1t was the struggle of her
people against tyranny that wrote the
name of Flanders upon the pages of
the worlds history.
Her rulers were, for the most part.
noted warriors, bent on defending their
land and on guarding their boundaries
against the invasion of Frenchmen or
Englishmen. The Flemish people were
bred of fighting stock, and the king
OF France came to learn that in at
tempting TO extend n despotic rule in
Flanders he had to reckon with more
than trained soldiers and knights Of
chivalry. In the battle of the Golden
Spurs, fought at COurtrai over six CEN
turtles ago, the cloth weavers Of
Bruges. Client and Ypres routed and
destroyed the proud French horse
men; while at n later date power
full French army was defeated at
Courtrai by Flemish burghers under
the leadership of Peter de COnyne,
master of the cloth weavers.
Indeed, until the country passed
into the possession Of the dukes Of
Burgundy the whole history was filed
with stirring deeds. Today, although
the name Flanders is applied to two
Belgian provinces, Of which Client and
Bruges are the capitals, it still stands
for an underlined stretch of country.
which has been the battle ground of
Europe for centuries. "The war in
Flanders" was as familiar an express
sion to British ears in the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries as it is at the
present moment, and there is not ar
inch of ground in that heroic country
but has been stained with the blood
of patriots and lOyalistS.

Spain Needs Locomotives.

Four Spanish railways, the Northern,
the Madrid Saragossa and Alicante,
the Andalusian and the Madrid Cateres
have joined in Il venture to make loco
motives. These four companies will
help raise $5,OOO,OOO for the extension
of a large machine shop in Barcelona,

to enable it to build locomotives now
badly needed in Spain. The Spanish
railway situation is exceedingly bad.
The locomotives and cars of many of
the roads, and particularly those of the
Northern railway, were considerably
damaged in the recent severe strikes
and ill-usage has further added to their
deterioration.

YOU NEED NOT SUFFER WITH
BACKACHE AND RHEUMATISM

For centuries GOLD MEDAL Haarlem
Oil has been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys and
bladder are the most important organs of
the body. They are the filters, the puri-
fcrs of your blood. If the poisons which
enter your system through the blood and
stomach are not entirely thrown out by
the kidneys and bladder you are doomed.
WEAKNESS, sleeplessness, nervousness,
dependency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins, and lower abdo-
men, gall-stones, gravel, difficulty when
urinating, cloudy and bloody urine, rheu-
matism, sciatica, lumbago, all warn you
to look after your kidneys and bladder.
GOLD MEDAL HARLEM Oil Capsules are
what you need.
They are not 'patent medicine" nor
new discovery" For 200 years they

They are the pure, original imported
HARLEM Oil your great-grandmolher
used, and are perfectly harmless. The,
healing, soothing oil soaks into the cc!ls1
and lining of the kidneys and through

germs. New life, fresh strength and
health will come as you continue this
treatment. When completely restored to
your usual vigor, continue taking a cap
sule or two each day. They will keep
you in condition and prevent a return Of
the disease. ,
