all other causes combined. The at
tention given to the selection Of shoes
for the soldiers in the American army
is a sidelight on the care we give
our'fghting men.
When q. soldier gets his first pair
OF shoes he gets a pair that fit his
feet. No account is taken Of the
size he wore before His feet are
placed in cunningly devised form,
where the length and the width are
exactly determined. He bears his
weight on this little machine and an
officer and non-commissioned Off
Ger take the size record Of both feet,
his name, company and regiment.
Then he puts on pair Of shoes Of
the size called for. But that doesn't
end it. There is a further device
that checks on the measuring ma
chine and catches any human error
in recording. This is put inside his
shoe and he runs down an incline
of 80 degrees, striking his heels on
the elects nailed to it. If this lit
tie machine does not make itself
felt, and the shoe after examination
by an officer is found to be satisfac-
tory, the man Is fitted and his size
is added to his service record.
Our soldiers are provided with
clean socks, and at the end of long
marches the feet are carefully in
spected by the surgeon in charge.
No army in the world has ever
attained such health record as
ours, the death rate being eight out
Of every thousand, here and abroad.
This would be even lower but for the
large number Of men who come down
| with diseases to which they were
| exposed before leaving home.
The average gain in weight of the
| American soldiers since entering the
| service Is twelve pounds per man.

GERMAN INTERNAL AFFAIRS
Are Serious-Great Events Impend-
ing-Early Move Expected.

Washington, Oct. II. - Great
events are impending in Germany.
That they will come within day, a
week Or a month, officials will not
hazard guess; that they are inevi-
table no one in Washington doubts.
Official reports coming from Hol-
land and Switzerland that Germany
Immediately will accept President
Wilson's peace terms are without
confirmation here, nor Is there any
information that Germany's reply has
been drawn. In fact, Swiss dis
patches saying that the reichstag will
meet tomorrow to discuss President
Wilson's note indicate that no reply
has as yet been drafted.
internal conditions, as we'll as the
military situation are expected to
tdlState both the form and prompt
SsSS OF Germary's answer. One was
y,9sgarded as only a little less serious
than the other; and there was al
ways the possibility that, combined,
they had forced the German leaders
to conclusion, even before the first
note asking for an armistice was dis
patched
From the veil Of secrecy within the
empire rumblings of discomfort long
have been reaching the outside world,
but the extent Of the upheaval can
not be accurately gaugcd. The fact
that radical changes are being made
Iii the German constitution, and un-
official reports that the kaiser has
relinqutshed his power to declare
martial law, were but further indi-
tions that the power Of the junkers
is rapidly waning.
On the battlefields there was
clearer view OF the extremities which
the enemy has reached. Latest re-
ports tell of a German retreat in
Northern Belgium on a tremendous
scale.
Elsewhere along the front from
Verdun to the North Sea the Teu-
tons were resisting with a tenacity
which most observers here believe
to be born Of desperation.

How to Mail Cut Flowers.

You have some lovely forget-me.nots
In your garden. You would like Mary
to have some. but she is so awkwardly
far away. Didn't 1t occur to you that
you could mail them satisfactorily, If
you only knew how? Here's how.
Separate the large bunch into
smaller lunches Of perhaps four or
five flowers. Now wiring out wad Of
absorbent cotton In salt water-a tea
spoonful to pint will be sufficient.
Break the damp wad into smaller
pieces and wrap firmly about the ends
OF the stems. Finally wrap flower,
stems and all, loosely In newspaper,
wax paper II you have 1t. It is a
good plan, too. to line the box with
tho dampened cotton.

INFORMS WORLD OF
ITS PROVEN VALUE
Mrs. Conrad Gladly Tells of Her
Good Fortune.
GOOD RESULTS QUICK.
Her Husband Again Feels Like II Boy
and No Longer Worries.

Mr.. Philip Conrad, Of carlton, n.
Y. suffered so that he used to get
up in the middle Of the night and sit
and smoke and try to read to COM
pose his nerves.
Now he feels like boy Of fifteen
The story Of his remarkable change
was told by his wife:
"My husband suffered a shock last
Christmas that left him almost help
less,' Mrs. Conrad said. "He became
completely run down His nervous
system was so shattered that many
times he would get up in the mid.
die of the night and walk the floor
or smoke or try to read. He had no
appetite and grew very weak. His
stomach had become disordered and
no food seemed to digest properly.
After we had tried many pre-.
scriptions without any results, our
druggist recommended that we try
Tanlac. He said he thought it was
the best possible medicine that we
could get for my husband, so l sent
for a bottle.
"He noticed almost immediate re.
suits from the first bottle, and after
the fourth day he could sleep. This
started him to building up. He now
sleeps we'll and has a fine appetite.
Tanlac seems to have built up his
entire system, as we we're told It
would. He says he feels like a boy
Of fifteen, he is so much better in
every way. We are glad to let 9TH
ers know how good Tanlac is, be-.
cause we think that medicine that
will do what Tanlac does should be
advertised everywhere. so people
can learn Of 1t and be benefited"
