Bones of Napoleon's Heroes p
Paid Homage by French PoiluS

An interesting ceremony was held re-
Gently at RivOli, in the province of We
roma, Italy. There, on January II,
1897, Bonaparte won a great victory
largely through the skillful use of his
artillery. So it was only natural that
in 1918 the French expeditionary force
in Italy should choose the battlefield
of Rivoli for its artillery training
school. When the ground was being
prepared for this purpose the bones of
eight soldiers of Bonaparte's army
were discovered and identified by their
buttons as grenadiers of the guard.
Their remains were solemnly inferred
at the foot of the monument of the
battle of Rivoli, a detachment of
French poilus rendering the last hon.
age to their predecessors of 121 years
ago.

WATCH IN THE NIGHT


"Watchman, what Of the night?'
"Rumors clash from the towers;
The clocks strike different hours;
The vanes point different ways.
Through darkness leftward and right
Voices Quaver and boom,
Pealing our victor's praise,
Tolling the tocsin Of DOOM"
"Optimist, what Of the night?"
Might is over and gone;
See how the dawn marches on,
Triumphing, over the hills.
Armies of foemen in flight
Scatter dismay and despair,
Wild is the terror that fills
War-lords that crouch in their lair"
"Pessimist, what of the night?'
"Blackness that walls US about;
The last little star has gone out,
Whelmed in the wrath of the storm.
Exhaustless, resistless in might,
The enemy faints not nor fails:
LAUNDERING, swarm upon swarm,
He sweeps like a food through the
vales."
"Pacifist, what of the night?"
I'VE hear the thunder afar,
But all is still where we are;
Good and evil are friends.
Here in the passionless height
War and morality cease,
And the moon with the midnight blends
In perennial twilight of peace"
Soldier, what of the night?"
'Vainly, We question of me;
I know not, hear not nor see;
The voice of the prophet is dumb;
Here In the heart of the fight
I count not the hours on their way;
I know not when morning shall come;
Enough that work for the day."

Signs Forbidding Peasants
From Taking Potatoes, Plan
To Induce Eating of Tubers

Although potatoes were early intro
duced into Europe by the Spaniards,
they did not come in quantity for many
years. The English found them in Vir-
ginia, but 1t is believed that the Span
iards brought them to that colony from
further south.
The first attempt to introduce them
into France was due to a well-known
scientific authority named Parmentier.
This was in the seventeenth century,
says Popular Science Monthly. He i'm
ported some of the plants, set them out
in field near Paris, and by means of
learned pamphlets and talk with the
people tried to have the new vegetable
brought into cultivation and the mar.
ket.
But it was all in vain. Potatoes did
not prove attractive, and when the
planted ones matured 1t seemed that
they would rot in the ground on &C
count of the prejudice against them.
Then some wise man who knew hu.
man nature-a student of psychology
with practical ideas-suggested that
peasants could not be made to try
potatoes by persuasion, but might be
led to adopt them if they were forbid
den to eat them.
His idea was adopted. Many sign:
were painted and erected in plain sight
forbidding under severe penalties any
one from taking any potatoes from
the field.
The peasants at once began to rait
the hills, and before long most of thu
ripe tubers were stolen and eaten witt

The brawny southpaw Of Mitchell's
staff has averaged about five strikeouts
a game this season. Alexander is a
wonderful pitcher" said Killefer re-
Gently. $50 is Vaughn. I've handled
them both and, take it from me, there's
little to choose between the pair.
Vaughn is the equal of Alexander, all
things considered, but their styles are
different. Alex is a side-arm pitcher.
Vaughn has a varied assortment of
curves and he has a great hook that
is puzzling to batSmen."

Can With Corn Sirup, Says
Department of Agriculture

Corn strip may be used in canning
and in making jellies, jams and mar
malades and fruit buffers. Varying
amounts of corn strip are used with
sugar. The strip gives a modified fla
vor to products so it should be tried
out in small quantities at first to suit
the family taste. 1t combines mort
satisfactorily with strong favored
fruits such as pineapple and cherries.
The amount used must be determined
by the kind of fruit and the strength
Of the strip.

For Colds and Grippe
Doctors Find Remedy

Physicians and druggists are elated
over the fact that they have at last
found genuine and dependable rem.
edy for colds, sore throat influenza
and la grippe. For years they have
depended chiefly upon the old style
calomel, which is certainly fine. but
unfortunately many people would not
take it because of its nauseating and
dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected nausealess cal
omel called "Calotabs," whose me-
dicinal virtues are vastly improved,
the doctors and druggists are claim
ing that Calotabs are the ideal rem
edy to abort a cold over night and
cut shirt an attack of sore throat or
la grippe. They are also finding i.
most effective as the first step in the
treatment of pneumonia.
One CalOtab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts. pc nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure The
next morning your cold has vanished
and your Who'll system is purified
and refreshed Calotabs are sold on
|ly in original sealed packages; price
thirty-five cents. Your druggist rec
ommends and guarantees them by
refimding the price II you are not
delighted.

WILLIS KIRBY

News was received in Algood Dec.
2 by Mrs, Caroline Kirby that her
son Willis had died of pneumonia in
France on Oct. IA. Willis Kirby had
been in the army ten months. Was
attached to Base Hospital No. 361 az
cook, and was stationed at Camn
Greenleaf, FIT Oglethoape, Ga, for
several months, then at Newpor.
News, and sailed for France several
months ago with this company. He
was the only son and child of his
widowed mother, and was deeply de
voted to her. While away in camp
he was ever thoughtful of her, writ
ing often and sending her pictures of
himself, his friends, his officers ana
the Red Cross nurses. He always
wrote bright, cheerful letters, and
the last letter before he sailed was
full Of courage and hope. He said.
Mother, am glad to go to France
We are going in a great cause, AMI
If do not come back, 1t is all right,
and don't you worry" His thought
fulness and love of his mother was
also proven by his leaving her ten
thousand dollars in insurance, which
will make her comfortable in her old
age, though nothing can fill the void
left in her aching heart by the GO
ing out into eternity if this, her only
son.
When We were leaving her, after
little visit of sympathy, the little
home was in shadows-the deepen
ing shadows of eventide, as was the
heart of this bereaved mother; but
the eastern sky was golden with the
last rays of the setting sun, and its
radiance fell across. and pierced the
shadows over the little home, maxi
ing it glorified, and it was our pray-
er that the radiance of Gods love
might fall across that wounded, bro.
ken spirit and lift it up into the glory
of that hope of an eternal reunion
with her precious boy, Gods owl
kingdom, some sweet day, when the
battles. the sorrows, the trials and
struggles of life are over.
When the heroes of this war
Come joyously home again,
And her dear boy comes nevermore,

But in hero's quiet grave
In far away Sunny France,
