and added patriotism to the occasion.
The Chaplain preached an earnest
and appealing sermon from Collosians
III and first verse: IF ye then be
risen with Christ. seek those things
which are above, where Christ sitteth
on the right hand of God"
In the sermon the Chaplain empha-
sized the hope of Immortality in Pre-
Christian days. and dwelt upon the
historical fact of the Resurrection of
Jesus; its special message for individ
ual Christians, always and for the
whole world today, in view of the ter
rible world-war.
In the Easter Victory over death
and the powers of evil, we have the
guarantee, the Chaplain said, of the
triumph of our country and her al
lies over the same enemies today. God
still reigns and has not abdicated.
He has not handed over to Grim
inal gang the world which He Gre
ated and which Jesus died to redeem

Since when has doubt and uncertain
ty been an American characteristic"
The Chaplain concluded by calling
all the congregation to renew their

Risen Jesus in the fight to retain in
the world today the things which
Jesus came to bring.

TINY DEFECTS OF THE EYE
 CAUSE OF lHIlEADAClHllE

That many persons who suffer from minor ills, such as headache, fears and panics. dizziness, disturbed sleep, train siclnfss. depression and fainting fits, owe these to a slight, but long con- tinued eye strain was demonstrated in a study of 100 cases presented by Dr. Harold A. des Voeux of Brussels be- fore the Medical Society of London recently
 Women are more subject to these attacks" than men, because ''man learns early in life more surely to con- trol his nervous system than woman does" The symptoms generally be- come manifest between the ages of IS and 25. and the average oculist says the defect in the eyes is too slight to warrant correction by glasses.
 But Dr. des Voeux says 1t is the slight degrees of error of accommoda- tion in the eyes which do the harm, not the extreme degrees. For a person who has the latter soon finds he can not see well without glasses, while he who has only the former can see per- fectly well; he does not feel the strain but this is producing its results as time goes on.
 "The human eye" said Dr. des Voeux, twas made for man in the rov- ing or agricultural life; it is mol adapted for the restless, unceasine movement at close quarters in a town Life on a Transvaal farm, where ob- jects at a distance of twenty miles are easily seen, is the natural life"

lpersons, but most of them recognize that they "are produced by Cor are worst after) railway travelling, sight, seeing, theaters, crowds, railway sta- tions, big shops, shopping, race meet lings. ordinary meetings indoors, mo- toring, sometimes games of baseball and also frequently by hard and pro- longed reading. They nearly all pre- fer to walk in side streets to main streets and if possible, in the parks instead of the streets. They complain of smoky rooms,' hot rooms,' stuff ness and attribute the results to the heat and stuffiness and not to the real cause.'
 As time goes on the sufferers tend to avoid the occasions that cause them trouble, and if they suffer much are likely to drift into the life of a re- cluse. Two of Dr. des Voeux's patients were only really well when living in the desert of Africa. They are always improved by life in the country. One woman said to him: q can hunt from 10 to 6, but if l go to dinner and espe- cially if I go to ball at night, I am i'll for days after"
 And, according to Dr. des Voeux, all this is due to very slight defects in the eyes. In some cases the orbits are not perfectly aligned, in others there is slight myopia (short sight) and in more there is hypermetropis Qong sight,. Any of these defects car be remedied by proper glasses, and 1T many cases, if treated early enough lcan be cured.

|, or more than thirty times as much. This gives the avocado an energy value of sixty-one calories per ounce, as compared with twenty-nine calories in the banana
 According to Popenoe in the Journal of Heredity, the avocado to a large ex- tent replaces meats on the bill of fare of the natives of Guatemala, who car ry loads of 150 pounds or more on a diet of tortillas (corn cakes) and avo- cados
 An acre of land will support eighty avocado trees, each of which at the age of five years will bear 160 avoca- dos or $500 pounds of fruit. of which the edible portion constitutes 600 to | 1000 pounds of fat. No other known crop produces so much fat per acre.
 The avocado is a handsome fruit and very delicious. Its cultivation is already being promoted by the enter prising plant-introduction department of the United States department of agriculture under the skillful guid- ance of Dr. David Fairchild. Many fine groves may be seen near Miami, ] Fla, and in Southern California.

BUTTER GROWS ON TREES

The avocado is the butter of the tropics. where it grows in abundance. And such delicious butter! Not greasy and cloying. but sweet, creamy and refreshing. and so cunningly dis guised that one may easily eat a quar- ter of a pint of pure oil and not sus- pect that he has taken a thimbleful. The average avocado weighs three-quar- ters of a pound and is the fattest and richest of all fruits.
 The avocado has also other highly valuable food properties. It contains 2 per cent of protein and to Is per cent of carbohydrates (sugar and dextrine).
 The average composition of this wonderful fruit is 70 per cent water and 30 per cent solid nutriment, per cent ahead of the banana, it's nearest rival
 But when regarded from the stand point of energy content or actual food value the avocado takes still higher rank The banana is exceedingly poor in fat, only 6 per cent, while the avo- cado sometimes contains as much as 90 per cent and averages 20 per cent

UNDER GERMAN YOKE

c. Journelle in the Atlantic Month Fly says:
 One of the most amazing manifesto tions of the Germanic spirit, in in vaded France, is the compulsory salu- tation which the officers impose upon all males, and by a refinement of tyranny, upon the women and girls. Even in ancient Latium, at the Cau- fine Forks, only the men were made to pass under the yoke, and that but once. But the Teuton, in his sensi- bility to human dignity, is never weary of trampling upon other mems souls and of treating man like beast of the field.
 | This enforced tragic comic salute to the invaders and intruders naturally wounded to the quick the high sense of their own dignity and of the truth characteristic of Frenchmen. Resist anoe appeared on all sides. Force was necessary to gratify caprice that Cess Ter might have delighted in. At Noyon, at Vergnier, in hundreds of places, those who infringed the regulation lwere thrown into jail. Sexagenarian priests who had neglected to bare their heads before sublieutenants were dragged away to prison beyond the | AhAAiliC. OlllCclo ulu IOl DIuSn lO horsewhip passers-by who did not salute them or who did not bow low enough. At Etreaux blind man was lstruck by a colonel whom he could not see.
 Above all, the salute extorted from
 women displays to the full an innate vulgarity peculiar to the German. We
 recall our own Louis XIV, always the
 first to salute the women in his service
 absolute master as he was. Our secu
 lar French tradition of courtesy and
 chivalry rises in revolt. But nothing
 is more German than to lay the heavy
 hand of oppression on women. Why
 at Saint Quentin. in 1915, an elderly
 woman, in her terrified haste to salue
 an officer and make way for him or
 the sidewalk, fell and broke her leg. Sometimes this female salute is ella borated; women are compelled to smile when lowing. These anxious anG grief-stricken women, torn from theil
 husbands and children and brothers
 these women who are robbed ant whose homes are constantly searched
 and tossed and turned over like tho bedding of cattle, are commanded tc smile upon the invadersl

 The occupation of Peronne by the Brit ish is conceded.
 The text of the statement reads:
 Fronts of Crown Prince Rupprecht and General Won Doehn There have been forefield engagements on both sides of the Lys.
 Between the Scarpe and the Somme the British are continuing their attacks on front 45 kilometres (28 miles) wide. The effect of our artillery fire against troops placed in readiness by the enemy southeast of Arras and on both sides Of Bapaume appreciably contributed toward their repulse. e.
 ..The hottest point in the fighting was at Hendecourt and Noreuil, the shell crater field east of Bapaume, and be- tween Rancourt and Bouchavesnes. The enemy north of Hendecourt gained ground in the direction of Cagnicourt. He was driven back to Hendecourt by our counter attack. Fighting took place Tor long time around Noreull. It re- mained in our possession.

FIGHTERS TO RULE

Indianapolis, Ind, September 2.-Dis- cussing what he believes will be the conditions in this country after the war, Secretary of the Navy Daniels, here today, declared that the soldiers and sailors, when they return to civil life will control America for the next gem eration. He said he believed the con- ditions after peace will be far different from those of pre-war times. Express ing an opinion that they will try for
 a world wide commerce, the secretary continued:
 . They will be less concerned as to whether this is by public or private ownership than with securing and en- larging worldwide commerce. The odds are that they will see in government ownership and direction the best agen- ley, but they will discard that if pri- vsate ownership insures the best results. They will never return to duplica- tion of railroad transportation and com petition in terminals and facilities. All
 the benefits which government opera tions of railroads have given will be continued whether the railroads are in public or private ownership. The telephone and telegraph probably will be a permanent part of the postal sys- tenn, though the men who will rule America will be open-minded enough to discuss the best method of communi- cation"
 MT. Daniels spoke at the Labor Day celebration here after parade in
 which thousands of laboring men marched.

Montgomery, September 2.-(Special.)
 Governor Henderson issued a proclama
 ton this afternoon putting into effect
 the draft machinery in this state for the registration September F of all men in
 the state who have reached their eight eenth birthday and have not passed their forty-sixth birthday. His proclamation was in carrying out provision of the federal selective service law which says the governors shall have authority 10 supervise the registration in their states N nile Governor Henderson did not in clude in his proclamation a minute state n:ent about the ages, the Alabama coun- Gil of defense was informed by the state military department during the day that every man who has not reached his forty sixth birthday must register. The government. for the purposes of the law, considers that any person who has passed
 his forty-fifth birthday but not his forty sixth is still 45.
 Governor Henderson urged the assist
 ance of all citizens in seeing that all per- sons between the ages are registered. Tt is essential that the people aof this state shall accord the fullest measure of CO., | operation in the carrying out of this or der," said the governor. Ignorance of the law and of regulations issued by proper authority under the law excuses no one. All persons on the border line 1 of, the age of registration will be re- quired to give adequate proof that they are outside of the age limit specified. The penalty for failure to register is one years imprisonment and no man can ex-
 onerate himself by the payment of a fine.' ~~ Persons already registered are not re- quired to register again, nor are those in the militay and naval sevice of the nation nor members of the diplomatic or consular service. Persons who are ex- cused from military and naval service later will be required to register whea they have left thiA service.
