A Hint to the Aged

If people past sixty years Of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as soon
as they take cold and remain in bed
for one or two days they would recover
much more quickly, especially if they
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
There would also be less danger of the
cold being followed by any of the more
serious diseases.

Why the Leaves Turn Red

r. S.-What causes the leaves to
turn red in autumn?
An examination Of the withered
leaves Of the autumn foliage at the
time of their turning red shows that
they contain more sugar and less
starch than in midsummer. Leaves of
evergreens, however, lost their red
tints with the return Of the warm sea-
son, and reassumed their green color.
In these plants-i. e., the holly and ivy
the sugar of the leaf is transformed
into starch in sprinxtime. From these
observations two differences can be
drawn-frst, that the red coloring sub
stances are probably Of the nature Of
the glucoses, being in most cases COM
pounds Of tannic substances with
sugar; second, the chief physical con-
ditions for the formation Of the red
color are sunshine, which. ON the one
hand, enhances the assimilation and
production of sugar, and, on the other
hand. quickens the chemical process
that leads to the formation of the
coloring matter, and. furthermore, a
low temperature, which prevents the
transformation of the sugar into
starch In other words. the red tints
of autumn are the direct product Of
the meteorological conditions prevail.

THE END OF FRIENDSHIP-By Henri d'Yvignac

emit the details of our situation there.
You can see the country in your minds
eye-clumps of bushes and trees, a
village in ruins lifting to the sky its
blackened chimncys, its solitary frag-
ments of walls. it's riddled church
arches, with a shattered clock tower.
Between the village and our first line
trenches, marshy prairie; behind the
village, the Boches. Neither they nor
we had been able to enter it and
hold it.
"1n spite of the incessant hail of bull
let's, certain inhabitants of the village
were obstinate enough to remain there,
hiding in their cellars when the firing
got too hot. Some of these venture
some people even took advantage of
lulls in the firing to work the ground
and to look after their fruit trees. One
OF them. an old woman, bent, decrepit,
wrinkled with age, was particularly ac-
tive. She overdid it. We got to know
her we'll.

Bread Cards

In November, 1893, hence 1874 years
ago, the French National Convention
resolved that henceforth no one should
buy more bread than absolutely nec-
essary for himself and his family. Ac-
cordingly. bread tickets were intro
duced. and every head Of family re-
ceived for his family a monthly card
provided with number Of coupons
corresponding to the number OF men,
bers in the family. Upon presentation
Of this Identification card at the bread
distribution he received the share Of
bread allotted to him. The coupons at
the same time also served as control
OF the consumption Of hour by the
bakers. In order to show the equality
OF the citizens 1t was prohibited to
bake for the wealthy special bread Of

The inal Curb
On Prussian Power

To some extent it was not new.
Poland, with a port on the Baltic,
was included in the Presidents four
teen points. What the Allies have
now done is definitely to pledge
themselves to this plank of the dem
ocratic platform. 1t means cutting
into East Prussia. 1t also means
cutting off Prussia from Lithuania,
Finland and Moscow. An essential
preliminary to such a settlement
will be the defeat Of Germany, and
the defeat must be final.
When, however, we turn from Po-
land southwark we find ourselves in
an unexpected situation. / came to
America early in January, and soon
discovered that your diplomacy
sought to isolate Germany by de-
taching without dividing Austria
hungary. The attempt seemed to
promise well. Every indication sug-
gested that the Emperor Charles de-
sired to shake his dynasty free from
the tutelage OF the Hohenzollern.
An Austro Hungarian federation,
based on home rule all around, with
the Hapsburgs as constitutional
Ink, offered one plan for destroying
Mitteleuropa. The dream vanished IN
the night when the devil entered into
the heart of Czernin and a peace by
conquest was forced upon Rumania.
This meant that the Austrian court,
swept off its feet by successes in
Russia, had sold itself once more to
pan-German and Magyar influences
and that all previous negotiations, of
course unofficial, must be dismissed
as inslncere. There remained but
one alternative. If the Dual Mon
archy could not be freely federated
u must be boldly broken up. This is
the task now on hand.

The question about the site Of Eden
has greatly agitated theologians. Some
placed It near Damascus, others in Ar

and some in Abyssinia. The Hindus

it at the North Pole, and q learned
Swede asserts that it was in Suder-

placing it in a peninsula formed by

of Racial Lines Will
Win in Carving Four
States From Haps-
burg Empires
By P. W. Wilson

bmr,ican Correspondent Of The
London Daily News
IN THE annals of the press I
doubt whether there has been
l. any paragraph at once so
brief SO momcntous and so little no.
t;ced as this which lies on my desk
as I write these words. 1t says quite
simply that the Allied prime minis
ters meeting in Paris, have ap-
oroved of certain statement made
previously by Secretary Lansing.
This statement announced what was
to be the policy of the United States
toward Poland and various prov
jnces of Austria Hungary. 1t meant,
jr g sentence, that America is draw
ing the new map of the world.
For year or more it has been
known that President Wilson has
studied with profound attention the
racial problems of Southeastern
Europe AT Washington ethHographi-
'cal maps, showing languages, ances-
try and affinity of each district, are
available for instant consultation.
With her own mingled population
America is rich in experts who can
bring local knowledge to bear upon
conflicting frontier claims, and to-
day something very like a prelimi-
nary arbitration is proceeding as
between oppressed nationalities,
which must be set free if the word
is ever again to enjoy a stable peace.
Hitherto, the Allies have displayed
some slight skepticism over these
arrangements, settled thousands of
miles away. But as the American
contribution Of men, money and
ships has grown month by month, a
more respectful attitude has been
adopted toward American ideals.
Hence the latest declaration from
Paris.
New-York tribune., 1918-06-23

is, therefore, by far the most per-
picking question at present confront
ing President Wilson. Great Britain
and France have an opinion on the
subject which probably favors, or
has favored, intervention. They fear
that Germany may seize all the re-
sources of Russia and use them
against the rest of mankind. What
ever may be the case with the So
viets as whole, there is suspicion
that Lenine and Trotzky in their
