HUNS ARE NOT OVERLOOKED
BY EARL D. KEILMANN.


Uieutenant American c. A. c. in France
back in Kansas.)
In the front yard of the hut that
was my home for several months there
is a little garden plot. 1t is fenced in
with rustic lattice work and even in
the winter time it blooms with some
sort of decoration. When I first saw
it there were flowers and colored
grasses growing within the little en-
closure. Later when the winter winds
froze the flowers, they mysteriously
disappeared and in their place came
sprigs of evergreen and more of the
wild grasses.
1 never saw any one tend the little
plot, but tended it must have been, 1t
always was well kept. Once portion
of the lattice fence was blown over
during a storm. 1 saw the destruction
in the morning, but in the evening all
was as before. The mysterious gar
dener had been there and all was
neat and trim again. From the cross
at one end of the little plot flew the
the plot under observation, new flag
appeared to take the place of the wind
whipped bit of cloth which was losing
resemblance of a flag.
When the engineers of our brigade
put in drainage system, that includ-
was to guide the storm waters of the
camp around this grave, for grave the
plot was. On the rude cross which
acted also as flag staff there was a
little blue and white shield telling that
French officer had fallen and was
buried on this spot, in the historic
battle that turned the onrushing
horde of Huns at the start of the great
war.
Honor to the Hun.
] At the crossroads, where General
Joffre Rad given that famous COM
mand, Retreat no further but stand
| mere and die like Frcnchmen," there
are three graves and each contains
the bodies of from four to six fallen
soldiers One of the graves, however,
does not fly the French flag 1t has
a little fence around it. 1t has a
cross at its head but the railing and
! the cross are small and there are no
| flowers On tho cross there is a little
| board on which are painted simply 4
series of numerals. They are the
1 numbers taken from the identi alton
discs found on the bodies of the Ger
man soldiers who fell at that place.

Stomach Revived and Made to
Enjoy Food With Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets.

Most of US eat three times a day
and often forget that each meal
should be disposed of in the stomach
to make room for the next. The fail
ure of the stomach to do this is called
indigestion or dyspepsia, with it's sour
r:sings, gas, rumbHngs, pain, depres-
sion and the feeling of stuffiness
when breathing is difficult.
The most effective remedy and the
most reliable one, because you can
get il at any drug store in the
United States or Canada, is Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, at so cents a box
Instead of depriving yourself of food
or going on a starvation diet simply
keep on as you have and let these
tablets straighten out your stomach,
digest the food and keep you in the

CRUSHING A LANGUAGE.
Under the Russian Empire No One
Dared to Speak Ukrainian.

Under The Russian Empire No One
Dared TO Speak Ukrainian.
Ukranian differs from Great Rus
Sian fully as much as Dutch does from
German. In fact, the highest learned
body in the Russian empire, the Petro-
grad Imperial academy, admitted few
years ago that the Ukranians possess
ed distinct language and culture Of
their own. That, however, was not
the Russian governments view Of the
matter.
There never has been, is not and
never will be Ukranian language or
nationality" declared Russian min
lister Of state in 1853, and this was
merely the formal expression Of what
had already considered as automatic.
All official business was carried on in
Russian, language almost completely
unintelligible to Ukrainians. All Ukrai-
MAN writings, save certain old books Of
devotion, were rigidly prescribed, and
Ukranian education was so strictly pro-
hibited that in many parts Of the Rus
sian Ukraine even today there are few
er schools than there were two CEN
turtles ago.
The only way for talented Ukrai-
MAN to spring his ideas was in Russian,
and many Of the greatest names in Rus
sian literature, such as Gogol, Kosto-
marOff, etc., were really Ukrainians
forced to employ this alien tongue
What happened to those who dared
clothe their thoughts in the native
idiom may be Judged by the terrible
fate Of the greatest Of all Ukrainian
poets, Taras Shevcheenko. For the
"abominable crime" Of having compos-
ed some exquisite little verses celebrat-
ing the natural beauties Of his Ukrai-
MAN homeland this youthful genius was
sentenced to ten years penal servitude
In Siberia and returned from his hell

man, only to DIET. Lothrop Stoddard

TO PURIFY WATER.
Two Safe Ways by Which Typhoid
Germs May Be Destroyed.

Two Safe Ways by Which Typhoid
Germs May Be Destroyed.
One cannot judge the purity of water
by its looks. Things visible to the
naked eye are usually harmless. The
invisible germs Of disease are by far
the more injurious to human beings.
Most people feel that drinking water
is safe to use II it is cool, clear, spar.
king and free from color or odor. Such
is not the case. Even the sparkle may
be due to decomposition products. The
babbling brook usually contains more
dangerous bacteria than standing wa
ter. Streams do not purify themselves
by flowing over their rocky beds. The
mistaken notion that they do is re-
sponsible for great deal Of vacation
typhoid fever.
The safest method Of destroying dis
ease germs in water is by actual boil
ing. Boiling the water for five minutes
will kill the germs of typhoid and al
lied diseases. Chlorine may also be
used to disinfect the water.
A stock solution is made by taking a
level teaspoonful of full strength clo-
ride of lime and rubbing 1t up to thin
paste free from Jumps In a teacup with
q little water, This should then be
made up to cupful and diluted with
three more cupfuls Of water and then
poured into bottle and tightly corked.
Add a teaspoonful Of this stock s0lu-
ton to each two gallon pail Of drinking
water, thoroughly mixing It and allow
ing 1t to stand for ten minutes. This
will give about one-half part Of free
chlorine to million parts Of water,
which will destroy all typhoid or dysen-
terry producing germs.-Exchange.

when Death Cool. HE sting.

There is a curious superstition IN
Jamaica that If death occurs In the
house oil the water in it is poisoned at
once and must be thrown away, the
reason given being that Death cools
his "sting" after destroying life In the
first water he finds, and as no one can
tell-death being invisible-what jar he
may choose it is safest to throw 1t all
away. Careful people to save trouble
even carry all water out Of the house
Immediately before death is expected.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

1t is not necessary to shampoo your
hair so frequently if it is entirely and
properly cleansed each time by the use
of really good shampoo. The easiest
to Use and quickest drying shampoo
that we can recommend to our readers
is one that brings out all the natural
beauty of the hair and may be enjoyed
at very little expense, by dissolying a
teaspoonful of CanthroX, which can be
obtained from any druggist, in a cup of
hot water This makes full cup Of
shampoo liquid, enough so it is easy TO
apply it to all the hair instead OF just
to the top of the head This, when
rubbed into the scalp and onto every
strand of hair, chemically GiSsolvcs all
impurities Ii is very soothing and
cooling in its action, as well rs bene-
fetal TO both scalp and hair. After
rinsing out the lathcr so created, you
will find the scalp is fresh, clean and
free from dandruff, while the hair dries
quickly and evenly, developing bright
luster and soft fluffiness that makes
it seem very heavy -Adr
