The systematic cruelty devised by the Germans and practiced by them on the helpless inmates of some of their great prison camps is testified to afresh by Capt.

 Tell them,' he writes, that they can never sufficiently avenge us.'
 Sometimes the characteristic and carefuily.planned inhumanity of the German prison system is helped along by the fact that the man in charge happens to be one who really relishes the tortures of the helpless. Such one was First Lieut.. Thile, second in command at large prison in the Erz- sebergen mountains where our cap tain found himself in the early weeks of 1916.

A horrid thought came to me.

murmured that the coffee that night

To IAN Amiable chlld.n

A small monument reminiscent or
old-time New York Is often noted on
Riverside drive, near that somber me-
mortal, Grants tomb. The little stone
is inscribed Erected to the Memory
of an Amiable Child" The touching
inscription has aroused much Curl
osity as to the unrecorded name of
the victim OF an untimely fate. A
New York city paper says that the
child was the son of George Pollock,
who owned a tract of land In this sec
ton In 1877. While this "amiable
child" was on a fishing excursion with
his father at place called Fishing
Rock. a short distance out I'm the riv-
er, he fell overheard and was drown
ed. The father wrote, In conveying
to another person the land where the
monument stands: "The surrounding
ground will fall into the hands of /
know not whom, whose prejudices or
better taste may remove the monu-
ment and lay the Enclosure open. You
will confer peculiar and interesting
favor upon me by allowing me to con-
vey the Enclosure to you

Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most overworked
organs of the human body, and when they
fail in their work of filteripg out and
throwing off the poisons developed in the
system, things begin to happen.
One of the first warnings is pain or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; indiges-
ton; irritation. or even stone in the blad-
der. These symptoms indicate condition
that may lead TO that dreaded and fatal
malady, Bright's disease, for which there
is said to be no cure.

Sport clothes, having come to stay,
have their growing strength constantly
REINFORCED by wonderful new develop
ments. Designers can be as daring as
they like so long as they know how to
turn out beautiful, If startling, new
things that are ingenious and full Of
style.
Stripes and checks, in strong con-
trasts of color, made up in combina-
ton with plain color, have occupied our
field of vision this year, almost to the
exclusion of the odd brilliantly colored
figures that were strewn over the sur
face of sport clothes last year. These
checks and broad stripes are most
cleverly managed, and now we have
hats and turbans made to match coats
and skirts. One wonders where these
new by-paths will lead, at any rate,
they run in the direction of the smart
est informal clothes that we have ever
known.

nothing TO be desired in the way Of

Goose Was a Fighter.

Fighting a goose man had an ex-
citing experience at Grand Lake, New
foundland, the other day. The man
was goose hunting, and it being after
nlghtfall he had searchlight rugged
upon his boat, when he came upon two
geese in the distance perched upon a
piece Of ice. He fired and struck one
of the birds. He fastened TO secure IT.,
when the other attracted by the light
flew right on board the boat, and for a
considerable time both huntsman and
bird fought with each other upon the
dark waters of Grand lake.

the choice of fabrics for childrens

goods are more or less eliminated from

as economy is concerned. For this and
for patriotic reasons, the little miss

Among the new model dresses there
are taffetas, crepe de chine and fou-

and the foulards, with medium dark
grounds, have small figures in white or

Hot Weather Poisons
Hit The Stomach First
How to Keep Your Stomach
Strong, Cool and Sweet

Hot weather always starts those
quick chemical changes which pro-
duce poisons In meats, fish, fruits,
vegetables, milk and food products.
Such summer poisons in foods not
only make well stomachs sick but de-
velop with dangerous rapidity in
sensitive, sick or ailing stomachs and
bowels.
These poisons not only generate
gases and fluids which cause that
bloated, lumpy feeling, heartburn, sour
stomach, belchine, acidity, but endless
other stomach and bowel miseries.
A sure, safe, quick acting relief has
been found which absorbs and neu-
tralizes these poisons, too much acid
and harmful gases. EATONIC Tab

good style. 1t has q skirt of white
shantung, with panels at the side
showing broad bands of color-in this
case vivid green-on white ground.
The sleeveless jacket, with narrow
belt and patch pockets, is in the same
bright green, and large buttons on the
skirt reveal how perfectly big buttons
fit in with the character of sport
clothes.
Large checks, broad stripes and
fringes have Joined forces with but
tons to give those who think up sport
clothes every possible chance of sue
cess. The slip-over styles in sweaters
and blouses play into their hands, and
other allies are the new heavy weaves
in silk and the fancy shaded striped
tricots. Long, wide scarfs that may
be worn in several ways, and scarfs
that are belted and pocketed to be
worn in but one way, are made with
companion pieces in hats that match
them. A white blouse and skirt find
themselves part of sport suit in their
company.
