that's what we got. And l am proud
to say that it was Miss Compton who
conferred this honor upon me.
At about three o'clock on that after
noon, when we were all having good
time, one of the orjerlies threw open
the door of the ward and announced
in a loud voice that his majesty the
king was coming In. We could not
have been more surprised II some one
had thrown in a Mills bomb. Almost
Immediately the king walked in, ac-
cOmpanied by a number of aids. They
were all in service uniforms, the king
having little In the style of his uni
form to distinguish him from the 9TH
ers. He walked around. presenting
each patient with copy Of Queen
Mary's Gift Book" an artistic little
volume, with pictures and short stories
by the most famous of English artists
and writer's. When he neared my bed
he turned TO one of the nurses and In
quired:

The nurse nodded. He came and sat
at the side Of the bed and shook hands
with me. He asked as TO what part OF
the United States ! had come from,
how l had got my wounds and what
the nature of them were. how i was
getting along and what l particularly
wished done for me. l answered his
questions and said that everything !
could possibly wish for had already
been done for me.
Thanked by King and Decorated for
Bravery.
III thank you" he said, "for myself
and my people for your services. Our
gratitude cannot be great enough to-
ward men who have served as you
have"
lie spoke In very low voice and
with no assumption Of royal dignity.
There was nothing In the least thrill
ing about the incident. but there was
much apparent sincerity In the few
words.
After he had gone one Of the nurses
asked me what he had said.
"Oh," l said, George asked me what
l thought about the way the war was
being conducted, and / said I'd drop In
and talk IL over with him as soon as
l was well enough TO be up"

Clear, Peachy Skin Awaits Anyone Who
 Drinks Hot Water
Says an inside bath, before break fast helps us look and feel
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Sparkling and vivacious-merry, bright, alert--a good, clear skin and natural, rosy, healthy complexion are assured only by pure blood. Ii only every man and woman could be indudced to adopt the morning inside bath, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-lcoking men, wom- en and girls, with pasty or muddy complexions; instead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks, "rundowns, "braln flags" and pessimists we should see a virile. optimistic throng of rosy-cheek- ed people everywhere.
 An inside bath is had by drinking each morning, before breakfast, a glass of hot water with teaspocnful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver. kidneys and ten yards of bowels the previous days indigestible waste, sour lamentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweeten- ing and freshening the entire ailmen- tary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bill iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism colds; and particularly those who have pallid sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain a quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but trifle, but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance. awaiting those who practice internal sanitation. We must remember that inside cleanliness is more important than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to contaminate the blood while the pores in the thirty | feet of bowels do.-Advt.

5 CONLERNS HAVE LARGE HOLDINGS
 IN LAND OF HUN
Standard Oil Company Has Been Gradually Turning
 Loose It's Interests.

Washington, Mafch 1S.-Principal American holdings in Germany at present are said to be properties of the International Harvester company, the National Cash Register company and the American Radiator company. The best information available here is that holdings of the Standard Oil Company have gradually been reduced until they are not near as extensive as they were before the war. There are large investments of American life insur- ance companies in Germany, but these are merely for the security of German policy holders, of these companies. It is not thought they will be molested.
 Under the German law, all Ameri- can property may Joe taken. It Is to meet this situation that A. Mitchell Palmer, alien custodian, has asked congress to authorize him to take and sell the great German holdings in America. M9
 One of the moving reasons for this request is to break up the holdings of the great concerns which have served as outposts of "Kultur" in the United States, and as adjuncts to the German government military department. In these properties, it is understood, the kaiser himself, many of the leading junkers and former Chancellor von Bethman Hollweg are largely inter- ested.

War Head Visits Training Center and Is Pleased
 With What Is Done.

On board Secretary Bakers special train in France, Sunday, March IT, Secretary of War Baker, in leaving an aviation center today said:
 "Just before leaving America l in- vestigated the progress of our aviation program. 1 found our manufacturers enthusiastic as to the outcome. When they learn of the preparations which have been made in France for the util- ization of the material which they send, they will have further incentive to speed up their efforts.
 "Upon level fields, which were with out single building when we laid out a spur track from neighboring sta- tion, have arisen a city of barracks, offices, shops and hangars, with 8 population of Americans, entirely oc- cupied as training school for avia- tion. In this, as in all our other prep arations in France, We have aimed at force commensurate with our part in assisting the French and British, and in gaining the complete unbroken mastery of the air, which is one of the prime requisites, if not the prime requisite, for veitory.
 "trhe spirit of every man in this camp seems in keeping with the miss ion which brought him to France. The camp appointments and organizations are admirable. It is gratifying to learn from their French instructors that our young aviators are proving themselves daring, cool and skillful."

 INSTEAD OF ARMY

Houston, Tex, March 19.-Because they tried to escape military service by shooting each other in the leg, two Illinois soldiers at Camp Logan will now serve the government in diff ferent capacity for the next 15 years without pay at Leavenworth prison.
 The two men, Sergeant Claude E. Mason and Private Roland V. Pye of Company M 132nd Infantry, were found guilty following courtmartial and the sentences have been approv- ed by General Bell, commander of the 33rd division.
 "The cowardice and disregard of du- ty involved in this case justifies the imposition of severe sentence" was General Bells only comment follow ing his approval of the courtmartial verdict.

Supreme Master Workman to Visit Pine Bluff
 April 26.

The Pine Bluff lodge of the A. o. U. w. aspires to be the largest in the state, and it has reason to be hope ful of achieving that distinction. It is one of the six cities of the state that has been selected for district con- farences in connection with the big class. It has big campaign of it's own in progress, for the dedication of it's new home at Main and Fifth, in the latter part of April.
 The campaign for membership in the Ancient Order of United Workmen, that is new being carried on through out the state, is one of the most mo- table in the history of the Order that has done some wonderful things dur ing the last two or three years.
 The officers of the Supreme lodge have announced 1900 new members as their goal for the two months cam paign from March 1 to April 30, when the new ten-story, $250,000 office building is to be dedicated in Little Rock. 1t will be known as the Narvis Class, in honor of Supreme Workman Will M. Narvis, of Muscatine, Iowa, who will spend ten days in the state prior to the dedication.
 MT. Narvis will arrive April 22, af- ter completing an important tour of the far Northwest, in the grand juris- diction of Oregon, Washington, Brit ish Columbia and ether states. He will accompany the grand lodge of ficers to six cities which have been designated as centers of activity for the campaign, and where district con- ferences of the Order are to be held Little Rock, Pine Bluff, Helena, Jones' boro, Paragould, and Fort Smith. If time permits he will visit other lodges that are especially active.
 The Supreme Master Workman is deeply interested in the work of the Arkansas Jurisdiction, and is watching with especial interest the progress of the campaign being conducted as the result of challenge by Arkansas, ac- cepted by Iowa and North Dakota Grand Lodges, that Arkansas will have the largest jurisdiction of the Order when the next meeting of the Supreme Lodge is held in Washington, Del, in April 1929. No other fraternal bene- ficiary order is attracting so much .at- tention locally and throughout the state as the A. o. U. w. and the local lodge is especially strong.

YELLOW STRIPES
 FOR ALL SLACKERS

Texarkana, Tex, March 19-Slack- CTS should be forced to wear large yellow stripe down their coatbacks and down their shirts when their coats are off, so they could be recognized, Judge Gordon Russell, presiding over the Federal district court for the East ern District of Texas, said, today, in defining stacker. Judge Russell was trying writ of habeas corpus to pre- vent draft beard from placing man into immediate military service. The application was denied, and the man turned over to military authorities.
 Judge Russell declared that coward ice and selfishness were the chief char acteristics of the stacker, saying their grandfathers evidently were slackers during the Civil War and their great grandfathers slackers in the War of 1872.
