any deficiency. The talent is not fur

Floating Store For British seamen.

Floating Store For British seamen.
LONDON, Aug. S.-British officers
and sailors in the grand fleet are
able to ''go shopping" at sea without
even stepping off their respective
boats. A floating department store,
fitted up by a big London store under
special permit from the British adj
miraIty, makes regular trips around
the sea area where the grand fleet
hangs out. displaying its stock on
deck and handing purchases up over
the sides of the big British sea fight
eTs.
Mostly the store sells things to
eat-canned meats, pickles, Jam and
cakes, to vary the monotonous diet
OF the fleet. But there are all the
usual departments If you eliminate
women's goods. A millinery counter
would starve to death in this neigh
borhood.
There is a barber shop aboard the
department store boat and the wait
ing list of patients for the BARRIERS
chair usually has about thirty names,

DELIGHTED IN HIS FREEDOM
Youngsters Chief Enjoyment OF Va

Of All Conventionalities.

The best sort of vacation and the

conventional rules of conduct are
broken. To enjoy a vacation one must
do absolutely as he pleases, Mr.. Wei.
senberger continues.
In proof Of this contention Mr.. Wei
senberger tells the following story on
young lad with whom he hibernated
In the wilds Of Michigan for several
weeks this summer. 81
The campers had taken a large sup
ply of towels with them, as bathing
was expected to feature the holiday
events. On arrival at camp each men,
Der Of the vacation. party received his
apportionment of the. towels and the
lad was duly included In the division.
On the second day Of the vacation
week Mr.. Weisenberger was surprised
to find the young lads supply Of
towels packed securely away in one
corner of the cottage, thus far I'M
touched. He Immediately summoned
the lad and inquired whose towels
he had been using, since his own sup
ply was undiminished. He was not a
little taken back BY the lads reply:
CAV, didn't wash my face yester-
day. G...,.s.s.. ~4ss..s... ..l.....s. ILL.,.
Even with face unwashed and tow
els, untouched, the young barbarian
probably enjoyed the vacation trip
more than did any other member Of
the party, Mr.. Weisenberger says.
And the reason for the lads enjoy

you feel dull misery in the kidney

rheumatic twinges when the weather
is bad.

kidneys will then act fine. This fam

grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean clogged kidneys
