the mind Of a boy. In an interview
just published. he asserts that there Is
nothing in German literature that can
lead the German hoy to proper un.
Outstanding that life Is something bet
ter than a display of physical prowcss.
Germany has no national sport
German boys have no conception OF how
to play game fairly and s1uarely."
declared the speaker They don't
know what true craftsmanship Is.
Athletics only interest them--the de-
velonment OF brute strength and
muscle. and duclins - the only sport
they indulge III. Having no c"nccp-
ton OF fair sport. they are up TO all
sorts of foul play. and so. as men. they
have been guilty of the most heinous
crimes asai's; deccncy and fair play"
In closing. DR.. Brown quoted the
tragic incident OF the English aviator
who. helpless and out of the fight, was
trying TO stabilize his machine by
standing out on the framework. when
his German opponent. with an utter
absence of every principle OF fair play
and without any conception Of the,
ideals OF craftsmanship, swoopcd down
upon the gallant airman and sent him
to his death.

TO FIGHT

DIR. Williams No. 101 Tonic
for Colds and Fever Proves
to Be the Very Thing for
Spanish Influenza.

Don't neglect the simple rules of
health. One of these is to keep the
mouth, the skin and the clothes clean.
That is easy. Another is to maintain
the bodily vigor at or above par. It's
the rundown system as a rule, that
catch the ''f1u." If you do not feel
strong and vigorous, you can help
make yourself so by taking a few
doses of DR.. Williams No. 101 Tonic.
1t is a grand tonic It will put new
life in you. If you have the ''flu," DR..
Williams No. 101 Tonic should be
taken Immediately. The quinine in it
kills the influenza germs quickly. The
iron in it tones up the system. The
magnesia ingredients acts on the
liver and bowels So you see, 1t is an
ideal medical preparation. Your drug
gist or drug dealer can supply you
Csc and soc bottles. Refuse to accept
any substitute. There is nothing that
is just as good. Made only by the
