March Is Expected
To Shake Up Staff

Look for Changes and New

Programme
ISfdN Cor7'csp poadenco |

WASHINGTON. March General
Pcyton C. March's return has revived
the discussion regarding probable
changes and a new programme in the
General Staff of the army.
Ever since the retirement of Gen
eral Scott as chief of staff and the
brief tenure of office in Washington of
General Bliss, who, although he re-
mains chief of staff, is chief military
adviser for the American government
in the Allied War Council at Versail-
les, there has been uncertainty among
General Staff officers
1t was recognized by General Biddle.
who until recently was acting chief Of
staif. that there was no permanency in
his details, and he did not attempt any
new policy. 1t is believed at the War
Department, however, that General
March brings with him many new ideas
regarding the work and functions OF
the General Staff. 1t is also thought
that he will insist upon surrounding
himself with officers whose abilities
are known to him.
General March's administration is
expected to be vigorous. AS a disci-
plinarian he has always been looked
upon as strict but fair. General March
was characterized by general officer
to-day as a "red-blooded man, full o.
energy, and | expect to see the Gen
erai Staff assume q greater Importance
than 1T has had in the past"

Sample Flour for
Glass in War Bread
[ Special Co9vcspondence1 I

CHICAGO. March Samples of flour
taken promiscuously from grocery and
supply stores throughout the city to-
day by twelve Health Department Off
GERS are to be analyzed By city chemists
IN the City Food Bureau laboratory un-
der the direction of DR.. William f.
keasner to see il ground glass or other
injurious substances are being placed
in war bread
Sixty or more samples were brought
IN and like number will be brought
in each day until the city has been
canvassed by the inspectors.
Discovery Of pulyerized quartz in a
sample Of war -four yesterday prompted
a clty-wide investigation by John Dill
robertson, health commissioner, who
issued & warning TO all housewives to
be on the lookout for impure flour. He
also called conference Of state food
officials and Federal Department Of
Justice representatives.
An analysis Of the -four which came
into the hands Of the Health Commits
sloner showed ground glass in a Ger
tain quantity, yet ground so fine as to
be almost undiscoverablc. There was
sufficient quantity Of it in the -four to
cause extreme illness and nausea. but
1t would not necessarily prove fatal.
according to DR.. Robertson Presence
of the glass was not accidental accord
ing to the chemists who examined It.
They expressed the opinion that its
presence there was the deliberate work
Of some person or persons Of anti
American ideas
The local dealer from whom the -four
was obtained is known to the health
authorities, but he is absoved from
blame. An effort is being made to trace
the -four to the mills where it was
ground, also to note the intermediate
steps between the mills and local deal
ers. Progress has been made m his
direction. according to Dr. Robertsnn,
who would give no further infortnafron
q the search Of tho poieonnr.

MARCH TO VICTORY

Courage is a matter Of the blood.
Without good red blood man has a
weak heart and poor nerves.
In the spring is the best time to
take stock Of ones condition. If tho
blood is thin and watery, face pale or
pimply, generally weak, tired and list
less, one should take a spring tonic.
One that will do the spring house
cleaning, an 0ld-fashioned herbal rem
edy that was used by everybody nearly
so years ago is still safe and sane be-
cause it contains no alcohol or narcot-
ic. It is made up Of Blood root, Gold
en- Seal root, Oregon Grape root.
Queens root, Stone root, Black Cherry
bark-extracted with glycerine and
made into liquid or tablets. This blood
tonic was first put out by DR.. Pierce
in ready.tO-use form and since then
has been sold by million bottles as Dr..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. If
druggists do not keep this in tablet
form, send 60 cents for a vial to DR..
Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y.
Kidney disease carries away large
percentage of our people. What is to
be done? The answer is easy. Eat less
meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty Of water
between meals, and take an uric acid
solvent after meals for while, such as
Anuric double strength), 0btainable at
almost any drug store. It was first
discovered by DR.. Pierce. Most every
one troubled with uric acid finds that
Anuric dissolves the uric acid as hot
water does sugar. You can obtain q

Poet Invented Stereoscone.

How many Of us really know that
nifying photographs of distant places
was the invention Of Oliver Wendell
Holmes, the American poet and phil
OsOpher. There had been in use o
crude form of stereoscope, consisting
Of box with hinged lid on the upper
side which was opened to admit light
on the photograph. Doctor Holmes
dispensed with the box, substituting the
eye shades still used and cut Sits in
the projecting board in order that the
photograph might be correctly focused.
Then he stuck an awl in the bottom,
for handle. and the stereoscope was
complete. Doctor Holmes found the
alteration such an improvement that
he offered his invention free to several
firms. All refused it, however, except
Joseph Bates of Philadelphia, who de-
cided to make dozen or two and see
if they would sell. The preliminary
lot was soon multiplied by thousands.
An employee Of this firm originated
the movable slide in which the pictures
are now placed. thus improving upon
the series of slots devised by Doctor
Holmes. When the stereoscope became
a great success, it was suggested to
Doctor Holmes that If he had patented
and sold his invention he might have
made more out of it than from litera-
ture. He replied: Il do not care to be
known as the patentee Of a pill or
peeping contrivance."-Peopl Home

Get New Kidneys /!

The kidneys are the most overworEaA

One of the first warnings is pain Or stiff
ness in the lower part of the back; highly
colored urine; loss of appetite; ind;ges-
ton: irritation. or even stone in the blad-

propagandists. because we would be
unarmed and easy victims They
would use German money to throw uA
into the state poor Russia finds her
self in today. Then Germany would
strike defenseless South America.
America Loves Peace.
It is my honest belief that Germany
has had for many years two alterDa-
tive plans for conquest. From Berlin
she has drawn two lines, one to the
southeast through Saloniki and to the
Orient, the other to the southwest
through Spain to South America. She
hoped England would do the Weber
Fields act and keep her hands down
while German armies stunned France,
and then she would leap on the Orient
and grasp q vast dominion there.
England did not keep her hands down.
She is not entirely a fool. That plan
failed. It seems hopeless now.
The other plan Germany will try the
moment she makes peace and gets her
breath, if her agents can persuade US
to keep our hands down.
I don't like war and you don't like
war. We have every reason to be a
peaceful people. We have vast terri
tory, the most fruitful and productive
in the world; and warlike peoples have
always been those living in barren
lands or who have been cramped into
scant quarters. It is never necessary
to preach the doctrine of peace to
America. because the natural state of
America is peace. America does not
and never has gone to war except to
avenge insults that have become I'M
bearable or to protect herself against
marauders. When the great, wise,
peace-loving American people declare
war there is reason for it, and q rea-
son that affects the honor or the safe
ty of the nation.
Germany has insuIted and injured
us in a manner no decent people can
stand. She has flouted our rights and
she continues to do so. She was men,
ace to our existence before the war
began and she has become a greater
menace with each day her troops have
been in the field. Her navy is prach-
cally intact; her people debt ridden.
For half a century she has been the
one warlike nation of the earth. What
will Germany do if we keep our hands
down when this war ends? What
would you do if you were warlike
nation, careless of rights Of others
(see Belgium y. and craving territory?
You would give slap in the face to
the fat fool with his hands down, and
you would leap on South America and
wrest from it the cost of the great
European war.
Germany is not our worst enemy.
With our fists up we can take care Of
Germany. Our worst enemy is here.
He is the man who asks US to put our
hands down and stand like a silly
sheep until Germany is ready to strike.

Drastic Change

New YOrk.-The world that amuses
or instructs itself by watching the
changes in dress finds itself highly
diverted in the month of May. This
Is the time for settlement. February
is full of rumors and cables from
Paris concerning the gowns that are
exploited there by the dressmakers.
During the month Of March the
clothes that arrive in America are
shown FIST by the importers, who
cater to fAe dressmakers, then by the
dressmakers and shops, who cater to
the public. After the first week of
April the public takes hand in the
settlement of fashions and wears it's
new spring clothes at all hours, with
reckless prodigality.
Now, asserts a leading fashion au-
thOrity, We come to the month of OBJ
servation. We see what has failed
and what has succeeded. We know
what the public likes and what it has
discarded.

In the settlement of fashions which
comes this month there is one FREEDOM
inant feature that interests the ma
jority as well as the minority. 1t is
the new arrangement of the neckline.
This style has been creeping on us
unawares since January, but it seems
to have sprung out of ambush and at
tackled the people as the warm wealth
er burst over the land.
Those who were not observing fash
ion closely went about with their
shirtwaist collars pulled out over the
coat collars, or the wide collars of
guimpes pulled out over the bare edge
of one-piece frock.
Then, suddenly, the whole process
seemed to be wrong. The careless
public observed that the fastidious
crowd had abandoned white coat col

no change, however. The indicated

Almost One-half of the land capable

rice. Handkerchief gardens would
perhaps best describe the little rice
fields, many Of which are no larger
than tennis court, are equally fiat
