EARNS IA CENTS A DAY;
HAS WIFE AND BABY
And Yet This True Story Has a
Happy Ending.

Even q Frenchman sometimes loses,
for awhile at least, his "unfailing"
OF humor.
Take, for instance, the case of q
man from Lille. a soldier. Waeltele by
name and only twentythree. He had
done pretty well, for the youngster had
already his own printing shop In that
northern French town, which Is still In
side the German lines. In the trenches
Waeltele developed tuberculosis. and
be "a sent to a hospital at GrenOble.
There he was considered incurable,
and after the usual three months of
treatment he was granted his IA cents
q day pension. Said his fatherly army
doctor. "My son, you a perhaps cure
yourself II you will live in the noun
tains, II you will eat plenty Of nour-
ishing food and, above all, IL you don't
worry"
Waelteie should have smiled, but he
didn't. He was thinking Of his baby
ard his WIfe-and his IL cents. "Don't
wcrryi" The humor Of u entirely es-
capped him.
Then the Red Cross stepped in. He
vas found by an American woman
with some American Red Cross money
for just such cases, and within a few
hours he no longer had need to worry.
He was tent to the mountains at La
mure. In the French Alps, happy In
the knowledge that his family was be-
ing cared for by these amazingly kind
Americans.
And now the army doctors words
are coming true. Waeltele's lung Is
healing fast, and he Is dreaming OF
another printing shop and Of living
again some day with that little family.
There have been over 100000 new
cases of tuberculosis In France since
the wal started, and to care for these
cases and check the White Plaques
spread Is merely one Of the big Jobs
the American Red Cross has set out to
accomplish.

Biggest Block of Jade Ever Found.

A bowlder of jade, or nephrite, is on
exhibition In the foyer Of the New York
Museum of Natural History. This is
the largest block of jade ever found !;
it weighs 4.710 pounds, is seven feet
long, two feet wide and m foot thick.
The Scientific American says 1t is
large enough TO have furnished mate
rial for all the prehistoric objects of
nephrite that have been found In Eu-
rope.
AS this huge block was dug from a
quarry in Germany, there Is no need
to suppose, as has been done, that pre-
historic man got his jade from China
or Burma.

Food Administrator Issues
Proclamation After Senate
Approves Dry Amendment
NATION WILL BE DRY
BEFORE JUNE 80, 1919
Supply OF Liquor On Hand will
Not Last Until Law Goes
In Effect
Special Dispatch to The Tribune:

Special Dispatch to The Tribune:
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The Ma
tional Food Administration announc-
ed tonight that the manufacture of
beer would be prohibited on and after
December 1, 1918. Beer supplies on
hand on that date may be sold with
out interference, but all breweries in
the United States will either close on
that cay or be used in the manufac-
ture of some other product. .-
The Food Administration order
came short time after the Senate
had passed the Emergency Agricul-
tural Stimulation bill with the bone
dry rider. The prohibition amend
ment was approved by vote of as
to 6. Under the provisions of the
measure, the nation becomes 0ry
June 80, 1919, until the President de-
clares by proclamation that the de-
mobilization of the troops has been
completed.
When June 80, arrives, according to
the general belief, the United States
will be accustomed to bone dry diet.
The manufacture of whiskey was dis
continued almost a year ago and the
supply since that time has been on a
rapid decline. With the manufacture
of beer stopped on the beginning of
December, the nation will be virtually
dry by the first of the year.

SOMEBODY IS GOING
TO Be STUNC TODAY
Experts Are Going To Tinker
With Cape County Honey
bees For Two Days

Professor Atkins of the College Of
Agriculture, Columbia, No., will be in
the county September 4th and 5th
Four meetings have been scheduled
and those interested should attend
some of these meetings.
In Cape Girardeau County there is
much bee pasture that is now going
to waste. We are in the midst Of
sugar shortage and the demand for
sweets is unlimited. Honey in any
form, chuck, comb OF extracted COM
mands a ready sale at very attractive
prices.
Here is one kind of farming that
does not involve ownership of land to
operate. A back yard, an unused lot.
a read side or wood lot viii make
an ideal apiary. There are no state
laws or city ordinances against the
bee. This form of live stock can roam
at will over both city and country.
Nor Goes a river like the Mississippi
offer barrier to the bee. Bees from
Cape Girar6eau viii gather honey in
Illinois in the alfalfa fields across the
river.
A very small amount of capital
is necessary to get start in the bee
business. A few hives, few tools
like a veil and smoker make
up the necessary equipment. Neither
does the bee require constant care
like other forms Of live stock. They
can be left alone for weeks at time.
If one will make bee culture busi-
ness, he can be assured Of an income
that will be equal to any other line
Of farming. Come out and hear what
the State expert has to say and learn
from him how to handle bees. The
Wednesday meetings win be- at 9
o'clock at the home of Seth Babcock,
TAI North Henderson avenue, Cape
| GirarGeau, and in the afternoon in
Millerville at the school house. Thurs
day morning, 9 a. M, Pocahontas;

CHARLESTON MAN is

Prisoner Asks Commissioner Dear
mont if He Could Break
the DrOuth.

Lawrence Meyer of Charleston,
Mo-, was arrested yesterday by Uni
ted States Marshal Orchard on a
charge of bootlegging. He is said to
have been peddling whiskey to var
ious parts of Mississippi County and
to dry persons living in near by
counties.
Dearmont came to the Cape with
Marshal Orchard and Meyer. The
bootlegger whispered this message to
the United States Commissioner:
"I'm mighty dry; amt you got
something in your suit case to break
the drouth ?" The Commissioner
informed him that there was nothing
doing.
When they reached Cape Girardeau
Meyer was taken to jail. He viii
likely be given a preliminary hearing
today.

New Catholic Ruling Forbids
Him Remain At One Place
Over Years
FATHER O'BRIAN is
SENT FROM TEXAS
Sister Baptiste First To Be Re.
moved From Cape Under
Catholic Law

Rev. Father T. j. Levan, for mum
ber of years President of the st
Vincent's COLLECT in this city, will bt
transferred to aotnher institution, ht
has informed intimate friends.
Under the Canon law, which was
adopted by the heads of the Catholics
in the United States anG Europe, at
a conference in Paris in 1914, officials
in charge of Catholic institutions
must be changed every seven years.
Father Levan has been President OF
st. Vincent's more than that number
of years, and he anticipates an order
to 60 elsewhere most any time.
Father O'brien, Treasurer of St
Vincent's College has been transferr-
ed TO the University of Dallas, a
noted Catholic school at Dallas, Tex.
Father Levan spent several months
as the Acting President of the Dallas
College last fall. When he departed
for Texas at that time it was gener-
ally believed that he would not re-
turn to the Cape because of the new
RUE, prohibiting a president Of a
Catholic institution to remain longer
than seven years.
lister Baptiste, who was in charge
of St. Francis Hospital here for four
teen years, was recently transferred
TO Milwaukee, Wis.
Her successor in the Cape has not
been named, but it believed she will
be sent to the Cape within the next
fe weweks. Sister Baptiste is own in
the Milwaukee institution. She was
located in tat chity for several years
before she was set tho this city to
take charge of st. Francis Hospital.

Ordinarily There Is Not as Much
Gasoline Required Then as
During Winter.
USE OF COLD AIR ENTIRELY
Always Good Judgment to inspect
Radiator Frequently, Making Sure
Water Is Not Running Low
Grease Collects Dust.

One Of the things demanding tn
attention Of the auto owner in sum
mer weather is the care of the car
buretOr. Ordinarily there is not al
much gasoline required in hot weather
as in cold and therefore, the dash ad
justment may be carried little nearer
lean, or air, side. This not only saves
gasoline but increases the power of the
motor. In the majority of instances il
has been found that the hot air stove
of the carburetOr may be dispensed
with or adjusted.
Prevent Hot Air.
As a rule provision Is made on the
hot air stoves for allowing some cold
air to enter, or to take cold air entire.
ly. Where the carburetor is water
jacketed, it is usually supplied with q
valve that may be closed to prevent
the flow of hot water. Individual eY
pertinent will determine whether it is
advisable to cut out the heat entirely
on the carburetOr, since all are not
benefited by the change. If the fan
has been disconnected this of course
will he corrected. The engine natural.
ly runs hotter in the summer time, the
water vapOrizes faster and often bOils
away, so it is always good judgment
to inspect the radiator frequently, max
ing sure that the water is not running
low. Water in the storage battery
will evaporate twice as quickly in sum-
mer.
Heavy Grease for Summer.
Many manufacturers recommend q
heavier grease for summer than for
winter in order to obtain the greatest
efficiency. Hot weather softens up
grease and trouble often manifests
itself by grease seeping out of trans
mission or differential cases, as well
as from grease cups. When the
grease sOftens i'm this manner il in
variably makes little ring of grease
around each cup which collects dust
and gives the car an unkempt ap-
pearance; there is also the pOsSibil-
ity Of some of the dust working into
the bearings. Be sure TO keep the
grease cups turned down and in that
way the dust is forced out. They
should he wiped off carefully. 1t
should be remembered that every bear
ing needs additional care in the hot
weather to keep the dust out and the
lubricant in, but the mOtorist who at
tends to these little "extras" will be
doubly repaid in expense saved and in
comfort and freedom from those an
nOying stops on the road which so
often result in an unnecessary visit to
the nearest garage. The mOtor-wise
driver realizes from past experiences
tina. hot weather calls for added fore
thought and precaution.

Commercial Club Executive
Committee Takes Up Move
ment To Locate Army
Camp Here
COMMITTEE SELECTED
TOLOCATE GROUNDS
Sam Sherman Asks For Sugges.
tions For Proposed Sites
Near This City

The Executive Committee of the
Commercial Club yesterday took w
the proposed aviation camp, which
the War Department is willing to To-
cate in this vicinity.
Major Giboney Houck, father of
the movement, and who conferred
with Secretary Baker concerning
the project, appeared before the Com
mittee and made his recommenda-
tions.
He told the Commercial Club men,
bers that he was confident that the
War Department would favor Cape
Girardeau, provided suitable site
could be obtained. He suggested two
or three tracts of land within a few
miles of Cape, which he said were
suitable for aviation grounds.
Sam Sherman, D'Nean Stafford and
Julien Friant were appointed a COM
mittee to work with Major Houck in
selecting a site for the camp, after
which proposition will be made to
the War Department.
Mr.. Sherman stated last night
that the committee would inspect a
number of tracts in the vicinity at
once. "I conferred with William A.
O'Brien, the engineer, today, rela-
tive to a desirable location" Mr..
Sherman said last night. eve agreed
that N. C. Frissell, who probably is the
best posted man in this part of the
state on the location of Southeast Mis-
souri, land. should be asked to make
some Recommendations He is famil-
lar with aviation grounds, and his
intimate knowledge of the land ada
cent to Cape Girardeau makes him
the logical man to locate the site.
at is quite a problem to locate
$40 acres in one tract that is suitable
for aviation purposes. The committee
would be glad to hear from anyone
who knows of such tract near Cape
Girardeau. 1t doesn't matter if por,
ton of the land is in woods. The
government will remove this.
"The principa! requirement is that
the land be level or nearly SO, and it
should be located upon plateau
Such location, l am sure, would
meet with the governments appro-
val. If the land is subject to overflow
it would not be cosnidered favorable,
because of the danger of impairing the
| heath of the aviators.
"The Committee would be glad tt
hear from anyone who has tract OF
$40 acres in a manner as l have
described"
