Scenes In Helsingsers.
Through the center Of HelsingfOrs
runs a great boulevard. known as the
Esplanade- Gatan, and this Is the center
Of life In summer. The schools close
for these months and everybody en-
joys one long holiday so far as pos
sible. One day seems almost to melt
into another. The young women one
sees In Helsingfors are of the blue
eyed, haxen-haired type. for the Swed.
ish type seems to prevail here. Young
girls, almost to the end Of their teens,
wear their hair In two naxen braids
that hang down the back. They have
the same social freedom as their sis
tiers on this side of the Atlantic.
The market of Helslngfors is an ex-
cellent place to study the Firms and
their characteristics. From all over
the surrounding country the peasants
drive into the towns with their pro-
duce. and sell II direct to the townfolk.

RUSHvILLE. md. March 21.-At.
tention OF Republican county chairmen
and other workers OF the Sixth Con-
sressional District. who met in Rush
vile yesterday. was directed to chang
es in the primary and registration
laws and to the absent voters law.
l.. w. Henley, secretary OF the Re
publican state committee. explained
changes In the two laws and provf
sions of the statute which will allow
all soldiers In this country to vote.
The meeting was held In the office OF
A. L. Riggs, Rush county chairman.
Resolutions were adopted pledging
the loyal support Of Republicans Of
tho Sixth District to President Wilson,
Endorsing Senators New and Watson
and Representative Elliott for their
efforts In the prosecution Of the war.
praising Governor Goodrich and the
state administration and urging coun-
ty chairmen and other workers In the
district to see that soldiers In each
county get the opportunity to exercise
their right of franchise.
Secretary Henley emphasized the
four ways Of registering under the pr1-
mary law. as amended by the last Leg
islature-by appearing before the reg
istration board, sending blank filed
out and acknowledged before a notary
public, by messenger or by man or by
deposlting blank filed out with pri-
mary election board. He laid stress on
the change in the law prohibiting any
appointive or effective officer from sit
ting on a primary or election board.
Through an unfortunate wording In
the law he showed that 1t would be
impossible to register soldiers In
France, because the law states that
registration blanks shall be on file
fifteen days after forwarded to the
voters. All soldiers In this country
may register Secretary Henley urged
the county chairmen to see that all
soldiers have opportunity to vote.

Barr says:
"The man whose clever fingers first

any way, and for a century it has stood

The book attempts to reproduce the at
mosphere of the early nineteenth century
in England and to show the social and
industrial conditions of the time. 1t is
not convincing as a historical novel. The
dialect seems forced and artificial, and
the characters are not alive. They have
milky water instead of good red blood
in their veins. Much is said concerning the
passage of the reform bill, and debates in
Parliament are introduced. The book

Donald McElroy"

'ONALD HcELEOI, SCOICH
IL IRISHM4N, by W. W. Caldwell,
is a novel Of the American Revolution in
which emphasis is laid on the part played
in that struggle by people of Seotch-Irish
extraction. There were three considerable
communities of these Protestant Irish in
America when the war with. Great Britain
came-in Pennsylvania, North Carolina
and Virginia. 1t is from the, Virginia
colony that Mr.. Caldwell enlists his hero
and most of the principals of his book.
The romance that dominates the story
is an unusual one in this respect. that DIFF
ference of religious belief Is permitted to
play leading part. The heroine Is
devout Catholic, while her woosrs are
mainly staneh PreSbyterians. 1t is sell
dom that an author or dramatist has the
courage or the skill to handle such a
situation in a manner calculated not to
give offence to many, yet Donald McElroy
and Ellen O'Neill solve the difficulty with
little friction.
The term gripping" is not applicable
TO Donald AcETroy, Scotch freshman, for
while it is war time story, there is little
stirring adventure in it. The book fol-
lows the fortunes of Donald from the time
he leaves his fathers farm in the peaceful
Virginia valley to beeot-s one of Morgan's
famous rifepen until aiCer the surrender
of Corvallis. Once he was wounded, in
an action near Philadelphia, and was
taken to that city prisoner. He bore
the rank of Captain, and therefore there
was little difficulty in obtaining his parole
when Capt. Buford, brother of Nelly Bu-
ford, a pre-war sweetheart, recognized
him. The Busords were Tories, but hos
pitable, and they nursed 'MeElroy back to
health.
Had Mr. Caldwell sought to produce
colorful war novel, here was a situation by
no means new but always effective. Social
life in Philadelphia during the British Oe-
eupation was brilliant, and into it the
convaescent American officer plunged.
He became a friend of the famed Peggy
Shipper, he dined at the British officers
clubs and when the first American pro-
duction of Goldsmith's She Stops to Con-
quer was made by the officers and the
bellies Of the city he took leading part.
4 commission in the British army was Of
fer,d McElroy in exchange for certain in
formation, and Mistress Nelly Buford re-
fused to become more kindly unless he
donned a scarlet jacket. Overwhelmed by
his conscience, McElroy sought and OBJ
tanned parole. .....
Later\he Joined Capt. George Rogers
Clark in the capture of Forts KaskaSkia
and Vincennes and the conquest Of the
territory of the Ohio. incidentally the
mystery surrounding the disappearance Of
=: Ellen O,Neili from the home of McElroy 8
aunt, 'ffer-guardian, was cleared up.
While no one viii lose any sleep over
Mr.. CaldwelPs novel, perhaps no one will
gain any. He presents many pictures OF
Colonial life and customs that are inter
esting and memorable. The book has q
perfectly happy ending for three pairs Of
lovers.

BAD BREATH
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DIR. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night for
a week and note the effect. 10c and 25c

Portland Or, Jan. 14.-Conditions
in Germany are desperate, food is
scarce and wuehering" (profiteer-
ing) is practiced by dealers in what
supplies are available. Butter is S. a
pound, lard and other fats, So a pound
meat So a pound, sugar 81 pound and
flour (the eoarsest graham mixturel
81 pound. To produce loaf of wheat
bread costs So; but even under these
conditions the people still cling to the
belief that victory will be theirs.
These and other details are related
in a letter and newspaper clippings
received by Frank Z. Lewis, of this
city, a brother-in-law of exMayor Al
bee, from DR.. William Law, a college
friend of Mr. Lewis, Who reached New
York New Years day from Berlin,
where he had praeticed dentistry for
Is years. He was too i'll to come over
with the Gerard party, but brought his
wife and daughter to Flint, Mich,
their old home, as soon as he was phys
ically able. Dr. Law is a graduate Of
the University of Michigan. While in
Berlin he had a clientele among the
nobility and was in a position to learn
much of interest.
Supplies are Procured
One Of the most interesting features
Of his information is the fact that
Just prior to the declaration Of war on
Germany by the United States, it was
common talk in Berlin in the circle in
which DR.. Law moved that America
would be the next for attack when the
allies were whipped. The Germans, he
says, felt that they had the war about
wen at that time.
All the American friends Of the
Laws, who came over with the Gerard
party. sold them their food, so that
they did not actually go hungry, but
