MOTHER NATURE AS SCULPTOR
Marvellous Beauty of Yosemite Valley Due to Erosion of Water Through
 Uncounted Ages.

After the visitor to the Yosemite val- ley has recovered from his first shock of astonishment-for 1t Is no less-at the supreme beauty of the valley, in- evitably he wonders how nature made it. However did it happen that walls so enormous rose so nearly perpend1o uiar from so level a floor?
 It will not lessen wonder to learn that 1t was water which cut most of this deep valley in the solid granite. Originally the Merced river flowed practically at the level of the canyon top. How long it took its waters, enormous in volume then, no doubt, to scrape with tools of sand this val ley thousands of feet into the living granite, mol n can even guess. And, as 1t cut tn valley, it left the trib- utary streams sloping even more sharply from their levels until event ually they poured over brinks as giant waterfalls.
 But geologists have determined, by unerring fact, that the river did by far the most of the work, and that the great glacier which followed the water ages afterward did little more than square it's corners and steepen it's cliffs. It may have increased the depth from 700 to 1000 feet, not more.
 During the uncountable years since the glaciers vanished, erosion has again marvelously used its chisel With the lessening of the Merced's volume, the effect was tD amazingly carve and decorate the wills.

OUR VIEWPOINT
 NEWS LETTER
(SneciaI to The Times.l

NewtownG Nov. 15.---The cufhnina- ton of the wave of patriotic enthu- siasm that has reigned over Newtown since last Thursday broke into roar ing flood at the Town Hall, Tuesday night. The Sandy Hook people led by the Sandy Hook band and the Home Guards and followed by scores of automobiles reached the hall at 8 p. m. They joined the center crowd and the meeting was begun at once. A. P. Smith was chairman, and out lined a brief program. Rev. B. O. Grisbrook pronounced the invocation after which America was sung and other patriotic airs following the strains of the band who seemed to be in fine fettle. Rev. Father George T. | Sinnott of St. Roses church made the , address of the evening, and his pres entation of the aims of the Allies and of our nation in prosecuting the war, the effect of victory on the future of the world, and the problems of recon struction facing all countries was tmasterly and gave food for thought for all. His appeal to stand back of our soldiers to the homecoming was earnest and must prove effective. Rev. William Cravener of Trinity church spoke in a like way, but with the optimism characteristic of the reverend gentleman.
 l The funeral of Lillian Le Fan pt Walnut Tree Hill district occurred from her late home Tuesday morning at o'clock, thence to St. Roses church where a requiem mass was celebrated for the eternal reppse ot her soul The interment was in St. Roses cemetery. The deceased was the daughter of a former American consul in France. About ten years ago she came to Newtown, and att tracted by the beauty of the country I1built a home where she has since lived a secluded life. She became enam- ored of Newtown and her dying re- quest was to be laid at rest in the Catholic cemetery in the Glen, which was always discernible from her home and as she poetically described it was the last place the sun shone or at night" Besides the neighbors, g relative, Mrs. Kate Walsh of PhfIa- delphia, followed the body to its last resting place.
 The body of Miss Catharine Kohla1 of Tashua Hill, daughter of Mrs. Kate Kohlar, who died last Saturday, was brought by automobile cortege Tues day to St. Roses cemetery and buried in the family plot.

HOW TO FIGHT SPANISH INFLUENZA
By DR. L. W. BOWERS

Avoid crowds, coughs and towards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness. Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels are protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best to take a vegetable pill every other ay,made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copiously of hot lemonade. If pain develops in head or back, ask the druggist for Anuric (antt-uric) tab lets. These will flush the bladder and kidneys and carry off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in most treacherous way, when the influenza victim Is apparently recov- ering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from bad attack of in f1uenza or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such be built up with good | herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery, made with out alcohol from the roots and parks of American forest trees, or his Iron tic (iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c to Dr. Pierce's Invaltds' Hotel, Buffalo, N. r., for trial package Adv

ODD PRECAUTIONS TO
 PRESERVE PAINTINGS

Milan, Nov. 15.---A heating appar- atus powerful enough to force heat through a pile of sand bags 12 feet thick and to dry without scorc1ling the waAl behind is needed to preserve one of the worlds masterpieces, "'rhe Last Supper of Leonardo da Vinci which is painted on the wall of the church of Santa Maria delle Grade here The dampaeas which accumu- a1tes In the sand necessary as a pro tection from afr raids is fast fading the coaors of the picture, already dam aged by time

COLD EXCHANGE WITH
 MEXICO AT s2.

Mexico City, Nov. 5--Betterment of the exchange rate on United States and Mexican gold is one of the most significant developments in this re- public of the recent allied successes in the world war and the peace over lures of the Central Powers. At one time exchange stood at nearly 60, which meant that holders of Ameri- can money who changed 1t into Mexi- can coin lost 20 cents American on each dollar. Since the Teutonic powers cry of 'kamarad," however. exchange has dropped to 52, which means that only cents American Is sacrificed on each dollar in the pro- cess of exchange.

Heroes of Science

We may not be disposed to spend much admiration on the American vol unteer who consents to be inoculated with trench fever through the medium of the vermin taken. from the bodies of men, but these men assumed a risk more or less dangerous than that of the soldier who volunteers to go over the top in a patrol raid and 1t IS hoped from the experiment made with these volunteers that thousands of lives may be saved and an immeasurable amount of suffering prevented. Sci- ence has it's heroes as well as has war. Galveston Tribune.

THE DAY OF PEACE.

The signing of an arntsttce Is not ordinarily accepted as definite end of a war. But in this case the treach- cry and dirty per1dy of the Huns have called for the imposition of most unusual and extraordinary safeguards. With an angry people at their back and the armed forces of civilization before them, the Hun legions are cor nered. The war Is over.
 The voice of America will not again be trihed with and fouted. When OUT representatives speak, they will be 1nstened to. Our power to rise within a short time and exert an oVerwhelm-
 ing force has been abundantly dem onstrated. The notion that the Unit ed States is an easy going, money loving nation, that had no sense of pride, no power of resistance, no force to make its principles and standards felt, has been shattered.
 The most frightful threat the world ever met since the Dark Ages has been challenged. Cruelty, rapine, lust, rapacity brutality, have been defied and driven into their dens The world is once more free to gc the way of honest and peaceful in- dustry.
 A great military record has been made. Our boys have proved that the fiber of the nation has not softened The feats of our soldiers compare with anything you can find on the most golden pages of history. A glorious record of civic service has been achieved. Our people have proved their, willingness to sacrifice to place country and community first and their own personal welfare last. Our losses it is true have been ire parable. The noble lives of thousands of young men have passed from us But all human advG nee is gained al the cost of similar sacrifice. The
 blessings we enjoy today were al
 paid by the blood and tears of previ ous generations.
 We lay our reverent tribute of grat.

FALT OF THE KING OF GERMANY

The Kaiser now should abdicate
and pay the cost of all the war, and
more, the gold in buttons rings and
crown will say; might help a little,
these Jewels that he wore; if sold to
highest bidders to buy food, for
starving people in a war, rid land.
His hundred palaces stripped to nude
should also leave his royal command.
We'd take his throne and costly
robes and auction them for money.
They'd bring some millions, and his
royal globes of half another world,
the greedy king was wont to con-
quor even across the seas. Spent

troubles? Well my dear child no in
deed! Before you are turning the
corner. they are at the phone, snick-
ering over your affairs with another
of their kind, and now since you
come to think of it, can't you see
that God had every matter properly
estimated when he made hell?
The poor fool listened at last to
one other devil who pretended to
know something to tell her, and Of
course, she was radiant in smiles, and

The Armistance will call for all
of things for which we have been at
war with Germany, and chiefly I'M
conditional surrender. Is it not
strange reasoning that as long as
Germany was trying to destroy Paris
and a third of France virtually all Of
Belgium and Serbia according to
German logic all was well. But after
Foch got busy and with a large
American army the tide began to
turn in the favor of the entente al
lies, the will of Germany became too
sacred to be trodden upon French
men. Englishmen and Americans.
Germany should not be spared.
Her cities should be given the same
treatment she has given France and
Belgium. She should receive the
torch and the fagot and then she
should be cut up into a smaller
vasal state, her Kaiser electrocuted,
her militarist shot, her autocrat pro-
war statesmen imprisoned for life,
after she has been forced to pay the
cost of the war, and refunded the
huge assessments against the hun
dred and more cities of Belgium and
France.
