'sThe Proud Look" Worn
 By Americans in Paris

"A LITTLE waitress in a Paris A restaurant has aptly described the soldiers from America. They have, says she, the proud look" She meant to compliment them, not to dispraise them as being arrogant young spar like the Prussians. The American soldier, at home or abroad, does not cwagger. He is usually a serious yodng man, with calm eyes and square jaw, who appears well able to take care of himself and apolo- gizes to no man for his presence on this earth.
 That was what the little waitress meant by "the proud look" In Amer ica, thanks to our democratic institu- tions and those ideals which we are even now fighting to maintain and perpetuate, every man who is man feels himself inferior to none. He may concede to another more intelligence, a degree of success he has been una ble to obtain and position in the world which commands respect, but the castes of Europe are unknown quantities to the average American. The only superiority he recognizes is one of achievement, not of birth. Thus it is that American soldiers in France are at ease wherever they may find themselves. They are neither cringing nor overbearing just men. # x x The mere fact that an American sol dier in France consumes great deal of chewing gum in the course of a month is no indication that he is more expert with knitting needles than he is with rifle or machine gun. # # #

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
LATER LUXURY.

Let poets sing the swimming hole,
 Beloved of every boy; Althougn in truth, there was time
 When il could bring great joy To me and with care-free heart
 l plunged into the flow The years have wrought change in me, For that was long ago. And looking back, I call to mind
 How muddy were the shores. How filthy was the water, too,
 With which\we "cleansed'' our pores. And now and then a moccasin.
 Would raise its wicked head And to the safety of the bank
 We trembling youngsters fled The bards may warble of that spot
 Of tender memory, But now nifty, built-in bath
 Makes quite hit with me. And I ca1i have the water warm,
 And doze or stay awake, And there is not trace of mud
 And not a single snake.

BETTER THAN CALOME[
Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets are
 aHarmlesS Substitute. 7n

Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi. tute for calomel = are mild but sure laxative, and their effect on the liver ts almost instantaneous. They are the result of Dr. Edwards determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these little olive.colored tablets.
 These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does, but have no bad after effects. They don't jnjure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the teeth! Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. Sodo strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets take it's place. ..
 Most headaches, "dullness" and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered, liver. Take Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets when you feel doggy, and sheavy.'e Note how they ''clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. l0c and 25c box. All druggists !;

My heart would thump and skip I was badly constipated, had weak dizzy spells and was so rundown that I could hardly keep going.
 "Tanlac has not only brought back my health and put me in shape to work again, but it has saved me many a dollar besides. All the misery I used to suffer from gas in my stom- ach and indigestion is gone. My nerves are restored, my heart has quit bothering me, the constipation is relieved, I never have sign of weaknes or dizziness, and am on the job every day.

---4W. 5. S.---- : AMENDMENTS DEFEATED.

Little or no interest was manifested in the general election in Arkansas Tuesday. In no section of the state was half the vote cast. In city the size of Little Rock a total of 8O1 votes were boiled.
 General apathy on the part of the citizens is to be regretted. Construct i've legislation of the future will be regarded.
 The constitutional amendment should have been adopted. However, general antagnotism developed fol- lowing the constitutional convention and steadily grew from day to day. The advocates of the amendment could not apparently down this anti pathy to the proposed changes.
 It was to be hoped that the people would accept the changes in lieu of something better for the future. It appears however. that the people de- cided that if it could not be made right from the beginning that they saw no reason to change from the old routine.
 That changes are needed is not questioned. Just how these remedies will be secured and when, is matter of great doubt.
 Governor Brough will have much to occupy his attention during his next term and chief among them will be the affairs that must be remedied. The Governor will be the doctor but his medicine will be limited.

accomplished through the fact that St. Louis boiled heavy anti-vote.
 All other sections of the state with few exceptions, Springfield, Jop- lin and possibly Popular Bluff voted in favor of a prohibition amendment. Just how the vote of St. Louis saved the day for the vets is hard to deter mine but the trick was turned.
 It is true that St. Louis is much larger in population than several counties of the state. However, at the same time with the remainder of the state voting dry the question arises: "How did St. Louis do it?"
 No one believes that the votes were not legally tabulated in the city but the returns from St. Louis at the last minute saved the day.

NEAR END OF WAR.

No one doubts but that the German government will accept the armistice terms handed them by Marshal Foch. The government has no other alterna- tive and although opinion is divided regarding the German governments course the majority believe that the couQtry desires peace at any cost. Ev- cry day that the war continues the cost. by the German government in- creases. Every shot fired is wasted. This is realized and from financial standpoint the enemy government will not vote to prolong lost war though stubbornness or a desire to wreak still greater havoc.
 The note of explanation regarding the armistice that was to be offered by Marshall Foch, by Secretary Lam sing states that restoration is mean to infer that Germany must make com pensAtiop done to civilian population and their property 'by land and by sea and by the, air" This means that the enemy must make payment for towns ,destroyed and the countryside that, have been wrecked, for ships sunk by submarine raiders. In addi- tion qthe families of dependents of civilians killed or wounded, killed or carried off in violation of the rules of warfare. The bill to be rendered will be a large one but is an equitable one. In fact the cost however large will not total the actual suffering, anguish and pain that the Boches have caused.
 The !p1ime reason not including the greatest of all, the crumbling of the German allies and the crushing de- feats of the main German armies, it is believed to be that the German gov ernment desires peace from purely mercenary and financial reasons.
 Realizing that their cause is 8 hopeless. one that the longer hos tilities, continue the greater the cost in, men. smohey and harder terms for thel future if they pursue a course of war'the; German government will ac- cept the arnistice terms that much of this needless anguish may be alleviat- ed.
 The German people are bull headed and dislike to acknowledge they are ever: in the wrong or have been bested in, argument, this is a natural born trait but the Allies have just about brought them to a state of mind that there are others in this wide world. Their lesson has been good one and now the government will ask that "school recess for all future time."
