THE fourth edition of H. L. Menck-
l. ems Damn A Book of CdIumny

THE fourth edition of III. L. Menck-
l. ems Damn! A Book Of Cdlumny
has a preface in which Mencken disclaims
responsibility for the title. This is the
preface:
"The title borne by this little book was
not my invention, and got my imprimatur
only rather grudgingly and at the last
moment. consented to it, in fact, simply
to avoid long and costly Geographic
debate with the publisher, from whom /
was separated by 200 miles. The Damn
part seemed to me to be too heavily dew
ilish and sforzdndo-a fit label for book
by a sensational gentleman Of God or
wicked college professor. As for the
Book of Calumny' part, it plainly mis-
represented the work itself, which is
chiefly devoted, not to eliminating
things, but to defending and praising
them. Thus, 1 even go so far as to speak
for alcohol, war and the Jews, all of which
are usually execrated Still more, argue
that 80 per cent. Of the married men of

ton Of the right thinking. For example,
the New York Times, after printing one
advertisement of it, refused to print any
more-on the sound ground that book
so named, and of contents. fitting the title,
would surely outrage the pruderies of It's
subscribers. Again, great many news
paper critics, too hard worked to read so
small a book, wrote their reviews upon its
cover, and so fell into lamentable misrep-
reservations. Thus the critic of the Salt
Lake Republican called it 'devilishly
slanderous,' where its actual tone, as l
have said, is one Of eneomium and inspira-
ton. Thus the critic of the Philadelphia
Public Ledger described it as full of
foolish things" said in moments of exas
peration," whereas there is not the slight
est sign of evaporation in it, but only a
mellow forbearance Thus the Spring
field Republican denounced it as "eyn-
zeal and immoral" and the St. Louis
PoStDispatch as written by pesSimist
solely for pessimists,' and the Chicago
Daily Nems as "strutting and squalling,'
whereas it is obviously not cynical or i'm
moral or pessimistie, but full of high hope
and rectitude, and not strutting and
squalling, but extremely polite and pia-
nissimo. Finally, various estimable view
ers with alarm, installing its theology for
politics, explained of it as seditious,
whereas the plain fact is that its very first
chapter is given over to the defence Of
George Washington.
"In order to dispose of such misunder-
standings l have been tempted to change
the title, but to this the publisher objects.
Part Of his objection is perfectly logical:
The change would put him to expense
and expose him to the charge Of trying
to sell the same book twice. But part of
it, fancy, is also due to considerations a
good deal less benign. A book violently
entitled has plain advantages, on the
book counters, over books more decorous;
it arrests the eye and gives wings to the
dollar. Perhaps some such notion floats
in my own mind, too, and so accounts for
my own complaisance; am also hypo-
critic. But after all it is a small matter
The substance of the work is moral
enough, and it can stand an inappro-

SOLDIERS PREFER
 CANDY ID LIQUOR

Give the liquor to someone else, and allow my men a larger ration of candy, and I'll guarantee We Will lick the Huns we meet" said an army officer
 A few years ago candy wasn't looked upon by the public generally as fuel for the body-as a real "bracer" when overcome by fatigue-but today it is so recognized.
 The Americans and British. the Frenchmen and the Italians, and all of the other allies will vouch for this. Sugar. whether in the form of candy or other sweet stuff, acts as a stimu- lant, and as candy is easier to carry, and much easier to take, than in any other form, it is being shipped to the soldier boys by. the shipload and by the trainload.
 Incidentally, this discovery speaks well for the future of the industry Because of q shortage of sugar only four per cent of the output in the United States is made into candy whereas formerly eight per cent was used but after the war candy seems destined to come into it's own-to be recognized because of its real food value.
 You owe it to yourself to eat a cer- tain amount of candy when you feel in need Oi a Dfdcer says candy dealer. Or, if you are willing to get your sweets in the form of honey or syrup. or plain sugar. you can send your share of candy to the soldier boys in | the camps.

 There is a contract for 13000 houses in the Norfolk district for which we are seeking labor, and the reason We are compelled to comb the country now is the recent influenza epidemic This is all thing of the past in Norfolk now. no new cases have developed for some time. but at the height of the epidemic about TOO new cases were reported daily.

ARCTIC POLICEMAN
 HERE EN ROUTE ID
 Fl PASO FUR SLAYER

Sergeant Fred Grange of the North western Mounted Police, stationed at Gourhard, a long distance north of Edmonton, arrived in the city yester- day morning. He was on his way to Fl Paso after a murderer who is wanted ing England. Why the matter was put into the hands of an agency so far remote from the scene of the murder only the English authorities know, but that was done and it was ascertained that the murderer had come to this country and had landed at Galveston. It was also learned that he went west. He stopped at Fl Paso, evidently in tending to make his way into Mexico but he was taken into custody there.
 Sergeant Grange was making the trip across from Los Angeles to Fl Paso by motorcycle. His machine broke down 30 miles west of Maricopa. He flagged passing eastbound freight and after explaining his situation to theconductor he was taken on. At the next station he showed his credentials to the station agent who arranged for his transportation to his destination.
 This, said Sergeant Grange, is the longest trip he has ever made after q criminal though he has made many long ones. His hardest, though, was in company with another sergeant and three members of the force after a man who fled 100 miles north of 53. y They brought him back.
 Many Years in Service
 The sergeant has been with the Northwestern Mounted Police for IS years and he has never been out of uniform since he was IS. when he en- tered the British service in the Boer war. He wears the tri-colored ribbon worn by veterans of that war. At the outbreak of the present war he was sent to France with 40 other members of the police for special service. Only seven of the 40 survived. The sergeant brought back mementoeS of his ser vice in the shape of wounds, the sign of which is seen on the rough embroid- cry of his sleeve.
 The chief duties of the Northwestern Mounted, said the sergeant is to run down forgers and murderers and to l keep order. They have more constant trouble with the half-breeds than with any other class. Rich outlaws give them a good deal of trouble. They 1 drift into the country and settle down in small towns where they establish themselves in the contraband liquor | trade. They practically buy up the whole settlement and rule over it ty- ranically and in a disorderly and law less manner. In such places one or more member of the police establish themselves and hold things in check.
