HObs0n'S Choice

A good many people believed that Germany
would not have signed armistice if there had
not been Joker in them. desperate break of some
kind by the Teutons has hourly looked for
since and probably there actually has been touch
OF disappointment in certain quarters because the
Hun has surrendered so tamely.
Plenty of gross errors have been made by the
Germans The history of the war is of repeated
blunders on their part Yet they never entirely
abandoned reason. They know they whipped.
They have known they would be since the
United States began make its force felt in France
Nothing but miracle could have saved them and
miracles do not happen to vindicate such
theirs.
No doubt the German masters considered every
possible contingency which might have been turned
to their advantage If treachery while going through
the forms Of surrender would have awaited them
anything we may be sure they would have employed
it The fact is that they have had choice but to
tote fair" Marshal Foch to that He took no
chance Of losing the whip hand.
The Teutons retired across their own frontier
because there was alternative. They surrendered
their eet and their forts and munitions the
reason. If they had failed any stage to do what
they had agreed to do it would have been the
for them IN the long run and they knew it

Syphilis is not a skin disease, be-
cause SO in every 100 persons with

and SO out of every 100 persons

Syphilis can't be cured in six
months or in six years. 1t can't be
cured at all. Under skillful treat

as tuberculosis may be arrested,
and with reasonable care the pa

The Daily Short Story

swish of skates on the firm ice of
the river not two hundred yards
distance attracted my attention.
Speeding along was the 1.-the. close
ly attired figure of a man. His evO-
lutions were graceful and expert. AS
he arrived opposite the Dunn place,
he circled to the shore and unship-
ped from his waist what l made out
to be a small bow and arrow. He
poised it and | noted a white OBJ
ject at the end of the arrow. It
sped over my head, landed against
an upper window of the Dunn
home, penetrated a pane and was.

went back the course he had just

Questions and Answers.

The Constipated Baby-Our ten
day-old baby seems to be very con-
stipated. At the hospital they told
me her bowels were well regulated.
Could you tell me what would be
good to give her? MRS. Z. r. J.
Answer-Perhaps some one has
inflicted on the bay the first dose of
castor oil-which introduces con-
stipation in many cases. You do
not mention what food the baby re-
ceives. Suitable diet, patience and
plenty of water to drink usually
will prevent constipation. I can
suggest nothing but liquid petrol
cum, half a teaspoonful once or
twice daily. Liquid petroleum is
also called mineral OIL" Russian
oil' and a thousand and one other
names-it must be odorless, taste
less and colorless.
