GOOD TALK AT
 COURT HOUSE

Due to the storm which visited Newport late in the afternoon, the crowd which greeted Chaplain B. F. Davidson at the court house last night was not up to the standard for New port. The lack of numbers, however. was more than made up by interest and enthusiasm on the part of those present.
 The speaker was introduced by Judge 0. W. Scal borough in brief but stirring patriotic address.
 Chaplain Davidson spoke briefly of the conditions leading up to the war, of the conduct of the war before and since we entered it, of the brutal atrocities inflicted by Germans, not only on the soldiers they captured but on innocent men, women and chil- dren, non-combatants, that happened to be in the path of their armies; in reviewing some of these brutalities he said he could begin to see why God i'll his commands to the children of Israel in some of their wars instruct ed them to completely obliterate some of the nations from the face of the earth.
 After these preliminary remarks the chaplain launched into the main part of his address which dealt with the ! moral and spiritual welfare of our soldiers, not only in our training camps but on the battlefield. in fact from the time they leave home until they return

From that time on my friends the

"Cooties," or body lice, are the bane
of Tommy's existence.
The aristocracy of the trenches very
seldom call them "cooties," they speak
of them as fleas.

insect armed with bayonet, who is

energy and push of the American,
while the "cootie" has the bulldog
tenacity of the Englishman; he holds
on and consolidates or digs in until
his meal is finished.

permanently. No matter how often

Quit laxativss,
Purges; Try Mr.
Mr. Tonight Tomorrow Feel Right

It Is a mistake to continually dose
yourself with so-called laxative pills,
ealomel, oil, purges and cathartics
and force bowel action. It weakens
the bowels and liver and makes con-
slant dosing necessary.
Why don't you begin right today to
overcome your constipation and get
your system in such shape that daily
purging will be unnecessary? You
can do so If you get a Csc box of
Natures Remedy (NR Tablets) and
take one each night for q week or so.
Mr. Tablets do much more than
merely cause pleasant easy bowel &C
ton. This medicine acts upon the
digestive as well as eliminative organs
promotes good digestion, causes the
body to get the nourishment from all
the food you eat, gives you a good,
hearty appetite, strengthens the liver,
overcomes biliousness, regulates kidney
and bowel action and gives the whole
body q thorough cleaning out. This
accomplished you will not have to take
medicine every day. An occasional Mr.
tablet will keep your body in condi-
ton and you can always feel your best.
Try Natures Remedy (NR Tablets)
and prove this 1t Is the best bowel
medicine that you can use and costs
only Csc per box, containing enough to

gerous, because you are liable to burn
holes in the garments If you are not
careful.
Recruits generally sent to Blighty
for brand of insect powder adver-
tised as Good for body lice The ad-
vertisement is quite right; the powder
is good for "cooties;" they simply
thrive on it.
The older men of our battalion were
wiser and made scratchers out of
wood. These were rubbed smooth with
bit Of stone or sand to prevent splin-
tiers. They were about eighteen inches
long, and Tommy guarantees that a
scratcher Of this length will reach
any part of the body which may be at
tackled. Some of the fellows were lazy
and only made their scratchers twelve
inches, but many night when on
guard, looking over the top from the
fire step Of the front-line trench, they
would have given thousand "Quid"
for the other six inches.
Once while we were in rest billets an
Irish Hussar regiment camped In an
open field opposite our billet. After
they had picketed and fed their horses,
a general shirt hunt took place. The
troopers ignored the call "Dinner up"
and kept on with their search for big
game. They had curious method of
procedure. They hung their shirts over
hedge and beat them with their en-
trenching tool handles.
I asked one Of them why they didn't
pick them off by hand, and he an
swered, 1--WE haven't had bath for
nine weeks or change Of clabber. IF
I tried to pick the coolies of, my shirt,
I would be here for duration IF war;"
After taking close look at his shirt I
agreed with him; it was alive.

Amsterdam, Wednesday, March 7.
In an obviously inspired article,
the semi official Nord Deutsche ALI
gemeine Zeitung warns neutral
states in connection with the nego-
tiations by the United States to ac-
quire neutral tonnage and argues
that vessels so acquired assume a
hostile character, and must be treat
ed as such no matter whether the
tonnage is employed within or with
out the barred zone.
The paper contends that such
transfer of tonnage by neutrals is
tantamount to indirect participation
by neutrals in economic war against
Germany, and involves serious dan
ger of complications, "as already
shown in the history of the United
States during the present war"
1t adds that participation by neu-
trails in such negotiations is an act
hardly consonant" with neutrality,
