 Note.

Amsterdam, Feb. 7.-Germania of Berlin states that Pope Benedict has sent letter to the Bavarian Eplsco- rate in which referring to his peace note he says:
 ''To the deep anxiety and unrest with which my heart is milled by the long duration of this most lamentable war is also added the experience that my exhortation to re-establish peace, which certainly was the result of a sincere endeavor in the interest and welfare of all, has taken course which I least expected; and this eX- hortaton was even utilized by wicked persons to incite popular hatred against me while l intended to give proof of my love-"

The Best Judge of Man.

"In the long run, a woman Is the sest judge of man. 4 man never finds out just which woman loved him until ho is weary of love. Clever re- marks about women are not necessa. rily true. Middlc-.gcd women give the most joy to their lovers: That seems very odd and is a circumstance Wor- thy of OUT very closest scrutiny. bur for some strange reason it remains neglected. It is the theme of Indiat Sunmcr' Only a vulgar man befools woman in love. On the other hand, Q capacity for love is rare, like ca. pacity for statcsmanship or poetry."- Alexander Hardy.

Hot Water Drinkino.
A stomach cleansing treat

A stomach cleansing treatment is often just as important as rest for the organ, says WH: Eastman in Phy- sical Culture. The best ordinary meth cd of stomach cleansing is the drink ing of considerable amount of hot water. Not too hot. Just hot enough so that you can drink it with fair ra- pidity and take considerable amount into the stomach in 2, short time. If you will drink cup of hot water ev- cry five minutes until two quarts or more have been consumed, the result will be unfailing.

HcW to Save Butter.

"Carelessness about butter is con- mon American sin against thrift. In nearly every family some member has the habit of taking huge helpings of butter which he or she does not use. The remedy is simple. Cut slices of the oblong pound of butter a quarter of an inch thick, and cut each slice into four pieces. When the butter is served. each member of the family take one small piece at time. It sounds like small economy, but it is one which careful city housewives have nracticed for years.-Farm and Preside.

PHOENIX BOY GOES UP. |
ANOTHER OVERSEAS.

Two fathers in the federal service re-
ceived information from thei sons yes
terday. one letter from Edwin A.
Langston, son of John H. Langston,
assistant United States attorney, and
the other a notice concerning Horace
Mckee, son of Nat T. Mckee, assistant
United States clerk of the district
court.
Young Langston reports that he is
now a sergeant in company A, first
platoon, Students Army Training
Corps, at the University of Arizona,
Tucson. McKee's letter came from the
headquarters of the United States ma
rines in Washington, merely stating
that the young marine had arrived
safely over seas" Mr.. Mckee states
that the last letter from Horace indi-
Gated that he left this country three
weeks ago Sunday. Goebel Brawner,
also of Phoenix, in the same regiment
with Mckee, has arrived abroad, ac-
cording to similar information received
by his parents.
Horace McKee's address is Company
A, 18th L. S. Marines, American Expe-
dictionary Forces. Mr. Mckee states
that warning has been issued to those
writing to boys across the sea to spell
out the name of the eXpeditionary
forces, as the initials, "AE.F," have
been frequently taken to refer to the
Australian forces, that use the same
letters.
