Deathbed Repentance

One of the things Germany accused of for years
before this began her remarkable commercial
practice of dumping goods foreign markets to steal trade
and ruin business of competitors BY doing this she also
tore down high and working conditions in those
tries.
Germany offers to discontinue this, if only the
other nations will stop their march Berlin and agree

prices at enable cheap

Of course, it is long way from Munich to Berlin
and Bavaria isn't in Prussia but this is indication that

harder pound at that German line in France and the
dents make in it the quicker Germany will come
with profers to clean her hands commercially

sALTING DOWN THE .'KALE''

American eoIdiers abroad are not
squandering their money. They hare
developed thrift, a study of the con-
ditions by &. a. Hungerford, one OF
the z. If. C. A. men at the front who
has helped many a soldier to send
money home, recently wrote: '4The
American soldier Is the thriftfest
American alive"
1t has been estimated that the aY4
erage American soldier spends ne
more than twenty cents a day, ana
out of that he purchases toilet ar
ticIes, tobacco and candy.
Hundreds OF the American soldiers
have been paying for Liberty Bonds
as we'll as alIotting half of their pay
to their families. In spite Of that,
Y. ri. G. A. huts "over There" are
thronged with men In uniform WHO

IPERSHING'S VETJERATTON
TOUCHES FRENCH PEOPLE

Two army officers were discussing
General Pershing at a dinner table
the other evening.
/. HE has been quite a revelation to
those who thought of Americans as
Ishirt-sleeved diplomatists," said one
officer,
Then was told again, with thrill
of pride, the story OF his tactful
eech to General Foch, as all that
& merica had - was offered to the
French GeneraIissimo.
'But," said the first speaker, chat
speech may have been graceful; yet
it does not compare With the action
lat the Tomb of Napoleon. You re-
member his visit there. Well, to
tow him a signal honor, the sheathed
Sword of Napoleon was brought and
handed to him Most officers would
have Withdrawn the sword from Its
sheath. Not so General Pershing.
Holding it as If it were some sacred
Symbol, he kissed it tenderly, bowling
low as he did it. And it was that
action that endeared him, more than
aii else, to the French people. All
the papers were full of it the next
day"
eyes" said the other officer, che
has made very few mistakes, and he
has succeeded in giving the French
people the impression that we know
how things should be done and have
Ia veneration for things that ought
Ito be venerated."

OLTR LEFEWS

Our boys arc defending
this country on the high seas
and on the land. Our own
defense against a common
enemy is to keep the system
clean by Kidding the body Of
the toxins, or poisons, which
are bred in the intestines.
When you feel tired, sleepy,
headachy, when your breath
is offensive, or pimples ap-
pear on the face and neck,
it is time to recognize the
danger and protect your
bodily health by taking a
good laxative or liver medi-
cine.
The machinery of the body
needs to be oiled, kept in
good condition, just as the
guns or machinery of a ship.
Why should a human person

neglect his own machinery
more than that of his auto
