UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND IT
Erenchmen Gathered in Groups to Watch American Who Was
 Actually Drinking Water.

William Allen White tells in the Book News Monthly how thirsty he became for water, just common, plain water, on motor journey through France, where 1t was not safe for sanitary reasons, to drink the water of the region. The coffee did not taste good and the wine tasted like diluted vinegar and looked like pokeberry ink. It seemed only good to put in fountain pens. Finally, at the end of week he and his party stopped at hotel where there was bottled water brought from the American cOmmis- sary department. When he came to the table he ordered bottle and this is what he says of it:
 "Try going seven days on pokeber- ry ink and boiled coffee yourself and note the reaction. Your veins will be dry; your stomach will crackle as it grinds the food. The water in that bottle, quart bottle. evaporated. They brought another. 1t disappeared. They brought third. The walters in the hotel were attracted by the sight. No Frenehman ever drinks water with his meals, and the spectacle of this American sousing himself with water while he ate was q rare sight. The walters gathered in the corner to watch me. Henry saw them, and mo- toned toward me, and tapped his fore head. They went and brought other walters and men from the bar. He was rare bird; this American go- ing on a big drunk on water. So they peered indoors. through windows and stood in the dining room corners to watch the fourth bottle go down. And when at the end of the meal the Amer iean rose, and walked through the crowd they made way for him. A des- perate man at least commands respect, whatever his delusion may be-"

DUTCH COMMERCE RESUMES
nounced After Ministers Re- quest Action.

Amsterdam. = Telegrams were dis patched by the chamber of commerce of Amsterdam to the Dutch foreign ministers of colonies urgently request ing that shipping traffic between the Dutch East Isdies asd the United States be resumed immediately. The minister of colonies replied that in structions had been cabled to the governor general of the East Indies to the effect that traffic in the direc- ton of America may now resume.
 The request of the chamber of com merce was made on the ground that the accumulations of colonial prod ucts were now assuming unmanage- able proportions

Bank Responsible for Error.

An interesting decision has been made by the Missouri court of appeals, relative to holding the sender of a telegram responsible for mistake in transmission. A Wyoming bank tele- graphed a brokerage house. offering carload of potatoes at $1.35 hundred pounds. The telegraph company's mis- take in transmission made the price 8 cents a hundred. The supposed offer was accepted by the brokers and the potatoes were shipped. When payment was rendered at the rate of B cents hundred the Wyoming bank refused to accept the money and brought suit for the full amount. The Missouri court of appeals ruled that the bank had made the telegraph company it's agent in forwarding the telegram and' that ns the brokerage house acted in good faith it could not he compelled to pay more than the amount quoted ip the message.

WHAT VIKINGS FRENCH HEART
Noxlous Weeds Growing in Former Highly Cultivated Fields Cause
 of Real Agony.

Agricultural loss is not confined to northern France. The very high level of intensive productivity of the soil in general was everywhere due to two factors which war has largely elimi- mated human labor and chemical fer tilization. Indeed, the spectacular fea- lures of agricultural destruction in the departments evacuated last spring gaping shell holes. erumbling trenches, barhed wire trailing like some rusty snake across the fields, even the fruit trees cut down to the level of the soil look less sinister to the French eye than the miles and miles. the thou sands and thousands of acres of rich wheat and beet sugar land untouched by fire and sword. yet grown waist high with the thistles, brambles and every other sort of pestilential weed; ; the apple trees full of great punches of miStletoe Before the war q French farmer was haled into court by his neighbors and fined for allowing this ties in his fields and the mistletoe in his orchard-remember this and you will get an echo of the tragic reSon- ance that the phrase "terres abandon nees" has in the French heart.-New Republic.

 THE COUNTRY.
AUTOMOBILE MEN TO SUFFER
Non-sssentia Industries to be Treated Allke-Steel Men Agree to Pro- gram-No Discrimination
 Allowed.

Washington.-Every ton of steel and pig iron in the country virtually has been communicated by the gop- ernment for war purposes, and any surplus remaining after war needs are met will be distributed to nonwar in dustries under strict government SUI pervision.
 This was learned officially follow. ing publication in New York of min utes of meeting attended by the chief steel men of the country, and J. Leonard Replogle, director of steel for the War Industries board. At that meeting Replogle announced the gov ernment's new policy to guarantee a constant supply of steel for the na- tion's war activities. He told the steel men they would be required to devote their entire capacity to war orders. and they signed a pledge agreeing to this program
 Eight thousand tons of pig iron were taken from large mill engaged in less essential work and shipped to steel mill doing war work, which was about to close down because of pig-iron shortage. Similar action has been taken more than once during the past few weeks.
 The passenger automobile industry, one of the largest consumers of steel of the so-called less essential indus tries, will be among the first to feel the effct of th nv policy. Represen- tatives of 75 per cent of automobiles manufacturers of the United States are to meet a government committee composed of F. B. Moves, director of conservatios of the fuel administra- tion; George N. Peck, director of fin ished products of the War Industries board. and Replogle.

Labor. Saving Devices.

Whether conditions after the war will be better or worse, for the aver age man in the United States, than they were before the war Is a queS- ton that cannot he decided until the war has been over for some time says the Christian Science Monitor. Omin- ous signs are. however, appearing here and there. For example, somebody has invented a device which enables one man to do two mems wood saving. This does not look encouraging, but perhaps it will he compensated for by the invention of q device which will enable two patient and industrious men to fill out one mans income tax blank.

HEALTH HINTS

Drill is mental as we'll as a phys lcal discipline.
 Work will take your mind off most of your ills.
 .~~
 Preparedness Is nine-tenths strength and physical endurance.
 Food, water and oxygen are fuel for running the human machine.
 Obesity comes from overlooking the stomach and underworking the body.
 Nine-tenths of ''the blues" comes from bad liver and lack of outdoor exercise.
 If you take more food than the d. gestion can handle you not only tire he stomach but the whole system.
 Full, deep breathing, drinking plenty of water and keeping the skin active will keep most people out of the doe tors hands.
 When drinking glass of water stand erect and take a full breath first, then Hrink 0ith chest out and hips back and head up.
 Two things are essential to clean skin-one is bathing and rubdown, but the other is still more important and that is precipitation.

there was some doubt as to whether

alluring calls to other works in his
church connection. His numerous
friends here are pleased that he
elects to remain in Lexington and
ought to appreciate his acceptance
of the Lexington church pastorate
In view of the fact that by such
action he surrenders very laud.
