He Is George E Rihbany OF the

country from his native land, Syria.
when he was 10 years old. In four
minute speech ON the value OF War

recently, he said in closing:
Hate Is not characteristic Of the
American people. but the Germans
taught US unwillingly how to hate

UNCLE SANS MONEY
BEST IN THE WORLD
Color Looks Good To Boys Coming
Home After Seeing Only Foreign
Currency for Months.

Just how good American money
looks to a man away from home is
illustrated by the story told by one OF
those boys who fought in France In
the war for the preservation OF civil
ixation, and who afterwards saw ser
vice across the border in Germany.
Sergeant H. H. Coffee was attached
TO Company L, 354th Infantry. and tor
six months was at Trier, Germany, 80
miles from Nuremberg Now he IL

while we were In France" said
Sergeant Coffee, I'VE were paid IN
French money And afterward, when
VIC were in Germany we were paid In
German money The difference be-
tween the French and German money.

OF American money.
When We got this foreign stun the
boys we're very liberal with It. They

when we got to Brest on our way
homo, and that money was exchanged
for real American money, all that lib
crafty disappeared. and 1t was guard

That il one of the lessons the war
has taught. American money, any

Of the world. That 10 why the Liberi

Some 260, 900 hand grenade banks
will be ready for distribution in the
FIFTH Federal Reserve District by

purchase one or more War Savings
Stamps Is saved in a specified time,
the hand grenade becomes the prop
erty of the child.
There has been some delay in
Washington In getting the grenades
ready for distribution, due to the large
number that had to be prepared for
their new capacity, but 1t is now as
sured that they will shortly be ready.
Every child who would like a real
souvenir OF the great war can get il
by calling at the bank as soon after
August 20 as possible, for there will

Imitation EIks' Teeth,

Imitation elks' teeth in large quanti. ties recently have made their appear. ance in the local market to the alarm of jewellers who deal in the genuine article. Some of the bogus teeth are easily detected. Others made of bone or walrus tusks are fair limitations of the genuine. A sure test, the jewellers say, is to immerse the teeth in muriatic acid. The acid will bleach and rough en the better limitations and almost dis, lntegrate the poorer ones.

Po1a was q Thracian colony when the Romans swooped down and took it in 178 B. C., and stormy existence followed this descent of the wOrld.cOn' querors. In 1879 it was virtually blot ted out of existence when the Gencese, daring forbears of Admiral Christopher Columbus, defeated the Venetians in a great sea fight off the port, and then wrecked the town-and kept it out of the annals for century and half. It came back finally and waxed impor- tant again and since 1915 was Austria'f principal naval harbor.

Panic Active Aid to Disease.

Panic, in truth, is always the most potent enemy upon which disease can call for aid. For panic not merely cripples the mind and the morale; it has directly disastrous consequences to the body itself. It deranges the di. gesticn. it strains the heart, it slows the circulation of the blood. Thus 1t weakens the whole system, predispos- ing to infection by disease and making 1t more difficult to escape outcome ii infection strikes. 4
