FrenchssSoldiers Lead
In Worlds Sacrifice

AT the outbreak of war the popula-
ton of France was 36 millions and OF
these 6 millions have been offered on
the altar of freedom, thereby leading
every other nation. We OF America
must be very grateful for this and also
for an invaluable remedy for stomach,
liver and intestinal ailments discOv-
cred by the peasants Of France, which
it is reported has saved many lives in
America, prevented thousands of sur
gical operations and relieved meal
culable suffering among its people.
Geo. H. Mayr, for many years a
prominent Chicago chemist, imports
the ingredients and sells this remedy
under the name of Mayr's Wonderful
Remedy. 1t is a simple, harmless
preparation that removes the catarrh-
al mucus from the intestinal tract and
allays the Inflammation which causes
practically all stomach, liver and in
testinal ailments. including appendi-
citis. One dose will convince or
money refunded.

THE MYSTERY

We know not where the journey ends,
Nor what our missions here on
earth;
The fates provide our foes and
friends,
The days are filled with grief or
mirth,
Wise men have sought to solve the
plan
Which holds and keeps us all in
bound
And shapes the destiny of man,
But none the key to it has found.
No gay philosopher or sage
Can truly tell what waits in store
Or guess the purpose of the age;
They only know what's gone before
Fools follow fathers wise, and then
Great souls are nurtured in the
slums
And none can say what gift for men
With every little baby comes.
We choose the task we'd like to do,
And shape our lives around whim I,
We train the boy, as if we knew

LIVING ON VEGETABLES

Dr.. Odfeld, famous English DOCTOR says you can
live los years. if you will live dandeon leaves grapes
milk and honey.
Cornaro, famous Italian, lived to 1O4 on red wine
meat, fish, fruit, etc.
Some would prefer Cornaro's recipe to the dandeion
leaves But there thus far no prohibition concerning
the latter we should be grateful to the Englishman
for his information.
There is another gentleman with diet theory He
says he will "crcle the EARTH eating raw vegetables
Perhaps he WILL but what of it? Any donkey can circle
the earth, eating vegetables, but he can do little
thinking he goes Tostoy and Wagner both tried vege
tablesboth found they could live, nicely but they ud
not work with their heads
The dark gentleman can row heavy boat up the Nile
on few handfuls of grain But meat eating, alcohol
using Engshman is his boss and other eaters
since the days of Augustus have bossed him. Aga turn
rock into SOIL make it fertile soil produces grass the
OK spends two years dgestng the grass turning into
beef that YOU digest in forty minutes
man with much leisure as an OK and wit. little
mental work to do can make perfect success of raw
vegetable diet

THE ARMY's RESPONSIBILITY,

"The strike is lost" says of the labor leaders at
Gary, "and the army is responsible"
The responsibility of the army is not merely for the
other deeds for which the army is responsible which are
Of immeasuraby greater Importance
One is the maintenance of law and order and the pro-
lection of property and life, to degree which every
thoughtful man must realize would have been beyond rea
sonable expectation without it. We have only to recall
memories of the appalling incidents of former strikes in
which passions were not high conditions omnibus
as in this one to appreciate from what the army is ire
sponsble" for having saved us
Another the vindcaton of the open shop" meaning
the right of free American citizens to work when and
where they will, subject only to mutual agreement be-
tween themselves and their employers without being COM
PEELED to pay, as condition of earning living tribute
to some organization not of their own choosing For
this, too, the army is doubtless responsible"
third responsibility" of the army Of the United
States for the detection, uncoverng and thwarng of
reasonable conspiracy against the government and
against the integrity of the republic itself An army
officer has officially reported Congress the discovery
Of an extensive propaganda at Gary and elsewhere di-
rected by German and Russian Boshevss the purpose
Of which was to fomen resistance to and violation of
the law and the ultimate overthrow of the American
government; in word, anarchism For this it is to be
cheerully admitted that the army is responsible"
'Monsht ago" testified an army officer who knew
whereof he spoke ian attempt was made to organize
the Russian Red Guard in Gary When the strike came
it was to be the Communist or Red army"
WAS that for the forceful overthrow of the govern
month" asked Senator Hoke Smith
Eyes, sir; that and that alone"
The army is indeed responsible" 1t is response
bty which it is proud to BEAR and for its bearing and
execution of which the American people are profoundly
grateful

NATIONAL BANKRUPTCY.

Will the nations of Europe, all of the big ones Eng.
land included go into bankruptcy? There danger that
it may happen, and very serious danger The German
mark par value IS cents, is worth about two cents If
Germany can't pay France can't meet obligations If
France goes, England will have hard work surviving and
only heavy cut into capital legal conscaton Of accu
mulated wealth, can the day. And that may not
save it.
The plight Of France is desperate, for the Frenchman
paying nine francs for one dollar when he buys in
America his only big market must pay in francs even
at our high prices eighty per cent more than the ap
parent cost.
1t used to be SAID glbly that wOrldwar would mean
world bankruptcy The glib saying may become solemn
serious fact.
The selfish question here is, what will happen to us
with Europe bankrupt? merchant is not happy when

Some lady came to see ma this
AFTERNOON bringing kid with her, be-
ing a kid with little nose with big
glesses on it and ma sed, Benny take
Mrs. Jonsins little boy up in the set
ting room and play with him.
WITCH me and the little kid went up,
me saying, Do you wunt to play lot

Wat do care, sed the kid.

wunt to play lotto or don't you yes or
no?
None of your bizniss, sed the kid
And he jest set there looking as if
he thawt he was tuff, and after vile,
pretended to smell my fist, saying
Gosh my fist smells funny, it smells
like cinnamin or sumthing.
WITCH the kid dident say enything;
and pretended to smell it agen, say1
ing, Gosh, it serteny smells funny it
smells like some kind of perfume OF
sumthing.
Lets smell, sed the kid. And | put
my fist under his nose and wen he
started to smell l jammed his nose
SO hard with it that he started to bawll
like some baby, and his mother and

Nuthing, he tried to smell my fist

EATING THE DEAD.

There is, in the land of the Chow Chow tribe in
Africa, where the English working auvial deposits
of tin, in barren land swept by tropical rains.
Loss of their tin does not worry the natives they have
no need of it. They live stark naked and women
and carry no dinner pals.
But they miss their food supply which used to consist
of men and women captured in war. England has or.
dered, dig tin, don't fight"
Now, this is the dreadful truth not fcton-the ma
tives eat dead human bodies Superstition does not let
them eat each other within the tribal family so one
family exchanges its dead person for some dead human
outside the family group And civilization, working or
creatures not ready for it, establishes something worse
even than cannibalsm. 1t is hard to make people per
feet overnight Sometimes, with the best of intentions
you make them worse
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-11-15

Just what God had in mind for him.
And joy or misery depend
On this blind choice in every case
But none can know until the end
That he is in his proper place.
How many men have gone astray?
How many men have missed the
mark
And blindly CROPPED along the way,
Living completely in the dark
Because they never found the toll
Which God had sent them here to
do?
Good seed flung at barren soil,
Wasted because it never grew.
Who knows but that the failure, sad
In different circumstances here
Or changed trife would have had
His course of fame and victory
clear?
And since no man can truly say
What makes or mars our little
lives
We should rejoice from day to day
That so much that is good surviv
es.

THAT'S 1T.

A group of Clubmen in Philadel-

Sam Lazarus steak about Sunday
school superintendent who had eloped
with bankers wife.
Another case of platonic friend

Samuel G. Blythe, the noted au-
thor, smiled grimly.
"Platonic friendship" said he.
"Platonic friendship-that's the gun
you didn't think was loaded"

Some Sweet Day.

Some sweet day I will reform the
world, and make the crooked places
straight; then every evil will be hurl-
ed to outer darkness, sure as fate,
But now I have to do my chores, and
keep the we'll known wolf away;
have TO fix the cellar doors, and lay
in coal and -four and hay. Some day,
with you, I'll take the stump and talk
from morn till night arrives, send old
abuses to the dump, and brighten up
mems darkened lives. But now
have to raise the price of things we
need-it takes some roland pay
the chap who bought the ice, and

t'other guy who brings the coal. And
sometimes. as pay my bills, | think
perhaps that helps as much as whoop-
ing up and down the hills, demanding
things, to beat the Dutch. And often,
as l do my chores, think that helps
the world along as much as raising
raucous roars, and showing that all
things are wrong. Some day I'll leave
my useful tasks, forsake my simple
homely joys, and stand on boxes and
on casks, and wave red flags, and
make a noise. Then you will know,
if you are near, that something's
wrong beneath my thatch, and you
may take me by the ear, and lead me
to the BOBBY hatch.
