and those who have the old spirit of

There is certainly a spirit of inten-

in Paris, and the idea of grapes as an
apparel decoration as a substitute for
roses and feathers is met pleasantly
and acceptably by the American mind.

= sobriety?. 1t is a bit of bravado,
a laughing challenge, a flicker of
superiority shown by our Gallo
friends to nation that has been
treated like children and had its favor
ite and harmful beverage taken away
by an edict Of law?
The whole situation amuses the
French. They are not a whiskey
drinking, cocktail nation, but life to
them without the grape would not be
worth the living. They have never
thought of it in. this way. and 1t would
not be possible for any government to
take the fruit away from them.
In a nation where the smallest paid
worker, the most insular peasant the
tiniest microcosm in the Industrial
world has his glass of wine twice a
day, the fact that full grown, sturdy
nation of a hundred million people
must have its stimulating pap" taken
away by a parental hand Is so APP
palling, 80 absurd, that they cannot
understand the meaning OF a land Of
liberty.
They do not see the need Of 1t, for
they are not a country Of drunkards,
as the Anglo-S axons are alleged to be.
They take their beverage moderately;
1t stimulates slightly and cheers
greatly, and an intoxicated French
man is so rare sight that observers
are aghast at his indiscretion.
The French workman has not the
Anglo-Saxon inclination to spend his
wages in a saloon. He does not re-
turn empty handed to a hard worked
family. He does not send his chill

He, of all men in the world, loves
the juice OF the grape and considers
It necessary to living; and yet
throughout the centuries Of its usage
he has never abused 1t. If he drinks

lemon. OF whislSey he will have none.
When the poilu saw how 10000
big, sturdy. independent, cheering
American soldiers were forbidden to
touch drink, while he had his wine
brought near the trenches in stu
pendous hogsheads. so that he could
drink and fight, there began that
strange misunderstanding Of our peo-
pie which is said to still exist in
France.
Grapes as Decoration.
This, without doubt, was the moral
and mental situation that induced
France to throw grapes into the world
of designing as the first type of orna-
mentation.
1t was a pretty jest It was a bit OF
laughing satire. 1t was gayly taken
up by French women in token Of the
great American remuneration. And

fl Is an old. old theory among those
who love artistic apparel that Bacchus
gave the world an exquisite form OF
ornamentation.

books. The student Of art should do

What They Mean to You

All eyes have been turned toward
versailles and the formal act of
signing the Peace Treaty.
A great deal of attention has been
centered on President Wilson's S
fourteen points.
The fourteen points for an ever.
lasting peace, so vital to all nations.
We have remade the world in a
political sense, we have still to re-
build and restore so much that has
been destroyed, so much that is in
dispensable to the prosperity of ma
tons and to happiness of mankind.
The best counsel that the wisest of
statesman can now give to the peo-
pie of all lands is to turn their eyes
and thoughts to the future. 1t is by
work alone that the world can be
restored. Nothing but work can
build up the waste places. feed the
hungry and relieve the needy. But
it means hard work and to accom-
plish this we must be physically
Fit"
Let us consider how the Fourteen
Points to Everlasting Health will
make you physically fit.
The Fourteen Points of Vitolyn,
Natures Tonic of Herbs, will rebuild
your entire system. Our health should
always be considered first, for it de-
mands daily care.
Vitolyn is indicated for all forms
of stomach trouble. kidney trouble
and hase been found of great value
in the treatment of chronic consti-
patton by regulation of the bowels.
1t is designed to rebuild shatter-
ed nerves, create a good normal ap-

eral tonic.
Vitolyn will relieve gas on the
stomach which is caused by fermen-
tation of food.

The idea of holding celebrations

in the vicinity. Halifax has started

comes an appeal for the copy that the
