your liver fails to perform its func-

food you eat ferments in your stom-

Umbrellas Once Used
In Religious Ceremony
by the Greeks.

Umbrellas are by no means a
modern continuance. They are
found sculptured on monuments OF
Egypt and in the ruins of Nineveb
and their use in China and India is
very ancient. In Greece they had
part in certain religious ceremon-
les, and there is no doubt from the
paintings on ancient Greek vases
that umbrellas, very much like
those in use at the present day,
were known centuries before the
Christian era. They were also used
among the Romans, but only by
women. ,---s~.s
The umbrella also seems to have
been part Of the insignia of roy
atty, as is still the case in many
parts of Asia and Africa. An Eng
lish dictionary publishes in 1908
defines an umbrella as a screen"
commonly used by women to keep
off the rain"
Umbrellas were introduced in
America in the early part of the 18th
century, but their use at first were
confined exclusively to women, as,
it was considered efeminate to
carry one.
Jonas Hanaway is said to be the
first man who walked the streets of
London with an open umbrella over
his head to keep off the rain. He
is said to have used it for so years
before they came into general use
for this purpose.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

A number of girls have written to
ME lately about their entaglements
with fake heroes and they want
advice about the best method of
extricating themselves from their
difficulties.
The easiest way of avoiding a
scrape, to make an Irish bull, is to
keep out of it in the first place. And
another very good way these mo-
mentous days, when few things ap-
pear at their face value, is to keep
on hand an extry supply of com
mon sense and take generous dose
of it every time the impulse to do
something rash overtakes you.
A large percentage of the men
posing as heroes" and the recipi-
ents of extraordinary decorations
are not soldiers at all, and the other
half are discredited military men
who have been dishonorably dis
charged from the army, and in many
instances have served Jail sentences,
Distrust the hero who brags
much and flocks alone. If he has
been fighting Germany, practically
single handed shiploads of dough-

She had gone through a marriage
ceremony with an alleged soldier
in big city about 50 miles distant
from her home town." He had
begged her to tell no one, not even
her mother, and she had obeyed
him implicitly.
After two months, during
which time he never permitted her
to tell any member of her family
about their marriage, he deserted
her. Becoming desperate. she wrote
to the captain of the company to
which he claimed to belong, and re-
ceived letter in reply stating he
was not acquainted with anyone of
that name.
She then turned her attention to
her marriage license, which appears
to be genuine, though she was also
uncertain as to its authenticity, and
with this she proposes to confront
her family and tell them the truth.
1t seems the family had never
cared much about the hero" in the
first place. From his own account
he had done almost too much to
win the war and they had warned
the girl when he was coming to see
her that his exploits were too MT
merous and varied for even 10 SOL
diers.
But all to no effect She fell
deeply in love, made the secret
marriage, and will probably spend
some years, at least, in repenting
her folly.
When the Hero" is Foreign.
When the fake hero" is a for
eigner it is a little more difficult
to decide on his credentials, though
the same old rule of modesty holds
good. The man who has done big
things is inclined to be reticent
about them, particularly if he is an
Engl;shman.
The British have beautiful word
called "swank.' and they avoid
"swank," which is a good deal like
our bunkum, as if it were mustard
gas. To anyone who has heard
Colonel Bishop, the great Canadian
aviator, talk it will not be neces-
sary to define "swank."
50 carefully did this modest hero
avoid every intimation of being
anything but plain soldier, and
the so odd German planes that he
downed being anything more than
an all-in-the day 's-work stunt, that
he came periously near irritating
his audience at times, when they
wanted to cheer his magnifcentlike
modcstY.
