Dialect Known ~ "PennsyIvanis
Dutch" Bids Fair Soon to be
Thing Of The Past.

Pennsylvania Dutch" that curious
combination OF German, English and
Yankee. which since Revolutionary
times has developed in parts of Penn.
sylvania and Ohio. is going into the
discard. For more than n century n
has been growing Just as languages
always grow, with use. II has cor
rupted words, made words, created
forms, one might say a grammar of
its own. II has not, It is true, pro-
dueed a literature. But 1t has been the
speech Of a considerable number of
persons in their homes. II long since
ceased to be recognizable as German,
and English II never was. In It, stu
dents tell us, are Mingled German,
English, Welsh, French and even Gae-
lie words.
Pennsylvania Dutch" has been the
dialect Of those German disciples b.
Prtcr Memo who came 70 Amc-ic.,
some Of them in pre-Revolution da.,
seeking religious liberty and political
freedom. Some of these went into
Ohio during Revolution days, others In
to Canada, some as late as Civil war
days. Their religious beliefs contrib
uted to isolation. And they were large
ly an agricultural people.
Now the word has gone forth among
the Mennonites that 1t is no longer
patriotic to speak pennsylvania
Dutch" and as fast and as thoroughly
as possible these unbelievers in war are
discarding the speech of childhood and
home associations. The task is not an
impossible one to them, since all or
nearly all of them have had some ex-
perience in the common schools. From
among them 5000 young men have
gone overseas to fight the oppressors
of their ancestors and the barbarians
who threaten their own liberties.
The banning of Pennsylvania
Dutch" is an impressive object lesson
to all Americans. Let's all resolve to
speak English.-Detroit Free Press.

TAJlRI GRADUATE OF YALE
New Mayor Of Tokyo, Japan, Finished
His Education in Great Amerl-
can University.

Viscount Inajiro Tajlri, newly elect
ed mayor of the city of Tokyo, Japan,
is graduate of the class Of 10 of
Yale university. where he specialized
in economics, finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he was appointed
secretary in the department of
finance and also to chair in the inn
perial university at Tokyo. Suisse
quently he was director of the bureau
Of the national debt, banks and reve.
nue..
In the course of time he was admit.
ted to the house of peers, and was vice
minister of finance, first in 1S92-1S97
and again in 1S9S-1904. He was made
baron in 1895 and a viscount in 1907
More recently he has been chief of
the board of audit. To knowledge of
the technique of banking, national
finance and international credit the
viscount adds interest in and mastery
of natural science, and In both fields
he is an authority.
His selection as mayor comes after
a long and futile effort of the munich
pal assembly to agree upon a candi-
date chosen from the ranks of poll
ticians or ordinary civilians.

The stomach regulates the condition
OF the blood and is therefore the fount-
ain-head Of health or disease. Tanlac
is intended primarily for this most i'm
portant organ, but it is not uncommon
for persons who have used ID to say
that Tanlac relieved them OF rheuma-
tism and many ailments not generally
recognized as having their origin In
stomach trouble. The genuine J. i.
Gore Co. Tanlac is now being sold by
y. y. Danforth and leading druggists
everywhere.
