WAS GIFT 10 QUEEN Victoria
First Fskinsese Dog Brought to Eli.
rope 4 Present From the Ems
press Of China.

Pekingese dogs have been known to
the western world little more than
half century. During the footing of
the imperial palace at Picking, an Eng
lish soldier picked up dog belong
ing to the empress. Her attendants
attacked the Tommy en- masse. He
suggested that the dog be sent as a
gift from the empress to Queen Vic
toria.
The plan was agreed to and the
dog was sent to Buckingham palace,
where he was known as Looty. Other
dogs took exception to his appear
apce and made him wish he were back
in China. When the prince and
princess of Wales returned from a
trip to the continent, the princess per-
suaded the queen to let her take him
to her home at Sandrlngham. The
princess thought Looty's loneliness
should be ended. since he couldn't
make friends with any English dog,
so she sent to China for a mate of
his own kind.
The fad started by the princess was
taken up by London society and
the breeding of Pekingese dogs be-
came SO popular that London dog
shows have sometimes been devoted
exclusively to the new type,

SENSE OF SMELL WONDERFUL
oIfactory Nerves Capable Of Doing
Work That Can Only Be Called
Marvellous.

1t is said that the tenth part Of a
grain of musk will continue for years
to fill room with it's odoriferous par
ticles, and that at the end Of that time
it will not be appreciably diminished
in weight.
A cubic inch Of air arising from the
fame of Bunsen burner has been es-
timated to contain no fewer than
4S0,000,000 dust particles,
+ A drop Of blood that might be sus-
pended from the point of a needle
contains about 100000 red corpus
cles.
Yet, although matter is>so marvel
ously diyisible, the olfactory nerves
are infinitely more sensitive. Much
yet remains to be investigated with
reference to these nerves which will
discriminate with such apparent mirac-
ulous accuracy.

Evils of Eye Fatigue.

Many nervous as well as other dis
eases are caused by incorrect illumina-
ton. The eye is subject of prime
consideration in connection with our
health and happiness. Eye fatigue
Spoils the disposition as that is one
Of the conditions given for inefficient
work we find here a cause for more
loss of the workman's time. When
reduced to a dollar and cents basis
this loss shows large percentage
over the cost of the lighting that
would be required to eliminate them.
AS judgment is dependent upon per-
ception and perception upon the sight,
then the laborer, to be efficient, must be
able to see fine details and small OBJ
jects at close range with sharpness
and distinction, to distinguish objects
at distance with accuracy, and to
have clear perception Of all objects in
the intermediate space,

Lone SOLDIER HALTS
ADVANCE OF GERMANS
Planted Machine Gun in Abandoned
J. Tank and Moved Down Huns
Like Hay Before Sickle.

There is a regular soldier still in
France who is going to get the Con
gressioaal Medal of Honor. To him
was given the supreme honor OF
breaking up German attack all by
himself, an attack, If it had been sue.
cessful, that would have decided the
fortunes Of the battle in favor OF the
Hun.
And be it noted that he could have
very well said to himself on that oc:
casion that he could not afford" to
remain where he was, a target for the
whole German army.
He could have very easily placed
himself in the attitude some people
have taken toward the Liberty loans
and tie War Savings campaign. He
was just an American army corporal,
Yankee non-com, but he didn't try
to shirk any responsibility.
It happened near Verdun, in the II.
day battle of the Argonne. The Tegi.
ment to which the corporal belonged
was pretty badly shot up, The Huns
had thrown out smoke screens and
were attacking the Americans hard.
The lone soldier was falling back
with the others when he sighted dis
arled French tank and a German ma
chine gun. He planted that Hun
rapid firer in the French tank and got
busy From his station he command:
ed a hill top over which the Boche
must adva7ce. AS they came on IN
battalion formation he swept them
down" to use his own words, like hay
in front Of sickle"
He had no one with him to feed
that unfamiliar machine gun, remem.
Der. The water jacket on the gun
boiled dry from the stream OF bullets
that kept squirting into the German
masses He eniptied his canteen OF
water into the jacket and cooled 1t
off a bit, and wen methodically to
work aga.l, killing Germans. All the
time he was firing German cartridges
collected from behind the tank.
He was on the job and doing what
he had been trained to do, and what
America sent him over to do. Final:
" the Huns called for a barrage to
get that lone gunner in the smashed
tank. They sent over something like
200 six-inch Shells in an effort to put
him and that gun out OF action.
None landed" he reports.
That sort Of american spirit ls
needed noy to make the coming gen.
GRAFTON a prosperous and thrifty one,
To make America solid before the
world for all time to come, each one
Of us must stand his ground" and do
his part in this work OF reconstruc:
ton.
We can TO more afford to ignore the
principles CT thrift and saving and the
splendid opportunity our government
offers for saving and investment, than
could the soldiers OF America on
French battleields We have task
10 take care of that is ours and ours
alone in this work Of reconstruction
and thrift ~

THE NEWEST REllEDY
FOR
Backache. Rheumatism and Diopsy,

Kidney, Bladder and Uric Acid troubles
bring misery to many. When the kidneys
are weak or diseased, these natural filters
do not cleanse the blood sufficiently, and
the poisons are carried to oil parts of the
body. There follow depression, aches
and pains, heaviness, drowSinesS, irrita-
bility, headaches, chilliness and rheu-
matism. In some people there are sharp
pains in the back and loins, distressing
; bladder disorders and sometimes obstin.
ate dropsy. The uric acid sometimes
forms into gravel or kidney stones. When
the uric acid affects the muscles and
joints, it causes lumbago,, rheumatism,
govt or sciatica. This is the time to try
"Anuric."
During digestion uric acid Is absorbed
into the system from meat eaten, and
even from some vegetables. The poor
kidneys get tired and backache begins.
This is good time to take "Anuric,"
the new discovery of DR.. Pierce for Kid
ney trouble and Backache. Neglected
kidney trouble is responsible for many
deaths, and Insurance Company examin-
ing doctors always test the water of an
applicant before policy will be issued.
Have you ever set aside a bottle OF water
for twenty-four hours? A heavy sedi-
ment or settling sometimes indicates kid
ney trouble. The true nature and char
acter of diseases, especially those of the
kidneys and urinary organs, can often
be determined by careful chemical an
alysis and microscopical examination
this is done by expert chemists of the
Medical Staff of the Invalids' Hotel. If
you wish to know your condition send a
sample of your water to Doctor Pierce's
Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, and de-
scribe your symptoms. It will be ex.-
amined without any expense to you, and
Doctor Pierce or his Staff of Assisting
Physicians will inform you truthfully.

Soon after the entrance of the
United States in the war the successes
of the Central Powers in Roumania
had reduced that country to most
tragic condition and in the summer
of 1917, the American Red Cross des-
patched its first RoGmanian relief
contingent Two hospitals were at
once taken over and operated by the
Red Cross, canteen for the starving
refugees established and food and
clothing distributed over large area.
Transportation was one of the
toughest problems with which the Red
Cross workers in Roumania had to
deal. Here is seen an oXcart used
by the Red Cross to carry its relief
supplies up into the mountains.

DENIES DISCRIMINATION
AGAINST PORTO RICANS
Charges That Laborers on Ha-
waiian Plantations Suffer OPP
preston Declared Untrue.

HONOLULU, T. H.. September Is
Correspondents of the Associated
Press) Charges that Porto Rican la
borers on Hawaiian plantations were
oppressed and denied equal justice,
made in q communication signed by
a number Of Porto Ricans and placed
before the Porto Rican legislature.
March S. 1919. are declared by r. D.
Mead, secretary Of the Hawaiian Su-
gar Planters Association. to be with
out the slightest foundation.
Mr.. Mead said there is no discrimi-
nation against Porto Ricans; that
their living conditions on the planta-
tion are not as described in the pro-
test, and that in his opinion, the
whole thing was gotten up by agi-
tators in Honolulu, headed by a dis
gruntled explanation laborer."
The Porto Rican legislature de-
manded an investigation. and it has
been made, under the direction of At
torney General Harry Irwin of Ha-
waii. with the assistance of the terri
torial health board. A report will
soon be made to Gov. G. j. Mccarthy,
for communication TO Porto Rico.
