"Round Robin"

A "round robin" consists of a paper
containing a petition, protest, COM
plant, or congratulations around which
the names of the signers are written
in a circle so as to avoid giving prom
inence to any single name, and so
that no name heads the list. The term
has been found In Coverdale's preface
to his translation Of Calvin's Tract
on the Lords Supper" dated 1916, but
1t is there used by "scurrilous Prot
e~stants" as a term of reproach for the
ciborium or pyx. Brewer claimed the
term to be a corruption of the French
"rond" (round) "ruban' (ribbon). APP
piled 10 persons. the term designated
IA religious or political brawler." 1t
was used In this sense by Hacket In
his Life of Archbishop Williams
(1692) +: "These Wat Tylers and Round
Robins being driven or persuaded out
Of Whitehall" The modern round
robin is said to have originated with
sailors who used the method in trying
to secure redress of their grievances.
and a record of this is to be found In
"The Gentleman's Magazine" Il. 1881
dated 1871.

III Thin and NERVOUS,
TRY PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate to
Put on Firm. Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength. Vigor
and Nerve Force.

When one stops to consider the host OF
him people who are searching continually
for some method by which they may in
crease their flesh to normal proportions by
on of protruding angles with the attend
ant bloom of health and attractiveness. 1t
Is no wonder that many and varied sug-
yestions along this line appear from time to
time in public print.
While excessive thinness might be at
different individuals 1t is a wel-known fact
that the lack of sufficient PHOSPHORUS in
the human system is very largely respon-
sible for this condition. Experiments on
humans and animals by many scientists
have demonstrated beyond question of
doubt that a body deficieEt in phosphorous
becomes nervous. sickly and thin: a noted
author and professor in his book. Chem
istry and Food Nutrition" published In 1918,
says: "~ . that the amount of phos-
Of man is seriously underestimate in many
Of our standard text books"
1t seems to be well established that this
deficiency in PHOSPHORUS may now be met
by the use of an organic phosphate known
throughout English speaking countries as
of this phosphate by the nerve tissue the
phosphoric content when absorbed in the
amount normally required by nature soon
produces a welcome change in our body and
mind. Nerve tension disappears. vigor and
strength replace weakness and lack of ener-
hollows and abrupt angles, becoming envel-
oped in a glow of perfect health and beauty
and the will and strength to be up and
doing.

eral debility, etc, those taking 1t who do
not desire to put on flesh should use extra
care in avoiding fat-producing foods.

BY EDWARD w. PIckARD.

Spurred on by the welcome, If long
delayed action of the chief executive,
all available forces of the federal gov
eminent are devoting themselves to
the task of reducing the cost of liv-
ing, and they are receiving the en-
thusiastic cooperation of state and
municipal bodies and officials all over
the country.
Attorney General Palmer sent out
instructions n authority to confiscate
at nee boarded food stocks, and large
quantities of foodstuffs in warehouses
We're seized in Chattanooga. Tampa,
Jacksonville. Fla; Fort Sam Houston,
Tex, and other places. In every case,
according to Mr.. Palmer's Instructions,
the names of the hoarders and the
amounts of food seized were made pub
lie, for it was thought the publicity
would result in the immediate release
of excessive amounts of foodstuffs
that have been withheld from con-
sumption. The attorney general CEN
tered his attention especially on Chi
csgo not only because 1t Is the great
est food storage center of the world,
but because he had learned the spec
ulators there had been particularly and
perniciously active. The Chicago
packers, naturally, are the chief tar
gets, because they are alleged to be
in control of the co~ld-storage business,
not only there but all over the coun-
try. This they deny. Senator Nickel
lar has introduced a bill for federal
regulation of cold-storage plants and
in supporting it he told Of the vast
amounts of poultry, eggs and butter
in storage and of the apparent exorbi-
tant profits made on those commodi-
ties by some middlemen. Louis Swift
says he has been and Is in favor of
regulation of storage methods; and
President Horn of the American Re
frigerating association asserts his or
ganization would not object to reason-
able regulatory measures, but that
most of the suggested plans are too
drastic.
, The governments fight against the
sugar hoarders also centered in Chi
cago, and the first test Ease is that
against the officials of the Central Su-
gar company who were arrested a
week or more ago. Henry II. Rolapp,
head of the sugar distribution COM
mittee of the food administration, said
the situation was serious, as canners
and dealers were clamoring in vain
for sugar. The railway shopmen's
strike entered into this, as 20,000.000
pounds of sugar was delayed in Cali
fornia by lack of cars. Mr.. Rolapp
said that in a few days the arrival of
cane sugar from New Orleans and beet
sugar from the West would flood the
market.
The entire food crusade had Its ef-
feet on retail prices, in some instances
only slight and in others, notably po-
tatoes, very marked. The federal
agents intend to go after the retail
grocers and butchers for profiteering,
as well as after the bigger game, and
before long the suffering consumer
may get relief that will actually affect
his bank roll.
In Boston a grand jury investigation
ELECTED the rather surprising informa-
tion that the American people demand
lhoes of high grade and high price and
scorn the cheaper grades, of which the
manufacturers say they nave large
stocks. In a way this is borne out by
the statement of a Berlin paper that
American shoe dealers are making

81 international building trades unions
began planning for a national strike
because of a dispute there between two
unions of plasterers.
Considerable uneasiness, not to say
anxiety, was caused in the capitals
of the allied nations by the news that
the Kolchak government of western
Siberia was ION the run If not quite
collapsed. The bolshevik armies
gained repeated victories wei KOl-
chak's forces, and at last reports the
latter were hastily moving eastward.
The admiral's plight was laid to short
e of guns and ammunition. and large
supplies of both were dispatched to
him from the United States by way of
the Pacific ocean. Whether they would
reach him in time to save his troops
from disaster vas uncertain.
Better news came from both north
and south Russia. On the Dvina a
force of British and Russians de-
stroyet six battalions of bolsheviki,
taking 1000 prisoners and many guns
and advancing its front IL miles. In
Volhynia the Ukrainians have taken
the railway inter of Lutsk and the
fortress of Dubno. and the ~bolsheviki
also abandoned the important city Of
Vinnitza in the Ukraine. General Dem
ikine's armies were making steady
progress toward Odessa and at the
northwest corner of the Black sea
they were only 80 miles from a juno
ton with the Roumanian forces.
The Ronmanians who 1%occupied
Budapest were a stubborn lot and
fatty refused to take orders from the
allied commission there and get out
again, declaring they would remain
until a stable government was estab-
lished. The peace council at Paris
was a bit flabbergasted and feared
that If Roumania We're permitted to
defy its orders, Germany and other
enemy countries might be encouraged
to do likewise. Thu Roumanians
threatened that If they were forced to
withdraw they would strip Hungary OF
everything portable, and indeed they
are said to be doing that now. Their
representatives in Budapest said the
only policy for Hungary was union

Discharged Men
 Wear Stripe

New ork, April 2S.-Hundreds of discharged officers of the army and numbers of enlisted men, are unconsGiously laying themselves op- en to rins and Imprisonment by wearing uniforms, after ddschargl without the red chevron on the left sleeve. according to orders from the war department received yester- day by Lieut.. Colonel c. R, Ben nett, assistant recruiting officer.
 This order stated that the cheY- ron must be worn on the uniform by officers and men after discharge, Few officers have been meeting with this requirement., it is said, because the original order allowing men to wear uniforms after discharge was not construed to apply to officers wherein it prescribed the wearing of the red chevron.
 In connection with the announce ment of the order, Colonel Bennett urged all former service men to talk care Of their uniforms. Many mn are simply wearing out their uni-- forms," be said, This tendency may have been due to the original order that uniforms could be worn only three months after discharge and then had 10 be returned to the gov- ernment, But now the men know that they are allowed to keep the uniforms. If the uniforms are gon the men will find themselves might
 fly put out some time in the future when they want them badly. I hay even been petitioned by the mayor Of one town to protest against the lack Of care given uniforms by dis charged men, owing to the fact that In this town & acelebration was etV- en returned soldiers, and the offic- als feared that already many men would pot have untforma it to wear" ..-.

SIDNEY E. MANNING,

SIDNEY E. MANNING,
 Corporal, co.No, 1s7th Infantry.
 Corporal Manning received the Distinguished Service Cross for conspicuous gallantry near Breuyannes, France, July 28, 1918. Corporal Manning was in charge of an automatic rifle squad during an assault by his battalion on the. strongly forti- fled heights overlooking the Ourcq river for the purpose of exploiting the successful pas sage of the stream. During the advance on the hill his platoon commander was killed and just as the crest was reached the platoon sergeant was wounded, Corporal Manning then assumed command of the platoon, which was near the center of the as- saulting line and was meet ing with desperate resistance. Though he himself was severely wounded and was the only sur yivor of his squad, this soldier led forward the 35 effectiyes re- maining in the platoon against an enemy strong point which was wired, intrenched and de- tended by machine guns and dominated the entire OurcQ val ley. He was repeatedly wound ed, but he succeeded, in getting a foothold at this strong point with but seven men remaining with him. While the latter con. solidated their position under his direction, with the platoon on the flank, he held off con siderable number of the enemy 50 yards away by fire from his automatic rife. He remained in this position until the entire line had been consolidated, when he crawled back to shelter, hay ing received nine wounds. Mrs. Lizzie Manning, his mother, lives in Flomatin, Ala.
