MODEL ON AMERICAN CLUBS
France Considering Adoption of Our Methods of Teaching Farming to
 Boys and Girls

France is considering the adoption of Uncle Sam's methods of teaching better farming and home making to boys and girls. Representatives from the French high commission, lately In this country. made point of studying carefully the methods of the federal department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges in conduct ing boys and girls clubs. Much of the information thus collected has been widely reprinted by the French press. accompanied by editorial con- ment expressing the view that, the man or woman power of France hay ing been depleted or disorganized by war service, France for some time to come will be dependent In large part upon its younger population for Its food supply and suggesting the forma- t1On In France of a nation wide system of boys and girls clubs patterned on those in America. It'is expected that these clubs will grow staple products garden produce, wool. farm grain and forage crops. poultry and farm animals on farms not devastated, the very soil of which must first of all be put in condition. They will stimulate production by the young people of France through organized contests not only in farming but in home enter- prlses such as bread making. garment making. cooking and home manage ment.

TOUCHED MEN IN RIGHT SPOT
Y. N. C. A. Camp Secretary Knew the Feeling of Soldiers Gathered to
 Subdue Bloodthirsty Hun.

Wars changes are being shown tn greater degree in the Y. NJ. c. A. ac- tivity. remarks the New York Sun. The psalm-singing official has passed. In his place is the athletic director and entertainer. of red blood. No bet ter example of the metamOrphOsiS could have been had than in an incl dent not long ago at Camp Mills. the great Long Island concentration camp where the men were equipped just be- fore sailing.
 One of the old-style officials was holding a meeting and was expatiating at length on the care the men should take of their souls. His audience, al- ready partly homesick after months of training. was restless and grew glulnmer and glummer.
 The camp secretary watched with dismay the effect the speaker was having on the soldiers about to sail. The climax came when the parson, after final appeal to the men to face death bravely. said:
 I've will now sing Ring the Bells of Heaven.'"
 That was too much for the local camp man and he jumped to his feet, holding up his hand to the man at the pinno to stop. Then he shouted:
 Boys. before we sing this Ring the Bells of Heaven don't let us forget that first we must Wiring the kaiser's damned neck"
 The shout that went up broke up the abaShed parsons meeting and Ring the Bells of Heaven" was in- definitely postponed.

INSOMNIA NOT HERD TO CURE
Easy to Tell the Cause of the Affiic- ton and Remedy. Is Matter of
 Common Sense.

"There are two kinds of insomnia. and each h.'S its cure" q doctor said. -~;-"In the first kind you go to bed ap- parently sleepy. and as soon as your he. q touches the pillow, you become wide awake, and the most vivid and feverish thoughts whirl through your mind for hours. Al last, sick with eX- .austion. you fall asleep, but it's too late then. Too much time has been lost. You rise in the morning nnre- freShed.
 In the second kind of insomnia you go to sleep all right as soon as you go 10 bed. but in an hour or so you wake up. You lie tossing a long while. Yon rise unrefreShed here. too. s ''frhe first kind of insomnia is due to rich, undigeS1ed food etogging the stomach. The remedy Is simpler meals in the evening--nO pork or game or cheese or pastry, but. instead. fish or chicken: whole-rleal bread cuSturds or milk toast.
 "rhe second kind is due to lack of exercise. A daily half-hOur's gymnas tics. followed by a cold bath and a rub down. will drive it permanently away"

 It turned out that she had gone in with her canieen just behind the divi. sion, during that fight wherein Amer lea made good She lacked the narra- tive talent, that girl. but she came out at intervals with flashes like this:
 'When our boys came up the Strag. glerS said to them: You can'r stay in there.' And our boys said: Wen not only stay there. hut we're going forward When the stragglers saw that, they formed. too. and went hacl; with them."

Women of High Ideals.

It has been claimed by some delver into first principles that in the last century the finest type of women were to be found in New England and Vir- ginia. They were of high ideals and lofty principles. They were quiet in manner, pure in spirit, noble and true in all their relations of life--these women who had been so gently reared. and upon whom was bestowed the def erential-though absurd-tltle of Lady.
 They were not taught to think of the ugly things of life. but the beautiful. They were not impressed with the i'm. portance of studying human deprav- ity, but they were imhued with the spirit of noblesse Oblige-they were led to believe that they had been born to high station in life. for which they inns, fit themselves and which station they must ennoble.-New York Even ing Telegraph.

One of the worst features of acid
stomach is that very often it literally
starves it's victims in the midst Of
plenty. And the strange thing
about it is that the people w'th acid
stomachs seldom know what their
trouble really is.
No matter how good or wholesome
the food may be, or how much they
cat. they do not gain in strength.
This is clearly explained by the
fact that an acid-stomach cannot
properly digest food. Instead of
healthy. normal digestion. the excess
acid causes the food to sour and fer
ment. Then when this mass of sour,
fermented food, charged with excess
acid, passes into the intostines, it be-
comes the breeding place for all kinds
Of germs and toxic pOisOns, which IN
turn are absorbed into the blood and
in this way distributed throughout
the entire body. And that is exactly
why it is that SO many thousands OF
people eat and eat and keep on eating
and yet are literally starving In the
midst of plenty. Their acid-stomachs
make it absolutely impossible for
hem to get the full measure or nour-
ishment out of their food. And it
doesn't take long for this poor nour-
ishment to show its i'll effects in 4
weakened, emaciated body.
You may say: my stomach doesn' {
hurt me. =" That may be true because
many victims of acid-stomach do not
actually suffer stomach pains. Then
again, there are millions who do suffer
all kinds of aches and pains-head-
aches, rheumatic twinges, govt, lum-
bago, pains around the heart and in
the chest-who never dream that an
