SAVE MONEY ON
SHOES FOR THE
WHOLE FAMILY

From Foochow, China, comes this
letter from r. f. Gardner, Foochow
College: "Neolin Soles have solved the
shoe problem for me. Other soles wore
out quickly on the rocky roads here.
and / had no end OF trouble with
them" he writes.
Where other soles fail, Ne0lin Soles
always stand the test of hard wear and
rough usage. This fact points the way
to economy. Buy Neolin-soled shoes
for The whole family, and SO save shoe
money. And have Neolin Soles put on
your old shoes, too.
These durable, flexible, and water
proof soles are scientifically made by
The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co,
Akron, Ohio. who also make Wingfoot
Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other
heels.

PROPOSALS MAY BE MADE.
Is German Interpretation of Premier Gle
menceau's Statement.

Berlin, May II (Via Copenhagen
The semi official Wolff bureau last night
issued statement that the reply of
Premier Clemenceau TO the note of the
German peace delegation regarding the
peace treaty, although it seems to reject
discussion, implies renewed adher.
ence to the agreement of October and
November, 1918, (armistice?l and hints
that practical proposals may be made for
negotiations on the draft"
The statement adds: THAT such ne
gotiations are contemplated appears
from the fact that the allies on Saturday
asked for several printed copies of the
German proposals on the league of ma
tions and the labor charter. Premier Gle
menceau's reply to the German note on
the league Of nations evades the central
point of the question.

SIS BY AIR TO PARIS
Tickets for Trip Now on Sale in
London.
Use Bombing Machines for Passengers
Until New Designs Are
Produced.

London.-Tickets are now being sold
at $75 each for jOurney-byai rplane to
Paris, passenger service starting as
soon as circumstances permit. The
journey by air will be done in two and
one-half hours, the distance being 24O
miles. Holt Thomas, of the Aircraft
Manufacturing company, is backing
the enterprise, which is expected to
find favor among tourists and business
people. During the war many public
officials have flown from London to
Paris. Bonar Law prefers to go that
way. Allowing a half hour p either
end of the journey to get to and from
the airdromes, the entire journey will
require but three and one-half hours.
Until new designs are produced
bombing machines which can carry
load of $3.50 pounds, travel 1913 miles
an hour and climb 5000 feet in five
minutes will be used. Experiments
have shown that by covering the
fuselage with glass passengers can con-
verse readily, the roar of the engines
being minimized. Thomas hopes to re-
duce the one-way fare to $50 within a
few months.

PLAN TO USE Ignite COAL
Coal Deposits of Saskatchewan to Be
Utilized to Supply Electric
Light and Power.

Estevan, Sask.-Plans are definite
ly under way to utilize the Ignite coal
deposits of Saskatchewan to supply
electric light and power to the cities
Of Regina, Moose Jaw, Stevan, Wey-
burn and intervening towns. Several
Of the municipalities already have ap-
pointed delegates to convention
which soon is to be held. The plant
is to be erected in Estevan. The
Canadian government will be asked
to guarantee the bonds of the devel'
opment project and each city will be-
come responsible for fixed proper
ton Of the bond issue.
The Saskatchewan Ignite fields are
practically inexhaustible, but the coal
is low grade. The steam boiler meth
cd is therefore not adapted to the
work, and it is proposed instead to
use a suction gas producer. S. G.
Dethbridge, city engineer, in report
to the Estevan chamber of commerce,
estimates the power plant will cost
$1,620,O00 and the power line $4,643
a mile, or $685., TAO for the entire $50
miles of it's length.

IRISHMEN SAVED THE DAY
Famous New York Infantry Regiment
Did Great Work at Champagne
Took Terrible To.! Of Death
From Enemy.

New York.-Over the rail of the
hospital transport Sierra as it came
in one day recently leaned Roy Davis
of Chicago. He was a soldier or the
One Hundred and Forty-ninth artll-
lery, formerly the First Illinois, IN
command Of II. j. Reilly. He yelled
down to those on the police boat:
"Tell the people Of New York the
old Sixty-ninth Ga famous Irish infan-
try regiment in the New York Nation

Sixty-fifth, a part of the Rainbow d.

Dagne. The people of France are
wildly enthusiastic over the One Hun
dred and Sixty-ffth, and, believe me-
they have reason to be.
eve followed the Sixty-ninth up at
the battle Of Champagne, laying down
their barrage for them. 1t got hot as
hell behind those boys and then not
ter and it was just as bad in front.
THE Poilus started to go back and
yelled to the One Hundred and Sixty
fifth to turn and follow them.
""To hell with that! yelled back
the Sixty-ninth. We're going right
on And, believe me, they went right
on and saved the day.
Exacted Terrible Cost.
"The gray-green uniforms streWed
the ground in front of the Irish posi-
lions. One walked on carpet OF
dead bodies after the attack was
hurled back. The Sixty-ninth was cut
ND, but they exacted terrible cost
from the Boche."
It was of the One Hundred and For
ty-ninth field artillery that captured
German said:
"Let me see those men who are be-
hind those guns. | never saw such a
perfect barrage in all my life"
One of the most popular officers on
the transport was the Rev. Ray +.
Jenney, the fighting chaplain of De-
catur, ILL.,, who had four wound stripes
on his sleeve. When al the officers
of company in his regiment had been
shot down in the big drive at st. Mi
hiel he led the men on and brought
back trophy in the shape of silver
mounted Luger pistol that he took
from a German commander when his
company smashed up machine gun.
Bear Distinguishes Himself.
Among those wearing the CrOix de
Guerre was Lieut.. J. Sanford Bear of
Illinois of the Thirty-ninth infantry.
He is twenty-five years old. On July
27 he distinguished himself in novel
manner. 1t was before Chateau-Thier-
ry and a group of officers in French
uniforms on the opposite bank of the
Vesle were believed to be Germans
in disguise. 1t was to find out if the
officers who pretended to be French
were really so that Bear volunteered
to swim the Vesle and make close OBJ
ServatiOn on the other shore.
Whether they were friends or foes
Bear was exposed to the machine-gun
fire of the enemy while swimming, but
he carried through his mission sue
cessfully, found that the French uni
forms were but DISCUSSES, and so per-
mitted the fire from the American side
to be conferred upon the enemy posi-
lions. For this he won the cross.

When you are troubled with indiges'

it to perform it's functions naturally. Indiges-
ton is usually accompanied by constipation
and is aggravated by it. Chamberlafn's Tab
lets cause gentle movement of the bowels, re-
lievipg the constipated condition.

Custom Had Origin Long Ago.

The almost universal habit of turn
ing aside the head and suppressing
the sneeze or cough has an interesting
origin. It is derived from human ex-
perience. In the middle ages (and
probably much earlier), when frequent
plaques of various diseases swept
away whole populations in Europe, it
was suspected and even believed that
Infection was conveyed by coughing
and sneezing. Hence the adoption on
the precaution.
