ANOTHER DOUGHBOY TAKES HIS PLACE
 IN HALL OF FAME
By AuscL,ted Press

Camp Dix, June 26 - Another humble doughboy took his place in the Hall of Fame today in the person of Private Frank Gaffney of the 18th infantry, 18th division, CNew York National Guard)
 Sergeant Alvin York of Pall Mall. Tenn,
 is the only man in the American army credited with a large bag of prisoners than Gaffney The lanky Tennessean brought in 132 Germans, but he had few men to help him round them up, while the New Yorker all alone and suffering from a wound which cost him one of his arms, piloted 80 into the American lines.
 You're the third bravest man the war produced" declared Major General Nc Hale when he pinned the Congressional Medal of Honor upon the breast of the b.ushing Gaffney. Here is the official citation which won the highest military honor the nation can bestow:
 "On September %, at Ransart, when his Lieutenant and sergeant had been killed, Private Gaffney assumed command of the platoon and continued on to the ob- jective, German machine gun nest. Gaffney was the only man to reach the objective. Bravely and skillfully handl- ing a machine gun and hand grenades he
 killed several of the enemy and brought back eighty of them to the American lines"

LITTLE LORD ROBERTS
By Dolly Dalrymple

Father, mother and two brothers," said | the little gentleman. And are there any more at home like you.' I asked "F1ora-dorally." None said Little Lord Roberts. My two brothers are big husky fellows; my mother is the average height and weight, and my father weighs 1N pounds and is very tall. I'm the only little bitty' in the family."'
 You see I'm real midget" Little Lord Roberts said There is a differ ence between midgets and Lilliputians; the former are supposed to be perfectly formed, miniature men and women; while Lilliputians ar dwarfs; usually large ot face and queer of body"
 And tell ne about your sweethearts," ," asked.
 "Oh, I haven't found the real girl yet" he smiled back attractively "I keep an 'ad' in the papers for one most of the time, just for comedy you know"
 But suppose some girl would answer it and present herself for your considera : tion, what would happen?" I asked.
 "I'd shoot myself, he said quickly.
 Before you'd get married?' ~ques- toned.
 "Oh, I don't really mean that" Little Lord Roberts replied. eff the right girl came along I'd be very happy"
 Must she be large or small of stature, fair or dark?" I asked.
 I'm not giving any orders about her." he smiled back adorably. "Fate-Destiny whatever it is-will take care of that;

Splendid Way To
 Reduce Your Weighl

There is perhaps no other thing that so plainly shows the passing of our youth as the horrible tendency to put on too much weight after we have reached the age of 25 or 30 years. How ever young our faces may appear. the sagging, flabby figure and forty inch waist gives us away"
 The cause of this over stoutness is that our stomachs convert the food we eat into fat because there is not enough oxygen in the blood to produce a pro- per combustion to destroy the excess fatty tissue. Fat people will be pleased to learn of simple home method that is wonderfully efficient. in reducing weight, quickly and easily without a starving diet, violent massage or stren- uous exercise. Go to any drug store and get a box of Phynola; take five grains after each meal and at bed time. This from overburdening fat. Phynola taken at meal time assists the stomach in giv- ing you the benefit of the food you eat; at the. same time dissolves the fatty tissue from any part of the body where there is excessive fat, By this method many have reduced their weight a pound day and there is no flabbiness left. Patton-Pope Drug Co. can supply you with the genuine Phynola at a small COSt.-AdV.

 And pray tell me, besides doing the movies what else have you been doing since you were last here?' I asked.
 "Oh-war work most of the time." said the charming little man, his big. gray blue eyes flashing with pride. T enlisted, of course, when war was declared; was accepted and given the rank of 1ieuten- ant, I had four men under me and to- gether we worked all during the war period. Over in Augusta at Camp Han cock I was able to carry to the soldiers some of the very best vaudeville from Atlanta and other southern cities; also later at Chattanooga, at Camp Greenleaf. I secured some splendid vaudeville; all of which was complimentary"
 You see, I've been on the stage quito long enough to have few friends" Lit tie Lord Roberts told me, "and so It wasn't hard for me to secure good at- fractions for the soldier men. Up in Chi cago, where I came from"

When undertaking 20 write the
life OF Abraham Lincoln. which she
finished in 1900, she gathered much
Of her original data from old neigh
bors OF his who unconsciously gave
a special flavor TO their reminiscen-
ces by their inability TO comprehend
his expansion into q great historic
figure.
Studies Tariff Law.
Next her own early recollections
Of the oil fields came into play and
her knowledge of the modes OF self
promotion set her TO study the
American protective tariff laws.
When her name was mentioned
in connection with an appointment
10 the tariff commission there were
many who wondered. During the
asst generation women had been
conspicuous on charitable boards
and committees, and in educational
and sanitary correctional enterprises
but here was a field into which
they had not ventured before except
for purposes of protest against ex-
orbitant duties on millinery and
wearing apparel.
After the history OF the Standard
oil company in two volumes in 1904
she wrote HE Knew Lincoln" 1907;
Father Abraham" 1909; THE Tar
If in Our Times" 1911; The Bust
ness of Being a Woman" 1912;
The Ways Of Women" 1915; New
Ideals in Business" 1915, and many
magazine articles in history and cur
rent events and short stories
Miss Tarbells "defniteness" is a
noticeable Characteristic OF her
writing. Her appearance also speaks
this quality. She is OF good height
and slender with a face well bal
anced in features and thoroughly
feminine in cast. There is said 10 be
about her though, not the slight
est suggestion Of opiniOnation. Her
broad charity forbids her confusing
men and things and her views on
most public matters are positive TO
q degree.
