Merely Changed Music.

How bands were once sometimes re-
cruited for the navy is suggested by
nm old tale OF maritime warfare. When
the frlgate United States captured the
British frigate Macedonian, about
hundred years ago, it also captured a
band of eight French, German and
italian musicians. The band had first
put to sea in a French frigate, which
was captured by a Portuguese vessel
ana brought into Lisbon. There the
musicians had been persuaded to en-
list on the Macedonian. After their
capture by the United States one

SYSTEM BUILDER
GIVES STRENGTH

There are many cases OF i'll health In
which there is no organic trouble OF
specific disease and in which a general
tonic or system builder is all that is
needed to restore the health. That
was the experience of Mrs. Christine
Barth. of No. Ola Smith avenue, Can
ton, Ohio, who tells how she recovered
from a general breakdown as follows:
81 had been working hard and had
worried a great deal over relatives who
were in the army. l became very
weak and couldn't keep anything on
mystomach. At times I suffered from
dizzy spells. The weakness increased
until was obliged to take to my bed.
81 tried several remedies but with.
out any Improvement in my condition
and finally my father urged me totake
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. There was 4
decided improvement in my health
alter the first boxs My appetite was
better and was able to sleep sound
" and restfully. I gradually recover
ed my strength and the pains and
aches disappeared. I am now able TO
do my work and feel rs well as ever.

pecially in the lining membranes Of

BRED Great men
Italian City Of Florence May
Claim High Honor.
Birthplace of Many of Thooe Who
Rank, in intellectual Ability and
Achievement, Far Above the
4 Rest Of Mankind.

/ At first thought one would be apt
10 claim for London. the great mctrop-
oils, the honor Of having given birth
TO the greatest number of the worlds
geniuses.
Among other great Londoners the
following might be cited: Francis Ba-
con, philosopher and essayist; Spen-
ser, Jonson. Milton and Keats. world
known and honored poets; Hogarth.
Turner, Watts. Mlllals and Holman
Hunt. artists whose achievements are
acclaimed by all the world Of taste;
Fox. Pitt and Peaconsheld. statesmen
who have Influenced the building Of
empire; Daniel Defoe. the novelist;
Faraday and Huxley. the scientists,
and many others. All these would
stand in the very front ranks Of great
ness, some Of them. like Milton and
Bacon. towering above their fellow
men like mountain peaks among mole
hills.
The Frcnehman would undoubtedly
stand up for the claims Of Paris quot
Ing a long list of poets and painters
and novellsts and statesmen to justify
his boast,
The Italian would probably put the
question: How far bacl; may we &c
In this quest? For Il ancient Rome Is
to be added to the record OF the more
modern city. where win you end her
equal?n
Then Athens would lift up her clas-
sic voice in protest. and quote a long
list OF her sons who have formed the
models of all subsequent time in art
and poetry and philosophy and archi-
lecture.
But there IS another competitor
which can beat them all in this COM
bat. Compared with London or Paris,
or even Rome. it Is a small place.
The city Is Firenze-Florence-the
native city of Savonarola. Of Fra An
gellco. Of Donatello, of Bottieelll, Of
Leonardo da vlncl, Of the mighty MI
chaeI Angelo, the glory Of his age and
OF all succeeding ages; Florence. the
city Of Boccacclo, the father Of novel;
lists; OF Machlayelli. whose very name
is a proverb. and Of the famous Me
dlcI: yes. and lastly, Florence the city
Of Dante the first both In time and
position OF this glorious galaxy OF
stars OF the FIRST magnitude.
How such n sma;. place ever gave
birth 10 so many mighty sons Of
genius IS one Of the standing puzzles
Of heredty and environment and edu
cation Why does rot Glasgow breet
geniuses? Nobody knows. During q
/ period Of two hundred years Florcnc,
was a forcing bed for supreme achieve
ment During that time the little cit'
broke all records, ancient and mod
ern, and II Is hard TO sec where he,
competitor is to spring from who shall
take away her crown Of laurels.

RoIshevIem Not PopuIar.

Bolshevism has not taken great

conservative element. In the few in

mountainous north and east certain
amount &c unrest has developed, In
Kassa FAR eastward. the large mills

Is very bad. rs tits in most of the in

shcvism there would be natural. In
the other industrial districts the work
men seem 10 have taken out their
class-conscituSness in making big dc.
mands upon their employers. Not I'M
usual was IL for workmen to come 20
thek employers and demand that they
receive a percentage of all profits ac-
ciued since the wars beginning. With
ali this discomfort the food situation
is very much involved. The mountain
Gus. which happen to he the Industrial,
districts are mostly very short of food
and clothes. Many factories where
leather and other products of the land
are used function part time, but the
men have not enough 20 keep them
selves and their families in food. In
some localities there are not even
enough potatoes. Hence, as In some
districts Of Bohemia, the trend is to-
