Lost Arms without Pain.

Our story of a man being, blown
away, unhurt, by the explosion of a
bomb which lie did not hear must
seem incredible to many people. Here
is something like an analogy.
King Edward once brought together
at his dinner table Rus.ee Pasha,
who had had half his right hand and
part of his arm torn off by bear,
and Sir Edward Bradford, who had
had his left arm up to the elbow
munched away by tiger.
The two men compared notes.
Neither had felt the least twinge of
pain at the time. They imagined that
their intense desire to save their lives
dulled all other senses.

DEWS OF EVE No More Gentle Than 'FCascarets" for the
 Liver, Bowels

It is just as needless as it is dan gerous to take violent or nasty ca thartics. Nature provides no shock absorbers for your liver and bowels against calomel, harsh pills, sicken- ing, oil and salts. Cascarets give quick relief without injury from Con- stipation, Bfliousness, Indigestion Gases and Sick Headache. Casca- rets work while you sleep, removing the toxins, poisons and sour, indiges- tible waste without griping or incon- venience. Cascarets regulate by stren gthening the bowel muscles They cost so little too.-Adv.

PROBE STORY OF
 LOST CONTINENT
 IN WESTERN SEA

Honolulu, T. H., Oct. 1O-(Corres- pondence of The Associated Press)- Search for evidence supporting the theory of lost Pacific continent Is being prosecuted in the Hawaiian Islands, the South Seas and along the west coast of South America.
 Professor Douglas R. Campbell of the botany department of Stanford University thinks that in certain specimens of ferns found on the isl and of Hawaii he has established the fact that at some period there was land vonnection between the Ha- watian group and the islands to the souht and west through to the Ma lay peninsula. Professor T. A. Jag gar, Jr., in charge of the federal ob- servatory at Kilauea volcano, agrees with Professor CampbelTs theory, as- serttng that there are geological in dicadons that the islands of the Pa Cific were once connected.

TT some subtle photographer-al-l
chemist could make a composite
photograph OF the American
doughboy as he lives In the heart and
memory of the girlhood of France the
result would be something on which
the coming generations would gaze
with fascination. One can imagine an
American lass gazing on that picture
and signing:
"Ah. he was splendid. my grand
father as a young man No wonder
they loved him!"
How in truth does the girlhood Of
France regard the doughboy7 Would
she prefer to marry him to marrying
a Frenchman; and IL she does, why?
Could the composite picture tell the
story? 1t may be impossible to get
such a composite impression of the
doughboy, but the nearest equivalent
has been achieved, and more than that

the doughboy an appreciated person.

catalogued.
The symbols Of chivalry such as
came down from Crusader times and
such as appear in the graphic notions
OF the Gobelin tapestries are tawdry
and faded to-day. but there Is a funda-
mental notion about chivalry that
will never change. 1t is a factor in
the affairs OF men and women in the
modern world as It was In the ancient
loyalty
The girlhood OF France pronounces
in favor OF the doughboy because of
his loyalty. That is one Of the old
est and most admirable traits by
which the dougboy appears to have
won his place in the heart OF French
girlhood. while some OF the others
are especially the attributes OF men in
the modern world. The doughboy is
also preferred for his frankness. his
good humor, the absence of faulty,
and that trait so strikingly exempli-
lied In the war-comradeship.
