who did, for l got an awful boot that
landed me ten or twelve feet away.
I fell on my hands and knees, and
about a yard away l saw a cigarette
stub. I dived for it like a man falling
on a football, and when I came up
that stub was safely in my pocket.
And it stayed there until I reached
Dulmen and had q chance to light it
behind the barracks. If any Of the
other men had smelled real tobacco,
they would probably have murdered
me, and I could not have blamed them
for it.
That was the first and last cigarette
I got in Germany, and you can be-
lieve me when I say that / enjoyed
1t. There was not much to it, but ]
smoked it until there was not enough
left to hold in my mouth, and then !
used what was left and mixed it with
the bark that we made cigarettes out
Of. incidentally, this bark was great
stuff. I do not know what kind of
tree it was from, but it served the
purpose. Whenever a fellow wanted
to smoke and lit one Of these bark
cigarettes, a few puffs were enough
He did not want to smoke again fol-
some time afterward, and like as not
he did not want to eat either. They
were therefore very valuable.
1t is very hard to get matches II
the camps, and when any prisoner
does get hold Of one, it is made to las
a long time. Here Is how we make {
match last. Some one gives up tht
sleeve of his coat, and the match |:
carefully lit, and the coat sleeve
burned to a crisp. Then we take {
button from our coats-the buttons
are brass with two holes In them
pass a shoestring through the holes
knot the ends, and with the button II
the center Of the string, buzz it arount
as you have seen boys do, with tn
string over both hands, moving tn
hands together and apart until tn
button revolves very fast.
We then put a piece Of flint agains
the cfisped cloth, and buzz the buttol
against it until a spark makes tn
crisp glow, and from this we woul
light our bark cigarettes. I do no
think any man in the world could in
hale one Of these bark cigarettes
some of us tried and went right t
sleep.

kuttur-the Real stun.
Neustrelitz was mainly for Russian
prisoners, and there were neither Brit
fish nor French soldiers interned there
only sailors of the merchant marine
such as the men I was with. The
Russians were given far worse treat
ment than any other prisoners. This
was for two reasons, as near as I could
make out. One was that the Russian
would stand most anything, whereas
the British and French could only be
goaded to a certain point, and beyond
that fay trouble. The other reason
was that the Russians sent German
prisoners to Siberia, oil of least, SO the
Huns thought, and Fritz hates the
cold. so, hating the Russians, and
realizing that they were tsed to be-
fng under-dogs. Fritz picked on them
and buIlIed them In a way that the
rest Of MS would not have stood. We
would haye rushed them and gone
west with bayonets first.
The barracks were made OF spruce,
and were about ninety. feet long and
twenty-five feet wide. and you can
take 1t from me that as carpenters
whoever made them were fine farm
ers There were cracks in them that

Il seemed to get cofde ma colder. We
did not mind It so much. At about
eleven that morning. we arrived at q
place called Minden and saw a prison
camp there-just a stockade near the
tracks with the boys out In the open.
We waved to them, and they waved
back and gave a cheer-oh or two. We
felt sorry for them, because we knew
we were not going to that camp, and
from what little we saw, we knew we
could not be going to a worse place
than they were in. I shnll never for

I was In Germany.
Minden is quite a railway center. I
guess, and when we pulled into the
depot. we saw many troops going to
the. front or coming back. As at all
important German railway stations,
there was a Red Cross booth on the
platform, with German girls handing
out barley coffee and other things to
the German soldiers. I saw a large
shanty on the platform, with a Red
Cross painted over the door. I saw
the girls giving barley coffee to the
soldiers, and I thought I would have
a try at it and at least be polite
enough to give the girls a chance Of
refusing me. I was refused all right.

Cure for tuberculosis Claimed.

An italian physician, Prof. Domenic0

evolved a remedy for consumption.
The base Of his discovery lies in his
finding that sugar apr:.ed to the bron-
chial secretions caused the disappear
ance not only Of the secretons but Of
tubercle bacllll as well. The impor-
lance of this lies in that the bronchial
secretion is held to be q necessary We

Rheumatism?

Those Of as who are past middle aga
are prone to eat too much meat and In
consequence deposit lime-salts in the
arteries, veins and joints. We often
suffer from twinges of rheumatism Oh
lumbago, sometimes from govt, swollen
hands or feet. There is no longer the
slightest need of this, however, as the
new prescription, UAnuric," is bound
to give immediate results as it is many
times more potent than lithia, in Kidding
the impoverished blood of its poisons
by way of the kidneys. 1t can be OBJ
tanned at almost any drug store, by
simply asking for uAnuric" for kidneys
or backache. It will overcome such
conditions as rheumatism, dropsical
swellings, cold extremities, scalding and
burning urine and sleeplessnesa due to
constant arising from bed at night.

prison, or in his attempt to o
the border he would meet with fnnu-
merable difficulties, most of which,
of course, was untrue. These un-
truths were circulated for a purpose
by an element, which, 1t was discov-
cred, had an interest in fomenting
and creating trouble and dlstrust be
tween two peoples whose language
and aims in life should be anything
but of an unfriendly character. The
draft law of the United States, adoptS
ed for the carrying out of the high
| purposes had in view by the United
| States, kept many from going to Can
ada during the period of the war. The
citizen army of the United States
was quickly modified, and contained
a large percentage of the young men
| from the farms. In this way many
were presented from going to Can
ada.
That is all oyer now. There are
no real or imaginary restrictions;
there is no draft law to- interfere.
On the contrary, there is an un-
fashionable depth of good feeling, and
the long-existing friendship Is strong
er than ever. This has been brought
about by the knowledge Of what has
been done in the recent great strug-

giving credit for what was accom-
plished. In thought and feeling, in

desire to build up a new world, there
has been bred a kinship which is as

E.W. WOOL WOR III
lOC STORE
PROMOTER DEAD

New York, April S.-Frank W. Wool
worth, who started q five and ten cent
store at Utica, n. Y. 40 years ago on .
capital of $50 and eventually became
the millionaire proprietor. Of a great
chain OF these stores IN the United
States, Canada and England died sud-
denly today at his home at Glen Cove.
Long Island.
In addition to establishing bust
ness with profits said to be nearly
$4,000. 900 yearly. Mr.. WOODWORK bull:
the celebrated 51-story Woolworth
building in Lower New York. said to
be the tallest in the world.
He was born on farm at Rodman.
Jefferson county. N. r.. on April Is.
1852. Until he was 81 years old he
worked on his fathers farm obtaining
a meager education In the district
school and later at business col
lege. His first position was errand
boy in drygoods store and he grad
ually advanced until he became -
clerk and salesman. during which time
he married on salary OF $3.50 per
week. He worked six years In the
drygoods business in various stores be-
fore a successful bargain counter sale
gave him the idea Of the possibilities
Of making substantial profits <om
nickle and dime purchases.
His idea when preached to his en-
ployers was termed visionary and ne
was advised to stick to the "old fash
ioned,'' plan OF conducting q store.
Nevertheless. Woolworth was determ-
ined to test his plan and his first VEN
ture was at Utica In 1879. He had
only $50 in cash and gave his per-
sonal note for the goods. In year he
had paid off his debt, and saved some
money. Closing out his store he To-
Gated at Lancaster. Pa. and established
not only a store. but the foundation OF
his fortune.
His rapid rise from small pig
con hole store to the palatial Wool
worth building in this city-with
more than 500 branch stores in the
United States. over sixty in Canada
and England-forms one Of the most
business romances In the
history OF the world. The business was
several years ago for $685.
