cpeCtuC Correspondence
LONDON, April 1.-THE transfer OF
Lorraine to its former allegiance opens
up industrial possibilities for France
compared with which the political sig
nltcance of the restitution seems quite
a secondary matter Possessed of the
Lorraine iron ore fields and the nuer-
ous up-todate works contained in the
province, there is no valid reason why
France, in the course of few years,
should not attain the premier position
among the countries of Europe in
trade and industry, providing, of
course, that she can command the
necessary capital. credit and labor No
European rival. at any rate, will be SO
rich in the raw materials of the iron
and steel trade.
Before the war Germany was pro
ducing 100000 tons of pig-iron an
nually, Great Britain 100000 tons
than half the German output was OBJ
tanned from Lorraine ores the cession
of those increases the French pig-iroA
capacity to 100000 tons, and leaves
Germany somewhat below that of the
United Kingdom. In the future, there
fore, as the chief European competitor
of the British iron and steel trade,
France is likely to change places with
Germany, Some years must. of course.
eapse before France can heal the ter
rlblc wounds which the war has in
fitted upon hor economic. position.
even when full allowance ia made for
the wonderful genius of her people
for adapting themselves quickly to
the most drastic changes of conditions,
but II should be born in mind that
Lorraine has been outside the war zone
and that its works and factories are
virtually intact, Perhaps the most
awkward problems with which France
is faced in an Industrial sense relate
to coal and labor.
Even when her damaged mines are
restored to their normal activity the
country will be unable to furnish
to keep Lorraine iron works going
fully, and it will probably be found
necessary to import supplies from
Germany, while, owing to the heavy
reduction of the male population
through the war, there must be a pro-
nounced shortage of labor for years
unless workmen are imported from
Eastern Europe.

SCHOOLS TO CELEBRATE Ma.
TT0NAL CONSTITUTION DAY

The celebration of September II as
National Constitution Day in city
and county schools throughout the
State is urged in letters sent out by
]. Virgil Chapman, member for Ken
lucky of the National Security
League. The campaign against un-
American radicalism was begun sew
eral weeks ago by the league in asso-
citation with other leading patriotic
associations of the country.
Superintendent J. W. Ireland, of
Frankfort, who was named chairman
Of the city superintendents in the
Seventh Congressional District, and
e. S. Land, Of Irvine, chairman of
county superintendents, will aid Mr..
Chapman in having school children
get an appreciation Of the constitu'
ton as an anti6ote for the menace of
radicalism.
Lawyers, ministers and men &C
customed to public speaking are ask
ed to VOLUNTEER TO county or city
superintendent for service, and
bulletins containing suggestions for
programs of observance Of Constitu-
ton Day have been sent out from
headquarters.
Each city and town in the State is
asked to observe the day in addition
posed to have in the school. Sugges-
tions for exercises and speakers will
furnished by representatives of the
league, and patriotic societies viii
cooperate.

MAYBE THIS WILL HIT PARIS
SOON.

Broadway, New York, has been hit
by a new plague-prohlbitlo hlves.
Doctors blame them on prohibition,
claiming excess of citrus acid in lem
onade is no doubt responsible. In
the old days men slaked their, thirst
on hot day with beer, julep or a
long Tom Collins-now they drink
lemonade. AS a result it is not un-
usual to see some dignified gentle
man suddenly stop, back up against
a post and do setting up exercise.
One effect of the late war that made
the world safe for the late democ-
racy was to train our young Ameri-
can manhood to scratch. Now the
old and young are scratching on
Broadway. "A hive victim dashed
into the foyer of hotel the other
day, grabbed cactus plant and ran
out scratching his back with 1T. And
you can see thousand Broadwayites
any day standing with one arm
across their chest in a Napoleonic
fashion. Gather up closely and one
finds they are scratching.

MILL FEED PRICE RISES TO
BOOST II. G.. L.

An increase in the price of eggs,
butter and milk is presaged by the
twenty-five cent increase in the price
of mill feed, which took effect Satur-
day, according to prominent farmer
in this section. Corn and wheat feed
is now selling at So on the hundred
pounds, and is the cheapest feed
available for chickens and stock, he
said.
The fact that the principal food
for dairy stock now costs $50 a ton,
which could once be bought for $15,
is certain to raise the price of milk
and butter, ne said. Last year mill
feed could be bought for $1.35; it
was later Increased to $3.50, and for
time before the increase of Satur-
day sold for $2.75.
Unless there is very late autumn
season, very good rains will not save
the crops, in the opinion of farmers
who see more and more hard times
for themselves in the increasing ex
pense of stock feed.

prevail. It's the same everywhere.
$4,000 American men and women are
publicly recommending Doan's-al-
ways in the home papers. Isn't it a
wonderful, convincing mass Of proof ?
If you are a sufferer your verdict
must be '"Try Doan's first"
Here's one more Paris case.
VIM. W. Dudley, 1923 Cypress ST.,
says: Some years ago I found it
necessary to use kidney remedy and
as / had read about Doan's Kidney
Pills, i used them. They proved to
be satisfactory and permanently rid
me of the complaint. I have good
reason to recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills and advise their use to anyone
troubled with a weak and lame back
or irregular passages Of the kidney

LUKE McLUKE FORMING GAG
BUG SYNDICATE

(Luke McLuke, In Cincinnati En-
quirer)
The Jag Bug Syndicate is now in
process of formation and you should
get in on the ground floor while
shares are to be had This is the
greatest money-making plan ever
conceived, and our. shareholders will
all be Jmillionaires within a few
months. The Jag Bug is an insect
found in Curacao The bite of this
insect has a peculiar effect on the
human system. 1t produces the same
effect as drink of whisky. A half
dozen bites affords nice genteel
bun. There is nothing in the Prohi-
bition law prohibiting the importa-
| ton or use of the Jag Bug. This
syndicate will ship a load of Jag
Bugs to this country and breed the
Jag Bugs for selling purposes. 1t will
/! cost ten cents to export a healthy
pair of Jag Bugs to this country and
breed them. The offspring will
bring any price we demand, say $40
each. Any man with $40 can buy a
Jag Bug and let the insect bite him
| when he gets up in the morning.
The effect is the same as an "eye-
opener" Before dinner he can let
the Jag Bug bite him, and the effect
will be the same as a cocktail. Any
time the man needs a little pep he
can let his Jag Bug take bite.
And, if he desires mild jag, he can
let the Jag Bug bite him several
times. Think of the possibilities!
The Jag Bug has solved the Prohibi-
ton Problem! Every household will
have a Jag Bug! What is home with
out Jag Bug! An empty cellar will
have no terrors with Jag Bug on
the premises. Buy your stock now
before it is too late! Stock is now
selling at 500 a share! 1t will soon
be worth 100000 a share! Oppor-
ltunity is knocking! Open the door
and the way to fortune! Buy stock
Inow!

BILL" SCHOOLER ON THE
ANXIOUS SEAT.

Uncle Bill Schooler, now editor
and publisher Of the Commonwealth,
a weekly paper published at Somer-
set, KY, frankly tells his readers in
a recent issue that he is undecided
whether to continue the harassed ex-
istence of country publisher or take
to the open road as a common tramp.
His conclusions are set down in an
editorial in which he tells an ''un-
appreciative public" that if he never
writes another line for his paper they
can draw their own conclusions as to
what happened. Regarding a tramp
he met on the "open highway" he
writes:

take bath unless he wants to. He
can be his own lazy, independent
