"A Living Monument to
Our Dead Heroes

Memorials in cold stone with their
categorical figures are not enough to
perpetuate the memory of our dead
who lie in France. At least that is
the belief of the citizens of Clarinda,
Iowa, who on Memorial Day con-
1rtbMted a fund toward a living mon
mment. Twenty-one French war or
iprhans made UP that living monument,
sone fatherless child for every C1ar.
linda boy who gave his life for the
4cause of humanity. The public spir-
tilted men and women of that town
wild care for these little French or
phans with this fund, paying for their
support through the American branch
of the Fatherless Children of France,
ian organization cooperating with a
similar one which Marshal Joffre
is head, to care for the little French
schIidren left fatherless through the
havoc OF war.
There are $4,000 French war or
phans still unplactd on the list of the
American organization. Three dol
lars q month, or ten cents a day, will
support one Of these children. The
oC1arfnda citizens have paid for each
schiIa adopted" $3.50 for a years
support. with the intention of repeat
ling the sum annually until the child is
capable of caring for itself. This
small sum supplements an equal
amount paid annually by the French
government to each war orphan and,
tiny though it is, provides for the
schild's support.
Nm its reconstruction work, France
has wisely conferred its greatest eff
forts on the care Of its war orphans,
and "The Fatherless Children of
France" recognized that these little
victims of the war shopld be the
wards OF a world made safe through

their fathers sacrifice undertook,
early in the war, to furnish god
mothers and godfathers for these
children-American godparents who
would contribute ten cents a day
toward their support that they might
remain with their mothers instead of
being placed in institutions, and who
would, besides this, write to the little
ones to whom they have become ben
efactors. Donations of any sum

ables one to select as ones protege

Perfumes and
Lotions Drank

San Juan, July 23.-Efforts are
being made by the Porto Rican author
tiles to check the use as beverages
of tonics, perfumes and cher lotions
containing alcohol The Insular Treas
urer, Jose C. Benedicto and DIR. del
Vale Sarraga of the health depart
ment, recently asked the house of rep
resentatives to enact legislation to
prevent the use of such c~oncoctions
as intoxicating drinks.
Mr.. Benedieto poined out that it
vas legally permissible to use alco-
hol for industrial purposes, under GER
tain regulations, so that any individ-
ual could prepare a formula, have it
approved by the treasurer and health
department and sell it freely through
out the island. Theoretically these
preparations were not for internal
consumption and were harmful to the
health, but in practice it had been
found that they were being drunk in
alarming quantities, he said. Their
sale could not very well be stopped as
they were permitted by law.
Before prohibition went in force
here" said Mr.. Benedicto, "the al
cohol used for industrial purposes in
Porto Rico amounted between 1000
and 5000 quarts a month, whereas dur
ing last March no less than 5000
quarts were used and in April, 5000
quarts"
There were two methods for deal
ing with the question through the
legislature, said MI. Benedicto. Either
by Selling all these preparations
which were being used as a drink
although manufactured under insLlar
permits, or by increasing the quarterly
license to manufacturers to 5000 in
stead Of SIS now being proposed,
which would enable only the larger
firms to manufacture such prepare
lions and would take them out of the
reach Of the general public.
DR.. del Vale informed the house of
the measures which had already been
adopted to prevent the use of such
tonics for drinking purposes. At first,
he said wood alcohol had bee nintro-
duced into these preparations, but in
view of the terrible effects it produc-
ed, this had been stopped, for they
would simply be leading those people
who drank the preparations into total
blindness. The other chemicals which
had been introduced in order to make
the lotions to the stomach,
had not been very successful, for
means had been found by the people of
filtering the liquids and otherwise get
ting rid Of such ingredients.
1t is asserted although absolute pro-
hibition has been enforced in the isl
and for a year, the police daily are dis
covering stills for the distillation of
alcohol.

THE JOY OF LIVING

To enjoy life we must have good
health. No al reasonably hope
to get much real pleasure out OF life
when his bowels are clogged a good
share of the time and the poisons that
should be expelled are absorbed into
the system, producing headache and
indigestion. A few doses of Chamber
lains Tablets will move the bowels,
strengthen the digestion and give
you a chance to realize the real joy Of
living. Try it.

INSECTS TAKE BIG TOLL

Insects in the United States eat
$1,000, 0OO, 600 worth of food annually,
according to department of agriculture
figures. This amount is lost each year
because of insect depredations on va
rious farm crops and fruits.
In addition to crop losses there is a
large loss of live stock from such pests
as biting flies, parasite flies, ticks,
mites and other insects.
