one the fact that Il Is sponsored by

BY CAPT. ROBERT J. CASEY,
In the Chicago Journal.

Gosseldange, Luxembourg. = General
Bell is president of Graustark now.
His division-to which we have final
ly become attached-is living amid a
Kaleidoscope of international spies,
mysterious men with black boards,
revolutionists, conspirators, counter
conspirators and beautiful princesses.
All day long the white highways are
filled with dashing couriers. All night
long vigilance committees lie awake
trying to figure out what new plan of
government to start off the next day
with. It is certainly strange situation
for a poor, guileless lot of Infantry
and artillery.
1t isn't officially set down in the rec
ords that the general is the last word
hereabouts, but no one-even the most
ardent revolutionary leader-fails to
admit that his is the only constituted
authority. So long as he continues to
sit VA state at die kirche the plotters
don't get much of chance to raise
disturbance.
The Storm Breaks.
The storm broke in the teapot the
day Battery F, 124th field artillery,
arrived here after the long march from
the Mouse.
We were just turning across the
River Alzette when purple limousine
all trimmed with gold and displaying
a brace of silver braided admirals in
the front seat came down the Luxem-
bourg City highway and frightened the
guidon's mule into Mysteries. The bat
terry was called to attention and sa-
lutes were exchanged before it was
realized that the beautiful Marie AIDE
laide, grand duchess of Luxembourg and
royel princess by her own right, had
Just passed. Not knowing anything
about local politics we couldn't guess
that something had gone wrong.
That night, however, a bulletin was
tackled to the door Of the schoolhouSe

Misunderstanding in French and Ger
man that Marie Adelaide had abdicated
In favor of her sister, Charlotte, and
that if the populace would try to keep
calm, the government would try to con-

SAGE TEA BEAUTIFIES
AND DARKENS HAIR
DOME Stay Gray! It Darkens So
Naturally that Nobody
can Tell.

You can turn gray, faded hair beau
tifully dark and lustrous almost over
night if you'll get bottle of 'Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound" at any
drug store. Millions Of bottles of this
old famous Sage Tea Recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
are sold annually, says a well-known
druggist here, because it darkens the
hair so naturally and evenly that no
one can tell it has been applied.
Those whose hair is turning gray or
becoming faded have surprise await
Ing them, because after one or two
applications the gray hair vanishes
and your locks become luxuriantly
dark and beautiful.
This is the age Of youth. Gray
haired, unattractive folks aren't
wanted around, so get busy with

tonight and you'll be delighted with
your dark, handsome hair and your

lar idol in Luxembourg prior to the war.
There is legend connected with her
attitude toward the advancing Prus-
slams that once was current and cred
tied in oil parts of the duchy. Accord
ing to this story, the grand duchess
was shocked when the Germans re-
fused to respect, the neutrality of her
country. Luxemburg's army on paper
consisted of $50 mer and actually mus
tered some 70 sturdy troopers.
The minister of war naturally fig
ured that he didn't have much Of a
chance in opposing Germany, so the
princess undertook moral suasion. She
drove out to the border and lay down
across the road and uttered the SEN
tence famous for a time throughout
the duchy: "You dare not pass"
Duchess Was Misinformed.
But, alas for the proper climax of
the story, the beautiful Adelaide had
been misinformed. They did dare to
pass.
A couple of brawny hussars picked
the princess up, deposited her along
side the road and executed neat for

generals dined at the princess palace

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
VINO are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
it's remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper-Adv.

SHE BOOSTS CASTRO

Juarez, Mexico.-Mexico is as mod

gustin Castro, the new commander in
chief of the northeastern military
zone, not only has a woman press
agent but pretty one, to see that the
generals campaign against the Villa
forces receives proper attention from
the Mexican and American border
newspapers.
She is Senorita Teresa Rodriguez,
daughter of prominent Mexican poll
tician of Mexico City, who came north
soon after General Castro was re-
lieved from active duties as subsec-
rotary of war to conduct campaign
against the bandits of the north. Sc
norita Rodriguez does not speak
word of English, but she succeeded In
having her photograph and sketch
Of General Castro printed In all the
American border papers as soon as
she arrived from Chihuahua City to
begin her publicity campaign for the
Mexican commander.

was the political persuasion of the
populace during the four years that
followed. Luxembourg seems to have
been favored at the hands of the Hun
that is, so far as Hun hands ever
favored anybody but the Hun. There
was little of the CONSUMPTION of food
stuffs and farming materials as prac-
ticed in Belgium and France. Luxem-
burg was preserved as market In
which the rich folk Of the kaiser's en-
pire might purchase the delicacies that
war regulation had deprived them OF

However gently the willy Hun may
have treated Luxembourg on his first
trip into France, pro-Germanism is an
unpopular vice in this county just now.

Weekly Health Talks
A Single Remedy Often Cures
Many Diseases
BY VALENTINE MOTT, NJ. ..

It is almost impossible to give list Of
the endless diseases that follow indigestion.
Perhaps a whole column in this newspa-
per would be required to print them all.
You eat to keep alive-to supply blood and
flesh and bone and muscle and brain. 1t
is easy to see that if your food is not di-
gested and taken up by the delicate or
gans and distributed where it is needed,
disease of some sort is sure to come. Dys-
pepsia is a common symptom, and so are
liver complaint, loss of flesh, nervousness,
bad memory, dizziness, sleeplessness, no
appetite. Many times, when neglected, in
digestion results in coughs, throat diseases,
catarrh, bronchitis and even more danger
Gus things. And all these disorders arise
because the food is not properly digested
in the stomach. It is plain even to a
child thaG relief and cure are to be had
only by setting up healthy condition in
the stomach. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.
Y, many years ago combined a number
OF vegetable growths into a temperance
remedy for indigestion, and called it
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t is probably
the most efficacious discovery ever made
In medicine, for the list of people all over
the world who have had their countless ills
overcome by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery makes an amazing total of thou
sands.
l know of no advice better than this:
Begin home treatment today with this
good vegetable medicine. It will show
you better than I can tell you what it will
do. When taking Golden Medical Dis
covery, you can rest assured of one very
important thing-it contains neither alco-
hol nor opiates. There is nothing in it
but standard roots and herbs that possess
curative properties of high order. A
safe medicine is the only kind you can
afford to take.
