SPLENDID BATON FOR FOCH
Most Costly Ever Presented Even to
the Long List Of His Distin-
guished Predecessors.

Ferdinand Foch, marshal Of France,
will soon be the recipient Of the most
expensive baton ever presented to
marshal OF France. At the base Of the
baton, which is 201s inches long, are
embossed in gold the names of Mar
shall Foch's capital victories-Metz.
st. Gond, the second Marine, Strasburg,
etc. Above this, in gold on red copper,
appears the legend: Terror belli, de-
Gus Pacis'- Terrible in war, gentle in
peace. Then beyond the field of blue
and stars appears the inscription.
'Marechal Ferdinand Foch, 1914-19,"
and this is surmounted by the golden
arms Of France, the United States,
Lorraine's dual cross and the arms of
the Knights of Columbus. The alloy
of the metal parts of the baton is
one from Pennsylvania.
James A. Flaherty of Philadelphia,
supreme knight of the Knights of Co.
lumbus, will present the baton to Mar
shall Foch when the marshal unveils
the statue of Lafayette which the
Knights of Columbus will present to
France.

Puts \ Viii In You
Easv to Get Strong

Everyone wants more pep and sure''
ly needs it this hot weather. Hot
weather takes away the appetite and
makes one feel listless, lifeless, misers
able, even when you have a. strong
stomach, but for those who have weak
stomachs, it is really dangerous
trying time.
Be on the safe side this kind OF
weather and help nature all you can, by
taking an eatonic tablet about half
an hour before you eat and one or
two an hour after you eat; it will be
of wonderful benefit. Eatonic SIM
ply takes up the excess acids, poisons
and gases, and carries them right GUY
of the body. With the cause Of the
trouble removed, Of course you will
feel fit and fne-full Of pep all the
time. Eatonic will cool feverish mouth
and stomach and give you good
appetite, even in hot weather.
Get big box at your druggists
for a trifling cost and let eatonic
help you for a few days; then you
will never be without 1t. Adv.

SOME RECORD AIR FLIGHTS
Give Proof That Birds Are Still the
Undisputed Champions in the
Flying Game.

Long-distance flights by birdmen
have long been anticipated by the birds
themselves, says the Christian Science
Monitor. Recent proofs of their endur-
ance and wanderlust comes in re-
port from Capetown, which says that
five swallows have been traced recent
ly from hangers in England to tenn
porary homes in South Africa. These
birds were ringed as. nestlings and
found by happy chance at the other
end OF the world One nesting ringed
in Lancashire, was found in Cape
Province in February of the next year;
another, ringed in Ayrshire, was re-
ported next March in Orange Free
State; another, ringed in Yorkshire
was recovered in East Griqualand the
following February; a fourth swallow,
this time an adult, ringed in Stafford
shire, was recovered in Natal 10
months afterward; the fifth bird,
ringed on June 1, 1919 in Stirlingshire,
was found in February, 1920, at Lake
Chrissie.
The ringing scheme was inaugurated
by J. II. Whitherby, editor Of British
Birds.

mating the tar content.
