THREE NOTED FRENCH TOWNS
viii Live In History as Having Given
Their Names to Articles Of Every.
Day Commerce..

Three towns In northern France
have given their names to articles Of
everyday eomnierce-Cambrai, from
which Cambria" is derived; Arras, a
Term applied to certain kind Of
tapestry, and Valeneiennes, noted for
its lace in olden times. Cambrai, too.
is associated with the name Of the
great French eeclesiastic and moralist,
Francois Fenelon, statue of whom
stood in the cathedral before the Ger
mans captured the town. Fenelon
wrote one of the most famous novels
Of the eighteenth century: "The Ad-
ventures of Telemachus." an account
of the son of Ulysses. At Cambria was
concluded a very curious treaty, the
sO-called Ladies' Peace" between
Louise of Savoy and Margaret Of Aus
tria. representing France and Austria,
respectively, in 1920. At Arras was
born the celebrated leader of the
French Revolution, Macmillan Robes
pierre, who organized the Reign OF
Terror by which he himself was finally
to fall. Valencfennes no longer made
the beautiful lace which its name sug-
gests, but. was a center for the manu-
facture of hosiery, trimmings, and
handkerchiefs. 1t was the birthplace
OF two famous men-Watteau, whose
paintings are regarded as perhaps the
most characteristic products Of French
art in the eighteenth century, and
Froissart, whose chronicles of the
wars Of the Middle Ages are full Of
movement and color. Near by is an
other famous -Douai-whose
name is Joined with version in Eng
llsh of the Bible prepared for the
special use Of the Catholic church.

One can never speak correctly OF z

mere tumble of habitations. 1t has
streets, so-called,. usually a network Of
them. But no two Of the streets run
parallel, except this occurs by accf-

Sometimes in village quarter to a
third of a mile long there will not be
a single cross-road or street whereby
a vehicle can get from the front to the
rear Of the village. Outside the treaty
ports and a few of the larger towns,
the paths-they are little more-are
too narrow for even the passage i0f

STORING UP VITAL ENERGY
Without Process That Goes on During
the Hours Of Slumber Life Could
Not Continue.

Following is from Practical Thera-
peutics by Henry Lindlahr, N. D.:
During sleep the liberation of vital
energy in the body continues as dur
ing the wakeful hours of active work.
and none is expe1Gied. The body acts
as a storage battery. A reserve of
vital energy is thus accumulated TOT
the work of the following day.
1.-THE moment consciousness wakens
and mental activity begins the eXpeno-
iture of vital force commences.
cit is for these reasons that nothing
can take the place of sleep as re-
storer Of vital energy. No amount OF
food and drink, no tonics or stlmuiants
can make good for lost Sleep"
