The Pneumonia Month.

March is a typical pneumonia
month and usually gives a high
rate of mortality for the disease
After a long hard winter, the sys-
tenn loses much of its resistance
and people grow careless. When
every cold, no matter how slight,
is given prompt and intelligent
attention, there is much less dan
ger Of pneumonia. 1t should be
borne in mind that pneumonia is
a germ disease and breeds in the
throat. Chamberlain s Cough
Remedy is an expectorant and
cleans out the germ ladened mu-
Gus and not only cures cold
but prevents it resulting iii
pneumonia. 1t is pleasant to
take. Children take it willing

BLUE GRASS ORIGIN UNKNOWN
Some Credit It to Virginia, but Henry
Clay Asserted 1t Came From
Indiana.

The origin of the blue grass in
Kentucky is an open question. Some
say that it was raised to some extent
in Virginia before being brought to
Kentucky; other stories relate that
this aristocrat among the grasses
was found in Kentucky by Boone
and other early settlers. Henry
Clay is said to have remarked :
Kentucky owes a lasting debt of
gratitude to Indiana. 1t was from
her soil that we got our blue grass"
Whatever its origin, this noble grass
has had an important place in the
agricultural development of the re-
gion. Hardy, nourishing and not to
be cholled out by weeds, the blue
grass has found favor from Europe
to the southern seas, especially
where lands are rich and high type
Of agriculture is practiced.
Blue grass seed is shipped annual
" from Lexington to far-off Aus
tralia and Japan, to Hawaii and
many South American countries, to
England, Scotland and many coun-
tries on the Continent. Eighty-fve
to 80 per cent Of the worlds output
is shipped from Kentucky.

.'Mam'zelle Boy Scout is the

French name had to persuade some
newspaper reporters not to precede
the article 'la'' with the article

USE GERMAN "DUe-ouTs."

German "dugouts'' which were
made bombproof and indestructible,
are serving useful purpose in
peace. The French peasants who
are engaged in reconstructing their
homes and farms use them as store
houses for potatoes, and in some
cases as chicken coops. Many people
have been killed by the disturbance,
during blowing, of buried shells and
bombs, and it is now the custom to
run whenever the plowshare strikes
anything in the field being reculti-
waited for the first time since the
war.

German Paper

Anglo-Jap Pact

War, Deutschc Zeitung
Declares.
By DONALD STONE.

Chicago Tribune Cable. Copyright. 1921
Berlin, Sept l6.--The announce
ment OF an alleged secret agreement
between England aud Japan, in
which the former country Is pledged
TO support Japan in the event OF a
war with America, was made here
today by the Dcutsche Lenung,
which claims to have received the
facts from wcll-informed Ameri-
can source.
The German paper, after telling
how the firm opposition OF Australia
and Canada compelled the English
government to amend the tc'ms OF
the alliance, pledging ncutra.ity in
The event of Japanesc-Arerican
war, then claims that the Japanese
dissatisfaction resulted in secret
agreement, which while it does not
obligate England to join the war,
pledges the British to render aid
under cover in two ways.
The first step calls for the destruc-
ton of the Panama canal, making it
impossible for the American fleet,
and the instigation of disorders i'll
Mexico, Panama and Colombia di-
rected against the United States. The
second form of assistance is the crea-
ton Of revolutionary propaganda as
an obstacle to efficient war prepara-
tions in the United States.
At the same time, under the al
legged treaty, England's financial pow
er is to be organized to cooperate
with German industry to secure con-
troll of the markets OF South America
and China and to shut out America
from Russia.
