A Soissons Milk-Maid

~ CORES of babies owe their lives ~ to the aGoutte de Lait lA milk station which the American Committee for Devastated France maintains at Soissons.
 Here is Marie who has her own milk route. Each morning before go- ing to school she calls at the Milk Station for her consignment of the precious s'lait" which she delivers to busy mothers who cannot call for it themselves.
 In March, 1920, the American Com mittee was asked to cooperate with the French authorities at Soissons. The American Committee supplied nursing facilities and turned over a part of it's transport service to the work of finding milk in that region, at that time a most difficult and important task Cows were located miles away and daily for more than two years, American girls serving as chauffeurs s'made" the Soissons milk route, bringing in, milk for the babies.
 Today, with a population of only 15,00O in Soissons, there are more than 400 babies registered at the American Clinic.
 The baby station has been con- ducted in a wooden shack, heretofore. The cornerstone for an up-to-date three-story brick and stone building was laid by the First Good Will Delegation on August 4, 1922. There will be modern sterilizing plant and living accommodations for nurses.

pounds of gold and 2,500 pounds of silver, part of the accumulation by the Soviet government as a result of confiscation of church treasures, have been tranferred by the commissar of finance to the central committee of famine relief, according to official announcement.

THE UNCLAD CLUB
 OF THE PYRENNES
Twenty-Six Spanish Cou- pies Live Life of Adam Eve In Forests.

Paris, Sept. 22-The American couple who recently decided to live Maine woods have kindred souls in Europe on a big scale. Not one. but 26 couples-Spaniards up their homes and civilization to seek an unencumbered Eden in the forests about Moncla. They have gone their American prototypes one better, to say nothing of exceeding the Biblical legend, by the formation of a society known as the Club of the Unc1ad Ones.'"
 The men and women live in the Pyrennean woods, properly segregat- ed as to marital relationships, in sep arate dwellings. They wear nothing not even the traditional f1gleaf. EIv- cry afternoon, following a call sound ed by a bug1er, the members of the club assemble. upon which occasion light clothing is permitted. For two hours the society. which has a pres ident, secretary and treasurer, discuss special form of existence, and when the conference breaks up the couples return to their natural homes
 Some have elected to live in earth shelters perched among the branches of big trees. The members intend to pass the winter in the forest, where they plan to rig up a large club house
 of the members is delegated to garb himself presentably and go to collect the mail for his companions, as well as to lay in store of little 1uxuries in the way of food The rest of the
 time the Adams and Eyes subsist up
 on the products of the woods, game and wild fruits.
 A condition of affairs quite oppo- site to that which inspires the mem bers of the Club of the Unclad" is the cause of a strike with which Paris is threatened The girls in the popular revues, such as those seen at the FolieS Bergere and +ba
 Ambassadors, declare that they will
 no longer appear in the customary | costumes or lack of them unless their wages are raised in direct ratio to what they do not wear. At present the shapely show girl who appears in tights at best gets only 300 francs
 a month, with an additional 50 francs | the maximum display of feminine beauty seldom earns a salary of more l than 400 francs.

The absence of hard feelings in the contest for the various places on the state ticket was very noticeable. Where g contest did exist the oppos- ing candidate was declared nominat- ed the action was made unanim ous by the other opposing faction.
 The calling of the roll On the elec- ton of the senator was a long drawn out process and in several instances when chairmen of delegations said that Their delegates had instructed them to vote as a unit for SpellacY. Lonergan men objected.
 Rol1in U. Tyler, whose name was placed in nomination for attorney general. declined emphatica1ly. He dee~ed that he would not accept the nomination and that if he was elected hc would refuse to serve the office. Tyler is said to have been peeved be- cause he did not receive nomination to a higher office, but this theory is exploded when Tyler explained that he did not wish to weaken the ticket and that his law. practice was so great that he could not under any c:rcum- stances accept the nomination. A great honor was conferred upon him two years ago when he ran on the Democratic ticket for governor and was defeated. This honor was all he wished, it was explained

CALOMEL USERS
Are SALIvATED
Next Dose Of TreaCherOus Drug
May Start Misery

Calomel is dangerous. It may salivate
Eou and make you suffer fearfully from
soreness Of gums, tenderness Of jaws
and teeth, swollen tongue and excess
sive saliva dribbling from the mouth.
Don't trust calomel. It is mercury !;
quicksilver.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle Of Dod-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
Is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take q spoonful
and if it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick, you just go back and get your
money.
If you take calomel today you'll be
sick and nauseated tomorrow; besides,
1t may salivate you, while If you take
Dodson's Liver Tone you will wake up
feeling great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because 1t Is per-
fectly harmless and can not salivate.

workers appeared to permit them to
run any department.
