Picking and the indications are that
it will speedily die out throughout
China. In Picking one must learn
to speak a certain amount of Chi
nese, or if one prefers, he can easily
hire servants who speak very re-
spectacle English.
Although first experience with the
Far East usually brings with 1t a
keen interest in, and even a certain
admiration for, the jargop known as
pidgin English, only the most con-
descending type of foreigner and the
most syncopant type of Chinese can
long endure it. For it is a makeshift
at best, neither English nor Chinese
but partaking of both, and any Chi
nese or foreigner of intelligence can
learn to speak more or less English
or Chinese respectively in less time
than it takes to acquire familiarity
with pidgin.
To be more specific, the foreign
visitor to Picking finds that for a
total time expediture of perhaps
sixty hours, and a total outlay of
about $25 United States currency,
he can learn enough Mandarin, the
official Chinese language-to express
everything he could possibly wish
to say.

THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them now
with Creomulsion. IAN emulsifed Gre
osote that is pleasant to take. Creo-
sote is a new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothes and heals the
inflamed membranes and inhibits germ
growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as one
of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms of throat troubles. Creomu1sion
q contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and Inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is alb
sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth of
the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory In the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma
bronchitis and other forms of respra-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is
not relieved after taking according to
directions. Ask your druggist-Adver-

AVOID UGLY PIMPLES

A pimply face will not embarrass you
much longer If you get a package OF
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets. The skin
should begin to clear after you have
taken the tablets a few nights.
Cleanse the blood, bowels and liver
with DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the
successful substitute for calomel; ;
there's no sickness or pain after taking
them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets do that
which calomel does, and just as efec-
lively, but their action is gentle and
safe instead of severe and irritating.
| No one who takes Olive Tablets is
ever cursed with dark brown taste, ="
bad breath, dull, listless, mo good"
feeling, constipation, torpid liver, bad
disposition or pimply face.
| Olive Tablets are a purely vegetable
/ compound mixed with olive oil; know
them by their olive color.
DR.. Edwards spent years among pa
| tents afflicted with liver and bowel
complaints and Olive Tablets are the
| immensely effective result. Take night

Der moments, France regrets and is
deeply ashamed of the unfortunate
anti-foreign demonstrations and the
marks of hospitality for which
American summer tourists in partic-
ular were singled out.
Those same newspapers which
only two months ago were printing
violently anti-American stories, car
rying caricatures of Uncle Sam in
the role of a grssping Shylock and
were largely responsible for the sud
den outburst of bad temper against
Americans, are now lamenting that

into the tide of gold which comes in
with the American tourist season re
gret the demonstrations. There IS
an openly expressed fear that Ger
many, Switzerland and the Scandi-

lean tourist trade in another year.
The Americans were blamed for
sending sky-high the living costs in
France. But the Americans have
gone. or at least the summer tourists,
and living costs have not tumbled a
centime. Parisians realize now that
profiteering among native French
merchants at the expense of native
Frenchmen. and not the extra
mouths TO feed among tourists. is
responsible for the rising costs.
Particularly is France anxious,
about the coming national conven.
ton of the American Legion which
is booked to take place in Paris.
French newspapers carried de-
spatches from America announcing
the action of several inland posts
urging that the Paris trip be called
off. The Government is doing every
thing within its power to encourage
the Lagoon to come over. because the
Government realizes that France
must keep the friendship of the ex-
soldiers.

NO TOWN NEWSPAPERS

Think of a city of 5O000 people with no newspaper! Frank P. Glass, veteran Amer ican newspaper man, who has recently com pleted a tour of the world, found such a city, not in an uncivilized country, but in France.
 Excepting in the largest cities, according to MT. Glass, newspapers in France are few and far between, and there are practically no small town papers such as we have n America.
 In some of the towns, men go about the streets calling out the news gleaned from city newspapers, often several days old. Yet the newspapers of Paris have enormous circulations, that of LePetit Journal reach ing over million, the largest in the world.
 But for the great mass of the people Of France there is no such thing as the publi- cation of local news. Only the most prom inent people and the most notorious crinli- nals ever get their names into the newspa- pers.
 Quite a contrast with this country, where the news of every rural community Is vel comed by home town editors and gladly published for the benefit of their readers.

KINDNESS THAT WINS MEN

There is quality of gentlemanly kind ness that inspires leaders and wins men. That may be one reason why the soldiers of the confederacy were ready to follow Gen. Robert E. Lee to the cannon's mouth. The little incident, related by an ex-soldier to one of Lees biographers, Maj. Gen. Sir Fredericy Maurice of the British army, is an example.
 In May, 1864, the private and a friend were foraging, and entered little farm house near Fredericksburg. A kind old lady invited them to eat, saying she was just about to feed some other of the SOL diers, The two privates washed up in pre- paration for the meal
 Upon entering the dining room, they were amazed and confused to find, sitting at the table, Gen Lee and Gen. Wade Hamp- ton. Here was situation for you, the com manding officer of an army, and one of his cavalry chiefs, paired for dinner with two plain privates of the rear-most rank!
 The privates backed away, stammering excuses, making for the door. But they did not reach it. They were stopped by Lee himself.
 "Men, you need this food more than we do," he said "Sit down and help your- selves. Come, general, we will be moving on"
 Is it any wonder that Lees men were ready to die for him?
