NUMERICAL ADDRESSES
SUGGESTED FOR FRANCE

PARIS. P-A numerical telegraph
and cable address for every Paris
householder is urged by the Paris
newspaper Liberty. Frenchmen are
beginning to complain that the ro-
mantle sounding names of their streets
and towns cost them heavily in tele-
graph tolls, since addresses must be
paid for by the word. 1t is not un-
usual for a French address to run to
ID words or more.
Liberty also asks the municipal
council of Paris not to pick out five
and six word street names when the
are christening new thoroughfares.

SLEEP WALKER INJURED

FIT. MISSOULA, Mont. - Corporal
George Young, first battalion of the
4th infantry, recipient of the d. s. G..

GUS bravery in the late hostilities over

at the fort hospital here as a result of
injuries and decorations received while

is a clever Joke of some description.
Mr.. Juhasz is one of the clevereSt
Slight of hand artists in vaudeville
and is certain to convulse cid and
young alike with his clever stunts.
Don Cummings, billed as "The
Dude Roper" was the winner of the
VIM. S. Hart rope spinning contest
OF 30 contestants and is an expert
rope manipulation. His pleasing per-
Sonality and clever monologue greatly
assists his presentation.
Quinn and Meeker offer a clever
skit called Done In OIL" this deals
with the efforts of a glib salesman
trying 10 separate "Rube" and his
money. Many outlaws attend his
strenuous objections. sT I
Witmore and Costello are experts
on the Roman rings and are a pair
ot n1arvelously trained athletes.
All in all this bill bids fair to
capture the honors for being one
CT the best Of the season and it is
up to the audience to judge whether
the artists live up to their advance
notices. In the opinion of the tneater
management isuperla&ives are wasted
in describing this unit show as it
appears that it is beyond description
for the reason that nothing can be
said which can possibly equal the
superb performance.

children are daily instructed in
knowledge of the Bible, and that its

Such a tremendous distribution Ns
free samples seems unprecedented
AS a matter of fact, as you will see
there are one or two strings tied
to 1T. The British company obviously
realizes that nobody is satisfied with
the blade he now uses.
So in it's bombarding business men
through the mails from England
with samples OF what it expects to
give us incontestable supremacy in
this line Of business throughout the
world and which it claims renders

lete"
If they aren't pretty good, they
ought to be, as the price is about
twice that of Americas present fa-
vorites.
Thee charming naGvete of the Brit

have received in advance, for the
expressed purpose of allowing us to
let our friends in on the secret OF

The plan, known as "our collective

Sible person in your office to collect
names of all those desiring razor

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague
THOSE WE'RE THE BAD OLD DAYS


When the Borgias gave a party,
And the fair Lucretia poured
She would gairly cry: Drink hearty!'
To the guests about the board;
And the bright and CHEEKY laughter
OF the diners would resound
To the very topmost rafter--
AS the beaker passed around.
But the guests who graced the table
AS these jovial affairs
Were not subsequently able
To resume their oaken chairs.
Never more they loudly chanted
Songs of Bacchanalian mirth
Being permanently planted
Under six feet of earth.
We can find but scant compassion
For lady who could think
In her medieval fashion
OF dispensing too strong drink.
Though historians may bicker
Over fair Lncr6tias rame,
We're persuaded that her liquor
Should have had another name.
Let us all be truly grateful
AS we take our temperate ways,
That our banquets aren't as fateful
AS the meals in olden days.
Let us quaff our draughts unblinking,
AS from board to board we fit
Knowing that the stuff we're drinking
Cannot inj1re us a bit.
