 In the same issue of the Packet is Q statement by Franklin, Silas Deane and Arthur Lee telling of the cruelties against the American prisoners-instancing the cases of Colonel Parker, Colonel Ethan AL len and MT. Lovel. At the same time British prisoners were, on their own testimony, receiving kind treatment from the Amer icanS.,
 ''My Lords, humanity has ever been the characteristic of Eng lishmen; but, my Lords, -. in- stead of humanity, our national character is now stamped with inhumanity, and what is worse, we have the damning proofs be- fore our eyes.
 My Lords, am informed, and my information is to be depended upon, that the American prison CTS in this country (men who are made prisoners in the glorious cause of Liberty, and are nick named rebels, only to sanctify the rebellion of Ministers against the freedom of this country) are treated with 8 savage barbarity.
 'My Lords, I have heard some of their complaints. and they have gone to my heart. I will give you one of them in instance.
 "Your Lordships will remem- Der, that there is such a thing as the law of Retaliation. Whilst you are making prisoners of the Americans by fifties and hundreds. they are making prisoners of you by whole armies. The fate of General Burgoyne is known; and if General Howe does not again shift his position, his fate will be the same"
 The Packet relates in detail the inhuman treatment of the Amer ican prisoners, in America, in England and elsewhere.

KUPPENHEIMER CELEBRATES
 6oth ANNIVERSARY
Leading Clothing Maker influenced All American stJss

But the growth of the Kuppen- heimer shops proves how effectively that skepticism was removed. To- day 300,00O square feet of floor space, equivalent to seven acres, are devoted to the making of Kup- penheimer clothes.
 The development of quality ready- to-wear clothing has had an im- portant part in the national pro- gress. Only by making quality clothing available to the public re- gardless of income, would 1t have been possible to bring about the equality of appearance and thereby the democratic spirit which has asserted itself in this country, the company explains.
 lnlnsaesd lhhg Standard
 The offering of quality clothing to the general public at moderate prices contributed a good share to the elevation of the standard of living in America. The fact that practically all men might look uni- 1OIIu1Y kUOQ WnStuGA tlCy OAG 0DAS to invest large sums in their cloth ing or not is . considerable factor in building Q social and economic democracy.
 In reviewing what the Kuppen- heimer Company has contributed to the industry and to the country as a whole over the past 60 years, some important contributions are the improvement of working con- ditions, relationship with labor and the standardization and rigid cen- sorship of the product.
 Because the company strictly adheres to the making of . quality product, the current improyement in the Kuppenheimer business shows that higher-priced merchan- disc is In demand and that the pub ne, tired of wearing inferior cloth ing, is now able and willing to spend more money for apparel.

PACKET-Dec. 1777 EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM PARIS

''When Dr. Franklin appears abroad 1t is more like 3 public than . private gentleman, and the curiosity of the people to- see him is so great, that he may be said to be followed by 2 genteel mob. A friend of mine paid something for a place at a two pair of stairs window, to see him pass by in his coach, but the crowd was so great that he could but barely say he saw him."
 ':We are we'll assured that Dr. Franklin, whose knowledge In philosophical sciences is uni- versally allowed, and who has carried the powers of electricity to a greater length than any of his contemporaries, intends short ly to produce an electrical ma chine of such wonderful force, that, instead of giving . slight stroke to the elbows of fifty or a hundred thousand men who are joined hand in hand, 1t will give a violent shock even to nature herself, so as to disunite king doms, join islands to continents, and render men of the same na- ten strangers and enemies to each other; and that by 8 cer- tain chymical preparation from oil, he will be able to smooth the waves of the sea in one part of the globe, and raise tempests and whirlwinds in another, so as to be universally acknowledged for the greatest physician, politician. mathematician, and philosopher this day living"
 Those, says 8 correspondent, who suppose Dr. Franklin came to Paris in the 18th year of his age, to make experiments on natural philosophy. must cer- tainly be great many years older than the Doctor. They must be even in their dotage; and those, adds he, who imagine that the French will deliver him up to

 "From the London Evening Post of January 27. The following is an authentic copy of the letter which was sent to Lord North, by the Plenipotentiaries of the United States of America:
 ""To the Right Hon. Lord North, First Lord of the Treasury, Chan cellor of the Exchequer, and Prin- cipal Minister of the King Of Great Britain.
 "My Lord, from motives of duty, and an earnest desire of mitigating the calamities of war, we proposed, near 8 year since, to the King of Great Britain's ambassador here, an exchange of prisoners in Europe. The answer we received must have been made known to your Lordship, and the world will judge of its decency. It

Leading stores throughout the country are taking part this week in the celebration of the 6Oth anni- versary of the founding of B. Kuppenheimer & Co.,, Inc, Chicago, makers of quality clothes for men
 Among the old-established firms of the country which have partici- pated in the development of Amer ican industry and business, Kup- penheimer has made . noteworthy contribution to the growth of the ready-to-wear apparel business into one of the major industries of the country, providing an occupation for many thousand skilled workers.
 Pounded early in 1876 by Bernard Kuppenheimer, the beginning of the business was coincident with the start of the making of ready to-wear clothing. in this country. Prior to that date, mems clothing, with the exception of work clothes and comparatively crude unfinished apparel for the masses, was pro- duced only by custom tailors and was available only to the few who could afford to pay . comparatively large sum for clothing.
 \ Maa lndnsty
 Kuppenheimer, together with several other clothing rnanufactur- CTS who started in business a short time later, developed the produc- tion of ready-to-wear clothing for men into q major industry.
 The perfection of labor saving machinery, the increasing prosper lty of America after the Civil war, were factors that gave impetus to the growth of the better ready made clothing manufacturers. AZ Arst people were skeptical that the same quality and skill which the custom tailor attained could be duplicated in ready-made clothing.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. D.
COME years ago the success Of the
treatment of e patient with tuber-
culosis was measured by the amount
of weight (mostly fat) that he had
accumulated during his stay In the
sanitorium. Patients were sent home
weighing actually more than they had
ever weighed before. After Few
weeks or months at home the fat, In
many cases. began to disappear, there
was great loss Of strength. the symp-
toms returned and the patient re-
turned to the sanitarium.
This induced the sanitarium ofhcials
to give patients little work or exer-
else, gradually increasing the amount
until the patient was able to be on his
feet doing light work for about five
hours day. This hardened up" the
patient, and when he returned home
he was better able to prevent return
of the symptoms of tuberculosis.
Today we find that just as fat is a
handicap to the average healthy in
dividually, so also is too much" fat
a handicap to the tuberculosis patient.
Many fat people have thin blood. A
little extra fat is considered safe or
even advisable, but great amount OF
fat interferes with heart action ana
with the circulation of the blood.
The thought now is to feed the
tuberculous patient with an all-around
diet-plenty Of meat, eggs, milk, leafy
vegetables, butter, cream and cod liver
oil when it agrees with the patient.
Perhaps the biggest advance in the
treatment Of various diseases is allow
ing the patient to not only eat more
food, but to eat the kinds Of foods he
likes as much as possible.
DR.. Clarence w. Lieb, in Hygeia.
speaks of the new models in diet"
In typhoid fever the patient is now
given plenty of nourishing foods.
where he was formerly starved. Meat
is now given in rheumatism, in
Bright's disease inflammation of the
kidneys) and in high-blood pressure.
Starchy foods are now given to dia-
bette patients. MANY present-day
grandmothers are probably startled
when they see their 3 month old
grandchild being fed carrots, tomato
juice, scraped beef and minced liver"
In other words, the patient himself
with his likes. and his body needs. is
given first consideration; the nourish-
ing foods give him the strength physi-
cally and so raise his spirits and NOR
ale that he IS better able to fight of
the ailment.

Natures Children
Mourning Cloak (Vanessa antispa).

keep tabs on her, and you will note
the experience In your home has not
been in any way harmful to her.
On your early Spring trips inspect
the flowers well. You can identify her
by her black cloak, with yellow edging
and q border Of violet spots. This
color scheme Of hers also protects her.
As she alights and closes her wings
above her back-accord!ng 10 true but
terfly traditions-she becomes very in
conspicuous, for the under surface Of
her wings Is so mottled and colorcd
that only experts can find her.
When you see her fitting over par
TALLY opened leaf buds Of an elm,
poplar or willow, she Is seeking an
anchorage for her eggs. These small
objects are seven or eight sided, ar
ranged in collar or girdle style about
the twig. Return In about two weeks.
Peep under the leaves. Behold the
dark-head babies, with rich yellow
brown bodies and covered with formid-
able-looking spines.
Finally the caterpillar, after several
molts, Is grown up, o creature ga
inches long, clothed in black, frosted
with white. Each youngster has o
dorsal row Of eight bright red spots
and red prolegs. He still retains his
spines.
The next thrilling step for you to
witness Is the hanging upside down
stunt, which means it Is pupa time.
Fasting comes first. A little mat Of silk
Is spun and the rear pair Of prolegs
is entangled into the silk rosette. The
spinner lets 60. He swings head down
and Is still. A miracle is taking place.
Once in a while you will notice sudden
jerks and twitching. The skin on the
head cracks and before your eyes be-
gins to wrinkle and slowly roll back
and of.
Sometimes a fatality occurs when
the foundation Is not strong enough
to hold the caterpillar's weight or
when he gets caught in his own silk
and crashes to the ground. But If all
has been done correctly, q beautiful
coat Of mail, irregular in outline, violet
brown In color, now protects the cater
pillar.
Three weeks later, about the first Of
July. the crumpled- winged mourning
cloak butterfly will emerge. Pretty
soon the butterflies fnd their mates
and again you may watch the egg
laying, for the mourning cloak Is q
double -brooder.

A GREETER OF Spring worthy of
~ your attention Is the mourn
~ ing cloak butterfly. She is en-
4 n titled to membership in the
famous sleepers' club" though she
has never received an invitation to
become an active member. Can 1t be
because she is known as q hard
drinker?
Late in the Autumn she seeks ref
uge from foe and weather. For she
knows well her duty to the future gen.
GRAFTON Of mourning cloaks Is to live
through the Winter as an adult and
find a place to awaken in that is suit
able for the expected offspring. This
duty is honorably discharged by all
the females OF the mourning cloak
family.
You perhaps have been surprised to
see this butterfly on an exceptionally
warm day in Winter futtering through
the air. Follow her. The spicy odor
OF rotting apples, sawdust or sap must
have penetrated her numbness and
the temptation was too great. A thirst
for a drink could not be denied. So
follow the tippler, If you can. Here
you may see her slipping to her hearts
content.
Perhaps, as the air suddenly becomes
chilly, she hastily seeks shelter in a
deep wound in a tree or a large loose
bit of bark. Here she will sleep again

trace their personal history back into
