Paris.—The American Y. M. C. A, at its own request, has been relieved of its work of maintain. Ing the post exchanges with the American army. Correspondence exchanged between General Per- shing and E. C. Carter, in charge of Y. M. C. A. with the army, shows the reason for this ar- \ rangement was that the Y. M. C. A, nowhas “increased respon- ¥ sibilities in promoting education- al, athletic and entertainment activities In the American expe- ditionary forces,” thus placing a rapidly Increasing burden on its personnel. General Pershing in a letter to Mr. Carter approving the change, expressed- his thanks “for the very valuable services and as- sistance which the Y. M. C. A. has rendered to the American ex- peditionary force in handling these exchanges. General Per- ghing added: “Handicapped by the shortage of tonnage and land transporta- tion, the Y. M. C. A. has by extra exertion served the army better than could have been expected. and you may be assured that its aid has been a large factor in the final great accomplishments of the American army.” & l B R F R R e BB KB R R R e S e R R R MRSl X ctive Page L THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 3, 1919 DEPEW 'MIXED IN HIS FACTS Venerable New York Statesman a Little Ahead of Time in Use of Term “Highbrow.” 5 Who were “the highbrows of forty years ago,” of whom Chauncey M. Depew spoke in giving his recoltec- tions of Theodore Roosevelt at the Methodist preachers’ gonference? The venerable ex-Senator, relating the circumstances of Mr. Roosevelt's political debut in 1880, quoted “a Re- publican district leader” as suggesting to him the nomination. of the young Harvard graduate for assemblyman to placate _the element in his district “which the boys call ‘high brow,’ llv- Ing along Fifth avenue.” % Was there “any sich animal” at that time? It was four years before the appearance of the mugwump, who, though a highbrow according to his lights, was not the simon-pure-article, His was not “a superior attitude toward the generality of mankind,” but only toward certain’ political rep- resentatives of it. The real highbrow was yet to come. Was Will Irwin his inventor? Ex- cursions into the origing of words are always hazards, even in the case of’ contemporary coinage, but it appears to be sufficiently well authenticated that highbrow is a more recent prod- uct than Mr. Depew would have us suppose. Indeed, highball got into the diction- arles before highbrow, which is not cited in the Century of 1911 or the Webster of 1910, though it appears in the New Standard of 1913. An octogenarian memory, though it is a marvelous storehouse of events, may at times deceive its' possessor. What the district leader probably said was “silk stockings.” Mr. Depew has apparently merely confused the period at which the grow- ing indulgence of ‘the proletariat in silk stockings caused the term to be superseded by “highbrows.”” — New York World. Mettle of the Pasture. A young soldier while engaged in the desperate flight at Cantigny was found by some of his American pals at the conclusion of a particularly des- perate fight squatting in the middle of a piece of grass-covered ground. He had a ittle pile of hand grenades at his side, and there were several encmy dead on ‘the outskirts of the little green oasis, He had been fighting like a demon, single-handed. . “What's the idea?” asked thé ser- geant, running up; *why stay here— it's all over.” “See this grass?’ was the answer. rointing to a tush patch that had been out to seed by French peasants before their retreat in the face of faling shells. “I'm keeping it for a cow buck of the lines that belongs to a family I'm billeted with.

S What's 7 aaNamez 770 LR Most readers ure familiar with the story of the German bank in a United States clty which, finding its name un- popular, changed it to the *“Sherman bank.” Here is another example on the same lines: A popular New York city German restaurant was called the Kloster Glocke (Cloister Bell), and its front was decorated with a large bell as a sign. The name has been changed to the “Liberty Bell,” and the bell of the old monastery now does duty as a replica of the one which rang out Independence to the colonfes, Doubts Mechanical Skill. A ‘“prominent business man” has offered $50,000 for the privilege of belng carried as mechanic on the fiyst transatlantic flight made in an air plane. If this offer I8 accepted, it fs to be hoped that his mechanical ability equals his entbuslasm.—Spring- fleld Republican, In 1818 Sir Arthur Garrod proved that in gout ( also true in rhenmatism )/ there is deficient elimination on the| part of the kidneys and the poisoms’ within are not thrown off. Prof. JI. Strauss attributes a gouty attack to the heaping up of poisons where there is an abundance of uric acid which is precipitated in the joints; and sheaths, setting up inflammation. Before the attack of gout or rheo- matism there is gometimes headache, } or what is thonsht to be neuralgia, or} thenmatic conu.wons, rach as lumbago, pain in the back of tie neck, or sciatica. As Prof. Strauss eays, " The excretion of uric acid we arc_abie to effect by exciting diuresis.” Drink copiously of water, gix or eight glasees per day, hot water before meals, and obtain Anuric tablets, double strength, for 60 cts., at the nearest drug store and take them three times a day.

Says we will both look and feel clean, sweet and fresh ‘ and avoid illness. == | Sanitary science has of late made rapid strides with results that are of untold blessing to humanity, The lat- est application of its untiring re- search is the recommendation that it is as nccessary to attend to internal sanitation of the drainage system of the human body as it is to the drains of the house. Those of us who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when we arise, splitting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom- ach, can, instead feel as fresh as a daisy by opening the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the internal poison- ous stagnant matter. Everybody, whether ailing, sick or well, should, each morning before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water’ with a teaspoonful of lirte- stone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver and bowels the pre- vious day’s indigestible waste, sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifing the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach. The action of hot water and lime- stone phosphate on an empty stom- ach is wonderfully invigorating. It cleans out all the sour fermentations, gases, waste and acidity and gives one a splendid appetite for break- fast. While you are enjoying your breakfast the phosphated hot water is '%l’xhietly extracting a large volume ST FALEF£Fo i the “blood and gettin ‘Yeady for ‘a thorough flushing of afi the inside organs. The - millions of people who are bothered with constipation, billious spells, stomach trouble, rheumatic stiffness; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly com- plexions are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phasphate from the drug store. This will cost very little, but is sufficient to make any- one a pronounced crank on the sub- ject of internal sanitation. Fresh A ALL this your garden gives you.
