¢ - S FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 7, 1919 S v HE CUT RED TAPE Undarwood & Undarwand Col. Edwin Jadwin, now in command of one of the engineér regiments in France, disregarded war department red tape, formalities and regulations, to get his troops over to France fully equipped for work. The record made by Colonel Jadwin in getting his men speedily ready for service and the effi- clency of his work has already been the subject of widespread comment in army circles. It develops now that the reason for his success was primarily due to the fact that he ignored red tape incumbrances which are required legally by the present system. It will be for Secretary Baker to decide whether Col. Jadwin is to escape the |: remonstrance that attaches to his course’ or whether he will be com- mended for his initiative and his sue- ;- cess. BRITISH BIRTH RATE GROWS More Boys Are Born in Times of Hard- ships, Official Figures Show. London.—More babies were born in England during August than in any previous month since the beginning of the war. Official returns. show the number to be 6,390, equivalent to an annual rate of 18 per 1,000, and 461 more babies thati “in" the same” month' of 1918, : i _“1 believe that during and after wars icore boy babfes ‘are born than girls,” said Dr. Mary Scharlieb, a specialist, @iscussing the report. . “I think official figures will prove that more boys are born during periods of stress, hard- ship and food shortages and more girls diring periods of wealth, eéase and luxury.” “A baby these days is a very ex- pensive addition to the average Brit- {sh family,” said another doctor. “The cost of everything, from blankets to perambulators has practically doubled. | Milk i8 a shilling a quart and nurses three guineas a week. The infant's extensive wardrobe is also a costly af- fair these days, while his cot costs twice as much as before the war. Only millionaires can afford twins, much as we need them to repair the waste of war.” HAWAIIAN BOOZE HOT STUFF “Okolehea” !s the Product of Island’s Moonshinérs—Decoction Has Mule’s Kick. ‘Washington.—The Hawaiian moon- shiner has developed a product that is said to have a worse ‘“edge” than any produced in continental United States. It is “okolehea,” which pronounced 18 not unlike the melody of a Swiss yodler. Prince Kalaniancole says it means in plain vernacular “hot stuff,” and has a kick that would put “old settin’ hen,” “stump rum” and “moun- tain dew” in the shade. “Okolehea” is a gin made from the root of a “ti-plant” or “draecena.” It is distilled in the mountains and as there are but two or three revenue agents for the locality, the Hawalian mountaineer has a comparatively easy time. Price of Pets Drops; Elephants Only $2,000 London.—People who are look- ing for a pet which would make the neighbors talk may be inter- ested to know that in London it 1s possible to buy from a dealer in wild animals an elephant for $2,000, a tiger cub for $800, a panther for $700, a pig-tailed ape for $60, and a python snake for $50. Prices have dropped since the first cargoes since 1914 are arriving from Africa. _ Gets Many Proposals. London.—The Uxbridge board of guardians has been appealed to by an ex-soldier, a widower with three chil- dren, who has advertised in vain for a nurse and housekeeper. “I have many replies,” he said, “hut all the women want to get married.” o PR DELUGE OF REFUGEES IS THREATENING POLAND (By United Press.) Warsaw— (By Mail.)—Twenty- nine Poles, who- have just completed a pilgrimage of many months from the heart of Siberia to the newly-re- deemed city of Minsk, have brought the news that at least 200,000 men taken prisoner by the Austians are waliting in Siberia for an opportune moment to return to Poland. According to the newly-returned refugees, who were themselves Aus- trian prisoners of war, western Si- beria is full of homeless men claim- ing Polish nationality. Several among them placed the number as high as 500,000. The problem created in Poland by the returning prisoners and refugees is already acute, the government being forced to rely heavily on Red Cross help to feed and clothe them. Should the number of refugees still to return be in keeping with the estimate brought by the new arrivals, it will mean an enormous additional burden.

FEELS SHE COULD SHOUT FOR JOY Mrs. Morrison Is Rejoicing Over Her Remarkable Re- storation to Health “I could just shout for joy, I feel so happy since Tanlac made me well again,” was the statement made by Mrs. Charles Morrison, of 749 York St., St. Paul, Minn., to a Tanlac rep- resentative a few days ago. “I thought my time had just about come for I had suffered until I was scarcely more than a frame,” con- tinued Mrs. Morrison, “and had to spend most of my time in bed. For eight long years my stomach was in an awful condition and no matter how little I ate I suffered no end of misery after nearly every meal, and some times I went a couple of days at a time without touching a bite of nourishment of any kind. Gas formed on my stomach and pressed up against my heart so bad that often I actually fainted and some times I got so dizzy that I would fall down flat in my tracks. Many and many a night I rolled and tossed all night long and didn’t get a wink of sleep, and in spite of all I could do I kept getting weaker and weaker all the time, and finally I got to where I was almost a complete nerv- ous and physical wreck and had to give up my housework entirely and go to bed. I tried and tried to get a medicine that would do me some good but nothing I took seemed to The entire Farm Equipn;nent——Machinery, Stock and - Some Household Goods of the Shady Beach Farm, owned by V/.

The longest day I live I'll praise ' Tanlac, for my recovery has been simply remarkable and I'm feel- ing as well as I ever did. My stom- ach is in perfect condition and I can eat anything I want and never have the sign of an ache or pain after- wards and I'm gaining in weight as fast as I can. I never have a dizzy spell and I can sleep sound all night long and when I get up in the morn- ing I feel refreshed.
