D., said that Am- erican women had a wonderf.\'xl facil: ity for getting things dome. They decided to.do-a thing. today and it was done tomorrow. She recalled the days-of the war, when wiseacres and greybeards:were arguing as to wheth- er there were any war babies. Cer- tainly there were hundreds of babies, and whether.the young mothers were married. ar, not, those babies needed - care and tending. They were all soldfers’ -babies_and that fact was sufficient: to: cause American women to. cut alt red tape and “get gplng. It was not- very long-before they had a. fully-staffed. _and fully-equipped ward ready. for the reception of the girl mothers. Lady Barrett also pointed out that the American women did not.intend their -good- services to end with ‘the equipment-of the ward. An arrange- ment had been made whereby each .. young mother, on.leaving the hospit- . al, would have some one of the Am- " erican’ women to call “friend,” and the American. women who had thus befriendsd her would help her through many difficulties on her re- turn to home-lif i e ¥ T “Silly-Old Fool.” Of the stories told by Mr. Pett Ridge, the popular author, one of the \ best, perhaps, Is of-an incident which * occurred outside a.London railway sta: { tion. e, - - < “I' wanted n taxicab,” says Mr. ttidge.: “A sipall Loy ran to fetch éne 'and -came back with it, holding the (bandle of the door as a signal of tem- .,/ porary ownership.

Our blood is filled with uric acid which the kid- neys strive to filter out, they weaken from-overwork, become sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog and the re: sult is-kidney trouble, bladder weak- ness and a general decline in health. ‘When your kidneys feel like lumps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache or dizzy, nervous ls, acid stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jed Salts; take a table- spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a-few- days-and your kidneys.will then act fine.

Buenos Aires.—Bellef that a wide- spread internatlonal organization is at work stealing merchandise from steamships is expressed in a report of the United States Chamber of Com- merce in Argentina. The chamber investigated the loss of valuable merchandise by piifering from ships plying to this port, and found “that the same characteristics are ‘visible in thefts of merchandise from Italy, Spain and England as from the United States. “The increase in piiferage during the last few months.had been alarm- ing,” says the report. “An effort was made to deducé from the evidence re- celved the value of the goods stolen, but this was impossible, although in |- general terms it .would seem to run into hundreds of thousands of dollars gold.” BARS U.

SCOTS SPURN SUNDAY WORK Lord Leverhuime Finds Opposition to Plan for Great Fishing Project. London.—Lord Leverhulme has en- countered the religious prejudices of the Scotchmen who live on the exten- sive property he has purchased in the Outer Hebrides and has suffered a re- buff. He had planned to make Storno- way, on the Island of Lewis, the head- quarters of a huge fishing fleet that would sweep the seas for 500 miles around. The project involved Sunday labor, and the islanders, who adhere to the strict and intense form of the Presbyterian faith, rejected it. Commenting on the incident, the periodical, Common Sense, says: “Lord Leverhulme is a man of big ideas and new ideas, while the pepula- rights of lairdship are folk of old and intense ideas. Hence the inevitable collision.” 900,000 JEWS SERVE IN WAR Dr. Max Nordau Says Race Lost 80, 000 Dead in the Fighting— Had 200,000 Casuaities. London.—Dr. Max Nordau told the English: Zionist federation the other day that in the world war the Jews had furnished 900,000 soldiers to the various armies. . 'This; he said, was about 7 per cent of the whole number of Jews, a pro- portion equaled by few and surpassed only, he believes, by the French. The Jews-had lost 80,000 dead and had about 200,000 casualties. But what had the Jews fought for, he asked. Even in the advanced and highly civilized countries of the West, he continued, a. huge wave of anti- Semitism was welling up;‘in the new countries that had arisen in the East the most criminal passions were let loose -against the Jews. In this dark picture there was one bright spot, the British declaration in favor of a Jew- ish national home - in Palestine. Give Annunzio a Poniard. Rome.—The women of Fiume on 8t.
