Mr. Kennedy is a returned veteran who spent 29 months in France as a member of the 70th Battalion, near- 1y halt of the time serving in the front line trenches. "Ever wince i came 'back from France," he continued, "my system had been very much rundown and 1 suffered consfantly from stomach drouble and indigestion.

"An uncle of mine who has taken Tanlac with fine results induced me to try it, and 1 sure am glad I took his advice. 1 have taken three bottles so far and I have a fine ap- petite now. 1 can eat anything 1 avant, T never have al bit of trouble with gas or Indigestion, and that awful pain in my stomach is gone too. I am picking up right along now, gaining in weight and strength every day and it certainly is a plea- sure to be able to sit down and en- Joy a good square meal once more without having to suffer for it af- ,gerwards.

Umbrella is a common noun, singu- lar number, neuter gender, silk or cot- ton case--as the case may be. It Is wise to have yours in the "possessive" ease also, If It Is a good umbrella, The word umbrella is derived from the Latin "umbra." meaning a shade or shadow. This does not wean that it Is exclusively a shade from the weather, but rather that you have not a shadow of x ¢haneq to get it back should you leave the tmbrella behind you any- where. Never leave an umbrella behind you, anyhow. Always keep it in front or beside you, where you can see it. Umbrellas were known to the early Saxons and to many of the late ones coming home from the lodge on wet nights, They joyfully seized any "gamps" they found lying around loose tn fhe hall stand. In Queen Anne's reign umbrellas were assigned exclusively to the use of women, but in all subsequent rains men have been using them, too. New silk umbrellas are particularly popular with humanity--especially on wet days. The most conscientious and scrupulous of men have been known to mistake nice, new umbrellas for their own faded and decrepit ones. Sometimes, In their temporary "fits of abstraction," they don't even ledve a substitute. Some umbrellas are waterproof and others not quite so. The rain runs off thé better kind and through the cheaper sort, + Nathing can be more depressing than ta Join a parade of umbrella holders in a heavy shower, hoping to be lm- mune from the rain, and geét.deluged with umbrella julce instead. Old and worn umbrellas may some- times be easily recovered, but if you wislay a good silk umbrella it Is very difficult to recover it. Some philoso pher has observed that the umbrella has religious tendencies, because it "keeps Lent" so easily. There are many ways of carrying the umbrella, but the most popular way-- because the most senseless--is to carry it under the arm horizontally. When vou do this in a crowd some are almost sure to notice it and tell you about it. They speak feelingly. too, if they happen to get the end of your umbrella in the stomach or hack, forgetting how much more serious it might be if they got it in the 'eye. Umbrellas that open automatically and yithout warning should be prohih- fted. Sometimes they develop most surprising vitality at unexpected times and 'In inconvenient places.

HAS ALL SEASONS] maxes pace oF reac eve Invention of French Oculist Invaluable to Soldiers Who Have Suffered Disfigurement. -- The high velocities and high explo siveness of the present-day projectiles often result in facial wounds of most horrible appearance, i the repair ef which the surgeons meet with extrem: 'diflicuities. Im particular, soldiers re turn from the line of fire not merely with an eye shot out, but with the vA tire lid and eye socket destroyed, 'and the absenice of these foundations har often made the lnsertion of an arti ficial eye impossible. Until the present moment there has never efisted any means for conceal ing this disfigurement and restoring to the unfortunase victim the appearance of a normal man possessing two eyes. But quite recently a French oculist. Henr{ Einius, has made it possible tc do this even when the eyelid is entire ly missing. ° In its essential features the apparatus consists of an artificial eye, equipped with a lid of any .convenlent plastic materigl--paraflin or molding paste colored to match the subject's com- plexion, This eye Is furnished also with lashes, to give to It to the fullest extent the appearance of a natural eye. It 'derives lis support from fine metal wires attached to eyeglass or spectacles, so adjusted that when the latter is placed upon the nose, the artificial eye falls accurately into its cavity. The eye mmy easily be sepa rated from these attachments for cleaning. BODY MAKES ITS OWN HEAT Comes as Natural Result of Chemical Changes Which Are Constan.ly Taking Place. £53 ny. Spe The Meat of our bodies is the direct result of the chemical changes whieh take place In all the tissues and or fans of the body. Brubacker's Physi ology says that "each contraction of a muscle, each act of secretion, each ex- hibition of nerve force 1s accompanied by the evolution of heat. "The chemical changes," it contin- ues, "are for the most part of the na- ture of oxidations, the union of oxygen with the elements, earbon and hydre- gen, of the food principles either bhe- fore or after they have become con- stituents of the tissues. "The ultimate source of the body heat is the latent or potential energy in the food principles, which was ab- sorbed. from the sun's emergy and stored up durlng the growth of the vegetable world." When the food-- whether this be directly vegetable oe vegetable .that has been transformed Into meat by being eaten by an ani- mal--Is digested in our bodies it Is "reduced by oxidation to relatively simple bodies," such as urea, carbon dioxide and water, with a liberation of 8 large portion of thelr contained en- ergy, which manifests itself as heat and mechanical motion."

MONDAY FORCED CHANGE: IN WARFARE Work of Daring Air Stouts Has Elimi. nated All Possibility of Sur. prise Attacks. The first war use of airplanes was for spying upon the enemy. Mounted patrols used to do this work. They would try to gain some height from which. they could look down upon the opposing army and size up its forces, writes A. Russell Bond in St. Nicholas. But the airplane proved far superior to any other form of scouting, because it gave the scout an unobstructed view of the surrounding country for miles and he could see just what' the enemy was doing. He could see whether large forces of men were collecting anywhere for a drive at some particu lar point. He could locate the artillery of the enemy and discover his weak spots. And so it carne along that there Was a complete changé in warfare. The surprise movements that used to play such an Important part in former days are a thing of the past. No general of today can expect fo spring 4 sur prise on the enemy as long gs there are enemy eyes in the sky. = Modern long-range guns are placed far behind the battlé lite. They may be as much as five or siz miles behind their own lines, well concealed in some wood or back of a Hill. The gunners cannot see what they are firlog upon, but their alm is directed by a spotter ln some. observation post, such as a captive balloon or a tall trée. But the best observation post is one that can take wing and soar over the enemy during a bombardment. From such a post the spotter can see just what his own artillery Is doing, and he can signal back when a shell goes beyond or falls short of the mark. Such alr planes are constantly prowling around in search of suspicious ebjects for the big guns to shoot at, NOT CALCULATED TO CHEER invitation to Prospective Soldiers to Rurchase Cemetery Lots Criticized Sas in Poor Taste. Down In south Jersey they are wide awake. The hour of the Jersey clocks had bot gode twice around the dial after 300 newly drafted men in a certain city had been called for physi. cal examination when the postman brought to each of them an invitation to buy a cemetery lot. - The invita- tion read as follows: "Which is the better time to con- sider a matter of this character? Now, when there is ample time for calm, deliberate selection, or later, perhaps, when there is nonecessity?

During quiet hours we play and joke. And we lke nothing better than some little pet--a dog or a cat, perhaps--to care for and look after, Cats are not uncommon in trench- land, 'many of them having been born and bred there, says Boys' Life, the boy scouts' magazine. or cat is actually taken from the trenches, it makes that sector its home, and is fed and cared for by the troops which come in to hold the line at that part. But a dog will: follow his unit about and soon becomes the friend of all, and quite an Important being in the regiment. Our little smooth-haired fox tervier had taken up his quarters in a strong redoubt near the front. The little dog would quake with fear on hearing a German shell fn the alr, hut after the explosion would run about as before, realizing that the danger was past. Poor little Warrior stayed In the trenches always. He would not follow the men out, but would settle down with the incoming unit.

POINT TO BIBLICAL PROPHECY Huns Claim That Russia's Collapse Was Foretold In Verse in the Book of Daniel. Quotations from the Bible and the use of the name of the Deity are fa- vorite methods of the kalser and his subjects for trying to justify theme selves for bringing on the world dis- aster. Now they have come forward with a verse from the Book of Daniel {to prove that a Biblical prophecy has come true In the collapse of the Rus- sian fighting forces, The verse Is: "And for the time thdt the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hun- dred and ninety days." The Germans point out that the period of 1,200 days corresponds with the period from August 1, 1914, when war. began between Germany and Rus- sla, and February 11, 1018, when it was announced that TrotzZky had de clared thé war at an end.
