GREAT LAND !S ARGENTINA
People and Resources Will Place li
In the Front Rank of South Amer
?can Republics.
The great landowners come to
Buenos Aires and spend their money
lipon the glittering boulevards, and
this makes the city an abnormal one,
and in a sense a false guide to the
characteristics of the people and the
country, says a writer In tho Christian
Herald. Argentina, however, is slow
ly, but surely gathering to herself,
out of the polyglot nations of Europe,
which compose her, a spirit and in
dividuality of her own as free and
unique as is the air of her boundless
I prairies. At present she resembles
more truly the Old World than does
the United States, which has had
:inuch longer time r uevelop to a par
ticular civilizatiou all her own; yet
.you can hardly insult an Argentino
more readily than to suggest Buenos
Aires as merely a copy or tinseled im
itation of a European capital. He
sees in it his own expression, and
although he will tell you that to
know the country correctly the North
American must read the history of
the United States 50 years ago, he is
.nevertheless deeply confident that
Argentina has a future quite differ
ent from either the United States or
,a European nation, or any other South
American state. The longer one re
mains in the country, the more surely
he will be inclined to agree with the
inhabitant of this great land, where
are being gathered forces of popula
tion in an agricultural area nearly
half as big as the United States, pos
sessing resources in many senses more
uniform and prolific than are to be
found in any other one commonwealth
on the face of the earth.
MAY BE CLUB-FOOTED RACE
Humanity Said to Be Tending Toward
a Condition by No Means to
Be Desired.
That the human race is slowly
evolving toward a condition of club
footedness is suggested by Dr. Truman
Abbe of Washington in the Medical
Record. Doctor Abbe points to the
horse's hoof and its evolution from the
five-toed foot of the prehistoric horses,
by tlie dropping of one toe after an
other and the consolidation of the
boues from the knee down.
"When we look at the human skele
ton and compare the bone of the tibia
and fibula and the digits beyond each
of them," he continues, "it does not
take much imagination to se? suggest
ed in the slender fibula and the dimin
utive little toes an early stag 5 in the
reduction process, which if carried
further would lead to a diminution of
the number of toes on man's foot."
And he closes his article with these
words: "We come thus to the sug
gestion of club-foot as a tendency to
ward the dropping of the post-axial
digit group of the lower limb. And
this dropping of a digit group would
seem to be due to restricted develop
ment in the central nervous system
a factor that has been at work since
before the days of tho five-toed horse."
"A Stone to His Memory."
That there is bound to be ambiguity
in the terms of a will is almost ns well
known among lawyers of this city as
is the way to the Hall of Boc? ?rds in
Chambers street, where the wills are
probated. But the queer kinks which
some individuals with more guile than
conscience put into the aforesaid tes
taments famish fresh entertainment
every day for the profession.
Recently it was tho executor of a
small estate who entered Hie oilice of
a lawyer to get an opinion. His
friend had died without close kin, he
said, and had made him executor. In
the terms of the will there had been
provision made for a monumeut to be
erected for the dead man at a cost
not to exceed S500.
"That's what I wanted to see you
about," confided the client. "You see,
thc will provided for a 'stone to his
memory.' Tve already gotten the stone
and I, want to see if you think the
whole thing's legal."
And turning his right hand over
upon the table the executor flashed be- ,
fore the eyes of the lawyer the stone
in question-a beautiful $500 blue- ]
white diamond.-New York Herald, i
London Coffee-House Founder Dead. |
In the death of Sir Joseph Lyons |
there passes away the man who did
more than anybody else to revolution
ize the catering business of London.
Before the time when he threw down
the brush and easel in favor of a
business career the "coffee-house" as
now constituted was unknown in Lon
don. City workers had either to lunch
at one of the numerous bars or pay
the exorbitant prices charged at the
hotels. To the thousands of women
workers the establishment of the mod
ern tea shop has come as a great boon,
for before that time there was no ac
commodation for this class of society.
In his later days Sir Joseph spent a
good deal of his time at Brighton, and
was ofteu to be seen on the front
wearing the uniform of an honorary
colonel of the Territorial force.-Dun
dee Advertiser.

That's What John Bunyon Johnson,
the Weil-Known Automobile
Salesman, Ssys of Martin's
Liver Medicine
One of the latest to add his un
qualified endorsement tu Martin's
Liver Medicine is John Bunyon
Johnson, of Macon, Ga. In a letter.
dated August 25, 1917, he says:
"It affords me pleasure to report
that I have taken Martin's Liver
Medicine and obtained most desir
able results. Martin's Liver Medi
cine is pleasant to the taste, does
not gripe nor inconvenience the
taker in any way. It acts positively
and yet gently upon the liver and it
is my opinion that it is superior to
any liver medicine sold."
Martin's Liver Medicine is strictly
vegetable in ingredients, contains
no poisonous calomel, is pleasant to
take and is sold with the standing
guarantee that if it does not give
the effect desired, the empty bottle
can be returned to the ?rug store
and the 50c paid for it. will be re
funded. As a medicine for consti
pation, sick headache cr other liver
and stomach troubles. Martin's
Liver Medicine is without a peer.
Sold by druggists everywhere.
