. TO PAY THE GUARD
Uncle Sam to Be Paymaster tor
State Militia.
Proposition Receives Unanimous Ap
proval of Senate Committee—
Will Help Solve Problem of
Military Unpreparedness.
By EDWARD B. CLARK.
Correspondent Western Newspnper
Union.)
^Vashington.—The senate committee
on military affairs has given favora
ble and unanimous report to a bill
which will make Uncle Sam in part
the paymaster of the national guards
men of all the states in the Union.
This means that every Republican
and Democrat holding membership in
the committee is in favor of paying
the state troops out of the funds in the
United States treasury for the actual
military work which they perform.
Army men hold that this will increase
largely the efficiency of the National
Guard, will help solve the problem of
military preparedness and will largely
increase the enlistments In the mili
tary organizations or all the states.
This federal pay bill for the militia
may not become a law at this ses
sion, but members of congress seem
to think that its passage virtually is
certain in the near future. Under
this bill the enlisted men in the guard
will be paid 25 per cent of the pay of
a man of their rank in the regular
service, but of course the money will
be given them only for the hours in
which they are engaged in necessary
military duties, drill, book instruction
and the like.
For years the officers of the Na- '
tional Guard from nearly every state 1
s have been advocating this measure, j
The government s division of militia !
affairs in the war department has rec- I
ommended it time after time. Con-!
gress was opposed to it, but recently I
seemingly there has been a complete
change of sentiment, the vote in the 1
senate committee showing this conclu
sively for it has been said every Deni- j
ocrat and every Republican in the com-1
mittee gave the measure his sanction. ;
Regular army officers and guards
men alike have urged that nearly all
men when they are paid to do a thing,
no matter how small the payment may j
be, feel an obligation to do it. They
say that drill attendance will be in-!
creased largely, that interest in the ;
guards’ work will be keener and that

| flip relations between the state troopB
and the regular troops will be closer
than ever. In truth the unanimous
vote of the senate on this bill and the
approval which has been expressed of
the measure go to show seemingly
that this legislation is considered to
bo one means of making the country
more thoroughly prepared to defend
Itself if the occasion ever should arise
when defense will be necessary.
GIRL IS VICTIM OF GOSSIP
Sent to Home for Friendless After
Death of Woman She Thought
Her Mother.
I"a Crosse, Wis.—Fifteen years ago
Mr. and Mrs. Fred West decided their
childless home was incomplete and
they resolved to ndopt a baby. A
little girl, one month old, was taken
by the couple, and upon her Mrs
W est proceeded to lavish a mother's
love and devotion. The girl was
named Hazel West.
Two weeks ago Mrs. West died and
the child, heartbroken over her loss,
heard neighbors whisper that she was
not Mrs. West's child. For the first
time the girl learned she did not
know who her parents were. Unable
to stand remarks made concerning
her birth, the girl appeared before
Judge Brindley.
Inasmuch as she had never been
legally adopted, the girl was sent to
the home of the friendless.
“HOLD THE FORT” MAN DIES

POISON LOVED ONES
Heroic French Girls’ Tragedy
Thrills All France.
Kill Their Husbands When They Find
Latter, Who Were German Born,
Planned to Poison Garrison
With Arsenic.
Paris.—How two little French girls
poisoned the husbands they loved, to
save the life of an entire garrison has
just, been made known in Paris, and it
has created a tremendous sensation.
Hose and Marie Dupont, two eight
eon-year-old twins were born at Ville
rupt, a small village on the Lorraine
frontier. In 1912 they married two
students of chemistry, named Ulrich
and Wilhelm, w ho loved them so much
that they became French citizens and
bought a drug store In the town.
Hoth unions were most happy until
July 29 of last year, when the hus
bands received a letter from across
the frontier. Immediately both be
came very nervous and asked the two
girls to go t.» their grandmother's
home in Longwy until the situation
cleared.
Poth went to Longwy, but found
that their grandmother was not
there. They returned very late the
next day to Villerupt.
When they arrived at the drug store
they found it e osecl. Going through
the back garden they peered through
the closed shmters and saw their
husbands, to th^lr great amazement,
talking in quite ji friendly manner to,
two uhlans in full uniform.
They could not believe their eyes
at first, but they were horrified later
nt the conversation they heard
A deep plot hatf been arranged by
Ulrich and Wilhelm. They had stored
a big dose of strychnine and during
th' night It was planned to drop It in
the wine casks reserved for the French
garrison.
Are you sure the dose Is strong
enough!" asked one of the uhlans.
"Why" answe‘ed Ulrich, "it is
strong enough to kill all the garrison
and its reserves."
With a low cr} Hose shuddered and
almost fainted Moth realized they
had been fooled, and that Instead of
being hived th#-y were the wives of
the worst of scoundrels and even
worse than tha* traitors,
"We must act," said Marie, "to pre
vent thin most awful crime, even If we
must commit one ourselves,"
Half an h jut later they rang the
front door hell. They appeared very
Joyous and explained their elation by
saying thoy had heard the war had
been averted
They said they were so glad that
they wanted to open some wine In
honor of pearc* and the friendly uhlan
soldier?
Marie went out and brought back
a champagne bottle. She poured the
liquor and they drunk it.
Next morning they ran out of the
house. They were widows, for they
themselves had used the poison.
They went straight to the chief de
gendarmes and told him of their sorry
Plight.
"We have killed our husbands,*’ they
cried. Do what is right with us.*’
Hut the official simply wept with
them and kissed them, for it was found
that the plot had been deeply laid and
that the sacrifice of the girls, which
has no precedent in history, had saved
thousands of Prench troops from cer
tain death.
Marie and Rose have been critically
ill and for two months were hovering
between Jlfe and death, and It was
feared they would lose their reason,
but they have recovered, and are now
Red Cross nurses.
In caring for the wounded they are
trying to forget their terrible life
drama.

MUST BEPROTECTED
Propsr Tariff Duties Would Es
tablish Industry.
Wise Legislation Must Do Its Part To
ward the Creation of an Addi
tional Source of Wealth to
the United States.
Higher tariff protection, according
to the report of a committee of the
American Chemical society. Is abso
lutely needed. The present duty of
30 per cent ad valorem on imported
dyes has been In force many years,
but it has not created an American
coal-tar industry. The committee
holds that a specific duty of 7 Vi cents
a pound must be added to the 30 per
cent ad valorem to give real pro
tection. The small specific duty
would Bhut out the cheap dyes which
are bo largely used here, while the 30
per cent duty would be sufficient, as
now, on high-priced dyes.
There is plenty of raw material
produced in this country, the present
production of coal tar being sufficient
for supplying the textile industries
with dyestuffs. Hut the industry can
not be established here without bet
ter tariff protection. The problem is
whether the public 1b willing to pay
for controlling its own sources—for in
the long run the cost would fall on
the general public. Textile manufac
turers, naturally enough, have always
opposed raising the duty on dyes. It
is an interesting question whether
their present difficulties, including
their lack of many desired colors, and
much higher prices for those they do
obtain, will work a change of mind in
them. The conclusion of the debate
is that we can have a coal-tar In
dustry if we want to make the neces
sary changes. For a decision, it is
necessary that the public should know
what changes are required, and that
these concern almost exclusively the
tariff, and the matter of co-operation
among the color makers. — Boston

Our "Ignoble Peace."
They (Wilson and Bryan) take the
view that when we are asked to redeem
iu the concrete promises we made in
the abstract our duty is to disregard
our obligations and to preserve ignoble
peace for ourselves by regarding with
cold-blooded and timid indifference the
most frightful ravages of war commit
ted at the expense of a peaceful and
unoffending country. This is the cult
of cowardice. That President Wilson
and Mr. Bryan profess it and put it in
action would be of small consequence
if only they themselves were con
cerned The importance of their ac
tion is that it commits the United
States.—Theodore Roosevelt in the In
dependent.
A Mind With No Sidetracks.
W hy is it that the administration
will persist in following certain ideas
when every available scrap of infor
mation as to them indicates that they
are wrongly conceived? The official
attitude towards Mexico has been a
mistaken one from the beginning.
The cotton-loan pool was opposed by
hard-headed bankers wIiobo business
it is to know economic conditions;
the ship-purchase bill is opposed by
business interests th* country over.
The fact that the cotton-loan plan
would help the administration out of
a difficult political situation was not
a sound reason for forcing that plan
on the bankers.—Buffalo Express.
The President to Business.
In his speech to the American Elec
tric Railway association at Washing
ton President Wilson said:
"It seems to me that 1 can say with
a good deal of confidence that we are
upon the eve of a new era of enter
prise and of prosperity."
The president has been saying this
for more than a year. Indeed, he has
gone much further; he said that the
era of prosperity had arrived and that
the blindness to It was purely psycho
logical. Apparently he was mistaken
in his former utterances. The amend
ment is accepted with hopes thnt the
new guess may come out true.
When the Mists Will Blow Away.
The president seems to have hnd an
other vision of the good time coming,
says the Baltimore American. In his
speech at the Electric Railway conven
tion he declared, ‘‘I feel thnt the mists
and the iniaainic airs of suspicion that
have filled the business world have
now blown away." Well, the mists
and the miasma will doubtless blow
away eventually—say along about thrt
first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November of next year.
Psychological Money Unacceptable.
"There’s nothing the matter with
American business except a state of
mind,'1 says Mr. Wilson. "If you are
going to buy it, buy It now." Yes, but
the trouble Is the storekeeper won’t
accept psychological money.
Makes Friends Grieve.
It becomes clearer from day to day
that the speech recently mnde at In
dianapolis by President Wilson is one
which makes his most judicious
friends grieve and vainly wish It had
not been spoken. Unfortunately for
President Wilson, he seems to have
near him and In his confidence no
sagacious and competent adviser In
such matters, or, what is probably ,he
case, he is so convinced of his own
aelf-snfflciency. If not infallibility, at
to be incapable of soeking or receiv
ing counsel.—Hartford Courant
MEAT CLOGS KIDNEYS
THEN YOUR BACK HURTS
Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
ney* If Bladder Bother* You—
Drink. Lots of Water.
No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally, says a
well-known authority. Meat form*
uric acid which excites the kidneys,
they become overworked from the
strain, get sluggish and fail to filter
tho waste and poisons from the blood,
then we get sick. Nearly all rheu
matism, headaches, liver trouble, ner
vousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and
urinary disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, stop
eating meat and get about four ounces
of Jad Salts from any pharmacy; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast and In a few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fa
mous salts Is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with litbia, and has been used for
generations to flush and stimulate the
kidneys, also to neutralize the acids
in urine so it no longer causes Irrita
tion, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithia-water drink which everyone
should take now and then to keep the
kidneys clean and active and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.—Adv.
OWNER EXPECTED TOO MUCH
Borrowing Neighbor Considered He
Had Done His Fair Share in
the Transaction.
A few days ago saw Ol McMahon
borrowing a hatchet or other imple
ment to drive or draw nails at Sher
man's hardware store, says the To
ronto (Kan.) Republican. And that
brought to inind a "borrowing” story
of Uncle Ol:
A great number of years ago Her
bert Lockard owned one of the few
two-section harrows hereabout. Uncle
Ol was farming some, and went up to
borrow it. Herbert always would loan
anything he had, but he wanted it
brought home. So he waited a rea
sonable time for the harrow to be
brought back, and finally, having to
use It, went after it. As he drovq along
he began to get roiled over the thought
of going after his own harrow,
and by the time he got it loaded
into his wagon was downright mad
Said he: "Ol, I thought you was neigh
bor enough to bring home what you
borrowed.”
"Bring it home!” shouted Ol, with
a great show of indignation; "bring it
home! Why, heavens to Betsy, man,
I went after it! How much do you
expect of a neighbor, anyhow?”
Chocolates In Fashion.
Matinee girls make and break fash
ions in confectionery, and\. just now
there is a deadly set toward chocolates
of all kinds. Time was when the
chocolate cream was every girl’s ideal
of luscious delight. Then came days
when bonbons ruled and when the
clever girl behind the candy counter
slipped only a small proportion of
chocolates into a box of assorted
sweets. But chocolate has come to its
own again. Perhaps this is why
Georgle Cohan introduced a touching
Rcene in his play, “Hello, Broadway.”
You see, the girl he is in love with
makes an awful discovery. And oh.
how she raves when the secret comes
out! She finally throws Georgle over
becnuse he confesses he’s a chocolate
fiend. "Oh, double O!” she again
raves. "Ain’t it awful, and to think I
always thought he was a perfect gen
tleman.”

THE DOCTOR’S WIFE
Agrees With Him About Food.
A trained nurse says: “In the prac
tice of my profession I have found so
many points in favor of Grape-Nuts
food that I unhesitatingly recommend
it to all my patients.
"It is delicate and pleasing to the
palate (an essential in food for the
sick) and can be adapted to all ages,
being softened with milk or cream for
babies or the aged when deficiency of
teeth renders mastication impossible.
For fever patients or those on lltpild
diet I find Grape-Nuts and albumen
water very nourishing and refreshing.
"This recipe Is my own idea and In
made as follows: Soak a teaspoonful
of Grape-Nuts In a glass of water for
an hour, strain and serve with the
beaten white of an egg and a spoonful
of fruit Juice for flavouring} This af
fords a great deal of nourishment that
even the weakest stomach can assimi
late without any distress.
“My husband Is a physician and he
uses Grape-Nuts himself and orders It
many times for his patients.
“Personally I regard a dish of Grape
Nuts with fresh or Btewcd fruit as the
ideal breakfast for anyone—well or
sick.”
In stomach trouble, nervous prostra
tion, etc., a 10-day trial of Grape-Nuts
will usually work wonders toward
nourishing and rebuilding and in this
way end the trouble. Name given by
