Named La Dames Indomitable, After

In the charred village they call her
La Dame Indomitable. Not a bad
name for her, either. There is a great
gun in the French army called Indom-
itable. The enemy has trained its
heavy weapons on this giant cylinder
of destruction, `but old Indomitable

So there she stays. She has been
seen away up on the brow of the hill
looking down on the German held

to see it. She trudges along shell

it often is.

The eyes of the old lady glowed

she said. "Then, long after, he wrote

ART BY THE FOOT.
When Landscapes Could Be Ptirchased
By the Piece,
Hurry is not characteristic of 'ithe
present century alone; our anc4slors
were not always immune /vent the
habit. The Dutch artist Vander-
straaten, according to .a story from
Das Echo, was e. diaster in scheming
out short cute 'end saving time.
Vandeetttimaten had little difficulty,
it e-seY'1d, In painting in a day thirty
landscapes the size of an ordinary
sheet of drawing paper. He would
'surround himself with pots of paint,
each of which had its particular pur-
pose—one fttp�, the clouds, one for the
grass, one Per the shadows. When he
was ready to begin painting he called
to his assistant, "Boy, a cloud!" and
the lad speedily brought the desired
pot. Vanderstraaten, with a thick
brush, quickly transferred the clouds
to the canvas. With the finishing
strokes he called, "There are the
clouds; bring the grass!" And so it
Went, without a moment's waste of
time, until the thirty landscapes were
finished. ...
- On occasions Vanderstraaten would
paint in the manner described a
landscape upon a long piece of can-
vas. In filling the orders of custom-
ers he would cut the strip into pieces
of various lengths, A purchaser
could buy two, three or four feet of
landscape, according to his fancy or
according to the size of the space he
wished to decopate.

AR'CIFICIAL LEATHER.
Manufacture of Substitutes Has
Made Vast Strides of Late.
Within the last ten years the manu-
facture of substitutes for leather has
become an important industry, al-
though the general public knows little
or nothing about it. The chief in-
gredient of the substitutes is cotton.
According to the Textile Journal, the
base is a roll of cotton cloth, varying
from thin muslin to drills and even
heavier materials. The cotton cloth
is covered with a paste that varies in
every factory, but that requires gun-
cotton, oil, acetanilide, lead colors and
other chemicals. On the top of that is
put a very thin celluloid dressing, and
when t:.e artificial leather is complet-
ed it is put through steel rollers that
impress a grain upon it to imitate
whatever kind of leather it is desired
to represent. The finished material
gets about three fourths of its weight
from the cotton. Some of the articles
made from artificial leather are belts,
suit cases, trunks, slippers, pocket-
books, grip handles, suspender endo
and similar trimmings, toilet rolls,
fancy leather goods and sweatbands
for 'hats. Itis also used in bookbind-
ing, Shoe factories have taken it up •
for inner soles, although, substitutes
for top leather and. most other shoe
leather are still in the experimental
stage. But the largest use is found
in automobile factories and cheap fur-
niture factories for upholstery. The
consumption of leather substitutes
has so far been chiefly domestic, but
exports are increasing, Although the
present scarcity of leather has no
doubt helped_ to promote the industry;
the low price of the substitute is tend-
ingto expand the use of it. Leather
to -day costs about twice • as much as
it cost two years ago. Imitation lea-
ther sells for about a third as much
as real leather.

A GERMAN BATTLE HUN.
Which Reveals the Savage Nature of
the Teuton People.
If we wish to know the spirit in
which a people make war, we go, not
to the guarded and formal epeeehes of
its public men, but to the some that
the poets write and the soldiers singi
they come glowing from the 'red-hot
futnaco of emotion that sustains the
power of the nation. It is illuminating
therefore, to read this translation of
a battle song that was fount on a
German soldier taken . prisoner in
Italy. Mr. William Roscoe Thayer,
the historian of Italy, has made it
public on this side of the water,
The song le worthy of the age when
the ancestors of the modern Germans
burst out of the gloomy forests of
the ,north to overthrow an. earlier
Italian civilization. It is primeval,
savage; it tells us what the Germans
themselves think of their diplomatists'
assertion that, this was for them a
"war of defense." If our readers wish
to see what wide contrasts there may
he between the war spirits of great
nations at war, let them, after reading
this, read Mrs. Howe's Battle Hymn
of the Republic.
Son of Germany in arms: Forward!
This is the hour of joy and glory.
Oh, our artillerist, thy powerful
cannon, thine invulnerable brother,
calls thee; was it not made to renew
the world?
Oh, our rifleman, beholds thou art
the force that wins; wherever thou
penetratest is Germany.
Oh, our cavalryman, spur, attack,
overthrow! let thy will spur on thy
horse like a winged victory. That
cowardly flesh (the Italians) is made
to manure the fields, which shall be
thine and thy sons'.
Son of Germany in arms, the great
hour has come,
Life does not finish, it passes on and
is transformed without rest; the life
of the conquered is absorbed by the,
conqueror; the life of the slain belongs
to the slayer; see then how thou
canst gather on the breast of thy holy
fatherland the life of the world.
Do not bend to womanish pity to-
ward women and children; the child
of the conquered has often been the
conqueror to -morrow; and what will
victory avail if revenge comes to-
morrow? What sort of ,a father
wouldst thou be if thou shouldst kill
thy enemy and shouldst leave alive
the enemy of thy son?
Son of Germany in arms, forward!
Fulminate, shatter, beat down, trans-
fix, devastate, burn, KILL, KILL,
KILLI
The hour of glory opens for us.

t III6NCif Fri/lit AND SHOCK,
Two of the 'gars Most Diliioult Medi-
cal Problems,
Trench fever and shell shook are
the` two most difficult problems that
this war has presented to medical
eelence, according to a report issued
by a British -American medical com-
miesion which recently has been sit-
ting in London,,
Cases of'ttench fever worn report-
ed from France ag early as 1915, and
the disease has been continually
studied ever since, but the organism
which causes it has not been discov
Bred, nor has any drug been found
for its suceessful treatment. The
American army doctors believe that
i they have definitely established that
trench fever is communicated by a
body louse, a fact which has been
repeatedly suspected by the British
investigators also.
The fact that the disease is grow-
ing more prevalent, and is spreading
from the trenches to the bach areas,
is also noted in the report. The
original cases were all among troops
in the trenches, but the disease is
now prevalent on various lines of
communication and at the bases. Even
hospital orderlies Old nurses are oc-
casional victims.
1 The 'actual crux of the discussion
Iseems to be whether trench fever is
R disease of man transmitted by the
louse, or some disease among lice
themselves which is transmisiblo to
men, If the latter, the cure would
seem to be the eradication of lice, a
gigantic and almost hopeless task in
wartime. If the former, the dis
semination of the' disease comes
down to a control of the human car-
riers, and is probably an easier. task,
The commission recommends energetic
action in the direction of greater per-
sonal cleanliness, which will also con-
tribute greatly to the general com-
fort and health of the troops.
„ There are two kinds of tea: ordin-
ary tea and Salada. Salada Is more
economical since it takes so.much less
to make a satisfying infusion.

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a cord -can shortly be lift-
ed right out with the fingers if you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost ono can get a small
bottle of freezone at any drugstore,
which will positively rid one's..feet of
every corn or callus without pain or
soreness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether com-
pound, and dries the moment it is ap-
plied and does not inflame or even ir-
ritate the surrounding tissue. Just
think! You can Iift off your corns and
calluses now without a bit of pain or
soreness. If your druggist hasn't
freezone he can easily get a small bot-
tle for you from his wholesale drug
house.
WILL MAKE SAUSAGE.
British Food Ministry Opens Plant for
Utilization of All Meat Offal.
The Ministry of food is going into
the sausage business, says a• London
correspondent. An official sausage
factory will shortly be opened under
the control of the department for the
manufacture of various kinds of neat
products which do not come within
the rations.
The intention is to put on the mar-
ket attractive foods made from by-
products of the slaughter house which
have been simply Wasted—at any rate,
in the south' of England—but, which
are staple foods on the Continent.
Various kinds of sausages will be
manufactured, in which kinds of offal
that are not in the meat schedule will
be used, as well as black puddings.
.Tho factory is situated in Liverpool
,Road, Islington. It formerly was the
property of Appenrodts, who ran a
string of delicatessen stores in the
West End.
The concernlwili be managed by a
company called the National Meat
Products, Limited. The directors of
the company will be nominated by
Lord Rhondda. The company has
been registered with a capital of $25
in 100 shares of twenty-five cents
each and
a called upcapital'
of fifty
Cents. A Treasury grant has been
given, but it is to be repaid out of
profits, and all the profits made are
to be put. into the business. The di-
t•eotoi's include the meat experts of
the Ministry.
Every slaughter house in the coun-
try is now under the control of the,
Ministry of II'ood, so there will bo lit -
tie diffiouity in supplying all the wants
of the factory,
In some pasts of the north of Eng•
land there are already factories of the
kind, Thera Is a Model 000 at Air-
reittghafn, but,in the south of the
country such foods have been despised
until the coming Into force of the ra-
