IN ENGLAND
HERE IS SHOWN THE TRAGEDY
OF .WAR.
The Stridents Have Gone Forth to
Fight the Battles of
Liberty.
The actual battle line in this great
struggle is scarcely 100 miles away,
but in London one gets little touch
of the real tragedy of it, writes Philip
H. Patchin, in the Chicago Herald.
In the streets there are many sol-
diers, often one sees wounded men
strolling about in the loose bhie
hospital uniforms with flaming red
cravats or being driven about in
motor cars or carriages by kind wo-
men, but these men of battle are a
jolly lot and they do not bring home
the tragedy of it all.
England suffers, but her wounds
are not open ones, like those of BeI-
gium. But there are evidences of
what it all means and how vital it
is. A few days ago I was taken to
Cambridge University by a don of
one of the colleges there. There the
trtith came home. There was the
evidence—the prod of what England
was doing.
Town is Deserted.
Beautiful Cambridge! The ancient
cradle of British learning is deserted.
Streets, courts, and buildings that
should be echoing the glad ring of
college life are empty. The thou-
sands of young Britons who should
be there are gone, departed to the
four quarters of the Globe, to fight
in England's numerous wars—in
Flanders, in the near east, Africa,
Mesopotamia.
It is like an American University
in summer—deserted; but With a
difference. There are enough stu-
dents and instructors left to make
the thing more poignant, to suggest
what was and what ought to be, and
what really is.
The presence of the few, the' ab-
sence of the massy—it strikes one
with dreadful force.
In all Cambridge University, in
the various colleges that 'make up
the whole, there should be 4,000
undergraduates. There are 600. The
rest of these boys, tiffany of them
barely of military age, are in khaki.
Many of them are dead.
Buildings Are Quaint.
On this day I had visited half a
dozen of the famous colleges of
Cambridge—Corpus, Trinity, Christ's,'
Jesus', King's—beautiful old world
places, entrancing in their antiquity,
splendid in their architecture, but
best in their atmosphere of British
breeding—of things clean and fine.
And as we walked on from one
place to another, in grandeur nixed
with antiquity and quaintness, the
place was empty. No punts on the
Cam, no undergraduates strolling
about—athletic, fields showing dis-
use. We went into the buildings—
empty. Gate porters let us in here
and there. They were the only people
we saw. Windows closed everywhere Wrong food and dr

Private Keighley, a. Canadian. It
was found afterwards that the mouth -
organ bore the legend, "Made in

"One bullet went clean through my
pocket, struck my notebook, and
stayed there. I have it still, It was
my first hit, and so T have kept it ar
a souvenir." Thus wrote an officer
from Flanders some time ago and the
incident is typical of many occasions
when men have been saved from
death and disablement by some ob-
ject they were carrying about their
person.
Not very long ago, a private in the
dth East Yorkshire Regiment . was

no other harm was done. A Lanca-
shire soldier was also saved by a cig-
arette -tin and a penny in his breast

who will vouch for me. I am able to
do my day's work as well now as I
could ten years ago."
Dodd's Kidney Pills are no cure-all.
They simply cure the Kidneys.
BITS ABOUT BEASTS
They All Have Their Own Little Pe-
- culiarities.
You think you know something
about animals, eh? Well, let us pub
your knowledge to a few simple tests.
Frogs, to -begin with. Can they
breathe with their mouths shut?
Certainly they can. As a matter of
fact, they always do. If they kept
their mouths open, they would suf-
focate.
Next, hares. When do they close
their eyes? Answer, never. You
see, they havn't any eyelids, so they
can't But they have a thin mem-
brane, which performs the service of
eyelids when they are asleep.
The stormy, blustery weather which
we have during February and March
is extremely hard on children. Con-
ditions make it necessary for the
mother to keep them in the house

Persian Grain.
The great arid wastes of Persia
would lead one to believe that the
country does not produce sufficient
grain to supply the needs of its pop-
ulation. Such, however, is not the
case, and considerable quantities of
grain are exported each year. The
principal grains grown are wheat,
barley and rice. Corn is planted in
small quantities, but is only used for
roasting ears. Oats and rye are sel-
dom sown. Except along the Cas-
pian coast Persian agriculture is de-
pendent almost entirely on irrigation.
The agricultural implements used in
Persia are of the most primitive kind.
Plows are made from forks of small
tres with the addition of a share of
iron. It is stated to be doubtful, how-
ever, whether the yield of grain
would be greatly increased by using
modern plows, as there is no sod and
this crude implement seems to stir
the soil fairly well.

1b will be recalled that on the mor..

stories of the aspect of certain Ger-
man unwounded corpses, says London
Tit -Bits. Death as been so instan-
baneous that the bodies remained in
a lifelike posture, some shouldering
a rifle, others pipe in mouth. In a
communication made to the Academy
of Medicine, M. Rene Arnnoux asserts
that the phenomena was due to the
efficacy of the French explosives.
Within a 15 -yard radius of the point
where the shell explodes the displace-
ment of the air is so intense as to
destroy the equilibrium of pressure on
the interior and exterior of the human
body. The gas contained in the blood
is thus liberated, causes a distension
of the blood vessels and arteries, and,
ultimately bursting those organs, in-
duces sudden death. This argument
is confirmed by the state of the
bodies, which often showed the heart
and liver greatly distended and nu-
merous internal hemorrhages.

A Change of Food Works Wonders.

wear eyeglasses who do not really need
them. If you are one of these unfortun
atom, then these glasses may be ruining
your eyes instead of helping them.
Thousands who wear these "windows"
may prove for themselves that they can
dispense with glasses if they will get
the following prescription filled at once:
Go to any active drug store and get a
bottle of Bon-Opto tablets; fill a two -
ounce bottle with warm water and drop
in one Bon -Onto tablet. '.Vith this harm-
less liquid solution bathe the eyes two
to four times daily, and you are likely
to be astonished at the results right
from the start. Many who have been
told that they have astigmatism, eye-
strain, cataract, sore eyelids, weak eyes,
conjunctivitis and other eye disorders
report wonderful benefits from the use
of this prescription. Get this prescrip-
tion filled and use it; you may so
strengthen your eyes..that glasses will
not be necessary. Thousands who are
blind, or nearly so, or who wear glasses
might never have required them if they
had cared for their eyes in time. Save •
your eyes before it is too late! Do not
become one of these victims of neglect.
Eyeglasses are only like crutches and
every few years they must be changed
to fit the ever-increasing weakened con-
dition, so better see if you can, like
many others, get clear, healthy, strong
magnetic eyes through the prescription
here given. If your own druggist can-
