It Isn’t the City, ‘Its You.’
If you want to make the city.
The kind of a city you like,
You needn’t slip your clothes in a
grip
And start on a long, long hike.
You will only find what you left be
hind,
For there’s practically nothing new,
Its a knock at yourself when you
knock our city.
It isn’t the city, ‘Its you!”
Real cities are not made by men
afraid,
We shall all have to get out ana
work
For the things that we want, and, if
this is done,
A city could be raised from the deaw.
No doubt you will make a few mis
takes.
Your neighbors have made some
thats true,
But your city will be what you want
it to be.
It isn’t the city, ‘Its you!”
W. N. Meggs
Come on writer, get in the game,
It will not take you long,
Here’s a way to win fame,
Get busy and tell what is wrong.
It’s an excellent way to break into
print.
With a chance to air your views.
It’s a game that doesn’t cost a cent,
And there’s nothing for you to loose.
Just open your eyes and look around,
Of conditions begin to take stock.
No doubt a lot of things can he found
That will give you a chance to knock.
What is.our cities greatest need?
And how can that need be supplied?
Tf our town from evil is to be freed.
Bray tell us what remedy be tried.
Jhen come to our aid. O! Scribes,
,,r c have certainly gone to the bad.
’’’on’t wait, but launch your diatribes,
^or such is now the fad.
AA hen all the evils have been cor
rected.
And all our relations are prim and
nreHse,
Then Florence is bound to be so
lected
As the nearest thing to Paradise.

The White Star liner Olympic holds
the war record as a transport, having
transported 300,000 persons, mostly
soldiers, safely since 1914. It was the
Olympic that tried to tow the British
warship Audacious Into port after the
latter had hit a mine. The Olympic
took troops tq Gallipoli, brought Chi
nese labor battalions to France and
since Christmas, 1917, until the armis
tice was signed, carried American
troops.
The Olympic, while carrying TT. S.
soldiers during March, April and May,
was seven times attacked by U-boats,
but not once did the enemy have time
to launch a torpedo, owing to the
sharp lookout kept and the wonderful
seamanship of Captain Hayes, her
commander, and work of the destroj*
ers. The Olympic was armed with six-
inch guns and used them effectively
against U-boats. J
The vessel is not without war scars,
having bent some of her plates in
ramming a U-boat, from which 28 mem
bers of the crew were made prisoner.
This occurred in the early morning of
a day last May, when a U-boat that
carried a crew of 60 awaited in the*
semidarkness to torpedo the American
troopship. The Olympic whirled about,
almost like a racing yacht, and made
for the U-boat, slicing off Us nose. A
six-inch shell was planted in the re
mainder of the craft as It drifted past.
By the light of star shells a destroyer
picked up 31 Germans, three of whom
died.

CURIOSITY CAUSES FIRE
Man Applies a Match to See If Coal
Oil Will Burn.
Inquisitiveness on the part of an
employee of the Grand Trunk Railway
company, who applied a match to a
pool of coal oil "to see if it would
burn,” was responsible for the confla
gration which wiped out the freight
sheds, offices and 28 loaded and un
loaded cars of the company at Ottawa,
Can., with a total loss of $112,000.
Henry Daoust, a freight handler,
who appeared at the Investigation
proceedings with his face badly burn
ed and one of his hands swathed in
bandages, frankly told how he had
come to start the blaze. He said he
had noticed a pool of liquid on the
floor of the freight shed, close to a
number of barrels which had been
shipped in fropi the inland revenue de
partment.
He did not know what the liquid
was, but was curious to see whether
It would burn. He applied a match
with the result that the liquid bnrst
into a blue flame. Almost immediate
ly an explosion occurred, which hurled
him backward.
FOCH LEARNS TO SMOKE
Now Thoroughly Enjoys pood Briar
Pipe Bought From English Firm.
Marshal Foch has acquired the Eng
lish habit of smoking. The French do
not smoke pipes. Day by day Marshal
Foch saw Field Marshal Haig and oth
er British generals in the vortex of
the war calmly doing their work be
hind good, big-bowled briar pipes.
Foch asked Haig what it was like to
smoke a pipe. He bought one. He filled
It under cafeful British military in
struction. He began the attempt with
energy and purposeful determination,
but at first smoked more matches than
tobacco. Now, however, he has mas
tered It and thoroughly enjoys a good
briar which he has bought from an
English firm.

Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to Eat
Less Meat and Take Salts
Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure states a well known author!
ty. We are advised to dress warm
iy; keep the feet dry; avoid expo
Mijre; eat less meat, but drink plenty

Rheumatism is a direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is .he
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the, blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
'ilns impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the sk>n pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
| work, they become weak and sluggish
hud fail to eliminate the uric acid
I which keeps accumulating and drew
ilating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles
causing stiffness, soreness and pain
called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
tget front any pharmacy about four
Ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful in a glass of water and drink be
tore breakfast eacli morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus ridding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results hy
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism.
