PRINCE OF WALES REGULAR FELLOW DETESTS BEING CENTER OF FUNCTION Wanted to See Fight British Officers Had Their Hands Full Keeping Him Out of Danger. Pity the poor Prince of Wales! He is to visit the United States before long. And he will be rushed about from country house to city house. Those who have really arrived ? in cnniotv will fip'ht ever him like dogs over a bone, and the climbers will be yapping on the outside, ready to dash in and get away with the prize. And the Prince of Wales is just as fond of all that as he is of falling off a horse. And between times he will have to listen to orators orate and when they run completely out of platitudes he will be forced to make one of the brief and modest little addresses he does so well and which he loathes so bitterly. And he will be accompanied by ornate and elegant officers who will be publicly referred to as members of his suite, but who are in fact, his keepers. And he will not be able get away from them. And if he does get away from them they will talk to him upon his return as though the entire British Empire is falling down because of his fault. And he will know better, 6ut can't talk back. Friends Like the Prince. Pity the poor Prince of Wales! Those who know the youngster like film. More than tnat. Tney nave a real respect for him. He is outwardly a quiet, nice looking, blondish hoy who would not be noticed in a crowd. Inwardly he is different, but with plenty of spirit?if you get what I mean. He abominates functions and ' he loathes the formal dinner parties he is forced to attend, and his soul writhes within him when he is forced to make a speech, and he wants more than anything else to be treated like a regular fellow and not like a prince. But he never gets that sort of treatment. "Aren't you the Prince of Wales?" he was asked by a bright subaltern during an incognito visit to a camp. "Aw?forget it," said the Prince of Wales. - That may sound apocryphal, but it is not at all. One night in Paris I was wandering down the rue de Valos, looking for the famous old restaurant, the Boeut a la Mode, when I passed a pair of youngsters in the uniform of the British army. They were giggling as boys 'will?even if they are soldiers and princes?as they hurried on. A moment later an elderly. British officer panted along. I do not know that he was chasing the prince and if he was I do not know whether he caught him, but the next morning I heard some gossip: Reproof for the Prince. "The prince beat it last night," said my informant. "Got clear away. Didn't come back until after midnight. They- are raising heck with him now." /' That afternoon there was some sort of a formal function and at the head of the formal Jine in the formal room stood the blond kid I had seen ? the previous night in the rue de Valos. And if there ever was a bored prince he was it. Later he? made a nice little speech and everyone shook hands with him and he smiled mcely and every one went away giving three cheers for the young heir. And he probably made the comment after it was over that he is known to have made on a similar occasion: "Rot, what?" x He was a problem, no less, to the British G. H. Q. It was thought best that he live with the army. Queen Mary didn't think that way at all at the beginning of the war. She said that he could not go, and the prince 1M 4A VirtTTA KOATI "ino a on 1 VTT Id ddjU tu IXd V c JUCt UO UUU unfilial as any other kid of his age would have been under similar circumstances. Ran Away Prom School. Once he ran away from the school in which he had been immured and got to London. He made a personal appeal to Lord Kitchener and was turned down by that personage. And there was never anything vague about a Kitchener turndown. The recipient always knew just what the secretary for war meant. But the prince stuck to his guns. Eventually he had his way?which is perhaps the only time that Queen Mary has been overruled since the days of William the Conqueror. Once in the army he was?as has been said?the very dickens of a problem. The idea was that he was to boost the somewhat waning prestige of England's royal house by living with the army, but that under no possible condition was he to go anywhere and get hurt. The censorship was to be depended on to keep from the knowledge of England that he lived in a bombproof. But the prince turned out not to be that sort of a prince at all. The nearer the front he got the better he liked it. They used to say that Sir Douglas Haig's battle orders used to run about like this: Sir Douglas Haig's Troubles. "Is the artillery ready? Good. Are j the infantrymen in position? Good. Have the Hun fliers been driven out of the air? Good. Has the prince been caught and penned up? "No? Well, then, why the Sinn Fein hasn't he been?

EL Simmons, New Bridge St, Bamberg, says: "Several years ago my kidneys were in poor, weak and unhealthy condition for a long time. I suffered awfully. My bac-k hurt me so badly that I would sometimes have to press my hands upon it to eaae tihe pain. The action of my kidneys wasn't right and my hands and ankles often swelled. 1 always felt tired out depressed and miserable and aiched all over my body.
