FRANCE’S LARGE BLACK ARMY
To Be Considered in Event of War In
Which National Existence Was
Threatened.
The announcement that by Janu
ary next the African troops of
France will be 200,000 strong, raises
thoughts about their probable future
employment. A large proportion of
these troops are of negro blood, ami
there can be no doubt that in West
Africa France possesses inexhaustible
reserves of potential riflemen.
Are these black troops to be used
in Europe? In the event of a life
and death struggle only one answer
is possible. Any nation is justified
in drawing upon all its resources
rather 1 than risk the menace of ex
tinction. At the same time the expe
rience of Great Britain in this con
nection is instructive.
Lord Beaconsfield brought Indian
troops to Malta in 1878, but hie ex
ample will not be repeated. Indian
troops do not flourish in most foreign
lands, and especially in contact with
white troops other than British. On
the one hand, they get “above them
selves;” on the other, they often
form a quite erroneous contempt for
white troops which has demoralizing
results when they return home.
The West African troops of
France are so different in type that
no exact parallel can be drawn ; but
they constitute a question which may
some day be of absorbing interest to
all Europe.
MOTHER OF FIVE A LAWYER
Brooklyn Woman Also Finds Time for
Charity Work —Has Daughter
Public School Teacher.
Home duties, including the care
of her five children, are considered
a delightful diversion by Mrs. Flora
Groden of Brooklyn, who, having
passed all the requirements, has
been admitted to the bar. Mrs. Gro
den has satisfied the committee on
character which examined her cre
dentials in the appellate division of
the supreme court.

and has been married more than
.twenty-four years. She is a gradu
ate of the girls’ high school, and in
1910 received a degree of LL. B. in
the New York University law school.
A daughter, Gertrude, twenty-two
years old, is a public school teacher.
•Outside of her home duties and the
time devoted to her study of law
Mrs. Groden also gives considerable
attention to charity, being an organ
izer of the Brooklyn Hebrew Home
for the Aged.—New York Herald.
OLD INDIAN ARMORY.
/ .
An ancient Indian armory was dis
covered recently by two boys, near
Muskogee, Okla. One of the boys
kicked pieces off the edge of a lime
stone outcropping and uncovered the
cache of an ancient Indian arrow
maker, from which over 1,700 beau
tiful flint arrow points have been
removed to date. Several minutes'’
digging by both boys brought them
to a kind of pocket in the earth lit
erally filled with arrow heads. They
filled their hats and their pockets
and went to town and reported their
find. Students of archaeology went
to the place and by digging with a
Bpade reached another pocket con
taining about 800 more heads. The
style known as the “war pointe*’ pre
dominated.
WOMEN’S WORK.
The Young Women’s Christian as
sociation of Los Angeles, Cal., has a
course where women are taught to be
efficient saleswomen.
The grand jury recently selected in
San Mateo county. California, will be
controlled by women, having 11 of
their sex to eight men.
Miss Anna Olsen, an Ellis island
nurse, who recently plunged into the
bay at night and saved an immigrant
from drowning, has been rewarded by
the government with a substantial in
crease in salary.
Mrs. Crystal E. Benedict has been
appointed to the staff of the new fed
eral industrial commission, which
will take up the study of the causes
for industrial unrest in the United
States.
ENVIOUS.
The archbishop had preached a
fee sermon on “Married Life and Ito
Duties.” Two Irish women were
heard coming out of church com
menting on the address.
“It’s a fine sermon his reverence
would be after giving us,” said one
to the other.
“It is indeed,” was the quick reply,
*and I wish I knew as little about
the matter as he does.”—Life.
NERVOUS HEADACHES
Heavy Feeling, as If My Brain
Was Pressing Down
' ' I
MRS. EFFIE HILL.
Blanchester, Clinton
Co., Ohio.
Mrs. Hill says:
“I cannot tell
you how much I
have suffered
during the past
twelve year s.”
Twelve years is
a long time for
any one to suf
fer. A great mul
titude of women
in this country
know exactly
what Mrs. Hill
means when she
say s, *’H ea v y
feeling, as if my
brain was press-
ing down. So nervous I could not
get my rest at night. Would have >
sinking spells and then so weak that j
I could not do my work.” A great :
many women in the United States i
will recognize in this description j
their own experience.
Mrs. Hill found a remedy. After I
taking four bottles of Peruna she
gained in strength and flesh and wrote
us that she was a well woman again.
She says, “I cannot thank you enough
for my recovery.”
This is no ordinary incident.
Twelve years suffering. Four bottles
of Peruna. Restored to perfect health.
If Peruna can do this for one woman
why can it not for another? Is it
not worth your attention? Is it
not worth trying?
Those who object to liquid medi- i
cines can now obtain Peruna Tablets. I
FACTS and FICTION
Experiences of Gainesville Citizens
Are Easily Proven to be Facts.
The most superficial investigation
will prove that the following state
ment from a resident of Gainesville
is true. Read it and compare evi
dence from Gainesville people with
testimony of strangers living so far,
away you cannot investigate the
facts of the case. Many more citizens
of Gainesville endorse Doan’s Kid
“A few years ago my back pained
me and sometimes it was almost im
possible for me to stoop or lift,”
says F. L. Comer, carpenter and
machinist, of 23 West Ave., Gaines
ville. “My Kidneys didn’t act as they
should and cause me a lot annoy
ance. I found prompt relief in
Doan's Kidney Pills. For years I
have had no suffering from kidney
trouble, and my back has been
strong. T have great confidence in
Doan’s Kidney Pills and recommend
them to anyone who needs a good
kidney medicine.”
