Youthful Recruit Found He Was Not
Adapted by Nature for a
Drummer Boy.
The irreverent man had been
aroused by tjilk of the war to tell an
anecdote, and those about him really
thought that the gravity of the sub
ject would make him reverent this
time. He said:
“At the time of the Spanish-Ameri
ean war I was a boy at school. I was
fired with tremendous patriotic zeal.
I decided to steal away unbeknownst
to my parents and enlist as a drum
mer boy. You see, 1 was old enough
for'that, and I was a robust young
ster, so 1 expected no trouble at all
with the military authorities.
"So, instead of going to school one
morning, I hurried to a recruiting sta
tion and told the officer in charge that
I wanted to be drummer boy.
“Ah, me! Though years have
passed, it is still an awful memory.”
He sighed. Those listening were
much impressed.
"Didn't they take you on as a
drummer boy?” they inquired.
"No,” he groaned.
’ Why?”
“Because —because I had no ear for
music?”

EPITOME OF THE
WEEK’S EVENTS
In a Condensed Form the Happenings of
All Nationalities Are Given
For Our Readers.
WEEK'S NEWS AT A GLANCE
Important Events of the United States
and Particularly in the
South.
European War
According to reports from Athens
Greece is contemplating to aid the al
lies in the attack on Constantinople
and the forcing of the Dardanelles,
which is being rigorously continued
by the Anglo-French fleet.
The Russians have been repulsed
in a number of places along the Aus
trian border, and the German troops
have been beaten back in Poland.
England refuses to concede the
rights of neutral powers on the high
seas in her retaliatory measure
against Germany.
England has declared a blockade on
all German ports in her effort to pre
vent further commercial intercourse
between Germany and the outside
wortd. Premier Asquith made public
the announcement of the government’s
decision in a speech in the house of
commons and his war message was
received with great enthusiasm.
France will also join in the blockade
so as to make it complete. This ac
tion is in retaliation of the kaiser’s
announced intention of sinking all ves
sels found in English waters after
February 18.
Tako Jonescu, Roumanian minister
of the interior, has announced in
Bucharest that a formal agreement
has just been concluded between his
country and the triple entente by
which Roumania is bound to enter the
war in the near future. Bucharest dis
patches declare preparations are be
ing made to call all classes of reserves
for the army, which it is expected will
move on Turkey.
It is announced in Paris that an
agreement has been reached between
England and France on one side and
Russia on the other regarding the
future status of the Dardanelles,
which will give Russia free passage of
the straits, over which the other two
nations will claim control. This is
the important step and crux of the
whole European war situation and
was the underlying cause of the en
tire conflict, precipitated some six
years ago during the first Bulgarian
outbreak against the Turks in 1908.
Russia’s eye has always been on the
Bosphorus and the Dardanelles and
lias always been held in check by Na
poleon, by Bismarck, by England,
France and Germanv > and by England
and France together in the Crimean
war. English and French troops have
been landed from the Anglo-French
fleet, which is forcing its way up the
straits. Several more Turkish forts
have been demolished and the Mos
lem troops are hastily giving way be
fore the allied invaders.
The American steamer Dacia, re
cently purchased from its German
owners, lias been captured by a
French warship and taken to Brest,
where an investigation will be held,
regarding the nationality of the boat.
The Dacia sailed from Galveston in
January expecting at the time it
would be seized.
Foreign
Queen Wilhelmina has informed Dr.
Henry Van Dyke, American ambassa
dor to Holland, that her nation will
continue its present course of neu
trality, but that she will stoutly main
tain her rights on the high seas.
A large delegation of Americans
and Parisians headed by Ambassador
Sharp of the United States and Pres
ident Poincare of France, paid a great
tribute to George Washington and
held a patriotic demonstration and pa
rade in Paris, which closed with Am
bassador Sh’arp, placing a wreath at
the foot of the Washington statue in
Paris. The wreath was tied with the
American stars and stripes and the
French tri-colors.
The steamer Dacia, recently pur
chased by Edward N. Breitung from
its German owners and captured on
the high seas by a French warship and
taken to Brest, has been stripped of
the American colors and the American
crew shipped back to New York. The
French foreign office, however, has
npt been officially apprised of this
act.
Germany is reported to have favor
ed President Wilson’s vigorous note
regarding the English water war zone
declaration and the admiralty office in
Berlin will send word that the kaiser
is willing to life the ban provided Eng
land will cease the contraband on
foodstuffs. England's attitude is
doubtful, but it is believed she will
obstinately maintain her present posi
tion.
Thfc mikado has under considera
tion an appeal from the allied powers
to send Japanese troops to Europe
this summer to assist in the campaign
that is being planned on Germany
and the march to Berlin. It is un
derstood sentiment is quite divided
on this question in Tokyo.
Railroad traffic between Vera Cruz
and Mexico City lias been suspended
by order of General Carranza. The
Zapata forces in renewing their attack
to regain possession of Mexico City
have been repulsed by General Obre
gon. the chief Carranza lieutenant
Washington

on Thursday noon, March 4.

congressional resolution introduced by

President Wilson and his cabinet
held a prolonged conference
in discussion of the English blockade
of Germany. Tile president declared

tween the nations is graver today than
ever before.
President Wilson has signed the
pensions appropriation bill which calls

congress. The house passed the farm
loan law by a vote of 237 to 89 votes.
The amendment offered by Senator
McCumber of North Dakota in the up
per house was voted down in the low

instruction of a physician, known as
the Porterfield act, has gone into ef
fect.
President Wilson has announced the
possibility of having to foregoe his
San Francisco exposition trip after all
on account of the serious aspects in
the European war situation. He feels
his duty is to remain in Washington
continually on the job during such
strenuous warlike times. Responding
to an invitation to come to Memphis,
Nashville, Chattanooga and other
southern cities, when importuned by a
large delegation from Tennessee, the
president stated he would if the war
situation would permit.
Congress has passed an act incorpo
rating the Ellen Axson Wilson Memo
rial Heme Association for the District
of Columbia, which is the permanent
memorial to Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
and will be in the nature of dwelling
houses for families in the tenement
districts of the Capital City.
President Wilson and the cabinet
are considerably worried over the
English announcement of blockading
German ports on account of the cotton
situation. The majority of American
exports to Germany since the war
have been cotton shipments. How the
blockade will affect cotton shippers of
the South perplexes the government
officials just at the present moment.
*n some circles it is rumored President
Wilson will place an embargo on all
foodstuffs to all belligerent nations in
retaliation for England’s interference
with American commerce between the
United States and Germany.
The Sixty-third congress lias drawn
to a close.
Domestic

"This, then, Miss Fickle,” said the
young man as he started for the
door, "is your final decision?”
“It is, Mr. Smithers,” said the young
girl firmly.
"Then,” he continued, his voice be
traying an unnatural calmness, "there
is but one thing to add.”
“What is that?” she asked, toying
absently with the lobe of her shell

“It is this,” he muttered. “Shall I
return those black satin suspenders
by mail or will you have them now?”
IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for a While If the Bladder
Bothers You.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel a dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, your
stomach sours, tongue is coated and
when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channeis
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts is
inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases. —Adv.
Table Manners.
The small daughter«of the house
was busily setting the table for ex
pected company when her mother
called to her:
"Put down three forks at each
place, dear.”
Having made some observations on
her own account when the expected
guest had dined with her mother be
fore, she inquired thoughtfully:
“Shall I give Uncle John three
knives?”

FIT LAXATIVE
FOR SICK GUILD
“California Syrup of Figs” can’t
harm tender stomach,
liver and bowels.
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children “California Syrup of
Figs” that this is their ideal laxative,
because they love its pleasant taste
and it thoroughly cleanses the tender
little stomach, liver and bowels with
out griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless “fruit
laxative,” and in a few hours ail the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bow
els, and you have a well, playful child
again. W T hen its little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic —remem-
ber, a good “inside cleaning” should
always be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Syrup of Figs” handy; they know a
teaspoonful today saves a sick child
tomorrow. Ask at the store for a 60-
eent bottle of "California Syrup of
Figs,” which has directions for babies,
children of all ages and grown-ups
printed on the bottle. Adv.
