suffered two years with one of the
worst cases of rheumatism you ever
saw. I also had kidney and blood
trouble, and my limbg were dread
fully swollen, my feet were so much

to the bed.

Aam no longer bloated, my limbs and

i Women's Attention,
SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE, Nov. 28
A new word has been put into the Eng
lish language. It is “mug” (vech tran-
H"l\:-». Whén an American has been
Ikrssmi by a Frenchman now he says he
has been “mugged.” It is the first
American colloguialism of the war. The
English have “over the top"” and a doz
en other words and phrases,
As the Frenchman who planis a kiss
on the cheeks of the private is usually
of the hirsute variety, he is tactfully
avoided, if possible A soldier is going
|down the street. He meets another who
warns him that “‘an old guy down in the
next block ‘mugged’ me.” It is the
signal for a detour,
The only embarrassment to these ex
cursions is the amazing frankness with
|whlvh the French ask questions.
‘“Apres la guerre?”’ they ask. ‘Wil
you marry here?’
This is a burning question just now,
and the girls, or many of them, never
miss an opportunity to signify they
have “no fiance.”
Restrictions on Nurses.
The French girls are the only ones
left for the association of the American
Inow. Where | am stationed there are
‘wn nurses. Also there is indignation.
Business is slack in the nursing line
Inmow and the young ladies have some
| idle time on their hands. Once they
| were accustomed to see the surround
|ing country with a soldier as escort.
| Then came an order that they should
inot associate with enlisted men. 8o it
|devolved upon the officers. And now
comes an order from headquarters that
|they shall no more be seen outside any
' military post with any soldier of any
rank.
| But this means nothing to me. What
are nurses in my young life when a
| hundred pairs of black eyeg are twin
| kling wherever I go? This twinkling
| has made me happy to be a private, lor
lun officer is out of luck.
Luck All With Privates.
An enlisted man may go down the
street, smile at every pair of that hun
dred, pass the time of Xuy, “promenade’’
with one or a dozen, laugh, glggln, ac
‘('t‘pt a cookie, conjugate verbs or hold
|hands. He can ‘‘be seen'’ most any
| place—investigate every quaint corner
land every unusual wine shop. But an
lofficer ean not. The regulations that
|he be always a gentleman imply that
he must also be proper. He must not
return a smile to admiring glances,
If a demoiselle says ‘“Bon Soir"” from
the top of a six-foot wall the private
may "Eon soir” back again, or for that
matter, investigate what is behind the
wall. But an officer, never. Dignity
simply doesn’t fit in with the French
philosophy. That is all. There are only
two essentials to the life of the French
man-—laughter and wine. He can live
without anything else, butter, sugar,
even bread itself.
No American wamts for attention here,
It comes voluntarily. The Frenchman,
back from the war, or on leave, adver
tises for a dinner {mrtner. The Parisian
magazines are full of them. Or he may
advertise for a young lady to send him
written encouragement in the trenches
“Young sublieutenant,” these ads will
read, ‘“convalescent in the———— Hos
| pital, wants to correspond with young
Etdy, chic, beautiful, delicate.”
There is only one instance of where
an American advertised. And then he
didn’'t do it. His friends did it for a
joke. His mail was so large for the
next two weeks that the regimental
postoffice couldn't handle it,
A Personal
Word to Our Readers
The Georgian and American do not print doubtful
financial announcements to fleece our readers and our
community of thousands of dollars annually; question
able medical and obscene advertisements to offend the
refinement of your home; fortune teller, spiritualistic, mat
rimonial and clairvoyant announcements which lure the
gullible, and similar advertisements for which we could
secure, literally, thousands of dollars each year if we wese
willing to place the dollar mark above your respect and
confidence, and higher than our duty to our community.
Neither will you find sordid stories featured in a sala~
cious manner in The Daily Georgian and Sunday Amer
ican. These “newspapers of the Home" print all the news
that's fit to print and emphasize all that is clean, bright and
wholesome in their news columns. Both the news and
the advertising columns of “The South's Greatest News
papers’ endeavor to reflect The Georgian's standard—
“A clean, wholesome newspaper for Southern Homes,"
and emphasize the principles for which we are constantly
striving— T ruth, Justice, Public Service.

“It ig not known in the north whether
Stefansson will stay in Banks Land for
the winter or whether he is attempting
to foree his way through the northward
passage.
‘“The take of furs this season was
light Unusual conditions seem to pre
vail in the North. It is an off year on
both the American angd Siberian coasts.
Foxes are said to be 76 per cent short
and the natives lack food because of
the scarcity of game.”

TACOMA, WASH., Nov. 28— Whatever

Albert 1. Schneider, Jr., 35, died at 7|

The meatal polish which contained a

had evidently used a considerable quan
