"Wilhelm Hohenzollern has had lots

“I see more bad luck for him!
"I sec him In the midst of a crowd

him with! They are angry. They
shout 'Hang him! Hang him! He killed
our sons and brought hunger on us.
Hang him!’
"I see his face grow pale with fear.

crowd has no mercy; did he have
mercy for them ?
"I see the rope placed about hts neck.

"Wilhelm Hohenzollern Is no more!”
This Is the fate predicted for the ex
kaiser of all the Germans by Maria
Demetro, queen of Washington gyp

Maria, a young gypsy girl who might
be attractive if she were in different
surroundings, holds forth In a little
fortune-telling booth at 1710 Seventh
street, where she lives with her father
and her little brother. The family
are Brazilian gypsies.
There are many other gypsies in

"I’ve Kreat faith In the love of my

addition to her skill at palmistry and
phrenology, they look to her as their

have something to do with it.
I sought Maria on the chance that
she might tell me her answer to the
question everyone in America is ask

She old me—after I had crossed her
palm with silver ;these gypsies don’t

And she told me more. She said—•
her eyes closed as in a trance:
“The kaiser is going back to Ger

him; the guards are powerless. You
understand?
“The kaiser pays for his crimes with
his life and he pays in Berlin —before

And Maria Demetro, who after all Is
considerably Americanized, proved it
by adding, with vehemence:
“To Hell with the kaiser!”

Daddy. “Remember—ln the Psalms—
’Peace be within thy walls and pros

“And consider the completeness of

“ ’Peace on earth.’ ”
"While we're establlshlnß peace

In the practical Martha. “In theory,
of course, family quarrels do not ex

Over nothing important to start with;

There was that dreadful word again!
Chrys may not he malicoius but she
is certainly mischievous.
"Better look out for a divorce suit

DEATH, THELEVELER
By Captain A. Lee Alexander
Stone
(Capt. A. L. .Stone, formerly gras officer
with the 28th Division at Camp Hancock,
and now by order of the surgeon general
lecturing on sex hygelne throughout the
training camps of the United States army,
has HTwiken to over 800,000 troops with re
markable results. His effective literary
style and beauty of diction is well illus
trated in the article below contributed
to Trench and Camp. As a speaker upon
sex purity Captain gtone has plowed a
new furrow through vast fallow fields.
The Editor.)
In the midnight of a grief that is
chaotic, vengeful thoughts pierce our
brains that time alone can banish. We
do not wish to understand that death is
merely a change of form, and that pos
sibly the loved one who has left our sight
is better off We are almost ready to
curse Nature for having premitted us to
love, and then, because of disease or nat
ural decay, to destroy the form of the
one held most dear
Spiritual love holds with a tie that
binds hearts close together—that makes
them almost one. Separation by death
tears asunder our reason, and leaves us
for the moment under the complete con
trol of our emotions. To mourn for a
kond one with whom we have been as
sociated for years destroys for a time our
impulse to see good in anything around
us. j
Time is the great mender of hearts
that are about to break. Time alone can
replenish our supply of a love for others
we tried to kill with grief. Years and
years pass, sorrow after eorrow may
overtake us, yet in the end will smile*
replace the tears of loneliness, and. Phoe
nix-like will we rise from the ashes of
despair to gate on the sun of a new day
as it bursts in morning glory over the
t>eaks of the moutalns of hope.
Uerth, “the great tomb of man,” bolds
within her milVons who have been loved,
and who have gone to make a part of
“the clod the rude swain treads upon.”
The solace that death is the beginning of
a new- life leaves man wdth a hong that
he may enter a new sphere of
whn he answers the summons on the day
he ha* finished his work and is no longer
of service as an actor in the drama of life.
After ail, man Is but the tool of Nature,
and like all tools that are much used he
wears out and ceases ledger to be an as
set and becomes a liability.
The prorV«e of immortality, renewed
every spring by Nature, when the leaves
buiTit forth and the flowers bloom and
th*' birds from branches that have
felt the cold winter of decay, should
make man pause in the mad rush of a
workaday world to pay respect to those
whom he has Fuccecded. who have gone
the way all men must travel.
We lay our friends in the tomb with a
feeling of despair at our Utter helpless
ness. ard vet leave the very presence of
the grave to boast of our strength. Na
ture is a great loveler. Rich and poor,
tbe. scholar and the dunce, must march to
tho tune of the harpist who fdllowa in the
wak# nf time, nnd who play* tho dirge
of decay. God's Acre holds many a shell
of clay that was interred amid great
pomp a-d display, and the "passing bell”
might have told of another who was
about to enter ha preelncta who belong
ed to a different -nation In life, yet who
r*«roided when the rhims* in tho belfry
of the universe tolled tho hour when soul
nd body punt part, rrtl whose entrance
would not even be noticed,

though he may die. The essence of his
being Is immortality.”
“O worldly man! How fatal Is your
delusion! Inevitably your body will crum
ble to dust, yet carelessly, unheedingly
you live on.”
The joy of death! To be able to go to
a port where no shipwrecks occur, where
peace and calm re.'jn supreme, should
cause all men to view with pride the hour
that will take them into the realms of the j
unknown. Death brings peace to the tired
soul; to the disease-ridden body of the
poor sufferer it gives health; it is merci
ful to those who have grown old in the
service of man, and lets them gently fall
asleep In the arms of the Pilot of Life,
to awaken on the shores of a new land.
“They are not dead! They have but
passed
Beyond the mists that blind us here
Into the new and larger life
Of that serener sphere.”
“Wash it out thoroughly first**
“Don’t worry,” the lady upstairs
said, “wash it out thoroughly —there
won’t be any trouble if you just keep
It perfectly clean. Have you any
Lifebuoy in the house ? That’s just
the thing. Wash it with that and it
will heal right up. ”
What makes the broken skin smart
eo is foreign matter or perspiration,
with its acids, getting into it. To
make the skin heal, both of these
must be thoroughly removed.
There is in Lifebuoy an antiseptic
solution which, in washing, is carried
right into the pores of the skin. In
addition to thoroughly cleansing, this
antiseptic purifies and protects.
The importance of protection
You know the modem idea on
Health. Today every authority
teaches that the way to be healthy,
to keep well, is to protect the
body from sickness.
Keeping the skin healthy is espe
cially important. The skin regulates
the heat of the gody. To keep your
body at the right temperature, your
akin throws off about two pints of
perspiration every twenty-four hours.

Two Cent Rate For
Soldiers Returning
Home
Becau.se of the law allowing 2Vi cents
per n.ile for transportation and sus
tenance for soldiers and In order to make
certain that soldiers will not be required
to pay any part of the expense of return
ing to their homes after being discharged
from the army, Director General McAdoo
yesterday authorised a reduction of S 3 Vi
per cent in the current coach fare for this
purpose, making the rate to them ap
proximately 2 cents per mile.
It is estimated that the total reduction
of railroad revenue resulting l.oir. this
r.rrangement will be approximately $12,-
000.000 If the discharged soldiers re
quire accommodations, they
will pay the additional charge of approxi
mately one-half cent per mile in tourist
cars, the type of sleening car which will
be generally used. Th 1 will leave them
If not thoroughly removed, this per
spiration forms acids, accumulates,
with other impurities, in the pores,
clogs them and prevents the skin
from throwing off further waste
matter.
The clearer, the fresher your skin
is, the more important it is to keep
it in good condition. Guard it—
protect it—make Lifebuoy a habit
—and keep your skin healthy.
The odor tells you why
The “health” odor in Lifebuoy is
found in no other soap. It is not a
perfume —not the odor of a medi
cine—but a pure, hygienic odor that
tells you instantly why the soap bene
fits your skin. Stimulating, invig
orating, refreshing! One whiff of
Lifebuoy, and you realize why it
cleanses so thoroughly—why it puri
fies and protects.
Begin today to use the
“health” soap whenever you
wash. Get a cake at any gro
cery, drug or department store.
Start today and watch your
skin improve.
