Shaffer's Last Flight (Continued' From Yesterday) But I stray from the subject. I was in the hospital, wasn't I? No, it was In. the pretty blonde's kitchen. Well, 1 only stayed there long enough to All up (which sort of proves the theory that the way to a man's heart is through his stom aah), and, then promising to call aga'u, soon started down town to seeJKhe sights. 1 had been cooped up''so long that to.be free to go where I wished was more than I could stand. I wanted to prove it, and lost no opportunity to roam up and down the main thoroughfare. This particular day seemed to be a holiday, for the Belgian colors were everywhere, and every one NOW RAISES 600 CHICKED After Being Relieved of Organic Trouble by Lydia. E.

And the shop keeper would not take any money f<#r it, because I .was a prisoner. He even told me that anything a pris oivsr wanted that day would be giv er, him; so I went into another shop ! una bought some postcards. The man was right. It a:d not cost me I a cent. I soon found though that all the shopkeepers did not look at itt that way, for the next store I went into was a fruit store. Now, fruit came aretty high, but feoling sure that no charge would be made I picked out several nice red apples and an enormous bunch of grapes, and then, following my usual cus tom, asked the )>rice. And there was where I woke up, for she quick ly told me, and It was a pretty high figure. But I stiil had some money and being badly In need of ftv.lt, bought It. Although the armistice had been signed the city was still under Boche rule, and one of their laws was that no civilians were allowed on tlio streets, after 5 p. m. It got dark about that time, you know, ar.d they were no doubt, afraid some of them would beat it. Naturally lib erated prisoners came under this ruiing, but they didn't know this un itil several were arrested and placed in solitary confinement for punish ment. And the Boche say they kept all the conditions of the armistice, too. Yet' it plainly stated therein that prisoners of war were to be iimmediately liberated on the sign ing of the armistice, and here they were putting prisoners, who had al ready been liberated back into pris on Just because they were on the street around -6 p. m. Can you beat, It! That just goes to show that they still regard a signed agreement as nrgrely a scrap of paper. A, Cosmopolitan Shop Needing a hair cut and a shave. I webt into a Belgian barber shop to get it. Then my costume drew immediate attention and questions were Immediately asked me as usual. Try This For Liver and Bowels Brew It at Home Yourself. Save Money- and Feel Better Right Away. If you want a splendid, economical remedy for constipation, sick head ache. dizziness and torpid liver, get a small package of l)'r. Carter's K. and B. Tea to-day and drink a cup of your own brewing whenever you need it. This old reliable vegetable remedy has stood the test of time and is now more popular than ever. Keep a package in the house all the time and brew a cupful when you feel out of sorts, feverish or biilious. It always helps—promptly—and be ing mild and gentle, is just as good for children as for grownups. When they found .out I was an Am erican they couldn't tell mo how glad they were to see me—but they charged me the usual prices. The barber even offered ine some cigar ettes, which I took. No, mother, V hadn't learned to smoke. I took them along for-my companions. It seemed strange, Indeed, in that bar bershop to see'all the different na tionalities, for there were Boche, Belgians, Englishmen and French men an waiting for the same thing •—a shave. What amused me was the expression op the barber's face when he was tucking in the towel around my neck. ' "He probably thought there were still some coot ies there, for my neck was actually bitten raw. Probably there were a few left, but I doubt it. Anyway, he gave me the shave and then I beat it back to my hospital home, wondering whether there would be any supper for me, as you know the Boche had all left. There wasn't any supper there, Jiut there was a lire, also my bed was still in place. But the Belgians had not forgotten us, for soon the girls, Including my little blonde friend came in with some thick soup, white bread and cakes. One of them even brought me some hot milk— of course you know which one that was—l wasn't hungry, but seeing who it was, and how much pleasure It would give her to see me take nourishment I drank It. Hearing that the Belgians were preparing to move all the prisoner patients to other places in the city, I decided to hunt some place for lodgment until the trhins got run ning again. For I wasn't going to walk back to Paris if I knew it. Be sides I still had a. few cooties, and the only thing that would make them hunt another place to start a colony was a hot bath. Not havfng had a buth for about two months, you can see how badly I needed it. With this idea in mind I hunted up one of the priests run ning around there. One of them spoke very good English you know, and it was to this one I went. What I wanted to know was: Did he know of some kind Belgian who would al low.me to use his bathtub and hot water. From the way he studied, jie probably didn't. Finally he told me I could . get a bath where the other prisoners were getting theirs, and he- mentioned some big place on a street with an unpronounceable same. But 1 didn't want to go there I was nearly rid of the cooties, and mixing with the other prisoners I would be sure to get another dose; not that I wanted to be high and mighty about it, or think myself above them in wanting something better, but because coming out of these filthy German camps they would be sure to have all styles of vermin, and mixing with them I would be sure to catch it. So I let the priest study a little longer. Just as I was about to give up in despair,* a girl caihe past and he asked her if she knew of anybody who would do me such a healthy favor. Tlic Once Over She gave me a quick once over. I must have passed, for she gave us an address immediately. It was just around the corner, so we were soon there ringing the bell. A very pretty lady came lo the door and from the dough that was still cling ing to her hands it was evident that we must have interrupted her bak ing. Hearing what wus wanted she suid she was sorry, but would X do her the favor of lodging and taking meals in her house—would I Golly! The surprise of the offer nearly, knocked me down. I should say 1 would and the pleasure was all mine. The priest was about as surprised as me, but he hit it well, gave me good-by and left. And then she j showed me to my room, brought me I a change of underclothing, some | handkerchiefs, socks and a pair of j house slippers, und told me to make myself at home* Even gave me a j key to the house, saying 1 was free 1 to go and come as 1 wished. There wasn't whole lot to the room, but there was a whole- lot to | the bed. Golly! but that was some bed! Never have 1 slept in a softer one. Why when one crawled be i tween the blankets one sank down j two feet, so soft was it. And—say, j you should have seen me! i fear j I forgot all my manners, for I passed jmy plate for the third helping. Bdt J instead of shocking theni this man • and his wife were only pleased the I more. That was as it should be.. 1 | was a liberated prisoner, and haw ling had four years of Boche rule j they knew 1 was hungry, 1 was! But the way that woman could cook ' would have made a man with the dyspepsia eat a square meal. And ' she didn't have a big variety tff j things to cook with, either, but even •at that she could concoct some of ' the most appetising dishes X have ever eaten. There were just the two of them, just he and his witc. And they I were very fond of each other. Never j did X see a couple so proud of a | guest, though. Why, the way they treated me, one would have thought 1 was the President of the U. S. A., instead of a hungry man, eating them out of house and home. And they catered to ray taste, too, even I giving me eggs and bacon for break fast when eggs costs 50 cents a piece. And then they found I had a sweet tooth, and even bought me choco late candy, and that when a bar as big as a five cent bar of Hershey's cost live dollars. Can you beat it? They, indeed, must have been well to do, for the pretty wife went out of her way to tlx me up special dishes. You know, it's a wonder I didn't die of overeating. Lots of the liberated prisoners did, you know. After haying been starved for several years and then to have a square meal set before them was too much for some of these poor, 111-treated prisoners. They literally ute themselves to death. However, X survived, and my appetite did not decrease any, either. X was right there in time for every meal and X always had three helpings. The pretty wile would insist on it and if J ate less slio thought X was sick. They had a beautifully ap pointed house .despite the Goce oc cupation, and what surprised me most was that all the pictures on the wall were drawn or painted by them. They were mighty well done, too, although X would not qualify as a crtic. He had two Harrison Fisher pictures that were copied so exactly that X .thought they .were the originals. Of course, X had no money to pay these people, for their kindness, and 1 they would not have taken it had I offered lo do so. There,- fore, I endeavored lo pay up by en tertaining them with stories of my experiences. This was rather diffi cult, as I had to do it all In French, for neither of them spoke a word of English. But that was the best practice in the world for me, for being forced to speak the language I soon picked UR a lot of it. We passed many pleasant evenings this way, sitting before the lire with me in . the role of chief speaker. It was rather painfully done, of course, for my French voeubulary was very limited, indeed, and some of it wus even amusing, but still, huving my hands und shoulders, 1 helped out with them.

MANY PRE-WAR TALES SHATTERED BY NEW BOOK Assassination of Archduke Ferdinand Not Stage v Managed liMiiliiu, Feb. 14.—Some of the ac | cepted stories of the happenings of j the momentous days just prior to I the War, it is understood, are shat j tered in a . book based on official ; documents and personal notes of diplomats and officials issued to-day. The book characterize sas a fal- the belief that the assassina tion of Archduke Francis Ferdinand at Serajevo was a "stage managed affair,' but It is asserted from knowledge gained from official doc uments that if the assassination had not occurred the war certainly would have been started very soon. War Decision Made The famous Potsdafti conference of July 5, 1914, according to the book, was not what has been gen erally accepted. The meeting took place but it was not a formal con ference as has been declared re peatedly. It is asserted that'rrtany persons who were supposed to have been there were not prsnt. Emperor William and members of the Ger man imperial staff were present, however, and at this conference Ger many definitely decided for war. The book was written, by Pr.ofes sor Charles W. C. Oman, president of the Royal Historical Society, and a professor of history at Oxford University. A. J. Balfour, the Brit ish foreign secretary, and Earl Cur zon, government leader in the House of Eords, are understood to have taken an active interest in its com pilation. liidinowaky Betrayed A series of hitherto unpublished communications between Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary in 1914 and Prince Lichnowskv, German ambassador in I,ondon at the outbreak of the war, goes to prove, Professor Oman says, that the British foreign office believed that Lichnowsky was absolutely honest. The book says: "They emphasize the personal anxiety of Eichnowsky and show that he was actually and literally betrayed by his government—in oth ter words that he was the unwilling tool of the kaiser."

Knights of Columbus Parjs. Feb. 14.—One of the most i apparent needs of the members of the American Expeditionary Force at the present time is entertain ment to assist in "passing away the time until orders are received to de part fof home. To meet this need the Knights of Columbus, througn ils Entertainment Division, have or ganised numerous troupes of enter tainers who will visit the various units of the army and the llrst party of entertainers has left Paris. It is announced that this work will extend to the American forces in Ffance, Belgium, Italy and Ger many and that cvei. unit of the army will be reached.

Use Cocoanut Oil For Washing Hair If you want to keep your hair in good condition, be careful what you wash it with. Most soaps and prepared sham poos contain too much alkali.' This dries the scalp, makes the hair brit tle and is very harmful. Just plain mulsitied cocoanut: oil (which is pure and entirely greaseless) is much bet ter than tlie most expensive soap or anything else you can use for sham pooing, as this can't possibly injure the hair. . Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundant of rich creamy lather and qleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out' easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it line and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone in the family for months. _ I Chas. H. Mauk t I UNDKKTAKKM 1745 !
