BONHAM DAILY FAVORITE
PERSHING VISITS “Y” HEADQUARTERS
General John .T. Pershing. American expeditionary force commander, leav-
ing Y. M. C. A., Palais du Glace, Paris, where he congratulated every woman
worker personal!y.
General Pershing’s inspection of the Y. M. C. A. canteen, which was unan-
nounced. took up an entire morning and he expressed himself satisfied with
the results. At several places he surprised the men at their luncheon. At the
Palais du Glace, where 25,000 Americans eat daily, the first intimation that the
diners had of liis presence was when the orchestra played the “Star-Spangled
Banner,” and they looked about to find the commander in chief of A. E. F,
standing at. attention.
He interrogated a number of tlftv soldiers about the food and the prices,
and exhibited the most minute interest in everything pertaining to their
welfare. At the Hotel Rochester, a Y. M. 0. A. hostelry on tlie Boulevard
Coureljtes. he learned with surprise that any private soldier could get two
eggs for his breakfast. This was something generals frequently had'experi-
enced difficulty in doing.
To the American Avomen workers at the Palais du Glace he said: “f want
to tell you that I appreciate Avhar tne American women are doing over here.
It means a great deal to the army to have the right kind of American women
here doing the work you. are doing. Not only is it good for the soldiers, bull
for you, too. It gives you a new perspective on the work, of men, and on
the war.”
CAN YOU BLAME “YANKS” FOR
MIXING CENTS AND CENTIMES?
In the early part of the Avar, the overseas Y. M. C. A. canteen price
lists looked like this:
Bull Durham .....................1 oz. bag .30 rent.
Dukes Mixture ..................1 oz. bag .25 rent.
Ducky Strike ....................2 oz. bag .60 cent.
Prince Albert ....................1 oz. bag .30 rent.
Prince Albert ....................2 oz. bag .CO cent.
Tuxedo ............................2 oz. can .60 cent.
Velvet .............................2 oz. bag .60 cent.
Later in the war the price lists looked this way:
(For the convenience of those not familiar with French
currency, a parallel column has been added show-
ing the amounts in United States currency)
French IT. S.
(Centimes) (Cents)
Bull Durham .... 1 oz. bag, .30 .05
Dukes Mixture ..................1 oz. hag, .25 .04
Ducky Strike—1% or 2 oz. can or bag, .60 .10
Prince Albert ..............) oz. bag, .30 .05
Prince Albert ...................2 oz. can, .60 .10
Tuxedo ...................... 1 oz. bag, .35 .06 >
Tuxedo .... 2 oz. can, .60 .10
Velvet............1% or 2 oz. can or bag, .60 .10
Many people Avill probably Avonder Avhat proportion of the stories
about overcharging by the Y. M. C. A. can be traced to this early-
omission of United States currency on the lists. The “30 cent.” stood
for thirty centimes, or five cents in U. S. money. It Avas not a hard
matter for a “Yank” to become confused.
"UNTHINKABLE”
SAYS DANIELS
Secretary of the Navy Nonplused at
Criticism of Y. M. C. A,—Proved
Heroism.
The war work of men in the uni-
form of the Red Triangle who follow-
ed the flag wherever if. went proved
their heroism and devotion on the bat-
tle front, and were ahvays present to
serve and comfort, the American fight-
ing men, says Josephus Daniels, secre-
tary of the navy, will remain an en-
during monument to the Y. M. G. A.
“It. is unthinkable,” he declared in a
letter to the “Y” Avar work council,
“that criticism of minor defects here
and there should be allowed to cloud
for a moment the splendid record made
by this great association.”
His letter, recently made public by
tlie Y. M. C. A., follows in part:
“Only those avIio Avere brought in
intimate contact Avith it, and could sur-
vey the whole field, are able to appre-
ciate fully the great extent and value
of the Y. M. C. A.’s Avork for^our sol-
diers and sailors. In camps and train-
ing stations, at. home and abroad, at
the fighting front, on transports and at
naval bases, it cheered and aided our
fighting forces. Its halls and huts
were not only social centers, furnish-
ing wholesale recreation and amuse-
ment. but Avere places for mental im-
provement and moral refreshment.
They were bits of America set on for-
eign soil, reminding the boys of the
homes from which they came.
“The men of the Red Triangle fol-
loAved the flag wherever ,it went, and
were there to serve and comfort our
brave boys. They proved their hero-
ism and devotion on the battle front,
a number being commended for brav-
ery, and several sacrificing their lives
in the line of duty.
“It is unthinkable that, criticism of
minor defects here and there should he
alloAA-ed to cloud for a moment the
splendid record made by this great
association. No big undertaking Avas
ever carried out Avithout some imper-
fections, and no organization engaged
in such a stupendous work, employing
so many men over a vast area, could
expect to carry it through without
making some ^mistakes. But. so far
as I have been able to determine, these
have been 'few and hardly enough to
be considered in comparison with the
magnificent service rendered.

GREAT SUM SPENT
FOR BOYS ON RHINE
Y. M, C, A. Turns Loose More Than
$200,000 for Athletic
Equipment,
More than. $200,000 worth of athletic
equipment has been distributed
throughout the Third army in the
Rhineland by the Y. M. C. A. athletic
department in six weeks for use either
in games for recreation or training
leading up to championship competi-
tions.
The “Y” also has assigned 40 ath-
letic directors to duty with this army.
Footballs, baseball material, track and
field equipment and a great quantify
tof suits have been supplied.
In' addition to this the Y. M. O. A.
lias distributed 1,200 sets of boxing
gloves in the Third army and is co-
operating with the army officials in
the A, E. F. championship contests.
Boxing bouts have become almost as
popular as theatrical entertainments
in the Rhine forces. About 24,000 men
attend the six bouts staged Aveekly by
the “Y” at Coblenz and 9,000 the six
bouts staged weekly at Neuvveid.
WATER MAKES HiM FAT,
While hundreds of men in the army
in Camp Travis are anxious to get. out
of service and back into civilian life,
Cecil Roons of Raton, N. M„ is hap-
py because he got in.
He rushed into a Y. M. C. A. build-
ing, threw his hat toward the ceiling
and danced around. The attention of
the “Y” secretaries was directed to-
Avard him by his antics and they in-
quired the cause of liis glee.
It was then that, the story Avas told.
During the war Cecil could not
get into the army on account of his
age. He became eighteen, years old
not lung ago and enlisted.
After his preliminary examination
lie was accepted although he was just
lieaA-y enough to pass the mark set; by
the regulations. When he was exam-
ined at Camp Travis it was found that
he Avas two pounds under weight.
Then he Avas in the midst of gloom.
“What did you do?” someone asked.
“I drank a Avliole lot of water just
before I Avas Aveighed again and gained
three pounds, one pound more than
Avas necessary,” answered the cheer-

CONSTIPATION
Sow Stomach Caused This
Lady Much Suffering. Black-
Draught Relieved.
Meadorsville, Ky.—Mrs. Pearl Pat-
rick, of this place, writes: “I was
very constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. ■ They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de-
cided to try it. I fo®nd it just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
improved. I got well of the sour stom-
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
dose now and then, and was In good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black-
Draught for it Is the finest laxative
one can use.”
Thedford’s Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
in the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in its action, leaving no
had after-effects, it has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used
it NO-138

Cause of Headache.
B'y knowing the cause, a. disease
may often be avoided. This is parti-
cularly true of headache. The most
common cause of headache is a dis-
ordered stomach or constipation,
which may be corrected by taking a
few doses of Chamberlain’s Tablets.
Try it. Many others have obtained
permanent relief by taking these
Tablets. They are easy to take and
mild and gentle in effect.

The goddess of libenity was created
by the French convention in 1793, and
was enthroned by a public ceremonial.
It is not known who personated the
goddess on the occasion but probably
she was dressed in the French tricol-
or, red, white and blue, witf/h cap and
flowing skirt of classic design. The
French liberty cap was reel, the Amer-
ican, is blue, with a, )r dear of gilt
stars on white. The figure of Lib-
erty on the early American coins had
loose hair, tied behind, a sort of free
and easy gown, with, low neck and
short sleeves and sandals without
