How looking at it from your
wife's point of view, don't you
thing it would be a good idea
to put in a good kitchen sink?
Outside of the added cleanly
convenience of the thing, look
at it from a health standpoint.
Talk it over with your wife and

Fact* on Visitors.
Either 1 was particularly fortunate
or others are particularly fastidious.
The guide who showed me the Holy
8epuichre in Jerusalem was not par­
ticularly noisy or profane or palpa­
bly mercenary; he was rather more
or less sympathetic than the same
sort of man who might have shown
me Westminster abbey or Stratford-
on-Avon. *
He was a small, solemn, owlish old
man, se far from deserving the charge
of not knowing the Bible, he deserved
rather a gentle remonstrance against
bls assumption that nobody else knew
it If there was anything to smile at,
in associations so sacred, it was the
elaborate simplicity with which he
told the first facts of the Gospel story,
as if he were evangelizing a savage.
Anyhow, he did not talk like a cheap­
jack at a stall, but rather like a teach­
er in an infant school.
He made It very clear that Jesus
Christ was crucified. In case anyone
should suppose he was beheaded; and
often stopped In his narrative to re­
peat that the hero of these events
was Jesus Christ, lest we should fancy
it was Nebuchadnezzar or the duke of
Wellington. 1 do not In the least mind
being amused at this, but I have no
reason whatever for doubting that he

Legion I* Endeavoring to Find Man
Alleged to Have Helped Slacker
Reach Germany.
The American Legion is searching
for the man who is reported to have
aided Grover C. Bergdoll, notorious
slacker, Ln hJs escaj»e from Canada to
Germany, according to Ix-muel Holies,
national adjutant of the -Legion, who
said that the Legion is especially con­
cerned in that Bergdoll Is alleged to
have obtained his passport in Winni­
peg by using an American Legion but­
ton and the army discharge papers of
a Legionnaire.
Mr. Holies has appealed to the De­
partment of Justice to ascertain the
facts in the case and proposes, If the
report is true, to see that the man
is apprehended, expelled from the Le­
gion and brought to a speedy trial.
Bergdoll has been the target of nu­
merous attacks of the American le­
gion. When he "escaped" from prison
a reward of $500 was offered for his
capture and a numhur of Legion posts
in many parts of the country took
similar action to bring about his cap­
ture.
fine post adopted resolutions
urging the President to demand the
release of the two Americans who tried
tn recover Bergdoll In Germany.
