8 Children 1-K)ve CJandy Cascarets LETTERS FROM Y. M. C. A. MAN Careful mothers know that Cascarets in the home mean less sickness, less trouble, less worry, less cost. When one of the kiddies has a white tongue, feverish breath, lour stomach or a cold, a Cascaret quickly and harmlessly "works" the poi sons from the liver and bowels and all is well again. TO MOTHERS! While all children detest castor oil, calomel, pills and laxatives, they really love to take Cascarets because they taste like candy. Cascarets "work" the nasty bile, sour fermentations and constipa tion poison from the child's tender stomach, liver and bowels without pain or griping.. Cascarets never disappoint the worried mother. Each 10 cent box contains directions for children aged one year old and upwards. - ) (The Statesman will publish sev eral interesting letters written by Ifyot. Harold C.

The spectacle of the German peace commissioners sending copies of the armistice back to Berlin by a. courier recalls the great lines of Robert Browning in hfs war poem.

Moir of the right sort, lively; none of, this obr stuff; bring- us back to' normal.''- The major left me fatr. We were listening to an in fantry band that Walter Damrosch has been .training four or five weeks to find the band that is playing jjazs music: "Thaf s the stuff I want now." On an open air stage nnder the greatest difficulties 6leight- of hand men and vandevil performers were trying to please a huge crowd oft soldiers of all nationalities and hundreds of Parisian civilians. The audience was so eager for something that "anything drew a laugh and round applause. I know you have heard all this; I had heard it before leaving; possibly some of the fresh ness of realization that I experience may come to yon thru one affection ately close to you. I was on my way to the American embassy to see Mr. Sharp the other day.

Well, tell him to take yon to the embassy first and then get me there" So I instructed the cocher wher to go and he "Out. monsieured" me. and we settled back for conversation. JI say, things look well on the front, don't they? "But we shan't be ready to take advantage or our gams.

The last woids of the colonel were. "Now are yon sute I am being taken aloag the right streets?" I assured him he was and redirected the cocher and told him to go straight to the Champa de Mars at once. He smiled, cracked his whip over the back of his sorry horse, and my colonel was taken out of sight. Yesterday I went to vUlt a biscuit factoiy the outrut of which the Y bad contracted for. My friend Cur ren from New York has to check up on the output land he finds the Frenchmen very wily) and to Insist that the factories b decently dead and the products palatably eatable. To illustrate. He found one factory getting dirtier and dirtier; he finally found that flour was being dumpt on the floor and the employes walking in on it as they scooped it up; be gave the managers two days to get thoroly clean; two days passed and the factory bad not been toncht; he canceld the Y contract with them; and then he discovered that that was Just what the management wlsht. for it found that the French government would pay more for its product than the Y tho of conrs It was nnder contract with the Y to dellyer its to tal output during the war. Also, he found that the men packing the rail way cars were handing out boxes of cookes to the' people round the yards who. askt for something to eat. No amount of tact or Insistence sems to keep the product np to specifica tions. Now he demands samples, or all products delivered every month. As a result of this ruling I came home from my visit loaded with packages of cookies and raisins and chocolate, not to mention the canned figs and other fruits I tested in the office and these were my first real sweets since I left New York. (How one does mfss sweets!) Thru thes? fourteen factories the Y is rble t keep its' canteens partially rupplird with cookies, dried fruits. crinrlj Jams (occasionally), and sirups.

Is re-registered). These little stories pickt up as It weie accidentally help Americans to realize w"hat these countries over here have stood for four yea. On, the way out to the factory I ran onto an English Jockey of some 50 years of age or more. We were on the Metro together, and he sin gled me out for hi Interlocutor. He wea well boozed. bJt still held his head and feet. He had lived In France more than thirty years, had been round the Chantilly race course 'undreds of times." and ridden for this lord and that.

(Of course, now that I have the tickets I must leave la the morning befote being able to use them. I am leaving them for a friend). This afternoon autumn came to Paris. The sky was heavily clouded. The leaves had begun to fall from the trees, and the winds, coming from the southwest, rustled them along the pavements. A very defiait feeling of a new season came over one. I wat delighted, for the really noticeable changes in seasons Port land does not experience. There Is something satisfactory in realizing that winter, strong to be straggled with, is about to descend on one. (Poor France will suffer terribly for lack of heat, I very much fear).
