YANK LEFT GOOD

1 WISHES IM ENGLAND

LONDON. , Not. 25. The Yankee fighting man has left abroad, not only a record for unmatched bravery, but a reputation for unparalleled industry in taking in everything of artistic and historic Interest that was offered him. Wherever he happened to be, 1n England, France or Italy, the Amer

ican soldier Impressed the native residents by his active interest in the fa

mous old things that Europe abounds in and the United States acquires only by purchase. . They still talk about it over- here.

The enthusiasm pleased them, for all

the Europeans, and especially the Eng

lish, have a deep-seated veneration

for their ancient buildings. A Brit

isher tells you about the American

soldiers he has met at Stratford-on-Avon. or in the old buildings in London, and he quite beams over it.

When he went to church in England the American fighter chose Westminster Abbey or St Paul's or in the villages one of the quaint old ivy-covered churches that are more picturesque, than they are hygienic. If you tell the yccar of one of these old churches that you are an American, he beams at you. "O, yes," he says, "we used to have so many American soldiers at our services. Splendid fellows, aren't they, and, they do take an interest in our old things." Any American would be proud of the way the Yanks are spoken of over here. Their courtesy and kindness to the old lady who missed her train; their splendid ' appearance in the Peace day parade in London; their gay bravery all are recounted to you in detail if you reveal the fact that you are from the United States. Should Be Grateful. We- should be very grateful to the splendid Americans, say the nice old ladies from the county manor house. "They send us from German slavery, and they are such nice-looking men, aren't they." , Fictions Loyally Believed. ''The fictions loyally accepted by the residents often are more fascinating than cold fact. One would prefer to believe that the city received

its name from the Greek word for watermelon, because of the shape of the island on which it nestles, rather

than credit its derivation from Traghilon, whence Greek colonists came about 380 B. C. Or that the cypress " bush, growing between two rocks, which shelter a statue of its patron ': saint, Giovanni Orsini, was planted miraculously and is nourished myster- ' iously by that saint's spirit, rather than that it was put there Surreptitiously by his devotees. Or that the . Hon of St. Mark, over its ancient and beautiful Porta Marina, varies from its

statuary type in that the book he holds

once lay open with the customary 'peace to St. Mark inscription and was snapped shut when Venice relinquished the city, rather than that it was placed there at it now stands because Venice was at war in 1454, when tho gate was erected. "Trau literally is a little city on a " little island. It is about sixteen miles west of Spalato, by the road across f the connecting bridge. The town and , its commun have less than : 20,000 inhabitants. It breathes the - air of vmediaevalism." -

Streets Are Very Narrow. "Many. of its streets are: too narrow i for wheeled traffic, and too crooked to make it easy for a pedestrian to find

his way about. They are vaulted frequently by arches, but there is no Vsense of squalor, since nearly every fturn discloses some specimen of Sculptured or architectural beauty.

The houses, many of them built so .well 100 years ago that they have -never been torn down, were placed with tremendous compactness for mili-

tary reasons, but relieved with all possible beauty, because Traurini Slavs and Latins alike had a keen appreciation of the aesthetic. A reminder of this middle age culture is the ? house wherein was born the 'father of j Dalmatian history', Giovanni Lucio. He was Italian; the famous western door of the cathedral, sometimes described as 'the glory of all Dalmatia,' was the ! work of a Croatian. "Trau has been isolated, but also cosmopolitan. Byzantines, Huns, Franks, Genoese and Venetians thought it worth fighting for and the Caracens looted it. Hungary captured it; Napoleon's army took it in 1806, the Austrians gained it seven years later, and since then it has been quiescent, until now. "Kins Bela IV of Irungary fled there after the Tartars had overrun his country, and though the pursuers, as events proved, could not take the strongly intrenched city, he proceeded o the adjoining island, which is still known as Kraglievac, or the king's abode, because of that incident. "Before the world war, Trau had an .inconsiderable trade In fruits and , wine."

Asthma Wouldn't Let Him Lie Down

PARIS, Dee. 9. Despite extraordinary difficulties in the matter of labor and transportation, the Abeims champagne shippers are carrying on their business. Five freight cars of champagne were chipped last week to South America, , and a similar quantity went to Alsace-Lorraine. A Rheims correspondent writes that life in the city, to which 65,000 of its former inhabitants have now returned, remains very difficult. People are still herding together in the unsanitary cellars and basements.

sparsely lit with oil lamps. - Much en vied are those whose old homes have walls standing as far as the first floor. Having rigged up some sort of a celling, they are the proud possessors of a "ground floor house." As for wooden barracks, the price is prohibitive; they cost 50,000 francs to erect, and only "the rich" can afford

them. Public lighting is all but non-existent, and after dark men and women carry revolvers. The American committee formed for the reconstruction of Rheims has a big task. . PAN MOTOR HEAD FREED. CHICAGO, Dec. 9. S. C. Pandolfo, president of the Pan Motor Company of St. Cloud, Minn., was found guilty of misuse of the mails by a jury in the United States District Court late today. Twelve of his associates in the company were acquitted.

SAYS THE WHOLE OF DELAVAN WAS GIVEN SURPRISE

Did Not Believe It Possible for

Tanlac to Restore Mrs. Sheets.

"I couldn't begin to tell all the good Tanlac has done my wife, if I stood here and talked for 'weeks." rjHi

Earle Sheets, a machinist, who lives

ai ueiavan. 111., while in Sutliff & Case's drug store In Peoria, recently. Continuing, he said:

"My wife's health has been so bad for the last seven years that it was almost impossible for her to do her housework. She had scarcely any appetite to speak of, and when she did manage to eat a little something it would sour, gas would form, and she would bloat terribly and be In perfect misery. She was very frail and was as pale as if she had no blood in her veins. She was so weak the least little exertion completely exhausted her. Her nerve3 were in awful bad condition and the least little noise out of the ordinary would upset her. She had an uneasy feeling all the time, as if she feared something dreadful was going to happen to her. She finally got to where she could get but little sleep and would get up in the morning all tired out.? She had been in this condition ad suffered so i long and had taken so many different medir cines without getting any benefit from them, we had both about given up hope of her ever being any better, and she would become awfully blue at times. "She was In this condition when she started taking Tanlac, and almost immediately her health began to improve. I was surely surprised that Tanlac began to help her so soon, and not only was I surprised, but the

whole neighborhood out there at Del-

avan where we live, is talking about her wonderful recovery. She had taken only three bottles of Tanlac before she was on the road to complete recovery. She took a few more and today she is as well as she ever was in her life. She now has a fine appetite, and everything she eats agrees with her perfectly. Her nerves

are in perfect condition and she can sleep all night long and always gets

up in the morning feeling greatly re

freshed. The people in Delavan all say that a medicine that will do for a person in such bad condition as my wife was, what Tanlac did for her, should be told about and announced

in public places for the benefit of evervbody that needs help. A3 for

myself, I am going to tell everybody

I get a chance. Tanlac is sold in Richmond by Clem

Thistlethwaite, in Greensfork by C. D. Corine: in Cambridge City by Mr.

Santa Came Early This Year

He has such a vast amount of work to do in providing presents and Christmas cheer for all the little boys and girls of Richmond and roundabout that he simply can't pack it all into the few short days before Christmas. So he has an agreement, with Richmond merchants to help him out by displaying and distributing toys and other things that he has been busy all year In making. Of course everybody wants to co

operate with Santa and the stores in this important task of bringing happiness to the children. So Santa is now here to consult with parents about the children's wants. Whether it's toys or jewelry or books or what not the time to buy is now. - Santa will surely get peevish if we selfishly procrastinate in our Christmas shopping until the stores are needlessly congested by buying which can be done now. -. . . ' ' :

The Christmas things are here now. The salespeople are here now. There are ample delivery facilities now. . ' But no man is wise enough to say what will happen later. Your safe course is to do your Christmas shopping now. - The stores are offering gift suggestions 'every, day in the Palladium. v
