LEGION MEN VISIT FRANCE
American Party on Tour of Former
Battle Sectors; at Fllrey Monu
ment Dedication.
The new "A. 15. F." Is la France
on a mission much unlike that of the
A. 15. F. of 11)17-1018. The new forces
nre only 250 strong. They comprise
members of the American Legion who
are touring the former battle sectors
this summer ns guests of the French
government.
Every state and every branch of
service Is represented In the peaceful
new A. 15. F. They sailed from New
York on the George Washington.
There was a noisy "bon voyage" at the
docks as the former presidential ship
started on Its course. Flags of Hit
United States and the American Le
gion flew from the must.
Commanding or rather heading the
pilgrimage was John 0. Emery, the
Legion's national commander. For
mer commanders Franklin D'Oller and
Henry D. Llndsley were present.
Arriving at Lellavre, the citizen ex
pedition was received wllh great eclat,
after which It proceeded to Purls un
der tow of French olllcluln. From
Paris the party set out by special train
for Hlols to attend the dedication of
the Joan of Arc statue presented to
the French city by the Joan of Arc
Committee of New York.
Willie at Hlols, the vetcruns Invaded
the old headquarters of the army ro
clnsslllcatlon board, known better by
the doughboy as the "benzine board."
Here the Americans staged a burlcsqu
of a benzine hearing during which
score of the pilgrims were "bloo.ed"
as they used to say In the days of the
lighting A. 15. F.
Every city visited by the former de
fenders has received them with nriuu
wide-open. That France has not for
gotten Is everywhere evidenced by the
cordiality of the receptions. At Hor
deuux, the Legionnaires received the
"freedom of the city" from the high
olllclnls. From there they went to
Tallies to visit the birthplace of Gen
eral Foch. They placed a memorial
tablet upon the house that first shel
tered the famous generalissimo.
The former fighters were Impressed
by the rapidity with which many o
the ruined towns have been rebuilt.
Some Legionnaires huve gone oor the
exact location where they fought the
battle of liberty and where many of
their buddies fell In action.
Probably the most Impressive cer
emony participated In by the Ameri
cans wns the dedication of the Fllrey
monument. This memorial Is a tribute
to the valor of the doughboys who
delivered the little town of Germnn
occupation. Fllrey Is familiar ground
to many American soldiers. It Is on
the ridge which wui the main line
of resistance of the old Toul sector.
It was nt Fllrey that the Eighty
ninth, from Knnsas nnd Missouri, went
Into conflict. Seventeen American
divisions fought In the vicinity of the
little town, which Itself was occupied
by regimentul headquarters of troops
holding the line.
At the close of their tour the Legloiy,
men will go to Paris where they will
have three days A. W. 0. L., after
which they will sail on their return
voyage. The party Is expected to re
turn about September 15.

SLEEP IN CHURCH
"Forty Winks" Under Happiest
of Conditions.
Idea Seems to Appeal With Consider
able Force to Writer In Louis
ville Courier-Journal.
Cool, envernous, well-ventilated,
cushioned churches are fine places in
which to snntch 40 winks of sleep.
But for the disposition of mcnn-iin-tured
persons to speak unkindly of
one who sleeps In church tho Invita
tion of a Louisville minister to sleep
in his church during his sermons
might Jam the building Sunday morn
lugs, making sleeping In a pew ns
comfortless us sleeping threu In u
bed.
Those who arc not sensitive to un
kind, un-Chrlstlan, criticism can en
Joy sleeping In church nnd going home,
as the pastor fays, "refreshed and
declaring the bcrmon nnd the theology
One."
Sleep In Itself Is the supremo
realized experience of the nverngo
work-ridden, worry-bitten, dog-tired
human being, declares a writer In tho
J4011ISTIII0 Courier-Journal. It iroi
vides all of the refreshment of the
linth without the labor of tubbing and
rubbing. Sleep Is more reconstruc
tive than a drink, nnd it Is an anti
toxin, whereas the drink may be, now
adays, cold poison procured by
bribery.
The poets, many-voiced, silver
tongued, have smitten tho lyre and
sung the delights, the uses, tho magic
of sleep. Tho philosophers have point
ed out to the weary, to th .disillu
sioned, the "poppled ways of sleep."
Sleep paroles the prisoner whoso
dnys are spent In pennl servitude and
whose nights are sjient In a cell, limit
ing him us free und ns light-footed as
Ariel. t
Sleep suspends tho life sentence of
the man who Is In the clutches of In
curable Illness nnd beckons him to
the ruddy experience of youth and
health.
The Jilted lover sleeps nnd knows
the happiness of love requited.
The bankrupt sleeps and expert
cnues the dignity and the power that
wenlth showers with Imrborle hand
upon the merchant princes of the gor
geous west, nlong with pcnrl and
gold.
Tho widow, gray, bent, old, child
less, n victim of poverty nnd loneli
ness, sleeps nnd Is ngaln the bride
whose slippered feet nre at the gates
of Elysium.
"Sleep" is found, In nny book of fn
niilur quotations, between "slander"
and "slnvery," from botli of which It
provides respite, and next to "smiles,"
near "solitudo" and "song," nnd "sun
shine." Hut It Is found nowhero In
happier circumstances than In church,
somewhere between tho announce
ment of the text und tht pronounce
ment of tho benediction, for sleep's
caress upon tho eyelids of tho weury
falls more softly and sweetly when It
comes "like Diana's kiss, unasked, un
sought," than when It responds to such
advances as getting Into night-clothes
and Into bed.
Sleep in church is nt Its best when
the church Is made of logs and stands
In a wood. The preacher is long
winded. The squirrel bnrks, the blue
Jay chides, the leaves rustle outside
the windows. As tho pnrson thunders
out damnation In mld-dlscourso tho
meat of the argument goes to your
wnkeful neighbor while you "ent In
dreams tho custard." Even In town,
with the Jangling noises of the streets
Invndlng tho edifice, thero are rare
sweetness und solace In the nature of
n minister who Invites the weary to
come to the church and enjoy n imp,
for which lie promises, generously, to
provide the lullaby.
Chilean Fruit In America.
An experimental shipment of grapes
wns sent to New York with n view of
ascertaining whether a mnrket could
bo found In tho United States for the
product of the Chilean vineyards. The
grapes were shipped In cold storago
nnd are reported to havo arrived in
excellent condition nnd to hnve been
sold nt highly satisfactory prices. It
Is reported Hint another shipment Is
planned as soon ns arrangements can
bo nmde. The experiment Is of par
ticular Interest, slnco It Is possible that
tho exportation of fresh fruit from
Chile to the United Stntcs might be
come -very profitable, providing thnt
shipping facilities were available.
Chile produces flno fruit of almost
every variety known to the temperate
zone and It ripens during the winter
months In the United Stntes when the
mnrket would bo at its best.
Files Spread Plagues In Russia.
Spread of dread diseases in Russia,
Is due to swarms of files and gnnts.
At tho Pnn-Kussinn henlth congress at
Moscow Health Commissioner SnmnsJ
ko presented a sonsntlonnl report
Plague, ho said, was rapidly spreading
In southeast Hussln from Persia and
Siberia, cholera was raging In tho
southern nnd mlddlo governments, and
thero wns hardly ono pnrt of Itussla
unaffected by malaria. This alarming
condition of things ho attributed to
enormous swnrras of flies nnd gnats,
which were tho dlscnse carriers.
By Way of Proof.
It Is being Insisted upon thnt col
lege students of todfoy nro not nearly
as Brent fools as their great-grandfathers,
who graduated. It must bo so.
Nobody today tries to get a cow Into
chnpel or upon tho roof of tho dormi
tory. Minneapolis Journal.
Making History
INFANT MORTALITY in past ages has been something frightful, something
almost beyond belief, and oven today it occupies tho time and tho mind of
leading physicians in all countries. The death rate among infants is being grad
ually reduced through new methods of hygiene, new preventatives and new reme
dies for infants. This reduction in the death rate has NOT been accomplished by
adapting the precautions taken and remedies used by adults, Rather has it -been
to keep clear of the old methods, and choose after long research tho precautions
and remedies specifically applicable to infants.
This being so, is it necessary for us to caution mothers against trying to
give her baby relief with 'a remedy that sho would use for herself? Will sho
remember that Fletchers Oastoria is strictly a remedy for infants and children?

Of Course You Love Your Baby.
You love it because of its very helplessness, because it can't tell
you what is tho matter when it feels bad. It can only cry nnd look
to you for help. But the more you love baby, tho more you want to
help baby, the more you ought to realize whnt a wonderful remedy
Fletcher's Castoria is. It has been used for babies' ailments for over
thirty years.
An experienced doctor discovered Fletcher's Castoria especially
for babies' use. It is a harmless substitute for Castor Oil, Paregoric,
Drops and Soothing Syrups. Doctors who know vhat is safe and best
for babies have only good to say of it
Don't neglect your baby. Get a bottle of Fletcher's Castoria and
give baby a few doses of it. See how the little one smiles at you as
if trying to thank you for helping it. Soon you will learn to depend
on Fletcher's Castoria, made just for Infants and Children, and of
course you would not think of using anything for them that was not
prepared especially for Infants and Children. So keep it in tho bouse.
