London, Like South Bend, Ind., Clean City -By STEPHEN LEACOCK. Before setting down my impres sions of the great English metropo lis—a phrase which I have thought out as a designation for Lcndon—I think it proper to offer an initial apology. I find that 1 receive im pressions with great difficulty, and have nothing of that easy facility In picking them tip which is shown by British writers on America. I re member Hugh Walpole telling me that he could hardly walk down Broadway without getting at least *.; worth, and on Fifth avenue $5 worth, and I recollect that St. John Krvin% came up to my house in Mon treal, drank a cup cf tea, borrowed some tobacco and got away with *60 worth of impressions of Canadian life and character. But T have since pieced together my impressions as conscientiously as I could, and I present them here. If they seem to he a little bit modeled on British impressions of America, 1 admit at once that the influence is there. We writers all act and react on one another: and when I see a good ihing In another man's hook 1 react on it at once. London, the name of which is al ready known to readers. Is beautiful ly situated on the River Thames, which here sweeps in a wide curve with much the same breadth and ma jesty ns the St. Jo viver at South Bend. Ind. London, like South Bend itself, is a city of clean streets and admirable sidewalks and lias an ex cellent water supply. Imposing Barber Simps. The city is able to boast of many handsome public buildings and offices which compare favorably with any thing on the other side of the At lantic. On the bank of the Thames itself rises the power house of tlie Westminster Electric Supply corpora tion. a handsome modern edifice in «yy» FOR GRIP Grip, Grippe, La Grippe, Influenza, Colds, call it what you please, “Seventy-seven” is needed—30c.

DRINK WATER TO HELP WASH OUT KIDNEY POISON If Your Back Hurts or Bladder Bothers You, Begin Taking Salts. When jour kidneys hurt and your I .ark feels sore don't get scared and proceed to loud your stomach with a lot of drugs that excite the kidneys and irritate the entire urinary tract. Keep your kidneys clean like you keep your bowels, clean, b>* Hushing them with a mild, harmless salts which helps to remove the body’s urinous waste and stimulates them to their normal activity. Tito function of the kidneys is to filter the blood. In 21 itours thej' strain from it 500 grains of acid and waste, so we can readily understand the vital importance of keeping the kidneys active. Drink lots of good W'ater—>ou can’t drink too much; also get from any pharmacist about four ounces of .lad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast each morn ing for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litliia, and tips been used for years to help clean and stimulate clogged kidneys; also to neutralize the acids in the system so they ure no longer a source of irrita tion, thus often relieving bladder weakness. •Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure; makes a delightful effervescent lithia-water drink, which ever.vonc should take now and the nto help keep their kidnejs clean nad active. Trj' this; also keep up the water drinking, nnd no doubt you will won der what became of jour kidney trou ble and backache. By all means have your physician examine your kidneys at least twice a year. the later Japanese style. Hose by are the commodious premises of the Irn- i perial Tobacco company, while at no great distance the Chelsea Gas works i add a striking feature of rotundity. Passing northward one observes West minster bridge, notable as a princi pal station of the underground rail way. This station and the one next above it, the Charing Cross one, are have made my way to the Tower but for the fact that I made a fatal dis covery. "When a Londoner says. "Have you seen the Tower of London?” the answer is. "No. and neither have you." Take a parallel case of the British museum. Here is a place that is a veritable treasure house. A repository "Is that the Itritisli Museum?" I asked. connected by a wide thoroughfare called Whitehall. One of the best American drug stores is here situated. The upper end of Whitechapel opens into the majestic and spacious Trafal gar square. Here are grouped in imposing prox imity the offices of the Canadian Pa cific and other railways, the Interna tional Sleeping Car company, the Mon treal Star and the Anglo-Duich bank. Two of the best American barber shops are conveniently grouped near the square, while the existence of a tall stone monument in the middle of tl'.a square itself enables the Amer ican visitor to find them without dif ficulty. A little further ou one finds one self in the heart of financial London, that strange and mysterious thing called “the City.” Here all the great financial institutions of America—the First National Bank of Milwaukee, the Planters National Bank of St. Louis, the Montana Farmers Trust company and many others—have eith er offices or their agents. The Bank of England—which acts as tlie London agent of the Montana Farmers Trust company—and the London County hank, which represents the Peoples Deposit ccmpany of Yonkers, N. Y., are said to he in the neighborhood. Visit to Tower. A little beyond the city, and fur ther down the river, the visitor finds this district cf London terminating in the gloomy and forbidding Tower, the principal penitentiary of the city. Here Queen Victoria was imprisoned for many years. Excellent gasoline can be had at the American garage, immediately north of the Tower, where motor repairs of all kinds are also carried on. These, however, are but the super ficial pictures of London, gathered by the eye of the tourist. A far deeper meaning is found in the examination uf the great historic monuments of the city. The principal ones of these are the Tower of London (just men tioned), the British museum and West minster Abbey. No visitor to London should fail to see these. Indeed, he ought to feel that his visit to Eng land Is wasted unless he has seen .them. 1 speak strongly on the point because I feel strongly on it. To niy mind there is something about the grim fasrination of the historic Tow er. the cloistered quiet of the museum j and the majesty of the ancient abbey, which will make It the regret of my life that I didn't see any one of the three. The Tower of London I most cer. tainly intended to inspect. Each day, after the fashion of every tourist, I wrote for myself a little list of things to do, and I always put the Tower of London on It. No doubt the reader knows the kind of little list I mean. It runs: 1. Go to bank. 2. Buy a shirt. 3. National Picture Cullery. 4. Kazor Blades. 5. Tower of London. (i. Soap. This intinerary, I regret to say, was never carried out in full. I was able at times both to go to the band and buy a shirt in a single morning; at other times I was able to buy l-azor blades and almost to find the Nation al Picture gallery. Meantime I was urged on all sides by my London ac quaintances not to fail to see the Tower. "There’s a grim fascination about the place," they said, "you mustn't miss It.” I am quite certain that in due course of time I should Stop Rheumatism! S. S. S.

It contains, for instance, the famous papyrus manuscript of Thotmes II of the first Egyptian dynasty, a thing known to scholars all over the world as the oldest extant specimen of what can be called writing; indeed, one can here see the actual evolution (I am quoting front a work of references, or at least from my recollection of it) from the Ideographic cuneiform to the phonetic syllabic script. Every time I have read about that manu script end have happened to be in Orillia, (Ontario) or Schenectady (X. Y.), or any such place, 1 have felt that 1 would he willing to take a whole trip to England to have just five minutes at the British museum, just five, to look at that papyrus. The first time I went by it in a taxi. I (elt quite a thrill. “Inside those wiHls,’’ I thought to myself, "is the manuscript of Thotmes II.” The next time I actually stopped the taxi. “Is that tlie British museum?” I asked the driver. “I think it is something of the sort, sir," lie said. I hesitated. “Drive me.” I said, "to where I can buy razor blades." The Abbey, I admit, is indeed ma jestic. I did not intend to miss going into it. But I felt, as so many tourists have, that I wanted to enter it in the proper frame of mind. But by bad luck I never struck both the frame of mind and the Abbey at the same time. But the Londoners, after all, in not seeing their own wonders, are only like the rest of the world. Tlio peo ple who live in Buffalo never go to see Niagara Falls; people In Cleveland don’t know which is Mr. Rockefeller’s house; and people live, and even die, in New York without going up to the top of the Woolworth building. No description of London would be complete without a reference, however brief, to the singular salubrity and charm of the London climate. This is seen at its best during the autumn and winter months. The climate of Lon don. and Indeed of England generally, is due to the influence of the gulf stream. The way it works is thus: The gulf stream as it nears the shores of the British Isles and feels the pro pinquity of Ireland, rises into the air. turns into soup and comes down on London. At times the soup Is thin, and is. in fact, little more than a mist; at other times it has the consistency of a thick potage St. Germain. London people are a little sensitive on the point, and flatter their atmosphere hy calling it a fog: hut it is not; it is soup. The no tion that no sunlight ever gets through, and that in the London win ter people never see the sun, is. of course, a ridiculous error, circulated, no doubt, by the jealousy of foreign nations. T have myself seen the sun plainly visible in London, without the aid of glasses, on a November day, in broad daylight: and again one night, about 4 o’clock in the afternoon, I saw the sun distinctly appear through the clouds. The whole subject of daylight In the London winter is, however, one which belongs rather to the technique of astronomy than to a hook of de scription. In practice, daylight is but little used. Electric lights are burned all the time in all houses, buildings, railway stations and clubs. This prac tice, which is now universally observ ed, is called daylight saving. The Igitidon Mind. I have neglected, so far, to say anything about the mind of London. This is a thing that is always (put into any book of discovery and observation and I can only apologize for not hav ing discussed it sooner. I am quite familiar with other people's chapters on "The Mind of America," and "The Chinese Mind," and so forth. Indeed, so far as I know, it has turned out that almost everybody all over the world has a mind. Nobody nowadays travels even in Central America or Thibet, without bringing back a chap ter on "The Mind of Costa Rica,” dr on the "Psychology of the Mongo lian." It is quite obvious, then, that there is such a tiling as the mind of Lon don: and it is all the more culpable in ‘me to have neglected it inasmuch ns my editorial friend in New York had expressly mentioned It to me be fore I sailed. "What.” said he, lean ing far over his desk, after his mas sive fashion, and reaching out into the air, "what is in the minds of these people? Are they,” he added, half to himself, though I heard him, "are they thinking? And if they think, what do they think?" I did, therefore, during my stay in London, make an accurate study of the things that London seemed to be thinking about. As a comparative basis for this study I brought with me a carefully selected list of the things that New York was thinking about at the moment. These T selected from the current newspapers in the propor tions to the amount of spare allotted to each topic and the size of the head ing t^at announced It. Having thus a working idea of what I may call the mind of New York. T was able to collect and set beside it a list of similar topics taken from the Lon don press to represent the mind of London. The two placed side, by side made an interesting piece of psycho logical analysis. They read as follows: THE MIND OF THE MIND OF NEW YORK LONDON What Is it thiuking?What la It thinking? 1. Do chorus girlsl. Do chorus girls make good marry well? wives? 2. What is red hair 2. Is red hair a sign a sign of? of temperament? (ADVERTISEMENT.) (ADVERTISEMENT.)

Literary Repartee Looking over these lists, 1 think it is better to present them without comment. I feet sure that somewhere or other in them one should detect the heart throbs, the pulsations of two great peoples. But I don't get it. In fact the two lists look to me terribly like "the mind of Costa Rica.” The same editor also advised tne to mingle, at his expense, in the bril liant intellectual life of England. "There,” he said, "is a coterie of men, probably the most brilliant group east of the Mississippi (I think he said the Mississippi). "You will find them," he said to me "brilliant, witty, filled with repartee." He suggested that I should send him back, as far as words could express it. some of this brilliance. I was very' glad to be able to do this, although I fear that the results were not at all what he had anticipated.
