WHY.- . ,
Are American Soldiers Called
"Doughboys?"
(Copyright, 120, by tha Wheeler Syn
dicate, Inc.)
During the world war many
well-intentioned persons attempt
ed to saddle the American soldier
with all sorts of nicknames
"Yank," "Sammy," "buddy" and
th like but the only one which
stood up under the strain was the
peculiar title of "doughboy."
Probably they didn't know it,
but the, reason that the men of
the A. E. F. accepted the term
and answered to it without hesi
tation was because "doughboy" is
the oldest of all slang names for
American-: infantrymen, dating
back to the days of the revolu
tion.. At this time, tollowing the
custom of the British army, each
of the colonials was served with
three or four cakes a day cakes
which were nothing but flour and
water and usually unbaked. The
soldiers , christened the cakes
"doughboys." and before the end
of the war the men to. whom they
were served were known by the
same name.
The nickname was revived dur
ing the civil war, partly on ac
count of the manner in which it
had been used during the revolu
tion and also because of the
amount of ridicule heaped upon
the large brass buttons of the in
fantrymen. They're as big as
boiled dumplings," announced one
ritic. So the name "doughboy"
stuck, to be resurrected once
jnorc when the American forces
crossed the Atlantic.

WHAT MADGE DID TO PLA-I
CATE MOTHER GRAHAM.
If the end for which I had been
working with such Machiavellian tac
tics had not been designed to protect
my mother-in-law from her own im
prudence I would have been heartily
ashamed of myself at the eager cre
dence she gave my remarks concern
ing Junior. . j
As Dicky would express it, "she
swallowed the bait, nook, line and
sinker, and I felt myself turning a
little red as she' rushed into eager
excited speech.
The blessed Iambi she exclaimed.
"Of course he must not go north;
until settled weather. It's a wonder
you had sense enough to think of it,"
she added caustically, and 1 was glad
of the verbal slap, accepting it as a
bit of deserved punishment for the
way. in which I had played upon my
mother-in-law's anxiety for my small
son. ,
"That means, of course, that you
and Richard will have to move with-,
out me," she went on, "for, of course,
I shall stay here with Richard Sec
ond. And a fine mess you'll make of
it, you two! But I suppose it can't
be helped. Now, look here. Get
a notebook and pencil, and jot down
these instructions. If you follow
them you may be able to get through
the job without breaking more than
half the china and wrecking most of
the furniture."
Mother Graham Dictates.
I rose with every outward aspect
of meekness, brought the notebook
and pencil, and sat down as she had
commanded. 1 was determined not
to flinch -nor to show any sign of
uneasiness or irritation during the
ordeal which I saw in front of me.
That it was to be an ordeal, no one
knew better than I. There have
been many such in my life ; with
Dicky's dictatorial and irascible
mother. She is never so happy nor
so irritating as when she is in charge
of some troublesome household
emergency, and issuing orders con
cerning it. But, to do her justice,
she is a housekeeper and managei
par excellence, and I knew that

by many of the points contained in
her homily,

will probably go only a few miles
in a van, you won't have to be quite
so particular.
A Message for Dicky.
I wisely kept to myself what I
feared; that our- belongings would
have to be put into a very inferior
warehouse, or moved a long dis
tance on account of the housing sit
uation.! A letter from an acquain
tance in a suburb near New York
had given me a glimpse of the xon
ditions, but I had not mentioned it,
because I had never dreamed that
anything in the situation could mat
ter to us, secure in the ownership
of our own home.
"But the thing I wish to impress
upon your mind most," Mother Gra
ham declared, "is that those old ma
hogany pieces of mine simply must
have every bit of their surface cov
ered or they will scratch. Put that
down and underscore it."
I repressed the desire to tell her
that I had seen and had cared for
old mahogany before Fever met her.
My mother had a few choice pieces
which I brought with me to my
new home. But Mother Graham, I
think, all the years has been actually
jealous of them. She never refers
to their existence,' speaks only of
her own; j
"Then the china," she began, and
from that point her voice went on
for what seemed to me an inter
minable period, while I demurely
jotted down instructions until my
fingers ached with fatigue. ,
"I don't suppose you'll remember
one-tenth of this, or do ft at all as
I've suggested," she said ungra
ciously at last, when I had begun
to feel that she must have brought
out every idea she had tucked away
in her brain for the last SO years.
"But at least I've done my duty.
Now go, away and. let me take a
nap. I need one after trying to
pound this into your head. And
when Richard comes, send him to
me. But don't tell him I've changed
my mind. It'll do ' him good to
sweat a little." ,
She smiled grimly, and I felt the
echo of her words sounding In my
own soul. Worn out with her long
disquisition, I felt that it would be
but simple justice for Dicky also to
face the music for a little while.
So it was that when my husband
came home smiling with somewhat
the expression of the famous canary
swallowing cat, I added no comment
or illumination to the terse news I
gave him:
''""ur mother, wishes to sec you at
lonce."

a frog or tjvo. But he didn't think
that that was much. He didn't
seem to have much luck, down on
the ground. So he climbed a tall
hemlock, to see if he could find a
squirrel's nest, or some bird's eggs.
Fatty loved to climb trees. Up in
the big hemlock he forgot, for a
time, that he was still hungry. It
was delightful to feel the branches
swaying under him, nad the bright
top of the tree and wound himself
around the straight stem. The thick,
springy branches held him safely,
and soon Fatty was fast asleep. Next
to eating, Fatty loved sleeping. And
now he had a good nap. ,
Fatty Coon woke up at last,
yawned, and slowly unwound him

was terribly hungry now. And he
felt that he simply must find some
thing to eat at once. ;

IF KIDNEYS AND
BLADDERBOTHER
Take Salts to flush Kidney
and neutralize irritat
ing acids.
Kidney and Bladder weakness re
sult from uric acid, says a noted
authority. The kidneys filter this
acid from the blood and pass it on
to the bladder, where it often re
mains to irritate and inflame, caus
ing a burning, scalding sensation,
or setting up an irritaton at the neck
of the bladder, obliging, you to seek
relief two or three times during the
night. The sufferer is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes
with a scalding sensation and is
very profuse; "again, there is dif
ficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
it, because they can't control urina
tion. While it is extremely annoy
ing and sometimes very painful, this
is really one of the most simple
ailments to overcome. Get about
four ounces of Jad Salts from your
pharmacist and take a tablespoonful
in a glass of water before breakfast,
continue this for two or three days.
This will neutralize the acids in the
urine so it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary
organs" which then, act normally
again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harm
less, and is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and subject to urinary
disorders caused hj uric acid irrita
tion. Jad Salts 'is splendid for kid-,
neys and causes no bad effects
whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effer
vescent lithia-water drink, which
quickly relieves bladder trouble. '

all the branches carefully. Pretty
soon Fatty smiled. He smiled be
cause he was pleased. And he was
pleased because he saw exactly
what he had been looking for. Not
far below him was a big nest, built
of sticks and lined with bark and
moss. It was 'a crow's nest. Fatty
decided, and -he lost no time in slip
ping down to the crotch of the tree
where thetnest was perched.
There were four white eggs in
the nest the biggest crow's eggs
Fatty had ever seen. And he began
to eat hungrily. His nose became
smeared with egg, but- he didn't
mind that at all. He kept thinking
how good the eggs tasted and how
he wished there were more of them.
There was a sudden rush through
the branches of the tall tree. . And
Fatty Coon caught a hard blow on
his head. He felt something sharp
sink into his back, too. And he
clutched at the edge of the nest to
keep from falling.
Fatty was surprised, to say the
least, for he had ' never known
crows to fight like ; that. And he
was frightened, because his ,; back
hurt. He couldn't fight, because he
was afraid he would fall if he let go
of the nest.
There was nothing to do but run
home as fast as he could. Fatty
tried to hurry; but there was that
bird, ieating and clawing his back,
and pulling him first one , way and
then another. He began to think
he would never reach home. But
at last he came to the; old poplar
where his mother livfd. And soon,
to his great joy, he reached the hole
in the big branch; and you may well
believe that Faity was glad to .slip
down into the darkness, where his
mother and his brother, Blackie,
and Fluffy and Cutey, his sisters,
were all fast asleep. He was glad
because he knew that no crow could
follow him down there.

that Fatty's back was sadly torn

"What on earth is the matter?"
she exclaimed.
Poor Fatty told her. He cried a
