NO PoULT,cEs FOR SOLDIERS.
Revolutionary Decision Made by Army
DhveirjanS

Revolutionary Decision Made by Army
Physicians.
Linseed and inseed meal have been
dropped from army medicines, and
the army physicians have been mott
fed that it is the opinion Of the salr-
geon generals office that poultices
have no place in modern therapeutics,
all the good results obtainable from
them being got in much more clean
ly way by hot wet congresses.
The prohibition of the time-honored
1inseed meal, the best material for
poullices, seems to interfere with a
method practiced by large number
of physicians, who would be inclined
to testify that without it our soldiers
would not receive the best care.
There is surely much to be said on
both Sides The psychological effect
at least of a poultice is entirely too
great for a successful family physi-
clan to ignore, and why deprive the
soldier of this old fashioned comfort?

SYMPTOMS or OLD AGE.
n You Have Them, You May Know
You Are Declining.

Here are the three deadly symptoms
of old age:
Selfshness 49, Stagnation 49, Intoler-
ance.
If we find them in ourselves, we
may know we are growing old-even
if we are on the merry side of thirty.
But happily, we have three defenses,
which are invulGerable; if we use
them we shall die Young if we live to
be hundred. They are:
ympathy-Progress-
The first is the hardest to most or
US, because our little prison of Actual
is so immensely important to us.
There is no denying the fact that
when you have toothache yourself,
it is hard to have to consider other
peoples aches. But it can be done,
though it generally involves physical
effort. for we must bestir ourselves
and act; the mere feeling of sympathy
expressed by action is poor, useless
thing; but the Soul, determined not to
grow old, can force the Body to such
physical effort, though there is no de-
nying that it is hard work.-Harper'
Bazaar.

q =
writes Annie Payson Call in Leslie's
Monthly. The truth is that John is
warping himself every day by his
weak dependence upon his own preju-
dices. He is unwilling to look fairly
at another mans opinion, for fear of
being dependent upon it. He is not
only warping himself by his "inde-
pendence," which is pulled up with the
false appearance of strength, but he
is robbing his fellow men; for he can
not refuse to receive from others with
out putting it out of his own power to
give to others. Real giving and receiv-
ing must be reciprocal in spirit, and
absolutely dependent upon each other.
1t is a curious and sad study to
watch the growing slavery CT such in
dependent" people.

Years Beginning on Sunday.

In the course of the present GEN.
fury fourteen years will begin ON
Sunday. A painstaking individual has
computed these occurrences, showing
that in this century Jan. will fall
on Sunday as follows: The common
years 1905, 1911, 1922, 1888, 1889, 1850,
1861, 1867, 1878, 1889 and 1895, and
the leap years 1923, 1866 and 1884.
This is fraction less than the usual
number computed in point of averages,
the first and the last of the Sunday
beginnings falling five years each from
the close of the century. 1t is posi-
BILE for Jan. 1 to occur on Sunday
fifteen times in single century.

HAVE GIFT OF IMITATION.
Hany Animals Seem to Adopt the
Habits of Other Species.

Some animals have wonderful pow.
ers of imitation. Dogs brought up in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick OF licking the
paws and then washing the face.
When a cat has been taught to sit
up for her food her kittens have been
known to initiate her action Darwin
tells of a cat that was in the habit OF
putting her paw into the mouth of a
narrow milk pitcher every time she
got the chance and then licking the
cream off her paw. Her kitten soon
learned the same trick. A lady tells
of a rabbit that she keeps in g. cage
with a monkey and says that Bunnie
has caught many of the monkeys
ways. It is said that starving pigeons
that lave been brought up on grain
will not eat peas to save their lives,
but that if pea-eating pigeons are put

AtrocitY of Ancient Warfare.

hillocks of combustibles, and. mot

Criuin Of Macaroni.

An interesting story is told of the
origin of the word macarOni. 1t
seems that a chef employed by one
of the popes was making him dish
of it and stirred the mixture until
it became of the consistency of hard
tack. Having taken drop too
much the man was afraid OF the papal
anger and resolved to make the dish
into sort of paste, which greatly de-
lighted the pontiff. In his Joy he
cried: Mi carol" (my favorite), and
the pontiff, not catching the words ex-
actly, said "Macaroni? Well in the
future never serve me meal with
out a dish of macaroni.'

The Chickasha contingent at the
game was composed largely Of

and wearing the gold and white.
But there were a few Oklahoma
supporters who wore the crimson
and white Judge Williams, con-
.cerning whose attitude some doubts
were entertained, once on the
ground fell in with the Texans and
made them a spirited speech and
bid them 60 forth and do their duty
like the heros of San Jacinto. Ken
dali Galloway, who, by the way,
is one Of the pest recognized auth
critics on loot ball in the United
States, viewed the battle from the
top Of big tallyho. The result
was a severe blow to him, but by
careful nursing, he will doubtless
recover. Bert Barefoot undaunted
by defeat still contended stoutly
that the Texans deserved to win.
A crestfallen crowd were the Tex
ans as they came home Very
pathetic was it to see Alger Melton
as he removed his colors and sol
emnly soliloquized "This is the
last time I'll ever wear them
henceforth l am an Oklahoman,
aud the colors were folded gently
as a souvenir. Col. Geo. Barefoot
whose Texas loyalty is very strong
got roped in by the Oklahoma
bunch and before he knew it, he
had made them a speech assuring
them Of his support-he is con
graduating himself that he lined up
tor Oklahoma and thinks it will
add materially to his political pros
poets. Mac Bishop, Mart Louthan,
