PORTUGUESE

Saviors Of Portugal are Portu-
gals new farmers. In the south of
the little kingdom a serious attempt
is being made to reclaim about TO-
100000 acres, or A per cent. of the
total area Of Portugal. Some ener-
getic people, in combination with
the municipal authorities, have set
to work in the district of Serpa upon
100000 acres, dividing it into all
lotments Of Is acres each and let
ting it at a nominal rent, calculated
according to the estimated value of
the land. The highest quit rent is
$3.50 and the lowest 40 cents per
allotment, free of local taxes and
rt'cs for ten years. A ~heterogen-
eous nix IRE Of settlers already has
taken 1s5ession of their tenements.
Carpenters, masons, doctors, chem
lists, BARRIERS, seamstresses, tailors
and beggars figure in the motley
crowd. The success of the scheme,
as far as it has gone, has stirred the
ambition Of the residents in a large
part of the north of Portugal, where
a project on similar lines is being
set on foot to bring back into culti-
vation something like half a mil
lion Of acres.

FIGHTING BEFORE LADIES"


The Hon. Thomas Sharkey, ref
ereeing g lightweight bout at the
Englewood carnival, rebuked a too
energetic pugilist. Remember" he
said, severely, "you are fighting be-
fore ladies'"
The refining influence Of women
upon all conflicts, from polo to poll
tics, is a pleasant theory. A greater
man than Sharkoy once disputed it.
Telling how the wife of an opponent
had been admitted to a famous ring
side, he said: "Refnin' influence
Of woman, huh I'd got him good
an licked when she sings out: Give
it to himp an in less'n a minute
he'd spiked me in the shin"
Women watched the fercest
jousts Of helmeted knights in the
days Of chivalry, when broken necks
were not uncommon. They wit
messed the combats of glodiators, as
they still do the bullfghts in Spain
and Mexico. They joy in the hot
fights of the football field, a more
prolific source of injury than the
Prize ring. Women are the cause
of most private warfare, as land is
the cause of most national warfare.

The Personal Touch.

The manner of wearing clothes has
q great deal to do with the results OBJ
tanned. There are women who have
good clothes, correct in cut, properly
designed and quite up to date in ap-
pearance, yet these women never look
well dressed because they do not get
their clothes on as they should. There
is a lack of style, a missing some
thing which is noticeable without be-
ing altogether definable. There is
needed just a little personal touch
which is elusive yet which stands for
SC much in the completed whole. 1t is
difficult to say just where the fault
lies. There are other women who
look well in anything. A bingham
gown takes on style and chick worn

MADE THE OPPORTUNITY
How Educator Succeeded in Desire
to Address Students.

A distinguished educator of Boston.
who once visited a western college
during examination week, was, for
some reason or other, no asked to
address the students, as he had eX-
pected he would be. In chapel ne
was merely requested to lead in pray
er, which he did in this wise:
BE pleased, rather in Heaven, to
guide the steps of the president OF
this college. Thou knowest that he
vas a clasmate of Thy servant, a
graduate of the class of '84, taking
high honors. Thine eye hath looked
with favor upon the happy choice that
resulted in his appointment, with the
consent. of the trustees, as the head
of this institution. Thou knowest
that the students of this college ought
to look upon him as a friend as well
as their president. Thou knowest
that thy servant is well pleased with
the high standards of scholarship
here prevailing and with the right
e~ousness and loyalty of the stu
dents"
Finally, to the intense delight OF
the students, the visitor concluded MS
prayer as follows:
'.And l thank Thee for this oppor-
tunity to address the students OF n
college"

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.

To the Editor:
! noticed somewhere recently
would not say positively that it was in
your columns-an article on the White
House which contained several mis-
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1909 and that it's first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1900.
The original mansion was begun in
1892. In 1914 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1918.
Another of the errors in the article
ready-prepared paint is used on the
White House to make it beautifully
white.
l noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that canned" paint
should be used on such an important
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
1t so happened also that I knew
white lead and linseed oil-nOt ready
mixed paint-were used on the White
House, because l had just read a book
let published by a firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu-
facture pure white lead. In that book
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but "the
best and purest of paint could be
used" and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even if it is only a date
or a statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

ENGLAND Mourns Dairy Butter.

The London Times asserts that gen.
uine dairy butter is a thing past pray
ing for. Four-fifths of the population
of London, the Times asserts, have
never see it in their lives. Those who
know what it is have great difficulty
in procuring it, and cannot obtain it
in many cases at any price. What is
called genuine butter in London, the
Times says, is blended and reworked

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.

In the opinion of n who has trav-
eled much and observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United States to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun-
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark, to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be-
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, Gis-
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with ire
sistible force to the independent-spir-
tied Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin-
cipality; acknowledging no master
ave the law-and possibly his fem
mime helpmeet; cringing to no en-
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest bounty
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact. He accepts as a mat
ter of course the fertile soil which
produces in abundance every guilty.
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as
less favored mortals annually travel
hundreds of miles to find. He is con-
tented, but small credit is his for that,
for how could he well be otherwise
than content? 1t is sad that such
idealistic conditions may not con-
tinue, but it is written that the pres
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of it's Incompatible fea-
lures. A railroad has recently cut it's
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustic of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the worlds history-the good things
that are ours without price invariably
pass from our hands before we come
to understand their value. The White
River country will shortly be discov-
cred anew by a class of immigrants
better capable of judging its POSSIBLE
ities-the men who seek modest
homes where the 'lay of the land
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tie can fatten on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en-.
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.

O o NIGHTS SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stlmu'
lants" under such circumstances IS
like setting the house on fire to see
if you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a Wlde
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way OF
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years ! had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medl-
cine. the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and SO on
but in a few days that craving, gnaW-
ing feeling would start up, n
would vomit everything l ate n
drank.
when T. started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloatlng
feeling which was so distressing dis
appeared entirely.
'My mother was very much both
cred with diarrhea before ccmmenc-
ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom'
ach was SO weak she could not digest
her food. Since using Grape-Nuts she
is well, and says she don't think she
could live without it.
ut is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for ! can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper OF
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when
1 could not realize what they meant
by a 'bad stomach" There is no
medicine so beneficial to nerves and
brain as a good nights sleep, such as
YOU can enjoy after eating Grape
Nuts"
