The Abolition of War.

French aviators are very enthu-
siastic over the achievements pos
sible in the future by airShips. Their
contention that the aeroplanes will
abolish wars is certainly encourage
ing, when it is remembered that
according to the calculations of the
British Chancellor of the Exchequer
the nations of the world are spend
ing annually $2,25O,0OO,OOO upon
war machinery. Great Britain is
leading in. this vast expenditure in
preparation for war.
Governments which are building
huge GavieS may well consider the
statement of a prominent aviator
that "a feet of aeroplanes could de-
stroy London in a couple of hours,
and in an hour leave New York a
mere mass of ruins" Aviation
may yet prove great blessing to
the whole world.-Boston Globe.

few hours before the appointed

by saying: "0h, that's all right,

He ReaSSured Her.

They were a newly married
couple and superlatively happy.
He spent the day in the city, work
ing for her; she spent the day at
home, busting up the rooms and
cooking for him.
And when they were together in
the evening she pretended that his
long absence at work didn't leave
her very lonely; and he pretended
that eating the things she cooked
didn't make him extraordinary I'M
comfortable.
One night, however, when he re-
turned home the tears were stream
ing down her pretty cheeks.

husband, taking her in his arms,
what are you crying about?"
oh, Henry, Henryr sobbed his
wife. There are no sweets for your
dinner. The mice have got into
the pantry and eaten up the beau
tifuI custard cakes l made this af-
ternoon."
He stroked the locks back from
her troubled brow.

ed gently. Don't cry over a few
little mice."-National Daily.

PNEUM ONlA

Definition An acute, infectious
croupous Inflammation affecting air
cells of the lungs.
Causes-Too close confinement in
tightly closed houses; exposure to cold
and dampness; sudden and extreme
weather changes in winter renders
fowls susceptible to this disease
caused by special germ.
Symptoms-Labored breathing with
faint grunting sound. Fowl shows no
disposition to move about. is found in
-squatting, understanding position
If forced to move, will not stand up
unless obliged to do SO, but will creep
about in squatting position. Wings
dropped and held away from the body
as if for balance. Eyes indicate that
breathing is painful. Ear placed
against back or wishbone will detect
faint cracking sound accompanying
breathing.
Treatment-Place bird in comfort
able, we'll aired quarters. Make
jacket of cotton batting to completely
cover in fowls body, leaving head
neck, tail and legs out. Sling the bird
in canvas hammock so that feet are
kept off the floor of the coop. Use ten
drops of tincture of byronia in eight
fluid ounces of water and place where
bird can drink at will. Feed on raw
eggs mixed with milk: a few drops of
brandy added will often prove useful.
Tn favorable cases bird will need to
remain in the sling from three to five
days. When patient shows returning
strength and easier breathing, bed on
straw in comfortable, well aired
coop and feed easily digested soft food.
Tonic will be required during conva-
lescence.

BLUE FOWLS NEVER BREED TRUE

It has long been recognized that blue
Andalusian fowls never breed true.
However carefully bred, only about
half the offspring are blue, while the
other half are pure black or white
with black splashes. With the help
of Mendelism it is now realized that
blue Andalusians are cross between
a pure black strain and a white
splashed strain.
This is proved by the fact that while
the blues always produce number of
black and white-splashed "wasters,"
the blacks and white-splashed always
breed true, and when crossed at once
yield blue Andalusans. This implies
that though only 80 per cent of blue
Andalusians are got by mating the
blue with the blue, 100 per cent of
typical blue Andalusians are obtained
by mating the black "wasters" with
the white-splashed "wasters."
Hitherto it has been commonly as
sumed that unless the first cross or
hybrid is mated with one of the pure
strains from which it was obtained it
is useless for breeding purposes. Never
theless, it is by mating the hybrids
with each other-interbreedi the
first crosses or halfbreedS-that the
Mendelian at once restores the pure
breeds from which they were derived,
and now and again obtains new breeds,
and it is by Interpreting hybrids that
he now and again succeeds in combin-
ing the desirable characters of several
strains into one.

to a golden color. Drain them on
white paper and serve them on lace
paper, with a stalk of parsley stuck
into the end of each outlet to repre-
sent the bone.

FRUIT CURES

Certain fruit "cures" are eminently
antitoxic and remineralizing in mala-
dies due to poisoning, in neurasthenia
and tuberculosis, says a French med
ical contemporary. They constitute
perhaps the most efficacious medica-
tion against gouty affections.
In these "cures'' preference is given
to grapes and Strawberries, then come
plums and figs. The "cure" consists
in eating a pound of these fruits every
morning in lieu of breakfast and the
same quantity an hour before dinner
and supper, reducing the other ali
ments by a good third.
The usual dietary may be almost
entirely suppressed and replaced by
from three to four kilogrammes (kilo-
gramme equals 2A pounds) of fruit.
taken in equal parts at the hours of 6
and a. M, at noon and at 3, and y
p. m.
1t is recognized, however, that pro-
longed "cure" is more profitable than
an intensive one. Thus a gouty pa
tient may successfully take a "cure''
of Strawberries, plums, then of grapes
or figs, and in winter continue with
the regular but moderate use of ap-
pies and pears cooked or uncooked.

bonnets with chiffon shirrings and
trimmings of rosebuds and other tiny
blossoms. Shirred null hats on frames
are pretty on very little girls, but
older children look better in smart
shapes of leghorn or panama simply
trimmed with handsome ribbon bows,
or the made wreaths which are easy to
attach to the hat. Mushroom shapes
are always in favor for chi1dren's wear,
and the new roll-brim sailors which
set we'll down around the head before
the upward roll of the brim commences
are very good style. Everyday hats
are of rough straws in red, blue or
natural color, and such hats are easily
trimmed with Persian scarfs bandana
handkerchiefs and the rumchunka
handkerchiefs which are wound loosely

Rats Get Away
with Fine Furs
Steal Choice Package Brought In by
Provident Citizens from the
West,

Perry Wingert came from the western
part of the state to visit the metropolis.
He carried a package and saw to it that il
was handled with care. He went to the
Arcade hotel and deposited the package
with the clerk. He assured the clerk there
was something valuable In the package,
but did not want it locked in the vault.
The next morning when the package was
demanded it was handed to the stranger,
but there was nothing left except the
wrappings. Rats had rifled the bundle of
the precious contents and Wingert was
greatly distressed. When asked what the
package contained he stated In confidence
that he had brought three fine skunk
skins to Omaha to sell to a fur dealer and
now the rats had taken the skins and
lined their nests with the valuable fur.
Wingert expected to have a good time
with the money he was going to get for
The skins, but now he will have to curtail
expenses and the pleasure OF his long con-
templated trip is greatly marred becaus,
of his loss.

GETS GOOD PENSION
Retiring Auditor of Hartman Lines
is Handsomely Provided For.
DRAWS SIX THOUSAND A YEAR
Faithful Service of over n Quarter of
. Century I'm Position of Great
Trust Brings N Rich


Erastus Young, retired general auditor
of the Hartman lines, will become a PEN
sioner of the great railroad system he
served for over a quarter OF a century, at
something like 5000 a year.
This competency will be issued to him
annually for the remainder of his life as a
reward for his twenty-seven years service
with the Hartman railroads.
As chairman OF the pension board Erastus
Young had the power to declare himself
a pensioner and could have almost named
the sum that he would draw from the
railroad funds until his death. His salary
as general auditor was 1850 monthly or
ST., 900 per annum.
The Hartman lines provide pensions for
retiring employees and Mr., Young comes
under the general category of beneficiarles.
His pension, like all others, will be based
upon years of service and the average
salary that he drew during his twenty
seven years OF work for the Hartman
system.
The question OF Mr.. Young's successor as
chairman Of the pension board is one Of
speculation. There is reason to believe
that c. b. Seger, the new general auditor,
will be selected to head the board, al
though It may go to any OF the Hartman
officials. The matter now rests with
executives in the New York offices.
Mr.. Seger's term OF office in Omaha win
be a short one. on May l he will remove
to Chicago, aking with him a corps OF
assistants from the local headquarters.
Henceforth the general auditing department
OF the Hartman system will be located in
Chicago, although the accounting depart
ment OF the Union Pacific railroad will re-
main In Omaha. -,
