the common task. Catnedrals had to be

Government to Start Picture Shows

TT NCLE SAM himself is going into
~ the moving picture show business.
With the authority of President Taft,
contract has been entered into by
the government officials and Chicago
firm for the purpose of reproducing in
moving pictures all of the various &C
tivities of the nation. The pictures
will be shown in hundreds of moving
picture houses Marines at work on
battleships, gunners firing at the hulk
of an old battleship, cavalry drills,
mine and rescue work, plant and ami
NAL industry, road building and every
single activity of the government will
be shown on the films.
The problem of educating the public
to the work being done by it's own
government was carefully considered
by the president and members of his
cabinet before the contract was en-
tered into. Each cabinet officer was
then authorized to make his own ar

A Queer Cure for Headaches

very curious method employed

curing bad acute forms of headache

she pricks certain cross that was
erected in 1874 near the village. Nv
this means it is believed that tho
headache is made to center the
wood" where it will remain for at
least fortnight. This "cure" is at.
tributed to the intervention of the
Virgin Mary, who is said to have an.
peared in the aforementioned wear
where the cross is erected, with q
promise that she would per 'orm mir
acles ito prove her descent at that
spot" Adjoining the cross for Cur
ing headaches is another that is re-
puted to be of great service in the
cure of disease of the scalp. All that
the sufferers need do is to come and
pray there, leaving their bonnets or
caps behind them, attached to a

Ever Eat Crawfish Soup?

We see in a newspaper an adver.
tisement that reads thus. "Crawfish
soup today" We would not object to
trying it. The crawfish is trim and
clean little animal It's habits are
fine, and it lives a pure and happy
life 1t would commend itself as
much as lobster, for it belongs to
the same family, and is certainly the
more fascinating member of it.
The older boys didn't think of craw-
fish soup in their younger days, else
it might have been one of the joys
of life. Rummaging the little streams
for crawfish would have been a ia
vorite sport if the search wound up
with bowl of soup. We tried 1t
once with mussels, but it didn't work.
They didn't have the faintest flavor
of an oyster. 1t would have been
great satisfaction, for mussels were
plentiful in boyhood days.
Crawiish soup, fried mussels, and
pawpaws for dessert might have been
a sort of kingdom come to a boy be-
fore the war if he had only got on to
crawfish soup.-Ohio State Journal.

WASHINGTON. Cities outgrow

Washington YVES known three-quarters
of century ago as the City of Magnif-

Uncle Sam Builds Prison for Women

A PRISON within a prison is being
"A built at Leavenworth, Kan, and it
will be the first exclusive federal
prison for women in the United States.
The new Jail is being built within the
walls Of the United States peniten-
tiary, but it will have a wall of it's
own and the inmates will be more Sc
curely shut off from the world than
the more desperate men confined in
the mems prison.
This inside prison will have room
for about 500 women, there being now
about that number in the various
state penitentiaries in the United
States, the government paying the
states for their keep. These women
have been convicted mainly of viola.
tons of the postal laws, smuggling,
counterfeiting or white Shaving.
While the women's prison will be
under control of the warden, there
will be woman superintendent and
under her corps of subordinates.
Because of being confined behind
double walls no guards will be neces-
sary. 1t will be a rule that no men.
especially men prisoners, be allowed
