Saws Ants Do Not Cooperate.

M. Cornetz, a practfsed observer OF
insect life asserts that ants know
nothing of cooperation in their social
life. In proof he cites an experiment
which any one can repeat. Offer an
ant a piece Of cheese shaped like
shuttle; it seizes the tip, turns 1t
about and starts dragging it in the d.
rection of it's nest. Other ants arrive
and seize the cheese by its sides. II
continues to advance, but more slowly
There is no united effort; each ant
Is trying to turn the crumb Of cheese
around. II we chase OF the ants on
the right the cheese will turn to the
right, for the other ants are pushing
it. Chase of those on the left and II
turns to the left for the same reason
Chase of the one that is pulling it and
it islands still, for the ants on each SIDE
counteract each other.
M. Cornetz holds this proof that
each ant Is acting for himself alone.

CURING Wood.

Wood has contagious diseases! A
stick of wood in a lumber yard may be
sick and infect other timbers, which
later may develop the disease when
they are supporting weights in new
building. Some of the diseases are so
contagious that in building they will
Jump several feet across masonry or
brick to some stick Of healthy wood
Cures were recently discussed by the
American Society Of Mechanical En-
gineers.
Most Of the diseases are varieties OF
dry rot caused by fungus. and most
of the varieties of dry rot fungus can
not stand heat much over 100 degrees
so the most likely cure is to close a
building up tight, if any beams are in
fected, and heat it up to 100 or 140 de-
grees. Even this is not always sue
cessful, for ends of beams are buried
in the outer brick walls and the heat
may not reach them.-Saturday Eve

TYPICAL DINNER IN FRANCE
Princess Hassan Tells of a Meal and
Its Service in the Land Of
True Epcures.

typical French dinner-not an
dinner as a small bridesmaids fam
lily would have-is ,ncomparably SUI
perior to the plain roast dinner
There would be. first of all, few
the year. Radishes, ice cold. sardines,
olives, caviar. Just a little of each
with which to awaken the appetite.
then the soup to excite gently the
liquids of the throat and stomach,
then little entree-usually a bit Of
fish with it's appropriate vegetable,
or handful of vegetables favored
with meat sauce. Then, and not till
then. does the chief course appear.
1t may be roast. or game, or
chicken, or chops. but In no case will
1t be anything which Is not In har-
mony with the previous courses and it
will be eaten in moderation. for. the
edge Of the diners appetite will have
been dulled by the lighter foods which
have preceded it. With it comes the
sdldu-FdIleu throughout the year ny
all the possible changes of the sea-
son, and never, never by any posi-
bility will it be such a dreadful green
hybrid as the romaine, strawberry
and green pepper thing After the
salad there will be fruit or mellow
cheese, and then coffee. 1t will take
two hours to eat such a dinner, but it
will take only half what the typical
American dinner costs to pay for it.,
and there will be no indigestion aft
erward no matter of what the din
ner is composed.-Princess Hassan in

INDIGESTION
A Disorder that Breeds Dis
ease in the Body, and an
Easy Way to Cure it.

Take care of the stomach and you will
have little need for the doctor.
When the stomach begins to show
signs of disorder; when the food digests
slowly and with discomfort; when you
have heartburn: feel bloated and uneasy,
YOU are in a condition that needs attez
ton.
Prickly Ash Bitters corrects the dis
ordered stomach by strengthening and
toning up the digestive organs, driving
the badly digested food into the bowels
and thence out of the system.
Constipation is nearly always pres
emit when the stomach becomes sour or
disordered. Prickly Ash Bitters con-
tains the medicinal qualities which act
as a restorative and regulator for the
stomach and bowels. 1t strengthens the
digestive organs, cures constipation and
prevents the return of bilious conditions.
Thousands of people who have re-
ceived lasting benefit from this great
remedy willingly testify to its power in
curing indigestion, constipation and kid
ney trouble.

tried many remedies. but Prickly Ash BitteTs II

1t is not generally known that Liv-

of devoting himself to the work of "a
pioneer of Christianity in China 1t
was as such that he offered himself
to the London Missionary society IN
1887, but when he had received his
diploma from the faculty Of physicians
and surgeons in 1910, he found China
closed to him, as Great Britain was
then at war with the country. 1t was

New People For Arkansas

1t Is reported that colony of
1000 persons from Kansas will
come to Arkansas in time to get
settled and to get in next years
crop. They will be placed on a
tract of 1000 acres belonging
to a lumber company in Jeffer-
son county. It is immigration
such as this, instead of foreign
ers, most desired in the settle
ment OF the unused lands of this
state. They are experienced far
mers and can readily adapt them
selves to such changes of condi-
ton as they may find here. The
drouth in both Kansas and Ne
braska as we'll as the inevitable
back fow' of the human tide
will work together to give Ark
ansas a largely increased popula-
ton and much decreased amount
of unused land when the next
federal census is taken.-Fort
Smith Times Record.
The coming of 1000 farmers
from another state to a better
state is good. In our scheme of
settlement Of immigrants, how
ever, the colonization plan is of
doubtful merit. 1t is a fine thing
for the man or men who have a
large body of land to dispose of,
but it is not best for the state
nor for the new settlers. 1t is
not probable that all of the lands
in a given tract are good and
hence, some of the colony will
not do so we'll. 1t is better for
new Corners to scatter out, get
the best lands and location they
can, and rub elbows with their
new NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

the plan was previously presented as
a substitute for the Aldrich bill in
