HEALING WITH COLORS.
Hues Said to Have Varying Effect On
Different Diseases.

Perfumes, cOlOr> ana sounds affect
us differently, says TIE Journal des
Debats, according to the state Of our
health. A whole system of therapeu-
tics has been founded OH thiE fact.
Since the days of Pere Hue the Chi
nese have enveloped smallpox patients
In clothing of Il carmine color. In Tom
kin and Australia %bandages of the same
color are used on children suffering
from measles, while Spanish parents
not only put their little patients in
wrappings Of this brilliant hue, but
make them drink strip of polnegranates
because of its color.
DR.. Laumonier, writing in the Revue,
assures the world that there is some
sense in this. Red light has a good ef-
feet on several skin diseases: blue and
violet spell death to bacteria: yellow
protects the eye against the injurious
elements Of the spectrum, while green
Gains the nerves and encourages sleep.
Unfortunately these effects are not
always to be relied upon. Some kinds
Of lupus yield to the influence of blue,
while other kinds find blue only aggra-
waiting and are much more benefited by
red. In general n may say that red
has exciting properties. Put a spider
and a wasp under Il colorless bell glass
and they will live in peace; give the
glass a tinge of scarlet and the two in
sects will rush at each other and en-.
gage in mortal combat.
In savage countries the most belli-
cos tribes are devoted to ruddy colors.
The red in the trousers Of French SOL
diers shows that civilized people share
the same prediction. This tradition.
however, is worth further examination,
for it would certainly seem to be the
better policy to bring a blush into the
ranks of the enemy. When the virtues
Of the different colors are more fully
ascertained DR.. Laumonier foresees a
reign of reason in which every part of
u civilization will share. Hospitals
will have wards of various colors to
suit divers maladies. Schools and col
leges will be painted green, a color ia.
vorable to study, while on the Stock
Exchange and in parliament the pre-
dominating color will be that great
soother Of excitement, mauve.

A Crank With foIdinu Handle.

A novel type Of automobile cranking
handle, in which the danger of a "kick''
Is materially reduced, has just been put
on the market. The device consists OF
a folding handle, which, when released
by the hand or torn from it's grip by a

as the cranking arm, thereby reducing
the width of the danger zone" to one
Inch, instead of the five inches swept

throw the handle out of the way is fur.

GREAT INCREASE IN VALUES
Montana Statistics Cleaned From
Uncle Sans Yearbook.

Some interesting figures concerning
agricultural values in Montana lie
buried in the last yearbook of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. They r taken from the cen
Il for 1910.
At that time the value of all farm
property in Montana was reckoned
at $347,S29,0O0, an increase of POSI-
per cent over the figures for 1000.
The value of land was given as 1925.
771.0O0, an increase of 1905 per cent.
while farm buildings had increased
in value 1854 per cent during the ten
year period preceding.
The average value Of land per acre
had risen from $4.45 in 1900 to $16.74
in 1910. Two or three other states,
notably those in which irrigation
work has been pushed. show a larger
percentage OF increased value. but
Montana will surely surpass then,
when 1t come to the next census.
