War Horses In Action.
From TIT Bits

1t will probably surprise you, said a re.
tired colonel of hussars, to learn that a
cavalry horse usually enjoys a battle at
least as much as his rider, and displays as
much courage in it. He will chafe and
stamp with impatience while waiting for
the order to charge, and at the signal will

contact with the enemy he will rear.

Five horses raced neck and neck with
Lord Alfred Paget, who rode in advance

And not only is the well-trained charger

faultlessly through a vancouver in spite
or the efforts of his mistaken master to
make him do the wrong thing.
No, the process of training is neither
long nor difficult. The first ste: is to ac-
custom the horse to the sound Of firing at
close quarters. With this object he is put
on the ground with legs tied. and while in
this position a pistol is fired close to his
ear, over his back, between his legs, and
so on, until his fear is overcome. After a
few such lessons it is safe TO mount him
with a bride furnished with a curb bit,
stand still while a pistol or carbine is
fired from his back-the latter naturally
coming last, as both hands are required

Just think OF what a wonderful amount
of money and business the auto industry
brings to Sioux City, and the number Of
a short time ago that an auto was con-
sidered a luxury. Now it's known to be
a necessity; In fact It's a business propo-
sition; Look at our large and small stores
that have auto delivery, and some have
special delivery motorcycles that go every
where with light packages at a rapid rate.
Even the Interstate Commerce commits
sion has taken up with the railroads the
matter of building larger box cars so they
can put more auto cars in each load. The
autos are, much cheaper now than years
ago and they are many points better than
ever and the accessories are way cheaper
and better, even the gasoline that used
to cost 20 cents a gallon can be bought for
u cents a gallon. If a man and his fam
lily want a real outing they cook up a
basket full of grub and drive SO or GO
miles out to some a k and nave a good
fish.
I was In Chicago a short time ago and
the superintendent Of one of our large
railroads told me the auto was a sore
thorn for them as 50 many thousands
went in autos rather than on hot crowded
trains: The farmer with his auto can
come in to shows. lectures and lodges and
feel he's the best of all men because he
has an auto and knows the road Is good
and KEEP In first class condition. While
In the eastern part of Iowa T saw a farm
er driving a .two-cylinder Rambler car
pulling a road drag and doing excellent
work n making six miles an hour.
It's only a short time ago the govern
ment would give its consent to have the
rural mall carriers use an auto to deliver
mail and now they are pleased to have
them use autos as they make SO much
better time and all the patrons are glad
Of it for they want their mail as early
as possible: Think OF it, last year there
was manufactured 100000 autos in this
country alone n this year from Septem-
er 1914 to September 1916 there will be
100000 cars made in the United States.

To Increase suppJv Of salmon

Important experiments have recent
ly been made by the fisheries expert
for British Columbia in connection
with the hatchery operations. Last
year at Seaton lake, instead of plac-
ing all the sockeye salmon eggs in
trays, as has been the custom hereto
fore, a plan was adopted more in
keeping with the natural methods fol-
lowed by the fish. The eggs, after
having been i%noculated with the
lymph, were buried under five to sew
en- inches Of sand and gravel. Over
100000 ova were thus treated in tanks
especially made therefor, and as a re
suit 1SS,000 healthy fry have been
taken out with the possibility of more
to follow. This is a splendid record,
as compared with the old pan sys-
tenn, and it is believed by the experts
that the new method will revolution
ize the business of the hatcheries.

The experience of M therhoodis q try.
gone to most women and marks dis
tnctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her
self. OF cours nearly every woman
nowadays has medicaltreatment at such
times, but many approach the expert
ence with an organism untitled for the
trial Of strength, and when it is over
her system has received q shock from
which it is hard to recover. Following
right upon this comes the ervou strain
of caring for the child, and a distinct
change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
ahappy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting from
m %unprepared condition, and with am
pie time in which to prepare, women
viii persist in going blindly to the trial.
