that will be staged at the university
auditorium tonight by the university
glee clubs under the personal direction
of Eugene II. Storer. This afternoon
it was estimated that not seat would
be vacant when the curtain ascends
on the first act tonight.
The production will perhaps be one
of the most elaborately staged that has
ever been seen in Moscow. The finer
details have been carefully worked
out and aside from the special scenery
and costumes, the electric lighting eff

the cast and chorus has been drilled
perfectly and the public has every as
surance that it will be treated to a
performance that will compare very
favorably with that given by profess
sionals.
Mr.. Storer stated today that several
surprises will be in store for those who
attend. Those who will assume the
principal roles are today putting on
the finishing touches in the last re-
hearsal and the chorus is being drilled
to number of new and pleasing
dance steps and formations.

the fine role of Pitti-Sing, has never

Of the French regimeHtaI canteens,
and who have played many heroic
parts in French military history, are
no longer to share the dangers of act

to the minister of war. The women,
one of whom is commissioned to each
battalion of infantry, regiment of cav
airy or battery of artillery, are in fu-
ture to be retained simply in times OF
peace.
Formerly the women, wearing the
uniform of their branch of the service,
marched into battle with the troops,
serving often as nurses or carrying
soothing drinks to the wounded. They
were the wives of noncommissioned
officers or musicians.

FOREST FIRES IN UNITED STATES
IN 1918 MANY, BUT WELL CONTROLLED
Government Forces Fought 4520 conagraons in That Year.
or Nearly Twice Many as Started in 1912-Toa Loss,
Due to Damage From Flames, Estimated at $780,
600 for the Entire Period.

misunderstanding 1913 the forces
on the national forests fought 1920
fires, or nearly twice as many as start
ed in 1912, the best year the forests
have ever had.
Notwithstanding the great increase
in the number of fires, Forester
Graves considers that the showing
made by the forest service was quite
as favorable as that In the preceding
year, because the damage done and
the costs of fire fighting were no
greater proportionately than in 1912.
In both years practically so per cent
Of all fires were detected and extin-
guished before they burned over a
quarter of an acre, and 25 per cent Of
both years fires were put out before
they covered ten acres. OF last years
fires, 3,278, or considerably more than
the whole number Of fires in 1912,
were confined to areas Of less than
ten acres, and in 1850 additional fires
less than one hundred dollars dam
age was done by each. In only %
fires did the damage amount to $1,000.
The aggregate loss in timber is es-
timated at nearly tifty-nine million
board feet. valued at about eighty-two
thousand dollars, and the damage to
young growth and forage is estimated
at about one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars, making a total of about
one hundred and ninety-two thousand
dollars. About eighteen per cent of
this loss, however, was incurred on
private lands within the forests
where Is per cent Of the fires had
their origin.
One encouraging feature is that the
total number of fires set by railroad
locomotives was scarcely more than
in the preceding year and represented
only Il per cent of all fires, as
against nearly nineteen per cent in
1912; also the proportion set by saw
mills and other engines in the woods
was considerably less than in 1912.
This indicates very plainly, Mr.. Graves
says, that the public is awakening to
the need of spark arresters and care
with engines in the woods.
Looking for the reason of the in
crease in number of fires, the forester
finds three main causes:
First of all, the unprecedented cleo
trio storms which swept the whole
state of California at the end of a

TORTURES OF HORSE SHOWN
Photographic Films Are to BE EN-,
pIoyed to Show Up Anglo
Flemish Evil.

Brussels.-Through the action of
the British Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals long-standing
scandal is about to be disclosed to all
eyes. Photographic films have been
taken of the different phases of tor
ture inflicted upon old English horses
which are periodically imported to
Antwerp to be killed and sold for
meat The British consuls have often
drawn attention to the terrible agony
inflicted on these animals.
Such complaints having proved
fruitless, the scenes of torture have
just been cinematographed for the edi-
fcation of the British public, whose
loud protests will, it is hoped, pro-
woke diplomatic interference and
radical reform in the Anglo-Flemish
horse traffic.

Uric Acid is Slow Poison

Unseen in its approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in its later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one Of the final
stages of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, if discovered early, so it is well
to know the early signs OF kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork, or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heayy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
CT neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat-
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

proportion set by railroads and camp
ers indicates, according to forest Of
ficers, a growing carefulness on the
part of the general public.
Last year, as in 1912, California led
all others in number of fires, this
lead being natural because California
has such a long dry season. 1t was
followed by Arkansas, Arizona and
Oregon, in the order named. Kansas,
which had only one fire in 1912, es-
capped without any in 1913. North
Dakota repeated its record of 1912
and had no fires on its one small for
est. Not a single severe fire occurred
during the year in District 4, which
includes Utah, Nevada and southern
Idaho. and in which a large proper
ton of the forests reported no fires
at all.
There was proportionately greater
loss on private lands within the for
est boundaries than on the public
lands. 1t is pointed out by the forest
officers that these lands cover ap-
proximateIy II per cent of the total
area included within the forest bound
aries, yet the area burned over on
these private lands was more than
twenty-five per cent of all. The for
est service expended more than thir-
ty thousand dollars in protecting the
private lands within the forests and
lands adjacent to and outside of the
forests. In addition to this cost,
services and spplies to the value of
more than seventeen thousand dollars
were contributed by co-operators for
fire-fighting on these areas.

PREPARING FOR CLOVER CROP
the Preceding Spring and Grow
FertiIizing Crop.

If the aim is to get clover and
grass on a thin soil it is often a good
plan to break the ground the proceed
ing spring and to grow fertilizing
crop during the summer that can be
cultivated and then disked into the
surface soil. When cowpeas can be
grown they are excellent for the pur.
pose.
On very thin land I have gotten the
finest clover sod in this way, says a
writer in an exchange. Expensive
way? someone asks. Well, any way
Of covering thin soil with a heavy
clover sod is not inexpensive. l like
the plan. The tiIlage kills weed seeds
and frees fertility. The vines are
chopped in the surface before. they be-
come tough. The humus is just where
1t is needed, and the soil is firm.
If one prefers, rape may be sown
the 1st Of September. and then the
land fitted for clover in the spring
without the plow Leave the yege-
table matter at the surface. Or tim
othy may be sown in the fall and clo-
yer added in the spring. Or wheat
may be seeded and clover in the
spring.

HINTS FOR POTATO GROWERS
Determining Factor in Production of
Maximum Crop of Tubers Is Pur-
ity of Seed Stock.

Good seed is a determining factor
in the production of maximum crops
of potatoes.
All tubers showing discoloration of
the flesh should be rejected.
Purity of seed stock is an essential
quality of good seed. Serious losses
are sustained by the grower through
mixtures.
A more liberal use of seed will gen
orally result in both increased produc-
ton and profit.
The use of high-grade seed would
increase the returns from the potato
crop of the country by many millions
of dollars.
A good storage place is essential in
order to insure sound, firm seed at
planting time.

before the court this week.
