Sunday is prominently Death Day
for automobilists. Long is the register
on each Monday of accidents, Of in
juries inflicted and sustained, far, far
too many of them ON account of care
lessness and want of due precaution
and sound judgment on the part of
the drivers. Every owner and every
chauffeur should know by heart the
life saving recommendations prescrib-
ed and circulated by the National Coun-
ell for Industrial Safety:
"Safety First, Safety Always,
Auto Drivers.
''T. Be considerate,
"IT. Go slow: l. Passing children;
2. Passing vehicles; 3. Approaching
crossings; 4. Turning corners.
"III. Stop: l. At railroad cross

CIV. Use chains on slipper. pave

''v. When in doubt-go slow or
STOP"

what relief of raised enameled letters,

The HeaIthfuI Art of Yawning.

DR.. Naegeli, professor of medi-
cine at Liege university, commends
the practice of yawning. A good
yawn, the Belgian professor main
tains, is excellent for the lungs and
for all the breathing organs, but
there is an art in yawning just the
same as there is an art in breath
ing. Every yawn should be as deep
as possible, so as to bring all the
muscles of the throat and chest into
action and also to fill the vital or
gans with a current of fresh air.
DR.. Naegeli has known of many
cases in which a sore throat has
been alleviated by persistent yawn-
ing.--London Chronicle.

Ready Courage.

The Duchesse de Berry, whose
husband was the son of Charles x.
of France, is described in the "Me-
moirs of the Comtesse de Boigne"
as one of the most courageous
characters the writer ever knew.
One day, when she was driving
with her husband, the Due de Berry,
the horses took fright and ran
away. The duchess had continued
the conversation without changing
the tone of her voice, and at last
her husband exclaimed:
"Why, Caroline, do you not see
what has happened"

HUMAN BODIES CHANGING.
Now 1t Seems We Are to Lose Our
Teeth, Nails and Hair.

There is no doubt that the hui
man race is fast losing its teeth,
hair and nails and that sooner or
later many other parts of the body
which man has possessed for ages
will begin to disappear.
This fact, however, is no cause
for alarm. 1t is, on the contrary, a
matter for congratulation, because
experience shows that every part of
the body which nature discards is
part which we have outgrown.
The human body can never be
brought to its highest efficiency I'M
til its parts have been reduced to a
minimum, and it is not under a
handicap of having to carry around
things like hair and nails, which no
longer serve any useful purpose.
Take the teeth, for example.
Who wants or really needs gorilla
like jaws and teeth today? They
we're necessary in the days when
our ancestors had to crack cocoa
nuts with them, but our civilization
is rapidly approaching stage where
they will no longer be needed.
The nails on our fingers and toes
have long since ceased to be claws.
The toe nails in particular have
dwindled to such minor Importance
that it is nothing unusual for a
baby to be born with only the most
rudimentary nail on its little toe.
All this is due to the fact that we
have found way of dispensing
with the use of claws.
Although most of us do not re-
alize it, the races sense of smell is
weakening rapidly, and there is a
marked loss of power in the olfac-
tory tract of the brain. This is not
at all surprising when you stop to
thing how small a part the nose
plays in mans life today.
Smell is of little service to us in
making a living or enjoying one,
and we seldom if ever refer to it
except in such fgurative express
sions as a newspaper mans "nose
for news" or he "s1nells rat"
Our tails are almost gone, and we
miss them so little that many of us
do not know that we ever had them.
All that remains of them now is
four or five joints, which are de-
tached and movable at birth and
which do not fuse into single
bone until we are about twenty
years old. These joints would, how
ever, even now make quite respect
able looking tails if they were al
lowed to come through the skin.-

NAPOLEON'S EAGLES.
Dramatic Scene When They Were Be-
slowed Upon the Army.


In the "War Drama of the
Eagles" Mr.. Edward Fraser has
traced the history of one of Napo-
Icons most successful ideas. When
the committee that was considering
a suitable emblem for the newly
established empire suggested the
traditional Gallo cock Napoleon
would not hear of it. 'Bah" he
cried contemptuously. 'The cock
belongs to the farmyard. 1t is far
too feeble a creaturel" Overrid-
ing their final choice, which was a
lion couchant, he substituted the
eagle.
at affirms the imperial dignity"
he explained, "and recalls Charlie
magne."
1t is doubtful if it would have
recalled Charlemagne without a
good deal of prompting of the pub
lie mind, but it really did recall the
conquering eagles of the Roman le-
gions, and this association Napoleon
emphasized by putting an eagle, Ro-
man fashion, on the staff of every
regimental flag. These eagles, he
decreed, rather than the perishable
tricolor that streamed below them,
should be regarded, honored and
cherished as the standards of the
army. The artist Isabey designed
them. They were made of copper
and gilded, weighed three pounds
and a half and were eight inches in
height and nine inches from wing
tip to wing tip. They were received
only from the hands of the emper-
or. To lose one was to incur dis
honor that could be wiped out only
by the capture of an enemy's flag
in battle. No lost eagle might be
replaced except by special permits
sion of the emperor.
The presentation of the eagles"
when Napoleon, crowned and scep-
tered and attended by the Empress
Josephine, the court and the mar
shals of France, bestowed the new
standards on the regiments on the
Champ de Mars, was one of the
most magnificent pageants that the
world has known.
SOLDIERS, behold your stand
ards!" the emperor acclaimed, with
a sweeping gesture. "These eagles
shall ever be to you the rallying
point. Wherever your emperor
shall deem it needful for the de-
tense of the throne and people,
there shall they be seen. You
swear to sacrifice your lives ever in
their defense, to maintain them by
your courage ever in the path Of
victory? You swear it?" There
was a moments breathless pause,

NATIONAL APPLE SHOW
WILL AID FRUIT GROWERS
Production Cost and Net Profits Will Be

Orchard accounting systems and by

emphasis in the preliminary program Of
the Seventh National Apple Show and
Fruit Products Congress to be held in
Spokane November 10 to 81, accord
ing to Chairman James S. Ramage OF
the board of trustees.
Three distinct plans have been form
ulated for the purpose of establishing
a practical, clear and accurate method
of computing cost of producing apples
and the net profit from given orchard
or number Of trees. A 100-tree con-
test, in which each contestant will
enter a quantity of the product and
give complete financial account Of
cost of production, is one of the plans
approved by the board at meeting
this week. Another means Of arriving
at production cost and net profits will
be taken through a single tree contest
on similar lines. In addition, COM
petition will be held for the best set OF
orchard accounts giving the actual
record Of an orchard during the grow
ing and marketing season of 1914.
At the conclusion of the board meet
ing Manager Gordon C. Corbaley an
nounced that upwards of $4,000 will
be distributed by this years apple show

Very Old Custom.

The custom of saying "God bless
you" to a person when he sneezes
originated among the ancients, who,
fearing danger from it, after sneez-
ing made short prayer to the gods,
as Jupiter, help me-" The custom
is mentioned by Homer, the Jewish
rabbis and others. Polydore Vergil
says it took its rise at the time of
the plague in SIS, when the infect
ed fell dead, sneezing, though ap-
parently in health.

inspector of the North Pacific Fruit
