Accommodating Useless Knowledge.

The amount of energy. mental and physical.
daily expended in doing things Of no particular
account has been vArlously estimated as TO vol
ume. but Is generally conceded to absorb a con
siderable portion OF human effort The latest
exhibition is by a student in a Pennsylvania
agricultural college, who has set himself the task
OF smoking sixty stogies a day for a specified
time. His announced purpose is TO determine
the burning qualities of the tobacco used in the
manufacture OF the stogies he consumes. His
undertaking seems scarcely possible of human
accomplishment but should he succeed in the
stupendous feat, he will have contributed to thu
growing weight OF evidence that the fool killer
is no longer able to keep up with his work
Taste In tobacco varies with the individual
and the devotee OF the stogy doesn't worry his
head about what II contains or how Il burns
He wants something that viii smell and smudge
and he usually gets it. Users OF tobacco ir
other forms are profoundly indifferent to the
stogy in any OF its manifestations. and will not
be interested 10 any degree In experimentation
with that device for smokers. II this young
man pursues his venture 10 the ultimate cor
elusion he will merely have added to the vast
amount OF useless knowledge that has been de-
veloped by freak investigators.

Of opinion, and have been wondering Why

what I have read was that we should be
careful and not stand up for our rights
IN this Lusitania catastrophe for fear
that our country would be crushed at
once.
/ believe that we are a hundred times
more able 10 protect ourselves than we
arc led to believe. We are not in a po--
Sition where we would have to fight
Germany alone, and as a matter OF fact
there are anywhere from Oo,O to l,O00. 900
Americans who could take to the field
within a weeks notice. e., regular
troops, state militia, retired and dis
charged soldiers. some veterans. To
size the situation up many stratogists

fronts, Take this expert opinion, then

would be q new German drive, and in

Of being a deadlock for another terrible
winter would there not be prospects say
at the end Of six weeks after the Ameri-

drive the Teutons back and start a MARSH

quickly? ! cannot figure how our en-
terms the war would stop our supplying
munitions to the allies. for with the Ger
man ships all tied up in different ports
we should have no reason 70 fear an
invasion, and all possible munitions, in
Guiding submarine parts az well as ships
themselves, would be at the allies dis
posal, including many fine transports
such as the Prince Eltel, which could be
used to replace the Frye. and other Ger
man ships informed in our ports could

THE HAIR BEAUTY
THAT BELONGS To YOU

So many who have long known that
hair beauty was certain to follow upon
systematic hair care have been loath 70
commence what they mistakenly think
too much trouble. Proper hair care
means only keeping the scalp and hair
perfectly clean by use of some prepare
ton made for shampooing. not for gen
eral cleansing. You can enjoy the best
that is known for about three cents
shampoo by getting a package OF can
throx from your druggist. Dissolve
tesspoonfui in q cup OF hot water and
your shampoo is ready. After it's use
the hair dries rapidly with uniform
color. Dandruff. excess oil and dirt
are dissolved and entirely disappear
Your hair will be so fluffy that II will
look much heavier than II Is. It's luster
and softness will also delight you. while
the stimulated scalp gains the health
which insures hair growth.--Advsrtise-
ment

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness. and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness IS
caused by an inilamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when 1t is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an infamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
