NEW WAR AGAINST ILLNESS
Classes lnaugurated, With Competent
Teachers, to Show How Health
May BE Conserved.

Recent innovations in educational
effort Indicate that a sort of Declara'
ton of independence has been started
in the matter of dealing with human
ills. The modern tendency is to appeal
to the personal sense of responsibili.
ty to prevent illness rather than to de-
pend upon the traditional value OF cur
ative measures.
Rochester, N. Y, has introduced
plan of having two teachers, one
doctor and nurse give lessons TO
the public bearing directly on health
and life conservation, Glasses. open
to women eighteen years old or over,
are taught in the public school build
ings from four to five in the after.
noon.
Information is given as to what
diseases are preventable, how to
avoid them, how the body can be
made resistant to disease, how to
nurse scientifically, how TO reserve,
record and report symptoms, and
what to do in emergencies. The
course, which includes instruction in
the care of children and preparation
of food, is planned in two lessons
week for six weeks, and is success
sively given in different localities.
Another suggestive movement mas
been started by the Boston Instructive
District Nursing association, cooper
ating with Simmons college and the
School for Social Workers. An eight
months course has been mapped out
to supplement the ordinary training
of nurses in order that they may deal
practically and heipfully in assisting
the public.

FUTURE FOR AMAZON VALLEY
Prediction Of Explorer That lmmlgra-

It is claimed that in one month Of

parts Of the world reached Panama in
search of permanent homes. A censid-

1t is a pity that more detailed fig

More than half century ago an
English explorer declared that while
civilization had developed in cold

to the fertile tropics, and he predicted
that the Amazon valley would some

ERROR ABOUT SCHOOL BOND
ISSUE CORRECTED.

Through an error in transcribing
the figures in the statement prepared
by the board of education regarding
the proposed bond issue, it was stated,
that to pay interest and provide a
sinking fund for the bonds would re-
quire tax levy of less than one mill
or approximately ten cents on the one
thousand dollars The latter part of
this statement was palpable error,
but it escaped the eye of the proof
reader and was also used in an article
this column yesterday. It is plain
that the tax on the $1,000 of assessed
valuation would be about one dollar.

CATCH THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT,

Even those who are not openly
talking it are thinking about it, 1t is
kind OF contagion that is widely
prevalent at this particular season
Children are peculiarly subject to it,
hut it also attacks grown-up folks un-
less their hearts are all dried up and
the last drop Of the intoxicating elixir
OF youth has gone out of their veins.
1t is the Christmas spirit to which
we refer, one Of the most exhilarating
tonics that ever coursed through your
system. With the air SO thoroughly
saturated with it, how can you escape
its enchanting spell?
To the Christmas spirits due the
sudden appearance of that new and
roble order of Good Fellows, which
makes its debut in big letters on the
front page today 1t is an order with
a mission and that mission is a mighty
worthy one. Its avowed object, in
deed the whole purpose of its exist
ence, is to make happiness in homes
where Grim Want is accustomed to
make his habtation. Can you think
OF any better way to manifest the
Christmas spirit, the spirit of kind
ness, OF benevolence and love for fell
low creatures?
You have been busy making plans
for your own Christmas, spending
your money freely for gifts for your
own family and for friends who don't
need them, and that is all well
enough, but it isn't necessarily the
best way to manifest this Christmas
spirit. To give to those in need, to
replace sadness with gladness in
little hearts which might be cheerless
on Christmas morning, is the scheme
which the Good Fellows, otherwise
known as Big Brothers, have hit upon
What do you think Of it?
According to the official announce
ment, the organization of the order
of Good Fellows will be completed

is decreed that Santa Claus is going
to have that Christmas tree-don't
forget that-and nobody will be per-
sonally solicited to join in the joy
making. 1t is a purely voluntary
affair, and it would spoil the whole
thing if anybody who isn't cheerful
giver should get into it. The whole
thing is to be simply the outpouring
OF hearts that are alive with human

CHEMISTS REPLACE
COOKS IN GERMANY
Artificial Eggs and Laboratory
Milk Now Offered.

London.-By German government Or
der Sundays and Wednesdays are the
only days exempt from the new re-
strictions on the use of meat. German
newspapers publish schedules prepared
by the German federal council con-
trolling the consumption of meat The
announcement Is made that meat sup
plies must be conserved. The schedule,
as forwarded by Reuters Amsterdam
correspondent, is as follows:
Mondays and Thursdays: Restau-
rants shall offer no meat, fish, fowl or
dishes cooked In lard, bacon or drip
ping.
Tuesdays and Fridays: Butchers
shall sell no raw or cooked meats.
Saturdays: Pork shall not be sold.
Thus far no restriction on the cook
ing of meat in the home has been
placed by the federal council.
Copies Of German papers contain
some tempting offers of chemical food
which the public is asked to purchase.
Some of those appeals follow:
Certain Sale.-Artificial omeiets, ar
tificial butter, chemical honey and mar
malade, artificial coffee and milk in
any quantities. Packets made up ready

And His Generals Are the knaves In

Berlin.-Germans now play skat and
other favorite card games with pic
lures of Won Hindenburg and other
popular leaders in the war instead OF
lhe conventional kings. queens and
knaves, says an article in the Berliner
Tageblatt- The writer of the article,
after calling attention to the wide
spread popularity Of such decks Of
cards, suggests that German be substi-
tuted for French In the expressions
used in card games, eliminating words
like "carreau." occur" "pique" and
"trefe."
The new war cards have picture OF
the kaiser instead of the usual aces,
while the four kings are the kings OF
Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtemburg,
and the Grand Duke of Baden. The
knaves are represented by German
leaders, and even cards like the ten
have pictures Of notables in the war.
Among the men whose pictures now
figure in card games are Count Yep
pelin, Admiral Won Tirpitz, Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg, Captain Wed
dingen, Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria,
General Won Falkenhayn and General
Won Kluck.

HALF sovEREIGNS MAY GO.
Heavy Wastase on Coin Pointed Out by
Economists.

Economists.
London.-It was In the year 1916
that the authorities at the mint resolv-
ed to discontinue the use of the guinea
and the half guinea, which were re-
placed by the sovereign and the half
sovereign.
Now 1t Is the turn Of the half sover-
eign to be scrapped. Economists point
out that the wastage on the smaller
gold coin in circulation is much great
er than on the sovereign, owing to the
larger surface exposed in proportion to
the value. Everything possible has
been done to reduce the loss from
wear and tear and to increase the du-
rability of the coins, but the half sover-
eign still wears badly and Is said to
chip easily. -
And now that "Bradbury's' zone
pound notes. so called from the sigma
ture of the secretary of the treasury
which they bear. and pinkuns 10 snli-
ling notes. are part of British everyday
life the abolition of the half sovereign
has many advocates.

RETURNS FROM NOME
With 1853 WALRUSES
Although Monsters, Hunting
Them Is Un0xCiting.

Seattle, Wash.-The steamers Cor
win, Captain ]. r. Healy, in from
Nome, Alaska, brought 1853 walruses,
by far the biggest catch on record, &C
cording to Captain Healy and Oscar
Arnevik, the chief hunter.
The Corwin left Seattle on May
with passengers and freight, reaching
Nome on the 21st, being the first boat
to reach the far north last spring.
Using Nome as her base, the Corwin
made two trips among the ice foes.
On the first trip S41 walruses were
killed and 500 ON the second.
The boat carried twenty-five armed
native hunters. They approached the
ice foes in q gasoline launch. while
the steamer stood by.
A walrus must be hit in the head.
The hide on the body is so tough that
1t will stop any bullets. If not instant
ly killed the walrus flops off the ice
and sinks in the sea.
Captain Healy says that walrus hunt
ing is tame and would not attract
keen sportsmen. A walrus, he says,
will hardly ever fight Sometimes, Of
course. accidents happen. A walrus
may flop against the boat and smash
it. or 1t may drive its tusks through
the planks of the bottom and rip them
open. But the steamer is never very
far away, and you can swim to tiff
you don't freeze to death on the way.
Having killed the walrus, the steam
er comes alongside the ice, and the
carcass is hoisted aboard and stripped
of tusks, hide, whiskers and blubber.
The Corwin brought down 1888 bar
rels Of walrus oil, worth 81 cents per
gallon. or 5000, and four tons Of the
tusks, about $4,000 worth. as the ivory
is worth 35 to 80 cents per pound.
The whiskers are used in China for
toothpicks, and the Corwin brought
enough to make a valuation of $500.
The hides, of which there were 1852,
will go to tanneries In London to be
made finally into trunks, valises and
other leather things. The hides ought
to fetch $3S,700. That makes a total
Of $49.270 for the season.
Next to elephant and rhinoceros hide,
walrus hide is the toughest leather
The allies use it to polish big guns just
out of the foundry.
The Alaska waters offer the finest
field in the world for walrus hunting,
but there are no tanneries In this coun-
try equipped to treat the hides.
