ATTlLA, "SCoUReE OF GOD"
Mighty Leader Of the Huns az He
Has Been Pictured by Eminent
French Historian.

The great French historian, Niche
let. has graphically described Attila,
the mighty Hun, who in the fifth GEN.
fury met defeat which curbed his
progress and threw him and his horde
back to eastern Europe. His true orr.
ontal name, a name which is retained
unchanged in the German tongue. was
Etzel. which signified q vast and
mighty thing. a mountain, a river. par.
ucuiarly that immense river. the Vol
ga. Priscus. an author OF the fifth
century. who saw Attila face to face,
describes him. says Micheelt. as
stern and grave, short, thick set and
strongly built, flat-nosed. his broad
face pierced with two fiery holes"
Continuing he says: After all. what
would this Tartar have gained by con-
Quering the Roman empire? He would
have felt himself stifed I'm those
walled cities and palaces OF marble.
Far better he loved his wooden viii
iage. all painted and tapestried. with
Its thousand kiosks OF many colors and
all around 1t the green meadows OF the
Danube. Though an enemy to Ger
many. he made use OF It, His ally was
the enemy of the Germans, Genseric,
the Wend. who was settled In Africa.
He called Attila into Gaul against the
Cloths OF Toulouse. ATLAS passage
was marked by the ruin OF Metz and
OF a great number OF towns. The null
ttude of legends relating to this per-
Tod may AFFORD some idea OF the i'm
preston which that terrible event left
on the memory OF nations"

DROVE HIM INTO THE ARMY

Made Hissbee BeehIss a Defender
Of His Country.

The evening that Higsbee Beehigs,
rafting his A cents In his right-hand
trousers pocket. took Mabel Shear
boom around to get a plate Of ice
cream he had absolutely no thought of
enlisting In the army commissary.
What kind will you have?' he
asked her
You should say what kinds, not
what kind" she corrected him gently.
Il think Ill try every kind they've got.
He-he. Won't that be a lark?"
You mustn't" hecried.
"Oh, but shalt" she laughed mer-
rily. And she started by ordering
chocolate, persimmon and rhubarb.
Let 1t go at that. please" he i'm.
plored her. TITS not being done by
the best people"
But she just laughed lightly and be-
gan on the rhubarb. When she was
halfway through the second order, OF
pineapple, glycerin. olive ice and tapL
oca. Higsbee Beehigs leaped to his
feet In desperation
Excuse me q moment" he said
hastily and ran out OF the place with
out stopping for his hat and enlisted,
leaving Mabel with the ice cream bill.

TAKE LESSONS FROM PLANTS
Humanity Can Learn Much by a Study
OF the Causes OF Their
Ailments.

Science believes thae much valua.
Die information about the prevention
and cure OF disease In human beings
can be gained from study of the
ailments OF plants. II has long been
known that In matters OF health and
disease all living things are intimately
related and II is now suspected that
this relationship between plants and
mankind may be much closer than we
have ever realized.
The alienation OF hosts for certain
diseases Is also true OF plants and of hu.
man beings. Men get tapeworms from
eating the flesh OF certain animals.
In similar fashion fruit trees get the
rust disease from juniper trees, the lat
ter being the host for alternate stages
OF the fungus that produces rust.
Certain diseases OF the intestines.
which are due to low growth OF
plant life can be benefited Just as
fungus diseases OF trees are by an
abundance OF water. A dry diet IA
vors the processes OF decay in the in
testines, while abundant liquids i'm
prove their mechanical action and
hinder the growth OF germs.

Rabies Not Limited 20 Anv s.,.,

According to DIR. o. Mcdaniel, Dog
Days" do not influence the occurrence
OF rabies. The important point, how
ever. Is that anyone bitten by a dog
suspected Of being rabid, regardless
or the season OF the year, should re-
ceiye proper attention.
The suspected dog should be kept
under observation for at least two.
weeks. II 1t remains well, rabies ia
excluded. IL 1t becomes sick or dies.
the head should be examined by the
Pasteur Department OF the State
Board OF Health. and the individuals
bitten should report at the depart
ment for treatment.
Rabies Is usually fatal to dogs ina
from three to five days after the first
symptoms are observed. Individuals,
bitten by rabbi dogs. unless under,
treatment. become sick in from five
TO nine weeks. The popular belief
that individuals may develop symp-
toms several months or years later
Is as false as the belief that Dog Days
cause mad dogs.
