Cleanliness Rules and Some Creatures
Wash Each Other.

Cleanliness Rules and Some Creatures
Wash Each Other.
Most animals love cleanliness. We
have all seen sparrows fill their feath-
ers with dust and then shake them
selves until they are clean. This is
one Of their ways of washing. And
we have all watched the cat lick her
self till she is spotless and shining.
For her toilet the cat makes use Of her
tongue, tail and her paws. A cats
tongue is rough, having all over it tiny
horny papillae that are directed, in
ward. Pussy brushes herself all over
with her tongue, using the hard rough
pads under her paws upon those parts
that are beyond the reach of her
tongue. Her claws she uses as a comb
to take tangles and matted foreign
substances out of her fur. She also
picks her teeth with her claws. f
The cat uses the pads Of her feet like
sponge, moistening them with sa-
Iva and passing them repeatedly over
her head and face. Finally, to com
plete her toilet, she gives herself a few
whisks with her tail.
Some animals wash each other. Con
doris, vultures and eagles after feast
Of carrion fly to the nearest water and
splash about in it until their feathers
are clean. The care that animals
which live together in communities
take to keep their homes clean is as
tonishing and is we'll seen in the nests

WAR PROGRESS


Since the entrance of Italy into the
European Strife things have been
more active along the Austrian bor-
der So far the maneuvering of the
Italian armies have been vigorous, ag-
gressive and well planned, and sue
gress in driving back Austrian forces
against whom they have been pitted.
Russian-Austrian engagements have
also been of the briskest nature, while
fighting between the German and
French-English armies has been gain
ing heat with the advent of warmer
weather.
There is every reason to look for
the heaviest fighting so far under
taken, between now and fall, the gen.
eral prediction being that the nations
| will have worn themselves out before
the approach of another winter.
There continues to be large
amount of jingoism in the headlines
regarding the likelihood of war be-
tween this nation and Germany.
We may be drawn into the war in
some manner, but at present there is
no proven reason for believing it, and
the bombast intimated in the paper
reports would be an insult to the
President if they were not so entirely
ridiculous.
Without doubt all that is possible
will be done by this country to pre-
serve its dignity and to aid humanity,
but sacrificing it's people in war would
be poor way to serve humanity.
War between the European nations
engaged as now carried on is SER
ious thing, and is no more likely to
be changed by the little incidents
that peeve the jingos of this or any
other country, than it was amenable
to change by few noted women who
assembled somewhere and asked that
it cease. When there is shooting GO
ing on the safest way is to keep out
of range; especially If not one of the
interested parties.
The Mexican situation seems to be
at last attracting serious attention
and dispatches from Washington hint
that President Wilson's period of
''watchful waiting" may be near its
close. The edict is to go forth that
the revolutionists, the soldiers, the
generals, the brawlers. the briggands
and the common pilferers, who have
reduced the population to condition
of starvation, shall not be permitted
to do SO longer--that they must make
peace and keep peace. So may 1t be.
