Lou Guernsey, who has been a tele
graph operator for the Pennsylvania
lines at Columbus for 20 years, had
an unusual experience Just because
some freight cars hoped the track
and blocked traffic for a while. Guern-
sey started to shave, because all Of
the trains had been dispatched. and
he knew he would have some spare
time on his hands. He had com.
pletely barred the north side OF his face
Of whiskers when the telegraph instru-
ment began to clatter. Guernsey hast
lily put down his razor and an
swered the call. For nearly four hours
he was kept at the key. sending and
receiving messages. The lather dried
on the south side og his face. but he
could not think about that because
there was more important business on
hand. By the time he got through
with the hurry-up work and started to
shave the other side of his face. It is
said the beard began to show up on
the side first shaved.-Indianapolis

me spectacle Of officers and soldiers
playing at war within gunshot of OPP
eIations which form a part Of the
creates conflict in history might seem
% &c an unusual sight. and yet this is
hctuaiiy taking place daily back of the
hrltlsh lines. a correspondent Of the
associated Press visited two schools
OF where men, already
framed in the art of warfare, We're se-
riously conducting mimic battles for
experimental purposes within sound Of
tne Dig guns. which were causing death
ana destruction towards the front.
One of these schools was for the
training Of snipers. The men in this
school are not brought together to learn
~SnarPShootlng. for they are all experts.
Iheir business is to become familiar
with methods of concealing trench
loopholes so that the Germans cannot
see them, and to learn to distinguish
toopholes along the German lines.
AT n point a line OF trenches was
iald out just as though ready for bat
tle. Through the top of the trenches
facing imaginary German ines were
scores Of loopholes of every size and de-
scrlption, each one concealed in a diff
ferent way. Unique methods had been
adcpte in many cases to render these
holes invisible to the German eve and
SO we'll had they succeeded that an Of
Hcer going along in front of the trench,
explaining the system, often had to
search for some time before he could
find he openings.
AT this school any new ideas per-
tanning to his method of warfare are
experimental with and each man learns
numerous ways of protecting himself
from the German fire. This is consid-
cred a most important matter, for the
discovery by an opponent sharpshooter
of a loophole through which a mar is
firing means almost sure death to the
latter At another point q group of men
We're firing from behind sand BAYS at
imaginary German loopholes a consid-
cradle distance away. Openings of var
ious kinds We're displayed across the
field and at these apertures an occa-
slonal dummy head would appear, to
be shot away instantly by the alert
snipers.
When a man has perfected himself
IN the art Of sniping, he is sent along
to The front line trenches or wherever
needed. Not all snipers go through
sniping schools. but all receive the ben
eft of the instruction given in them.
The second school was one for ex-
p~erimenting in the building of trenches.
Here all sorts of ideas relating to the
construction of renches are put into
effect. as any man who has a scheme
for improving a trench can have his
plan executed. Trenches of all descrip-
tions are carefully laid out, dugouts are
built and machine gun positions are
constructed. Wire entanglements of
different varieties also are experiment.

Gustavus promised that he would IL
they would restore him to his natural

The COLLINS ran away and returned
with a long tube and pump, but Gus

was SO tired.
The COLLINS put one end of the tube
into Gustavus' mouth and began work

He felt himself growing larger and

his eyes. expecting it to happen.
"Chirp. chirp," sounded near him and
when he opened his ayes there he was
sitting under a tree and a robin was
singing in the branch over his head.

said: 1T is much easier to work here

ions try to get him to leave his flock
and join them at the tavern, he shakes
his head and replies: You better keep

INDIVIDUALITY IN COOKING.

Copyright. 1916. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Not long g IN article appeared in
q magazine drawing attention to the
fact that the French chef had been
tried and found wanting in America.
1t is perfectly true, of course, that the
Zig hotels and restaurants have French
chefs, and it is equally true thu more
people think French chefs the best in
the world than think any other chefs
the best. But it is also true that the
French chef in America must master
American cooking before he is ac-
ceptable.
The French names of some American
fishes show this-Chicken a la Mary
land, for one. And the business man
who lunches at his club wants pumpkin
pie made by an American recipe. when
he goes travelling, and stops at one Of
the best hotels, he wants corn bread
for breakfast. When he is in the south
Ec calls for chicken gumbo and when
he is in New England he demands
beans, baked to a golden brown.
Yes, we like u national dishes, and
even II we employ French cooks, we
make them cook American dishes.
We are proud of our American cook
cry, and with Justice. And the fact
that each locality tries to live up to
It's standard in cooking a particular
dish, suggests the idea that each
housewife ought to be proud of her in
dividual cooking. Perhaps her family
Tor a couple of generations has known
the secret Of baking a particular sort
of fruit cake; it is a secret to be proud
of, and one to cherish; that is, it is a
task worth doing to make that par
tlcular sort of fruit cake well.
Then. too, if you move to a new To-
cality learn its cookery. If you go
south. learn to cook chicken and
Waffies. corn bread and other southern
dehcacies to perfection. If you go to
New England, master the intricacies OF
pork and beans, pie and crullers. In
each new locality there are new dishes.
In each new neishborhool, too, there
are possibilities of new ways Of cook
ing. Your friends will doubtless be
glad to give you recipes for their best
fishes.
All this enriches your cooking roper
:oire. You gain dizziness as well as
variety in cooking, too, by taking this
sort of active interest in it.

Efficiency In SHAVING.

One of the most fantastic persons in
the world is the public official who.
before he can write a postal order OF.
a tax receipt. has to make preliminary
:urls of penmanship in the air. OBJ
served by the scientific eye, we are
much more fantastic ourselves. If our
effective motions could be registered
On n visual target. our record would
be found to resemble thai of savages
who use ammunition without a sight
On their guns. II we tfink thai the
ordinary soldiers craftsmanship is
wasteful. we may well look to our
selves. Our life is peppered with mo-
lions hat fly wide and wild. 1t be-
gins on awaking. We stretch our arms
waste motion! We ought to utilize
that gesture for polishing our shoes.
We rub our eyes-more f~ooIishness.
We should rub our eyes on Sunday for
the rest of the week. But it is in pro-
cesses like shaving that scientific man
agement is really needed. Men flat
ter themselves that they shave with
the minimum Of gesture. They believe
that they complete the operation I'M
der five minutes. But, excusing their
.inaccuracy, do they now that under
the inspection of the scientific man
ager their performance would look as
jagged Gs their razor blade under the
miscroscope? The day would probably
arrive when a superman will shave
with one superb motion, as delightful
to. the SOUL as the uncoiIing of an
orange skin In one long unbroken
peel.

Senators Get Own Medicine.
From the Kansas CIV Star.

From the Kansas City Star.
None will know better thar the senator's
who are receiving them the true vaiie of
the thousands Of form" kilograms being
sent to Washington urging the surrender
of American rights in the maritime coutro-
Versy with Germany.
Senators are not ~unacquainted with that
method of making medicine. They use it
themselves. They use it on the rest Of us
every time they frank us one Of their
speeches or a package Of garden seed, and
neither they nor we are fooled very much.
We know the senator didn't write his
name on the corner of the envelope where
the rest of us have to put a postage stamp.
We know it was done with a rubber stamp
in the same way the senator's personal
name stamped thus on an envelope is
worth just 2 cents, and that is about the
value-or probably somewhat in excess of
the valne-of all kinds of machine made,
rubber stamped advertisements, circulars,
letters and kilograms that form so large a
part OF American commercial and political
correspondence.
Whoever it was that thought of thus
delugfng senators with rubbe stamp tele-
grams had a refined sense of humor. He
PROBABLY had received from congressman
copies OF speeches they never had made.
He had received personal letters from
them written BY a printing press with his
81 type by an addressing machine. 1t
had come to him as an inspiration to turn
ne Joke on its authors by sending them
like senatorial letters and to make the
Solemn pretense that this manufactured
chain telegram propaganda was a refec-
ton OF American public opinion.
There doesn't seem to be anything sena-
tors can do about It except to grin with
the audience. The wise sleight Of hand
when somebody In the gallery calls his
trick. There's nothing else to do. The
only way in which senators seem to have
the advantage of their imitators is that
senators have the ranking privilege while
the other jokers have to pay for their fun.

a Famous Physicians
Wonderful Discovery

After a series of careful experiments
and tests at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, covering
many years-Dr. Pierce, the medical di-
rector of that hospital, made announcement
that he could prove that a medicine which
he called 'ANURIC' was the best uric
acid solvent now to be had. As a rem

Step into the drug store and ask for a,
