NEVER BEYOND RIFLE SHOT
Farmer In the East Jordan Country
Had to Be Constantly in Reach
of Protection.

Towers in Jerusalem" strengthened
the walls, which were somewhat out
of repair.
Towers in the desert" and wells"
were two absolutely essential necessi-
ties in the East Jordan country in
Uzziah's day and to the present hour.
In 1901 I visited Shobek. a fortified
town less than fifty miles south of
Amman. and. while standing on its
huge Notifications, was told that the
limit of it's cultivated lands was fixed
by the distance a rife would send a
bullet. In the same castle was a well
with 365 steps cut in the solid rock
leading to the precious water supply.
Wells were dug at great expense
where water was known or supposed
to exist, but for every one well there
we're thousands of cisterns and pools
"hewed out of the solid rock. Both
pools and cisterns were protected in
many places by walls and towers OF
defense. In my journeys east of the
Jordan | have no doubt passed many
ruins and towers dating from Uzziah's
time.-Christian Herald.

The POPULAR GIRL
BY GERTRUDE MARY SHERIDAN.

There was plenty to interest Vera
Dane, when she arrived at Wardville
to rest up from city social duties at
the home of her bright pretty cousin.
Olga Wolcott For one thing, a local
department store was offering a five
hundred-dollar piano to the successful
winner in a voting contest as to the
most popular girl in Wardville,
It's settled beforehand" spoke
Olga Indignantly. You have heard
me speak of Blanche Ridgeley. She

Olga gazed thoughtfully at her
cousin. She admired Vera and was
proud of her Olga's lips eurled scorn-
fully as she contrasted this acknowl-

social circle with the petty aspira-
lions of Miss Blanche Ridgeley. A
hope had come into her mind that
Vera might be melted to reveal her

Question of Tongue.

Some amount of confusion is caused
by the pronunciation of the name of
the town Kuprulu, or Veles, in Mace
donia. The difference in nomencla-
ture is attributable to the conflict of
tongues. Kuprulu. Koprulu or Ku-
prili, is the Turkish equivalent of the
Bulgarian Valesa and the Greek We

Turkish rule) of Saloniki The ancient
Greek historian Polybius speaks of
the town of Bylazors, and It is be-
lieved that the Bulgarian and modern
Greek names are corruptions of this.
The Turkish form. with slight modifi-
cation, is the cognomen of a family
of statesmen who fiourished from the
sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.

TRACED TO BEN FRANKLIN
Revolutionary Sage Said to Have Been
the Pioneer in Campaigns for
Public Health.

II has been mentioned as an inter
esting fact that the success of cam
paigns for public health from time
to time have been largely due to the
facility OF leaders in putting their
thought into epigrams. Franklin was
a pioneer with his Public health is
public wealth.
Disraeli coined the phrase. The
care of the public is the first duty of
a statesman" and Gladstone said:
In the health of the people lies the
strength Of the nation"
Our modern Swat the fly and Bat
the rat" are briefly characteristic of
the time and probably more effective
than their more elegant predecessors.
The latest claimant to popular favor
seems to be The health and happi-
ness of the people are paramount to
every issue" This epigram has been
done into button to be carried in
lauels.

social distinction meant" Vera's an
nouncement, however. effectuaIly set
aside her plans.
1t was destined that Vera should be
aroused from her Indifference within
the next few days She accompanied
Olga to have a skirt fitted by Miss
Rose Tyler. The dressmaker's little
workrooms were in a poor part of the
town. and as the pony phaeton drew
up at its front Olga elevated her eye
Drows at the sight of snowy auto

satirically. that is the grand Ridgeley
turnout
They entered the front room OF the
little shop to be met by one of Miss
Tyler's assistants. who requested them
TO be seated, as her employer was en-
gagged in the fitting room. Thence in
a few moments there emanated the
echo of a sharp and angry voice, fem
mime but rasping 1t suggested the ma
lignant onslaught of some tyro-virago
rating an inferior under the spell of
meekness or fear.

ciety in Wardville Haunted out. her
features distorted with a rage that
showed evil depths in that perverse
nature.
Miss Rldgeley nodded crisply to
Olga. stared insolently at Vera. and
Vera's eyes flashed as the ill-natured
aristocrat swept out to her waiting
automobile Then Vera arose to fol
low Olga, who had started for the in
ner room. At its threshold Vera
paused.
1t was to view a pathetic and NOV.
ing scene. Miss Tyler. the little dress
maker. fair sweet faced girl of nine
teen. was seated beside a torn and
diso-dered fabric of lace and satin,
sobbing out her sorrow. After all her
hard work. from a vicious caprice
Miss Ridgeley had gone into a trans.
port of wrath because she herself had
provided a wrong shade Of trimming,
had flung the garment from her and
refused to pay for the work done

Cheese as an Aid to Health.

The long cherished idea that cheese
should form only small part of the
daily diet recently has been chal-
lenged. Not long ago the United
States department of agriculture is
sued a bulletin recommending the use
Of cheese as a cheap and wholesome
substitute for meat.
An interesting and important asser-
ton by Swiss investigator is to the
effect that persons who make cheese
a considerable part of their regular
diet are very resistant to many in
testinal diseases, such as dysentery
and the dreaded typhus fever which
has desolated Serbia. According to
Doctor Burri, the daily meat ration
in the Swiss army has already been
partly replaced by cheese. with excel
lent results.

WHY MILK REFLECTS LIGHT
Consisting of Minute Droplets of Fat,
1t Throws Back Rays in Every
Direction.

One is often apt to forget that color
is merely a reflection of light, and
that anything which reflects light per
fectly will be the color of that light.
The most nearly perfect form to re-
fleet is a sphere. The moon is bright
because ii reflects the sun. The earth
is bright for the same reason, is one
can see at the time of new moon.
when the part of the moon hidden
from the sun by the earth shines faint
ly from reflected earth light
Milk is like a collection of moons.
1t is a liquid filed with minute drop
let's of fat, each of them a perfect
sphere. When the light strikes these.
it is reflected at every angle, reflect
ed on to other droplets of fat and by
them reflected on and on, until from
every point in the milk the white light
that strikes on the outside is re-
Elected.
Think of marbles made of looking
sand could be put on the head of
pin, and you will see the reason for
the reflection. or the white color of

When. in the case of milk. the mum.
Der of these little rejecting drops

a sense, more blush, as the semitrans-
parency of air makes blue sky. and OF

OKLAHOMA CITY. June 8
Threatened fruit shortage in Oklaho-

according to reports that have been
made to the extension work depart

Of the farmers in the most progres-

enough canned fruit left over from
last year to do them until next year.
Last year was one of the heaviest frult
years ever experienced in the state
and agents in the agricultural extern
sion work advised farmers to save
all that could be put away. The WIS
dom of this is now apparent, as there
will be very little fruit in the state
