he departed for the kitchen. Soon he
returned with broad smile on his

we didn't have any" Doctor Trudeau

Bell the Cat. Save Birds.

Mrs. Eugene j. Carrigan of Putin
Bay, O., would save song birds from
cats by attaching "A small bell TO a
ribbon or string tied around the fe.
line neck. The bell, she explains,
would give the bird warning OF the
cats approach and enable 1t to get
away.
Il have two pet CATS says Mrs.
Carrigan, 'and last summer know
they caught and killed several hun
dred birds. They would ignore a
mouse any time to get a bird, and the
prettier the latter the better they
seemed to like It.
Mrs. CarriRan viii endeavor to start

STOLEN ART COMING TO U. S.
Many Churches in Italy Robbed Of
Their Treasures During
the War.

Rome-The recent robberies of val
liable paintings from St Peters basili-
ca at Perugia and Etruscan gold Jew
elry from the museum of Corneto, as
well as thctts of minor works of art
from small churches in Tuscany, are
suspected to be due to the increased
demand for Italian works OF art
abroad, and especially in America.
In fact, despite the war art dealers
in Italy are doing a profitable business
Many American buyers Tor museums
and collectors in the United States are
now in Italy An ancient statue has
been sold for 100000 in Rome, two
figures by Donatello have fetched
100000 in Florence, and similar big
deals in paintings and sculptures have
been made in Venice and other cities
1t is admitted that business transac-
lions in works of art with American
buyers have been aboveboard and le-
gal but it is believed that art dealers
agents resort to robbery to satisfy
their customers. Since mobilization
the Italian churches and museums are
not so well guarded as before. 1t is
probable that the fine art department
will suspend the granting of exporta-
ton permits during the remainder of

BOY OF 10 SUPPORTS MOTHER
Former Actress, Blind, Never Has
Seen the Face Of Her
Piucky Son.

San Francisco.-A wonderful little
life story of boyish pluck and mater
nal patience has been picked from the
streets of San Francisco, where
frankie Lewis, now ten years old, has
been supporting for two years his
blind and helpless mother.
And an angle of it that lifts it out Of
the usual ia that the mother, Mrs.
Frances Lewis, lost her sight three
months before the boy was born and
has known only the touch of his hand
and has never seen him.
Mrs. Lewis, who used to be an
actress, retired from the stage fifteen
years ago to marry George Lewis of
Los Angeles. Lewis met with an acct
dent and became disabled. Mrs. Lewis,
worrying over their affairs to point
of obsession, was suddenly stricken
blind. Three months afterward little
Frank was born.
1t was a hard struggle for Lewis to
support his family, and he finally gave
it up. Mrs. Lewis, when frankie was
one year old, came to San Francisco to
live. Two years ago-Frankie was
eight years old at the time-Mrs.
Lewis was herself giving up the strug-
gle, not wanting to be a burden to her
friends.
Little frankie solved the problem
not all at once, by any means, but
slowly and with certainty He took TO
selling papers on the street. The first
day he made 40 cents. twenty-five of
this was expended for room for the
two of them in cheap lodging house
and 10 cents for their dinner.
Dark days, many of them, followed.
They never got very bright, except for
the sunshine that frankie brought
home with him, along with his meager
earnings.
It's a hard struggle" said Mrs.
Lewis. But the courage of my boy is
overwhelming"

WESTERN CANADA
Accompanying Industries Also
Prove Highly Profitable.

The cheese industry throughout
western Canada today is in highly
fiourishing condition and is bound in
| a very short time to become much
more important The war has created
| a great demand for that article, and
its use abroad has given it lot OF
useful advertising, The article known
as Canadian cheese is LOW sought not
| only by the soldier in the trenches,
but by the ordinary civilian consumer,
who having used it, is quick TO APP
preciate its value. This means that
| after the war there will be demand
created for it that would not other
wise have been. Up to the present
the war needs have limited the local
supply, but with the increased effort
that is now being put forth it is hoped
that this will be met. AS matter of
course the prices are high, and the
farmers who contribute to the cheese
factories are making money.
The cheese season is now fully open
and there is every prospect of an eX-
cellent year because the high price
which obtained last year will undoubt
eddy be maintained this season. West
ern Canada has all the natural re-
sources for the making of cheese, the
feed and the cool nights, two things
essential, and in time it is bound to
become one of the finest cheese coun
tries of the continent.
The lower foothills of Alberta, used
only at the present time as ranges or
for no purpose. will in time produce
cheese in great quantities, and doubt
less will soon equal the famous up
lands of Denmark.
The cool nights mean the better
keeping of milk and cream and
cheese, and that is a great thing for
the industry, especially when COM
bined with possibilities of cattle feed
such as exist on the long slopes from
The Rockies eastward.
The hog market, which may be
classed as an adjunct of farming is
an exceedingly good one, and the low
cost at which the feed can be pro-
duced, coupled with the high prices
realized, make this industry very prof.

NO; | don't want to be gutter, of
course, said Louise.
She walked over to the front windows
and stood idly staring down at the lighted
entrance to tall Office building across the
street. She felt lax in every fiber, as if her
mind and will were befogged. Three
young men came out of the building
across the street, and behind them was
fourth. Before the dressing the
voice of Inez babbled on: "And he says
to me: The sky's my limit And says
to him: Wish had an aerio-plane!'
But Louise did not hear her. She was
leaning forward with dilated eyes and a
sensation around her heart as if hand
had gripped it. For the fourth young
man was Shirley. He stood in the door
way an instant, buttoning his overcoat,
humping his shoulders as if he dreaded
the cold wind that was sweeping spirals
of dust before it down the street. There
was something indescribably tired and
listless in his attitude. Louise leaned
nearer to the glass, for now he was moving
off down the street. He passed brightly
lighted restaurant, and then Louise saw
that he wore his old spring overcoat. She
puzzled over this for an instant, and then
there flashed into her mind picture of
his winter coat hanging where she had left
it, with that torn place in the lining she
had started to mend the day before she
went away. If he had not already got his
death of cold, he probably would do so
before twenty-four hours were up Shir-
ley never took any care of himself in the
winter.
"I've got him sized up all right came
the voice of Inez. "He says he's from
Chicago, but bet on Syracuse. He says
to me"
RUT Louise whired on her heel, walked
to the top of the velvet stairs, de-
scended them rapidly, walked through the
mirror-lined corridor with eyes fixed
straight ahead. She did not see the man
with the Bakst necktie, nor his friend
with the diamond, although she passed
within two feet of their astonished faces
