Even Fishes Can Be Drowned.


The fish is cold-blooded-that is, its
temperature is very slightly above
that of the water in which it lives,
and it, therefore, needs but little oxy-
gen to keep the blood warm enough
to sustain its life. This oxygen sup
piled to the blood by the gills in res
piration is not obtained by decompos-
ing the water, but by separating the
air from it. 1t is, therefore, nec-
essary that the water in which fish
live should be supplied with air, and
this is one of the direct benefits OF
the agitation of oceans and lakes by
winds. Fishes confined in aquariums
often die for this very reason, because
the water is not aerated. They con-
sumo all the oxygen in the closed YES
sci in which they are placed, and no
more being supplied they die, and may
be said to be drowned, because they
perish from the same cause that occa'
sions death by drowning in lung
breathing animals-that is, want of
air.

SWEET REMEMBRANCES.

T EFT fate do her worst; there are .
- relics of joy,
Bright dreams of the past, which
she cannot destroy;
And which come in the night time
of sorrow and care, .
And bring back the features that :
joy used to wear.
Long, long be my heart with such
memories filled;
Like the vase in which roses have .
once been distilled.
You may break, you may shatter
the vase If you will,
But the scent of the roses will .
hang round 1t still.

"Stray Gold" appropriately styled

Grand Forks, Mimi, and Keokuk,
Iowa. The book is published by the
st. Paul Book G. Stationery company,
and is gotten up In very attractive

dents of this city a number Of years

the legal staff of the Great Northern
railway. The Grand Forks Herald
makes the following comment about
Mr.. Taber's book:

spirit Of the traveller. It's verses

which has so much of optimism about
it. Mr.. raber has visited through

countries as Alaska and India. His
experience has been worldwide and
there Is much Of the cosmopoltte
about his poetry.
His verses Of the west and north
are particularly good. In reading them
one seems to feel the tragedies and
the comedies of the mining camps:

Reports That Persons Helped

What would you do with the follow.
ing applicants for material relief If
you had the opportunity of helping?
they represent only one days work Of
the general secretary of the United
Charities. The following stories
were told in the office and verified on
Wednesday, February 2, 1915:
A young man who was working his
way north. stopped off in Keckuk for
medical treatment and was sent to
the United Charities. AS there was
no chance of receiving free treatment
because Of the nature of his malady,
he was given first aid and advised
where he could get the medical care
so greatly needed. Material for first
aid furnished by a business man.
A good old woman who had raised
family and seen them married off
one by one, telephoned in, asking for
fuel, saying they were freezing to
death. A visit to the home showed
that she was living with son who
HAD Just gone to work and that it
would be three weeks before he could
draw any money. His credit was
gone and he was up against the wall
for coal to keep his mother wife and
baby warm.
A family living not more than two
blocks from Rand park were reported
as being greatly in need of fuel The
husband has drank more than he
should, and since Christmas has not
had days work. The wife can not
go out to work as she is needed at
home to care for family of small
children. They rent an old tumble
down shack from woman who col
lects six dollars month for the
privilege of staying in the place.
Until this last spell Of severe weather
the children managed to collect a
goodly lot of dead timber in the park.
After having given the best part Of
her life in raising q family of four
boys, it came pretty hard for this
mother to be sent here and deserted
by them and their father. 1t looks
as though 1t would be UP to the com
munity to take care of this woman
and her daughter until matters can
be Strengthened out. OF course they
need food and fuel, and possibly house
rent will be necessary.

gave him a new idea. He went to his

Germany Still Stubborn.
by Carl w. Alderman, United Press
Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Feb. 4. (Via Amsterdam.)
Unless America valves disavowal
of the sinking of the Lus1tania, or
agrees to submit the question to The
Hague arbitration, an amicable ad-
justment on the German-American
controversy is impossible.
This is the unanimous view taken
by German officials and Berlin news
papers today.
The Lokal Anzeiger, one Of Ger
many's most influential newspapers
declared today that Germany has
done her utmost to prove her friend
ship for America. The newspaper
further declared that Germany can
not admit that the sinking Of the
Lusitania was In violation Of interna-
tional law
Officials endorsing this view, ex-
pressed the hope that Colonel e. M.
House, the presidents confidential
agent, who is now in Paris, will be
able to present the German attitude
to the president SO correctly that an
amicable settlement may be reached.
