II. ]. Brown. 400 West Superior Ave,

confirmed drunkard. His friends and
relatives despaired of ever redeeming
cal men in Europe in the hope that she
might find something which would cure
him. Finally she was recommended to
an eminent chemist who gave her a
private formula (the same as appears
below and told her how to use it. She
had it filled at the drug store and gave it
to him secretly. The results were start

this by making public the same for

TO BUILD IMMENSE FLEET
Pacific Coast Capitalists Will Go Into
1 the Business on a Scale That
Is Gigantic.

Plans for the construction Of great
number of wooden vessels for ocean
and river traffic on the west coast have
been made public. Robert Veitch OF
Portland, Ore, announced that ship.
building on gigantic scale is to be-
gin as soon as a group of Washington
and Oregon state capitalists complete
the erection of mammoth shipbuild-
ing plant at Portland. Eastern men
were backing the enterprise, which is
being managed by men of Portland,
Spokane, Seattle and other cities of
that vicinity.
"They have completed the organiza-
ton of corporation that is to engage
in the business on gigantic scale, y
Mr. Veitch said zone attractive fea-
ture about the enterprise is that our
market is assured, and it will be as
sured for many years.
"The advantages of building wooden
instead of steel vessels in Portland is
obvious. Each ship will take about g.
100000 feet of lumber. The consump-
ton of Oregon forest products, there
fore, will be extended. These vessels
will be equipped with sails, also hav.
ing auxiliary power plants"

ABLE TO FOLLOW ANY TRAIL
Australian AboriginaIs Are Conceded
to Be the Finest Trackers
Known to the World.

The Australian aboriginals are the
finest crackers in the world.
On many occasions they perform
feats which are almost beyond belief.
But to them the work is quite habitual.
The boys are taught to track from
birth.
The women are just as expert as the
men. Horse tracks are child's play to
them; they can track horse at full
gallop. They can track anything
possums, snakes, iguanas; even beetles
leave sufficient trail for them to work
on.
The standard of honor among these
tribes is high. When one of them
breaks their strict code, fearing the
wrath of the tribe, he bolts, and
knowing he will be pursued, uses all
his knowledge in an effort to elude
those in search of him; br- it is ques-
tionable if there is single case on
record where he escaped.
What might be called classes in
tracking are held for the youngsters.
The tutor will get them in body, and
then disappear into the bush and do
everything he can do to make them
lose his tracks He will tiptoe along
fallen logs, swim a quarter of a mile
along stream, double on his tracks,
and so on.
Finally he returns to the boys, who
then set out to pick UP the tracks.

TooTHBRUSHEs ARE HIGHER
Row the War Has Seriously Affected
the Price of indispensable
Toilet Adjunct.

The humble toothbrush will become
a. luxury if the European war con-
tlnues another year. Unless peace is
declared soon, fifty cents or even
one dollar apiece may become the
price of the handmade toothbrush
that has been selling for twenty-five
or thlrty-fve cents. The "brushtowns"
OF France have been desolated by the
German army. They are in the velley
OF the Disc. In those towns are the
factories for sorting and bleaching the
Dr1stles, piercing the bone handles and
preparing them for the peasants to
I'LL with bristles.
IL is in the valley of the Disc, too,
that the peasants who fasten the bris-
Ties In our handmade toothbrrshes
live. All through that valley the red
tiled stone cottages of fhe peasants
sheltered girls and old women who
made toothbrushes during every spare
minute of the day Twelve cents a
dozen was the price paid for the work
when the American importers went
into the toothbrush business in
France. They contracted for a large
part of the output of the French fac.
tories, and raised the price paid to
the bristle workers to fifteen or even
eighteen cents dozen.
The price of good bristles has
doubled and trebled since the Euro
pean war broke out All toothbrush
bristles come from Russia and China.
The best grades are the Russian, and
the best of the Russian bristles grow
IN winter on a sort of half-wild boar
that is native to the Russian steppes.
The boars rub on the forest trees and
shed their bristles. These the peas
ants collect at certain seasons of the
year. Every hog that is slaughtered
for food is carefully shorn of it's
br1stles. The bristles are seven or
eight inches long, and very thick at
the base. Inferior bristles used in
Japanese brushes come from China.
where the winters are not so cold and
the bristles do not grow SO stiff.
Since fighting began in Europe the
Russian people have been too poor to
eat meat. And there is NO time to
save the bristles from hogs killed to
feed the soldiers. The Hebrew ped
dlers who went through the Russian
country exchanging tinware and house
hold utilities with the peasants for
these bristles have stopped their trips.
Good bristles cost ten dollars a pound
now, and they will go still higher

To kill typhus germs and the para
site which carries them, large camp
has been built at Eagle Pass, Tex,
for the disinfecting of travellers. All
their clothing is removed, thrown into
a sheet and baked for twenty minutes
in an immense oven.
The clothing is taken from their
baggage and treated likewise. The
hair and, body of the travellers, man
or woman, is then sponged with gaso-
line by an attendant to kill any stray
vermin, and trunks and bags are treat
ed in the same way.
Although no one is supposed to be
exempt from the ordeal, $50 judicious-
" placed in the hands of Mexican

PLATT KNOWS BIRDS

Representative Edmund Platt, who
is a newspaper publisher of Pough-
keepsie, N. Y, knows more things
that are true about birds than any
body else in congress.
Whenever he can collect a little
spare time, Platt puts dull statecraft
behind him and sets forth into the
woods and fields to listen. to the song
and twitter of the birds. Sparrows,
robins, flamingoes, storks, crows,
wrens-no matter what kind of birds
he sees, Plat knows them all by sight.
If bird is sitting still he can tell it
by it's plumage, if flying, by it's flight.
And if he can't see the stork or linnet
or cockatoo or whatever the bird is,
he can identify it by its song. A bird
finds it practically impossible to fool
Plat The blackbird that tries to
pass itself off on Plat for quail pre-
sents an absurd spectacle.
