snails Very Nutritious.

"All snails are edible and nutri
tious," says Canon Hershey in a book
on British land and fresh water mol
luscs, just published. He goes on to
say that even the common or garden
snail, though insipid, is as nourishing
as calf's-foot jelly.
There is large white-shelled snail
called Helix pomatia that is common.
ly eaten by connoisseurs in the South
of England, while all over France,
Italy and Spain several species are
used as food. In France there are
many small farms which yield a good
profit TO their owners. In the French
and Italian quarters of New York
snails may be bought, either alive or
cooked, and at most of the French
restaurants they are served, oscar
gots farcis" being the most usual
form of dish.
Snails are easy to raise in large
quantities. They need lime for maxi
ing their shells, but they do not have
to be fed, as they can find their own
food, which is exclusively the leaves
of many plants. They are most deli
cious when properly prepared and
cooked, and, as Canon Hershey says,
as nourishing as calf's-foot jelly.

am sorry TO say philosophers and doc
tors at large firmly assert the mother
has much to do with Sultivating q
babys bad temper or succeeding by
patience in roofing II out.
1t is said that the child soon discov.
ers that it can have anything it wants
by screaming hard enough for it, re-
f1sing to be quelled until it conquers.
Exasperated mothers, with nerves all
atingle, do anything, give them what
they want, to hush the distressing
cries. Through childhood, girlhood
and into womanhood they carry the
wand which has proved so successful
for them.
Acquaintance, friends and sweet
hearts are not SO amenable as their
family and refuse to give the girl with
a hasty temper her own way. There
fore she gets many a Jolt and heart
ache as she goes through life.
If she must earn her own living q
hasty temper is the most serious
drawback, she could be cursed with.
Employer or fellow workers will not
submit to her WILL She soon discov-
ers that her lack of Judgment in not
holding her peace and her tongue has
cost her good position.
After few such experiences, she
practices that which she should have
been made to do in childhood-curbs
her angry emotions by strong will
power.
The most pitiful thing that can hap
pen young woman is to carry hasty
temper into her married life. All of
the happiness of her after life depends
upon the disposition of the man she
has annexed. II he is of peaceful
nature, abhoring contention, he will
most likely continue to give her her
own way Just as her home folks have
done and live in continual turmoil
ever after. These are the husbands
who are apt to vote marriage failure.
Sweethearts' quarrels usually mean
that one or the other possesses has
ty temper. 1t should be overcome in
the trying school of courtship. A
hasty temper is the cause of more
misery in this world than most people
are aware of. This is just word of
warning to those who need it.

stampede Proof"

Republican leaders" are quoted by
the New York Times as having no
fear that the Chicago convention will
be stampeded for anybody. Such
exceeding care" they said, has been
exercised to obtain staid and un-
emotional delegates, that the con-
dition will be as near stampede
proof as convention can possibly be
made"
A stampede proof convention, in
the opinion of the Republican leaders,
is one which will do what the old
guard leaders from Massachusetts,
New York, and Pennsylvania think lie
best to be done.-Kansas City Star

transit, the animal would be tipped
over into the River Espirito Santo Q
thousand feet below.
From Sal-si-puede onward the mules
waded streams, floundered through
mud to their middles and labored over
fallen logs, often on trail so narrow
and so overgrown that it was neces-
sary constantly to use the machete to
clear the path Of hanging vines and
dense underground. On one occasion
after eight hours of scrambling and
wading through mud and water, Mr..
Cherries mule slipped in deep pool
of thin mud and became tangled in the
roots at the bottom, pinnipg the foot
of the rider under it. Mr.. Cherrie was
held up there deep in the mud until
two mule drivers could return to extri.
cate him.
The advantage of having compact
units of baggage was made evident in
this locality. The jamming of baggage
tween saplings or in washed-out
gully would necessitate a halt and
while the load on the mule that had
caused the halt was being recinched,
dozen other mules would start ex-
ploring the neighbOring thickets.
Sometimes re whole train would be
thrown into confusion and all the pack
animals would have to be rounded UT

Animal and Bird Life.
There were no wild animals of a
kind to be feared by man along this
route. Along the banks of the Chapare
we found evidences of tapir, paca,
capybara, jaguar, tiger cat, peccary,
deer. coat, agouti and others, but the
high water, which varies sometimes
forty feet between seasons, had driven
game to the highlands, making hunt.
ing possible only at the highest points
along the Mamore. Bird life was most
abundant in Bolivia; a collector could
spend several seasons to advantage in
these little-traversed routes across the
South American states. When the in.
cidental mishaps and Inconvenience
are forgotten, the Bolivian Yungas be-
tween Todos Santos and the Chepare
may well be compared with other
natural wonders. Daily the vistas OF
palm, fern and floral growth, with cas-
cades, waterfalls and freshets, make
delightful background for the abun-
dant bird and other animal life.
At the beginning of the Chapare the
Yungas disappeared and our arriero
now led the way down the river bed,
or through the cane and bamboo
brakes, pushing on through mud and
water. Due to good chance our camps
remained above water except in two
instances. One night in particular the
rains filled the Espirito Santo and San
Antonio rivers and left us in three feel
of water at daybreak.

forth in search Of kindred heart. The
same desire animates all species en-
dowed with life-to answer to the
trumpet call of spring.
Few men like to change their mode
of living in the cold of winter. They
are costly housed and comfortable and
are not averse to letting 1t 60 at that.
In the springtime, mixed with the joy
of living, certain twinge of loneli-
ness creeps in. He longs to be in the
open, to have someone near who en-
joys the sunshine as much as he does.
Aye, and when the balmy evenings
come, heralding the delights of sum-
mer, the human nature in him cries
out necessarily for someone's dear lit
tie hands to hold, someone to make
love to, not lightly with no further
thought than the enjoyment of a gol-
den hour, but with the earnest inten-
tion of wooing in the spring and we'd
ding while the glorious summer is
still here. That is why so many
matches are made in summer.
Women, too, are moved by spring
influences in affairs of the heart. The
girl who has steadfastly refused to
look upon man in the light of
lover while the world was white and
cold in its mantle Of snow and ice
z more often than not changes her mind
without apparent rhyme or reason as
the warm, sweet days draw on apace.
Women are more romantic than men;
they love to be told the old, sweet
story under the light of the May moon.
II he has not quite arrived at the pro-
posing time, for one reason or an
other, by that mystical month, any 9TH
er month Of the dear ole summertime
will do, but the earlier the better. A
happy man is he who has taken time
by the forelcck, has passed through
the courtship state successfully and Is
awaiting a glorious spring day to have
the wedding solemnized.
Why not make your vacation a we'd
ding trip? Many man has settled
the question in that happy manner
and ever afterward has cause to bless
the hour that the thought occurred to
him. Women delight in spring be-
trothals, weddings and bridal trips.
Why shouldn't they when it is the
most delightful season of the entire
year? They, too, take their little les
sons from the blithesome robins of
spring.
Unfortunate is the man who sees the
balmy months approaching with no
sweetheart to aid him to greet it. Wise
is he who repairs the lack of fore
sight by remedying the unfortunate
situation at the earliest day possible.
No energetic man who realizes the re-
sponsibility placed upon him by al
lowing him entrance to this world and
the privilege Of living here should
shirk his duty of going forth to find
the mate the Lord has created for
him.

The issue of smartneas.

The main trouble with the Repub-
lican party is that it has no princi-
pies and no issues that relate to &C
tual conditions of government, and
does not know where to find them.
All the claim 1t can make to power
is the egotistical assertion that while
there may be no party issue, Repub-
licans are ipso facto smarter than
Democrats and so ought to govern.
No opposing party ever overturned a
national administration on such plat
form. and we doubt If one ever will.

violating sundry state laws. Occas-
ionally we do not need the word of a
gentleman from Harrisburg to set us
right. The Lord sends a cloudburst

that our engineering, in spots, defles

sewers. We are going to remedy the

WILSON'S PEACE SPEECH

DRESIDENT WILSON'S speech be-
fore the conference of the League
to Enforce Peace at Washington
Saturday night, as usual, lacks the
definite note and is therefore disap-
pointing to those who had expected
him to outline some program to be
followed by the administration during
the remainder of the war and in the
negotiations leading up to a treaty
of peace. Indefiniteness clothed in
high-sounding phrases is the Presi-
dents besetting weakness, but in this
instance he may be excused for not
going on record, although the infer
ence was plain in the newspaper dis
patches from the White House that
at last he did mean to speak plainly
concerning his views and purposes in
this respect.
The President however, struck a
popular note when he expressed him
self in favor of the United States join
ing heartily in any such move as the
League to Enforce Peace proposes.
despite the fact that such a declara-
ton is in open violation of the oft
repeated warning against American
alliances with foreign nations. When
Washington uttered his solemn pro-
test against "entangling" relations he
could not have foreseen such condi-
tons e. the world faces to-day and

Lowell and Preparedness

(From Roosevelt's Memorial Speech)
If we are true to the men of the
mighty past we shall guide ourselves
by what Lowell wrote to the pacifists
of his time, who-to use his own words
wished to "knuckle down." to their
foes, he said:
"Peace won't keep house with Fear.
If you want peace the thing you've
got to do
Is just to show you're up to fighting
too;
Better that all our ships with all their
crews
Should sink to rot in oceans dream
less ooZe,
Each torn flag waving challenge as it
went
And each dumb gun a brave mans
monument,
Than seek such peace as only towards
Give me the peace of dead men or of
Brave"
Come Peace Not like mourner
bowed
For honor lost and dear ones wasted,
But proud to meet people proud,
With eyes that tell of triumph
tasted.
Come, while our country feels the lift
OF a great instinct shouting For
wards'
And knows that freedoms not a gift
That tarries long in hands of cow
ards"

TUESDAY EVENING, MAY 80
MEMORIAL DAY

TXTHEN you lay a flower to-day on
wv the grave of a soldier you
honor the memory of a de-
parted hero. But you do more than
that. You not only pay tribute to the
dead: you light a taper before the
altar Of the living, bright-shining spirit
of patriotism.
Pessimists have been fond of telling
us that patriotism in the United States
is dead; that it has been sacrificed to
the dollar; that we are a nation of
money! -grubbers, with our thoughts on
material prosperity and our vision no
higher than the topmost figure in the
ledger of business. But that is not so.
Perhaps it was true that for time we

was, and not so long ago, about the
time that Spread eagleism' went out
of fashion, that we wondered nightly
rs we stood to sing the tar-Spangled
Banner" for instance, what the other
fellow thought about it. We were
patriotic, but we were chary of dis
playing our sentiment. We feared we
might be OVERRIDING it,"
But times have changed and a new
national consciousness has come to us
in the past few years. Yesterday the
Rotary Club stood to drink a silent
toast to the soldier-dead and to sing
the national anthem, and it was not an
occasion either for mawl<ish sentiment
or heroics. 1t was a simple ceremony;
the men of the community voicing
their admiration and veneration for
the soldiers who stood between their
loved land and the wars desolation."

boys laid a wreath on the soldiers and
sailors monument and this, too, was
u simple service, without pomp or cir
oumstance. 1t was simply an express
sion of love and reverence for the men
who marched away to glory or the
grave" at the call of their country.
A thousand other such scenes were
enacted to-day. Their meaning is
plain. Our men are no less lovers of
the old flag than were their fore
fathers, and the honor they do the
hallowed dead is but a guarantee that
they, too, would make the great sacri-
fee as willingly and as courageously
as did the Boys in Blue who sleep
their long sleep beneath the blankets
of blossoms strewn by loving hands
to-day. Above the peace and quiet of
the tomb shines the light of patriotic
devotion, bright and eternal.

any such thought as that expressed by

as impossible then as the use of aero
planes in warfare at that early date.
1t is not fair, therefore, to the first

the belief that the country is ripe for
such an experiment as the league pro-
