Cried Vegetables May Help Win Wa

Cried Vegetables May Help Win War.
We can well profit by the expert
ence of the far-sighted Germans,
against whom the allies and our cohn-
try are now contending, in the matter
Of preserving food for future use by
drying. Germany has successfully
died fruit and vegetables on a large
scale for years, and the dried products
now form a substantial part of the ma
tons diet. The Germans do not can
products as extensively as we do, and
the dried food largely takes the place
of canned fruit and vegetables.
The allies have found that vegeta-
bles are necessity for the men in the
trenches, and in the fall Of 1915 they
contracted for great quantities of
dried vegetables which were purehas'
ed and dried in western New York
East year, partly because OF poor
crops in that section, vegetables were
purchased and dried in Canada. Much
may depend on our ability to be able
to furnish dried vegetables and fruit
products to the allies this fall and
winter in large quantities. It has
been demonstrated that the dried pro
ducts, even though crudely dried are
acceptable TO the soldiers and sailors

SPARKLING Eyes.

If you should watch very closely the
eyes of a merry person when you see
them sparkle you would probably no
tice that the eyelids move up and down
more often under such conditions than
ordinarily, and If you know what NOV
ing the eyelids up and down in front
Of the pupil of the eye does you will
have your answer, says the Book of
Wonders.
Every time the eyelid comes down II
releases little tear, which spreads
over the eyeball and washes 1t clean
and bright. 1t does this every time the
eyelid comes down. Now, there Is
something about being merry which has
the effect Of making the eyelids dance
up and down, and thus every time the
lid comes down the ball Of the eye Is
washed clean and bright and gives IL
the appearance of sparkling, US we say

ana derirntlon of the WORD

The derivation Of the word IN
this sehse is the Dutch ''sas," sluice
odd English "sasse." In Queen Annes
reign they were yet so comparatively
uncommon as to be mentioned as a
special feature of houses that were ad-
vertised as ito let" In the Taller, for
instance, May 27-30, ITO, there is this
advertisement:
ITO be lett in DeyOnshire Square,
near Bishopsgate, a very good Brick
House of 3 Rooms Of Floor, and n
good Hall, with very good light and
dark Closets, the whole House being
we'll walnscoted and sash'd with 30
Sash Lights"
From T.
France where the first to put them
up was Marshal de Lorge at his new
house at Montmartre. Speaking Of this,
Lister in 1899 writes in his Journey
to Paris" I'VE had the good fortune
here to find the marshal himself. He
showed us his great sash windows
how easily they might be lifted up and
down and stood at any height, which
contriyance. he said, he had out of
England London Standard.

Tranninn Turtles.


In the old days in the south the ne
gro fishermen used to have an ingen-
ious and simple way of trapping fresh
water turtles. Any boy today can use
the same method with the same effect.
Turtles have fayorite summing logs.
Beside one Of the logs sink water
tight box two feet long and a foot and
a half wide. The open top of the box
should stand about an inch above the
water. Nail the box securely against
the log in such a position that 1t will
catch the turtles that fall from the
log. After the trap has been set leave
the pond or lake for a time. On re-
turning approach the log quietly from
the side opposite the box. If there
are any turtles on the log, frighten
them suddenly They will pitch Off
hurricdly into the box.-Youth's Com
panlOn.

To keep From LOSING Breath.

Where respiration Is rhythmical there
Is no loss OF breath In walking fast,
running uphill or going upstairs. The
method of preventing breathlessness
consists In maintaining the rhythm and
the speed Of respiration. When the
breathing Is rhythmic the breathing
keeps pace with the step. The out
breathing must be twice the length
Of the inbreathing, and not more than
eighteen or twenty complete breath cir
cults must be made per minute.

What a Parson
Did
BY FRANK ELLIS

What a change half century has
made in methods Of travel! In 1850
to reach New York from Cincinnati.
then the Queen City Of the West, one
might 60 part Of the way by steam
boat, another by stagecoach and the
balance by canal. In such conveyances
people were thrown together intimate.
ly, and lifelong friendships were often
made. The passenger canalboat was
the first to pass out Of use, and there
are few living who remember it as a
method Of travel.
1t was in 1S45 that one Of these pas
senger canalboats was being dragged
along by horse on the towpath.
There were no staterooms, only berths
something like those in a modern
sleeping car. Between these was the
cabin, where the passengers lounged
during the day and evening. At that
time the professional gambler worked
in the narrow channels Of the period.
He was on the steamboat, but did not
disdain the canalboat. On this canal
boat portion Of the bow had been
curtained off. and in it were card ta.
bles. At one Of these tables sat a pro-
fessional gambler fleeing youngster
of twenty
That youngster was my uncle, and !
got the story | am about to tell from
him.
He had been deputed to carry some
$4,000 from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg.
How the gambler knew that he had
the money with him he did not learn.
My uncle played with the sharper till
he had lost all the money that had
been given him for his expenses, then
began to play with his trust fund. He

half Of the $S,OOO
The next morning was Sunday. A
service was held in the cabin, conduct
ed by clergyman slightly past middle
age. My uncle was much impressed
with his appearance and the fervor
with which he spoke. His accent was
that of a southerner. My uncle said
That the clergyman attacked gambling,
telling a number Of interesting, many
OF them pathetic. incidents, in which
some foolish person had been robbed
OF all he possessed. In these stories the
speaker showed an intimate knowledge
OF all forms Of swindling at cards. He
was looking straight at my uncle while
ne talked and seemed to be speaking
10 him personally. Then my uncle re.
membered that while playing with the
gambler he had seen the clergyman
standing among those overlooking the
game.
Ine next morning my uncle was
eager to renew the play, hoping to
win back what he had lost. He argued
tnat to lose any part Of the fund with
wnlch he had been intrusted would
ruin him the same as if he lost the
whole Therefore that afternoon he
proposed to the gambler that thew 90
