Rat Deadly Disease Carrier.

The Spanish war developed the fact that the mosquito was the carrier of yellow fever, writes B. W. Nelson In the National Geographic Magazine. Another type of mosquito is known to be the carrier of malaria. The Eu- ropean war has brought to almost uni versal public knowledge the fact that body lice are carriers of the deadly typhus and many diseases are known to be carried by other insects.
 Among these deadly carriers of death and destruction none equals the house rat in its tremendous drain on the prosperity of nations by its de struction of food and other property, while at the shme time 1t is the dead Hest of all to mankind as a disease carrier. Within historic times 1t has caused the death of untold millions of human beings through its dissemi- nation of the bubonic plague.

Tho Worst Way.

Back in the dark ages, when the management of the Erie railroad was not all that 1t should have been-the rolling stock needing more oil and the common stock less water-a vest bound passenger train jolted into Corn ing one day two hours behind time and halted to patch up the engine and take on such passengers as were in no hurry and preferred waiting to walking.
 Just as the train was about to jerk itself in motion an excited individual came rushing along the platform, drag ging a heavy carpetbag with one hand and waving telegram with the other.
 "You must waitl" he shouted, breathlessly. "Tm in an awful hurry i I want to get to Buffalo the worst wayr

A Near Calamity,

Little Mary was being initiated into the wonders of the Pullman car. She and her mother left the city early in the evening, each occupying big cush- toned seat in the car. Mary wished to know at once where they were to sleep, and after five minutes explana- ton by her mother she realized that they were to sleep in bed, made over their two seats, which would be con- pleted by the porter about nine o'clock.
 At the next stop a man entered the car and Mary was forced to give up her individual seat to him. He had reserved the upper berth, which she did not know. The giving up of the seat was for a time enough food for thought, but she finally burst out with this question:
 Mamma, if we sleep here, and all those other people sleep where they are sitting, where Is that man going to sleep?".
 That man," and the rest in the car laughed. The explanation process be- gan all over again.

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Use of Dead Wood for Fuel ls Alec Applied to SeoundreIs and
 the War.

Forestry experts in New York, a state which has given much conserv- ing attention to it's wealth in trees, urge farmers to help the country meet the high cost of fuel by making more use of the dead and dying timber in their wood lots. They are advised to burn in their stoves and grates the fallen logs stin sound enough to be converted into fire wood and to cut down and utilize crooked trees obvi- ously foredoomed to worthlessness as timber, no matter how long they may be allowed to stand
 This Is good advice. and there IS a human moral in the crooked stick part of 1t, says an exchange. The same stress of war times, which led to the appeal issued to New York farmers in sift1ng out crooked men. Some ras- calls will profit by war conditions, but in the broad view of the nations af- fairs the sound and straight will come to the front. The country can't take chances with scoundrels. It must cut crooked sticks out of the Nfe-and- death work of the war; in places of authority.

It was a Sunday evening at T
 Benjamin Harrison and the crowd oR sisters, mothers, aunts and sght-seefY was waiting at the interurban station for a car. At last one came. At the same time a crowd of soldiers with leave to go to the city arrived. IL was evident that the lone car and its small trailer could not carry all tha passengers. The soldiers held lit' tie consultation, and then suddenly of. fered to the women the use of the train. They said they would wait for another car. The train filled with sfs. ters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers left the little group, and the soldiers were thanked many times for the favor.
 At the siding just east of town the train bearing all these civilians was stopped and backed on to a switch. Two minutes later a car loaded with soldiers passed them on the main track, making bee-line for rtown.-In6ianap olis News. {,

With the Fingers! Says Corns Lift Out
 Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply on the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
 At little cost one can get small bot he of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid ones feet of every corn or callus without pain or sore- ness or the danger of infection.
 This new drug is an ether compound, and dries the moment 1t is applied and does not infame or even irritate the surrounding skin. Just thinkl You can lift off your corns and calluses now without bit of pain or soreness. If your druggist hasn't freezone he can easily get small bottle for you from his wholesale drug house.-adv.

PIRATES ARE NOT

MANY ARE IN ARMY
Employment Agency for Soldiers of Fortune Quits Business-Last In- stitution of the Kind in
 the World.

New York.-Demand for freebooters, flibusters and pirates of various de grees of legality is at low ebb. The war has killed both the call on these gentry and the supply on them. Ad- venturers of the whole world, almost to a man, are in the armies fighting the great war. Many have fallen. At the same time international expedi- tions do not have the free and easy time of 1t they enjoyed in the past. Armed enterprises starting inside their boundaries are frowned on more than of yore by the United States and all other strongly organized governments.
 These were the facts learned recent ly when 1t became known a kind of magazine employment agency for sol diers of fortune had quit business. It Is believed to have been the last clear Ing house of the kind in the world.
 Brought Adventurers Together.
 The magazine in question ran a reg ular department where those who planned storage, exotic and desperate ventures could get in touch with kin dred spirits. The publication made an effort to bar out illegal enterprises, with what success it is impossible to say. But a good idea of the kind of thing that has passed with the con- Ing of the world war may be got from the following three notices picked out of the once-a-month advertisement col umn in this section of the magazine:
