Palace Furnished Food.

At harvest festival held at Bishop,
CAL, the principal attraction was a
great palace built of alfalfa. The city
of Bishop is located in hay-growing
center, so there was ample material
with which to rear the unique struc-
ture. Baled alfalfa-more than one
thousand tons of twas used, and a
number of men were employed for sew.
eral weeks on the job.
The palace was designed to be an
exhibit hall. 1t was 90 feet wide and
40 feet long, beautifully proportional,
with an imposing entrance and walls
turreted all the way around. At night
it was outlined with hundreds of cleo
trio lights, making a picture more
charming than it presented by day. It
was built around and under towering
Lombardy poplars and other trees and
was open to the sky, but SO arranged
that all exhibits which required shade
were protected.

TO CUT ADULT DEATH RATE
Expectation of Life for Man of Forty
Is Year Shorter Than 1t Was
Decade Ago.

The statement made in recent bull
letin of the New York board of health
by DR.. Charles r. Bolduan that the ex-
pectation of life for man of forty
was actually at least a year shorter
than it was ten years ago, receives
confirmation from Australia in the re-
port Of commission appointed to in.
quire into the causes of death and IN
validity.
The Lancet (London) quotes this
commissions report as saying that the
principal risk of middle age is in high
blood tension. The principal causes of
this are found in overstrain and in
chronic poisoning of the blood by foods
and drinks, and from the bowels and
the throat.
The Lancet says the recommends
lions of the New York and the Aus
tralian bodies are somewhat vague,
but it welcomes q campaign against
avoidable adult mortality which it
says, ''need not become an opportunity
for the exhibition of rampant faddi-
ness, though risk lies in this direc-
ftion."

INTERESTING CITY OF CHINA
Urga, in the North, Chiefly Celebrated
for the Number of Its Pictur-
esque "HoIy Men,"

One of the least-known cities OF
China is Urga, where sand, squalor and
holy men are the predOminating fea-
lures. Yet the place is not without
interest. Urga lies at the edge OF
desert in North China, and it's people
are most un-C Chinese in appearance. 1t
is said that every third man met there
is q lama. The chief lama in Urga
is as great a parsonage in the North
as the Dalai lama half a century ago,
Thousands upon thosands of lesser
lamas adore him and tens of thou
sands of the populace in their turn
adore lesser lamas. There is also
college for the study of religion in
Urga, so that holy men in all stages
of holiness are present in great NUM-
bers. There are frequent festivals,
with great spinning of prayer wheels
and making of offerings and ceremO-
MES of publication, eliminating in the
grotesquely beautiful devil dance by
certain of the lamas in their horrible
robes and masks. The populace is
used to the religious atmosphere,
though, and it is the pilgrims from the
country round who are chiefly inn
pressed. They include all manner of
mysterious folks who live on the track
less steppes of inland Asia herders
by trade and doubtless robbers and
caravan bandits by vocation in most

RAISING CALF ON SKIM MILK
Young Animal Should Be Taught to
Eat Grain EarIy-In No Case
Feed 1t in Milk Ration.

The calf which is to be raised on
skim milk should be taught to eat
grain early. When they have access
to it, many of them will begin eating
at two weeks of age or three at the
latest.
The grain should be placed in a box
where they can easily get at it, and
they can be encouraged at first by plac
ing q little in their mouths after they
have consumed their milk. Grain can
best be fed dry after the milk is fed.
In no case should it be fed in the
milk, as in that case it will be gulped
down without chewing, which is bad
for the digestion.
