ARIZONA SONG
 |S MAKING HIT

One of the most attractive Arizona state songs yet produced is that just published by Mrs. H. F. Homer, who is the composer of both the words and music of Arizona, My Land" which is the title of the song. The number is now on sale at all music stores and the words are as follows: Arizona though so youthful,
 Yet few lands with you compare, Your desert fast is springing
 Into fields and gardens fair, Bringing forth a bount'ous harvest
 Many products choice and rare, Grown from your fertile soil.
 Mines of silver, gold and copper, Which are 'mong the worlds foremost
 Flocks of sheep and herds of cattle, Fine as any land can boast,
 With these and other riches, Greatly blest you give the most
 For the least amount of toll
 Refrain:
 o my Arizona Land
 Where there's a day tla, g ,.. -.,iy. Weather always bright and cheery;
 Unsurpassed your balmy cline. O my Arizona Land
 Air so pure on you reposes, F'raught with scents of pines and roses
 In perpetual summertime. You have scenes of rarest beauty,
 Where the giant cactus reigns; While 'mong your extensive forests
 One of yore as stone remains. Luring are your wondrous canyons,
 Mountains cool. and sunny plains, Beneath azure skies so clear.
 You are always bathed in brightness Giving landscapes brilliant hues,
 And the colors of such splendor, Blended in your sunset views;
 So very clear your stars shine, So much mellow light diffuse
 That heaven seems more near.

When a man goes into hardware

Cornmeai Mush.

1t has been found after careful tests
that five pounds and two ounces of
corn are required to produce one pound
of pork-that is. hog must consume
more than five pounds of corn to gain
pound in weight.
Cornmeal mush or cornbread, it fol-
lows, is vastly more economical as a
food for our tables than ham or bacon.
The only practical difficulty in bene-
citing by this knowledge is that many
people think that corn is so much bet
ter when it is transmitted by the lowly
hog that it is worth five times the orig
inal price.--New York Telegram.

MODERN WAR DISEASE.
Shell Shock and the Way 1t Hits and
Affljcts Its Victims,

Afflicts Its Victims.
To the medical profession modern war
has brought new disease. known as
shell shock or "shock she'll" as the
British war Office officially calls it.
To understand it's cause and action
we must take our place in the trenches
with company on the first line. An
attack is simmering and the constant
preliminary bombardment Of heavy and
light artillery is on.
Shells, shrapnel, high explosives are
rained on them and on the trench with
it's narrow communication to the sup
ports in the rear until there is con-
slant din of tremendous explosions and
the air is filled with noXiOus gas. Time
has come to seek cover and the soldier
ducks his steel helmeted head into his
underground dugout, crowds down with
his mates and waits for the storm to
blow over. Hours pass, days pass, some
preliminary Commandments lasting four
or five days, and food, water, patience
and nerves are exhausted by the awful
din, the nOisome air and the crowded
quarters with the sickeninG sights Of
nearby men disemboweled or otherwise
wounded unto death.
Then it is that minds go awry. Shell
shock attacks the veterans as well as
the recruits The poor lads with neu
rasthenic tendencies. with poor nervous
reserve or with histories of sapping
excuses and habits, begin to expert
ence an ever growing fear. Their limbs
start to tremble, their hearing becomes
affected, they cannot talk or see, and
have become jibbering or silent, trem-
bling human animals, almost literally
scared to death.
Scientifically, the disease may be di-
vided into two classes. One is the
pseudo shell shock following the course
equilibrium, deprived Of food and made
to fear for their lives; and the second
class is true shell shock occurring in
men who really sustain blows Of falling
sand bags and planks or are buried in
the upheaval Of earth following shell
explosion. Unfortunately the false d.
vision comprises over 95 per cent Of
the total number reported, and they
offer the poorest hope Of recovery o.
the proper martial spirit which the sol
der should have. The true cases gen
orally recover within fortnight. They
may, however. slip on then into the
pseudo class and become unfit for &C
tive military duty.--Dr. Kellogg Speed

PICKANNlNNY is REAL MUMMY
Body of Little Black Baby Preserved
in Pennsylvania City Did Not
Change In Twenty Years.

real mummy, little colored baby,
born some 20 years ago, who died
after living several weeks, is preserved
in an undertaking establishment at
Chester, Pa.
There is no record of the parentage
of the infant, and in brief it's history
is that it was found dead 20 years ago,
and that the body was turned over to
the late Thomas Minshali, then an I'M
dertaker and deputy coroner. AS the
body was never claimed, he decided to
use it for experimental purposes in
embalming, and prepared a special mix
ture of embalming fluid, a portion of
which he injected into the little body.
The result proved successful, and in
short time there were evidences of
mummification, and after being an OBJ
ject of curiosity and "ten days won
der" the mummy, christened "Izzie,"
was taken to an unused room in the
building and tucked away on the top
shelf of closet.
During all these years the infant
body has lain there undisturbed, ex-
cept when some curious person has
called at the establishment and re-
quested permission to see it. The
mummy is 20 inches long, weighs two
pounds and resembles in every way
real colored baby.

Miss Robinson and Caroline Thompson.
The last named is of the Methodist

mission was saved.
Nineteen other missionaries of an

caIorx Is Measure of Heat.

Calory is a word so much used by
physicians and writer's upon diet that
there is no excuse for anyone not I'M
Outstanding what it means. The defni-
ton of the word calory in the
dictionary is: "One or two recog-
nized units of heat, of which the great
or calory' or 'kilogram calory' is the
amount of heat necessary to raise one
kilogram of water l degree c.; the
lesser calory' or small calory' being
the amount of heat necessary TO raise
one gram of water l degree c."
Calory, then, is measure of heat.
The human body may be likened to a
furnace, and the food that goes into it
to the fuel, for this, in fact, is exactly
what it is, as it supplies the body
with what enables it TO keep up its
heat. So the heat-giving qualities of
our food are measured in calories.
