Text Of Britain's Reply.

Following is the text of Great Brit
aims reply:
I'm the proclamation to the Russian
people Enclosed with the note 1t is said
that free Russia does not purpose to
dominate other peoples or take from
them their national patrimony. or foroi-
bly, occupy foreign territory. In this
sentiment the British government
heartily concur. They did not enter
the war as a war of conquest: they are
not continuing it for such object.
Their purpose at the outset was to
defend the existence of their country
and enforce respect for international
engagements. To these objects now
have been added that OF liberating
populations oppressed by alien tyranny
They heartily rejoice. therefore. that
free Russia has announced here inten-
ton of liberating Poland. not only Po-
land ruled by the old Russian autoc-
racy. but equally that within the do
minion OF the Germanic empires. In
this enterprise the British democracy
wish Russia godspeed.

RUSS TOLD BRITAIN
BACKS WILSON VIEWS
London Meets Slavs' Demand for q
Statement Of War
Aims.

LONDON. June l2.-In reply to the
Russian governments request for a
statement of the British war aims
Great Britain has forwarded to Petro-
grad a note. in which 1t expressed
hearty acceptation and approval OF
the principles which President Wilson
laid down In his historic message to
Congress. The British government be-
lieves, broadly speaking. that the
agreements made from time to time
with Britain. allies are conformable
to those stant lrds.
The purpose If Great Britain at the
outset, says Il note. was to defend
the existence q the country and en-
force respect fc International agree
ments. Since then there has been added
that of "liberating populations OPP
pressed by alien tyranny" The note
bespeaks not only the liberation OF
Poland by Russia but Of that section

WHAT CALDER or GUN MEANS
Term as Applied to Artillery Is Cause
Of Confusion in the Popu-
lar Mind.

Confusion as to the meaning Of the
term caliber arises chiefly from its
use us an adjective to indicate length,
as when we say "a 50-caliber six-inch
gum" The word caliber, as applied to
artillery, signifies the diameter Of the
bore of gun measured Numerically
from face to face of the bore, of course
somewhat larger.
A gun, then, of six-inch caliber is a
gun whose bore is just six inches. For
convenience and because the power of
gun when once its bore has been de-
cided upon depends so greatly upon Its
length artillerists are In the habit Of
defining the length Of the gun In terms
Of the caliber.
Thus the Pinch United States ma
val gun, which is 40 feet In length, Is
spoken of as a 40-caliber Pinch, the
length being just 40 times the bore.
The 6-inch rapid-fire gun Is trifie I'M
der 20 feet In length and Is therefore
known as a 5O-caliber gun.
In the case Of small arms the cali
Der Is expressed In hundredths of an
inch, as when we say 22-calIber re-
volver we mean one with bore that
has a diameter of % Of an inch.

HOW TO MANICURE CANARY
II Is Job That Must Be Done, But
Extreme Care SHOULD Always
Be Used.

As q canary grows old, 1t will be no
ticed that It's claws get long and catch
on the perches and wires as it hops
about the cage. In a state of nature
the activity of the bird as it moves
about on the ground or among twigs
and limbs keeps the claws properly
worn down. Confined in cage, the
birds claws become entirely too long.
1t is necessary, therefore, to trim
them with pair of sharp scissors ev-
cry few months. 1t is important to
watch the condition of the claws care
fully. as by catching they may cause
q broken leg. In each claw a slender
blood vessel extends well down toward
the tip. This may be seen on close
examination through the transparent
sheath of the claw. In trimming cut
well beyond this canal and take spe-
clal care not to break the leg while
handling the bird.
In cage birds the horny covering Of
the bill, as well as the claws, some
times becomes distorted through
growth without sufficient wear The
tips of the mandibles may be pared
down with sharp knife, but care
must be taken not to cut deep enough
to reach the quick.

Be Prepared to Meet Trouble.

There Is serious side to life as well
as carefree one. The average mother
should remember this and should i'm
press upon her family the wisdom OF
being prepared to meet whatever trou-
BILE comes into the home. ..... 81
Everyone has his or her burdens to
bear. and the old-fashloned habit Of
coming forward and making collections
for persons In trouble isn't In vogue
these days. 1t Is good thing, too, that
times have changed, for no one need be
dependent upon public or private char
ity II he or she looks ahead. acknowi-
edges his or her responsibilities and
uses the proper means to meet them.
As rule II is always the extravagant
and unsystematic person who has to
call for aid: but the woman who looks
at life from business standpoint
who assumes her responsibilities
always independent and never finds II
necessary to seek assistance from
others.

Owl No, Really Wise Bird.

Since 1t has been recognized that
the owl is a beneficial bird, econom-
iceily important as a destroyer Of
rats. mice and gophers, there is an
increasing tendency to restore its
classic significance. Like many peo-
pie Of deliberate manner and few
words, owls are not as wise as they
look. They are quite easily caught
in traps. In case the barn in which
the owls make their home catches fire
the, owls usually burn to death. They
get along very well In captivity when
they are comfortably housed and fed
either mice or variety OF food. but
they cannot live ON diet Of raw pork
or beef. +..-,-. s.-.-. -.- -.

Syriae Language.

Syriac Is one Of the three groups Of
languages into which the old Aramaic
Of Assyria and Babylonia was devel-
oped, the other groups being the Chal-
dale and the Mathematician.
The Syriac is emphatically Chris
tian literature language. the Bible was
translated into 1t as was deal OF
writing from the fourth to the tenth
century, and II. instead of Latin. is the
liturgical language of the Roman Cath
olics OF Lebanon In Syria today.
The Syro-Chaldaic is a variant Of
the Syriac. combining features of both
the Syriac and Chaldaic groups. 1t Is
found In use in Kurdistan and the Lake
Urmia districts.

FARMER BEHIND THE TIMES
His wife Tells How SIZE Has Lived
for Many Years Without Modern
conveniences.

In the American Magazine n farm
er's wife tells of some Of her expert
ences. She says:
"My husband does not, or will not,
realize that the world has moved, and
that what were Injuries a generation
ago are necessities now. One of my
children died of typhoid fever, the
germs Of which were, no doubt, brought
by flies from the house down the road
where they had the disease; for we
haven't screen door IN the house, and
only few cheap adjustable screens.
1--WE sleep on feather beds, because
mattresses cost money. and the feather
beds were In the house--a part of the
furnishings that married, when took
my husband for better or for worse. We
have chairs with rounds missing. worn
carpets, nicked dishes and cooking
utensils that have long since outllved
their usefulness. ffN
"The house Is inconvenient, and for
that reason alone homework is much
harder than II ought to be, and house
work Is hard enough in all conscience
on a farm. We have no water In the
house. For % years I have fetched
and carried water. There are two
steps between the kitchen and the din
ing room, which, by the way, was for
merly bedroom and has no place for
a stove. The 'parlor' is across haR
from the main part of the house and is
only opened on special occasions"

Atmosphere Now Believed by scien-
lists to Have Three Fairly
Distinct Strata.

The earth's atmosphere is now be
Iieved TO have three fairly distinct
strata. the first extending up to about
forty-fve miles. having nitrogen as the
leading constituent; the second, with
its upper limit at about 125 miles, be-
ing chiefly hydrogen, and the third.
ut a still greater height, consisting of
a very thin gas which has been named
"geocoronlum." DIR. Alfred Wegener
has attempted to explain the striking
differences of color In meteors or
shooting stars and says that mete-
ors coming from outer space are not
sufficiently heated In the exceedingly
light gas to become luminous. Their
fall through the hydrogen layer causes
them to become incandescent, and be-
fore they reach the lowest stratum
most of them are completely dissi-
pated. A few Of the largest however
penetrate the nitrogen atmosphere, q
very small number reaching the earth's
surface. 1t Is found that the deep-fall-
ing meteors pass through three stages
of color, yellow-white. green and deep
red and II is concluded that the green
Is due to incandescence OF the hydro
gen and the red to that OF the nitrogen.
Only the first stage Is seen In the
quickly dissipated meteors, the white.
yellow or sometimes reddishness be-
ing evidently the glow Of the meteor
substance. ~

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarrah
deafness, and that is by eonstitu-
tional remedy Catarrhal Deafness
IS caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
tube When this tube is inflamed you
have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result. Unless the in
Illumination can be reduced and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing viii destroyed forever. Many
cases of deafness are caused by cat
arrh, which is an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh

The bowels become weak and unable

constipation worse. Chamberlain S

their gentle action. Price 25c.
