Taking the Poison Out of Salt.

As far as the supply of salt goes there is CuOvwh available to last us forever. Michigan alone. according to the Popular Science Monthly, claims to be able to supply the whole world for 2,000 years with all the salt it needs. But no matter how plentiful salt may be it has the disadvantage of being q poison, for no salt is wholly pure. Thus if the poisCn in salt can be eliminated vast additional sources will be available.
 Scientists have come to the front and have tackled the problem successfully. By adding a solution of just the right amount of sulph2te of soda the barium or poison in the salt is changed to sul- phate and with it is removed the pink or brownish color due to iron salts. Thus is made available an unlimited supply of salt, which means more raw material for our chemical industries, because the barium bearing salt is used for salting hides, for siazing pottery and for making ice.

Byron and Hi3 Fat.

Poetry and a too pronounced plump ness do not harmonize well. and n one was more widely awake to this fact than Lord Byron. Many were the means he adopted for ridding himsel. of h.s unwelcome "adipose deposit"
 In q letter to his solicitor he said:
 "I wear seven waistcoats and a great coat, run and play cricket in this dress till quite exhausted by excessive per spiratlon, use the bath daily, eat only q quarter of a pound of butchers meat in twenty-four hours. By these means my ribs display skin of no great thick ness and my clothes have all been taken in nearly half a yard."-London Telegraph.

You know Sherman spoke the truth about war. Those who have been in it know how to hate it. Yet we are glad | today that we are at war.
 am glad to be here to sound an optimistic note.
 It is beyond question that great good has been accomplished by war. The barbaric hordes of Asia were re. pelled from the shores of Greece at the battle of Marathon. Christianity was saved from being overwhelmed by Charles Martel at the battle of Tours. The great Crusades that swept ever Europe in the dark ages did bring in the light and made the reformation possible. The wars of the Netherlands destroyed the tyrany of Spain and led the way for religious freedom and be- came the asylum of the pilgrim. fathers when forced to flee from England. The American Revolution will always stand as a landmake in the his. tory of political freedom and democracy.
 If ever war was. justified it was yours. What it cost in blood and treasure yet Slavery was abolished. The Country was saved united. Darkness became light and millions of black men now rejoice.
 This world war will bring great good. Many think it is the last war.
 A war to end forever all war. Good has already come because of it. The evils of intemperance have been demonstrated and Lord Roberts yer. dict being proved true. All of the shame and misery that the world has experienced because oi this great evil is to be abolished and thank God our nation is taking her place in the front rank. Russia is free, what this means for the future world is beyond our thought. The vision of past years is being made real today. The league to enforce peace is coming A new and noble spirit is everywhere. The world is being remade. Old age customs, traditions deep in ages are gone. Law is to take the place of war.

Miliukoff of Russia,

Professor Paul Miliukoff was widely known in Russia as historian before the uprising i'll 1905. During that rev olution he sprang into prominence as the founder of the Constitutional Dem ocratic party, which numbered in its ranks some of the noblest and finest men in Russia. Before that time Pro- lessor Miliukoff had lived in America, where he lectured at Harvard and at the University of Chicago. He studied American life and familiarized himself with American Institutions and the American form of government Dur ing the revolution of 1905 Count Witte, then premier of Russia, offered him a portfolio in the cabinet. Professor Miliukoff declined it because Count Witte would not outline to him the new program of the government. Pro- lessor Miliukoff insisted upon dcfi- nite policy of reconstruction and re- form before he would accept the post.

krum Lilies.

A British aviation o...cer, who did air service in East Africa, included in one of his reports graphic description of an immense valley filled with the huge arum lilies, over which he flew somewhere in the region of Zanzibar As he passed over the valley he was 5000 feet high, but the perfume of the lilies reached his nostrils for a long distance.
 By means of his glasses he observed that the lily flowers were "as large as elephants ears" and that the whole of the valley had been monopolized by the beautiful flowers. The luxuriance of the vegetation was particularly re- markable. He learned later that the scent of the flowers was so overpower- ing in the valley that no native had ever dared to penetrate within its bor- lers

chaoo Indians of Brazil.

The Indians of the Chaco region in Brazil have been more successful in opposing inroads by white men thalL have any other people of South Amer lea. Up to few years ago 1t meant annihilation for the white man to op- pose the Chaco Indians. It Is in this region that the rhea, or South Ameri- can ostrich, is found. The hunters have been after them for years for their plumes. The Indians are fond of the flesh, also of the eggs, which are a little strong. Incidentally, the Indians are not at all particular whether the eggs are fresh. The biggest nest found by explorers contained thlrty-seyen eggs, one of which is ample to supply the needs of hungry family.

Burninu Up Wealth,

Who can tell how extensively our preventable fires count in the cost of liying2 In the United States there Is fire for every minute of the year. The daily destruction of $6o0OOO means an economic drain that affects all busi- ness life and all domestic life. When a grain elevator burns, with a loss of 100000 bushels of corn and 100000 bushels of oats, or a fire in a storage warehouse destroys whole trainloads of potatoes, it is easy to see what it means. But every fire affects the cost of all commodities, although the effect, like many of our taxes, may be ob- scure.-Youth's Companion.

 The farmer occupies the center of the stage today. I saw a picture the other day that thrilled me. It was nothing but a great multitude of hands upreached, hands of every kind, chil- dren, young people, old, all outreached Tor food. What vision 1t brings to us today "A world hungry waiting to be fe1 by the farmer" !" The center of interest today is the part we are re. minded as never before that the greatest weapon of this war is in the farmers hands. Food ouuranks the sword today. The farmer is the soldier. His task dull, obscure, monotonous and hard, is the great patriotic work. There is great anxiety in the cities today; will the farmer respond to call? Yes they have already and new meaning to old war song "Many are the backs that are weary tonight blowing, sowing, be- cause it is no easy work on the farm. But remember you make all of life possible.
