It is worth noting that the most sue.
cessful freight photographs do not
show the fire at all. The subject is ar
ranged so that the fire is screened in
some way from the lens. The mental
piece, fire-irOns, rug, etc, are included,
however, and the fire itself is suggest
ed by the lighting. On the whole this
is the best way Of doing what we
want. If we arrange things on these
lines, with the illumination proceeding
frUG the spot where the fire is sup
posed to be, we can get a true fire
light effect, although the light actu-
ally used may be electric, magnesium,
flash or ribbon, or even daylight it
self. In the last case, the b0ttan
foot Of glass in a French window may
be used, With q sheet of white paper
on the floor to serve as a reflector, and
the whole OF the rest blocked up. A
figure posed against this wifi give a
very successful freight effect.

With Interpretations.

A young and somewhat unpopular
officer was explaining to his men what
happened to a shell after it left the
gun. The comedian of the company
couldn't refrain from making remarks
In an undertone, much to the amuse-
ment of his pals. This was part OF
the lesson:
Officer-The shell on leaving the
gun, owing to the bore, goes wound
and wound.
Voce-The mulberry bush.
Oflicer-After its momentum is ex-
pended gravity draws it to the earth.

Dentists say that each year an in
creasing number of people realize that
prevention is better than cure, and
far cheaper and come frequently for
examinations which will discover small
cavities long before they cause pain or
require costly and nerve racking re
pair job. Garage men, similarly, state
that the old experienced automobile
drivers bring their cars into the shop
more often nowadays, for the tighten
ing of nut here and a minor adjust
ment which will insure longer life Of
the car and greater pleasure to the
owner.
But the physicians among whom /
have made inquiries, are not nearly SO
complimentary concerning the intel
ljgent foresight of the public as it relates
to the early discovery of beginning
diseases and disease tendencies While
client, now and then, presents him
self for voluntary examination and adj
vice, people, generally, still wait for
distressing symptoms to arise before
consulting their physical ministers and
repair men.
Students Of such chronic diseases as
tuberculosis, cancer, and Bright's dis
ease, which never cause pain in the
early stages, areconvinced that the
only hope of reducing the now appall-
ing death rate lies in early discovery
and proper treatment Such discovery
must depend upon the opportunity that
is given to skilIful physicians tomake eX-
aminatons and records which will per
nit of early notice aud correct evalua-
ton Of sight variations from the pa
tient normal state.
With early Ci scovery, these students
promise favorable results in treatment,
especially in the instance Of cancer and
tuberculosis In the instance Of the de-
generativc diseases Of the heart, arter-
les, kidneys, and nervous system, the
tendencies may frequently be overcome
and the patient be skilfully steered
away from what would otherwise be
his natural and untimely end.
Obviously, the physician cannot app
the "an ounce Of prevension is better
than pound CT cure" theory without
the full cooperation Of the patient
The saving of many lives and much
health will be accomplished when ply
sician's clients get the point Of view Of
those Of the dentists and garage men.

The Cormorant.

Milton mentioned the cOrmorant in
his poetical works and compared the
bird to Satan. The cormorant has a
habit, after diving, of perching on a
tree Or rock with outstretched wings
as Though it were hanging itself out
to dry. It will remain motionless in
this attitude for long time.
Cormorant fishing is carried on by
certain classes of the japanese at
night, and in their boats they carry
hraziers with flaming wood fires to
attract the fish. 1t has been written
that the imperial household depart
ment of Japan, in order to protect
and aid this old practice of fishing,
pays Il small yearly pension to the
professional fishers and allows them
free access to certain forests that they
may have wood to feed the fishing
fires in the braZiers,

WOMEN FOND OF SACRIFICE
Seemingly No Extremes to Which They
Will Not Go for the Husband
They Love.

Women often rush in where angels
with any kind OF judgment would fear
to go. Strong men are faint-hearted
by comparison to good-intentioned
women in their reckless dashes, usual
ly to give assistance to or throw some
protection around a man.
A case in point is that of a Califor-
MIA woman who has just offered to give
up her children and sacrifice herself
III devoted effort to make a man of
her husband, rancher. Trying to
make man of a husband is job none
but a woman in whose veins flows the
blood Of martyrs would think of. Many
women have tried it. but who knows
their names? How many have any
thing better than the frayed and tat
tered remnant of lifetime wasted in
endeaVOr to make a miracle one of the
routine duties Of domesticity? Only
the woman with the sacrificing in
stinct cultivated to the precipice Of
genius tries it.
1t he is not up to the lowest limit of
tolerance-a common Weight-by the
time he is-oh, whatever age he hap
pens to be when she has him thrown
on her hands-she may as we'll make
up her mind to take him as he is If
nature, through the centuries during
which men have been evolving, could
not do better with him than what she
sees has been done, why should one
lone woman hope TO take it up there
and make him into man? Yet here
is q woman who has lived with him
long enough to be convinced offering
to give up her children for one more
chance to turn husband into q man
before she acknowledges defeat.
1t is not alone great military men
who don't know when they're beaten.

THE TRIALS OF EARLY
WISCONSIN PRINTERS

A recent letter to the State Histori-
cal Society tells how the publishing
business was conducted by one of the
first editors of Fort Atkinson: "My
father commenced to learn the print
er's trade in CORTLAND, N. Y, where
they had a Ramage (wooden) press
and the linking was done with balls or
pads. The first roller was a piece of
buckskin glued onto round stick. He
lived to see a Webb press run, but al
ways said they would never set type
by machinery" Much more about the
methods of printing in early Wisconsin
can be learned from an article publish
ed by the State Historical Society some
years ago. The first printing ever
done in Wisconsin was job of lottery
tickets, struck off at Green Bay. The
equipment consisted of "a handful of
old BREWER and an ounce or two Of
printers ink. A bit of pewter furnish
ed the means of kind of border for
the bill; an oak log sawed off and made
smooth at an end furnished the stone. "
The second press in the state was
home-constructed at Kenosha in 1886,
and consisted of a wooden box set on a
stump.

In ancient times garlands and bou-
Guets Of the mistletoe were hung in
,Averns and doorways to ward off evil,
end by many worn as an amulet at
tracing good influences. This aver
sion doubtless sprang from q Christian
prejudice against a plant deemed sa-
cred by the pagans, a legend Of the
monks holding that the mistletOe bOugh

to grow as an Independent growth,

THE KIND or DYNA-
MITE FOB FARM WORE

One of the good results of the land
clearing demonstrations conducted thru
upper Wisconsin by the college of agri-
culture was the establishment of the
fact that the cheaper 20 per cent dyna-
mite is as effective, pound for pound,
as the costlier grades. 1t may be said
further that the 20 per cent grade lifts
the stumps with less breakage of the
roots than the other grades. The rep
resentatives of the university recon-
mend the 20 per cent for stump removal
and there is material saving in cost
All grades are available in the 1917 land
clearing campaign, but the 20 per cent
is recommended.

Bio Increase in Land Values

Wisconsin land has nearly doubled
in value, on an average acreage basis,
in the last ten years, according to fig
ures on land sales and assessments COM
piled by the Wisconsin Tax Commission.
Enormous increases in prices are record
ed for the counties in which the richest
farming land lies, while there are sub
stantial increases in many of the north
ern counties where land a decade ago
was practically undeveloped. Iron
county lands show the greatest increase
in value of any of the northern coun-
ties in the past ten years, an increase
Of practically 200 percent. In 1906 Iron
county lands were valued per acre at
SO. 81; in 1911 it was $13 95, and in 1916
the land per acre had reached a value
of $29 So Only one county in the
state, Villas, records an average decrease
where in 1906 the average value was
S13. 81 per acre; this dropped to $1l.42,
in 1911 and increased to $l2 Oh in 1916.
The average value Of land in the entire
state during the same periods was as
follows: 1906, $34. 10: 1911, $44 20; 1916,
$50. Sc.

Two years ago we took an order for

at contract price of $768,0O0, to be
delivered within a certain time or we
had to pay a large penalty.
The only specifications for making
these shells are that they shall he
of a certain size and must pierce
armor-plate at a certain velocity on i'm
pact. 1t is impossible to foretell the
exact conditions of the tests.
We had made large quantities or shells
in the past which had been accepted

the tested shells must pierce armor
