Wonders of a Mirage.

The published statement of the ex-
plorer Donald B. Mcmillan that the
Arctic land mass which Admiral Peary
reported and named Croker Land was
but mirage has stirred new interest
In this strange phenomenon, which can
deceive an experienced observer into
the belief that he sees plains and noun
tains where there Is nothing but few
clouds. The mirage is due to the ap-
pearance Of small objects seen through
layers Of air at different temperatures,
which bend the rays of light and dis
tort the image, much as the image Of
a pencil half submerged in water is
distorted. A typical mirage is often
seen in the deserts Of the southwest,
where 1t becomes quite cool at night,
and the sun brings sudden change in
the morning, SO that temperature lay
ers are created. AS result small
bushes appear as great trees, with
their doubles below them, as though
mirrored in still water. 1t was simi-
lar phenomenon which magnified a
cloud bank to look like a continent.

Campaign for Improvement
Of Health Among People of
Rural Districts Is Started.

One of the most important conser-
walton campaigns undertaken in the
United States is that started by the
committee on health problems of the
National Council of Education, under
the guidance of DR.. Thomas D. Wood.
professor of physical education In
Teachers college, Columbia -univer-
sity. The campaign has for it's pur-
pose the improvement of health in the
rural districts of the country.
After careful investigation, Doctor
Wood has found country school chill
dren less healthy, on the average, than
city children. The reasons he believes
to be largely found in careless disposal
of waste matter in the country, in con-
taminated water, In insufficient venti-
lation, in unbalanced rations, and in
failure to have children examined by
physicians and dentists
Doctor Wood and his committee
purpose to remedy these conditions
| through a campaign of education in
the rural schools. The Improvement
of conditions will be accomplished
through pointing out just what is
wrong with present modes of living.
In the cities health regulations have
been enforced largely through police
power, and are still evaded by some,
who do not realize the Importance Of
sanitary conditions. In the country,
thinly settled as 1t is, the careful en-
forcement of minute regulations would
be impossible. Improvement there will
| come through education, and improve
ment based on education is much
more settled. more beneficial matter
than improvement based on law.

FOODSTUFF
in WAR TIME

Commissioner Of Health Of PennsyI.

Commissioner Of Health Of PennsyI.
vania.
Food makes the sinew of war.
During the activities of a war such
as the world is now experiencing, mil.
lions of men and women are engaged
In manufacturing munitions for every
requisite Of warfare, both on land and
water.
Food supplies the very sinew of war,
therefore, the guarding Of meat, milk,
vegetables and grain becomes one of
our imperative measures Of defense.
These essentials will have to be
looked after to supply those active at
the front and those guarding the great
treasures Of our republic.
Unfortunately, at the present maybe
more than ever before in the history
Of the world, our people are restless
and demand to be entertained. They
do not today, as much as in former
times, make their daily occupations
their play. For this reason they flock
to the centers of population to be
ampsed by various forms of entertain
ment. This rObs the farms and gar
dens of our country, which we can
Ill afford at such time as this.
With these conditions staring us in
the face, our attention is turned to q
serious condition which threatens ma
ton that may be long engaged in ac-
tive warfare. No one can guess the
length of time the United States Of
America will be involved in protect
ing herself from foreign interference
with her national rights. Today, there
fore, is the time to begin to economize
In the use of fOodstuffs.
Gardening and farming furnish
health and profitable activities for
women. If many idle women, and
those who engage in sports Of vari-
GUS kinds simply to pass away the
time, should become active and spend
their time in some useful occupation,
such as gardening, it might be more
prohtable to them physically, mentally
and morally, and Of inestimable value
to their country.
This is the time of all times for the
leaders of society who are influential,
to induce all those engaged in frivol-
Gus habits to make gardening and
farming fashionable.
Competitive farming and gardening
by women would help to maintain
their health, and in many cases make
the weak strong. With better health
they would find the burdens of life be-
coming lighter and the nation would
become stronger.

When the bootlegger left, two hours
later Holmes had made his bargain.
"Its risky business for me-" said
Dill. 'It'l be federal prison IL I'm
caught-selling whisky to Indians"
"Then don't get caught" rasped the
big woodsman-"that is up to you"
Holmes scheme for the tricking of
the Indians worked out as he had
planned. Early next morning Dill rode
into the Klamath village, his saddle
bags bursting with cOntraband. By
noon every Indian was gloriously
drunk and no hand stayed their revels.
since Sleepy Dog had gone to Portland.
Within an hour the transfer Holmes
had prepared was signed by every
adult Indian with McClintock and Dill
for witnesses.
'rNow Mac" said Holmes, as they
skunk from the village-"this land is
legally mine. Well begin cutting to-
morrow. Burn this sinking village
before you start the cut"
The same day Holmes sent a tele-
gram to Henry Marston at the offices
of the Northern Land & Lumber COM
pany in Seattle:
"Astonished at intimation per your
letter that 1 will be unable to fulfil
terms Of contract. Twenty million
feet will be delivered your Port Jeffer-
son mill by thirteenth, prox., as agreed.
Can you use ten million more at same
price?"
Some hours later he received an
answer:
"What will you take for the boom
rights on the Calapooia?"
To which Holmes replied:
Thousand shares Northern Land &
Lumber company stock and seat on
directorate"
With ill-concealed impatience he
awaited Marston's reply. It was brief
and to the point:
"All right, come and see me-"
He had won.
1t was the end of the week before
Sleepy Dog completed his business
with the official head of the depart
ment of Indian affairs, whom he had
gone to Portland to see.
AS the chief drew near home he was
paralyzed with horror. The village
was gone.
And just then Holmes emerged from
the forest. He stood with folded arms
surveying the old Indian, sardonic
grin upon his lips.
Holmes" said Sleepy Dog, without
heat, "you ID t'ief."
At that the fierce temper of the lum-
herman broke loose. His right fist shot
foreward in sledgehammer blow. 1t

ExTERNALS
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

The Externals of life are but
the Eye Hobbies of transient
Humans. So that whatever
counts with the Eye today will
have little standing with the
Soul tomorrow. For Character
is the only thing that is really
permanent. And
Character grows from Within.
The very experience of the
Universe pays daily tribute to
this fact. The inspirers Of our
Race and Time were men and
women who sought eagerly for
the things that endured-in
Character and great Works. For
the Externals they had neither
time nor desire. They started
to build from the Foundation
truth that
Character grows from Within.
Are you troubled or worried
or made envious by the Exter-
nails? Does selfish Pleasure at
tract you? Are you held in the
fascination that extravagant dis
play of Dress, Money, KnOwl-
edge, or Social or Public Power
many times affords? Smile and
be happy in the knowledge that
more than these may be easily
yours, and that for YOU
Character grows from Within.

jaw and he went down like a pole
axed steer. In frenzy Of demoniac
rage Holmes dragged the body to the
river edge and tossed 1t hundred
feet to the rocks below, where 1t lay
In widening pool Of crimson.
Virginia Holmes, though she had not
been able to overhear the conversation
between Sleepy Dog and her husband,
had witnessed every detail of the
tragedy. Her decision was quickly
taken. She must cross the log jam to
reach the other side Of the swollen
Calapooia and safety with friends.
Carrying her child she stole through
the trees like a ghost.
Near the jam, but screened by clump
Of trees from a momentarily awaited
explosion, stood Holmes and McClin-
took. Suddenly the latter uttered a
hoarse shout Of horror.
"Guid Godl" he cried. 'It's the
meesis and, she has her BARN! Stop
her! For Gods sake. men, stop her,
or twill be too late"
'Leave her alone, D. her! II
she wants to get killed let her. It'll
be small loss" snarled Holmes.
'It's your ain wife-your own wee
BARN, mon!" gasped the Scot. they're
goin' to their deaths"
"Let them," said Rupert Holmes,
grimly.
Boom!
To the hypnotized watchers on the
shore there came the dull rumble of an
explosion followed instantly by the
crush Of rending timbers. The jam
had broken. while Virginia and her
child were but half way over.
A moment later they saw her come
to the surface-saw her throw her free
arm over a log and raise her baby
upon It. An instant later both were
lost to sight in the angry drive of the
torrent.
