that Misses Eva Partridge, Vivian

Is skunk hunting business or sport
The Indiana game wardens say it is
sport, and consequently that it's illegal
to use ferrets in it, but the hunters say
it's business. II would seem they ought
TO know.
Maybe after all it is true that the war
is making everybody better. Hoboes
along the Missouri Pacific railroad are
using the old caves of the cliff dwellers
for winter caravanserai despite the fact
that lots OF the caves have free warm
spring baths in them.

Gold was known from the earliest his

chapter of Judges, in connection with

that the relation is purely natural, in
that crops showing preference for Ger

easily be supplied by man the problem is

FRENCH CITIES ENRICHED.
BY War Operation of the Allied French
and British Armies.

Paris, Feb. 6-The formidable traffic
in connection with the army has en-
riched cities like Havre, Rouen, Boulogne
Calais and Amiens, where the British
have made heavy expenditures, and cit
les like Bordeaux, Lyons and Marseilles,
where the needs of the French and allied
armies have given rise to the most in
tense industrial and commercial move
ment.
Other cities and a great many small
towns situated so as to contribute to
the great effort have also gained i'm
mensely. In all these places the circu-
lation of money exceeds the most ex-
travagant anticipations and gives to the
superficial observer the impression of
increa sed wealth. More money is spent
in night in Marseilles than was ever
spent in week before the war, The
same is not true of the other warren
ridhed cities because of the restriction
of opportunities for outlay upon amuse-
ments and distractions.
Money is more plentiful in Paris than
ever, though, excepting in certain popu-
lar restaurants, it finds less opportuni-
ty than in Marseilles to make show
for itself.
The great abundance of circulating
medium. however, may be traced to the
issue of ten billion francs additional
paper money by the Bank of France
since 1913, that represents nothing but
promise of the Bank of France; prom
Use that will eventually be changed into
debt for future generations to pay.

PAN-AMERICA

South America with Presi-

NOT A SINGLE
DISSENTING NOTE
Deputy Advises a
Break Only as a Last
Resort

Washington, Feb. 6.-Realization Of
Pan-America at last in near future
of troublous times is forecast by Bra
lillian newspaper of Rio Janero. To-
gether with the press of all South Amer
lea this paper supports the United States
in its reply to the German announcement
of unrestricted naval warfare. In Bra
I'll, in Chile, in Argentina, sentiment ap.
pears to be unanimous that the United
States has voiced the principles for
which the nations of the western hemi-
sphere stand. Abroad the neutral ma
tions are equally opposed to what is
termed the insolence of the German pro-
posals. Spain was expected to make
public yesterday note to Germany pro-
testing at the plans for unrestricted sub.
marine operations. A deputy and Re-
publican leader of Barcelona says Spain
should keep representative in Berlin
as long as possible if only to record the
outrages that Germany apparently is
preparing. Swiss opinion, as expressed
by one newspaper, is that while there
should be league of European neutrals
to shorten the war such a group is not
to be expected in the immediate future.

BLIZZARD STRIKES NEW YORK.
Worst Storm This Winter-Traffic De.
layed.

New York, Feb. 6--The worst storm
thus far this winter struck New York
during the night and was at its height
yesterday forenoon. The snow fall Of
about three inches was lighter than dur.
ing previous storms. but a northwest
wind blowing fiftytwo miles an hour
churned the drifts into snow-gales and
the weather bureau called it a blizzard.
A severe cold wave is expected.
Trains into New York were delayed
for hours, Officials said the storm struck
hardest between Cleveland and Buffalo,
where below zero temperatures and lake
gales hampered operations. The situa-
ton would improve during the day, Off
Gals expected.
On the New Haven lines passenger
trains were running virtually on time, it
was stated, with freight service slightly
affected.

Sick Headache.

1t has often been remarked that the
distressing complaint of sick headache is
the result of eating too much and exer-
eising too little. In the majority of cases
its cause lies in the fact that the food
last taken is so rich in quality or SO ex-
cessive in quantity that the stomach can
not digest it.
A simple diet on grains and ripe fruit,
with sufficient exercise in the open air
to keep up a gentle perspiration, would
speedily effect cure.
With some persons this headache comes
on at regular intervals, and is the stom-
ach's signal of distress at having been
imposed upon. To take two teaspoon
fuls of powdered charcoal in a glass half
full of water will sometimes give relief,
or tablespoonful of lemon juice Is min
utes before each meal, and the same at
bedtime.
Many an attack has been warded off
by freely drinking hot water. But bet
ter than all these is the ounce of pre-
vention" found in abstaining from tea
and coffee, rich gravies, pastry and cakes
in short, in living as every rational be-
ing ought to live.

fragrance OF the summer bloom have not
really heard the call OF the countryside.
J There is nothing SO interesting, so eX-
/ hilarating, and so romantic as a good
sharp winter walk along the pretty wind
! ing lanes or the broad high roads. In
these modern days of privileges there is
| hardly anyone who has not the opportu-
Z, nifty of at least one afternoon walk each
week.
! A good pair of boots, heavy warm
coat, hat suitable for the occasion, and
pair of knitted gloves you will find all
that is necessary for the enjoyment of
the country walk You will need neither
friend nor book the whole of nature will
seem TO be in communion with you, says
the Irish World. On every hand you will
find something of interest. The trees
and fields will appear as beautiful as
when they are heavy with verdant TO-
liage. The hills and mountains, with
their snow-capped peaks, will appeal to
you with fascination that all the lux
uries of summer fail to do, and you will
find yourself saying with the poet By
ron:
away, We landscapes, We gardens of
roses!
Through you let the minions of luxury
rove"
You viii realize how majestic and inn
pressive is nature wrapped in the death
clothes of nature awaiting the resurrec
ton of spring.
Then, again, not only will your interest
be quickened, but as you tramp along
with measured gait, you will find the
sharpness of air against your face and
the blood pulsating through your veins
bringing to your face the color which all
the devices of the chemists cosmetics
failed to achieve.
As the twilight begins to fall with its
wintery mist, and you turn your foot
steps towards home, you may possibly
be favored with view of winter sunset
beside the snow-covered hills. How glo-
rious! And yet how few people will
avail themselves of the winter country
walks.
Even those of us who are confined to
the brick and mortar of the great cities
can still enjoy to some degree stroll in
tHe SUNSET. TOT copper VI Two our :
electric cars viii carry us to the out I
skirts of Suburbia and although perhaps
we cannot altogether lose sight of the /
hand of man, we can find the open field,
the country lane, and the clear, fresh air.
Ii rain threatens one need not neces-
sarily be deferred from venturing out on
this account. Let rainproof coat SUI
persede the great coat and you will find
there is still any amount of enjoyment
to be obtained. Indeed, many people
revel in the charms of walk when the
rain is running in little rivulets along
the wayside, dripping from the trees and
down the hedges. Every gust
Of wind striking against the trees send
a spray OF water against your face,
which is as refreshing as the keen air of
| frosty night.
Then when you arrive home and have
hanged your clothes, as you enjoy your
up of hot tea, you feel that even walk
when the elements leave much to be de-
iired is an enjoyment you viii repeat be-
ore very long.
