Russian Change peIiahts England.

l. F.Marcosson in Everybody's: The
revolution has made a tremendous inn
preston in England. Before it hap
pened more than one Briton SHE'D at
manifesting any delight over declar-
ing himself an ally of Russia. Like
most of his brothers in many neutral
lands, he felt that Russia was a joker
in the great game being played for
world freedom. Now that the shack
les have fallen, the Slav mammoth be-
comes a vital factor in a war of liberia
ton. He incarnates liberation itself
The one Earring note in the whole
allied protest against Teutonic agrees
sion Is now silent.
These, then, are the outstanding
facts one week after the curtain was
lifted from the fateful Russian silence.
That silence was like the last dark
hour before the dawn. Not even the
outbreak of the war has SO startled
Europe. The war was expected; the
revolution was a thunderclap. Every
where it is acclaimed.
can give no more striking evidence
Of the way the news is received than
to quote one of the most eminent OF
British statesmen, who said If the war
had only produced the Russian revolu-
ton it would have been worth all its
cost in blood and treasure.
Lloyd George expressed the general
allied view when he said: 81 believe
that the revolution whereby the Rus
sian people have based their destinies
on the sure foundation of freedom is
the greatest service which they have
yet made to the cause for which the
allied peoples have been fighting since
August, 1914. 1t reveals the funda-
mental truth that this war is at bot
tom a struggle for popular govern
ment as we'll as for liberty"

Mystery of Bird Flight.

A curious fact concerning birds is
that the tip of the wing moves at prac-
tically the same speed In every species.
This is $50 feet per minute, or nearly
seven and a half miles per hour.
Whether it is the tiny wren or the huge
stork, the rule holds good, and even the
bee comes within it. Thus the bee has
a wing only quarter of an inch long,
the sparrow's wing Is four inches and
the stork's twenty-seven. But the bees
wing beats Il 400 times in a minute.
the sparrow's T20 and the stOrk's only
f05 times. If you multiply together the
length of the wing and the number Of
beats you will get almost exactly the
same result in the three cases namely,
stork, 2,S35; bee, 2,8J0; sparrow, 1850.
But If ever a machine is made to fly
like a bird it will have to develop far
more energy than these figures stand
for. A birds energy of flight is not go
great as Is supposed. Although such
skiIlful fiers when aloft, many birds
cannot rise from level ground.-London

The Tobacco Habit.

Ii a man who uses tobacco will give
it up for one day each week he wiz
keep himself from becoming tobacco
fiend." This is the advice of a well
known doctor, who says that quite a
number of men, including himself, have
adopted this plan
"By leaving off tobacco for one day a
week you give your system time to get
rid of the effects of the drug" he said.
''You will then enjoy your tobacco far
more, too, because you have become
unaccustomed to the flavor, and it is
therefore more enjoyable when you re
sumo smoking.
"The effect of tobacco is a general
sedative action on the nervous system,
which diminishes the power of taste
and smell That is why tea tasters sell
dom or never smoke.
Leave it off for day and the sense
Of taste recovers. Not only that, but
leaving off tobacco for one day volunta-
rily breaks the tobacco habit, exercises
the self control and prevents one from
becoming a slave to the habit"

Berlin, Aug. 13.-A semi-official
paper, the Nordeutsche Algemeine

former United States ambassador to
Germany, to have been sent by En-
peror William to President Wilson in
August, 1914, when the emperor is
quoted as having said Belgium's neu-

alleged telegram, which has reached
Berlin via Switzerland, has the en-

him word through the emperor's
brother, Prince Henry, that England
would remain neutral if war broke
out on the continent involving Ger

Toll of the Garbage Can.

We hear a great deal Of complain
ing, far and near, about the high cost
of living.
1t has been statistically estimated
that If only one slice Of bread was
wasted by one family every day the
aggregate weight Of this wasted bread
would equal 625, 900 pounds and would
cost approximately $4,000.
Just think of thatl Forty-fiye thou
sand dollars worth of bread alone vast
ed in one day. And that does not In
clude the other odds and ends that are
daily dumped into the garbage pail.
No woman with an iota Of inteli
gence and a speck Of moral conscience
will waste unnecessarily food OF any
kind.
No matter what her circumstances
may be, whether rich or poor, she has
absolutely no right to do so.-NeV

from the same distance as our sun 1t
