CENTRAL CREWS
EAT MORE FISH
Buy Eight to Ten Tons Month for Use
on Other Railroad
Division.

While only a small amount of fish
is consumed on this division of the
railroad, between eight and ten tons
of fresh are being bought by the com
mission monthly on u contract with
w. f. Ludy for the central division
The fish are being used in place of
so much meat, and proving a very sat
isfactory substitute.
The advantage of fish, as pointed
out by Walter belong, storekeeper,
is that it is delivered here fresh from
nearby waters, it has as much nour-
ishment as meat, without being as
heavy a food, and it is obtainable at
a saving of seven cents a pound on
the price of beef and pork.
The fish now being supplied are
mostly salmon and halibut. These are
distributed to all the camps operated
by the commission and are reported
satisfactory in every case.

"Take the STEP"

A story is told of a rivlval held In q

national capital. A man of mark in

so long a vestryman in one of the old,
est of the churches, was interested in
the work of the evangelist and attend,
ed the services. He was impressed
by the earnestness of the preacher and
his good faith. One night when the
mourners were called this godly men

by converted bartender and urged /:
"ColOnel-take the step" The very

been blamed for feeling just a bit
embarrassed by the plea of the con-

SCENE OF NATURAL BEAUTY
Setting Of Montmoreney Falls Near
Quebec Resembles the Imaginative
Conception Of an Artist.

The impressiveness of any bit Of
scenery depends not on how large
1t looks. Thus there are few persons
who would estimate the width of the
Grand canyon at more than q tenth
Of what it actually is. Niagara falls,
when seen at distance, is not i'm
pressive, and when you are close to
1t you cannot get complete view.
1t is for this reason that many of
the smaller bits of scenery really give
more pleasure to persons who have an
eye for natural beauty. Mpntmorency
falls, on the river of that name a few
miles from Quebec, is an excellent ex-
ample Of this fact. II consists of a
stream about 40 feet wide dropping
somewhat more than 200 feet over a
sheer cliff just above the juncture of
the MOntmorency and the st. Law
renee. This cliff forms part of high
amphitheater of rock, its jagged out
lines crowned by forest of juniper
and spruce, and opening upon the wide
blue expanse Of the st. Lawrence
Above the falls the stream is known
as the Fairy river because of the weird
beauty of its dark waters, which wind
between sheer granite walls festooned
with very old, gnarled trees. 1t seems
more like some artists imaginative
conception than a work of nature.

Peanuts for consumptives.

A diet Of peanuts is suggested as a
cure for consumption by DIR. Brewer
in the Journal Of Hygiene. This seems
too simple to be true, but Doctor Brew
er tells of two young women who had
grown sick Of cod-liver oil and tones
and who were treated by him with salt
ed peanuts-all they could eat--cOm-
bined with inhalatlons Of vinegar.
"One would think this very indi-
gestible diet" he writes, "but they
craved them, and it has always been
my policy TO find out just what my pa
tients desire to eat, and unless it is too
unreasonable, 1 humor them. Both
young ladies' have become plump, and
after one years inhalation have ceased
coughing, and l pronounced them
cured"
Peanuts are recommended also for
sleep essness.

TEST OF THE "WELL READ
One Qualifying for This Title Is Not
Necessarily Of the Book
worm Type.

Persons who like to think that they
are entitled to be classified as "well
read" ought to check up on themselves
every once in a while, because the re-
quirements are constantly increasing,
and the well-read man Of few years
ago is the back number of today. Once
there was time when a fair degree
Of intimacy with Shakespeare and the
Bible was the only requirement, but
that is not the case any more.
For checking up purposes an admir-
able document is the examination for
prospective library workers given In
this city recently, says the Spokane
Review. Anybody who can answer
correctly all the questions in that ex-
animation would be indisputably well
read. A few errors might be allowed
but not many, for 1t is a fair exami-
nation and a comprehensive one. One
is supposed to know at least one name
Of author or work, from the great lit
eratures from the Hindu to modern
times. One name from each period
ought to stick TO the least retentive
memory. One ought also to be able to
name the authors Of selected list Of
familiar works, even though the list
takes In representatives from SOUL
livers Travels" to Man and Super
man."
To drive home the idea that the we'll
read mind is not necessarily the book
worm type the literary examination
reaches into the field of general infor-
nation and takes in vers libre, femi-
nism, watchful waiting, the city man
ager plan, somewhere in France" d.
rect primaries, Colonia Dublan, single
tax, aviation, Verdun, submarine war
fare, genre painting and Steptoe butte.
How many of the "well read" could
pass the examination? The percent
age of failures probably would be sur
prising, even to the participants.

Men were hurrying here and there

each section swung quaint little era
