Camouhaue.

A remarkable Interpretation of the
British national characteristic reserve,
appears in the Century, entitled
Camoufage. It Is the story Of two
young people on the eve Of the hus-
bands going to battle.
''For the benefit Of those who may
not be acquainted with what camou-
f1age means, it might be truthfully de-
scribed as thin veil drawn over great
events.
There are endless varieties of
camouf1age, and endless uses to which
it may be put. A great white road is
concealed from the enemy's lines by
a hedge Of thinly plated twigs-camou-
fage. An observation point hidden in
the heart of haystack-camouflage.
A mighty gun masked by an awning
Of f1shermen's nets, sprinkled with
dead leaves-camouflage. A corpse
brought in from no-man's land and re-
placed by live man, who watches
what is toward in the Huntrenches-
again camoutlage. But, perhaps, the
subtlest variety Of all is the. kind that
men and women devise to screen their
real emotions from one another and the
world"

Cutting Makes the Hair Grow.

According to DR.. William Allen Pus-
sey, the hair grows half an inch a
month until it reaches it's natural
length. With men the natural length is
from eight to twelve inches. With
women it grows anywhere from eight
cen inches to their heels.
The hair grows faster in summer
than in winter because Of the greater
activity Of the skin in warm weather.
The hair also grows faster when cut off.
The reason for this is based upon the
general principle that whenever tissue
is called upon to make up deficit it
generally comes to the rescue with
added energy. If you cut off your hair
there is the stimulus Of increased de-
mand placed upon nature to make your
hair reach its natural length.

The greatest socialist demonstration
ever seen in Scandinavia took place;
throughout Sweden on May day. The
monstration was brought to- peace
ful conclusion, although the result had
been anticipated with: anxiety and
nervousness. Great crowds assembled
In the streets of Stockholm, carrying
banners with inscriptions demanding
more food. Hundreds of children with
peace banners participated, and order
was maintained by special police ap-
pointed by the workers. The parade
was headed by Hjalmar Branting, the
Swedish socialist leader; PETER Troel-
stra, head of the socialist interna-
tional bureau, and Camille Huysmans,
secretary. The enormous crowd sang
the "Marseillaise" and the "Interna-
tionale." At the Stockholm mass
meeting, in which $1,000 persons par
-ticipated, resolution was adopted
which concluded with an Endorsement
Of an eight-hour day, revision of the
constitution, and peace on socialistic
terms.
Herman Lagercrantz, former Swe-
dish minister to Washington, is on his
way to the United States al special en-
voy. His appointment is in conse-
quence of the fear in Sweden that the
United States may place an embargo
on exports to this country. M. Lager
crantz consented to 60 to America on
the personal solicitation Of King Gus

been for years. The former minister

The Swedish government will ask
the riksdag to adopt the proposed law
establishing compulsory civilian serv-
Ice for males and females between
the ages of fifteen and sixty. A
memorial accompanying the proposed
laws points out the necessity of the

to organize and compel certain kinds
Of work being done, especially in all
things concerning necessaries of life.
A particularly pressing need. of. the

white soap in a dish and dissolve with
a gallon of hot water; to this add 10
cents worth of salts of tartar. This
forms a soft paste. When cold put a
handful Of paste on carpet and with a
scrub brush scrub this we'll into the

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT HAP.

NORTHLAND. So -
items FROM THE OLD HOME
Resume Of the Most Important Events
in Sweden, Norway and Denmark
OF Interest to the Scandinavians
in America. -.

At present the Scandinavian coun-
tries are dependent upon imports of
food products from America. If Swe-
den, Norway and Denmark had not
had a surplus of food stored up for I'M
Expected events they would already
have been in the grasp of a real fam
ine. But this surplus is now exhaust
led, which means that the Scandinavian
kountries are dependent on the Ameri-
lean market for their very existence
more than ever before. The eyes Of
Fhe three Scandinavian governments
are open to the dangerous possibili-
tiles Of the future. The food problem
lis closely connected with the coal
shortage IN these countries. It is true
that Great Britain allows Scandi-
pavian steamers to coal in her har-
bors and to take in cargoes of coal des-
tined to their home countries, but only
pn certain terms. They must, for in
stance, make certain number of So
called "War trips" in allied service,
mostly to France, before they are al
flowed to get coal, even for their own
use. This system naturally delays the
transport to the Scandinavian coun-
tries, not only Of coal, but also Of food
Etuffs. To this difficulty must be fur
ther ADDED the dangers from Ger
Pnan submarines, especially in the
NORTH sea, which up to this time has
prevented Sweden and Denmark from
resuming the sailings Of their ships be-
tween Sweden and Danish ports and
ports in Great Britain" This suspen-
elon OF sailings has been considered
10y the allies as an unfriendly act and
Pesulted in British order in coun-
cll to hold all Swedish and Danish
ships in British ports until the North
sea traffic has been resumed and other
British demands accepted. Sweden has
also been asked to remove the mines
IN the Kogrund channel in Oeresund,
thus making it possible for allied ships
still in Baltic ports to reach British
|harbors and help to relieve the pres
ent shortage of tonnage. The Swedish
government has refused to submit to
this demand. This explains why the
SWedish-American liner Stockholm
has been held in Halifax, N. s., for the
last two months, and why the Scandi-
navian-American line has not yet re-
sumed sailings between Copenhagen
and New York. Norway has capitu-
Hated before the British demands, and
the ban on Norwegian shipping has
therefore been lifted, although not
completely.

Apaches Demand and Are Given
-. Plenty Of Room. &.
Tribe. Which Was Once Known az
Worst in Country Still Refuses to
j. Take Up Real Farming.

OF all the wards of Uncle Sam,
none enjoyed a worse reputation nor
better deserved one, than the Apache
Indians of the Southwest SO years ago.
They terrOrized the Mexicans, robbed
the wagon trains in the Santa Fe trail,
made the frontiersman's life miserable,
caused the patient. troopers of the reg.
ular army to plod and struggle. over
countless miles Of hot sand and blue
lava on their trail, and as soon as they
were fairly beaten and settled down
they broke out in new place. Today
their country is given over to the
farmer and the flivver, and what re-
mains of the tribe occupies spacious
reservation in northwestern New Mex
leo, says the Buffalo News.
The reservation is spacious, because
the Apache needs plenty Of room. It
contains little besides space, because
that is the kind of land that suits him:
and, luckily for him, has little attrac-
lion for anybody else. The Apache's
idea of small one-man homestead
would run anywhere from thousand
acres up. He does not 60 in for in
tenave cultivation. He plants a little
corn here and there, and he harvests
wild hay wherever it chances to grow
thickly enough to make the process
worth while, but real farming is in
compatible with his idea of the dignity
Of man and an Indian.
The boundaries of the reservation
are not visible to the naked eye, so
that if you chance to be travelling in
the neighborhood you may easily stray
over the Apache's hearth and home
without finding it out. The owner,
however, will inform you of the fact
with great vigor, if he chances to find
you. On the other hand, you may travel
on Apache land for weeks and never
meet a soul. The reservation comprises
hundreds Of square miles, and the In
dams are true nomads, wandering
from place to place as the fancy.
SEXES.
The reservation is a land Of rolling
hills, with few stubby mountain
ranges, and share Of barren plain.
Most Of the country is fertile enough,
especially the hill land, but the Indian
makes no attempt to realize on it's fer
Utility. At least, he is doing nothing to
exhaust the soil, and should his race
or another ever come to farm it they
Will find earth as virgin as that Of the
western prairies hundred years ago.

For Diphtheria.

A. recent issue of the Indianapolis
Medical Journal contains an article
suggesting the use Of fresh buttermilk
as q gargle for diphtheria. Another
method is to use a swab with butter
milk, perhaps for the reason that some
persons cannot gargle. A practitioner
gives his experience in nine cases
where the plain buttermilk was used
five or. ak times day. He believes
that the diphtheria organisms wers
displaced entirely after three days.

NORWAY.

way is alarming. Thousands Of work.
ing people have already lost their jobs
because the shortage Of coal makes it
necessary to reduce the production Of
the industrial plants. Without suffi-
cient funds to meet the increased
prices on the daily necessities of food
these people, without jobs, the number
of whom is rapidly increasing, will
soon be subjected to a real famine.
Only an increased export from the
United States can save Norway from
distress. In Christiania the commu-
nal authorities have pointed out to the
government the necessity Of taking
proper measures for feeding perhaps
hundred thousand people without
jobs during the next months. Some
schools and theaters have been closed
In order to save coal. Cooperating
with the government a combination Of
Norwegian ship owners has formed a
company with capital Of several MIL
lion dollars to import American coal
and food. At the same time negotia-
tons have been opened to get Norwe-
gian ships, which are using American
coal, exempted from 'war trips'' in al
lied service. These ships would then
be used for the transport Of food sup
plies from the United States to Nor
way. An embargo on these products
must therefore mean disas to Nor
way. The Norwegian government is
not overlooking the possibilities of in
creasing home production Of food, but
even if the maximum Of agricultural
production were reached this year, it
would not be sufficient.
The nickel refining works at Chris
tiansand were destroyed by fire. The
damage is so extensive that production
will have to be entirely discontinued,
it is said. There has been consider
able agitation in Norway recently in
favor of prohibiting export Of nickel
to Germany as a protest against the
sinking of Norwegian ships by subma-
rines. The works at Christiansand
had contract to supply their whole
output to Germany.
M. Holgersen, the owner of a bakery
in Haugesund, gave away $4,000 on
his f1ftieth birthday. The bulk Of this
money is to be used for building a
public library.
Left Gundersen, a sailing vessel be-
longing to Gundersen & Gundersen of
Porsgrund, has given it's owners divi-
dend of 200 per cent twice in the
course Of half a year. OF course they
have kept the vessel since before the
war, and the vessel itself is no doubt
worth several hundred per cent more
now than three years ago.
Selling liquor has been prohibited In
Norway for the remainder. of the war,
and lighting is being minimized to con,
serve the coal supply.

Announcement was made by the
Anaconda Copper Mining company to-
day OF it's intention to resume work at
the Neversweat mine Monday morning.
Both the day and the night shifts will
go on. The opening of this mine has
been made necessary from the fact
that there have been steady increases
in the number of men seeking employ
ment In the mines. In the last three
days more than 100 men have been
added to the payrols of the mines of
the Anaconda company in this district
The Anaconda company proposes to
resume work at the Tramway mine in
the near future. For some time a
crew has been engaged in fire proof
ing the shaft of that property. When
this is completed, which will be in
about 10 days. mining operations Will
again be started up.
