Learn to Use Both Hands.

So far as many Of the victims OF
the war are concerned, 1t would GER
tainly seem that ambidexterity would
have been a blessing, remarks thei
Medical Record. A man who can use,
both hands in his work Is much less
helpless when he Is disabled than one
who can use only his right hand.
When man has been bereft of his
right arm and has to earn his living.
the question Is raised in the vocation-
al homes whether to fit him with an
artificial hand and teach him to use
this or train him In the use of his left
hand. A great deal of success has
been attained already In the training
of disabled soldiers In the use of the
left hand, and unless the objections
brought against this can be sustained
by more conclusive evidence than any
that has yet been brought forward it
would seem to be decidedly preferable
In the majority of cases to train the
left hand than to make the cripple de-
pendent upon an artificial hand.

AMAZING is VOGUE OF GOLF
Many Americans Now Play Game Un-
known to Them Twenty-Five
Years Ago.

Twenty-Five years ago there was as
much golf played in the United States
as there is baseball played in the cen.
trail villages of the Fill Islands. Which
is to say, practically none whatsoever,
writes Grantland Rice in the New York
Tribune.
Yet facing 1917 there are 5000 golf
courses, covering more than 100000
acres, inhabited by something like 9OO,-
900 players of both sexes, from twelve
to eighty years OF age. In the broad
span of q sport no one can recall such
a development as this in so short
time.
The change from 1890 to 1917 is al
most beyond belief. No one knows
earlier conditions better than Jack
Clark, the well-known professional at
the Madison Country club, Madison,
Conn.
"I'll never forget" he says, when I
brought my clubs from Scotland
through the custom house in Boston
back in May, 1890. The custom house
officer first thought they were a Pc
culiar brand Of walking stick. He in
sisted they could be nothing else, and
my Scotch brogue was too much to
make him understand. My brother
Bob and laid out six-hole course at
West Medford, Mass, and when we
started playing the entire community
laughed at us. The kids in the next
field were playing baseball, and they
thought we were crazy. But few OF
them consented to try it out, and i'm
mediately took up the game when they
found it so much harder than it looked.
'The trouble in the early days." con-
tinued Clark, twas loaning golf balls
and clubs. When we lost what few balls
we had, we had to send back to Scot
land for more, and wait six weeks, as
we couldn't buy any over here. I'll
never forget when / walked into big
sporting goods store in Boston in 1911.
1 told the salesman 1 wanted golf
club. I know what you want he said,
and soon returned with a shiny stick.
You call it golf over there he told
me, but we call 1t shiny over here.
And it was all 1 could do to make him
the two games were not the
same.'

KILL CONCENTRATING HOGS
Menace to Fowls and to Pocketbook-
Habit Is Result of Disease or
Unbalanced Ration.

Chicken-eating hogs should either be
cured Immediately or disposed of as
they are menace not only to the
flock but to the rest Of the bunch of
hogs and the pocketbook as well. No
real healthy, profitable hog viii eat
chickens and this habit is a result of
disease or unbalanced ration. Corn
fed hogs, those following fattening cat
tie, IA suckled-down SOW, boar shut in
tight pen, or runty pigs usually de-
velop into this pest. In most cases it
can be cured by feeding carrion, which
in itself is a dangerous practice; the
better way is to feed tankage. If
were going to try to cure a chicken eat
er would feed an overdose of tank
age at first so as to be sure the animal
got enough of the food it was craving,
then reduce the amount to more near
Unbalanced ration, but rather over than
under usual amount, because this an
imal, being in an abnormal condition
may be able to assimilate a greater
amount of high-protein carrying food,
says q writer.
1t is not every animal that will yield
TO treatment but the man who has
chicken eaters around better begin to
get nervous else something worse will
strike him. 1t is merely a symptom
that the hog is not quite in the pink Of
condition, therefore more liable to
catch the germs of cholera and the like,
or form a culture and develop a case
of genuine cholera. If there is any
thing in this germ theory, there are
most all kinds of germs sailing around
everywhere and most all the time. Gen
orally they are not numerous enough to
be feared by the animal in good con-
dition and the chicken eater should be |
cured Immediately or disposed of.

EXERCISE FOR THE STALLION
Short Walk Each Day Is Not Enough

Give Him Some Work.

See to it that the stallion is getting
plenty OF exercise. A short walk each
day Is not enough to keep him In the

Stallion owners are coming TO rec
ognize the fact that the best way
to keep the stallion hard and fit with
the least expense and trouble is to
give him q moderate amount of work
throughout the year. He will make a

Why7

Why does the sound Of a bell cease
when you touch 1t? Because sound Is
due to waves in the air which strike
the drum of the ear. When a bell or
gong is struck it vibrates and produces
waves in the air that reach the ear.
When you touch the bell the vibration
is stopped and there are no more sound
waves.

DOLLS OFALL KINDS
FEATURE BAZAAR
There'II Be a Table Full Of Them
at the Episcopal Hospital
Benefit.

Doll babies-little dolls and big
dolls, black dolls and white dolls, fat
dolls and thin dolls, dolls of every
description, ranging from the humble
little rag doll with q black face and
kinky hair to the beautiful china
doll, with red cheeks and golden hair
will be q feature Of the bazaar for
the benefit Of the Episcopal Eye, Ear.
and Throat Hospital, to be held at
the Raleigh Hotel Wednesday and
Thursday OF this week.
Since the outbreak of the war, the
more attractive and expensive dolls
have grown constantly more scarce,
due to the fact that most Of them had
been imported from Germany. But
the women in charge Of the doll table
for the bazaar have put forth siren
uous efforts to overcome this diff
Guilty, and have secured not only this
city but other cities in quest of the
desired dolls. Some have been brought
from far-awsy Chicago, some from
New York, and not q few Of them are
the real imported kind that today are
SO scarce.
How they were procured Is q secret
known only to Miss Ella Whiting,
chairman, and other members OF the
doll committee, but Il has been whis-
pered that some Of the women on
the committee cherished dolls when
they were little girls and kept them
packed deep down in their trunks
until now. Many Of these have been
resurrected,- busted, had their faces
washed and hair arranged according
to the approved styles, and fully
equipped with the most modish doll
costumes.
These old dollies and many brand
new dollies, all arrayed as only wo-
men who love them can dress dollies,'
will be on exhibit at the bazaar, and
