HII.O. Feb. l6.-Col. j. ID. Easton.

have the federal government appropri.
ate the sum Of $1,000 for the purpose
OF improving existing rifle ranges on
the island Of Hawaii and for also es-
tablishing new ranges in different sec
tions Of the island.
Col Easton said yesterday that with
$500 he could so improve the Hiio
range that "a men would be able to
fire at the same time instead of six as
at present. The operations on the
range are handicapped a lot by the
fact that only half dozen men can
shoot at the same time.
There Is also a handicap through
the. fact that although shooting is
Gone at 500 and 1000 yards. the rifle
men have to move back and dig in
In order to get ranges at those dis
tances. II Is realized that there should
be proper ranges for the distances

Wonders of a MIRAGE.

The published statement of the ex-
plOrer Donald b. Mcmillan that the
Arctic land mass which Admiral Peary
reported and named Croker Land was
but a mirage has stirred new interest
In this strange phenomenon, which can
deceive an experienced observer into
the belief that he sees plains and noun
tains where there is nothing but few
clouds. The mirage is due to the APP
pearance of small objects seen through
layers of air at different temperatures.
which bend the rays of light and dis
tort the image, much as the image of
a pencil half submerged in water is
distorted. A typical mirage is often
seen in the deserts of the southwest
where it becomes quite cool at night,
and the sun brings a sudden change in
the morning, so that temperature lay
ers are created AS result small
bushes appear as great trees, with
their doubles below them, as though
mirrored in still water. It was a SINH
lar phenomenon which magnitied a
cloud bank to look like a continent.

Campaign for Improvement
Of Health Among People of
Rural Districts Is Started.

One of the most important conSer-
walton campaigns undertaken in the
United States is that started by the
committee on health problems of the
National Council OF Education, under
the guidance of DIR. Thomas ID. Wood.
professor OF physical education in
Teachers college, Columbia univer-
sity. The campaign has for its pur-
pose the Improvement of health in the
rural districts of the country.
After careful investigation, Doctor
Wood has found country school chill
dren less healthy, on the average, than
city children. The reasons he believes
to be largely found in careless disposal
of waste matter in the country, in con-
taminated water, in insufficient venti-
lation, in unbalanced rations, and in
failure to have children examined by
physicians and dentists.
Doctor Wood and his committee
purpose to remedy these conditions
through campaign of education in
the rural schools. The improvement
of conditions will be accomplished
through pointing out just what is
wrong with present modes Of living.
In the cities health regulations have
been enforced largely through police
power, and are still eYaded by some,
who do not realize the Importance of
sanitary conditions. In the country,
thinly settled as 1t is, the careful en-
forcement of minute regulations would
be impossible. Improvement there will
come through education, and improve
nent based on education is a much
more settled, more beneficial matter
than Improvement based on law.

EXTERNALS
BY GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

The Externals of life are but
the Eye Hobbies of transient
Humans. SO that whatever
counts with the Eye today will
have little standing with the
Soul tomorrow. For Character
is the only thing that is really
permanent. And
Character grows from Within.
The very experience of the
Universe pays daily tribute to
this fact. The inspirers OF our
Race and Time were men and
women who sought eagerly for
the things that endured-in
Character and great Works. For
the Externals they had neither
time nor desire. They started
to build from the Foundation
truth that
Character grows from Within.
Are you troubled or worried
or made envious by the Exter-
nails? Does selfish Pleasure at
tract you? Are you held in the
fascination that eXtravagant dis
play of Dress, Money, KnOwi-
edge. or Social or Public Power
many times affords? Smile and
be happy in the knowledge that
more than these may be easily
yours. and that for YOU
Character grows from Within.

FOODSTUFF
IN WAR TIME
BY DR.. SAMUEL G. DIXON.
Commissioner of Health of PennsyI-
vania.

vania.
Food makes the sinew of war.
During the activities of war such
as the world is now experiencing, mil
lions of men and women are engaged
in manufacturing munitions for every
requisite of warfare, both on land and
water.
Food supplies the very sinew of war,
therefore, the guarding of meat, milk,
vegetables and grain becomes one of
our imperative measures of defense.
These essentials will have to be
looked after to supply those active at
the front and those guarding the great
treasures of our republic.
Unfortunately, at the present maybe
more than ever before in the history
of the world, our people are restless
and demand to be entertained. They
do not today as much as in former
times, make their daily occupations
their play. For this reason they flock
to the centers of population to. be
amused by various forms of entertain
ment. This rObs the farms and gar
dens of our country, which we can
Ill afford at such time as this.
With these conditions staring us in
the face, our attention is turned to a
serious condition which threatens ma
ton that may be long engaged in ac-
tive warfare. No one can guess the
length of time the United States of
America will be involved in protect
ing herself from foreign interference
with her national rights Today, there
fore. is the time to begin to economic
In the use of foodstuffs.
Gardening and farming furnish
health and profitable activities for
women. If many idle women, and
those who engage in sports of vari-
Gus kinds simply to pass away the
time, should become active and spend
their time in some useful occupation,
such as gardening, it might be more
profitable TO them physically, mentally
and morally, and of inestimable value
to their country.
This is the time of all times for the
leaders of society who are influential,
TO induce all those engaged in frivol-
Gus habits to make gardening and
farming fashionable.
Competitive farming and gardening
by women would help to maintain
their health, and in many cases make
the weak strong. With better health
they would find the burdens of life be-
coming lighter and the nation would
become stronger.

100000 Overripe oranges were de-
serOyed because they were not fit for
sale. Thus $50 tons of fOodstuff from
Porto Rico and Jamaica were lost aft
e< having been brought long
distance at considerable outlay, says
the New York Sun.
Again, not long ago, $500 bags of
onions were thrown into San Fran
cisco bay because they had deteri-
grated in the warehouses and could
not be sold. These instances are but
two among many thousands Of similar
cases of market losses. They give an
inkiing of the enormous wastage in
produce that goes on in the United
States annually, and all because green
vegetables and fresh fruits will re-
main edible so long and no longer.
The loss could be prevented If part of
the moisture in the fruits and vege-
tables could be eliminated without in
jaring them.
The average citizen does not realize
in, but his watered foodstuffs are levy

Ii is that moisture content that in
vites deterioration and decay.
Trace the story a step back. The
Inarketman has to contend with the
same conditions; goodly percentage
of his stock willis and deteriorates
upon his hands because Of the trouble
breeding moisture: and what he sells
must bring higher price In order
to fetch a general profit. The whole
saler Is confronted by the same prob
lem, because he has to pay charges
for transportation, cover depreciation
In transit, and sell at prices that will
iasure a balance on the right side of
his ledger.
Again. the farmer must ship only
the very best of his produce in order
reasonably well their journey to the
markets. AS a result, where his fruits
end vegetables ripen overabundantly
he must count broadly as loss that
part of his harvest which remains on
his hands. He must get enough from
his sales to pay for this wastage and
the ultimate consumer sighs at the
price thus made necessary.
A possible remedy for this state of
things lies in the process recently per-
fected in this country that makes 1t
practicable to dry fruits and vegeta.
bles without impairing their palata-
bleness and their natural nutritive
values. The hard pressed. Germans
have already been doing something in
this direction.
The beet and the potato were the
two vegetables that the Germans
worked with on large scale originally.
Later they took up the drying of beet
tops. potato tops, peas and grains for
the feeding of domestic cattle. Before
this, 1t was the common practice to
pack away the beet tops in silos,
and quite two-thirds of the crop
was used In this fashion, but a good
part of the ensilage was commonly
spoiled by fermentation. 1t was to
avoid this loss that the Germans re-
sorted to drying. The result was
green, tender fodder containing O
starchy content of 80 per cent. A ton
OF fresh leaves made 200 pounds of
the dried foodstuff for cattle The nu-
tyitive value was found to be as high
as the more expensive meadow hay.
II was only natural that the Germans
should elaborate their factories for
