A recent ebullition of a contributor
to federal public health service bull
letin has fallen under criticism
from the Pittsburgh Dispatch. The off.
cfal bulletinist, sounding a warning
against the bad habit of worry
Ing, said that no bird ever tried to
build more nests than its neigh
bOrs; no fox ever fretted because he
had only one hole to hide in; no SOUR
rel ever died of anxiety lest he would
have only enough nuts for one winter
instead of two, and no dog ever lost
any sleep over not having any bones
laid by for his old age. Was it wise
to exorsise worry by disparaging
thrift? The Dispatch calls attention
TO the fact that speakers at the recent
life insurance convention in New
York city pitched into this as the
most extravagant Of nations. The Dis
patch concludes by conceding that
birds, foxes, squirrels and dogs may
avoid lot of worrying to which hui
man beings foOlishly surrender, but
suggests that it must be remembered
they have no government health serv.
ice to worry them.

The Edinburgh Scotsman comment
Ing on the fact that the worlds uses
of rubber have more than doubled in
the last eight years and will vet be
increased enormously notes that seven
tenths of the present supply comes
from plantations under British con-
troll. The ability to absorb such a vast
and rapidly increasing production is
not attributable to ordinary motor trac.
ton demands but the great war has in
directly greatly increased the consump-
ton in the United States. AS to the
war, an enormous quantity of rubber
has been absorbed in the manufacture
of airplaneS, subsea boats, electrical
plants, surgical appliances, tires for
the motor ambulances, etc. Much rub
Der has gone into boots worn by the
men in the trenches, while waterproof
coats and sheets are necessities in a
campaign. In the hospital the floors
are now provided with rubber sheet
ings. This is for the purpose of dead
ening sound and for the relief of the
sick and wounded by preventing vi
bIations.

government will appreciate the prompt
payment of income taxes. notices of

is able to make payment without IN

Laura Armstrong, 12-year-old adop-
ted daughter Of c.. O. Armstrong, re-
siding about six miles from Quinion,
Billings county, was found dead few
rods from the ranch house Tuesday
afternoon. Strychnlne was found in
a pocket of her dress, and it is be-
lieved that she took her own life.
Parents of the girl are prostrated
with grief, and can ascribe no reason
for the act, if it becomes certain that
she took poison with suicidal intent.
Monday morning the girl left the
home, saying that she intended going
a short distance away to pick some
flowers. She seemed at that time to
be in the best Of spirits and was sing
ing as she left the home. When she
did not return in the evening, search
was instituted, but the body was not
found until Tuesday afternoon.
Face downward she lay, only a short
distance from the home, and partially
hidden by clump of bushes, with a
bouquet of withered flowers nearby.
In her pocket was found the strych-
nine. Whether she took her own life
in childish pique, whether she was
murdered or died a natural death
has not yet been established.
Funeral services were held at
Quinion Thursday, the Rev. Mr.. Cook
Of Fryburg officiating.
