To All Germans
For Aid in War

Jamestown, N. D., Oct. 26.-
Lauding true Americanism and
urging persons with German
sympathies to get back of the
government and do their bit" in
the fight for democracy, Prof. A.
e. Koenig, Of the University OF
Minnesota. delivered an inspir-
ing address to a large audience

True Americanism Is what is
needed to win this war, said

citizen, and just as loyal, as a
citizen born in the United States.
1t is for one cause and we must
all do our share.

Swimming With . Cold.

In an address before tho leading ear, nose and throat specialists of the coun. try Dr. Hill Hastings of Los Angeles recently called attention to the danger of a persons swimming, and particu- larly diving, when he has a cold in the head. Comparatively, few persons req lize that it is dangerous, and many even believe that when they have re- covered from q cold and are still an noyed by excessive thick secretions in the nose they can find relief by diving or plunging the head under water. The purulent matter washed out is not only a danger to others, says Dr. Hastings, but the diver himself runs . risk of forcing some of the pus into his middle ear. Most specialists have observed that cases of mastoid abscess are com mon every SUI Inner during the swim ming season. At the large ear, nose and throat hospitals 1t is recognized that the swimming season invariably brings on "a crop of mastoids." The advice to keep out of the water until a head cold" is entirely cleared up can not be too strongly emphasized.

Alike, Yet Very Different.


 On Seventh avenue the other evening I saw a small red headed fool of 8 boy throwing cans. "An excitement crav- Ing, empty headed kid" said to my self, driving by. On the next block saw girl with red curls, dressed in furs, rather dashing, who gave me . little provocative smile as I passed. Did I say to myself that she was an excitement craving, empty headed kid! She was, but | didn't. On the con trary, for the moment at least, felt quite drawn toward her. Yet she and that boy might easily have been broth CT and sister and twin rowdies at heart Why did one of the two so at- tract me and the other repel?
 The strange lure of sex. It was ready to blind me to the mental de fects of that girl. It was ready to fix my thoughts on her cheeks or her hair If I'd sat with her. Now, isn't that odd? I should never have given snap for her kid brothers hair or cheeks naturally.

None is expensive, onerous or imprac- tical.
 It should be noted that the proper ties of benzine are practically identi- cal with those of naphthas in gener- al and further that kerosene (of lower
 than 150 degrees fire test) contains a considerable proportion of volatile naphtha, often introduced by dealers to reduce the fire test to the minimum legal point and that it is better to keep it in a cool and we'll ventilated place and not leave the can unstoppered. In the event of naphtha becoming ig- nited, water should never be thrown upon it. Earth or sand applied 1ib- orally is the best, wet woolen blan- kets or rugs may be used with good effect to smother the flames and water may be thrown in moderate quantities upon the rugs or blankets. Salt is good and soda (baking soda, soda bi- carbonate) still better if available in suffici quantity. If none of these can be had, throw on flour liberally, to smother the fire, mixing whatever salt and soda are at hand with the flour. The combustion of naphtha depends wholly upon a free supply of air and lu0 IloIIOO OI cAIlAS uio1iAilCiS' ID " cut off the air supply by applying sufficient noncombustible or lightly combustible material in sufficient quantity. The danger is by no means over when the actual fire is extin- guished, as combustible( or explosive) vapors will be emitted from the un- consumed naphtha until it is entirely evaporated, a process requiring some time if the extinguishing material is to any degree absorbent.
 Hence after naphtha fire is ex- tinguished the extinguishing material should at once be removed to the air and great care exercised to keep all fire or lights away from the imme- diate vicinity (5O feet or whereabouts from the actual 1ocality) until all odor has disappeared, Until this is the case all doors and windows should be kept open.
 In disposing of used or soiled naph- tha care should be used to insure it's complete evaporation and mixture with a large quantity of air and that the vapor or material will not get into pockets sewers or cesspools. In sewers and cesspools conditions are frequently such that an exceeding

Vast Russia.

Tt is difficult without map to give the reader any idea of how far away northeast Siberia is," says an English magazine. ''The European imagination travels slowly beyond the Ural morin- tains into that great frozen plain which embraces nearly the whole of northern Asia and ends at the Pacific ocean. Russia in Europe is vast, but the area of her Asiatic dominions exceeds that of the whole of Europe by more than a million square miles, though this enormous tract of country contains fewer inhabitants than half the popu- IatiOn of London"

" GySs[T<s'J SAT TO gESi Artist and Counterfoitor.

There used to be an old German counterfeiter in this country who was veritable wonder with the brush and pen. This man literally painted pic lures of twenty dollar notes which were works of art. He used no tools except his pens and brushes, and 1t took him week to do the portrait of 8 banknote.. He figured that 'hiss handi- cap was worth about $3 a day And worked under the idea that the world owed him a fair living and should not object if his talent led him toward portrait painting, with twenty dollar bills for models. Even jail terms fail ed to impress him seriously with his wrongdoing. A collector of curios once offered $500 for one of his speci- mems of bill portraiture, and the value of some others was said to be even greater, so marvellous was the delicacy of his brush work M

How War Comes.

The precedents of history show that the great majority of the worlds con flicts have been begun before formal declarations of war were made. Ac- corling to authorities on International law, a condition of war arises in. three ways:
 First.-Declaration of war.
 Second.-A proclamation or man1fes- to declaring that a state of war ex- ists.
 Third.-Through the commission of hostile acts of force.
 One authority on international law, describing ways in which hosdlities may begin without formal declaration, says, Acts of force by way of reprisals or during pacific blockade or during an intervention might be forcibly re- sisted, hostilities breaking out in this way."-New York World.

The gift of imagination appears to be the peculiar privilege of man.
