PEARLERs' LOT IS HARD ONE
When Divers Do Not sueeumb 4
Hardships Attending Work n
Sharks Get Them.

The lot Of the native pearlers OF the
Persian gulf is q hard one, for all run
the risk OF getting scdrvy from the
lack of fresh food. Ice, Of course, Is
unknown in the fleet, and the impure
water breeds worms. The boiling and
fltering Of water do not appeal to ORR
entail people as yet. The 'saibs, or
rope pullers, get palms as hard and
cracked as an ancient Bedouin's heel.
They could prevent this by wearing
gloves, but that would be a sign of
efeminacy, and bring ridicule upon
| them.
The exposure in the water gives
many of the divers weak hearts and
tuberculosis, and many of them be-
come deaf because the weight Of the
water breaks their ear drums. Sharks
do not create the scare that one re-
Gently did on the Atlantic coast. They
abound in the gulf and many divers
have had a hand bitten off. One young
Arab was brought to the American dis
pensary at Kuweit with his whole side
laid open by a shark that had gotten
a wide mouth hold upon him. The
boy survived. We asked him If he
would give up diving now.
NO." he said, Il will go back next
year. I have to"
The danger of drowning is great, for
sometimes a strong current carries the
diver far away from his boat, and be-
fore the rope puller can bring him
back he Is drowned. The Arabs have
no pulmotors, and they are not efficient
in giving first aid" If a man re-
mains too long under the water, 1t was
written on his forehead" and that is
all there is to it.-E. e. Calyerley in
the Scientific American Supplement.

Married Men Most Successful.

Do you think you are saving money
and being successful by remaining a
bachelor? If you do. read the Ameri-
can Magazine and see what a writer
says about the ratio between married
and single men. Part of it is: 'ShOw
me one middle-aged bachelor who has
made q success of his life. and I'll
show you &c married men who have.
Probably the ratio is ven greater
than this. but I prefer to base my con-
tentiOn on demOnstrable fact. OF the
81 presidents OF the United States.
only one lived and died a bachelor.
Nineteen of them married before they
were thirty. five before they were
forty. and two after forty. Yet. ne
cording to the census returns, taking
the entire population of the country,
the proportion of single men to those
married, widowed or divorced, is about
40 to 60"

GOOD FARMERS ARE NEEDED
But II Might Be Possible for Too Many
People to Go Back to the Land,
Says Writer.

To jump from the frying pan into
the fire is said to afford slight relief,
Were half Of the city population to
"go back to the land" 1 fancy hat the
second estate of man would be quite
as unhappy as the first. Girard OBJ
serves in the Philadelphia Ledger.
A succession of more crops than we
could eat would reduce prices so low
that there would ensue an exodus Of
disguised newly made farmers back to
the towns. For If half the population
began to practice medicine, or made
hats. or cav carpets, those vOcatiOns
would offer no more attractions for
ambitious men.
So with farming. They know In the
South what too much cotton means
They once burned corn in Kansas be-
cause it cost less than wood.
Farming is a good game now-fOr
the man who knows how to farm. 1t
is not SO good for the shoemaker, black
smith, store clerk or typewriter.
Mr.. Morgan, I understand, finds
banking a good occupation, but the
farmer who set up in trade alongside
Of him wouldn't. We do need more
good farmers, and the agricultural
schools are making in four years as
expert tillers Of the soil as those folks
Lancaster whose ancestors TILED the
soil for a thousand years.

SCIENCE TO The RESCUE
Chemist Offers Mankind Kind Of
Chemical Soup as Nutritious as
Beef Extract.

Science is hurrying to the rescue.
Along sanitary and military and me-
chanical lines it has made marvellous
progress. In the culinary field it leaves
much to be desired.
Now ONE a Philadelphia chemist
and offers mankind a mineral soup
that is pronounced fully as nutritious
as the finest beef extract. He told
the Franklin institute the other night
how the substitute is prepared. 1t is
a decidedly peculiar recipe and one
that might well make the ordinary
cookbook shudder. You take portions
of sodium phosphate and calcium car
Donate and ammonium sulphate. add a
little sugar and a small amount of
yeast. These ingredients are mixed
and set away until reaction by autoly-
sis ensue and d brown sticky paste
that has all the nutritive qualities of
commercial beef extract is produced.
According to the chemist it is the
yeast that transforms the inorganic
minerals into the pronounced organic
meat substitute. The yeast contains
fermentation agents called engines,
which are responsible for the altera-
ton, and produce the food qualities
from the chemicals. There were doubt
ers about the table at the Franklin in
stitute. They insisted upon tasting
the ''stone SOUP" and pronounced it
good. They even declared that it was
fully equal in nutrition and appear
ance to the market variety, and each
of the samplers pronounced the odor
remarkably beeflike.
incidentally, the chemist announced
that the cost of 'stone SOUP he called
it synthetic meat. is less than that
from the or or sheep = which, of
course, was to be expected.
However, it al be assumed that
even if the substitute is cheaper and
equally nutritious, it viii be a long
time before it takes the place of scrap
pie on the Philadelphia dinner plate.

Old Davy Skinner, a fisherman on

One summer day he was rowing
along in his boat when a dory con
tanning five or six young summer peO-
pie was capsized near him. Natural
ly there were screams and wild con-
fusion, In the midst of which Davy
rowed over to the scene Of the disaster
and said placidly to the young people
who were clinging to the boat, scream

IMacaroni Beans.

The "macaroni beans" Of North Man
churia, a peculiar product described
In a recent commerce report, are con-
sumed entirely by the Chinese farm
ers. The beans are of two kfnds-a
red and yellow variety that is very
foury and a small green bean that is
unusually glutinous-and for use the
two are mixed together, ground into
-four, and made into a paste, which is
forced through small holes into long
strings or noodles. These dry quickly
and keep well in any climate. They
are cooked in water, like macaroni or
vermicelli, and this method OF using
gives the beans their trade name.

have taken the matter up repeatedly with our au-
thorities and the first action Of any kind that was
taken in this state was initiated by the employers
Of the city Of Spokane and has resulted in some very
marked progress in a number OF ways. We want to
assure you and the business men of your commun-
ity that the business men of Spokane will cooperate
with you in every way possible to bring about a
solution OF this situation"
It is gratifying to know that the business men of
Spokane have taken hold of this problem. There is no
desire upon the part Of any other community to add
to their burden or their embarrassment; but there is
a growing conviction all over the Inland Empire that
the place to deal with the I. W. W. menace is at the
fountain head, and, so far as the west is concerned,
that is Spokane.
Idaho is convinced that the place to shut off the
flood is up at the reservoir. 1t is no easy matter to
drive the streams back with the pressure continually
increasing at the top.

WALTER CAMP WILL TRAIN MEN

In the arst burst Of patriotic en-

the United States into the war, the

country, innumerable qussi-military or

Of oil ages. The training has been car

WHERE GERMANY FAILED TO PREPARE

It is conceded that at the beginning of the present
war Germany had great armies, a great navy. great
guns and munitions Of all kinds, great military knowl-
edge and skill. Beginning with Bismark at the close
of the Franco-Prussian war, Germany put in more than
40 years in preparation Of this kind
Germany, accomplished wonders in all the lines In
dicated above, but she failed miserably after all-she
prepared soldiers and not men, She developed the spirit
OF militarism at the expense of manhood, and now that
the supreme test has come she is doomed to defeat.
There never was a time in the history Of the world
when brute force was superior to intelligence. Raw
democracy, inspired by the spirit of justice, the love of
right will Ultimately crush the German machine be-
cause that machine is based on the rotten foundation of
a selfish, narrow and brutal autocracy.

WHEN 1T TOUCHES THE POCKET NERVE

Spokane business men seem to have awakened at
last to the gravity of the 1. ". w. menace as it applies
to Spokane business. The Chamber of Commerce Of
that city held a special meeting last Thursday for con-
sideration of this matter,-to devise ways and means
for suppressing the evil.
Reports of this meeting have been sent around to
the various communities to allay the feeling of bitter
ness against Spokane that has been growing so rapidly.
Attention was called to the meeting of prosecuting at
torneys Of the state and United States district attorneys
then in session in Seattle, apd it was decided by the
Spokane Chamber of Commerce to take no drastic action
until the outcome of this official conference was known.
Writing to Occur dAlene whore the bitterness
against Spokane found definite expression In a public
meeting, the secretary of the Spokane organization said:
Il want to point out to you that the business
men of Spokane through their chamber of commerce
and their employers association and other organ
azations have been active from the very start In
endeavoring to suppress the I. W W. menace. We
