them play by ear, few of them being
able to read music; that Hawaiian

A BLOW TO. JOHN BARLEY.
CORN.

The Minnesota Safety Com
mission has decreed that all sa-
loon and liquor joints close at
10 p. M, and remain closed un-
til 8 o'clock the next morning.
Also that all cabarets in which
liquors are sold be closed and
that no women be served with
drinks at any time and no wom-
en- be allowed in saloons.
The order is the most drastic
ever issued in any state that is
not under prohibition rule. If
enforced to the letter it will
paralyze the liquor business in
the cities, especially in the first
class swell joints like Carling's
and McC cCormick's.

ten o'clock, when men and wom-

Appearance Of Hawaiian Players at Ap
preaching chautauqua stirs
Interest in UkaIeIe.

Everyone who owns a phonograph
has become familiar with the weird
witchery of the Hawaiian music and
no instrument has grown so rapidly in
popular favor as the Hawaiian ukalele.
Much of the novel tone quality and in
dividuality of the Hawaiian music is
due to the ukalele, the native Hawai-
ian instrument, of diminutive guitar
shape. Koa, rare and valuable ma
tive wood is used in the manufacture
of genuine Hawaiian ukaleles, and no
other wood produces the same mellow
tone. Contrary to popular belief,
most of the ukaleles, no matter where
sold, are manufactured in this coun-
try, according to Mr.. Chas. Byers, in
Musical America 1t is estimated that
more than 10000 of these instruments
were sold in California in one year.

The Kid has gone to the Cclors
And we don't know what to
say;
The Kid we have loved and cud-

Stepped out for the Flag to-
day.
We thought him child, a baby,
With never a care at all,
But his country called him man
size,
And the Kid has heard the
call.
He paused to watch the recruit
ing,
Where, fired by the fife and
drum,
He bowed his head to. Old Glory
And thought that it whis-
pered "Come!"
The Kid, not being a Stacker,
Stood forth with patriot joy
To add his name to the roster
And God, we're proud of the
boy!
The Kid has gone to the Colors
It seems but little while
Since he drilled a schoolboy army
In truly martial style.
But now he's a man, a soldier,
And we lend him a listening
ear,
For his heart is a heart all loyal,
Unscourged by the curse of
fear.
His dad, when he told him, s1ud-
dered,
I His MOTHERHOOD bless her =

Yet, blest with a mother nature,
She wept with a mother pride.

Was changed by the flag to

Houses Made of'GIass.

Glass is becoming more generally used as a building material each year For some years glass bricks have been utilized where strength and durability as we'll as beauty were essential fea- lures. Glass is used for wainscoting, for partitions, for ceilings and for fac ing the fronts of buildings. It is also being used for foundations.
 It has been demonstrated that the crushing strength of glass Is three times that of granite, six times that of ordinary brick and ten times that of concrete. Another advantage it has over these materials is that it is abso- lutely nonabsorbent, so that a glass building can be perfectly dry inside, no matter what the atmospheric condi- tions outside.-Atlanta Journal.

Dust Dancers.

An analysis of the contents of a vacuum cleaner made recently showed that the dust which had collected on the bookshelves i'll library consisted of hair, green wool. white wool, cot ton fibers, celluloid pieces of finger nails, fly wings, sand grains, wood, pa per, string, metallic iron and leather The hair was probably derived from soft hats, the wool and cotton fibers from clothing, sand from the mud tracked in on shoes and the gradual pulverizmg of the floor, fly wings from dead flies and paper from book leaves"
 Cautiously enough, very few germs were found ill this dust. Yet there Is no question that iuhaling it might lead to various diseased conditions. This would not be the result of any disease germs contained in the dust itself, but to the irritating effects produced by the dust particles when brought into contact with the bronchial membranes. Thus it is evident that even germ free dust may be harmful when inhaled Los Angeles Times.

 Of course everybody read the adver- tiscment. Of course everybody said to himself that the batch of orders on x. & Co. must be nice, fat one. Thus by a clever stratagem x. & Co. man. aged to diffuse among the public the impression that theirs was a large business, with an immense number of customers.
