On the whole, the farmer ls a
favored man. He has that meth
err poverty nor riches which the
wise men Of all the ages have de-
sired. He has certain advant-
ages that cannot be had in cities,
and good roads, trolleys, motor
cars and telephones bring much
that the cities offer within his
reach. So far in American his
tory the farms have produced the
largest crops of the most desir-
able women and men. and there is
nothing to indicate that they will
not still continue to produce them.

tale about the conscientious obiector
long after the war is over.
This conscientious objector told the
tribunal that he would not defend his
mother and sisters. The two sisters
worked at the mill and were twitted
numerically about their chicken
hearted protector. The appeal failed,
and the conscientious objector had to
report himself at the barracks. On
his last night at home he waited for
the chief tormentOr and thrashed him.

EFFECT OF TOBACCO STUDIED
Physician Asserts That Cigarette
Smoking Causes Rise in Beats
Of the Pulse.

Cigarette smoking often causes n
marked rise in pulse beats. makes the
pulse irregular and causes n change
In blood pressure, the effects being
more marked II the smoke is Inhaled.
Is the conclusion of DR.. James AK
man Of New York, the latest authority
20 enGsavOr to determine the exact
effects % the human race Of cigarette
smoking.
Doctor Aikman's experiments are no
more productive OF definite conclusions
than those of many other inyestiga
tors OF the past. remarks a writer in
London Tit-Bits. He suggests. how
ever. that the great increase In cir
culatory diseases I'm the past hundred
years may be attributed to smoking,
although admitting that in the face Of
conflicting opinions, 1--WE can see how
far we are from definite conclusions
as to the true effect OF tobacco"
"The effect on the pulse of smoking
but one cigarette was marked" writes
Doctor Altman, "16 out of 27 subjects
showing an Increase of more than eight
beats a minute. In some cases the
rise was Spectacular. and came on in
one or two minutes, almost as soon as
the pulse was taken. OF the % cases
all gave an increase except four. and
two of the four had an abnormally
high pulse at the start.
"Other Investigators have reported
a rise in blood pressure, but In this Sc
ries the effects on the pressure were
not at all uniform. Out Of 25 cases
the systollc pressure fell in u, in
five there was an Increase, and eight
gave no change"

Visibility Of Planets.

As a general thing, the planets are
much less visible in daylight than
stars. The reason for this is that the
telescope diminishes the brightness of
the planets disk as well as of the sky,
and. therefore. does not heighten the
contrast as in the case Of the star.

and Mercury. are better observed in

The Fight Team

When the three fighting arms and
the nine staff corps are all brought
together under one control they form
what we may call "the fighting team"
This is the team in which you and ev-
cry other soldier must be ready to
play your part.
The smallest unit in which all these
branches Of the service Is represented
is known as division. Under pres
ent regulations an Infantry division is
made up of three Infantry brigades /;
one brigade of Field Artillery; one
regiment of Cavalry; one regiment OF
Engineers; one battalion of Signal
Corps; one squadron of airplanes; to-
gether with field trains and combat
trains carrying rations, baggage, am
munition, and all kinds of supplies. A
division, therefore, is in itself COM
plete small army. When at full
strength 1t includes 1884 officers and
men. A field army is made up of a
number of such divisions.
