PERsPiRlNo HANDS.

Hands clammy and damp with per-

This condition is often due to nerv-

will prove very beneficial is to rub into
the palms an ounce of alcohol mixed
with half an ounce of belladonna.

PROTECTORS FOR CHINA.

Paper doilies make good protectors
to put between the best china plates
to prevent scratching or chipping. but
a set of plate pads will be much better.
These pads are circles of white wad-
ding, cut to fit the various sizes of the
plates. The disks are finished with
blanket stitch around the edge in n
color matching the china. The blan-
ket stitch is nothing more or less than
buttonholing with the stitches taken

: During the month of September the
railroads of the country transported
500, 600 soldiers to the various concen-
tration camps without accident; and
Secretary Baker says they deserve
great credit for this achievement"
They do. And it should be noted that
the railroad business of the country is
being carried on without the aid of
any administrators or of any dollar
asyear assistants appointed by the gov
eminent. The railroads are managed
now, as always, by railroad men. They
have had to contend with a scarcity of
labor, with high prices for fuel and all
other material, and they have been
given no substantial relief in their ne
cessity for larger revenues. Yet they
have responded to the nations needs:
and, as Mr.. Baker says. they deserve
great credit" Will they get it? or
will the policy of slamming the rail-
roads be continued?

PATRIOTIC COOPERATION.

The law for regulating the distribu
ton and sale of the food products es-
sentiaI to the support of war opera
tons and of the people of the coun-
try, has been in effect since August
TO- In the meantime the official
food administrator has been busy in
conferences with producers, distribu-
ters, transporters and dealers, upon
plans to give it effect in the most just
and equitable manner. With that in
view a license system has been de-
vised for directing the whole business
in list of about twenty of the most
important articles of food
In advance of a proclamation by the
president putting this into practical
effect in all it's details, Mr.. Hoover
has made an explanatory announce
ment and an appeal for support on the
part of all those concerned in the
business transactions involved between
the producer and the home consumer
and exporter, including retail dealers
on a scale of more than 100000 a
year.
It has been the desire of the food
administration, Mr.. Hoover says, ito
secure the cooperation of all patriotic
men in the various trades so as to
eliminate speculation, boarding, un-
reasonable profits. wasteful practices,
etc, in the great distribution system of
the country" He repeats further on
in his statement, that while authority
IS vested in the administration to sus-
pend the licenses that are to be re-
quired from November l and impose
penalties for violations of the law or
any of the regulations under it, It is
the purpose to accomplish these
ends of public service and war service,
so far as possible, not by coercion, but
by patriotic cooperation" The Ii
censing system. it is believed. will be
"a protection to the great majority of
producers and distributors, as well as
to the public, against the operations of
those few who unpatriotieally seek to
exploit the necessaries of life for ex-
cessive profit"
Patriotic cooperation is a fine the
DRY and everybody is in favor of it,
for the other fellow. The men who
are continuing to reap inordinate
profits as the result of the war may
be ikened to Artemus Ward, who was
so patriotic that he was willing to sac
rifice all his wife's relations on the
altar of his country. Every profiteer
will be delighted to have all the Others
devote themselves TO patriotic CO.

PREPARING FOR PEACE.

It is reported that President Wilson
has delegated his friend Colonel House
to prepare tentative terms upon which
the United States will be willing to
conclude a peace with Germany. This
work it is understood will be under
taken in preparation for the time
when terms of settlement must be
considered in a conference of all the
beIIieerents. Such a conference, of
course, cannot be assembled until
Germany throws up her hands.
The war is likely to end as sudden
~ as it began. While the fighting
continues negotiations are impossible.
When Germany reaches a realization
that she is whipped and cries;
Enough" then and not until then
will she be told what it is necessary
for her to do. She probably will be
dealt with much more leniently than
she deserves to be.
Then it is that the deluded German
people will awaken to realization OF
what has happened to them and who
is responsible. They may be ready to
repudiate the principles and the per-
sons that made the war inevitable and
led them to their ruin. In all justice
they can say: ITO you we listened
and you we have obeyed. to you we
have sacrificed all that holds us to
life, the lives of our sons and our hus-
bands, and our fathers, the ideals and
beliefs of our ancestors, and our own
better nature. You have offered US
wealth and power and the Kingdoms
of this world, and we accepted your
offer and your promise, and what
have we? The world was at our feet,
to our cities men came from every
land, and in every land our merchants
were the most prosperous. our prod
ucts We're the most used, and it was
our thoughts men thought. And now
travel round the globe, and we are
the despised and hated of mankind.
we have the curse of Cain on our
brow, men shun US in the street, and
our language is ostracized. To you
we owe it that the achievements of a
century of national effort have been
lost

groups in the museum are not manu-
featured in this studio Usually these
props" are sent in from the scene
of the hunt. or else they are made in
wax and painted by woman expert
who is employed by the Smithsonian
for that purpose The latter work is
done so cleverly that the visitor rarely
suspects the use of wax. In the mu-
scum, for example, there is a group of
moose in the midst of small trees.
Since these moose live chiefly on the
young succulent branches of such
trees. one of the group is shown with
a branch clinched firmly between a
set of large white teeth. The whole
thing is so marvelously executed that
you can almost see the branch moving.
ROosevelt's Water Buffalo.
One of the most interesting groups
is that of the East African water buf
falo, procured on the Roosevelt eXpe-
dition to Africa. There are several
buffalo in the group, some of which
stand six feet high amid tropical I'M
derbrush, with snow-white COW her
ons perched on their backs. This
sight is so unusual that everyone al
ways stops to read the card to one
side of the case. 1t explains that the
cow-herons have accompanied the
buffaloeS thru the bushes in order to
harvest the grasshoppers and insects
aroused by the passage of the beasts
thru the underground.
The Information contained on the
cards is often Surprising, not to say
fconoclastic. For instance, after be-
holding a flock of Rocky Mountain
goats perched precariously on the
lodges of giant cliffs, one reads on the
card; Contrary ITO popular opinion,
these goats are not always sure-foot-
ed in their rock and glacier elm bings.
Instances of accident and even de-
struction to individuals have OCCASION
ally been noted One also learns
with interest that each pack of goats
is usually led by "a sagacious old fe-
male"
Another popular fallacy concerning
the animal kingdom was recently
heartlessly shattered by an exploring
taxid ermist, who did mot st0p to re-
fleet upon its disastrous effect upon
the fund of literary metaphor. He
states quite positively that when sur
prised or frightened the ostrich does
not hide its head in the sand. Every
ostrich he hunted, he asserts, inn
mediately got behind a bush, from
which the only part of its anatomy
that could be distinguished was very
thin head, containing two very geen
and intelligent eyes. When chased
it wbuld run, he declares. always
managing to keep the bush between il
and its pursuer.
Thus the new taxiderrny has indeed
contributed not only to the amusement
but the education of the world. With
no offense to science it may be stated
that the new museum of natural his
tory is as interesting as a menagerie
or circus. What used to belong eX-
clusively to scholars and scientists
now belongs to the people.
