OBITUARY.

Laura Endicott Copley was born on
January ., 1876, and departed this life
April /. 1918, being AZ years, 2 months
and % days old. on Dec. 81. 1892.
she was married to G. NJ. Copley at
Louisa. Ky. To them were born Z
children-four girls and three boys
all of whom survive her. About thirty
years ago she became a Christian. and
all this time she spent in the develop
ment of a beautiful Christian charac-
ter, and her last words were a most
suitable climax to such a life, for as
she was passing over she said: 1T is
good in living. but far better in dying"
Thus closed her earthly career, sur
rounded by her husband and all their
children. except one. Roy. who is serv-
ing in the United States Navy in this
great war and could not be at her bed
side with the others. Her chief regret
at dying was the fact that she was
leaving two small girls, the youngest
OF the family, for whose sake she wish
ed to remain longer that they might
have the benefit of her motherly care
until they arrive at more mature
years. But so far as she was person
ally concerned, death was most well
come. since II meant only the open
door to bliss beyond rs well as release
from her sufferings iduced by pull
monary tubercuirzis. The funeral SER
vices were cond led at her late home.
after which her -emains were deposit
ed in beautiful Geenlawn Cemetery
in Portsmouth. OHIO. Napoleon once

No one can take mothers place in the
heart or the home Of the world. To
the bereaved husband and children
this blow comes with heavy force. but
what is their sorrow is her Joy. and we
commend them to the grace OF Him
who doeth all things well.

Cigarettes as Anesthetic
For the Wounded Soldiers

There is much difference Of opinion
as to the effect Of cigarettes upon the
soldiers who smoke them. A scientific
investigation is said to show that Gig
arctic smoking has direct effect on the
heart, decreasing the smokers ability
to do hard work and to resist fatigue.
On the other hand there is evidence
that cigarettes keep the men up to
their tasks.
Mrs. Charles III. Farnam, a Long Is
land woman, who has just returned
from Serbia, where she spent several
years in hospital work and where she
earned the rank of sergeant, deliver
ed a lecture one night recently in
Brooklyn, in the course of which she
said:
"The soul Of life in the Serbian army
is a cigarette. The men go through
the greatest agonies If they have Gig
arettes in their mouths and never
think of the pain. In most of the hos
pitfalls there is shortage of anesthet-
les. When soldier is brought in to
be operated on they simply give him
q cigarette to smoke during the or
deal and he goes through it happily"
It is probable that both views as to
the effect are correct; the excessive
smoking being bad for the heart, and

There should also be board nailed
across the front to help hold the sides
AS framework for the back, 2 by f.
inch pieces are placed upright 2 feet
from each side and nailed to the floor
and sides. A crosspiece is put in 2 feet
from the floor. The back boards are
nailed to this framework and to the
sides. A guard rail should be placed
across the back the same as on the
sides. The sides should be fastened
firmly together so that no storm will
blow them down. The cracks should
be covered with batten. Guy wires
should be put in place to keep the
house from blowing over if in an ex-
posed position.
For Fattening Pigs.
The A-type house is very good for
a few fattening pigs and may be used
to house a sow and litter in warmer
climates. In sections where cold win
tiers are experienced the front should
be closed in. This will make good
shelter for a sow and her spring litter
If the front is to be closed this should
be decided before the house is built
This is necessary for two reasons
First, provision for ventilation should
be made, which can be done by insert
ing three or four 6-inch pieces of 2 by
4-inch material at the apex and spikins
the sides firmly to them, thus provid
ing series of pinch spaces for venti
lation. The saddle-boardS are raised
Second, the insertion Of the blocks tC
provide for ventilation will change the
angle at which the boards for the
back are cut.
In building the front proceed the
same as with the back. The doc,
should be % inches by 3 feet. If the
front is closed the window in the front
should be on hinges so that it may be
opened to give ventilation.
If the weather is severe at narrowing
time, one or two lighted lanterns hung
in the top of the house will make II
quite comfortable for the young pigs.

Sugar Famine a Blessing.

From the standpoint of hygiene and
economy. changes in diet represent q
positive gain. says the Popular Science
Monthly. For instance, take sugar-a
food which yields more calories per
unit ofSeost than any other food, but
which on the other hand, gives us moth
ing but energy. 1t contains no pro.
tein and no mineral value, elements
which are essential. So the present
sugar shortage is blessing in disguise.
for we are obliged to substitute in it's
place vegetables and fruits. which are
real bodybuilding foods. Had we
made this simple substitution many
years ago we might have been sturdi-
er race today.

America Buying Feathers
From China, Proving to Be
As Good Customer as Huns

Although the export of feathers
duck, fowl, etc.) from China as a
whole has decreased somewhat during
the past few years owing to the elimi-
nation of the German buyers, says
Shanghai newspaper, the export OF
feathers from China to America has
shown great increase since the out
break of the war, America having
stepped in to take almost the Identical
quantity that Germany had previous
~ taken.
About a million dollars worth of
feathers are exported from Chinese
ports yearly, America last year taking
about one-third of this quantity,
whereas two years previously the
American purchases were incOnsequen-
tial. The customs figures show that
Kowloon Opposite Hongkong) is the
principal port of export for feathers
from China, but as the feathers from
Kowloon are merely transferred to the
British possession of Hongkong, a few
miles distant, there is no means or
knowing what the ultimate destination
was of the very considerable quantity
of more than 100000 worth exported
from the City of the Nine Dragons
(Which is what the Chinese name
means).
Shanghai itself produces over $780,
900 worth of feathers for export, while
the Yangtse port of Wuhu furnishes
NOT far short of 5000 900 worth The
buyer of feathers in China must use
extreme care or else he will find what
has been sold him ostensibly as duck
feathers will contain feathers from
chickens or other fowls whose feathers
ave of an inferior quality.

Government Reserves Coal
Fields in Alaska to Have
a Certain Supply of Fuel

Through the work of the genera.
land office and the bureau of mines,
government reservations have been
designated in certain coal fields in
Alaska. These reservations are in
tended to cover such ground as will
provide coal for government use, pro-
tect the public from individuals at
tempting to monopolize coal lands or
extort exorbitant prices for coal, and
still offer equally good areas in the
best-knOwn parts of the fields for eX-
ploration by private enterprise.
Experts Of the bureau of mines, hav-
ing to do with this work, state that
the leasing units were laid out in COM
paratively small blocks, which can be
worked individually or combined into
larger tracts up to the maximum acre
age permitted by law. Attention was
given to the amount of probable coal
of workable thickness in each of these
areas, the relationship of the area to
possible transportation lines, the quail
ity of the coal and the general cOndi-
lions affecting mining.
The future of the Alaska coal fields,
it is asserted, is still somewhat prob
lematical. Along the entire coast the
output will come in direct competition
with California oil, the coal fields of
Oregon, Washington and British Co
lumbia, and with hydroelectric power.
Both the Boring river and the Manta-
nuska fields contain high-grade btu
minous coal suitable for cOking and for
use in the navy, and the Nenana field
contains an excellent Ignite, suitable
for power or domestic uses, or as a
powdered fuel in furnaces.
Experiments have proved that Goals
from other states on the coast have not
proved satisfactory for use by the
navy.
