After the war thousands will be walk
ing about with "a bit o. glass" in their
heads in place Of q lost eye, and 1t will
take an expert to tell which Is the real
and which the artificial. The artificial
hand can do the most wonderful things,
from picking up pin to working
lathe. The artificial leg soon becomes
so efficient that the wearef can play
good game OF lawn tennis and has to in
form HIS opponent which leg Is the

scoTLAhp. SOUTH DAKOTA

Nature evidently intended that mems
faces should be covered with a growth
Of beard, but not being satisfied with
natures arrangement in this matter.
Is in various others, most men provide
themselves with razors and keep most
or all OF this hair shaved of. Man is
not the only creature that undertakes
to improve on nature in this respect.
A curious South American bird, called
the bonmot, takes a modified kind OF
shave at regular intervals. Long blue
feathers grow to form this birds tail,
and on these feathers is soft down.
For some reason or other the bird dig
likes the feathers in this form. There
fore. from time to time it ships of
with it's sharp beak all of the down
from their lower ends to within about
an inch Of their tips. The tufts left
growing are carefully kept in tho form

S, DAKOTA SOLDIERS
MAKE GOOD SHOWING
Men at Camp Funston Take
Pride in Organizations Many
Former Business Men.

Camp Funston, Kan, an. 7-One or.
ganizatfon In Camp Funston is unusual
as 1t Is made up entirely of men from
one state. 1t is Company B, of the
SAND machine gun battalion. The en-
tire company including the non com
missioned officers claim South Dakota
as their home state. There is scarcely
county that is not represented on the
company roster.
This company has been in training
less than three months, but has pro-
crossed more rapidly than many other
organizations as it's men all have
common interest and work in closer
harmony than companies made up of
men from different states. The bows of
the camps make the B company bar
racks South Dakota headquarters and
drop in to spend an evening occa-
sionally A piano and photograph help
to keep things lively and visitors al
ways report a good time.
There are many prominent South Da-
kota men soldering at Camp Funston
and "B" company has it's share of
them. William Wieland formerly of the
firm of Wieland e. Son at belmont, and
G: A. Guirich, formerly business man
OF Wakonda, are now the company
buglers. Sergts. Frank Brady and c.
Z. Burnett and Corporal E. E. Barry are
we'll known cattle men from the west
ern part of the state. Sergeant G.. M.
Mlller, formerly farmed over 1000 acres
In Charles Mix county and there are
few people in that part of the state
who do not know him. Corporal E. C.
Canaday was Professor of mathematics
at the University of South Dakota, and
Is now company clerk Sergt. A. d.
Campbell was in the automobile bust
ness and lis well known in different
parts of the state. Corporal j. j.
OReilly was in business at Draper. All
these men are making good as soldiers
and show the same enthusiasm in the
business of soldering that they did in
their vocations in civil life.
There are few South Dakota boys at
Camp Funston that have advanced as
rapidly as William Wander Worst, Of
Lake Andes He was mustered into the
national army as a private in Septem-
Der and was promoted to the ranks of
corporal before he had finished his
first month in service. Later he was
again promoted to sergeant and at
present is acting first sergeant of Com
pany G, 340th machine gun battalion
He is one Of the 440 men Of the camp
who have been selected for training
for commissions as lieutenants, his
comrades expect to see "Bill'' wearing
the pins" when his three months train
ing are over.

SHOWS WORLD NOT
so BIG AE1ER ALL

Milbank, S. D., Jan. 5.-That the
world is not so large after all, was
demonstrated in the case of Mrs. Her
bert Atkinson, of Milbank, when she
was handed a letter by woman friend,
Mrs. f. L.. Thompson, extending thanks
for garment which Mrs. Thompson
had knitted and sent through the Red
Cross to soldiers and sailors at the
front, the letter proving to be from M.
L. Bridges. a brother of Mrs. Atkinson.
The surprise of Mrs. Thompson can be
imagined when she took the letter to
her neighbor and discovered that the
epistle was from the brother OF Mrs.
Atkinson. Young Bridges is assigned
to an American warship and one of the
peculiar incidents of the war was that
he should chance to receive the knitted
garment sent by a neighbor of his sis
ter, the garment having been sent with
thousands of others through the Min
neapolis branch of the Red Cross. That
this garment should fall into the
hands of this particular young man,
aboard a United States man of war in
far distant waters, could scarcely be
believed by the two women

 England today has sugar ration of TWO pounds per month per person ln France the ration is a pound and Il half and in Italy it is one pound q month. And the prices in allied conn tries are from two to three times as high as in America
 If you go to hotel in England or France these days and order tea or coffee they serve absolutely no Sugal with it. If you want sugar you must bring il with you.
 In England it is allowable to uSo one-seyenth of an ounce of sugar iu the preparation of each luncheon.
