CAN'T TRUST ONES IMPULSE
Cases Known Where Men Who Have Forswern Whisky and Tobacco
 Have Changed Their Minds.

I was much interested in Chauncey Depew's story of the way he broke away from tobacco at the ripe age of sixty years, "G. NJ. F." writes in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
 q bought a Partaga and walked up the hill to the capitol. l was feeling very bad. At the State street corner I looked at my cigar and said: Old friend, you have sacrificed yourself for me, and I've pretty nearly sacri- feed myself for you. Here's where you and part company I tossed the cigar away. 1t hit the side of passing horse car and landed In the street. The car conductor Jumped off, picked 1t up and went on, smoking happily"
 If the car conductor had not grabbed the cigar Chauncey might have changed his mind and reclaimed 1t. Grandma used to say that one should never act upon impulse. l remember quitting the use of tobacco once, while fishing, and 1 afterward changed my mind and walked back quarter of q mile to retrieve my snipe. The fel- low who fOrswearS booze and breaks his bottle impulsIvely generally man. ages to get another pint somewhere. Pronunciation Is not likely to possess a durable quality if 1t Is handcuffed. I like to imagine q man giving up smoking. with a vest pocket full of cigars, or whisky, with q barrel of it in the cellar. I say like to imagine 1t, but do they ever do that? Most smokers never quit until their draft is shut of.

SCARCITY OF WATER IN
 ToLoVANA DISTRICT

From late arrivals from the Tolo vana district 1t is learned that the mining operations in that section may be greatly curtailed owing to a scarcity of water for sluicing, the season having been an eXceptionaiiy dry one.
 At the start of the mining sea son water was abundant, but the hot weather soon dried things up Toward the last of June 8 good ram fell which refilled the naturtl res ervoirs, but 1t was soon used. For twenty-six days the dry weather COT tinued when another rain fell, tem- porarily relieving the situation. The mners were not discouraged over the outlook, and in spite Of the handicap everyone is busy taking out dumps in anticipation of haVing plenty Of water In the fall. ShoulE that come the production Of the camp will not be reduced to very great extent.

NEWEST OF SLAckERs
Is Person Who Encourages Buy
 ing of Platinum JeWelry.
Government Must Have Metal if War Machine Is to Be Kept
 Goinq.

Washington, D. C.-The newest type of stacker and one who is doing his country great amount of harm. Is the man or woman who buys or even encourages the purchase of platinum jewelry, according to the bureau of mines, department of the interior. For the country is and for many years will be desperately in need of the scarce and precious platinum inits industrial work and must have 1t If the war ma chine is to go full speed ahead.
 A plan proposed by the federal off, cials would stop the use of platinum in jewelry, not only for the war but for all time. Officials of the government who are in close touch with the sltua- tlon are filled with apprehension as to the future supply of platinum.
 In an effort to fill the immediate pressing needs of the government in its war program, the war industries board has ordered that 70 per cent of the stock of platinum in the hands of manufacturing jewellers be cOmman- deered and also the complete stock held by refners, importers and deal CTS, but this, It is said, will only fill small gap and that temporarily.
 It has been hoped by federal officials and chemists throughout the country who understand the seriousness of the situation that the whims of fashion might yield to national needs and that purchasers of jewelry would demand gold and silver or white alloy and so release platirMm for its highest use but the results have been disappoint' ing.
 The American Chemical society, an organization composed of the leading 12,0O0 chemists of the country, which is also back of this movement, has is sued an appeal to the people not under any circumstances either during the war or after the war to use platinum jewelry, but to conserve this unique and fast dwindling metal now priced at five times the cost of gold for the exclusive use of the chemical and other necessary industries.

RAISE GARDEN STUFF
Red Cross Establishes Truck
 Farms in France.
Supplies Recreation and Employment to convaIeseents and Increases
 Food Supply.

Paris.-With a view to supplying recreation and employment to convai- escents, and incidentally increasing the food supply, the American hed Cross has established ten truck farms In connection with base hospitals In France where, under trained supervi- sion, the convalescents are raising vegetables for consumption in the hos pitals. The number of farms will be increased during the year. the Ameri- can Red Cross supplying seed, imple- ments and trained supervision. as well as money for operating expenses.
 At one place, where there are three base hospitals together, farm of lO0 acres Is now under cultivation. though the average farm is about eight acres. Two of the larger farms are equipped with tractors. For the most part, how ever, the work Is hand labor. that the conyalescents may profit to the utmost from the outdoor exercise.
 Owing to climate conditions garden ing is an all-the-year-round occupation in France and Is carried on in most intensive way, with every inch of ground under cultivation and rows be- tween rows, as, for instance, cabbages between rows of potatoes. When plants are removed In the morning the ground is worked over during the day and by night the soil Is again at work on freshly sown seed. No charge Is made the hospitals for the produce, but accounts are kept and It is expect ed to show that the farms more than pay for the cost of operation.
 Through these gardens many French Poilus will have their first taste of the great American delicacy, "corn on the cob." A greater use of a variety of vegetables Is made In France than In America and the Red Cross Is supply ing seed for beans, beets, cabbage, caulIfiower, brussels sprouts, carrots, celery, Swiss chard, chicory, corn, cu- cumbers, leeks, lettuce, melons, mache salad, onions, parsley, peas, potatoes. parsnips, pumpkins. radishes, spinach, squash,- tomatoes, turnips, cress, fen nel and sorrel. A large amount of the last is used both as boiled vegetable and in making soup.

MOTIFS MISSION ON EARTH
Would Seem Somewhat Hard to Ex. plain, Unless It Be to Cause House
 wife Much Worry.

Here Is a life history of that frail, yellow Quarter-inch moth. Those that we see fluttering about the house are probably looking for good place to start colony. Each female moth lays about 50 eggs. She glues each one carefully to the fiber of cloth or fur, and she Is especially pleased with fuzzy fabrics, frlnges, and frayed edges where she can bury her eggs deep in the ambush of tangled threads. After she has fastened all her eggs her life work is over and she dies.
 It takes the eggs just a week to hatch. Out of each one comes a wee translucently white caterpillar which starts immediately to do damage. As 1t eats, 1t builds a gallery to live in from a sort of silk of Its own making, mingled with flores torn from the fla bric on which 1t lives. The caterpillar gnaws at your coat or your dress or your blankets for about ten weeks. Then It enlarges its feeding case to make a cocoon. Two weeks 1t sleeps in this cocoon, then the case bursts, the caterpillar comes out pale, dusty yellow moth, mates, and starts an- other destructive cycle of life.

tice. Manufacturers were threatened
in many cases Of being deprived of
contracts II they refused to negotiate
with these agents on a commission

resented that they had special infiu-
ence over members sof congress.
Other Information came to the de-
partment from manufacturers who
had been solicited by contract: COM
missfon agents located in Washington.
Tho manufacturers offered their as
sistance IN stamping out the illegal
system.
Z An immediate result Of the. dis
closures was letter sent BY Attorney

contracts, proposing that all future
contracts should contain clause

ploy any third party In negotiations
