SETTLED QUESTION OF VOTE
Decision of English Registrar Almost Worthy to Rank With That Made
 Famous by Solomon.

Not since the days of Solomon, per haps, has a more perplexing problem confronted a judge than that recently presented to an election registrar in England. A certain voter possessed house which stood half in one parish and half in another. The question consequently arose as to in which par ish, or whether not, indeed, in both, the householder was entitled to vote. After some discussion a ray of light was vouchsafed to Solomon. In which parish, he demanded, was the mans bedroom? Unfortunately, in both. Then was it that Solomon stood fully | revealed; the infant, of mature years, 1 should be cut in twain. The parish
 in which the head of the bed stood should have the honor of the vote.
 Which is all very well, except that there are many voters whose feet take them to the polling booth, but whose heads are no good when they get there.
 Does not the Italian proverb say, If
 man has not head he should have
 feet. et."-Christian Science Monitor.

FROM MINDS SECRET PLACES
Come the. Materials for Dreams Which Sometimes One Finds So Hard
 to Explain.

You read a book and forget every word of it. Years later a scene from the same book will come into your mind as a dream; you will not recog- nize it and will marvel where it came from. Or you will see a person casual ly on the street and be perfectly un- conscious of it. But every experience is registered in the mind somewhere, and some day you may see that same person in a dream. Perhaps some of the great store of impressions hidden away in your unconscious mind will come to the surface in a dream in such a way that you will feel that there is something mysterious about 1t.
 An old lady once told the writer of a dream she had, citing 1t as a com plete justification of her belief in spirits. While on shopping tour she nislaid a valuable umbrella, and for the life of her could not remember what she had done with it. It worried her considerably, and that night she had dream in which she saw herself go into a restaurant. hang up the um- brella, and after eating her lunch go away, forgetting tt.-New York World.

MANY LIVES SAVED
 IN MINNESOTA FIRE

Heroic devotion to duty on the part of Red Cross workers in northeastern Minnesota saved hundreds of lives, soothed untold pain and fed, housed and comforted tens of thousands of homeless refugees in the awful forest fires which devastated district of 160 square miles.
 The Duluth Red Cross immediately formed a committee, opened the armo- ", the churches and the courthouse as a temporary refuge for the victims. The canteen service in Duluth and also in Superior, Wisconsin, served hot meals. The First Aid Department of the Nursing Service had physicians and nurses ready to meet all the in coming trains, and the Motor Corps secured all the roads leading out of Duluth, bringing In hundreds of peo- pie who were exposed to extreme peril, and worked for 24 hours without pause for rest.

King Victim of Ills Own Jest.

Probably the greatest admirer of perfumes among the old Asiatic mon- archs seems to have been Antiochus Epiphanes the Qlustrious, king of Sy- ria, according to Don Martin, who has gone into this perfumery question for the Los Angeles Times. At all An tiochus' feasts, games and processions perfumes held the premier place. The king was once bathing in the public baths, when some private per son attracted by the fragrant odor which he shed around. accosted him, saying: "You are a happy man, o king, you smell in a most costly man. her."
 Antiochus, being much pleased with the remark, replied: q will give you as much as you desire of this per fume." The king then ordered large ewer of thick unguent to be poured on the 1atterer's head and multitude of poor people soon collected around to gather what was spilled. This caused the king infinite amusement but it made the place so greasy that he slip ped and fell on his back in a most un- dignifed manner, which put an end to his merriment.

SHORT BUT EVENTFUL LIFE
Marie Pauline Ronaparte Crowded Many Adventures Into Her Few
 Years of Fortunes Smiles.

Marie Pauline Ronaparte was one of the numerous family of brothers and sisters If the great Napoleon. She was quite the most beautiful of the girls and the gayest in nature two qualities that endeared her to her nlustrious brother, but that also brought her more or less into trouble.
 Like the rest of them, she was born In Ajaccio and shared the rise of the family fortunes. When she was sev- enteen she married one of Nap0leon's staff officers, General Le Clerc, and went to live at St. Domingo. He died fin 1SO2 and, as young widow, a mere girl of twenty-twO, she came to enjoy the society of Paris. She was exceed ingly popular, had her portrait done as Venus reclining on a couch after the artistic fashion of the times), and married the Prince Borghese. She went to Rome with him, but tired of it there and went back to her beloved Paris. Various escapades started gos- sip about her-especiaHy her rather ofrhand treatment of Marie Louise, which caused her removal from court
 This sobered her a bit, and she ac comcanied her brother in his first exile to Elba and begged, after his overthrow, to live with him at St Helena. But this request was denied her and she died in her favorite city Paris, of cancer. She was about forty-fve and still young looking ant exceedingly beautiful.

Monarch's Costly Whim.

King Alfonso's ruined palace of San ndefonso at La Granja is one of the freaks and one of the glories of Spain. It was Bourbon monarch who invent ed ft-at the beginning of the eigh- teenth century. Philip v was out hunt ing one day and rested at sunny farm called the Grange, occupied by monks. The monks had humOred the noun tain upon whose slopes the farmhouse was built and had made their beautiful gardens conform to the ways of the giant.
 But the king compelled the noun tain to obey him. He blasted smooth places on preGpitous slopes, carry ing away thousands of tons of earth and stones, and from the valley be- low he brought up miles of fertile earth to form new fields and gardens. By the time he had finished creating new landscape and filling the new Versailles with the best pictures his taste suggested, Philip was ready to die in debt to the tune of 45,000000 pesetas. For that Is the sum which the monarch spent on San udefonso.

The Tomato in History.

Edward Albes of the Pan-Amorican union, in discussing the matter of the tomato, said a number of years ago that the word tomato" seems to be of Aztec origin, and given as "tomatl' by some authorities and as fxtomate" by others. The word still persists in some of the older Mexican town names, as, for examples, "Tomatian" and "Tomatepec." The weight of opinion among historical botanists is that the plant and culture for edible purposes began in Peru, whence 1t spread to other parts of tropical America. It is known that 1t was cul- tlvated for its fruit in the warm cli- mates of America centuries before the coming of Columbus to this con- tinent.

R. 6. COOKING "HITSO
 FRANCE JUST RIGHT
Expert Dietitians Devise PaIata- bIe Menus for Soldiers in
 Hospitals and Canteens.

France is much interested h Ameri- can cooking, which is truly a gratify- ing compliment to a nation which prints its fashionable menus mostly in French. The two hundred and more American Red Cross canteens G0tting both the French and American lines of communication have been a success with the Poilu as well as the Tank, and that well known French Organiza- ton for the wounded, known as the Bien-Etre du Blesse, has opened number of model kitchens in French hospitals, usually in charge of anna teur dledt1ans, who consult a profes- sionaI dletitian provided Dy the Amer ican Red Cross, who goes about among these hospitals and offers sug gestions and advice.
 Three hundred trained dietitians are now in service In hospitals, canteens or kitchens on Red Cross hospital trains in France. The American Ex- peditionary Force took with 1t train- ed dietitian for each base hospital. These women are civilian employees of the Army, recruited through the Bureau of Dietitian Service of the American Red Cross.
 Red Croes Model Farms.
 For the double purpose of providing AnArrnh R,.oph v,atIIr ond O h1Ro for sick soldiers in hospitals and well sol diers in canteens and providing health ful outdoor exercise for the patients well along in their cOnvalescence the Red Cross has established a number ot farms and dairies in connection with hospitals, Besides their great practi- cal value they have given an enormous amount of entertainment to the men The French government, more than in terested, has loaned some thousands of cows, and altogether it is a scheme which appeals to everybody.
 But 1t is not alone for the soldier! that the Red Cross does some of iti thinking in terms of cooking and food stuffs. The Bureau of DIehtlan Serv ice has helped to solve the food prob lem of civilian refugees.
 The American Red Cross in Franc thinks in terms of huge figures, mar Yelous systems of transportation, ton of shipping space, and it also thinks Il terms of the white of egg or orang juice for one single boy. That is wh. 22.000,0O0 people Lave affiliated them selves with the American Red Cros and why Christmas this year in tn United States Is marked by the Ret Cross Christmas Roll Call.

It's dangerous policy to consider yourself above the other mans mes sage. If you're so superior your fel- lows will never be con- ent to let you sit in silence.

The Mule.

To our mind the one breathing thing in creation that has been the most cruelty maligned is the mule. No more hard-Working creature walks the earth; none with a more faithful past record; none now more in demand in the worlds service. What would we do in this war without the mule? What can we do without him after the war is over? Still he is despised and kick ed around worse than though he were a hound dog. It is a shame. In the readjustment of things, let us right this wrong and, if we have anything to say to the mule, let us say it to his face, which is wiser than saying it to his hecls.-Los Angeles Times.

 Washington, D.

 Ip order that the people of the Unit ed States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Pub lie Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of spe ciaI precautions at the present time.

 The Surgeon General warned espS- cially against certain danger signs, such as decline" and "colds which hang on."
 These, he explained, were often tie beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly, if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculo- sis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuber- culosls Is curable in the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuber-

Washington, D. C.-With the subsid- ence of the epidemic of influenza the attention of health officers Is directed to pneumonia, bronchitis and other diseases of the respiratory system which regularly cause a large number of deaths, especially during the winter season. According to Rupert Blue, Surgeon General of the United States Public Health Service, these diseases will be especially prevalent this win ter unless the people are particularly careful to obey health instructions.
 "The present epidemic" said Sur geon General Blue, has taught by bit ter experience how readily a condition beginning apparently as a slight cold may go on to pneumonia and death. Although the worst of the epidemic is over, there will continue to be a large number of scattered cases, many of them mild and unrecogniZed, which will be danger spots to be guarded against" The Surgeon General likened the present situation to that after great fire, saying, "No fire chief who understands his business stops playing the hose on the charred debris as soon as the flames and visible fire have dis appeared. On the contrary, he con- tinues the water for hours and even days, for he knows that there is dan ger of the fire rekindling from smol- dering embers."
 "Then you fear another outbreak of inf1uenza?" he was asked. "Not neces- sarily another large epidemic said the Surgeon General, "but unless the people learn to realize the seriousness of the danger they will be compelled to pay a heavy death toll from pneumo- mia and other respiratory diseases.
 Common Colds Highly Catching.
 "It Is encouraging to observe that 1 people are beginning to learn that or l dinary coughs and colds are highly catching and are spread from person 1 to person by means of droplets of | germ laden mucous. Such droplets are sprayed into the air when careless or ignorant people cough or sneeze with out covering their mouth and nose. It l is also good to know that people have learned something about the value o1 i fresh air. In summer, when people are largely out of doors, the respira tory diseases Coughs, colds, pneumo mia, etc.) are infrequent; in the fall as people begin to remain indoors, tht respiratory diseases increase; in the winter, when people are prone to stay in badly ventilated, overheated rooms the respiratory diseases become very | prevalent.
