Modern Armor.

The soldiers Of old went forth to
fight, clad in cumbersome and expen-
Sive armor, which, while serving as
a protection, nevertheless hindered
them from putting forth their best
fighting strength. Today Martin Je-
Italian, an inventor of Rhode Island,
has made it possible for a soldier to
be protected by armor He is one Of
several dozen inventors who have re-
invented the coat of mail.
The device is a bulletproof metallic
structure, which surrounds the body
and extends from the top Of the shout
ders to below the thighs. This steel
coat consists of two like parts held
together across the chest by means
of straps Hooks attach the coat to
pieces Of metal which
fit closely about the upper part of the
leg and are fastened behind by straps.
The inner surface of the armor is
padded. The head is protected By
lined mask composed of the same
metal-Popular Science Monthly.

Cheese Easily pIqested.

Contrary to opinion held by many
people, cheddar or "Store" cheese is
not unusually indigestible or constipat-
ing. Extensive digestion experiments
conducted by the department of agri-
culture have demonstrated that more
than % per cent Of the protein in
cheese is digested and that 80 per cent
of it's energy is available. One per-
son who ate cheese as the chief source
of protein and energy, eating an aver
age Of 927 ounces daily for more than
two years, did a fair amount Of mus
cular wor; and remained in good
health.

GOT THE BANANAS
Patriotic American in Border
Town Did Extra ''Bit."
How Marching Boys in Olive Drab
Got DeIicacy Almost Under the
Eyes of the Discipline
Loving Sergeant.

It is midnight. In the border town
across the river the populace has gone
to bed. The streets are deserted and
silent save for the measured tread OF
the occasional policeman on his noe
turnal rounds. But the lights are still
glowing in the railway station on the
water front, their brightness intensi-
fed by the enveloping gloom.
A train of PullmanS rumbleS in from
the ferry dock with great jangling
of bells and creaking of wheels as the
brakes take hold. In the stiffness of
the night the racket is magnified a
thousandfold, but the town slumbers
On.
Above the incessant clang of the To-
connective bell and the hiss Of escaping
wayfarer from the States sound that
instantly claims his attention-the
rhythmic tramp, tramp, of feet, hun
dreds, thousands Of them it seems, as
the faint staccatO becomes a muff1ed
roar. There is no resisting it's lure.
The wayfarer turns in his tracks and
waits.
'Left-turn rings out the crisp
command close at hand and, with
wheel-like precision, a column of
drab rolls into view around the corner.
"Yanks, sure as I'm alive!' exclaims
the man from the States as he falls
into step and follows along the side
walk.
Yes, Yanks-Uncle Sans own
doughboys on their way to Berlin via
the western front, and out to timber
up and get a breath of fresh air while
a new engine is being hooked up.
On they come, alert, keen-eyed fell
splendid Americans all, and eager for a
brush with the Hun.
Still the town slumbers-it is accus-
toned to such sights; but to the Amer
lean, taken unaWares, it is an inspiring
thing.
Far up the street, an oasis in the
black desert of night, friendly light
beacons. AS the column approaches
the boys recognize the familiar out
lines of fruit stand. The enterprising
merchant knows all about these mid
night ''parades" and is prepared. A
thousand pairs of eyes turn hungrily
to punches of yellow bananas dangling
from their hooks, but the trim young
sergeant is looking straight ahead.
They are all business, those sergeants.
The man from the States has seen
it all it is his chance. A crisp Ameri-
can bank note quickly changes hands
and presently there is an empty hook
where a bunch of bananas hung a mo-
ment before. Magically, it seems, the
coveted fruit has found it's way into
the rear ranks. Like cork in a rough
sea the bulky thing is tossed along
from line to line, growing constantly
smaller until the bare stalk is thrown
into the gutter, leaving a hundred
bullying pockets in it's wake.
Thus did one patriotic fund sub
scriber do an extra "bit" for the boys
of the olive drab. At any rate, he
wore the patriotic fund emblem on his
coat.

Preserving Erescoes.

A novel method of preserving fres-
Goes, recently discovered by a Japan
csc, consists in coating them with thin
glass which is made to adhere
through the agency of specially pre-
pared chemicals. The new method is
said to make the frescoes proof against
the injurious action of the atmosphere.

A diversity of business interests affords
Bismarck All unusually well-rounded conf

of business which is not well represented here
by concerns which are well established and
prosperous.
Bismarck is the home of one Of the fast

ance companies in the northwest. It's devel-
opment in any other center would be regard
ed as phenomenal. In Bismarck it is con-
sidered more or less as matter Of course,
because that is the Bismarck way.
Bismarck's foundry and machinery bust
ness from a small beginning has developed
into an industry which serves the whole slope
and which has branched out into the manu-
facture of staple articles heretofore not
available this side of the Twin Cities.
Bismarck's repair shops save the whole
Slope time and money, eliminating the long
wait and the heavy express charges on ship
nlents which otherwise would have to go in
to the Twin Cities or even more distant
points.
Bismarck can do and does these things
on metropolitan scale because it has great
trade area to serve. 1t is class Of trade
which demands quality service and gets it.
