The Universal Art.

1t seems to me that teaching is the
greatest of the arts, and that every one
of US, no matter what his walk of life
may be, is engaged wiHy-nilly for a
good part of his time in teaching. Sure
ly every father and mother is engaged
In it F.; and 1 am persuaded that the vast
majority of children address them
selves to the problem of teaching their
parents that the life of their day is
wholly incompatible with the methods
of q generation past. The master who
learns how to handle men is taught by
the men he handles. The senator and
congressman in the throes of their el0-
quence are endeavoring to teach their
honorable colleagues what they take
to be wisdom, and their constituents
they endeavor to tell of their impassion-
ed patriotism. Whenever we endeayor
to persuade anyone to do as we want
him to do, we try to teach him. Teach
ing is the universal art, and the great
est of them all.-Ellwood Hendrick, in

Blue Triangle Now In
Front Line Trenches

The Blue Triangle has ventured
into the first line trenches almost in
to No Mans Land.
Two Y. w. c. a. secretaries were
recently invited as official guests Of
the French Ministry of the Interior
to visit the front line trenches,
special concession granted in appra-
citation for their work in foyer
or clubhouse at a munitions plant
near the lines.
The trip lasted for six days. Ey-
erywhere they were entertained by
French officials and this is what they
write about it:
"Alsace is the most beautiful
country, especially in the mountain
section. We went over the noun
tains into the camps of defense,
where our boys are just getting ia
der fire. We saw the German lines
from observation posts in the noun
tains.
While we were there Smelling was
going on just below us and two aero
planes were having battle as we
rode over the mountain. One morn
ing early our anti-craft guns brou-
ght down a German plane, which fell
near where we were. Both Germans
were taken prisoner.
Later we visited the plain dis
tricts in Alsace and we went through
the trenches to the last outpost and
could have stepped into No Mans
Land. Luckily the shells the Ger
mans fired fell beyond where we
were. But it was exciting enough
as it was.
II visited the graves of our boys,
fallen at the front, and put flowers
ON them, and visited the hospitals as
well.
ION the last day Of the trip we
were invited to a big celebration and
sat on the platform with the general
when he reviewed the troops. After
wards we had our pictures taken by
the Army Record Photographer, as
being the only American women
present. There was banquet for us
that evening"

TURKS PROFANE HOLY PLACE
Mount Sinai Disfgured by All Sorts Of
Markings of Spots That Christians
Hold Sacred.

He must be an unimaginative man,
whatever his creed, who can ascend
Sinai without IA thrill of reverence.
Here was given the law that is in.
Scribed on the countless tablets Of
half a world, the maXims that have
ruled much of the lives of billions of
men and women for thousands of
years. The barren grandeur of the
peaks, the rocky difficulty of the as
cent, are pitched in the proper key.
Unfortunately. the Moslem rulers of
the region have cluttered up the
neighborhood of the mount itself with
all manner of childish legends and
authentic" relics. Orientally toler-
ant, they have not only accepted the
Jewish traditions of the spot, which
have become u part of their great ri
val religion, Christianity; they have
added To them and oyerlaid them with
all manner of crude superstition.
Thus they will show you the very
rock where the children of Israel set
up the golden calf, and another COM
monplace bowlder which is guaranteed
to be the one smitten by Moses when
the wandering Hebrews were thirsty.
Exhibit c is the rock on which Moses
broke the first tablets in his anger.
Then there is a garden with a chap
ell, inclosing the spot where Elijah was
fed by the ravens. A second chapel in
the garden is sacred to Moses. Near
by is d Moslem relic in the shape of q
rock which bears the footprint of Mo-
hammed's camel, a sort of legendary
fossil. Even in Christian monastery
this somewhat primitive insistence on
marking the concrete spot where re-
ligious history was made seems to per-
sist, for you will be shown an altar
which is said to be erected over the
site Of the burning bush.

Bulb Culture Once a Craze.

Bulb culture in Europe has had
particularly interesting history. The
tulip, for instance, has been popular
in European gardens for about three
centuries, and prior to that time 1t
was cultivated for many centuries by
the Turks. Near the close of the six
teenth century the tulip was intro
duced TITO Holland and the popularity
of the pant increased so rapidly that
by 1884 1t had become craze. For
number of years the widest speeula-
ton prevailed in tulips and enormous
prices were paid for rare bulbs. Five
hundred dollars was not an unusual
amount TO pay for a choice tulip, and
such bulbs as the famous Semper Au-
gustus brought more than $4,000
apiece.

Save The 90 Discount
On County Taxes
During September.

The ) per cent. discount period having
expired on the 1st instant, this Office desires
to express to county taxpayers, and the pub
lie generally, its appreciation of the spIen-
did spirit of cooperation, as evidenced by
the payment during the month of August, of
nearly one-half of the entire Levy for 1918,
both State and county.
The total collections for the month are
S12S,255, and the record should be most
gratifying to all interested tn the welfare of
the county.
To those taxpayers who were unable to
take advantage of the August discount, we
call attention to the per cent. discount on
county taxes allowable during September.

First Use of Chimney.

During the Middle Ages the princi-
pal advance made in heating was made
through the Introduction of chimneys
into private dwellings. They were first
introduced into France in the eighth
century, but were rare and did not
come into common use until several
hundred years later. In Poland during
the early part of the modern period
houses were heated in winter by means
of q kiln built into the room, but which
was fred from the outside. In order
to keep warm the family slept not only
around the sides of the kiln but also
on top of it.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS
 OF HOT WATER Wash the poIsons and toxins from system before putting more
 food Into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb impuri- ties into the blood, causing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach, nearly an ounce of waste material must be car ried out Of the body. If this waste material is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts which which should suck only nour- ishment to sustain the body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink before breakfast each day, a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it, which is a harmless Sway to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 A quarter pound of limestone phos- phate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on nside-bathing- Adv.

NO GOLD FOR XMAS PRESENTS

The request of gold coin at the banks to make Christmas gifts will not avail this year any more than last. The banks have been enjoined by the Federal Reserve Bank to re- fuse to disburse gold coin across their counters.
 In the first place the Federal Re serve Board, in a circular letter, says that there is still some objection to the use of gold coin for Christmas gifts for the reason that they are not yet through with war financing and the problems that grow out of the war and reconstruction will be a live one for some years to come. At the present time there is a world wide movement to discourage the use of gold coin as a circulating medium.
