Hooverized Country Breakfast.

Excerpt from the Hooverized food
experience of the man who edits the
missouri Notes" column in the Kan
sas City Times:
"The friends who entertained us
warned us that they were living very
frugally and proved the assertion at
every meal. For example, for bpeak-
fast one morning we had nothing but
cereal and real cream, homemade
sausage, fried potato cakes, stewed
fruit, hot biscuit, two kinds Of pre-
serves and coffee. The menu for the
next morning, as announced the night
before, was nothing but waffles, and
that's all they had with the exception
of bacon and eggs and few little side
dishes. We Mortified our hostess that
morning by eating only % waffies. Our
allotment was 81, and she said it was
not to clean the platter"

EVERY OTHER FIELD KILLED
So Phoenix Pioneer Could Do Moth.
ing Less Than Set Up as
Painter and Decorator.

Phil Snodgrass former resident, is
visiting Phoenix and refreshing the
memories Of the few old-timers who
remain, the Arizona Republican states.
Most of them had forgotten the names
and even the existence of many of the
residents of more than a generation
ago. Mr.. Snodgrass recalls them all
and has asked about them. He re-
members landmarks that long since
have disappeared and were forgotten
by those who had become familiar
with the buildings that had taken their
places.
The coming of Mr. Snodgrass has
revived many incidents connected with
the lives of the old-timers. III. r. Pat
rick, of course, was here then, having
completed the excavation of the Grand
canyon. Having nothing else to do,
he was awaiting on the site of Phoenix
for civilization to come and pre-
empt it.
Mr.. Patrick was then, as now,
civil engineer. His leveling rod had
seen rough times and needed paint
ing. About that time p. G. Bicknell
appeared on the scene and advertised
himself as a decorative painter. He
undertook to paint the rod. When Mr..
Patrick received it back he had lev
cling rod unlike any other in exist"
ence. He felt sure that that was the
first one Bicknell had ever seen.
Though Mr.. Patrick had paid So for
the decoration, he made no complaint,
but reprinted it himself after a fash
ion, so it would do.
Years afterWard Patrick and Bick-
nell met in a saloon in Wickenburg
and in talking over old times both be-
came quite frank and outspoken.
"You remember" asked Patrick,
that leveling rod you painted for me?"
Bicknell remembered it very well.
"Well," said Patrick, "what in the
devil induced you to hold yourself out
to the public as a painter? Why didn't
you advertise as a minister of the
gospel or the car of Russia? ?"
"I'll tell you," replied Bicknell, II

seemed to be represented except that

American Proves Grit.

When an American is told that any
thing is impossible his impulse is to
try to do it without delay. For this
reason no one will be astOnished,
though everyone will be interested, in
the story of a member of the Ameri-
can Aviation corps in France who was
disciplined by having his machine ta-
ken away from him temporarily be-
cause he had used it in looping the
loop-a dangerous evolution, on ac-
count of it's peril forbidden to be at
tempted in this machine. While, "well
up In the blue" the aviator had start
ed to perform the feat and made five
graceful loops in descending to the
ground. His commanding officer clos
ed his reprimand by asking, "Why did
you do it?" and the aviator replied, "a
Frenchman told me it could not be
DONE" 1t was not unnatural that this
explanation made favorable impress
sion on the officer, and that he related
it with admiration in proof of the fine
spirit of the fellows the United States
is sending across the Atlantic to hold
up Uncle Sans end of the world war

SLOWER THAN CITY COUSIN
Country Youngster In Army Found to
Be Possessed of Much Less
Initiative and Speed.

American officers are making pre-
cisely the same comment as to the city
boy versus the country boy that the
British officers made when the first
green regiment came to the continent,
says q correspondent in France. The
country boy is a heavier, stronger, but
also q slower lad than his city cousin.
"City life sharpens the WITS" is the
British conslusion. ''The city boys
adapt themselves to this devilish life
more rapidly than the country boys
do. They are just as hardy, too, and
soon pick up the little outdoor tricks
that so many country boys have learn
ed on hunting and fishing trips. The
city youngster has more initiative and
more speed"
as he gamer" asked.
"There are no gamer regiments In
the British army than the cockneys,"
was the reply.
Americans find the country boy
needs more watching and caring for
than the recruit from the city. His
morale and behavior are far better,
but he does not adapt himself quickly
to his new environment.

WHY GOLF GAME is POPULAR
One Sport Where Individual Is Su-
preme and Mistakes of Opponent
Do Not Assist.

Golf is the one game where the In
dividual is supreme. No matter how
poorly one man plays, the other can
not win unless he himself plays better.
The mistakes of one player do not
themselves rid the other unless he
avoids making the same or other err
rors.
The tennis player scores when the
other player drives out of bounds or
into the net. The football team tai
lies when the punt is dropped or the
ball is fumbled. A dropped fly ends
many baseball game when victory
seems sure for the other side. And so
on in every sport but one, and that
is golf.
If the one golfer drives out of
bounds or tops his drive or shoots into
trap the other man benefits not at all
unless he plays better golf.

no NOT CARE ABOUT WEIGHT
Jim Corbett Conceded Thirty-Four
Pounds to John l.. Sullivan and
Beat Him by CleVerness.

Corbett conceded "a pounds to John
L. Sullivan and beat him, for the rea-
son that Corbett was so clever the
larger man could not land his famous
knockout blow and was gradually worn
down by the speed of the lighter box
er.
Fitzsimmons was about 20 pounds
lighter than Corbett but won through
strategy and hard punching.
Fitz gave way much more weight to
rugged chaps like Sharkey, Rubin and
others, but had no difficulty in proving
that the bigger they are the 'arder
they fall
At the same time, given two men
equal in hitting and science. neither
can concede much weight to his oppo-
nent.

NO ROMANCE IN HIS SOUL
Man Who Could Destroy Little Wife's
Illusion as He Did, Didn't De-

"John," she asked, nesting up to
him, for it was the third anniversary
Of their marriage, what was the hap

"Ah, DEAR" he replied, II remember
1t we'll. I shall never forget it. If I
lived to be one hundred years old that
moment would always stand out as
plainly as it does tonight"
She sighed and nestled little clos
er, looking longingly up into his honest
blue eyes. After moments silence
she urged: Eyes, but, John, dearest,
you haven't told me when it was"
"Oh," he answered. Il thought you
had guessed it. It was when you
came to me in the autumn, if you re-
member, and told me that you had de-
cided to trim up one Of your old hats
so as to make it do for the winter"

Not the Same.

A fledgling author at the Century
club in New York drew forth a manu-
script and volunteered to read it to
Robert w. Chambers, the popular
novelist.

colored nanny, don't you? He be-

Says Dodd's Kidney pills,
Wonderful Remedy

Mrs Della Olson, of New London, Wis,
like many others, knows after experience
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills that
they are uneXcelled. Here is what Mrs.
Olson recently wrote US:
II suffered with rheumatism for years.
There was gravel deposit in the urine
and I had frequent headaches. had
dark circles around my eyes and was al
ways tired. 1 bought box of your Dodd's
Kidney Pills and am glad did, for Sc
cured quick relief and think they are q
wonderful remedy"
Mighty few people realize in time that
kidney trouble is making it's advances up
on their health. They put off treatment
they say, ooh, I'll be all right in day or
two" And the malady tightens its grip.
Result: Bright's Disease, hospital treat
ment, doctors bills-often death.
When you have backache; dizziness, pain
in loins, stiffness in STOPPING or lifting,

lions, rheumatic pains or swollen joints:
Immediately start toning the kidneys by

TRAGEDY OF Childhood.

Nothing is more despicable than to
deceive a child in any way. Their plas-
tic young minds receive and hold inn
pressions that we can'never eradicate.
try we ever so hard. In spite of all
the grownups can say the little ones
never feel the same love and respect
for those who have deceived them.
Even careless funmaking may leave
the scar which nothing can quite eradi-
cate. Do not break a promise to a
child, and do not lie to it, even in fun,
for the great tragedy of childhood is
to lose faith.

ROWING OUTLOOK
is QUITE GOOD
Will Occupy Position of Impor-
tanCe in Athletics.
CORRECT FORM OF EXERCISE
Both Indoor and Open Water Training
for Oarsmen of Various Eastern
CoIIeges--Regattas Under
Certain Conditions.

by c. HALSTED MAPES, Chairman
Board of Stewards, Intercollegiate Row
ing Association.)
While it is still too early to state
definitely the outlook for competitive
rowing during the coming season,
feel confident that the sport will oc-
cupy a position Of importance in the
athletic activities of the Eastern col
leges in 1918. AS a means of physical
development and recreation, rowing
has always held a deserved proml-
nence in the athletic life of the under
graduate. There is, moreover, under
the present conditions, an additional
and pressing need for continuation OF
the upbuilding of the cOllegian Dotn
from a bodily and mental standpoint.
| know of no better form Of exercise
to help to achieve this than rowing
with it's demand for a perfect co-ordl-
nation of mind and body in the indl-
vidual oarsman and the crew as a
whole.
To Continue Rowing.
That this is thoroughly realized by
those in charge Of athletics at the va
rious colleges, which have sent crews
to both Poughkeepsie and New London
in recent years, is shown by the plans
to continue rowing, even though in a
modified form, during the coming sea-
son. There will be both indoor and
open water training for the oarsmen
at Columbia, Cornell, Pennsylvania,
Yale, Harvard and Syracuse. Inter-
class and college regattas will be held
and under certain conditions there is a
possibility of some intervarsity compe-
tition, although not upon as important
scale as that which marks college
rowing in normal times.
Interest in Sport.
Fall practice was held at a majority
of the institutions which have support
ed crews in the past and reports from
all these centers indicate that the stu
dents evinced marked interest in the
sport, when the number of unusual ac-
tivities which are now a part of regu-
lar college work are taken into con-
sideratiOn. That this same interest
and enthusiasm will continue through
out the winter and increase with the
coming of spring appears quite certain.
Rowing will be supported so long as it
does not interfere with the more i'm
portant duties of the undergraduate in
his relation to his college and the
country at large, and those in charge
of the sport can be counted upon to
see the danger line is not overstepped.
