"Hov wilhelm Held Out" Is the title
OF an article that recently appeared In
a German newspaper, the author OF
which discovered the boards OF pro-
visions which the former Emperor had
In his Berlin palace.
"The quantity" the writer says, "cx-
ceeded all expectations. In large white
tiled rooms was everything. literally
everything one can imagine In food
stuffs. II Is inconccivable that after
four years Of war such huge quantities
could be boarded. There was meat and
game In cold storage. saltcd provisions
in large cases, white meal In sacks piled
TO the roof, thousands Of eggs, gigantic
boxes filed with tea, coffee, chocolate,
lard, jelly, and jam; hundreds Of sugar
loaves and endless stacks ofpeas, beans

amount to several hundred thousand

THANKSGIVING.

After more than four years OF war, II
which millions Of the best young mer
Of the world have been slain and hun
dreds OF thousands of families have
been broken up, there is now in the
breasts OF all Americans, and OF the
people Of those friendly nations with
whom Americans have felt proud to be
associated, the swelling sense OF graft
tude to God. They all know now thai
the end of the horror is here and that
it has come through virtory.
We give thanks to God this year for
his victory, no less than for our victory
He has vindicated the principles OF
right and justice in our universe. We
thank Him for uniting the forces for
righteousness upon earth and for CIV
ing them a leader before whose genius
the greatest armed hosts ever gathered
together crumbled and fell away. We
thank Him for inspiring our armies in
the field with the resolute courage that
has made then efficient instruments
in the hands of the leader. We thank
Him for giving to the people at home
the full understanding that has made
them determined to enforce a peace
with victory. We thank Him for arons
ing in the hearts OF all the great free
peoples of the world spirit OF brother
hood that is the guarantee OF lasting
peace. For the righting Of ancient
wrongs and the unfolding of new hopes
we give our most humble and hearty
thanks this year.
Yet a day of such thanksgiving can
hardly be day of exuberant rejoicing.
1t can hardly be such a day as the
Thanksgiving days that We used to
know, when kith and kin gathered to-
gether and at the table there was no
empty chair. There are many empty
chairs this year, and many to which no
soldier will return. The shadow OF the
war lies and must long lie across many
hearths. However earnestly We give
thanks for the blessings that the victory
will confer, we cannot forget that there
is to-day more pain and sorrow in the
world than there has ever been before.
II must be with saddened hearts that
" give thanks, even those Of us who,
through fortunes chance, have been
most untouched by the war. Our
thanksgiving this year must be less per
,onal and more truly spiritual than II
las been on past Thanksgiving days.

Humming Birds In 400 Varieties.

The smallest and most brilliant in
color Of all the feathered creations are
the humming birds, and Of the 400
species none is to be found elsewhere
than in this Western Hemisphere.
The largest of these birds are no
more than eight and one-half inches
and the smallest about two and three
eigths in length. OF these the largest
are never seen this far north and the
smallest rarely. The ruby-throated
humming bird, called by Audubon "a
glittering fragment of the rainbow"
breeds from the Far Southern States as
far north as Labrador and winters from
Southern Florida to Central America,
remaining with us from May to October.
Its length is about three and one-fourth
inches.
The upper plumage is metallic green.
the male having a ruby-red gorget, a
white collar on the throat and deep
ly forked tail Of brownish violet. The
female is Of palmer colorings. The
eggs never more than two, are white
and about as large as peas. II is E
popular mistake that humming birds
feed only on the honey Of flowers. They
really for the most part feed on insects
gathered with their barbed and sticky
tongues from flowers and leaves. They
are, notwithstanding their diminutive
size, very pugnacious and will attack
birds larger than themselves, so that
the English sparrow with all his vaunt-
ed courage dare not lntrude on their
nests.
II is said that II species In all are
summer visitors to the United State;
and that one of these, "the red hum
mer," is found on the Pacific Coast az
far north as Alaska. The Brazilian
forests are noted for their many var
ieties Of these magnificent birds. though
a few specimens are Of sombre eolors.

WIN Keep Right on Building Ships.

Before sailing for Europe, Chairman
Edward N. Hurley OF the United State,
Shipping Board, issued a statement out
lining the policy Of the board on the
continued construction Of ships. The
statement, wired to the State Council Of
Defense says:
Now that the armlstice has been
signed and the end OF the war Is In
sight, statement roughly outlining the
plans of the Shipping Board Is In order.
The continued need for building Ameri
can'owned tonnage Is obvious. Not on
" must we continue to supply our
armies overseas and prepare to bring
them home at the earliest moment COM
patible with safety, but Europe must
be fed and supplied with the necessary
materials to permit the reconstruction
of devastated areas In order that both
our friends and enemies may become
self.supportlng and the burden OF feed
ing the world be taken from our
shoulders.
There are not enough ships In the
world 10 carry on this work and to pro.
vide Immediately for ordinary com.
merce. For that reason only limited
portion OF the shipping which can be
constructed by us In 1919 will be avail
able for us In the ordinary commercial
channels.
For two months the Shipping Board
has been making a complete resurvey
Of its construction program and con-
trscsA Believing that the emergency
vss yrvssuss which aeeessitated the
spsediest construction possible would
soon end, the investigation has been
with view to a replacing Of the ships
to be constructed from this date for
ward.
II Is planned that from now on ships
will be built with special reference TO
suitability for special service and with
particular reference TO the economical
cost Of operation, including the motive
power, cargo, space and speed. II Is
also planned that these shall be built
with reference TO probable trade uses
and trade lines so as to adapt them &c
particular uses and to increase the speed
Of the turn around In the ship, this be
cause every unnecessary delay In load
ing and unloading must be eliminated.

Boats With Eyes.

The Chinese have a queer custom OF
painting an eye on the bow Of boat
so that it may easily see its way through
the water. Small boats as well as large
must have an eye, and nothing must be
permitted to cover II.
There is a story Of an Englishman
who, while travelling in China, let his
feet dangle over the painted eye OF the
small boat in which he was sailing. The
owner, becoming much excited, begged
the Englishman not to interfere with
the sight of the boat while il was NOV
ing through the water.
When the first railway was built in
China, some Of the native vorkmen who
were familiar with boats wanted TO paint
an eye on the front OF the locomotive.
Such a powerful creature as that, they
said, should not be allowed)to run about
blind.

Explanation of Cause of Dreams.

Psychology offers simple explana-
tion of the ancient puzzle Of dreams,
says the New York World. To the
philosophers OF old dreams were head
breaking source Of bewilderment and
and furnished the never failing taunt
Of the skeptic: How can you tell wheth-
er you are dreaming or awake? While
this worthy question may still be asked
with perverse logic science advances a
highly plausible theory Of dreams.
Every activity, every experience is
registered in the brain as a memory,
conscious experiences as conscious
memories, unconscious experiences as
unconscious memories, which disap-
pear, things forgotten, are still retained
as unconscious memories. II We think
Of the great number of things that we
experience unconsciously-for instance,
how many people we see and do not re-
| member the next moment, and the still
greater number that we remember for
awhile and then forget, it will be ap-
parent what great quantities of uncon-
scious memories are slowed away in
the dim depths of our minds. Some
of them it is difficult to recall! but more
cannot consciously be recalled at all.
When the activities which engross
our conscious life are stilled in sleep
memories from the unconscious appear.
just as the stars shine out when the
suns obscuring brightness is gone, and
things forgotten beyond recall and
things which we experienced and never
consciously knew about, together, per
haps, with conscious memories, appear
in chaotic order, the logical restraint Of
waking hours removed.
You read a book and forget every
word of it. Years later scene from the
same book will come into your mind as
a dream; you will not recognize 1t and
will marvel where it came from. Or you
will see person casually on the street
and be perfectly unconscious OF it. But
every experience is registered in the
mind somewhere and some day you NAV
see that same person in dream. Per-
haps some Of the great store OF impress
sions 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 it.
An old lady once told the writer OF
dream she had, citing it as a comolett
justification OF her belief in spirits.
While on a shopping tour she mislaie
a valuable umbrella and for the life OF
her could not remember what she had
done with it. II worried her consider
ably and that night she had dream in
which she saw herself 20 into restau-
rant hang up the umbrella and after
eating her lunch 90 away, forgetting it.

The Gouty Disthesis.

The real big-toe gout, or acute sout
fortunately is somewhat rare in this
country; but so-called gouty manifesto
tions-chronic gout. or the equity dia'
thesis-are common enough TO cause 9
great amount OF suffering. No doubt
the same poison in the blood that pro-
duces the acute crippling Inflammation
in the great toe joint causes those ether
gouty symptoms, but just what that
poison is doctors do not know. They
used to call it uric acid. but that is the
form in which the kidneys excrete il:
the actual offending substance is prob
ably more complex body that later
becomes uric acid.
This unfriendly substance creates a
variety Of symptoms according TO the
origin or tissue upon which il exerts its
action. Thus, il may be the cause OF
eczema or other disease OF the skin,
pains in the joints, asthma, repeated at
tacks of sore throat, cold in the head,
bronchitis, dyspepsia, headache, irrit'
ability, dizziness, Inflammation OF the
eye, neutritis, Inflammation Of the blad-
der, high blood pressure and Brights
disease of the kidneys. That Is a long
list of maladies and includes most OF
the ills TO which mortal flesh 10 heif.
But there are still other troubles to Law
at the door of this unknown poison.
Renal collie, stone in the bladder, apo
pIexy and some of the diseases Of the
heart are secondary effects OF the gouty
diathesis, and many physicians regard
cancer, diabetes and excessive obesity
as owing to a fault Of the processes OF
nutrition wherein a poisonous product
is elaborated.
The treatment OF the equity diathesis
is dietetic and hygienic rather than
medicinal, although sometimes course
of drug treatment is OF great assistance
in stating the curative process. An
inquiry into the habits Of the subject
of chronic gout usually brings out the
fact that he leads sedentary. indoor
life, eats heartily, or at any rate eats
too much animal food, perhaps takes
alcohol, drinks TOO much tea or coffee
and much too little water, smokes a
great deal, overworks mentally and wor-
ries. If he does soy % sli OF those
