HOSPITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

1t is apparently beginning TO be
realized throughout the town that the
plan for the acquisition of the addi-
ltional land Immediately adjacent to
the hospital is a necessity in view of
the fact that the property has been
taken on an option which allows its
purchase now at an unusually reason
able figure. IL is for this purpose that
the fund was started and is Icing
pushed. The figure for which the
property can now be bought for the
hospital is one that would not come
anywhere near securing the lot later.
land in that fact lies the need for the
people coming to the front now-or
never
The institution, through It's great ben
efits has already outgrown the daily.
weekly and monthly demands upon il,
and the need of ward for contagious
diseases, and one for the handling of
maternity cases, is steadily becoming
more pressing. To establish these
needed additions TO the hospital i'm the
future will positively require the land
which the present fund is being raised
to acquire.

NATURE HAS STRANGE LAWS
Experiments With Tiny Animals and Insects Reveal Interesting Data
 on Color Inheritance.

Fruit flies, mice, guinea pigs, rats, chickens, pigeons, fish and other small animals now teach many facts about natures laws to students of expert mental breeding. Knowledge of hered- ity today is largely based on study of inheritance of color, and many inter esting experiments with tiny animals and insects are being carried on at the University of Wisconsin.
 Small animals are studied in this research to shorten the time of expert ment. More generations of guinea pigs or mice can be studied in a year than could be studied in a decade if the subjects were cattle. If a pair of fruit flies are stoppered in a bottle, 14 days later hundreds will be swarming in- side. And, as some have white eyes and some have red, much may be learned from them about color inheri- tance.
 The direct relation of color to in heritance is shown by the fact that if a red-eyed male fly and white-eyed female be mated, the sons will have white eyes and the daughters will have red eyes. On the other hand, if a white-eyed male and a red-eyed female be mated, all offspring will have red eyes. This is the same principle on which color blindness is inherited in mankind. Similar experiments with mice of various colors teach other facts of color inheritance.

CAMP AT BRINK OF VOLCANO
Soldiers in Hawaii Select Site Which Is Declared to Be Ideal for Miii-
 tary Operations.

Containing an area of more than 5O acres, situated at the brink of Kilauea, the greatest active volcano in the world, at 4,OO0 feet elevation, a better site for Hawaii's new military camp could not have been selected in the opinion of prominent United States army officials, says Hawaiian Topics. The camp was laid out and the build- ings designed by officers of the regular army. Already a commodious head quarters for officers and several build ings for members of the several compa- nies are completed. The camp is equipped with stone fireplaces, dining room and kitchens. At present 1t is designed that officers and men sleep in tents, except when the number does not exceed four companies. Daily de- livery of stores and food is possible.
 Tramping on the roads and trails and across country about the camp Is a constant delight. The camp site Is so situated that woolen clothing can be worn with comfort. It is hoped that members of the Hawaii National Guard, the United States army and navy will make the fullest use and reap the greatest pleasure by a visit to the camp. It has been pointed out that one of the urgent needs of the Ha- waiian posts is opportunity for relief from the deadly monotony of daily life at the barracks, in the shape of vaca- tion and health recruiting station.

WorId,s eoTd ProductIon.

The worlds production of gold, from 1492 to 1917, is estimated at $16,6OO,- 100000, while the production in the United States was $3,925,000,OOO, or about g per cent of the worlds pro duction in that period, according to a compilation of the foreign trade de- partment of the National City bank. The 6,6O0,OOO,O00 worth of gold is not to be taken as a measure of the quantity of gold now available for cur rency purposes. The worlds consump- ton of gold for industrial purposes alone now exceeds $175,OO0O0O a year, to say nothing of the loss by abra- sion and the amount hoarded. As re- suit, the worlds present stock of gold money is about $S.5O0,OOO,O0O, or but little more than one-half of the actual value of gold known to have been pro- duced since the discovery of America.

''I had a bad spell with my stomach about six months ago, and was troubl- ed for two or three weeks with gas and severe pains in the pit of my stomach. Our druggist advised me to take Chamber lain's Tablets.

JAPAN VERY BADLY CROWDED
Emigration Not Mere Convenience, as With European Nations, but
 an immediate Necessity.

The area of the United States is nearly twenty-five times that of Ja- pan, but the population of Japan is almost SiX-tenths that of the United States. Within an area smaller than California, Japan has population of 9 times greater density. To every square mile of the FIoWery Kingdom there is a population of 37O souls almost five times that of China. And the inhabitants of Japan are increas- ing at the rate of S5O,OOO a year, Such are some of the facts, substantiated by works of reference as authoritative as the Encyclopedia Britannica.
 Before the present war the problem of congested population in Europe found solution either in emigration or in colonization overseas; after the war the problem will be less acute. Amer ica opened it's doors to Europe-and besides this outlet, all the great Euro pean powers had colonies in other hemispheres.
 But whereas with European nations, emigration was a convenience. with Japan it is growing and immediate necessity. In all Pan-America, with the exception of Mexico, Asiatics are unwelcOme. Australia has shut her doors against Asiatic emigration. In northern China there are large tracts of land not so thickly populated, but the European world holds Jealous fn- terests in this area.

Derivation of neermany.D

"German'' and "Germany" come from the Latin Germanicus and Germania, which were the Roman names for the Germans and their country. The words are supposed to be from Celtic root which some say meant "shouters" and others say meant 'neighbors." The Germans call themselves 'Deutsch," which is from the same root as 'Dutch" and "Teuton." The root meant "of the people" or belonging to the people" and may have been the re suit of an effort to put into barbarian tongue the Greek word ethnikos, mean ing the same thing, "of the people" or racial" The relation between "Deutsch" and 'Teuton" is more easily seen when we consider that "Deutsch" used to be spelled 'HTeutsch."

The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report on prots stated that the five large meat packers have been proteerng and that they have monopoly of the market.
 The conclusions if fair and ust matters of serious concern not only to those engaged in the meat packing business but to every other citizen of the country The figures given on profits are misleading and the state ment that the packers have monopoly is unsupported by the facts
 The packers mentioned the report stand ready prove their profits reasonable and necessary
 The meat business one of the largest American indus tries. Any citizen who would familiarze himself with its details must be prepared for large totals. The report states that the aggregate profits of four large packers were $14O 900, ,OOO for the three years The sum is compared with $19OOO,OOO the average annual profit for the three years before the war; making it appear that the war profit was $121 OOO greater than the pre-war profit.
 This compares three-year profit with oneyear profit manifestly unfair method of comparison It is not only misleading but the Federal Trade Commission ap parently has made mistake in the figures themselves.
 ~
 The aggregate threeyear profit of $14O,OOOOOO earned sales of over four and half billion dollars. It about three cents on each dollar of sales-or a mere fraction of cent per pound of product. Packers profits negligible factor in prices of live stock and meats No other large business is conducted upon such small margins of profit.
 Furthermore this is very important small portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The balance has been put back the businesses It bad be, you realize when you consider the problems the packers have had to sove-and solve quickly during these war years
 To conduct this business in mes with higher costs and the necessity of paying two three times the former prices for live stock has required the of two three times the ordinary amount of working capital The ad ditiOnal profit makes only fair return this and
