CURE FOR LITTLE AILMENTS
Real Trouble Can Usually Be Depend
ed On to Make One Forget
the Smaller Ones.

Man and animals alike, dts wonder
full what shock will do to heal our
errors and our weaknesses. The only
thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill In
an argument was a dishpan, or some
heavy, blunt instrument clouted over
his brow, and in his younger days he
was some argufer, as his scars attest.
Here is the case of the blind man in
San Rafael, CAL, who fell 40 feet Off
the roof Of his house, and found his
eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who
was bedridden for years, was the first
person to reach safety when the house
caught fire, and her bad hip has been
practically all right ever since; you
remember that crippled negro who
beat even the dogs home when the bear
charged out of the brush.
A lot of US have troubles that are
only In our minds; when we are fed a
little real trouble we forget the smaller
ones. There is, perhaps, an opening
for a sanitarium that will take a Grip
pie or an invalid and throw him off a
cliff, or crack him over the head with
brick or a crowbar-anything to wake
him up, make him forget his small
worries, and heal his diseased mind.

WALKING GOOD REMEDY

If Mrs Kuelson were addicted to

says they ought to be forgotten.
Walking is the best way to get any
where, according to Mrs. Kuelson.
And she ought to know, she's been
walking for SO years.
Recently Mrs. Kuelson just to see
how good she was, walked FIVE miles
in good time and said she didn't have
to use her second wind either"
walking will knock out a lot of
the ills that bother the average young
girl" said Mrs. Kuelson today 1--WE

Jelly has been busy with riddles.
"NowI !" she cried, and held up for pub

letters. "Beca{ Use 1t saw the sausage

"My own is much better" announced
Jelly, evidently bursting to declare 1t.
She was cordially urged to do so. "Be-
cause it saw the lemon sponge on the

umphantly. "Quite nice and COOL"
said Janet approvingly. "The vista of

Peter. "For instance, it might have

ONLY HUMAN BEINGS CRUEL
Proud Man the Sole Living Creature
Capable of Deliberately Inflictlna
Suffering on Others.

A cruel person is one who exults In
the pain, mental or bodily, suffered by
another. Cruelty has its basis in anger
(and thus is related to the combatiye
instinct), though there is a cold-blood-
ed form of cruelty which may be en-
joyed without any obtrusive feeling of
anger, Henry Campbell writes in the
Lancet, London.
Cruelty, implying as It does self
consciousness-th ability to realize
the feelings of others--is essentially a
human attribute. Children who i'm
pale frogs and eviscerate flies cannot
be said TO be cruel, for they know not
what they do. Nor are the lower ami
mails cruel, seeing that they are wholly
unconscious of the sufferings of 9TH
ers. Thus the charge of cruelty against
the carnlvora is unjust. These animals
generally destroy their victims out
right and in the rare cases (e. g., cat
and mouse) where they prolong the
suffering they have no knowledge of
the pain they are causing. When,
therefore, we stjgmatize the conduct of
the cruel man as brutal we wrong
the brutes.
The animal which attacks another,
and in so doing causes pain, merely
responds to a blind, unthinking in
stinct; but man, proud man, who looks
before and after, is able to realize and
take pleasure in the pain he deliber-
ately, and by subtle means maybe, sets
out to cause. 1t is clearly absurd to
speak of his conduct as brutal"
Rather should we call 1t devilish, the
devil usually being credited with a
goodly share of intelligence. We must
cease to libel the brutes by designat-
ing the basest acts Of man as brutal.
As a matter Of fact, they cannot be
charged with nonmoral conduct, see
ing that they are devoid Of self-con-
sciOusness.

Make Pets Of Hornhllls.

The yellow hornbill, one of the most
interesting of the species. is COM
paratively fearless bird and is easily
Killed. The male is fond Of perching
on the tiptop of tropical trees and
making noise like young puppy.
The natives in Africa find young
hornsills easily tanned. They dig the
birds out of the tree nests when quite
young and raise them on milk and
berries In their huts. When grown
the hornbill remains attached to its
foster parents and will eat out Of the
same dishes. Left free, the hornbill
comes and goes much as does pet
crow and remains about the hut I'M
til the first mating season, when 1t
goes away with one Of its kind, rare
ly to return.

BY
PRESIDENT FOR BIG
RED CROSS DRIVE

Washington, ID. c., May s.
President Wilson has issued
proclamation designating the
week beginning May 20, as Red
Gross week, and calling upon the
American people to contribute
f generously TO the second $780,
100000 war fund of the American
Red Cross for the alienation of
suffering among the American
troops in France and their de
pendents at home and among the
fighting forces and civilian popu-
lations of the allied countries.
The proclamation follows:
'Inasmuch as sthe war fund of
1917, so generously contributed by
the American people to the Amer
lean Red Cross for the admins
tration of relief at home and
abroad, has been practically ex-
hausted by appropriations for the
welfare Of the men in our military
and naval forces, and for those
dependent upon them, and for the
yet more urgent necessities OF
our allies, military and civilian,
who have long borne the brunt of
the war;
And, inasmuch as the Ameri-
can Red Cross has been recog-
nized by law and international
conventions as the public instru-
mentality for war relief;
"And, inasmuch fs the year of
our own participation in the war
has brought unprecedented de-
mands upon the patriotism and
liberality of our people, and made
evident the necessity of concen-
trating the work of relief in one
main organization which can re-
spond effectively and universally
to the needs of humanity under
stress of war;
"And .inasmuch as the duration
of the war and the closer and
closer cooperation of the Ameri-
can Red Cross with our own
army and navy, with the govern
ments of our allies, and with for
eign relief organizations have re-
suited in the discovery Of new OPP
portunities of helpfulness under
conditions which translate oppor-
tunity into duty;
And, inasmuch as the Red
Cross war council and it's COM
missioners in>Europe have faith
fully and economically admins
tered the peoples trust:
Now, therefore, by virtue of
my authority as president of the
United States and president of the
American Red Cross, |, Woodrow
Wilson, do hereby proclaim the
week beginning May 20, 1918, as
Red Cross week; during which
the people of the United States
will be called upon again to give
generously to the continuation of
the important work of relieving
distress, restoring the waste of
war and assisting in maintaining
the morale of our own troops and
the troops and peoples of our al
lies by this manifestation of eff
fort and sacrifice on the part of
those who, though not privileged
TO bear arms, are of one spirit,
purpose and determination with
our warriors.
in witness whereof, / have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the seal of the United States to
be affixed.
Done in the District of Column
bia, this fourth day of May, in
the year of Our Lord, one thous-
and nine hundred and eighteen,
