First ApnendieltIs Operation.

There was a time when appendi-
citis was quite a fashionable disease.
In some parts of Europe is was known
as the american disease" The first
operation for appendicitis was per-
formed at st. Luke's hospital, Denver,
Colo. in January, 1885. A young woI11-
an residing In Davenport, Ia, had the
distinction of being the first person TO
have the troublesome VerIniforIn ap-
pendix removed. The operation, neces-
sarily, was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent, and the patient was SO in
formed, but she piuckily declared her
willingness TO submit to the knife as a
last resort. It was not until about two
years later that another operation of
this kind was performed. Since then
thousands of such operations have
been performed in every hospital in
the world.

BIBLE WITHIN REACH or ALL
May Be Well Described as the Most
Valuable and Cheapest Book
In the World.

The Bible Is the most valuable and
the cheapest book in the world. It's
value we all acknowledge, but did you
know that you could buy complete
Bible of 1000 double pages for 80
cents in Germany and IL cents in Eng
land and the United States? And
copies Of the New Testament are sold
in England for a penny apiece!
In the thirteenth century fine Eng
fish Bible cost ESQ.
At that time the wages of laborer
were nine pence week. So to buy
Bible he must save his entire In
come for Is years.
OF course he didn't. He went to the
churches, where the precious volume
was chained to the desk to keep 1t
safe, and there he read the exciting
Old Testament stories or the beauti-
full Gospels, or more likely listened to
a reader who was better educated
than he.
In those days the Bible was val
liable in every way, Today a work
man may buy the New Testament by
walking home one night instead of
taking the car, or giving up the potato
he had planned for his dinner.-From
the World Outlook.

MOTHER HAD REASONED WELL
Decision That Combined Strict Justice
and knowledge of the Child
Character.

MY child and my sisters two chill
dren were playing in the room next to
where my sister and / were talking.
Presently her older boy came in and
said that the others were bothering
him. He was building railroad and
they took his things; would mother
please make them stop? To my sur
prise. she said surely she would; it
was too bad they bothered him, and
she called them In with us, and when
she had started them playing there
she quietly closed the door between the
two rooms. In a moment it opened,
and the young railroad builder said he
did not care about having the door
shut, he only did not want to be both
cred. But the mother answered that
she could not keep the little folks hap
py If they saw him with all the things;
the door would have to stay shut. Ev-
cry little while, for half an hour or so,
on one excuse or another, that door
came open, and just as surely a rea-
son was given why it must be kept
shut. Then the law Of the Kingdom,
the Spirit in Man, worked; every one
knows what would happen. The boy
came where we were. and leaning
against his mother, had a treble in his
voice as he said: stT'd rather stay in
here; it's lonesome in there and I
don't care about the things"
She had not told him he was wrong,
but it was just as the inventor said:
IF you understand the case and the
law governing 1t, any one can tell What
will happen. Certain things always
work certain ways"-Eleanor Scott
Sharples, in the Philadelphia Ledger.

FARMS FOR u. S. FIGHTERS
Secretary Lane Anticipates Big Back
to-SoiI Movement.

Washington, June 12.-Anticipating
widespread back-to-the.farm move
ment among soldiers returning from
the war, Secretary Lane in a letter to
the president asked that a S2,000000
fund be placed at the disposal of the
interior department for a survey of
lands capable of being reclaimed as
soldier homes. Reclamation Of over
flow and swamp land in the Mississippi
valley and Of cutover or timber lands in
the Great Lakes states was suggested
as a means, but Secretary Lane admits
there is not the bountiful public do
main of the SOS and '70s, when the
returning Civil war veterans turned
westward. There are, however, lands
which can be made available through
the proper development.

INSECT VICTIMS OF 4BoozE"
Scientists Familiar With Many Varie-
ties That Indulge In a Sort of
Bacchanaian Festival.

There would seem to be no partic-
ular reason from the. human stand
point why the Ivy should be called the
plant of Bacchus. since no wine Is
made from its berries. Entomologists,
however. have found that the ivy
flowers provide a yeritable bacchana-
Ian festival for a aumber of insects.
Men of science are wont 30 sally forth
at night with lanterns to capture the
intoxicated moths that crowd around
the greenish blossoms When the
willow is in bloom they find a similar
scene of dissipation around its yellow
catkins.
The tipping insect may be used to
point a moral by the prohibitionist,
since rum not infrequently leads to its
ruin. There is a fly so addicted to
wine that Linnaeus named it the 'cel-
lar fly" which appellation Kirby
changed to the more appropriate one
of the cellar wine drinker." Kirby
states that the larvae of this little fly.
whose diet he could attest from his
own observations, disdains to feed on
anything but wine or beer, which, like
Boniface in the play, it may he said
both to eat and drink.
There are bees AID flowers whose
random meetings result in the same
curious phenomenon. On the single
dahlias and gaillardias OF the garden
bees are often to be seen in the same
maudlin state, and these bees are more
frequently Of the black and yellow
banded kind. If you take such bee
off the gaillardia the insect will re-
main in your hand, INDUCING in
quaint antics or simply trembling in
every member. Presently, however, it
will recover and fly off straight to
another gaillardia flower and in a
very short time is again in its former
state of imbecility. One may pick it
up again and have a repetition of the
performance.

Explainino Turbine EncIne.

"The best idea I can give of it."
said an engineer, "is to liken it to
those paper windmills which spin on
the end Of a stick and which are sold
to children in the streets. A turbine,
in fact, is like a series Of those re-
volving wheels fixed one behind the
other, only instead of being turned by
the wind Il Is revolved by jets of
steam, The turbine wheels turn a
shaft inside a cylinder in the in
terror of which are fixed a number of
stationary blades which project into
the spaces between each wheel. The
purpose Of these blades Is to catch the
steam and direct it on to the wheels
at an angle where IT will exert the
most force. AS the steam enters the
cylinder it is caught by the station
airy blades and DETECTED on to the
blades of the first wheel, which are
set turning. The steam then passes
to the next until all the wheels are set
whirling and the ship is driven through
the water"

Appeal Urges America and Allies
10 Send Troops to Gust
Germans.
MESSAGE SENT WASHINGTON
State Department Told Army Should
Be Sent Under international Con.
trol-Party Was Removed
From Power of Boil.
sseViki.

Washington. June 12.-An appeal TO
the United States and the allies to
send an expeditionary force to Russia
to repel the German Invaders. forward
ed by the central committee of the
Cadet party in Russia, was transmit
ted to the state department today by
the Russian embassy.
The Cadet party is composed of the
constitutional democrats, who were
first in power after the overthrow OF
the Romanoff dynasty. 1t was remov-
ed from power by the bolsheviki.
The appeal reads: "We never recog-
nized the conditions of the Brest-
Litovsk peace, and consider that the
disastrous situation in which they have
placed Russia can only be ameIiorated
with the aid of the allies.
THE movement of the Germans on
Russian soil, their perpetual seizure
of new regions stin continues and there
seems to be no limit to such occupation
'Under such conditions we connot
refrain from appealing to our allies to
whom we nave frequently given proof
Of the loyalty of our feelings.
Powerful Factor Needed.
ave proclaim our conviction that the
appearance of a new powerful factor
on the scene of the struggle undoubt-
edly win have a decisive bearing on
the issues of the war and on the condi-
tons of peace.
1--WE can assure in the most concfu-
sive manner that the information pic
turing that the Russian democracy
does not approve of allied aid is false
IF such information has reached the
president Of the United States it must
originate from boIshevik sources.
'gThe bolshevikf in no way are rep
resentatfve Of the Russian democracy.
Their regime, fictitious rule Of de
mocracy, is really oTfgarchy, demagogy
and despotism, which at the present
moment relies only on physical force,
and daily becomes more and more obi
Gus to the popular masses
Public Opinion Vital.
Nevertheless, we consider It our
duty to emphasize that the attitude of
the Russian public opinion toward the
allied action is conditioned by the
forms of its realization. It's success
depends on the whole-hearted support
of national feeling in Russia.
eft is furthermore imperative for the
Russian public opinion TO receive as
surances that the expedition be CO.
ordinated with the inviolahiIfty of right
and interests of Russia. and that the
actions of all the allies on Russian ter
ritory be performed under information
al control"
The United States has not defined
its attitude toward the allied desire
for Joint action from the East, although
it is understood the government holds
that it would be inpportune to at
tempt to check the Germans in Russia
unless it is shown the Russian people
wish it and that the move would not
be misunderstood

MORE U. S. AIR HEROES

on French Front,


Washington, June "details Of
exploits of American aviators in re-

are given In an official dispatch from
France
"The American aviators In the
French army" said the dispatch, have
continued to distinguish themselves in
the course of the last operations.
David E. Putnam Of Brooklyn brought
down three enemy machines and has
been mentioned twice in the order of
the day.
"The total of his victories amounts
to six. Putnam has already received
the military cross and has been pro-
NOTED sergeant aviator in the French
army. He has not yet received his
transfer into an American aviation
unit. Lieutenant Sewall, after a long
fight, brought down German bipiane.
Aviators Stanley and Veil have each
carried off a victory"

This re-classifying of men suitable
for army service is being done with
a view of putting the men into the
army, who are suitable for army serv-
ice and who can reasonably be expect
ed to serve. That is the only aim of
the government. The plan is to get
an efficient army rather than to please
some fellow by exempting his son or
drafting the son of his enemy.
