Can't Lose Glasses.

Military eyeglasses is the contribu-
ton to the field of war inventions by
DR.. Robert J. James, well-known Sc
attic physician and surgeon.
The outstanding features Of the new
eyeglasses, according to the inventor,
are: They cannot be Jared loose from
their places even under the most severe
treatment, the tightening hold on the
nose, which is injurious to ones health
and comfort, is eliminated and gives
way to three natural points of suspen-
sion, and the glasses may be removed
with one hand.
The glasses have two extensions at
either side Of the face slightly above
the eye. The small plate at the end of
the extensions holds the glasses firm
and does not rest on any vital nerve or
blood vessel, as is the case when the
only point Of suspension is at the nose.

A Race of CrippIes,

The military medical authorities
have examined our citizens by the
thousands. The results of this ex-
animation in many instances writes
Bernard Macfadden, in Physical Gull
ture, have been as follows:
Out Of every five examined, one is
considered sound. The other four are
cripples. Some part of their internal
organisms is affected. The heart, stom-
ach; lungs, kidneys or some other vital
organ or function is crippled.
For generations the blind have been
leading the blind.
The physical body is of no special
Importance. The house in which we
live needs no special attention. 1t
"just grows" No matter how dirty
1t may be. So long as the dirt does
not show on the surface, there is no
occasion for complaint or criticism.
That has been our attitude.
1t is about time for us to change.
It is about time for US to give the
body it's proper appreciation. Learn
to respect it, to revere it, to care for
1t as you would for your most preci-
Gus possession.

KAISER'S BIRTH CAUSED JOY
Queen Victoria, Upon Receipt of TeEe-
gram Announcing Tidings, Could
Not Maintain Usual Dignity.

Anecdotes about the royal family
are usually rather fiat, but here is a
good story of Queen Victoria, relates
a correspondent, the ironic and ter.
rible commentary on which she mer-
cifully did not live to see:
'"The queen, whom we had so late
ly parted from in calm dignity, was
flying with the eagerness of a young
girl, and so rapid was her movement,
and so joyous her expression, it was
plain that her suite had much diff
Guilty in keeping pace with her speed.
Catching sight Of a friend in the dis
tance, as she came up the long room,
she suddenly waved aloft a telegram
form that she was holding in her hand,
and called out in triumphant tones,
unheeding the shocked expression of
her attendants at such unconvention-
ality: Lady Login! Lady Login! 1
am a grandmother ="
Such was the welcome given to the
English queens first grandchild-

FASCINATION OF AIR LIFE
First Trip In Army Airplane Is
Thriller AFSt From Everything
Else in Life, Says Filler.

An aviation student in one Of the
Western schools declares that the
sensation of the first trip in one of
the governments aircraft is not to be
compared with anything else he ever
experienced. He explained it thus:
Il wish had the ability to describe
the fascination of this work of learn
ing to be the cavalry of the air, or
eyes Of the army, or anything else one
chooses to call US.
Let me tell you that your first trip
In an airplane is thing apart, abso-
lutely new and different from any ex-
perience that you ever had.
"You climb into the bus with your
sweater and your leather helmet and
goggles, looking like something you
would throw raw fish to if you saw it
in cage, and the lieutenant shoves on
the power and you go humping and
bouncing along the ground with a big
wind in your face and the prop spin
ming out In front like a Dutch wind
mill gone crazy.
"Then suddenly the bumps are gone
and you go whirring swiftly and stead
lily up into the clear air and sunshine
and the earth falls away like a fade
away on a movie screen and the fool
ish little people on the ground turn up
their white faces at you as you go
over.
II hope I don't get mumps or liver
complaint or some fool thing that will
keep me out of it all. This is my pet
fear more than that of taking a fall
or getting smashed into"

HE BLAZED NEWSPAPER TRAIL
Young Ohio Printer Established In
dianapolis' First News Dissemina-
tor in 1922, In Log Cabin.

The first newspaper published in
Indianapolis was the Indianapolis Ca
zette, started in January, 1922, by Ma
thaniel Bolton, q young printer who
came from Ohio. He was born at
Chillicothe, once an Indian town, and
later for few years the capital of
Ohio. He learned the printers trade
year after the capital was located
there. In reminiscent address many
years later he said:
"The Gazette was established in q
buckeye log cabin Of but one room,
part Of which was occupied for a fam
lily residence. 1t was printed on new
type. The ink was put ON with balls
made of dressed deer skin stuffed with
wool. The balls, when out Of use,
were kept soft by the application of
raccoon oil. There was no post Office
nearer than Connersville, distance of
60 miles; but a private mail was es-
tablished and person employed to go
to COnnersville every four weeks to
bring the letters and newspapers. In
February, 1923, the presidents mes
sage, delivered in December, 1922,
came to hand and was published in
the two or three succeeding numbers
of the Gazette. During the year 1922
a United States mail was established,
and in a short time we had our mail
from the East every two weeks, unless
detained by high waters.' A year
after starting the Gazette Mr.. Bolton
became mail carrier. In his reminis-
cent address he says:
''In 1923, having received a contract
from the postmaster general, I pro-
ceeded with the first United States
mail north of Indianapolis to the then
recently deserted village of Anderson
town. A post office on the route was
established at the home of William
Connor, four miles south of Mobiles
Vile, and there was another post Office
at Strawtown, a prairie of consider
able magnitude, where many remains
Of the Indian village that had been To-
Gated there were still standing"

Photograph Frames.

For framing single photograph for
the wall, novel idea is to place it in
the upper part of q moderately large
mat. When the picture is in sepia, the
mat should be in tan or brown, the
frame brown or gold. When the photo
graph is gray the mat should be also,
with gray or gold frame. A wide
gray frame sometimes takes the place
of a mat.
The back board may be covered with
a harmonious plain material; a wire
easel may be bought for trifie and at
tached to the back through slit made
just to fit its clamp. The back is in
cluded in the gimp binding at the sides
and bottom; the top is left open for the
insertion Of the picture.

The Tactful Writer.

When writing to those away from
home or distant relatives or friends
see to it that your letter fairly sparkles
with cheer and good news. Bring a
smile to the readers lips and make
him or her long to be with you to
share the happy joys you tell about.
These are the kind of letters that
80 straight to the hearts of those who
receive them. The vast majority of
us have full measure of cares and re-
sponsibilities to contend with, but
every one of us can often think a hap
py thought or speak a good word and
we should in all fairness pass it on.-

HEALTH FOUND IN GARDEN
Perspiration That Results Carries
Away Noxious Elements, and
Strength and Vigor Are Certain.

To the man who woos her earnestly
nature offers store of unexpected
gifts. Our thousands of amateur gar
deners who have put in the leisure
hours in their little garden patches
have begun to realize that one of the
biggest rewards of their labors may
not be the actual produce they will
obtain, valuable as that may be, but
In the less tangible results on their
own bodily and spiritual welfare.
There is health in the soil Of Mother
Earth. The perspiratiOn that results
from your labors is carrying away nox-
ious elements from your blood.
Strength and vigOr come from contact
with the soil. In this kinship to the
earth is found one reason that nearly
all Of our greatest men have been
cOuntry-bred boys. 1t is why farmer
boys of today are stronger and more
able than youths reared in cities. Do
not be afraid if your hand acquires a
few callouseS or a brownish tint. A
Well-tanned hand is a more fitting SUBJ
ject for pride than a soft, white, use
less hand. You may meet with some
failures from not knowing the how and
why of things, but there is Joy which
cannot fail.
The miracle of planting a seed and
seeing the growth, though common
thing, contains JOY and food for the
heart. Gardening not only brings nour-
lshment for the body and food for the
mind, but it expands the soul.-Mil-
waukee Journal.

The Crucial Moment.

Then said the young man with a
tragic air, as he was leaving the room,
"this is your final decision?"
''It is, Mr.. Carrots" replied the
young girl firmly.
"Then," he replied, his voice betray-
ing an unnatural calmness, "there is
but one thing more to add"
'Yes?" she questioned sweetly.

Air Service.
The Air Service has been called

the years up tn the outbreak OF war
less than $4,000 had been appro-
priated for this service.

almost negligible force of 65 officers

The old idea of the Medical Depart

wounded men who could be returned
to active service and discharge the
rest. Now the department must ham
die men chosen from civil life under
physical requirements far less rigid
than formerly and work for the up
building OF their fitness. It's work

on the choice and layout of camps. on
mobilizing. housing and feeding the

determine matters Of camp sanitation,

Of war, neither side on the western
front has been able on a given day to

Signal Corps Service.
The Signal Corps, in addition to the
aviation program, has been charged
with the whole system of the conf
munications of the Army, telephone.
telegraph, and visual, both in this
country and in France, and has in
creased in personnel nearly thirtyfold.
1t has had to equip the cantonments,
camps, and Coast Artillery with tele-
phones and telegraphs, and has built
1000 miles of permanent wire in
France, and is renovating and MAIN
tanning $500 miles of wire behind the
French and British fronts. The poles
alone Of all this equipment were OBJ
tanned in France.
Several entirely new essentials de-
veloped in this war have been in
trusted to the Signal Corps. A mete-
geological force has been organized,
equipped, and sent across for the inn
portant work of ~forecasting the
weather for the aid Of the Artillery
and the Air Service.
A Photographic organization. to de-
velop and analyze photographs from
the air n also to provide an official
pictorial histor of the war. has been
developed on a scale commensurate
with the fact that the man making for
a single engagement requires tens or
thousands of photographs pieced care
fully together and accurately kept up
to the last minute.
A pigeon service also has been rec-
essary to bring back information from,
the front-linc trenches when all other
means of communication have failed.
Thousands of such birds have been
bought, trained, and shipped abroad.
