SEA BUFFALO GOOD EATING"
Other Things Beside the Beefsteal<,

May Be Made Of Use.

Sirloin of sea buffalo is much es.
teemed in San Francisco and other
Pacific coast cities, where meat Of this
highly valued animal is coming to mar
ket in such quantities as to lower the
cost of living by keeping down the
price Of beef and mutton.
Sea cows and sea horses have long
been Familiarity known, but most folks
would confess themselves unacquaint-
ed with the sea buffalo. If they saw
one, they would call it a whale; and
no wonder, for that Is the sea buf-
falo's other name.
Some people might be prejudiced
against eating whale meat, but sea
buffalo steak sounds good. It Is good
quite equal, in fact, to the best beef
steak, and hardly distinguishable from
the latter. In the market, sea buffalo
tenderloin (boneless "filet") costs only
Is cents a pound; other cuts are
cheaper.
The gray whale Common In Pacific
waters) furnishes most of the meat.

TOWN HAS HISTORIC PAST
llfracombe, Popular English Summer
Resort, Has Been Well Known
Through Many Centuries

Ilfracombe is rapidly becoming popu-
lar as summer resort-or, as the Eng
lish call it, watering place. It is set
on steep hillside, surrounded by "the
seven hills" on the beautiful Devon
shire coast. From the near town Of
Hillsborough Ilfracombe shows mass
of white cottages, clinging desperately
to the hillside to keep from tumbling
into the Atlantic ocean.
Many people think that 1lfracombe
is a modern town, in spite of its quaint
ness, because 1t has such an up-to-date
air. But Ilfracombe is a skillfully cam
ouf1aged antique, having been a harbor
of some note way back In the twelfth
century. This attractive townlet has
been inflicted with a great variety of
jaw-breaking names during the CEN
turtles of it's existence. It's names
range all the way from Aelfringcombe
and nfordscombe to Alfredscombe,
and, at last, nfracombe. But the good
folk round about Ilfracombe Just call
It 'Combe.
In 1874 1lfracombe was one of the

In these olden days wrecks near H.
fracombe were frequent, and pearls

the fisher folk to merchants in neigh

The Quaker sect, or Society Of

about eight years before the first men,

Can Shyness Be Cured7

What is the remedy for shyness?
What is the shy man to do in order
that he may be shy no longer?
The remedy is simple, and is to be
found by consideration Of the cause.
The shy person is shy in the presence
Of strangers only. Let him have no
opportunity of meeting strangers, and
let the opportunity be abolished not
by abolition of the meetings, but by
abolition of the strangeness. In other
words, shy persons are those who in
early life had not practice and no ex-
perience in meeting strangers, and so
having the attention of strangers d.
rected to them and attracted to them.
If the meeting with strangers becomes
customary it loses it's strangeness.

FLU" PLAGUE
FOLLOWS WAR

The Spanish influenza epidemic
which has ragged throughout practi-
cally the entire world may be the
plague and pestilence" which ira
dition says always follows war. Mod
ern sanitation and hygiene have
done much to free the world from the
dominion Of plaques, but in time of
war even science is thwarted. 1
A formidable weight of medical
opinion holds that the influenza cpl
demic which has swept Europe and
America during the last Is months is
due to the filthy conditions of trench
life, the millions or rats and vermin
bred at the front, and the unburied
dead on the battlefields. Certainly
this war would be different from all
those ever fought if it did not bring
pestilence in it's wake. ..,r #
It is hardly probable that the 1848
cholera epidemic caused the number
of deaths that influenza has done.
The toll during the three months,
Sept. to Dec. l., was $4,000 per-
sons. All other pestilences in his
tory have had their first start in the
far east. Egypt and Ethiopia were
world, China and Turkey of more
modern times. The latest theory is
that influenza or "pneumonic plague"
as many physicians call it is no ex-
ception. According to DR.. James
King of the army medical corps, the
disease was imported from China,
through the coolies used on French
battle fronts. The disease has been
no respector of climates. It has
ragen in frozen Russia and Alaska,
in dry Arizona, in damp heat, like
that Of Italy, and in damp cold, like
that of the Great Lakes region. Trop-
ical Porto Rico and Hawaii have not
been spared, nor the dry, bracing
northwest. Influenza is not unknown
in history. It is reported to have
swept Europe in 1857, 1880 and
1898. In 1881 it ragged through Ger
many. alone, stopping abruptly at the
Rhine, and three hundred years later,
in 1891 it swept Germany again.
Pestilence seems always to take
those in the prime of life and influ-
enza had been no exception. In the
epidemic from which this country is
now suffering, statistics show that 80
per cent of the victims are under 40
years of age, and so per cent of them
under IS years of age. The death
rate in army camps has been about
twice that among civilians.
Modern science is not leaving in
fuenza to range uncombatted as did
the plaques of few centuries ago.
DR.. E: C. Rosenow of Rochester,
Minn., declares that successful SER
UNI has already been discovered that
will reduce the influenza mortality
by more than 80 per cent.
