LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskimos Said to Be Making Crafty.
ing Progress as Result of Mis-
sionaries' Teachings.

On Herschel island where the sun
shines continuously for eight weeks in
summer. the Eskimos had sun dance,
not always clothed in the garments of
proprlety, writer in an exchange says.
They had an idea that when the sun
came back its movements were direct
ed by an invisible power, but they had
no tangible conception of God. They
had no belief in future life. either
of reward or punishment. Today they
are religious, truthful, kind to their
children and TO the aged. They are
ambitious to learn; they are practical,
extremely Industrious, sanitary in
their habits, well clothed and well
housed. Insanity is unknown, but tu-
berculosis is common.
They whale in summer and trap in
winter. They are clever in trading,
good workers on land, water and ice,
and take excellent care of their house
hold effects. Tools. If broken, are
neatly repaired. When on Herschel
island or at Fort Mcpherson, they eat
the white mans food with great rel
ish. In summer they eat their fish and
blubber raw and in winter frozen. They
like food cooked, but 1t is a matter of
Indifference to them. They will bar
ter for the white mans food, eat a
hearty meal of 1t, and then go out and
eat blubber and raw fish as dessert.
The contents of q deer's stomach they
consider great delicacy.

KEEP HIM REASONABLY BUSY
Preacher Serving in Y. M. c. A. "Hut"
in Training Camp Finds His
Duties Many and Varied.

If there Is q notion that Y. M. G. A.
work in the camps consists in selling
stamps and handing out pocket tesla
ments. let IL be dissipated at once.
One preacher, serving in hut in a
New Jersey camp, reports that he has
done almost everything under the sun
except preach.
lie has built fires, swept floors,
looked after hundreds of packages of
laundry, umpires basketball games, or
ganized n glee club, stage-managed a
circus. sold ice cream at the canteen,
and driven a flivver ten miles and
back three times q week to provide
said cream. He has written letters
home for boys who could not write,
and he has taught those same boys
their first lessons in the English Ian
guage. He has been n repository for
hundreds of heart secrets and he has
served as trustee for the care of as
many as thirty Liberty bonds at
time.
Perhaps oldest of his many tasks
was one that came his way on wild
and stormy night in April, when the
master Of arms at the military station
entered the "Y" hut after taps, carry
Ing a red box under his arm.
"Say," said the master of arms,
"we've got lot of It. N. 4. mines
stored at the station. Here's the det-
orators, in this box. There's consid-
cradle lightning around, and it isn't
safe to leave these things close TO the
mines. Would you just as soon take
care of the box over night?"

SUGAR u to Is Cents a Pound.

In these days of tribulation, when
everything rises but fathers wages, we
all very consistently bemoan the high
cost of livino. But this, observes Pop
ular Science Monthly, is not the first
and only time that prices have been
high. During the Civil war wages ran
from SLIP day for laborers to 50 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
ing 10 cents or haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates We're $1.50 to 81 day,
and ice, which was considered a great
luxury, was supplied at so cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the chief bone of
contention in those days, too. and 1t
cost II to II cents a pound.

War Prisoners to Form Club.

A dozen British prisoners of war
who had escaped from Germany met
at a dinner recently given in London
to celebrate their escape. At this din

membership of which was to be con-
fined to those who have succeeded in
making their way out Of prisoners

has not yet been settled, but the club
will certainly be the most novel thing
of its kind in London.

WHY WOMEN GET THEIR WAY
Prominent Characteristic Of the Sex,
as Most Married Men Know, 10
Their Determination.

The main difference between men
and women is nowhere so marked as
II Is in the distinction between char
acter and ability.
A mans ability Is entirely separate
from his character. A man may have
genius and no character at all. He
may have small abilities and large
character. In a man the two things
appear to be entirely independent Of
one another.
But woman's character is deter
mined by her ability, and her ability
is determined by her character. In
reality, therefore, women are much
more simple than men, although they
do not appear to be so. Women are
more complicated outwardly than men.
They offer more superficial variety.
But closer observation and association
among them tend TO make them more
alike.
Men, on the other hand, grow more
complicated as you come to know them
better. This is because their abilities
"h' Niui bNltlS DtlliS ullItliiltu anu TIE
proportionate measure of each subject
to variations, new combinations are
constantly being presented. The va
rious things which 90 to make up the
motive power of woman, on the other
hand, are more closely related. WOm-
en-, therefore, concentrate more than
men, although they do not seem to do
so, the process being unconscious.
That explains why If a woman wants
thing and man doesn't want her to
have it, she always gets it.
When man wants thing he plans
TO get it just as much as he can
through the ordinary processes of his
mind and will. When woman wants
thing she makes no plan at all--but
she gets it much more often than the
man, because everything in her whole
makeup, conscious and unconscious, is
working for it.
If you want to see conservation of
energy and the perfection of efficiency
watch the working of that perfectly
co-Ordinated machine-a woman-get-
ting thing from a man that she
wants.-Life.

Many Lambs Killed by RattIers.

Rattlers, always plentiful in parts
of Washington state, are this year
more numerous than in any previous
season. Sheepmen are forcibly re-
minded of the fact by the loss Of
lambs. Older sheep know the menace
in the tattoo of the rattlesnake, and
will change their course at the sound,
but the lambs are often bitten. There is
nothing that can be done for the re-
lief Of lamb which has been bitten.

Summer Complaint.

During the hot weather of the
summer months some member of al

troubled with an unnatural loose
ness of the bowels, and it is of the

done when the medicine is kept at

Kentucky Crop Estimates.
Kentucky's crop prospects at pre-
sent may be summarized as being
wheat crop of approximately 12.l29,-
900 bushels, compared to 100000
bushels last year; corn, 1O6.774,OOO
bushels, compared to 1872, S5O,OOO
bushels in 1917; oats, S,O29,OOO
bushels, compared to S,O6O,OOO bush
els last year; rye, $4,000 bushels,
compared to $4,000 last year; bar
ley, $4,000 bushels, compared to
lao, 900 bushels last year; Irish pota-
toes, 100000 bushels, compared to
6,72O.000 bushels last year and 361,-
171,OOO pounds of TOBACCO, compared
to 426,6OO,000 pounds grown last
year.
Corn has been badly damaged by
the drouth in some sections, but the
late corn may be able very largely to
overcome the damage II the rest of
the season is favorable.
Although the tobacco crop is APP
parently seriously cut in this State by
the drouth, sit should be remembered
that tobacco can grow out wonder
fully from drouth damage in very
short time late in the season, and
former reports of great drouth dam
age to the tobacco crop have often
proved deceptive because of quick
growth late in the season. However,
lthe crop in Kentucky has apparently
been seriously damaged.
Late potatoes will probably yield
better than the early crop. The
buckwheat crop near Somerset, is re-
ported in good condition, with an in
creased acreage.
The crop reports for the entire
United States indicate about $751;

Eggs For Preserving Use Must BE
Beyond Suspicion.

Eggs FOR tftStENiHS NNt hu't bc
Beyond Suspicion.
Eggs preserved when they are
abundant and cheap means a supply
next winter when they may reach ex-
tremely high prices.
Late summer is not too late to pre-
serve eggs, but care must be taken
that they are strictly fresh.
Two methods of preserving eggs
are recommended by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
cultpre-they follow:
Watcr-glass Method.
Use one quart of sodium silicate
TO Q quarts of water that has been
boiled and cooled. Place the mixture
i'm a 5-gallon crock or jar. This will
be sufficient to preserve Is dozen
eggs; and the quantity needed to
preserve a larger number of eggs
will be in proportion.
First. select five gallon crock and
clean it Thoroughly, after which 1t
should be scalded and allowed to dry.
Second heat a quantity of water
to- the boiling point and allow it to
cool.
Third, when cool, measure out 9
quarts of water, place it in the crock,
and add one quart of sodium silicate.
stirring the mixture thoroughly.
Fourth, place the eggs in the solu-
ton. BE very careful to allow at least
9 inches of the solution to cover the
eggs.
Fifth. place the crock containing
the preserved eggs in a cool, dry
place. we'll covered to prevent evapor-
alton. Waxed paper covered over and
tied around the top of the crock Will
answer this purpose.
Lime Method.
When water glass can not be OBJ
tanned the following method may be
used in its stead. Many consider this
method entirely satisfactory. though
instances are known in which eggs
so preserved have tasted slightly of
lime.
Dissolve . or pounds of unslack-
ed lime in gallons of water that has
previously been boiled and allowed to
cool, and allow the mixture to stand
until the lime settles and the liquid
is clear. Place clean. fresh eggs in a
clean earthenware jug or key and
pour the clear limewater into the
vessel until the eggs are covered. AT
least two inches of the solution
should cover the top layer of eggs.
Sometimes a pound of salt is used
with the lime, but experience has
shown that in general the lime with
out the salt is more satisfactory.

The good showing made by
this Chapter with knitting and
sc wing put us in line for a large
amount of supplies, and we now
have on hand about $500 worth of
yarn for socks and sweaters, and
probably 500 worth Of pajama
cloth, the paJamas are already
cut. and it is now up 10 the wo-
men of Rockcastle County to show
their continued loyalty to the
boys who have helped win this
great war, and whom it will be
necessary for our Government to
keep 10 arms for a year or more
to make the victory complete and
the peace terms fair to all the
Nations of the world. The work
of the Red Cross should 60 on as
zealously on a mission of peace
as it did during the actual hostili-
ties. Please apply at the Red
Cross Headquarters for knitting
or sewing, and help complete this
great work that has been under
taken by the women of this county.
All memberships to the Red
Gross expires with the first of the
Year and a campaign will be
started during the next week TO
collect dues of the members for
next year. and also solicit mem.
bership fees from the whole popu-
lation of the county. With this
mem bership campaign, straight
me mbership fee of 81. for adults
and IS cents for each member oil
the Junior organization, will not
bea hardship on anyone, and it is
the desire Of the American Nat.
ional Red Cross to have every per
son in the United States become a
mem Der of the Red Cross during
this drive. If this great under.
taking can be accomplished,
enough money will be raised to
carry on the Red Cross work, not
only among the soldiers, but to
relieve distress that may occur
anywhere on the globe. 1t is a
great privilege to belong to an or
ganization that has done so much
good for humanity. It's charita.
BILE hand has been felt on the
brow of the suffering, not only in
this country, but in every Nation
of the world, except Germany
and it's Allies during the period
that the United States has been
engaged in this War.
