earth in simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else in the

Another Mserap of Paper"

Twenty-seven years ago settlers at
Olympia, Wash, made a treaty with
the Indians allowing them to hsh any
where and at any time, says Commerce
and Finance. Now the state game
laws prohibit them from the sport dur
ing the closed season.
Saluskin, big chief of the YaA1nnas'
with number of other Indians, after
protesting in vain to the local game
wardens, went to the city to protest
against the violation Of their rights.
Imagine a chieftain, 90 years Oh
straight as an arrow, yet half blind
and enfeebled, entering court room
in modern city. This man had seen
the victory of civilization in its sG!'ue :
gle against the wilderness. He h2d
seen his race pass control of the land
to- the white race. Still believing in
the honor of the white man, he came
TO protest against the Infringement OF
a treaty made a quarter of century
before.
Saluskin was informed by an inter-
prefer that the district attorney could
not change the state game laws.
ssHoh !" was his only comment.

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF WHEAT
Shortage Has Shown Us the WoHder.
ful apd Unique Qualities Contained
. In the Grain. e

AS absence makes the heart grow
fonder, so does scarcity Of wheat In
vite attention to its wonderful and
unique qualities as food. We have been
eating wheat products all these years
as matter of course, and it never oc-
Cured to US that we might ever be
called on to 60 without them. Now
that it is necessary to use wheat sub
stitutes, we have discovered that use
full as they are there is nothing that
really takes the place Of wheat flour.
The magic of the wheat lies IN It's
gluten-what the baker refers to as
the binder" He must have certain
proportion of wheat flour to furnish
the binder or his oatmeal bread or his
rice pastry crumbles. The substitutes
have the same nourishment as the
wheat. But they lack the quality Of
the wheat flour crust. There is moth
ing in them to imDrison the gases lib
Grated by yeast, and so they refuse to
rise like wheat dough. Bread made Of
the substitutes is heavy and soggy un-
less there is enough wheat dough
mixed in to give it life.
Without wheat we go without
bread, without cake, without pie, with
out strawberry shortcake. No affec-
ton for corn pone can make it sub
stitute for all these stand-bys Of the
table. If it is necessary for the sake
of the war, we shall cheerfully go
without. Any deprivation we may feel
is as nothing to what our associates in
arms already have undergone. But we
shall look forward to the happy days
when there will be an abundance Of
wheat once more.-Kansas City Star.

In and Out.

There is some talk among number
Of the women folk Of Woodruff placs
of organizing "a club to be known as
"The Ins and Outs" Not that they
wish to be marked as gad-abouts or
anything of the sort. The proposed
club title refers solely to a recent
pamphlet issued by the authorities OF
"the town within city" which con-
tains the directory of the 1900 inhab-
itants. The booklet is neatly arranged,
is embellished with pictures of the
towns beauty spots and contains plen-
ty Of advertisements as all good direc-
tories should. But somehow in the
course from census taker to printer
the names of about twenty-five OF the
good wives of the town were omitted.
The little club idea has been proposed
with one requirement for membership.
which is that the member shall be in"
the town and "out" Of the directory

ALL PREPARED FOR MEASLES
Indianapolis Newspaper Treats Ad-
vent Of Disease as Something OF
Which TO Make Jest.

Have you had the measles yet?
Well, just be patient. 1t is only a
matter Of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
counted for the great number of cases
of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which invariably
accompany those evassTe answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid of disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and caceful
bow are serving in anS ARM 'al ca
pacity.
So. if you awaken some mo.n,ng and
your forehead is mass Of little
patches of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot, don't
be alarmed. 1t simply means that
you have been chosen to become a
member of the Ancient Accepted Or
der of Measleites, and that the initia-
ton has begun. A five days vacation
is about to be thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably
less, particularly if you have the
"Hun" variety, which is as treacher-
Gus as the name implies.
Of course, if you are pressed for
time, there is 24-hour kind which is
very good. 1t has ell the appearances
of the genuine article without any OF
the disagreeable features. The doc
tors call it Dukes disease" but, it be-
longs to the measle family, and you
will be perfectly safe (and considera-
bly, more comfort .hle) in selecting that
kind.-Indianapolis News.

The surgical dressing room will not
be opened for work on Mondays, on
account of church meetings on this
day. Tuesday, and every day through
the week, these rooms will be open;
hours 10 to 1890, 5 to Z.
1t is hoped that there will be more
volunteers for this work, an hour or
so a day can be profitabiy spent in
the work rooms at all times. The
work is not difficult, and there is much
to be done by many fingers. The
dressings are made under the super
vision of women who have taken the
course, but it is not necessary to take
the course in surgical dressings to
work in the rooms, as some seem to
think
Some may stay away on account Of
the heat, remember patriotic women,
It is also warm on the firing line, and
your neglecting to make a pad may
he the cause of some soldier losing
his life.

Can't Even Have "Near-Beer."

Germanys brewers hoped this year
to produce a beer substitute that
should really resemble beer, but the
Prussian minister Of finance has is
sued a decree that puts an end to the
dream of the foaming stein.
A new process has been patented
by which near-beer was to be made
from beetroot, hoas, yeast and wa
ter. Many breweries had already IN
stalled machinery required under the
patent.
The minister of finance has decided
that the sugar of the beetroot, upon
which the substitute depends for AGO
hol, cannot be spared for beer. Ecets,
he says, are badly needed for manufac-
ture of sugar, dilution Of jam and max
ing of coffee substitutes.

MYSTERY RovERs OVER LAKE
Body Of Water In Central Africa Has
Most Curious Effect on Minds
Of Travellers.

Cold and gray are the waters which
Lake Tchad spreads over the lowlands
of central Africa. The traveller In
Africa finds the mystery Of the dark
continent more haunting and unfath-
omable here than in the battling mazes
of the jungle or In the silent smile OF
the sphinx. Heavy winds toss the
shallow waters about and whisper th":r
secrets through the reeds. But the
lake makes no answering condolences.
It stretches on and on, measuring its
miles of surface in sweeping wave
lengths.
AS far as the eye can see ahead are
the reeds and rusnes reaching up
through the water in tangled masses.
Here and there the line Of the gray ex'
panse is broken by slender Islands
bearing up a few round-topped native
huts, outlined dimly against the Sky
line. The effect is that "f painting
seen through gray glasses, reducing
the whole to low key. It is in the
grayness that the lakes effect Of mys-
terry lies, the. grayness that hovers
dull and cherries over waving reeds.
The traveller gazing across Lake
Tchad for the first time feels the thriH
of discovery. The knowledge that ne
is not the first to stand upon the banks
does not dispel the feeling OF entering
the most shut-off place in central
Africa it .s.

RECORD BELONGS TO SIRIUS
Small Vessel Was the First to Cross
the Atlantic Wholly Under Its
Own Steam.

This spring marks the eightieth an
niversary of an important event in
modern history-the voyage from Cork
to New York of the Sirius, the first
vessel to cross the Atlantic wholly un-
der it's ownt steam. All that remains
of that stanch little craft is number
of brass paper-weights made from the
metal work after it was wrecked in
Ballycotton bay in 1S47. Captain Rob-
erts, commander Of the 412-ton Sirius
on its maiden trip, was later trans
ferred to the President, which went
down with all on board. Thus both
the Sirius and her master met with
tragic end.
The Sirius made the voyage from
Cork in 10 days, reaching New York
only a few hours before the Great
Western. another steamship which
had sailed from Bristol. The latter
made the best time, crossing the
ocean in Is days. The Sirius had a
passenger list Of seven on its initial
voyage, the youngest of whom was
Vincent E. Ransome, then four years
old, who was reported living few
years ago in Wiltshire, England,
where he was long the rectoN of
parish church.
The Sirius was a schooner-rigged
ship and was, ITS feet over all, with
a beam of 25 feet and a depth of IS
feet.
