LEARNING WHITE MANS WAYS
Eskimos Said TO Be Making Crafty.
ing Progress as Result OF Mis-
sonaries' 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, a 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 a God. They
had no belief In a 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 tn.
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
lsh. 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 a deer's stomach they
consider great delicacy.

SUGAR p 70 IS Cents . 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 a day for laborers to 50 a
day for skilled workmen. This, how
ever, did not prevent shave from cost
Ing 10 cents or a haircut 20 cents.
Hotel rates were $3.50 to 50 day,
and ice, which was considered a great
luxury, was supplied at 30 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 Is cents a pound.

Big Day in Huntingdon

The local board, under orders
from the Provost Marshal's office,
have called all the selective service
men in the last draft, or the 1918
class, to meet at the court house
in Huntingdon at l o'clock p. ~.
Sunday, August II, for the
purpose of instructing them in the
duties that confront them as pros
pective soldiers of the country.
An elaborate program has been
prepared and great time is antici-
pated. The program is desi gned
to give the regiatrant just such
information as he needs at the
beginning of his military career.
Prominent speakers have been
procured for the occasion among
them Chancellor Ross.
1t would be very profitable and
instructive to all Registrars of the
1918 class and the public gener-
ally to attend. Everybody is in
vited to attend. There will be
music by the Hico Band and local
singers.

This Canine Warrior Was Not q
aSlaeker," but Didn't Care to
&C Over Top.

In those long lines Of trenches in
France and Flanders, where Britisher
faces German, it Is not all discomfort
and misery. During quiet hours we
play and joke. And we like nothing
better than some little pet--a dog or a
cat, perhaps-tO care for and look
after.
Cats are not uncommon in trench
land, many of them having been born
and bred there, says Boys Life. the
boy scouts magazine. Unless a kitten
or cat is actually taken from the
trenches. it makes that sector It's
home, and Is fed and cared for by the
troops which come in to hold the line
at that part. But a dog viii follow
his unit about and soon becomes the
friend Of all, and quite an important
being in the regiment.
Our little smooth-haired fox terrier
had taken up his quarters in a strong
redoubt near the front. The little dog
would quake with fear on hearing a
German shell in the air. but after the
explosion would run about as before,
realizing that the danger wns past.
Poor little Warrior stayed In the
trenches always. He would not follow
the men out, but would settle down
with the incoming unit. Many were
the jokes made at his expense. "War-
rlOr, old boy" a man would say, "if
was you would get a transfer to some
nonfghting mob wot never comes up,
and keep out Of It we'll behind" But
Warrior wouldn't desert. Every time
the battalion came up to hold the line
there was the little terrier.

The French TrlcoIor.

The Tricolor, the French national
standard of blue, white and red, de
vlded vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1889 the
leaf plueked by Camille Desmoulins
in the garden Of the Palais Royal be-
came a rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color;
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince dArtois, they
rejected 1t on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the colors Of the city Of Paris,
and later added the white Of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking Of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge Of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
symbol of the liberty of the French
nation, and it continued as such even
when afterward the reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita-
ton.

Luminous Paint Useful.

Many ingenious uses have been found
of late for luminous paint. Watches
with dials which glow In the darkness
are becoming common, and only the
other day an order was given for 100,-
600 marching compasses with luminous
needles to be carried by soldiers at
the front. Immense quantities Of lum-
inous cloth are used by the soldiers
who 60 over the top. 1t is cut into
small rectangles about ten inches long
and fastened to the collars Of the uni
forms. The soldiers can thus rec0g-
nize their own men In an indiscrimi-
nate fight In the dark. The luminous
paint Is also smeared on the end of
sharpened sticks which, when stuck
into the ground, make fairly clear
beacon. Luminous tape Is also used
by the mile for variety Of purposes.
In this way the stretcher bearers mark
the paths they are to follow. It has
been found that on a dark night the
luminous paint is visible for only go
feet. A soldier can dip his hand in the
paint and signal by describing letters
in the air or by wigwagging, knowing
that the enemy cannot see him hum
dred feet away.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TODARKENS HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture Of
Sage Tea and Sulphur to
Bring Back Color, Gloss
and YOuthfuheSS

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray, streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just a
few applications win prove a revela-
tion if your hair is faded, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way is to get a so
cent bottle of Wyeth 3 Sage and Sui
phur Compound at any drug store all
ready for use. This is the old timo
recipe improved by the addition of 9th
er ingredients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain our
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY darkening your hair with Wy
eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound, no
.one can tell, because it does it so ma
turally, so evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at a time; by morning all
gray hairs have disappeared, and, af-
ter another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy
soft and luxuriant.
This preparation is a delightful toi-
let requisite and is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease.
