"Only last week / found Mary's ear
ring here" said the experienced house
wife to a younger woman as yet quite
inexperienced i'll housekeeping ways
who had wondered why the speaker
should look over the accumulated dust
that she had just shaken out OF a
carpet sweeper; the Mary referred to
being the maid employed in this home.
Mary came to me-" the speaker con-
tinued, "and said she had lost one of
her earrings ana she had looked every
where for it, but just simply couldn't
find it; but I knew the lilzeliest place
to look for ii, and there ] did find it,
in the dust of the carpet sweeper,

DIET is WHOLESOME
One Pound of the Food Supplies More
Than Twice as Much Energy as
Same Amount of Steak.

Too many people use cheese merely
rs an appetizer, says the Scientific
American in commenting on a recent
bulletin of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. According to this
bulletin and to the universal practice
in the great cheese-producing countries
of Europe, cheese is one of the most
valuable of foods and a most satisfac-
tory Substitute for meat.
A pound of cheese supplies more
than twice as much energy as a pound
of fowl or round steak and almost
twice az much protein as the same
amount of fowl or ham.
Contrary to the opinion of many,
cheddar or "store'' cheese is not psu-
ally indigestible and constipating. Ex-
tensive digestion experiments conduct
ed by the department have demon
stratel that more than % per cent of
the protein in cheese is digested and
that so per cent of it's energy is avail
able. Even when eaten in large guam
titles and for long periods, no case of
indigestion, constipation or other dis
turbance was observed in those who
ate it. One person who ate cheese as
the chief source of protein and energy,
eating an average OF 9.27 ounces daily
for more than two years, did a fair
amount of muscular work and kept in
good health.

BETTER BE NARROW
Petticord Says Broadness That Dead
ems Conscience Does Not Pay.

Topeka needs an application of
religion that will grip the consciences
and hearts of men and help them
out with sin and get on the lob for
God" said Evangelist Petticord last
night at the Evangelical church.
THE universally of conscience and
its appeal to. a higher and better life
testify to the fact that God is pulling
at every heart.
"A polished description of a pol
luted conscience is that You have be-
come SO broad from your wider ex-
perience that many things formerly
wrong no longer seem so. Many loose
lives boast of broad views when
honesty would call it a deadened con-
science"

There has been much said and
printed recently concerning the dry
ing up of the water in Miller park
lake. According to Arch Wilson. who
lives out on Ida street and in Mime
Lusa, north OF the park, the fish in
the lake have heard, or rather
learned Of this disappearing OF the
water and are preparing to pack up,
get out onto dry land and walk away,
perhaps going to the Missouri river,
or perhaps to the lakes in the other
city parks.
For good many years Wilson has
made close study Of FISH and their
habits. As a result he feels that he
is authority on all kinds Of FISH. Some
weeks ago he commenced TO note the
recession of the water in Miller park
lake and at once turned his atten.
ton to figuring out what would be-
come of the fish in the event the lake
went dry. Morning. noon and night
when not attending to his daily duties
he might have. been seen walking
along the shores OF the lake, closely
observing the antics OF the gold FISH
the silver sides, the carp and tn,
bullheads, which fairly swarm in thu
waters.
Later on and after his observa
tons had gone to the extent of en-
abling him to reach conclusion
Wilson made a statement that ha
startled the scientists, the savant

leaving their native waters, Travelled
from place to place. Later on and
during the last century, he says that
history records the fact that fish grew
legs and travelled over land across a
portion of Illinois. And still later.
right here in Nebraska, he asserts that
upon several occasions Ash have been
seen walking across country, going
from the Elkhorn to the Platte river.
Right now, according to Wilson,
there are some of the Miller lake
carp that have legs one-half to an
inch long. His idea is that inside of
month these legs will have grown to
sufficient length and strength so that
the fish will have confidence in them
and then they will get out on dry
land and give the aforesaid legs trial
trip. Six legs are the usual number
that fish grow, says Wilson.

This is the First Great
War When Tobacco Has
Been Given by Nations

In all previous wars the nations en-
gagged have supplied their fighters
more or less generously with food.
equipment and munitions, but rarely
with Injuries. In the present war pub
lie and private agencies have been
working from the outset in ali the
belligerent countries to provide the
soldiers with little, extras" and the
chief of these has been tobacco.
To British soldiers almost uncount-
able millions of cigarettes and hun
dreds of tons of pipe tobacco have
been sent, duty free. But despite
these enormous shipments, the con-
sumption of tobacco IN the British
Isles has steadily increased. The cost
OF tobacco has climbed from IL cents
TO rs cents a pound Cor the low
grade, dark American product, and a
light China tobacco used for blending
purposes has jumped from II cents to
90 cents pound.
Anxiety and nervous strain INSOFAR
able from great war are held re-
sponsible for the increase IN smoking
a home.
England's chief source of supply is
the United States. and the fear is en-
tertained here that owing to the wars
possible interference with production
there and an increased lcme demand.
the amount available for this country
may be materially lessened. Bonded
stocks here are even now dangerously
depleted owing to decreased imports.
France and Italy, with less extern
sive sources Of supply. have spared
no efforts to meet the tobacco needs
Of their soldiers. and the same is true
OF Germany.
The London press is specializing
whether it may not become neces-
sary TO institute some system of to-
haccoing rationing for those smokers
not engaged in productive war work.
