you have done well and will have due
credit for your loyalty and generosi-
ty. If, on the other hand, you have
raked, scraped and saved all that you
could get your hands upon and not
contributed much to the good Of the
community you will have your proper
rating. Did you bring a family with
you and have you given your children
a good education and have you seen
them grow up into useful n respec-
table citizens? If so, you have reason
10 be proud OF the fact. II you have
let the opportunity pass and your boy
or girl has been distanced by their
neighbors, you may have had cause to
regret il now or in the near future.
Did you bring a good reputation with
you and have kept the same without
blemish? IL so, your example has
been helpful to others and your life
is a blessing. If you let yourself down
because you were away from your old
home, you will have experienced many
uncomfortable days and hours and will
experience more Of them in the days
to come, unless you change your
habits. Since you established your
self as a citizen, have you done every
thing in your power to preserve the
good name Of the city? Do you de-
fend it on all occasions and set a good
example in obeying its laws and or
dinances and trying to keep it clean?

to the city because of its reputation
for sobriety, morality and Sabbath

MODERN BATHS FOR SOLDIERS
Warriors of Leading Armies finley
Hot and Cold Water, Showers
and Individual Tubs.

So perfect are the sanitary ar
rangements of the leading armies en-
gagged in the European conflict that
it may be stated without exaggera-
ton that a soldier at the front can
take his bath under almost normal
conditions, writes war correspond
ent.
For instance, he has an individual
regulation bathtub at his disposal,
and all the hot and cold water neces-
sary. And in many cases there is a
shower bath at hand for those who
wish to use it.
The travelling bath caravan recent
ly donated to the Belgian army by
the wounded allies committee con-
sists of truck which carries a dozen
or more bathtubs and a water-heat-
ing plant, as well as roll-up tent.
In actual service the bathtubs are
taken off the truck and placed on
the ground, under the shelter OF the
tent. Hot and cold water may be
brought to the tubs by means of
flexible hose, while the bathtubs can
be drained in the same manner
through short length of hose which
carries the waste water outside OF

NEW ANTIsEPTIc IS USED
French Soldiers Supplied With Powder
Intended for Immediate Applica-
ton to Wounds.

AS an antiseptic for immediate
use upon wounds, Chief Surgeon
Vincent Of the French army, inven-
tor of one of the best systems Of anti
typhoid vaccination, is distribut-
ing to the soldiers little jars Of a
powder based upon DR.. Alexis Car
rePs hypochlorite antiseptic fluid,
with glass tubes through which to
blow the powder on the wound.
Doctor Vincent's invention is
chloride of lime mixed with boracic
acid, both in powder form. Its APP
plication causes no pain, even il
nerves be exposed, only sense Of
warmth. The powder dissolves very
slowly, so that its antiseptic action is
prolonged for several hours.
According to La Nature, treat
ment with this powder has proved
so successful that Doctor Vincent is
instructing all the regimental sur
geons in its use.

LUCK HAS FAITH IN NAME
Automobile Driver, Hurt in Bad Spill,
Asserts He Can Justly Claim
Charmed Life.

There is much in a name, accord
ing to the physicians at hospital
where Anton Luck, twenty-four-
year-old farmer, was taken following
an automobile accident, says an ex-
change.
Luck, who was returning home
with party of five other young men,
was driving his automobile and had
turned out when he realized he could
not pass another automobile ap-
preaching from the opposite direc-
ton in time.
He drove his car up the bank at
the side of the road, threw himself
and his five friends out Of the car
and when he reached the hospital he
announced he could not be hurt, as
he told the physicians he bore a
charmed name.
Although the physicians said
Luck had received a few score
scratches and was severely bruised,
no bones were broken, and the man
seemed to be all he believed himself
to be as far as the name went. His
friends, who were shaken up consid-
erably, were able to go to their
homes.

"ATTABOY," THE BATTLE CRY
Familiar Baseball Term So Popular in
United States Has Found Way
to the Trenches.

There is one purely American cry
which was heard on the battlefelds
Of Europe before our first troops ar
rived there. 1t is the baseball yell,
"Attaboy," which is the brief and
sharp way of saying chats the boy"
This word may become the battle
shout, the rallying cry, the yell Of
the charge when our boys go into
action. Certainly it has been fire.
quently used along the western front
from the channel to Switzerland and
also on the italian front. Carried
abroad by English, French and Ital-
ians who lived in the United States,
but who returned when the war
broke out, this distinctly baseball ex-
preston has often been echoed in the
trenches.
American newspaper correspond
ents visiting the front in Flanders
and in the snow-buried Italian Alps
have time and again been greeted by
this word. 1t was like a message
from home and was intended to let
the visitors know that some one from
home was there doing his bit. 1t has
been a cry of recognition and well
come.
All baseball fans are familiar with
this word made famous by Hugh
Jennings, and doubtless a majority
Of them firmly believe he coined the
expression, Perhaps he did, although
it is stated on fairly good authority
that it came into use in the days of
'Pop" Arson. But it was Jennings
who fastened it upon the public
mind, and Jennings always will be
associated with popularizing it

HUNGER CAUSES NEW DISEASE
Manifests Itself by Swelling OF Feet
and Legs-Bed and Hospital Diet
Found Necessary.

One of the results of the restricted
diet now enforced in Germany is a
new disease due to malnutrition.
This, which is called an "oedema dis
ease," and is now very prevalent, Is
discussed in the Deutsche Medium
ische Wochenschrift by four physi-
clans who have been studying it,
two in the general hospital of Ham
burg-Barmbeck, one among indus
trial workers in West Prussia and
one in the prison camps.
This disease manifests itself by
swelling of the feet and legs, some
times of the hands, and often Of the
face. The blood is found to be
watery. Rest in bed on ordinary hos
pital diet is followed by recovery,
but this is very slow.

USE OF OTHER SENSES.

Sir Arthur Pearson tells of an in
teresting conversation he had with
his old friend, Lieut.. Gen. Sir Rob
ert Baden-Powell, who, although
he has excellent eyesight, makes a
habit Of doing many things as
though he were blind. He blindfolds
himself for regular periods, and che
encourages his Boy Scouts to do the
same thing, recognizing that by tenn
porarily depriving themselves of the
use of sight, they are enabled to cul-
tivate the use of the other senses to
a degree which is impossible so long
as the eye is employed"

EXPLORE CLIFF ST0REHOUSE
Explorers Find WeII.Preserved Flint
Corn and Seeds in Primitive
Structure Used by indians.

Though settlers have lived in
Nine-Mile canon, near Harper,
Utah, for perhaps third of cen
fury, it was only recently that a
primitive structure built high up on
the almost perpendicular wall Of the
gulch was explored, says an ex-
change.
The building, which is regarded as
the work of cliff dwellers, is made Of
adobe and stone and occupies a niche
in the rugged wall 60 feet above the
floor of the canon and is practically
inaccessible. After letting down over
100 feet Of rope from the top Of the
wall an investigator descended by
this precarious means and gained ac-
cess to the primitive shelter.
Here he found several ears of
well-preserved flint corn, such as is
now grown on many arid western
farms, and quantity Of seeds re-
sembling squash seeds. Neither ro-
dents nor birds had molested this
supply. The dry climate doubtless
aided in preventing its decay.
Poles extending across the top
were built into the masonry and
probably once formed part of a
larger structure. 1t is thought that
the primitive people used this, to-
gether with other shelters in the
canon, as reserve storehouses, and
that access to them was gained with
the aid of ladders and poles.
