Cigarettes as Anesthetic
For the Wounded Soldiers

: There is much difference of opinion
as to the effect of cigarettes upon the
soldiers who smoke them. A scientific
investigation is said to show that Gig
arctic smoking has direct effect on the
heart, decreasing the smokers ability
to do hard work and to resist fatigue.
On the other hand there is evidence
that cigarettes keep the men up to
their tasks. es
Mrs. Charles 81. Farnam. Long Is
land woman, who has just returned
from Serbia, where she spent several
years in hospital work and where she
earned the rank Of sergeant, deliver
ed a lecture one night recently In
Brooklyn, In the course Of which she
said: as
'"The soul Of life In the Serbian army
Is q cigarette. The men so through
the greatest agonies If they have Gig
arettes in their mouths and never
think Of the pain. In most of the hos
pitals there is a shortage Of anesthet-
les. When a soldier is brought in to
be operated on they simply give him
a cigarette to smoke during the or
deal and he goes through 1t happily" !"
It Is probable that both views rs to
the effect are correct; the excessive
smoking being bad for the heart, and
the use Of the cigarette being sOoth-
Ing and Strengthening In time Of ex-
citement, trial and pain. The wound
ed soldier Is always given a cigarette,
E and seems to be helped thereby to bear
his trouble with patience.-Moblle

Insect Language.

Insects. like birds and animals, have
their calls, naturalists say. But the
sounds they produce include the rub
bing together of their limbs or wing
covers and the vibration Of their
wings, so they cannot always be spoken
of as voices. Flies and bees unudoubt-
edly mean something when they hum
louder and .louder-Excaange.

Whether the war be long or short there will be great demand for trained nurses, especially those who are willing to take up the public health work and to prepare themselves adequately. for it.

DID WORK OF HIGH ORDER
Designs Wrought by Ancient Peruvian
Oyers Have Been Given Much
Praise by Experts.

The ancients of Peru, by curious
coincidence-for there could not pos
sibly have been any intercourse with
their contemporaries in India and
Egypt-seem to have used much the
same kind Of processes in printing
their designs upon the fabrics they
manufactured. Both Herodotus and
Pliny, among early historians, have
told us about the cloths of vegetable
fiber made by the ancients; but in all
likelihood the fabrics of the Peruvians
were Of even a more remote date. In
some respects the methods Of TO-DAY
bear strong resemblance to the older
practice. The chief difference con-
sists in the patterns now being en-
graved upon copper rollers and several
colors being printed at one time. Just
as today the coloring matter Of dyes
is not affixed by merely printing 1t on
the material, but is secured by means
of substance known as mordant, so
did the Peruvians make use of prop.
erty which caused the dye to adhere
and to withstand test of thousands
of years wear and tear. Experts have
declared that in the direction Of tech
nical and artistic value the designs In
question have no equal.

Recently some rich ore discoveries
have been made in the Ward district

The minerals first to be considered
with respect to increased production
are potash, arsenic and chromium.
According to the Federal Bureau of
Mines, which maintains research
branch in connection with the School
OF Mines at Golden, the war and peace
situation as it stands today will not
stop mineral Investigations in this
country under the provisions OF the
war minerals bill, although the prob
ability of peace has not been without
its effect on the plans now under con-
sideration.

Ewing and associates of the White
Raven mines, have purchased the
Rook group of mines west of the Puz

ent workings are only 95 feet, in
which one of the most remarkable de-
posits of silver-lead ores in the county
has been exposed.
