lessor flre, stands 4,500 feet above the sea and Is surrounded by a forest of frs, which it exceeds in height by 30 to 40 feet.
 ''The trunk of this tree is ten me- ters, or little more than thirty feet, in circumference at the base. At about a yard from the ground 1t puts out on the south side, seven offshoots. which have grown into trunks as strong and vigorous as those of the other trees in the forest. Bent and gnarled at the bottom, these side-trunks soon straighten themselves up and rise per pendicularly and parallel to the main stem.
 Another most curious fact is that the two largest side-trunks are con- nected with the principal stem by sub quadrangular braces resembling gird- CTS. These beams have probably been formed by an anastOmosIng of branches, which, common enough among the angio-sperms, is extremely rare among conifers."

to it, plaited at the sides. The coat sleeves broaden the figure by means of little fullness at the top. There is a narrow belt and springtime touches in light buttons, in an over collar of white satin and insert of white in the V-shaped cut-out on the plain cuffs.
 A suit of duvetyn at the right, trimmed with chinchilla fur, com mends itself for either the northern or southern winter, and has much dis tinctive style. The skirt is as narrow as it can be, conveniently; the coat hangs as straight as a plumb-line, but tempers it's severe simplicity with rounded points at the bottom. The sleeves are allowed little fullness at the top and finished at the hand with strap and button trimming. A mar row belt of the cloth suggests the waistline. and very large buttons fas- ten the coat and are lined up on the skirt in way to emphasize the long straight line that will commend this model to many women.

Ben FrankIin,s Simple Diet.

It is amusing to read how Ben Franklin thrived on a biscuit, or a slice of bread, handful of raisins, or tart from the pastry cook and q glass of water. varied at times by boiled rice or potato, or a nasty pud- ding of his own making. Upon this fare grew America's greatest states man and the worlds greatest philoso- pher. The rich and ambitious youth of these days would scorn such a diet. holding that 1t was the eating that made the man. But Benjamin not only saved time and money by his new diet, but as he says: q made greater progress from that greater clearness of head and quicker apprehension which generally attended temperance In eating and drinking" This abstemi- ous life did not seem to detract from his health, but rather contributed to his longevity. for he lived to be eighty four years old.

for that army. This proves th, necessity for the placinc s ~ strong anti-tobacco literature is camps and cantonments, for on, work must be educational.
 No great efficiency organi,. tion except the U. S. army uu accept a cigarette smoker.
 And now, as to this tobacco madness and 'war cigarettos craze, it surely does seem l;l. trying to "sweep the tide win a broom" but it is not the f,st "tide" the w. c. T. U. has at. tempted to sweep backo and has come out victorious.
 If we do not do our part in this sweeping process" this year to prevent the tobacco trust from destroying our boys, both in civil life and in the army, we shall have missed our opportun. ity. We must enlist every mem. Der of our mighty organization and build "dikes" so that the tide will not come in in new places and then work to make the tid. recede. We must use much puh. licity, giving the truth to the people that the cigarette does spell inefficiency. It does affect the lungs, the heart, the kid. neys, the vital organs of our na. tion's defenders. It initiates against self-sacrifce, bravery, alertness, moral character, all of which a soldier needs"
 Pine Bluff Union, under the leadership of Mrs. Murphy, is. waging war against the cigar cite. She has a strong pledge that she is circulating, the slo. gan of which is "clean up." One 16 year old boy, Norman Smith has secured several hundred signers anf expects to visit every school and Sunday schod in Pine Bluff.

WORTHY OF MORE MENTOR
ated in Life or Appropriately Honored in Death.

Following a railway accident recent. ly, there was great relief in official circles when the report was made that only brakeman had been killed. Only a brakeman! And there were nun. dreds of others waiting to fill his shoes. -.l 1st
 Only brakeman His name was not given in the telegraphie report of the accident. He had not made name to which the world would pay tribute. There were only few friends who knew him In the railway Y. M. c. A. and brother and sister in Russia, Home, family, friends he had left in the land of oppression to come to America, the country of opportunity. Alone, ignorant, uatrained in Amerl- can ways, he was only brakeman in the official report telling of his death.
 Only brakeman. Yet it is such as he who are moving eur freight, truck. ing the meat that supplies our tables, hauling the coal that heats our homes bringing the milk with which we feed our babies. Standing on top of their freight cars, leaning against the wind with the dust of the deserts in their faces, the roar of the engines in their ears, and the grime of the nations on their hands, wherever you find cars. engines, freight, soot, danger, there you will find the. brakeman, toiling sleeplessly, hopefully, accomplishing ly, with death stalking ever at his side, to give us comforts and make our homes happy. Yet when the car couplers pinch him within their giant jaws or the wrecked train crushes out his life beside the railway track, the reports that the public reads record the death of onlyra brakeman.--Mil- waukee Journai.s q tr4

A CALL OF THE HOUR

We agree with our national superintendent of anti-narcotics who says: "The tobacco ques- tion has now passed the stage where we can longer afford to be "lukewarm" toward 1t. The critical time has arrived when the work of this department must become the work of the entire w. c. T. U. and every christian in this country"
 Great and powerful forces are hard at work, sparing no money to make smokers of our Ameri- can youth.
 The cigarette business for January and February 1917, showed a gain of 30 per cent over the same time of 1916. It will be even more this year, for ex- perts say it will require 500,OOO,- 900 cigarettes per month for our army, or 6,000,000,000 a year

cornmeaI in Honduras.

Because of the marked success of recent governmental and private cf- forts to promote the production of more cereals during the period of the war writes Consul Walter F. Boyle, Puerto Cortes, an American company has imported and erected the first mill for the milling of cornmeal. This was purchased in the United States and has been erected at San Pedro, Sula, Honduras. It is a small equipment, but marks the beginning of new in- dustry.

A trim, freSh-looking and practical tailored suit is the mainstay of the American wOman'S wardrobe, every month in the year. Sometimes it hap pens that she must choose new one just between seasons, as in February or January. Winter suits are offered at bargain prices then, and early spring styles have appeared. enticing- ly new and tempting. The shopper is torn between two minds, and no one can settle the matter for her. It must be decided by the climate she lives in, the kind of service she requires of the suit, becomingness of the styles and other personal matters.
 Winter and spring styles compare notes in the two suits shown here. At the left an advance model for spring reveals a trin affair of dark-colored cloth, with a plain skirt that does not commit itself to the very narrow style which has been considerably heralded. The coat approves tic conservation of wool by being short, enforcing its opinion especially in the back of the garment, which is shorter than the front. This is a fine model for a slen- der figure, with yoke to the shoul- 1ers and the front and back attached

WOMAM'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION
from ARKANSAS WHITE RIBsoHeR-


f+%<%<+<<<<<<++<+*<<<<<<<<
 Whether or not our soldier boys in France are being de- bauched by wine and beer, it is notorious fact that the saloon lover here" is doing its deadly work among the civilians, and therefore it is no time to 'let up" on prohibition effort.
 When thirty-eight freweries are running at full speed in and near Philadelphia, using coal and grain while the people are suffering; when the Poth brew cry in Camden, New Jersey, is allowed to use coal when the papers had announced that there were only AS hours coal supply left in the city-not to say any thing of the grain used, can there be found a single reason to "stack arms" and cease fir ing?
 It is said that coal company had a yearly contract to furnish the Poth brewing company with coal, and it also had a contract with the Baldwin Locomotive and munitions works to furnish them coal-the latter company employing 25, ,0OO men-and that the sales agent realizing the shortage of coal, went to the fuel administration at Washington and asked permission to cancel their contract with the brewing company and received a negative answer. As long as this state of things exists, what think ye of people saying there is no need to work?
 There is still more to this tale. It seems too heartlesS to relate, but it is given as true. The same date that the Philadelphia papers announced the shortage of coal the Electric Storage Bat tery Go. of Philadelphia, that was making munitions for the government had to close down for lack of coal; the Henry Dis ton & Sons (Inc.), the great manufacturers of saws and hard ware, had to close down for lack of fuel and throw out of employ ment 4,0O0 men. There is so much to the story that we cease to relate it. Just few more items. Calvary Methodist church closed for lack of coal, but the breweries went on. The hotels asked guests not to raise win dows so heat would be con- served. Hospitals suffered, etc., etc., but the smokestacks of the breweries belched forth-no talk of conscripting the coal for ne> cessities-the 38 breweries must run and thus spoil the grain needed for bread, soups, etc.

Washington, July N.-The trans
portation facilities of the expedi-
tionary army are fully meeting the
strain placed upon them in keeping
the moving troops supplied and III
bringing up heavy guns and ammu-
nition, members of the house were
told yesterday by General March.
Figures furnished the committee
members showed that the death rate
in battle has been eight per thou
sand while there was exactly the
same proportion of deaths from
disease among the cxpeditionary
forces. The officials said this un-
doubtedly was the lowest death rate
among troops at war in the history
of the world.
Members of the committee in-
quired as to the losses by the Ger
mans in killed since the present
battle started, but General March
said he had no information on that
subject, adding tina, the American
forces were too busy pressing their
offensive TO even attempt to esti-
mate the German dead.
