Watch Heart in Lobar Pneumonia.

Deaths of pneumonia patients are
due either to heart failure or to sep
ticemia, seldom, if ever, to insufficient
aeration of the blood in the lungs, says
DIR. e. P. Hershey of Denver in his
prize answer to the New York Medical
Journals question, "How do you treat
lobar pneumoniaT
DR.. Hershey says the heart must be
watched and stimulated with digitalis.
If it can be obtained the appropriate
vaccine is to be used. In spite OF
prejudice, he recommends the ice bag.
If the patient be alcoholic he u
have whiskey or brandies; If not, all
LIQUOR must be cut out. A generous
diet, but without meat, is necessary.
Open-air treatment is c%onquering an
cient prejudice. Sudden rise of tenn
perature on the third. fifth or seventh
day is no cause for alarm, and de-
pressing medicines at this time may
mean death.

Army Horses Good

It's a weary, wicked world If you
are an army horse. You may or may
not approve of shoes, but you've got
to have them just the same. The
French authorities have an ingenious
contrivance which so pinions a horse
that he has absolutely nothing to say
in the matter. 1t holds his head. n
holds his feet and holds his body, n
forcibly prevents him from expressing
an opinion, or choosing his shoes, or
making a protest in any way. Ii they
would only let a fellow get in just n
real horse-size kick one cOuld-but
what's the use. In the meantime the
farrier gets in his fine work, and then
it is too late. Yes, it's a hard, cold,
cruel world, SO it is. Still, shoes are
not so bad and they give a dandy heft
to ones hind hoofs in arguments later
on in the camps.

FAIL TO GERMANIzE HOLLAND
Dutch Character Has Successfully Re-
sisted All Efforts Made by lts
Powerful Neiohbor.

That Germany covets Holland is no
diplomatic or other secret. Everybody
knows it. Considering the Dutch char
acter and pride in national independ-
ence which they have manifested ever
since the Dutch language assumed final
shape as evidence Of distinct national
ity, Ii has seemed best to the Hohen-
zollerns to proceed by peaceful means.
among which none Is more patent than
intermarriage among influential fam
flies. And especially there is desired
marriages of German princes and
Processes into the House of Orange,
which for some centuries, either as
Stockholders or kings, has been the gov
erning head of the Dutch state.
There has been great success in Sc
curing German marriages. The mother
of Queen Wilhelmina was a German
princess and her husband Is a German
prince.
But, while there has been success in
securing German husbands or wives
for the House of Orange, the assimila-
ton has been from. German into Dutch
and not from Dutch into German. We
recall no German prince or princess
who has married into the House of
Orange who has not turned out to be
as loyal a Dutchman or Dutchwoman
as the most ardent Hollander could de-
sire, observes the San Francisco Chron-
icle.
The fact is that the sturdy Dutch
character persists from generation to
generation and forms n of the most
distinctive types of the human species.
This is not because the German rulers
have not constantly tried to mold 1t
over, but because they have failed to
do SO.
And d. the modern Germans are
impatient that they have dallied SO
long with peaceful can and are for
taking by force what they cannot get
otherwise.

"TEDDY" FAILED TO MAKE HIT
Roosevelt Tells of Amusing Experience
Of His Youthful Days In the
Cattle Country.

In the oldtime cattle country and In
the backwoods nobody was supposed
to think of any necessary work as de-
grading. Abiding to oldstyle Ameri-
can conditions in a recent issue of the
American, Theodore Roosevelt narrates
his experiences as a shoe black. He
says reminiscently:
II remember that once. when there
was a lull in outdoor work, / en-
deavOred to be useful in and around
the house. l fed the pigs; and on an
idle morning / BACKED all the boots.
Ordinarily our boots did not need
blacking-most of them were not that
kind. On this occasion l started, with
an enthusiasm hat outran my judg-
ment, to black the dress boots of every
one of both sexes. / coated them with
a thick, dull paste; only a few knobs
became shiny and the paste came on
freely on what it touched. AS a result
l temporarily lost not merely the re-
spect but even the affection of all the
other inmates of the house.
However, l did not lose caste be-
cause l had BACKED the boots. l lost
caste because l had BACKED them bad
ly. But 1 was allowed to continue feed
ing the pigs. The pigs were not so par
ticular as the humans"

Fish Being Planted

James Vought, in charge of the
fish hatchery at Verdi and other
Nevada points, recently returned
from headquarters on the Carson
river, where he planted 10000 rain
bow trout. During this season over
100000 young trout have been
planted in the Carson river and, as
most of them have gone up the riv-
er, they will escape the drying out
of the lower end of the stream.
Vought states hat he is having
trouble this a owing to falling
water in the many creeks and
streams that are usually planted.
Cloudbursts have cleaned out sever
al stream il the eastern part of the
state, which will have to be re-
planted.

DISABLED ARMY OFFICERS TO

SPOKANE, Wash, Aug. IA. =
Disabled British army officers are
to be located on orchard tracts in
the Wenatchee country, Washing
ton, where they can r%ecuperate I'M
der healthful conditions and where
their services will be of value.
Captain Grierson Jackson of the
royal field artillery and Lieutenant
Lynne Smith of the royal garrison
artillery have been in the district
three months making preliminary
arrangements for the placing of the
disabled officers. The work is be-
ing done under the auspices of the
Imperial Association of Disabled Of
ficers.
The two representatives viii req
main permanently in the orchard
country, securing desirable sites
and locating the beneficiaries as
fast as they are sent over. Captain
Jackson is thoroughly familiar with
the apple industry of the Pacific
northwest, having been engaged in
it at Wenatchee before the war be-
gan.

Shortest Railroad.

You have heard of shortest rail-
roads before. Always they're the mos
abbreviated ever. But off-hand one
would grant the prize to Missoula.
Mont. 1t has a railroad only 100 feet
long. 1t connects the Northern Pacific
with the c., NJ. & st. p, and is used as
a transfer. 1t has no equipment, no
employees, and no stations. yet the
company that owns it gets so cents for
every car that passes over its rails.
Sixteen thousand have done so thus
far. Think Of MEPopular Science

What the poor citizen wants is not
charity, or even sympathy, still less

social soil of s~elf-respect. That Is why
he is sometimes happier as a soldier,
in spite of all the sickening horrors or
soldering; because humanity always

Thus, Gilbert K. Chesterton, writ

its premises, contains the following:

In the trenches, the object of such

"He has lived by trades that are
too often treated as merely grimy or

HAS KEPT TOUCH WITH PAST
Old Tarrytown on the Hudson Refuses
to Become Part of Modern
Hustle and Bustle.

Safely aloof from the rush and
scramble which typifes Long Island
today lies Tarrytown on the Hudson.
The solidarity and leisurely prosperity
of Tarrytown have kept it from being
swept along with the stream of world
ly progress. 1t has tarried.
1t has kept its legends and traditions,
it's landmarks and historic buildings.
1t still likes to look at the monument
marking the spot where Andre, the spy,
was captured. 1t likes to recall with
thrills of local pride "The Legend of
Sleepy Hollow" until it sees again the
headless horseman pursuing the luck
less Ichabod.
There are other specters of which
the locality can boast, notably that OF
Andre, also on horseback, who can be
heard at night riding at high speed up
the road on which he was captured. AT
the fatal spot the sound of hoofs
ceases, naturally enough, leaving the
chance nearer to scuttle home with
unseemly haste.
Night is an excellent time to go sight
seeing in T%arrytown. There is the
Sleepy Hollow graveyard, which no Wis
itor would wish to miss, and which has
an additional charm when viewed by
moonlight. There is always the posi-
bility hat some illustriOus resident of
the place may come forth to take the
air and wander once again to his old
home or to the market place.

TOURISTS WOULD

NIGHT LIFE OF FRENCH CAPT.
tai is THING OF
PAST

LONDON, Aug. 8. - The Paris
correspondent of the Daily Express
writes that he climbed the hill to
the Butte of Montmartre the other
day and looked down over Paris be-
meath a pail of smoke.
He trod the paths followed by the
pre-war tourists, traversing the
Montmartre they knew, with the
gilded, mirrored night restaurants.
would you could see those plac-
es now" he continues. "The Rat
Mort and the Abbaye look like di-
lapidated Irish homesteads; the
sails of the Moulin Rouge have
crumbled to dust. Then I left the
Montmartre the tourists knew, cross
ed the Place Blanche, and began a
steep climb up the Rue LEIPZIG. There
were no signs of panic on the Butte.
The Montmartois cannot afford the
luxury of flight, SO they carry on.
'Three-quarters of the way up
the hill stands the Moulin de Ga
lette, a famous old mill which be-
came a dancing place where young
men took their sweethearts on Sat
urday night. Now the young men
are in the trenches and the young
in the munition factories,
and the old mill is forsaken.
Zone turns to the left on pass
ing the mill and suddenly plunges
into a different atmosphere. The
goat-herd shepherds his flock across
the cobblestones and makes strange
sounds on his flute, and those who
would buy come out and purchase
goats milk.
Premier Clemenceau was once
mayor of Montmartre, and there are
still living on the heights old peo-
pie who helped put him there. To-
day they sit in the sun and smoke
and talk quietly and wait. They
are too old to do anything else

SOLDIERS FORGET
IN HEAT OF
BATTLE
REACTION FROM EXCITEMENT
OF FIGHT CAUSES DE-
PRESTON
BEHIND BRITISH LII

BEHIND BRITISH LINES IN
FRANCE, Aug. 10. = Neither ia
tigue duty nor working parties are
popular with the soldier, but they
serve a great purpose because in
modern war mans greatest enemy
is likely to be his own imagination.
In the heat of acton he has no time
for thought. The horrors of war
cannot force their way through his
preoccupied mind.
But later, when the excitement
has died away, the reaction sets in,
and a realization of the past begins
to depress and deaden his vitality,
for the memories of a modern bat
tie are more terrible than the actual
experience.
The only antidote to this depres-
sion lies in action and activity. Ac-
ton provides distraction for the
mind.
It is this that the working party
supplies, and in spite of the gener-
ally abusive terms applied to it by
the soldier, it is really doing him a
service.
