Huoe HailStoneS,

There are numerous well-authenti
Gated cases of hailstones weighing half
a pound and more, but claims which
go far beyond this meager weight are
made. Stones Of six to eight pounds
are said to have fallen in Namur in
1719, and the missionary, Father Hue,
who ought to be a credible witness,
records the fall in Tartary in 1S43 of
a block Of ice as big as a milestone,
which took three days to melt. In
May, 1902, a Hungarian village report
ed an 1,100-pound block, requiring
eight men to move it, and in Tippoo's
time one as big as an elephant was
said to have fallen near Sergapatam.
These are "some' hailstOnes.

The day was not ended when we
finally retraced our way across the
narrow dixie to the mainland, pre-
pared to resume our journey. The
passage was slow and dangerous, and
we made it on foot, leading the horses.
The woods were already beginning to
darken as we forded the north branch
of the creek and came forth through a
fringe Of forest trees into a country
of rolling hills and narrow valleys.
The two girls were already mounted,

our eyes met. There could be but one
conclusion-our pursuers had found
the trail.

In the Ace Of ChivaIry.

Most persons will be surprised to
hear that the idea of women requir-
ing escort, especially Of really pro-
tective nature, is Of comparatively
modern origin. But such appears to
he the case. Nothing strikes one
more forcibly in the study of medieval
literature than the absolute freedom
women enjoyed to travel and wander
alone without fear of molestation. The
times were unsettled undoubtedly.
and men lived for fighting only. But,
nevertheless, the helpless and defense
less were safe enough so far as one
can judge from contemporary litera-
ture. 1t is not to be denied that they
came to grief occasionally, but as a
general rule men respected the other
sex in the days of chivalry, and even
the worst of scoundrels allowed an un-
protected woman to ride by unharmed.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local appIications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There Ia
only one way to cure Catarrhal Deafness,
and that is by a constitutional remedy.
HALLS CATARRH MEDICINE acts
through the Blood on the Mucous Surfaces
OF she System. Catarrhal Deafness Is
caused by an inflaued condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube Is indamed you have
rumbling sound or imperfect Tearing. and
when II Is entirely closed, Deafness Is the
result. Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing may be destroyed
forever. Many cases Of Deafness are
caused by Catarrh, which is an infiamed
condition of the Mucous Surfaces.
ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS for any
case OF Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by HALLS CATARRH

cuba,s Debt to United States.

Cuba never reimbursed the United
States for the money spent there dur
ing and after the Spanish war, unless
the coaling stations on the island may
be so considered. By the terms of
settlement with Spain, when the war
ended, the United States practically
made the Cubans free gift of their
country, which might have been in
cluded with Porto Rico ceded to this
country by Spain. Not only that, but
this government expended thousands
of dollars in permanent improve
ments in Cuba before turning the island
over to the government formed by the
CubanS.

Cucumber Pickle.

Gather cucumbers as they reach the
desired size and put them into a clean
stone jar. with layer of salt in the
bottom and enough salt to cover them
on top. Add little water at first to
start the brine, and put weight or
top to keep the cucumbers under. As
you add more cucumbers, add salt also
to cover them. When you wish to
use the cucumbers. take them out and
put them into a preserving kettle
with cabbage leaves over and among
them. Cover with cold water, and
set on the stove where they will
lea1ly scald, but not boil. Allow
them to cool over night, or until they
are as fresh as you like them, then
pack into jars, adding some little red
peppers and pieces of horseradish.
Boil enough good strong cider vinegar
to cover them and pour over them
while hot.

THE GALORE THEORY
AND IT'S RELATION
TO HEALTH
Value of Any Food Dependant
Upon Condition Of the
Body

Professional nurses are talking
about the "calorie" theory and some
Of them collect fees for their familiar
ity with it.
Even restaurants have fallen under
the spell and are initiating the scien-
tifc leaders of thought who look down
from lofty pinnacles Of wisdom and
smile indulgently as they witness the
spread of the silliest fetish that ever
cursed the medical world.
A calorie is a unit of measure. 1t
has the same relation to heat mea-
surement as the inch bears to the
yardstick or the ounce to the ordin-
ary balance.
If twenty drops Of water are so
heated that their temperature goes up
one degree the amount of heat re-
quired to send the mercury up in the
then 1ometer to this extent is said to
te calorie.
The scientists, speaking of twenty
drops of water, describe this quantity
as a gram. 1t can thus be seel that
the heat required to raise the teln-
rerature of one gram of water two
degrees it takes four calories to do
II.
After Barnes, by experimenting in
his laboratory, had established the
principle that the relation of heat to
energy could be expressed with the
accuracy and precision of mathematics
he was able to prove that if one
calorie of yeat is prot tuced lin a
steam engine enough energy can be
obtained therefrom to lift a load of

and forgot for the moment the use to
which that modernity had been put.
Finally, the Germans seemed clean,
as to a stranger small boy will seem
clean; the small boys mother knows
that he has washed only the visible
portions of his anatomy, and has
washed that much oaly because he
was forced to. In other words, the
American soldier had left a country
where the principal occupation had
been to win war and to recover from
the war, he entered a country where
the principal occupation was to please
him and to win his sympathy. There
IS small wonder that all the exaspera-
tions he had been subjected to in
France grew into disaffection for
the French people as he walked the
paths efficiently strewn with roses by
the Germans. But he is too keen TO
be taken in in the long run, and his
mature consideration will. reveal to
him that the Germans did not cease
to be his enemy on the eleventh of
November, and that their new attack
was aimed at his self-respect. The
same mature consideration will also
convince him tn TAFT is to the advan-
tage Of both parties, and to the ad-
vantage of the world, to try to un-
del stand and appreciate the man who
has the same standard of honor and of
justice that he has, though in man.

When all sorts of rumors and fam
tastic tales in disparagement of the
French people are circulated by re-
turned soldiers. the straightforward,
manly defense Of our great allies
penned by David Carb in a recent
issue of Century, is particularly time
ly.
Mr.. Carb spent four years working
among the French first as an Ameri-
can ambulance driver previous to
America entrance into the war and
later as an officer in the Foreign Leg
ion Of the French Army, after he was
rejected for physical reasons at
Platt>5urg and at 4 recruiting station
in New FORK. He is admirably fitted
therefore to give the point Of view Of
one who has seen French life, both
civilian al.~ military. 10 analyze. as
he dooI. clearly and forcibly, the
character and and attitude Of the
French.
The title Of his article. "They Are
Not Like Us". sounds the keynote Of
his defense of this brave pcople-a
defense written because as he says,
at would seem wiser not to ignore
the situation, but rather to try to un-
derstand it's causes, and if they are
based on misunderstanding or in
complete knowledge to present the
truth and thus eliminate what might
eventually, if left to grow, tarnish one
of the first ideals and one of the
warmest international friendships
that history knows"
The author contrasts clearly what
Americans expected to find in France
with what they actually found. After
Verdun the French became in the pub
lie estimation supermen. Paeans
were chanted and songs sung until a
mental picture was created in which
the French wore wings and the Ger
mans horns. The American soldier,
however, did not find a glorified peo-
pie, but ordinary, everyday folks, who
welcomed them with joyous affection
then turned to the grim business of
war. Moreover, when he entered Ger
many he found just ordinary folk,
too, who did not wear horns, but who
did their utmost to make the Yank
think that they could never have been
capable of frightfulness. That was
part of their new propaganda.

immortality in France.

Because he saw at the ports, and on
the Paris bOulevards, an unusu al num-
Der of prostitutes, and because of his
precOnceived notions of the frivolity
Of the French, he concluded that the
French people are immotal. He for
got similar conditions near the train
ing camps and navy yarGs at home
and the campaigns necessary to drive
prostitutes from the streets. These
unfortunates in France subsist on
strangers, not on Frencnmen, and as
the number of strangers has increas-
ed So has the number of prostitutes.
The French seemed 'queer" to the
Americans, so did the English for that
matter, though having the same Ian
guage and the same source of civili-
cation. There are physical conditions
responsible for this. The venture of
discovery in oil for example, is still
possible in this country. In France
the earth has been discovered and
mapped years ago, so the Frenchman
cultivates his garden.
