ARTIST HELPS TRAP
The ELUSIVE COOTIE

The mirror method Of deceiving
coolies into migrating from the dough
boy to mirage happyland has been
given the publicity it deserves, says
Stars and Stripes. And Science has
jumped in again to take a new wallop
at the overgrown germs.
Down at Bordeaux a doctor, mi
croscope, an artist with a sharp pen
Gil, and a reg ment of mademoiselles
armed with big magnifying glasses
are ruthlessly running down the har-
assed coolies that the bathers and de-
lousers have let go through.
Complaints came from the salvage
sheds that the French girls engaged
in sorting clothing left by men enter
ing the delouSing rooms couldn't be
sure they were getting all the coolies,
because the girls d dn't know what a
cootie looked like.
The base salvage officer captured
one dozen prosperous looking coolies
and put them in bottle. A medical
officer then gave a lecture on cootie
birth control. An artist put the coolies
under microscope and sketched them
in enlargement Then the girls took
the magnifying glasses and looked for
rope walking camels on khaki ridges
and valleys.
Result: Only one nest of cootie
eggs was found in 10000 garments ex-
amined In one day.

ROOSEVELT FAVORED.
COURT OF NATIONS

The one effective move for obtaining
peace is by an agreement among the
great powers, in which each should
pledge itself not only to abide by .he
decisions of a common tribunal, but to
back its decisions with force. The
great civilized nations should combine
by solemn agreement in great world
league for the peace of righteousness.
A court should be created-a changed
and amplif1ed Hague court would meet
the requirements-com of repre-
sentatives from each nation, these rep
resentatives being sworn to act as
judges in each case, and not in a rep
resentative capacity.
* * *
The nations should agree on certain
rights that should not be questioned,
such as territorial integrity, their light
to deal with their own domestic affa rs
and with such matters as whom or
whom not they should admit to citizen
ship. All should guarantee each OF
their number in possession of these
rights. All should agree that other
matters at issue between any of them,
Or between any of them and any one
Of number of specified outside civil
lied nations, should be submitted to
the court as above constituted.

POULTRY FARM

H. E, Mansfield of Reedsburg writes
to his daughter about the biggest pout-
try farm in California as follows:
Yesterday had to go to Petaluma.
which is in the poultry and fruit SEES
ton of the State. From that shipping
point last year there went out thirteen
millions of eggs, eight hundred thou
sand chickens. The whole valley ts
dotted with these chicken ranches of
greater or lesser importance. Some
of them are laid out very beautifully
and others apparently have grown to-
-bigness from small beginnings and
bear the somewhat haphazard appear
ance incident to that kind of growth
1t developed that we had little leix-
ure after my business was concluded
so we walked out to the Corliss ranch.
about three miles from town.
This is said to be the largest poultry
ranch in the world, and has between
forty and fifty thousand hens 1t rs
rather 'saDpeinting to look at from
the outside, because it has been a de-
velopment and betrays a lack of unity
and plan. However, We were fortu-
nate enough to get inside. We climbed
the windmill toker and got splendid
view of the whole place. 1t was feed
ing time and we saw more chickens
on the run in five minutes than WIS
shall probably ever see again.
The chickens in the Petaluma valley
are practically all White Leghorns ana
the whole machinery OF the ranches Is
directed toward egg production. The
little chicks are Matched at big central
hatcheries, SO as to allow the regular
job of egg production to go on without
disturbance.

HEARTS OF WORLD
 STIRRING DRAMA

Hearts of the World" the supreme triumph of D. w Griffith, to be pre- sented at the Eagle Jheater three days, commencing tomorrow, has inaugurat- ed a new era in the realm of the screen drama. Here, with the great war as a background Mir. Griffith has filmed a simple little love story, old as the ages, yet ever new.
 Hearts of the World" has proven the latest sensation in the screen world Mir Griffith realized that the public, which became enthusiastic over "The Birth of a Nation and Tn tolerance, would expect something biz from him in this latest picture, and. therefore, instead of trying to outdo himself in staging gigantic battle scenes, he used the great war only as a background for the filming of a simple and attractive story of tre mendOus human interest. The Hearts of the World" will be shown twice daily, o'clock afternoons, and s o'clock at night.

SMASHUP OF FLIVVER MYSTERY SURROUNDS

Mystery surrounds the wrecking at about 2 o'clock yesterday morning of a five-passenger Ford automobile own ed by F. Williamson. a miner en- ployed in the Junction mine. The au- tomobile was struck by a Lowell bound street car in front of the Texas garage and was carried a distance of about 29 feet before the car was brought to a standstill.
 According to Mir Williamson, he, with a friend, returned at about 10:3O o'clock and. finding the garage closed, parked the automobile at the entrance. It is not known how the car came to be on the tracks, but it is thought that an attempt was made to steal the au- tomobile and that in turning it out into the street the headlight of the on-coming street car frightened the shieves away. However, the ignition switch had not been turned on. Altilio Bet, who resides next to the garage. was awakened by the crash caused by the collision and rushed to the track fearing that someone had been in- jured No one was within sight. His statement was substantiated by the motorman who was in charge of the street car.

NEW YORK, Jan. s. Specialties again attracted the attention of specu' lative interests in today's fairly active stock market, although operations were suspended for the session at 12:30 o'clock as a mark of respect to the memory of Theodore Roosevelt.
 Trading ran mainly to tobaccos, sugars, feathers, oils and mOtors-in substance, stocks of the so-called peace variety.
 Rails were slow to get under way, but averaged gains of l to IF points toward the close on gains for St. Paul, Great Northern, Norfolk and Western and Texas Pacific. A 37- point jump in Texas Land Trust cer- tificates was the spectacular feature.
 United States Steel yielded part of its 1-point advance and kindred in- dustrials and equipment were sluggish and not materially changed, while coppers eased under further pressure.
 Shippings constituted the only con- spicuous drawback, Marine preferred making an extreme decline of 312 points on persistent rumOrs of more serious obstacles to the completion of the company's plans for the sale of it's British tonnage. Sales amounted to 300,00O shares.
 Call money opened at 5 per cent, but the demand was so urgent as to cause an immediate rise to 6 per cent, at which large sums were reported to have been taken.
 Bonds were steady, but featureless, foremost issues recording little altera- tion. Total sales, par value, aggre- gated SS.250.0O0. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call.

HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB IN
 TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Passages. When VapORub Is Applied Over Throat and Chest the Medicated Vapors Loosen the Phlegm, Open the Air Passages and Stimulate the Mucous Membrane Throw Off the Germs.

that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you, or if you are over 50 or not strong, stay in bed four days or more. according to the severity of the attack
 EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS
 In order to stimulate the lining of the air passages to throw off the grip germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm and keeping the air passages open. thus making the breathing cas- fer. Vick's VapoRub will be found eff fective. Hot, wet towels should be applied over the throat, chest and back letween the shoulder blades to open the pores. Then VapoRub should be rubbed in over the parts until the skin is red, spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothIns loose around the neck as the heat of the body hberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts affect ed At the same time, VapoRub is ab- sOrbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the sur face, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within.
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
 Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact, chiefly through cough ing, sneeZing or splitting. So avoid ing crOwds-cOmmOn drinking cups. roller towels. etc. Keep up your bod fly strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food.
 KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
 Above all. keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the air pas sages and render them much better breeding places for the germs. Use Vicks VapoRub at the very first sign of cold For a head cold. melt lit tie VapORub in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still. use VapoRub in a benzOin steam kettle. If this is not available, use an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill half full of boiling water, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time-keep the kettle just slowly boiling and inhale the steam arising. NOTE: Vick's VapoRub is the discov- cry of a North Carolina druggist, who found how to combine, in salve form, Menthol and CamphOr with such vola- tile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme. Gu ,bebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these ingre- dients are liberated in the form of vapOrs.
 VapoRub is comparatively new in New York state and New England and few western states. where it is just now being introduced, but in other sections of the country it is the stand ard home remedy in more than a mil lion homes for all forms of cold trou- bles. Over six million jars were sold last year. It is particularly recom- mended for children's croup or colds. since it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as de- sired without the slightest harmful effects. NapoIiub can be had in three sizes at all druggists.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-Fresh advances in the corn market took place today owing to explicit denials that imports of corn from Argentina would be authorized. The market closed unset tied, T. to 19sc net higher, with Jan. uary S1.4S to $1.4Sk, and May S1.41A to $141%. Oats finished F off to 1c and provisions varying from BOG de cline to a rise of 7c.
 AS soon as trading began, corn i'm mediately went to the highest yet this season. Advices over night had re- moved all doubt that competition from Argentina would remain under a ban. On the bulge, however, sales to real ize profits were of liberal proportions and there was also a disposition evinced to speculate for a bearish re-
