PROTECT THE UNIFORM.
AL, 1tinn Ior1i

Since the rehabilitation began. in
cidents which reflected to the discred-
il OF the uniform have been widely re-
ported. The cases have been Isolated
but their effect is widespread.
Only the other day scores OF men,
women and children in this city were
shocked to observe several discharged
soldiers in uniform in a distressing
state Of intoxication on public street.
These men are no longer soldiers, but
as long as they wear the uniform they
are looked to as such.
Every man in khaki should feel the

Retailers say there are hundreds and
hundreds Of misses. and quite a few

WAS ALWAYS POPULAR GAME
Those Who Think There ls Anything
New In ProdtssrIne Have An
other Guess Coming.

The high cost Of living was just as
much problem in Elizabethan times
us 1t is today. The Rev. William Har-
rison. as quaint gossip as Pepys, and
equally gifted as chronicler, CON-
planned that magistrates in his day
, winked at merchants who charged
more for commodities than they were
permitted by law to charge. In that
day. as in this, "bodgers"-this delight.
fully descriptive word Is Of the domi-
MES own coinlng-were allowed ITO
burn up corn and raise the price Of 1t /;
to carry 1t home unsold. or to a dis.
tant market, II they want more money
than the buyer likes to pay; nay.
they've leave to export 1t for the ben
eft Of enemies abroad, SO as to make
more profit.
During the world war there was
much talk Of certain Americans who
deliberately destroyed carloads Of po.
tatoes, cabbages and other vegetables
and foodstuffs In order to raise the
prices Of these commodities. Same old
story. There's nothing new, remarks
]. n. H., in Rochester Post-Express.
: Again, TO bark back to good Canon
Harrison, 'pesteriferous purveyors buy
up eggs, chickens, bacon, etc; butter
men travel about and buy up butter ut
farmers houses, and have raised Its
price from lsd to 40d gallon. These
things are III for the buyer and the
poor man. and should not be allowed"
After all about the only thing that
is true is that there Is no new thing
under the sun. Like the poor. the
f! profiteer is always with us.

SICK FOLKS HUSTLE
FOR THE RED CROSS

Through the National tuberculosis
Association and the Journal of the Out
door Life, it's official magazine, a cam
patgn is being organized to get tuber-
culosis patients of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser" as a
member Of The Red Cross during the
coming Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
Special campaigns have been organ
ized in all Of the large sanatoria, of
which there are nearly GOO scattered
throughout The United States. Efforts
will be made to enroll one hundred
per cent. in each institution and also
to go after all patients and enroll
them as wen. Every patient in the
sunatorium will be responsible TO get
one more patient The movement will
be contribution of the tuberculosis
patients of the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National tuberculosis AS
ISOLATION and it's affiliated agencies are
being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
ghe year 1919, this effort Of the tuber-
culosis patients is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

DUE TO SOLUTION IN WATER
How Iron implements, Long Aban.
doned in Cuban Mine, Were
Turned Into Copper.

Not so very long ago curious ind
was made in one of the copper mines
at lei Cobre, Cuba. These mines, once
among the richest in the world We're
abandoned for a long time on account
OF the instructions in Cuba against
the Spanish rule. In 1868 the coal
supply was cut off by the insurgents
and consequently pumping the mines
became impossible and they were soon
filled with water,
After the Spanish war an American
company bought the mines and PRO.
ceeded to pump out the water. In one
of the shafts thus made accessible
was found what once represented an
iron pickax, as well as some croWbars.
The metal in these implements had,
it is said, turned to copper. Extraor-
binary as this may appear, it can be
scientifically explained.
The water, filtering through the
rock and the copper ore veins, dis
solved some of the copper, the solu-
tion containing sulphate Of copper. AS
soon as the sulphuric acid in this so
luton touched the iron it dissolved
that metal and deposited copper in Its
place, for sulphurie acid has q greatel
| affinity for iron than for CONFER. II
the process certain impurities whici
/ had existed in the iron were left be
\ hind undisturbed.
The wooden handle Of the pick was
in good condition. The metal was
porous and irregular in shape, but the
general outline preserved the form q
1 the pick somewhat enlarged in size.

WIZ
Female Animal IS Superior
to the pgale


There are a lot Of things about ma
ture we may not understand, remarks
George r. Burba in the National Flu,
name Educator. The male has but
himself to support. The female must
support herself and her young. The
mother therefore becomes the supe-
rior animal; she must show greater
discretion in hunting; she must be Of
quicker action; she must show greater
endurance.
And that is exactly what happens
in the animal world-the female is SUI
perior to the male, although she is
generally smaller than the male. Her
muscles are stronger in proportion to
her size. Her sight is keener. Her
movements are quicker. Her scent is
more acute. One notices all of this
in hunting with bird dogs. Trappers
know that the she-wolf is harder to
deceive thar the male wolf 1t has to
be, in order that the mother may be
able to rear her family, for she has
no help from the male.
Nature protects the mother to q
greater extent than she protects the
male, in order to balance up. She dulls
the female bird for a purpose; She
isn't favoring the male by giving hin
his bright colors. If the female were
as brilliant as the male she would be
| an easy prey to hawks and owls as
she broods the eggs.

OUT or MANY RACES
Rcd CROSS Makes one

~ NE of the greatest services which
4 the Red Cross is performing in
this war is the unifcation of the
many races Of which America is COM

which, through its 10000 committees,
is loolijng after The welfare of the SOL

country. America has always been
called the Melting Pot, and truly, but
Tie process has been slow. The war
has accelerated it, The Indians of the

dustral centcrs, the MeXicans of the
Southwest, Armcniaus and Swedes and
NOrWegians and japanese and Iceland
ers-all are now enlisted under one
flag, and were whole heartedly in the
war because it was Americas war and
they are Americans.
That they feel this is patent to those
who have seen and talked with these
men, Witness the Italian, who in the
assembly hall of one of our mObliZa-
ton camps was waiting with a group
Of his fellows to take the oath of al
legiance He stepped forward sudden

DEMANDS OF BRITISH LABOR
Election Manifesto Outlines Important
Matters That the Party viii Urge
on the Nation.

The British Labor party in its cleo
tion manifesto to the voters condemns
any form of economic war and de.
mands as an essential part of the
peace treaty that the international la
Dor charter be Incorporated in the
structure of league of nations. The
party demands the immediate with
drawal of allied forces from Russia,
claims freedom for Ireland and India
as democratic right and urges self
determination for the British subject
peoples.
The manifesto says the Labor party
regards land naturalization as vital
necessity and urges immediate nation
alization of mines, railways, shipping,
ornaments and electric power. 1t de-
mands the immediate erection of l.
100000 good houses by the state and
better pay and conditions for working
men. The party declares its opposi-
ton to tariffs.

Washington officers and men Of
the army who failed to reach the

imposed upon them in this country
will not be denied recognition of their
services in the winning of the war.

General March, Chief of Staff, has
issued an order that hereafter such
men shall be entitled to wear a silver
chevron similar to the gold one au-
thorized for service overseas.
