Cinnamon Oil for Influenza.

Oil of cinnamon has very favor
able effect on the temperature and
shOrtens the convalescence period
Patients who usually suffer from mark
ed weakness for several days after
an attack of influenza regain their
strength very rapidly when treated
with cinnamon oil, and are able to
take up their occupations on the sec
end or third day. Twelve drops of
Oil are given in half a tumberful of
: water, and the dose Is repeated in one
hour, then ten drops are given regu-
larly every two hours until the tenn
perature has dropped to normal. When
the fever has gone ten drops should
be given three times a day during the
following "a or AZ hours. When in
fluenza is thus treated from the very
outset-that is, within the first three
or four hours-the temperature be-
dames normal within ~ hours; if the
treatment is begun late it may require
"a or SO hours to obtain this result.

Real nskv pilo+ ~

A preacher literally comes down out
Of the heavens to preach the Gospel
to American aviators in England.
He is Rev. Reginald Crew, American
Y. M. G. A. pastor-aviator, who flies
from one aviation camp to another,
holding religious services for the
''boys" He has no long-distance rec
ord, but he has flown as far as thirty
miles between camps for a prayer
meeting.
Arriving at camp, he frequently
gives his Yank birdmen congregation,
thousands of feet below, a preliminary
exhibition in the "corkscrew,'' loop
the-loop," "apple-turnover" and other
fancy stunts. That insures their at
tention.
Then he volplanes to earth, climbs
out of his chariot, removes his foot
ball headgear and starts Church" The
boys call him the SKY pilot" He is a
great favorite and they eagerly flock
to Exchange.

1t was actually Scotsman, and no
less a man than the lord advocate Of
the time, who publicly declared so
years ago that 'the bagpipe is an Eng
lish instrument, essentially English /;
the English were the original bag
pipers." He pointed out that, while
Shakespeare often speaks of bagpipes,
he never does so in Macbeth" and
that 1t is In Lincolnshire and York
shire that he localizes the pipes.
To Chaucer and Spenser also they
are English. James " and other
Scottish kings paid for "Inglis pypar-
is" at their court, while Edward /. Ed
ward III, Henry " and Henry VIII
seem to have had native pipers. The
Highlanders never used the pipes in
war before the fifteenth century; the
harp was Scotland's instrument.

Mirandy stirred. 81 heard the doc

Tears unchecked traced grimy

Mirandy went on "Folksll think If
you married me now youll be wantin'
to inherit my money"
"Oh, Mandy" Seth choked, what
do we care bout folks round here? /
! want to tend you like a husband
while y're here"
Mirandy turned over at the unusual
sentimentality of Seth's speech "All
right. Seth, then we'll get married."
she answered with a smile.
And Mirandy seemed to improve at
once. Perhaps 1t was Seth's husband
ly care, or perhaps it was just some
thing else, but Mirandy got well with
surprising rapidity.
1t was after the wedding. Miriam

Seth looked up. and took the clay

twenty years he had learned every
thing in Mirandy's life.

smiled. ''the doc helped to make y see

WHILE GEORGE" LOOKED ON
Party of Tourists Helped Pretty
American Woman to Kiss the
Real BIarney Stone.

Three or four of US made up little

Capt. Albert R. Wonham in Spun
Yarns of a Naval officer" The say
ing that all roads lead to Rome applies
somewhat to Barney, too, but the
Irish miles-I cannot think how they
reconcile them with the miles record
ed by the taxicab indicators
However, we got there, and, bound
ing up the stone stairs, reached the
top of the tower Two persons We're
already there, an old man and one OF
the loveliest women l ever saw. We
were rather pressed for time. and so
proceeded to kiss the stone.
The Blarney stone faces the outside
of the tower, about three feet down.
If you wish really to kiss it you must
be let down headfirst, do the trick and
be hauled up. All round the top of
the tower is hanging parapet project
ing about a foot from the line of the
tower WALL built to enable the defend
ers, when the castle was attacked, to
pour boiling water or melted lead on
top of the enemy operating on the
front door.
Having let one another down, we
finished under the wondering gaze OF
the lovely woman. Excuse me, gen.
tlemen," she said, "but what have you
been doing?"
We told her.
With disdainful look she turned to
the old fellow and said, There,
George, / told you that" pointing
to a meek-looking stone inside, was
not the Barney stone, and l have not
kissed the Barney stone! l have not
come all the way from America to go
away without doing It'll" AS she said
that she looked appealingly at us, for
George did not seem inclined to rise
to the occasion.
The end of it was that we dashed
her dress round her ankles, lowered
her. and pulled her up triumphant.
"There, George. now can go back
to America and say that | have kissed
the Barney stonel" she cried
l am bound to say that George, who
proved to be her husband, did not look
happy or pleased. His reputation for
telling the truth had suffered and l
am pretty sure that he wished we
never had come.

part of the moon is lighted only by the
faint light reflected by the earth, and
the color of this light would be the
color with which the earth shines to
the other heavenly bodies. This color
proved to be blue, which was to be ex-

1t, is blue, and 1t is the earth's atmos-

An Allied Uniform,

In a vaudeville theater at one of the
French ports there was a comedian
who had an act which he called lie
Nouvel Uniforme." He wore French
steel helmet topped with the cock
feathers of the Italians. His coat and
breeches were of khaki. About his
waist was slung a Scotch sporran. He
wore golf stockings. The top of one
was the pattern of the French flag and
the other of the American flag. And
he sang song about the beach at
Waikiki--a Frenchman's interpreta-
ton of an American idea of Hawaiian
harmony! Certainly nothing could
have been more allied.-Roy s. Dur
slime, in Scrlbner's Magazine

Bomb Droppino Balloons

The first housekeeping balloons
were humble enough and equally fu-
tile. Balloons had been used in war
as early as the siege of Maubeuge by
the Austrians for observation purposes.
The first talk of bomb dropping was
in 1872, when the Russians were said
to have a huge balloon for that pur-
pose, but nothing was done with it.
In 1S47, however, the Austrians,
when attacking Venice, sent up paper
fire balloons, which were to drop shells
into the town. But they forgot to al
low for contrary air currents. The
ballons got into one, drifted back to-
ward the Austrians and bombed them
instead Of Venice.

How to Test coIors.

If the color is solid or with little
white plait a sample of it with strip
of white material Make strong soap
solution. Have it warm bur not hot.
Rub and squeeze the goods In this for
ten minutes. Rinse in cold water, let
it dry. If the color holds fast, the
water not colored and the strip Of
white not stained one may be pretty
sure of the color. To test for light,
expose a piece of material, in both
wet and dry condition, to strong sun
light for a week. If the goods do not
show signs of fading it is reasonably
sure they will not do So If you want
various colors for cotton rug at
small expense use Easter egg dyes.

A German Deal

Robert W. Boynge, president of the
Z New York Republican club, said the
other day:
TITS good thing to write a square
deal for little nations into the peace
terms. Little nations in the past have
certainly got the small end of 1t.
They've been treated, especially by
Germany, as Jobbins was treated by
Battling Bill.
Battling Bill borrowed Jobbins'
best black trousers from him, and then,
on one excuse or another, wouldn't
give them back. A month passed, and
Jobbins sent an urgent messenger to
Bill
"'He, must have them trousers back
today, Battling, said the messenger.
He's going to a funeral
"They amt fit to wear to a fu-

Grain And Provisions
Again Forced Down

Chicago, Aug. decentralization
seized the grain. and provisions trade
this afternoon and forced down corn
S'1-2 cents a bushel in some and
pork $3.50 a barrel Extreme breaks
were to, $3.50 for May delivery Of corn
and ,$44.50 for September delivery of
pork.
The reason for the collapse Of values
was the possibility that the price of
wheat to consumers might be slashed
at once by the government as a radi-
cal measure against high cost Of
living. In the excitement attending
the developments in the corn market
prices fell 1-2 cent between trades.
The descent did not cease until corn
had reached a level 80 cents a bushel
below the high point Of the market a
week ago. ~
