DAYS LIKE THESE.

In days like these 1 like to go where
the wild birds sing and the daisies
grow. Where the cattails nod and L
can dream, by the side of little bah
bling stream. Yes, sit awhile and for
get my cares, while the wild birds sing
their jazz time airs. OH it's pitch a
tent meath the shade trees tall. where
nothing's heard but the boot owls call.
And there are no lights in the ink
black night but the stars and the moon
and the camp fire bright. On a bed
of sweet pine let me sleep, while the
honey freighted hours do creep. Sleep
till the birth of another day. for a
grown up man has got to play. He's
got to get away from town-best thing
to do. to lose a frown. So here's to the
life that's free from care, just set

Are You a BOlsheyik ?

Bolshevism is based upon
violence, relies upon force,
is deaf to right or reason.
To force the bowels to move
by taking castor oil, pills,
salts, mineral waters, etc,
is to outrage Nature and
"bolshevik" the body. Be-
cause drugs act by produ-
cling irritation.
Castor oil, for instance, is so
obnoxious that the bowels
make frantic effort to get rid
oft. Other medicines, from
SIENNA to salts, provoke ac-
ton by causing the bowels
to try desperately to expeI
them first.
With such remedies there
fore the removal of bowel
waste is secondary and
wholly incidental. Hence,
the result is not to cure con-
stipation, but on the con-
trary, to make it worse,
more obstinate, harder to
overcome.
On the other hand, Nujol is
not drug, does not act like
any drug, acts mechan-
ically, not incidentally; per-
su0des Nature instead of
forcing her.

3. Miss Mary Alexander, who mas been
in France as a Red Cross nurse since
last September, and who landed in
New York yesterday, had been looking
for the 35th division all the time she
was in France, without success. She
did not meet any unit or individual of
that division until she embarked at
sBrest for the States, and there found
that she was coming home on the Mo-
bile with the 130th F. A. of the 35th
division.
Miss Alexander left Topeka May 3,
1918, for Camp Travis, where she re-
manned until August 10. She was then
transferred to New York, where she
received her assignment to Base hos
pital 58, and sailed September IA. She
landed in England September 20. and
went at once to Rinaucouit, France,
which was an advanced sector, being
only twenty miles from Chaumont.
- Later, she was transferred to
Mesves, and went from there to La
baule, where she remained for two
weeks awaiting orders to embark.
Before entering Red Cross work,
Miss Alexander had completed a
course in nursing at Stormont hospital,
and had been registered and doing
private nursing for over a year before
she went to France
1t is said that the Red Cross nurses
will receive their discharge at the
Hotel Albert in New York City, in
which case Miss Alexander will prob
ably be in Topeka in a few days.

Home Output of Peanut Oil
Is Now Only Second to That
Of LinSeed and CottonSeed

The war has brought the peanut
into it's own. Before 1914 peanut oil
was almost unknown as an article OF
domestic manufacture and thousands
of gallons were imported every year
from countries that grew no peanuts,
although the South was producing mill
lions of pounds and capable of in
creaSing that production almost in
definitely But in 1917 the output of
peanut oil had so increased that it
ranked third among all the vegetable
oils made from homegrown products,
being exceeded only by cottonseed oil
end lnseed oil. Peanut oil, it is point
ed out by experts in aliment, serves
practically the same food purposes
as does cOttOnseed OIL and has the
advantage that it can be obtained
by cold pressing like olive oil, and
becomes thereby superior table oil.
1t has the advantage over cottonseed
Oil also in that the cake, after the
Gil is pressed out, forms a palatable
human food very high in protein.
A survey by the federal bureau Of
markets shows the great gain in the
production and use of peanuts, not
only for oil but for peanut butter.

Motor Fuel Adds Ten Miles
an Hour to AirpIane Speed

Development too late for use in the
war of motor fuel which adds ten
miles an hour to the speed of airplanes
and has possibilities for use in auto
mobile racing was announced by the
bureau of mines. The liquid, a combi-
nation of benzol and cyclOheXane,
so while of military value, it is not re-
garded as practical for commercial
purposes at present. Another combl-
nation developed by the bureau, con-
sisting of benZOl and gasoline, has
been found to be more powerful than
gasoline alone and is expected to prove
of value in industry. The comparative
scarcity of benzol, however, makes its
production to supplant gasoline on a
large scale improbable in the imme-
date future.

Simplest Remedies Found
To Be Best DisinfeCtantS
During Severe Epidemics

Years ago MarSeilles was visited by
a great plague. Rich and poor died
in their hundreds, and to rob the for
mer four men invented aromatic vine
gar, which, used as disinfectant, en-
abled them to rifle the dead without
fear of infection. During the great
plague of 1865 those who were deputed
to bury the dead always carried
phial of aromatic vinegar, and his
tory tells us that whenever Cardinal
Wolsey had cause to go among the
poorer members of his flock he inva-
riably held to his nose a golden orange
filled with the same preventative.
Canary wine, too, was used in 1868
as a disinfectant. Doctors carried lit
tie ycassolettes on the top of their
canes, which they shifted when visit
ing the stricken, and in the affected
houses the smoke of juniper was used.

The chocolate can, ten-gallOn al
fair with big brass spigot, was placed
on an empty packing case. Around the
can were discarded condensed milk

this hut was just starting operations.
And every infantryman was supposed
to drink as much chocolate as he de-
sired. Coffee could also he had. a

It was where the allied and German
troops stood opposite each other
month in and month out during the
DAYS of strictly trench warfare, that
villages were completely wiped out
bv intense and terrific bOmbardments.
But when either side was making
rapid advance the destruction OF
property was considerably less. For
instance. in the great German drive of
September, 1914, when the kaiser was
striking at Paris, very little destruc-
ton was caused, except at the places
where the terrible fighting took place
during the first battle of the Marine,
that is, along by Meaux, Sezanne,
Vitry-le- Francois and Revigny. In
other words, the destruction was worst
at the points where the battle was
turned. the scene of the fiercest fight
ing. Along the Somme and the Aisne,
the same conditions prevailed. Here
the destroyed area is from 10 to L
miles across, in many places.
Then there was another kind of de-
struction-the willful kind, wrought
by German troops in some of the big
retreats. All through the war, even to
the final fights of 1918, the Germans
consistently wrecked property rather
than let it revert to the French in a
fair state of preservation.
Willful destruction in France, as a
German policy, started in the spring
of 1917, about the time America came
| into the war.

Preventive Measures Save
Loss of Money and Health

Loss of time, money and health
often can be prevented by the use OF
some simple, inexpensive preventive
measure, says Thrift magazine. At
all times, especially during these days
of influenza, you should never allow
yourself to remain in rundown phys
fcal condition. If attacked by dis
ease while your resistance is low you
NAV pay for it with a long illness
or possibly with life itself. Most peo-
pie think a doctors only use is to be
sent for in case of emergency, like a
fireman, and be brought running with
his pillbox in hand just in the nick
of time.
