How Aphis Will Be Fought.

War has been declared on the aphis
that annually destroyed thousands of
dollars worth of crops in eastern
Washington and Oregon. An army Of
adybugs is being recruited by the
United States bureau of entomology
with the assistance of game wardens
throughout the two northwestern
states.
The ladybug is the natural enemy of
the aphis When liberated in colony
of aphis the ladybug's actions are any
thing but ladylike. One ladybug Is
said to he more than a match for 100
nble-bodied aphis. The army of lady
bugs is now in winter quarters In the
mountains at an altitude of about g.
900 feet. The game wardens will be
required to round them up and have
them ready for the spring drive.

Why Windows Should Be Open.

Sabourin mentions the great HOSTILE
ty of the public to the open-window
treatment. Apparently it is necessary
to compromise with the patients rela-
tives on this score. There is, of course.
no objection to airing the room while
1t is empty. The windows should be
closed when the patient returns, to al
low him to undress, and the bed should
be AS far as possible from the open
window, with its foot turned toward
the latter. The window should be wide
open after the patient is abed. How
ever, it Is advisable to establish toler-
ance by raising the window but short
distance the first night and increasing
1t gradually. There are various de-
vices to use in cold weather to keep
the wind from blowing on the patient,
chief of which is a screen to be placed
at the foot of the bed.-Journal de

In French and In Enulish,

An amusing verbal war has arisen
over the propriety. meaning and ex-
tent of the French phrase mon Dieu !"
No two interpreters appear to be able
to agree. The phrase in English would
be my Cod" but the shades of asso-
citation connected with the French
form and with the English form differ
so broadly that exactly equivalent ex-
pressions and usages of the phrase are
difficult to reach. In French 1t may
be an innocent exclamation. but in
English,speaking lands it may be fiat
blasphemy. The variance seems to
spring from the varying religious ex-
periences of France and England
after the Protestant reformation. In
medieval Europe the presence and ac-
ton of God in the religious plays hab-
ituated the populace to speak of him
quite familiarly and the sense OF rev.
erence for his name grew faint. In
England, however on account of the
influence of Puritanism and then of
Methodism, a great reverence for his
name arose, and use of the term my
God!" became distasteful to fine nn-
lures. But "mon Dieul" somehow
sounds ofrensive.-Spokane Spokes-
man Review.

A kniqht a Niqht,

Blessed with sense of humor, Sir
Henry Irving was not shut up in his
dignity as in tower; he thoroughly
appreciated palpable hit. even at
his own expense.
During the rehearsals of king Ar
thur" for which Sir Arthur Sullivan
composed incidental music. and Sir
Edward Burne-Jones designed special
costumes, he chanced to overhear the
brief monologue that follows;
Sir Emery Irwin, Sir Arthur Sulli-
van, Sir Edward Burne-Jones!" came
in a growl from a dark corner behind
the scenes. Three bloomin' knights
and that's about what give it,"
Irving liked to repeat this outburst,
which the comparative failure of
king Arthur" made peculiarly apo

Why Lemon Is Valuable.

If the testimony of the Siciian cit
rus chamber is given due considera-
tion in determining the status of u
lemon, 1t deserves an important place
in the list of first aids. According to
the authority mentioned the lemon
aids are chiefly medicinal and hygenic.
It's juice is of value in treating dIph-
theria and gout. For ordinary colds
1t is a great specific. 1t Will cure
slight wounds and chilblnins. The
juice OF several lemons taken every
day will help to cure rheumatism and
prove an nntidote for diabetes; small
slices applied to corns will ease ~

Glory Won by American Marines

Famous Prussian Guard Fled Before

From Arbela to Argonne; from the
day when Alexander's phalanx bore
down the Persian lines to the day when
the American marines scattered the
best of Germany like smoke, the i'm
perial guard of mighty sovereigns has
been the keystone, the central fabric,
the very basis of military power. De-

Fierce was the fighting on Arbela's
plain, and vain the onsets of the Mace

way-and night saw the Persian en-
pire in the young invaders hands.
Spain's resistless infantry shook the
earth till the Spanish guard was mown
down by Conde at Rocroy.
At Austerlitz the Russian ranks held
fast till the cars gigantic guards were
cut through and scattered And the
soldiers at Waterloo, outflanked, out
numbered would not yield till the
guard gave back upon the fatal slope
of Mont st. Jean. So went the story
through the ages-and the last chap
ter of imperial guards and guardsmen's
glory is a fitting epilogue.
Down through the ravaged fields of
France came the imperial guard of
Prussia, and the wearied, wornout
men of France gave ground in grim
despair. The guard was coming. The

of any king is sealed. 1t was so three

CYCLIsT UNITS WON PRAISE
How the "PetroI Cavalry" Did Its
Part In the Crushing of the
Detested Hun.

During the recent actions in France
the military cyclist units have won
well-earned praise, London Tit-Bits
says.
When it is remembered that we'll
trained military cyclists can cover 60
miles day on average roads and
come into action fit at the end Of the
ride something of their advantage over
cavalry can be realized. Cycles, un-
like horses, do not tire rapidly. and.
furthermore, require neither food nor
drink.
In rearguard action, when whole
armies are falling back into new posi-
tions, 1t is difficult to send up supplies
to horses, and even the transport Of
Infantry in omnibuses causes conges-
ton of the traffic. Cyclists, on the
other hand. can literally "get through
anywhere"
The men are all skilled riders, and
practiced shots, and, above all, well
trained in map reading and finding
their own way. Carrying the normal
equipment of cartridges on their per-
sen and further supply on each ma
chine, they come into action quickly
and bring their full fire power to bear.
1t is now 30 years since military
cyclists were officially recognized
among the official forces of the crown,
but it was never thought that they
would play such valuable part as
the Petrol Cavalry" has done in this
great struggle.

With the adoption of two addi-

disposed of by the Senate yester-
day. The final phase of the battle
over ratification will be inaugural
ted today, when the resolution en-
bodying the fifteen reservations

1t appears probable that on the

there will be more than cne-third
of the Senate voting in the mega

But if a second vote is obtained by
means of reconsideration or some
other preliminary maneuver, it is
believed that enough of the Demo-

affirmative to effect ratification.
