Old Publications.

An odd bit Of the past turns up IN
a list of old publications soon to De
sold at auction, namely, to give II lts
full. imposing title. "A Sermon
Preached at Whlte-Chapel, In the Pres

full. the Adventures and Planters for
Virginia" and published for the Ben
eft and Use of the Colony, Planted
and TO bee Planted there and for the
Advancement of their Christian Pur-

preached that sermon, notes the Chris
tian Science Monitor, and described
Virginia as a land with the fruitful
ness whereof England, our mlstresse,
cannot compare, no, not when she Is
In her greatest pride" Yet he preached
to rather a sorry congregation, says
history, largely composed of immi-
grants who had failed at home through
bad habits little calculated to help
In new country.

Brinu Gifts to France.

A delegation from Abyssinia bearing
rich gifts of ivory and silks for the
announced purpose of congratulating
France on her recent victory, appeared
at the peace conference in Paris. This
is in strict accordance with the ancient
oriental procedure. The real purpose
of a visit is not disclosed until prelim-
mary ceremonies are concluded. These
native Africans-claiming descent from
Solomon and the queen of Sheba-
wished to be In on the carving up of
the world. for they have interests
which are vital to them although little
known to the rest of the world, Seat
ed in that natural bastion of Africa,
the Abyssinians have lived I'm greater
or less security for unknown centuries.
They are not negroes, but a mixture
of Hamitic and Semitic races, with a
culture of their own and processing the
Christian religion, being a branch of
the Coptic church of Egypt. Until re-
Gently they have been unmolested save
by native tribes.

rs. o. S." CALL FOR DENTIST
Residents Of Alaskan Island Need
Services Of Man Skilled with
Drills and Forceps.

Is any dentist hunting for a loca-
ton? Here's one. 1t is on Afognak,
an Island lying east of the entrance Of
Cooks inlet, on the Alaskan coast.
While the icebergs float around oc-
casionally and bump one another in
the sea like giant monsters in a game
of water polo, yet II Is comparatively
warm up there now. as the summer is
coming on with It's flowers and mos
quitoes. But whether an Arctic win
ter on brief summer Is on, people
will have the toothache up there near
the Arctic circle the same as do the
sweltering residents these days along
the thirty-sixth parallel of latitude.
Miss Virginia Clark, an accom-
plished young woman who was born
and reared on the island of AfOgnak,
and Is now teaching the youth of her
native land and village, sends out this
cry for a dentist. The information is
reau of Publicity:
"A dentist located here would have
a snap" is the only information given
out by Miss Clark. She gives no clew
as to the financial standing of the
patients, but the lucky dentist could
no doubt fight off the FL. G. L. night
mare by doing piece of dental work
for an Eskimo and taking his pay In
walrus meat. Miss Clark does say
that potatoes and garden truck thrive
there. the fishing Is good, and there
are plenty of clans and wild ducks.
Copper also is found in paying guam
titles, and placer gold mining is being
successfully carried on along the
beaches.

ALIENISTS CAN BE WRONG
Ample Proof That Even Most Able
of Psychologists Are by No
Means InfaIIibIe.

You will not find the word moron"
as used by psychologists and alienists,
in many dictionaries, for 1t is a word
coined only very recently to describe
certain type of person who is men
tally defective although not insane.
Col. T. Easily Smith of the selective
service board. Washington, made lit
tie speech at the Atlantic City meet
ing of the American Medical associa-
ton in which he rather "guyed" his
professional associates on the way
they judged man to be moron or
sub-nofmal In intelligence.
After relating how the board OF
psychology had set a certain soldier
down as having the mind OF a FIVE
year-old child. he drew hearty. laugh
at the expense of his colleagues by
adding that this same board had ana
lived the intellect of certain mem
Der of President Wilson's. cabinet and
had pronounced 1t to be on the level
of a twelve-year-old. and had in the
same way set down an eminent gen.
eral In command of one of our armies
abroad as a ten-year-old In intelli-
gence.

Battle of the Giants.

According to Brewers Historic
Note Book" neither the battle of Wa
terloo nor the battle OF Austerlitz was
known as the Battle of the Giants"
but the battle of Marignano was SO
designated. This battle was fought
on September -, 1915, and during
which the allied French and Venetian
armies under Francois ! and dAlViano
defeated the allied Italian and Swiss
armies The carnage was very great,
as 1900 of the conquered and 1900
of the victors were left dead and dy-
ing on the field Trivulzio, who had
been present in 1S pitched battles,
called them all child's play compared
with this combat Of the giants"

Keeps of Potato Bugs.

And now comes prophet, who
arises In Missouri. and has published
in "a number of papers the following
news for the especial benefit of those
who detest to chase the elusive potato
bug: IF soup bean or two Is
dropped into each hill of potatoes
when they are planted the potato bug
will not bother them, and besides your
crop of potatoes you will get one Of
beans as well. There is one farmer
who has tried this experiment for FIVE
years and has never been bothered
with bugs while his neighbors lost
their crops. The bugs don't like the
smell of the beans for some reason"

Question for Debate.

Judging by union standards, the
good lady in Proverbs, belauded as
she has been for centuries, set n
most questionable example. Her
price might be above rubies, but
what business had she to rise up
early in the morning. before 1t was
yet light" and continue all day her
industrial pace-settingf 1t couldn't
have been good for her husband either,
for all we hear Of his activity is that
he praised her" and that he "sat In
the gates"-which latter take to be
the Biblical equivalent Of sitting on
the porch Of country store with his
feet on the rail. taking all her labor
for granted.-Exchange.

chIcaao's Oldest Saloon.

When the dry law went into effect
and Chicago's 5000 saloons went out
of business, It ended the career of
Chicago's oldest saloon which was es-
tablished In 1887, the same year Chi.
cago was incorporated as city. Since
that time the business has passed
through the hands of family of four
generations. Indian camps were q
common sight in Chicago in those
days. The city had about 5000 inhab
itants; to-day there are nearly. 5000.
600 persons.

But None Came.

Late the other night on a street car
a soldier was going home for the first
time. He was happy and proud. And
his reason for being proud: there was
wound stripe on his right arm.
One man said TO him: "Where were
you wounded?" The soldier replied !:
81 was hit in the back with a piece
Of she'll" The man gave a short laugh
and said: "A funny place to get hit |;
which way were you golngT'
1t is needless to say that the soldier
hit the man and here Is what the sol
der said: IF there are any more Of
you fellows thinks that a Yank ever
ran, | can change your mind for you"

ADVISES PUTTING. HOUSE WORK ON. BUSINESS BASES Mrs. Hilton Gives Excellent Advice to Women of
 This City. MAKES ADDRESS
 AT FOOD HUT Conditions Here GOod-Chance tO Start Fine Organi-
 ZatiOn.

Urging the women to put their hOuseWork on a business basis, to ere ate an intelligent demand for food, clothing and other household necessi- ties, and to investigate into the pro-
 cess of making food. Mrs. Howard k Hilton. president of the Providence Housewives League, told in detail about the work done by the women of her city in their campaigns and how their persistency and untiring efforts 1 brought about wonderful results Mrs. Hilton addressed number of women at the Food Hut. of the City Home EcoH9mics bureau. On State street, lyes~2rday afternoon, and her talk was most interesting.
 There are certain advertised prod
 ucts, which attract the consumers at tenuon, that may not be as good as
 the products that are not advertised, or just as good. In the majority of
 cases, the women will buy the article
 that has been advertised, paying more
 for it. The Hcu 'ewives' league, which stands for the protection of the home In the buying Of wholesome food products for less money, has commit
 tees of the organization go into the
 factories, stores, ice cream parlors, and investigate as to the purity and
 quality of such foods
 During the milk campaigns in Providence, the women of the league established milk stations, that were supported by donations, and the milk was dispensed every morning to fam lilies where there were a number of children. The mothers were taught the food value of milk and nurses were sent into the homes to teach the women how to prepare the milk for the children When the mothers found out the results of pure milk, they decided not to buy any other milk under any circumstances She spoke of the filthy conditions that had once existed in the bakery shops, slaughter houses. and food factories, Mrs. Hilton noted that the 1 physical condition of many men in
 America revealed during the war. 1 shows that the food we have been eating did not have the proper food value. 4 housewives league is one i of the best aids in starting recon struction in this branch of work 1 In Providence the committee ar ! ranged classes in the homes of the l foreign women and taught them how i to cook and what foods to use The 1 Providence league six years ago l started with six members and now 1 has 1,5O0. Any problem that comes
 up in the community is reported to the league and a committee is sent out tc make investigations
 Mrs. HilOn said that conditions in l this city are very good and that the women here have a better chance to 1 start a successful organization of this 1 kind. She urged the cooperation of 1 the retailer and the consumer that | they may understand each other bet l ter.

WORRIED OVER HAT
Legislators Must Solve Problem
 of Etiquette.
Rules Governing Procedure of British House of Conmcns Will Have to Be Radically Revised to
 Fit New Times.

Members of the British house of commons stand self-accused, and wom- "n are beginning to understand why there was so much opposition on the question of their being allowed to sit in parliament.
 The house of commons Is not a fit and proper place for respectable wom- en to sit ill.," said Sir Hedworth Meux, making speech in T, gard to the pro- posal. T oppose this resolution" he continued, mot Lecause l do not love the female sex, but because l adore women. But Is 1t 8 proper thing fer women to be sitting here. until Il o'clock at nig.t? When we sit until 2 and in the morning the historic cry of Who goes home?' will become Who will take me home?"
 In the future the big strangers gal lery will be open to women as well as men, but the ladies' gallery will still continue to be restricted to the exciu- sive use of women, so that whatever of privileged sex position still remains in parliament will be to the advantage of the gentle sex. Thus are the tables turned.
 Many amusing queries are being put to perplexed politicians. The concen- trated wisdom of a thousand years has made rules, and the rules have been for men only.
 One thing that becomes a problem is the etiquette Of the hat. A rule in this connection is that if a member wishes to address the house he must remain uncovered" Male members now have visions of the new woman member standing up and removing her latest Paris creation. Of necessity she must have a mirror to arrange her dlsheveled locks.
 Another point of etiquette decrees that when rising to speak in debate the member must be covered" Will she in her hurry grab the hat off the head of the nearest victim so as to be In order?
 The hat problem becomes more and more complicated as matters proceed When a member is referred to in a speech by another member-especially in the case of a compliment from a minister (and the male members gloom fly foresee that women will get the lions share of these)-he acknowl- edges it by raising his hat. By the time the female member has finished wrestling with half a dozen hatpins the minister will be through with his compliment and on to the next subject for debate.
 These, and other similar problems, are Vexing political etiquette. What is going to happen to parliament if all the formalities and rules are to be swept away ill a tempestuous whirl of petticoats? The honorable male mem bers don't knOW-but the women de clare Che time thus saved will be spent in making cOmmon-sense laws for the good of mankind.

RECIPE TO CLEAR
 A PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples are Impurities Seek ing an Outlet Through
 Skin Pores.

Pimples, sores and bOils usually re- suit from toxins. poisons and 1mpuri- ties which are generated in the bow els and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain the body.
 t is the function of the kidneys to filter impurities from the blood and cast them out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels cre- ate more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples.
 The surest way [, clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted author ity, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of lad Salts and take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot water each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the forma- tion of toxins in the bowels. It also stimulates the kidneys to normal ac- tivity, thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples.
 lad Salts is inexpensive, harmless Rnl is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent fer the kidneys as Well.- Adv.

ouinoa Substitute for Wheat.

There has long been cultivated on the west coast of South America a plant called "quinoa," which botanists and ceral experts believe may prove an excellent substitute for wheat, in fact preferable to the substitutes now in use, says the November Popular Me chanics Magazine. This plant, now at tracting particular attention because of the shortage of foodstuffs, has been cultivated in South America In more or less primitive fashion, since pre- Inca days. The department of agricul- ture has imported several lots of quinoa seed and seed of related spe- cieS, and is making experiments with it in the hope of finding suitable soil and climate in this country for it's cul- tiyation.

Gone West,

The phrase gone west" used so much during tie war. is not a new one in the language of the Maori, though he does not say it quite in that way. The Maori religion provides no such place as hell. A person gets his or her deserts in this life and after ward goes by "the broad path of Tane," 1. e., the track of the setting sun, to a huge meeting place where are gathered the souls of all the de- parted. There they will wait till mem- bers of all the tribes and hapus and families who are still on earth have joined them, when all will move on to whichever heaven they are bidden to go. There are 12 heavens in the Ma Ori's mythology. And the course which leads to any of them is the west.
