Pershing Had No Promotion
For Seven Years After His
Graduation From West Point

For seven years after his gradual
ton from West Point Pershing re-
ceived no promotion.
Nevertheless, with customary gr,.,
he applied himself to master his pro,
fesslon. He became an authority on
military tactics, and was sent to West
Point as an instructor. He was there
when the Spanish-American war broke
out and Immediately applied for a
command. The war department. sent
him to the Tenth cavalry, a negro
troop, as a first lieutenant, and then
his rise began. His troop went to
Cuba. He led 1t at the battle Of FL
Caney, and came out of that engage
ment a captain "for gallantry I'm ac-
tion." Then he went to the Philip
pines.
In 1906, in recognition of his abil-
ity, President Roosevelt made him a
brigadier general and jumped him
over the heads Of S62 men. The boy
who had won his way to West Point
by one point, the young man who had
been given no promotion for seven
y~ears-think Of that, you fellows who
grumble that nobody takes notice of
how hard you work-had at last come
into his Own.-Boys' Life.

Peat Is Used in Place of
Cotton Surgical Dressing

Peat is so antiseptic and absorbent
that 1t Is used as a dressing for
wounds, and is an excellent substitute
for medicated cotton. This fact was
recognized many years ago in Europe,
where sphagnum peat is now extern
sively used in preparing surgical
dressings. According to q scientist
who has made a detailed study Of peat
deposits in the northern United States,
there are many square miles Of sphag-
mum bog in the northern counties Of
Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan
that would supply material suitable
for antiseptic applications. 1t will not
be necessary to incur the expense Of
deep excavation, for immense quanti-
ties Of sphagnum can be taken from
the upper parts of the deposits. Sphag-
num peat is also abundant In Maine,
and some is found in New York and
Pennsylvania.

Alaska College viii Train
Its Graduates to Develop
Agriculture and Mining

The new Alaska Agricultural college
and School Of Mines under construc-
tion at Fairbanks, Alaska, about 100
miles from the arctic circle, will train
Its graduates to help develop Alaska
along It's two main lines-agriculture
and mining. Authorities assert this
northern soil holds big things in both
food and metals.
Both United States government and
Alaska territorial funds are being used
by the college. Congress, in 1915, des-
ignated a site for the school and set
aside agricultural and mining lands In
the Tanama valley for the support Of
the institution. Legislature voted S6O.-
900 for the construction and purchase
OF equipment. An annual congression-
al appropriation Of $4,000 is expected
to help maintain the school.
The Fairbanks United States gov.
eminent agricultural station, now To-
Gated on the college site, will become
part of the new institution and will
continue to draw it's revenue or sup
port from the federal government.
The site is high on a hill overlook
ing the city Of Fairbanks, the TaDana
river and the railroad the United
States government is building between
seward and Fairbanks.

! 100000 Habitual Users of
Narcotics in Country Despite
Harrison AntinarCotic Law

No report Of recent years will sur
prise the casual reader so much as
that made to the United States con-
gress by a special committee investi-
eating the use of narcotics, observes
q writer In the Houston Post.
According to that report there are
no fewer than 100000 habitual users
Of narcotics In this country-and this
In spite Of the Harrison antinarcotic
law In force for several years.
The investigators say that 100000
people are known as users Of drugs
and that 100000 are secretly addicted
to the habit.
They say that within the former
draft ages Of twenty-one to thirty-one
are found 100000 known users of the
drug in the state of New York among
the men alone.
They say that thousands formed the
habit after they were drafted In or
der to insure their rejection from
the army.
They say that in spite Of all pres
emit laws the use Of morphine, CO.
caine, heroin and similar medicines
and drugs Is increasing more rapid
ly than ever before In the history of
this country.
They say that 1t is necessary imme-
diately to pass more stringent laws
for the protection of people from the
"dope" vender.

Hieroglyphics to Be Found
in California Are Believed
Older Than Those in Egypt

Amateur Psychologists Of Bishop,
Cal, are endeavoring to interest profess
sional scientists Of the East In the
epigraphs which abound on the rocks
of Round valley. not far from that
city. and which are believed to be as
old, IL not older, than the hieroglyphics
of earlier Egypt, to which they bear a
strange resemblance.
1t Is believed by many that the
strange markings constituted the
names by which ancient tribes marked
the sources Of water supply for the
benefit Of those Of their number who
lived rowing lives.
These hleroglyphics have never been
deciphered, although they are matters
Of record In the leading museums Of
the country, it is said. The Indian
tribes nov living in their vicinity de-
clare they are the work of the In
dams Of North America and that they
antedate all aboriginal lore.
Some who have examined the
strange markings in the flinty powders
say the hieroglyphics closely resemble
those Of earliest Egypt and may re-
place the latter as the first written
language of humanity.
They are found always In the vi
cinity Of water supplies.

Sodium FIuorid Found to Be
Most Effective Substance to
Kill the B0thers0me Reaches

Government entOmologists, by study
Of the habits Of reaches, have found
that these insects frequently cleanse
their legs and antennae when any dirt
or powder comes in contact with these
appendages. These are at once drawn
through the mouth parts OF the insects
and In this way cleaned. AS a result,
a certain amount Of any powdered
substance applied directly to a roach
or through which 1t may crawl is taken
into the mouth and presently, wheth-
er distasteful or not, finds its way
into the stomach. Therefore it is not
necessary to mix q stomach poison in
powdered form with an attractive bait,
since the chances are much greater
that the poison will reach the stomach
through its habit of cleansing itself
than through the eating of poison
bait.
Sodium f1uorid, according to the
United States department Of agricul-
ture, was found to be the most rapid
killer OF reaches Of all the substances
tested. Pyrethrum powder, pure,
killed practically all reaches within
4S hours. but it's effectiveness was
greatly reduced when slightly diluted.
Borax was found to be very slow and
was only partially effective in kitch-
en- tests. T~hirty-eight miscellaneous
materials were found to be ineffective.

Bringing Back" Victims Of Shell Shock
Strenuous Training Adopted at Fort Sheridan Hospital to Return
Sanity Of Men Afflicted on Batle6elds

The medical department of the army is entering into n of the biggest
reconstruction problems that ever has confronted it. II is the problem of
retaining "shel shockers" by means If physical training and development
The practice is being tried out Mt the new Fort Sheridan reconstruction hos
pual. 1t is under the direction of Lieut.. Col Theodore S. Proxmire, head of
the hospital. Mai George w. Woodnick is the athletic director Of the
Cses Capt +. A. Walters is in charge Of the shelEshOck ward.
Already 40 cases have been received from France. All OF these mn
were in some stage of temporary insanity q IS a result o shock. The theory
on which the work is being done Is that physical development first Inc mental
development later will bring about recovery.
The first exercise the mn are put through is rope skipping. Then comes
boxing and the like. Every day the amount o. work is increased until finally
the Ia will be getting the same amount of work IS u boxer in training for
"A big match.
In some cases recovery is effected in as short a time as ten days This
has been the fact in a number of cases at the ew base. The men are then
sent home on a furlough to retu up.
OF the 40 cases in the hospital only q small percentage are violent. But
even these work out under guard. Some will only work to music. Some
PREFER agtme, while others show a liking for the classics.
Meanwhile work is going forward at a rapid rate on the ley buildings of
the hospital which will be equipped to care for 1900 men The final capacity
is to be 5000. Bundings-temporary wooden structures-are being built all
over the historic parade grounds.

Democracy

Great mother OF a newborn race,
All earth shall be our dwelling place:
Democracy, thy holy name
Shall set the continents aflame,
Shall thrill the stands Of the sea,
And keep thy children ever free.
From Gods eternal universe
Shalt thou remove the primal curse
Which man upon his fellow-man
Imposed since first the world began;
Away with slaves, deprived OF rights,
And lily-flngered parasites!
For thus the new-world purpose we
Can, step by step, unfolded see;
Columbus sailed, at Gods behest,
From lands by wicked kings oppressed-c
His messenger, to search the earth
And find the place for Freedoms birth.
Then rose up peerless Washington,
With many another a dauntless son.
Whose spirit, caught beyond the blue,
~Encompassed France, and Europe, too,
Until the purpose of the Lord
Was plainly written with the sword.
Of II all-Democracy!
The final word OF Gods decree,
To carry out his cherished plan
or peace on earth, good will to man.
Therefore, arise, ye people, sing
This h~eaven-bocn and glorious thing!
William Mill Butler.

WORLDS LARGEST
GIFT
Enormous Sum Raised in United
War Work Campaign

Total subscriptions to the United
War Work campaign were $203, 49,
038, or $32,679,03S in excess of the
amount originally asked by the seven
"a relief organizations, for their
work during rehabilitation of the ar

announcement by the national cam
paign committee. This is the largest
sum ever raised as an outright gift in
the history Of the world.
Fourteen states pledged Is per cent
in excess Of their quotas, Arizona
heading the list with 248 per cent.
A feature Of the campaign was the
manner in which men of the army and
navy themselves, and the inhabitants
of foreign countries contributed to the
fund. The army and navy gave $685.

Salt Lake Is rs Miles Long,
80 to SO Miles Wide, and Has
An Average Depth of 20 Feet

Perhaps no salt ponds anywhere in
the world possess SO many natural adj
vantages as The Great Salt Lake, says
Stanley w. Todd, in Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. Lying as 1t does in
n Of the great valleys Of the Rock
les, on the eastern edge of the great
basin, the lake extends north and
south for rs miles, while it's width va.
rles from 30 to so miles. 1t has an
average depth Of 20 feet and is 4,21S
feet above the sea level. There is lit
tie rainfall throughout the year, and
the ever-present sun, together with the
flat shores, contribute to the ideal con-
ditions Of summer operation.
The lake has no outlet and the water
is as nearly saturated with salt as 1t
can be without crystallizing. Great
strides have been made In recent years
in the methods Of making h~igh-grade
salt, both by the grainer and vacuum
pan processes. Solar evaporation and
gralner methods are used at Salt Lake,
the mill being located at a place call.
ed Saltair. During the season when
the harvesting Is under way, the water
is pumped from the lake at the rate
Of from 10000 to 1900 barrels a day,
the pumping being carried on from ten
to ii hours.

Conservation of Fuel May
Be Made BY Using Furnace
Fire to Cook Some Dishes

An easy way to conserve fuel in
cooking is by utilizing the furnace
fire. Dishes that can be cooked In q
casserole are becoming more and more
popular and the furnace offers an
economical way Of preparing them.
Every furnace has, just within the
coaling door, a wide ledge capable Of
holding q good-siZed vessel. This
ledge is an excellent place for cook
ing dishes which require slow baking
or q sort of stewing. Beans as pre-
pared in New England are deliciously
cooked on this ledge. For them an
earthen pot is even better than a cas-
serole. 1t should be large enough to
contain an extra amount of water, for
the evaporation is more rapid in so
highly-heated a place than in q stove
or range oven.
A bean-pot, an earthenware vessel
with a handle making 1t look almost
like q mug, is the best kind of uten-
sill as it has something by which 1t
can be moved.
The shape and size Of the bean-pot
leaves space on the ledge for some
other vessel. Puddings and escalloped
dishes can be w~ell-cooked and soup
can be made to simmer If the fire Is
at a low temperature. Casserole cook
cry also adapts itself to furnace prep
aration especially in the unglazed for.
eign casseroles. The glazed articles
may crack in time under such heat as
CLOVIS in q furnace.

Plan on Foot to Reclaim
Dismal Swamp, Picturesque
Haunt of the NaturaIiStS

Dismal swamp, which lies just south
Of Norfolk, Va, partly in that state
and partly in North Carolina, is one Of
the most picturesque w~ildernesses in
the eastern United States. Although
it may be reached from the busy port
of Norfolk within q few hours by O
boat which plies daily up and down q
small canal, the Dismal swamp re-
mains an unspoiled wilderness where
black bears and panthers still roam,
while the smaller creatures Of the wild
exist in abundance.
The thick jungles and bottomless
boys at once offer perfect hiding
places for the wild things and OBJ
stacles to the hunter which are often
impossible. Then, too, the swamp Is
alive with snakes-the deadly copper
head and moccasin being especially
abundant-and this fact alone detracts
considerably from the popularity Of
the place as q pleasure resort.
1t is nevertheless regularly visited
by some hardy hunters, and is the de-
light Of naturalists and scientists of all
kinds, who here find what they most
love-unspoiled primitive nature.
The Dismal swamp has great posi-
bilities of future usefulness. In the
first place, it contains some Of the
deepest and richest deposits Of peat
in the United States, and this fuel Is
undoubtedly to be used in this coun-
try in the ear future. Furthermore,
engineers say that the swamp can be
drained, and that 1t will then become
n Of the richest bits Of farm land in
America. Indeed, n man has al
ready demonstrated this by draining
q few hundred acres Of the swamp and
raising phenomenal crops on 1t.

dampness, and diseases and parasites.
4. Keep standardized, utility stock.
There are five good breeds for the
farm: Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island
Red. Leghorn, WyandOtte and Orplng-
ton. Varieties Of these have been bred
for heavy egg production. There are
other good breeds for those who pre-
fer them.
8. Breed from the best, both male
end female. There r many signs of
Sigor and high production.
6. Sell Improbable stock.
z. Market graded products. Maxi
mum returns are secured from graded
products. Markets demand q constant
supply, and this calls for community
cooperation.
These seven steps will lead to sue
