Turkey Ranches.

Exclusive turkey ranches are found in the unsettled fOOthill regions of California and in parts of Arizona and other western states, where 1000 or more turkeys are raised each season. The establishments are located where the range Is unlimited and the natural food of the turkey, such as grasshop- pers and other insects, green vegeta- bles and the seeds of various weeds and grasses, is abundant. Advantage also is taken on these ranches of the turkeys relish for acOrns, and where these are plentiful but little grain need be used for fattening in the fall. The large fiocks of turkeys are herded during the day by men either on foot or on horseback, and by dogs especially trained for the work.

REMEDY FOR NUMEROUS ILLS
AS You May Remember, an Old Song
 Says "lt's . Very Good Plan b. to Forget It."

When a piece of American slang
 shows vitality and effective use for l four or five years, it is safe to say 1 that fairly universal human quality | lies within 1t, the Rutland (Vt) Her aid observes. Such is the terse and characteristic Americanism, forget ftp
 When annoyed to the point of ex-
 asperation by trivial people-people
 who gnaw the nerves and scarify the l disposition-what a balm and healing
 lies in the magic philosophy forget itI"
 When 1t seems borne in upon us like l e heaven-directed mission to go atilt- ing windmills, what a solid, common | sense ring there is to the inward men, tor which whispers, forget it!" When bored by a stupid editorial, 1 incensed by an intolerant sermon or
 swindled by silly play, how much better to stif1e the seething wrath and
 forget ftp
 When victimized by petty rascal,
 the loss not adequate to the necessary
 energy for redress, forget it" When abused by a drunkard, fool
 or silly child, forget lt!" When betrayed by a friend so deep ly that the heart changes and the
 pleasant faces takes on falsity, flor get it,"
 When Old Man Bile poisons the dis position and life is saffron instead of blue and fair, take a pill and-"for- get it."
 How many wrongs are worth re membering? How many annoyances are worth noticing? How many triv- ialities are worth attention? The pit of oblivion swallows them, once we can take our philosophy in both hands to forget it.'
 And if the reader takes life so ser ieusly that this convenient nullity offends. the remedy lies close at hand -"forget it."

The "Evii Eye"

The evil eye was the power sup posed to be possessed by certain envi- Ous persons to bring woe and mSfor- tune upon the prosperous and happy by means of a malevolent glance It was belief that spread itself pretty well over place even in minds of the highest caliber. It is odd that Bacon, who conceived and explained new system of philosophy, could seriously consider a piece of nonsense like that of the evil eye, yet he emerges a mo- ment from the charmed realm of knowledge to say: Envy, which is called an evil eye, seems to emit some malignant and poisonous spirits that take hold of the spirits of another and Is said likewise to be of greatest force when the cast of the eye Is ob- lique."

USED BY OLD GREEK SURGEON
Instruments Employed Two Thousand Years Ago Much Like Those
 of Modern Day.

American surgeons realize now how much 8 rubbish heap may teach a man. A complete set of surgical in- struments was found recently by men digging in a scrap pile in ColopOn, an ancient Greek city. In spite of the fact that they were used 2,OOO years ago there is not much difference be- tween them and the implements that are pOked into the anatomy of mod ern man. In the set are small knives with handles of decorated bronze, a metal which the Greeks thought was especially healing. There are also several pairs of forceps, one of them used to extract the heads of arrows and lances from wounded warriors. Another instrument is for drilling holes in the bones of the skull, an other for cauterizing the flesh. Be- sides these are vessels for cupping and bleeding, small covered bronze box for delicate instruments, a slab of stone for mixing certain drugs, and pair of scales which still balance perfectly. In addition to these there is the handsome purple glass beaker, probably the drinking cup of the un- known surgeon who made use of all these instruments.

CIeopatra's Needle.

The two obelisks, known as Cleo patra's needles, were set up at the entrance of the Temple of the Sun, in Heliopolis, in Egypt, by Thothmes TX, about 1881 B. c. They were cut from granite brought from the Nile. Two centuries after their erection Rame- ses III had the stones covered with carvings setting forth his own great ness. Twenty-three years before Christ. Augustus moved the mOnu- ments to Alexandria. One obelisk was finally sent to England and placed upon the Thames embankment. Sub- sequently the other obelisk was pre- sented to the United States. The one on the Thames weighs 1S6 tons. The inscription on the stone, over 6S feet high, tells about the conquesus of the Egyptian king.

time folks from their home com munities. Some of them are "blue'' and these are taken to dinner and the theatre or are put in touch with men from their communities, who give them heart-to-heart talks. Others want jobs back home and for these the War Camp Community Service maintains a nationwide em- ployment service which, under pr. w. D. Fisher, seeks jobs in New England and in other states for sol- diers and sailors
 The hospital work of the Hall of States is, perhaps, the most impor- tant thing done there. Under a sys- tenn perfected by the War Camp Community Service the names of all wounded men, sometimes to the number of 4,OO0 arrivals day, are immediately divided into state a groups and put in the hands of the Hospitality Committees from the various states. The women at once write to the boys asking them to call at the Hall of States, or, if that be impossible, to indicate whether they wish to have visitor call on them.

No other writers speak to us with the authority of those whose ordinary speech was that of our translation of the Scriptures; to no modern is that was natural to period when as yet reviews were not; and no later style hreathes that country charm character lstic of the days ere the metropolis had drawn all literary activity to it. self, and the tramping feet of the mul- titude had banished the lark and the daisy from the fresh privacies of Ian guage.

Educational Problems in India.

The Girls school at Katra, Allaha- bad, can accommodate but few Hindu girls in the boarding department be- cause of the difficulty of caste. One Brahman girl who was very anxious to enter the school had to be refused because she could not do her own cooking and take the full course, and she could not because of caste regu- latiOnS eat at the clubs with the Chris tian girls. A woman was found who would cook for her, but this woman refused to wash the dishes, because to do so would make her ceremonially unclean. A second woman said she would wash the dishes, but she couldn't cook for the Brahman girl because she was of such low caste that the girl would not eat her cooking. As 1t was impossible to take in two extra wom. en besides the girl she had to be re fused.-The Continent.

Eishlnu for DYea.

It is not generally known that there exists in the Mexican gulf half brother to the cuttlehsh of the Indian ocean. from which formerly the worlds supply of India ink was ob tained.
 The Indian cutie. when pursued by sharks or other birds of prey, exudes a black, pastelike substance. which dis colOrs the water in its wake, blinding its pursuer, and, screening itself from view, makes its escape. This exudence gradually comes to the surface in a foam and is eagerly gathered by the natives, who knead it, dry it, press 1t into cakes, ready for the market-al- ways commanding a good price.
 Draughtsmen have for two or three centuries used India ink because of Its deep copy and indelibility.

Long and Short Pipe Lines.

The 36-mile oil pipes linking the Clyde and the Forth, one of the en- gineering works with which the war has endowed Britain, is propOrtionate in length to it's island home. Conti- nents have oil pipes of length which completely dwarf the very respectable dimensions of the Clyde to- Forth achievement. America has a petroleum pipe extending from Texas and Cali. fornia across the Isthmus of Panama, dating, of course, from before the opening of the canal. Asia claims the longest oil pipe in the world, or at any rate one of the longest, in that conduit which runs between Baku and BatOum, Ia distance of $50 miles.

or later penetrates to the outer sur
face and engulfs its victims.
With all her money gone, the hero
inc performs honest labor to pay back
her gambling debts and those, con-
tracted for gowns at Madame Ribouts.
She awakens the love and admiration
OF Cleveland Buchanan, wealthy
idler, who also starts in to make his
life more useful by helping, unfortu-
nate men and women.

lent opportunity to display her emo
tional talents as the picture abounds

Thin, Nervous People
Need BifTo-PhOsphate

Weak, thin people-men or women
are nearly always nervous wrecks;

ness, weakness. debility and neurasthe-
mia are almost invariably dug to nerve
starvation. Feed your nerves and all
these symptoms due to nerve starva-

Eminent specialists state that one of
the best things for the nerves is an
organic phosphate known among drug
gists az Bitro- Phosphate, a five-grain
tablet of which should be taken with
each meal Being genuine nerve
builder and not stimulant or habit
forming drug, Bitro-Phosphate can be
sa fely taken by the weakest and most
delicate sufferer and the results fol-

BY strength the nerves. weak,
tired people regain energy and vigor;
thinness and angularity give way to
plumpness and curves; sleep returns to
the sleepless; confidence and cheerful :

eyes become bright. and pale, sunken
cheeks regain the pink glow of health.
CAUTION-Bitro-Ph Phosphate, the use

so much so, that many people report
marked gains of weight in Few
