Drive Truth Home.

There were other exhibits designed to drive home the same hard truth One was a model showing a bleak farmhouse on bare hill. At the bot tom of the hill ran little stream, and by the stream were barns and cattle. Struggling up the hill toward the house with two heavy pails of water was bent old woman. And the legend was Convenient for the cattle-but not for mother.' Then there was farmhouse with the water supply as it should be, the woman in the yard sprinkling her flower beds with hose. And the in-' scription read: Convenient for moth er-and the cattle, too" Another model showed kitchen as 1t should be, and another. a kitchen as it should not be. And there was the legend: "A long-distance Kitchen shortens life"
 The lesson taught by the exhibit is one that the state agricultural colleges and the United States department of agriculture are trying to teach by every means at their command- great CT convenience and q larger measure of comfort in the farm home.

EAGLE RACES WITH AVIATOR
Big Bird : Defeated In Encounter Wi.n AirpIane Above the
 Pyrenees.

London.-Eagle and airman have met in contest for the supremacy of the upper air and the eagle has been defeated. The encounter occurred high above the Pyrenees recently when a British officer was piloting single scatter scout machine from Paris to Madrid The airman was flying at a rate of 100 miles an hour when big eagle scared up to meet him.
 .'It was as if the eagle had thrown me challenge" said the airman, "but my smile died when I thought that perchance a dive by the bird or may be a collision would send me crash ing to the rocks beneath. The eagle numbered around me at about ninety miles per hour and I throttled down to the same pace while we took stock of each other, for all the world like two antagonists above the western front.
 ssThe eagle started to climb and l opened the throttle and looped right over him. He made one great effort to catch up and with it his strength failed. His wings gave a feeble beat, and with every appearance of shot plane he dived to earth completely exhausted"

CALIFORNIA RICE DOES WELL
New Agricultural Industry Produces Crop Worth Millions
 of Dollars.

Washington.--In eight years the Sacramento valley of California has developed anew agricultural industry, rice growing, which this past season has resulted in gross production es- timated to be worth approximately twenty-one millions of dollars. This showing is the result of research car ried on by the bureau of plant indus try of the department of agriculture. Following experiments by the bureau covering three years, the first com mercial rice crop as planted in 1912. The value of the 1919 rice crop in Cal ifornia will probably be several mil lions greater than that of wheat and peaches, both of which are commonly thought of as relatively large crops in that state.

 TEACHES LESSON
Exhibit at Montana State Fair Sent People Away Thinking. -Epitaph There Drive Home the Truth.

Berne Switxvri.,ild. --.'r,}l, "t'is l,'" g- cround of Eurnne" of before the @ur. Switzerland has become ''the plotting ground of Europe" of after the war.
 And all of this plotting may now be summarized in one general end of "the constitution of a Danubian confedera- ton."
 To the credit of the Swiss it must be said they resent in the extreme de gree the abuse that is now being made of their country and their hospitality bv the exiled rulers and statesmen of erstwhile empires and states, but they are as helpless in the matter as they are innocent.
 Keeps Everybody Busy.
 While they cannot keep their little country from being converted into an incubator, however. they can at least try to keep the plots being brooded therein from actually matching, and the Swiss secret service, together with it's gendarmes, it's policemen, it's detectives and it's public officials generally, are putting in quite few sleepless, nights to this end.
 Now that the gradual readjustmeni of Europe has left no doubts in the minds of certain exiled rulers, like ex- King Constantine of Greece and some of the former rulers of German states of the hopelessness of their cause, all of the plotting in Switzerland has come slowly to center on one great scheme, scheme that is not only con sidered possible, but that is considered by many of the great minds and au- thorities of Europe as being absolute ly imperative and inevitable.
 This is the constitution of Dan- ubian federation to replace the old dual monarchy, and which. according to it's packers, is the only thing that can insure the life of the half-dozen or more states into which the old Austri- an-Hungarian monarchy has been d- vided.
 Vital and imperative.
 Whether this Danubian federation has its center north of the Danube with what is left of Hungary and Aus tria as basis or whether it has it's center south of the Danube with Serbia and Roumania playing the reading role; whether it be monarchical or re- publican in form, together with half dozen other possibilities or ramifica- tions, are generally considered unim- portant. All that is regarded as vital and imperative IS that such confed- eration be V '.tuted anG ' # he organized f 4li harmony '. and support of the allies.

Washington.-It was a neat little country cemetery, much like most lit tie country cemeteries, yet there was something queer about 1t. There was the arched gateway and the customary weeping willows by it. The clipped hedge was like most cemetery hedges The tombstones were about the aver age run of tombstones. But, withal, there was something queer-eyer shocking. Then you discovered what 1t was. These were truthful tomb stones. Consoling platitudes-"To pure for earth" and that like-found no place. Instead, there were such epitaphs as these: "Mother-walked to death in her kitchen ;' Sacred to the memory of Jane-she scrubbed herself into eternity" Grandma washed herself away" "Susie-swept out of life with too heavy broom"
 Made People Think.
 The people who saw that cemetery and there were thousands of them may have been shocked for the instant, but they came away with the thought that one might be better. for seeing such a cemetery. For, you see, 1t was a miniature cemetery, three feet square, and 1t was part of an exhibit at the Montana state fair. Such levity with the most solemn thing that man. kind knows could not be justified merely on the theory that the things said were true-but those who saw it came away with the belief that 1t was justified by way of keeping just those things from being true. And that was the purpose of the exhibit, placed there by the agricultural extension de partment of the State Agricultural col lege of Montana. It \ as meant to em- phasize the need for home convent ences, for lack of which many farm woman has gone to her grave before her time.

n There are some people who hold
That a woman 10 never any more
beautiful than her nose. They 60
SO far as to say that you never hnd
a really beautiful nose save on the
face of a really beautiful woman.
although otherwise plain women
may possess charming eyes or cap
tivating mouths or may have match
less compile xions. And there are
some people who really seem to be-
lieve that there never was a strong
man who didn't have a strong nose.
Napoleon was one Of these. He
made a practice never to select a
man for q responsible position who
did not have a strong nose.
But these people attach more i'm
portance to the nose than 1t Is real
ly worth. There, have actually been
any number of 'ravishingly beautiful
women who had very Indifferent
noses. or at least IL they were not
ravishing they managed to- make
those who knew them think SO. And
there have been strong, command
ing men who have had very inferior
noses indeed. So don't be discour-
aged IL you are one of those whose
nose is not all II should be. 1t really
isn't so important a feature as some
persons suppose. Provided you have
other strong features and traits you
can achieve distinction without a
distinguished nose and provided you
are otherwise beautiful you needn't
lay awake nights worrying over
your nose.
| Thackeray was one of the cele-
n Ad ~ rKyhn
with a very inferior looking nose.
1t was broken. so they say, in child
hood. but IT couldn't have had much
size anyway. The break. instead OF
making il beaked. fiattened II out
where the bridge ought to be. There
were friends of Thackeray's who
used to speak of this feature as his
dear old nose" And Thackeray him.
self was always very charitable in
Judging the noses of others. He was
not one of those novelists who al
ways endowed his heroines with per-
fectly turned noses.
The charming Laura Bell, in Pen
dennis" is described as a young lady
very good to look upon. but when he
comes to her nose in his description
of her he simply says that he must
leave that to his readers imagina-
tion.
Victor Hugo does not seem to have
been one of those who feel that a
perfect nose Is essential to feminine
beauty. In "Toilers of the Sea" he
SAYS of Deruchette that from her
infancy she had been remarkable for
| her beauty. Connoisseurs in such
matters had grave doubts about her
nose, but the child. having probably
determined to be pretty. had finally
satisfied their requirements. She
grew to girlhood without any seri-
GUS loss of beauty; her nose became
neither too long nor too short; and
when she was grown up. her critics
admitted her to be charming" From
all of which the reader is left to
surmise that Deruchette was one of
those pretty women who was pretty
! in spite of, rather than because Of,
l her nose.

She held up her lips for good

man car conductors.
Lila turned away, discreetly from

troubled. Doris lips were cold to
her husbands touch and the adieu
was almost perfunctory. He waved

through the gate and the train be-

which had greeted her the last time

Colds. tonsilitis, grip and the
other ills which are sometimes mis-
taken for influenza are all alike in
that they are draining in their ef-
fects on the system. In the nursing
of these things remember that your
patient '.is often too sick to be
nursed today" Do what is neces-
sary but don't use up his vitality in
your anxiety to remedy the disease.
One of the usual forms OF treat
ment, the hot foot bath, should be
given after he goes to bed. Loosen
the covers at the foot of the bed.
rlace your foot tub on the bed and
have the patient bend his knees and
place his feet one at a time in the
water. Throw an extra blanket
across the lower limbs, over the
tub, keep the water renewed and
hot until he begins to perspire.
In influenza, where every extra
movement is dangerous, the liquid
diet should be given through a tube
or feeding cup, so that he will not
even need to raise his head. These
points apply in all cases of serious
| illness where the doctor is trying to
conserve energy and save the heart
and lungs.
The temperature Is best taken
under the arm so that the patient
need make no conscious effort tc
hold the Thermometer as he would
be compelled to do in taking 1t by
mouth. The thoughtful nurse will
find many similar ways to save
waste of energy on the part OF the
patient. and she should employ
them all.
