women are we to expect in public Of

1t is the cream of our women who are
entering public life. Take for in

that prompt recognition has been
given to the influence of women in

rights to the emoluments of office.

PoIiteness Is Too Neglected.

Courtesy! Prof. William Lyon
Phelps of Yale university is right in
saying that the young men of today
possess even greater power of endur-
ance than their fathers. The war has
demonstrated that the luxuries of mod
ern life have not produced a degenerate
race. Our own heroes Of 1776 We're no
more hardy than the young men in
khaki today after six months of train
ing. The endurance of the modern sol
der is not alone matter of physique
or physical strength but of moral
stamina as we'll. What we need to
cultivate is not simply sturdy man
hood through military discipline, but
also to give our boys and girls train
ing in courtesy. Military training
teaches obedience, quality that our
youth sorely need to acquire, but we
need to instill into the minds of our
children in the public schools lessons
of politeness and respect for the
rights of others.
No other nation has neglected po-
likeness as we have done-Leslies

HAVE MANY QUAINT BELIEFS
Alaskan Natives I1ol,ably as supersti-
tious as Any Race on the
Face Of the Earth.

In Alaska the natives have all kinds
that everything ha; spirit. and that
these spirits must be respected or else
bad luck will come to them. For in
stance, they must not throw away any
old clothing, nor burn it, for that would
be the same as destroying part Of
themselves. They r2...st make bundle
of the old clothes and put it on the
branches of large spruce tree out
side the village. Al! fish bones are
carefully put away in basket to be
taken out to the middle of river,
stream or lake and there thrown over
board. This is done so that every
single bone, after 1t is put back into
the water, will turn into a fish, and
this is sure to keep up the supply.
When a child is born the father
has to put away all tools that are
made of iron or steel and is not al
lowed to use them for 20 days. Dur
ing that time he is not allowed to go
outside to do any work or any hunt
ing. Should he do any of these things
1t would surely cause the death of the
baby. When child dies it is not
buried, but is wrapped in a bundle and
placed at the foot of a spruce sapling.
If the tree dies within a year the
spirit of the child dies also.
When grown person dies the body
is kept at least three days in the room
in which it has died. When the time
for burial comes the body is buried on
a hillside or high bank facing the
river. There is the village of departed
spirits on the side facing the river and
on the other side the spirits of the
dogs who have died and who belong to
the people whose spirits are there.
The spirit of an old woman takes care
Of these dogs.-Southern Workman.

Cement From suqar-Beet Waste.

A result of experiments in French
factories is the production of an eX-
cellent cement as a by-product of beet
sugar refining. The first step in the
production of sugar from beets is boil
ing them. 1t has heretofore been GUS
tomary to throw away as yalueless the
scum formed ON the caldrons. But it
has now been discovered that this
scum contains large quantities of car
Donate of lime. 1t is estimated that
1000 tons of the carbonates can be
recovered from 10000 tons of beets.
TO this quantity of the carbonate LOO
tons of clay is added, the resultant
product being a good cement. The
beet scum is pumped into large reser-
voirs and allowed to evaporate for a
certain length of time before being
mixed with the clay. 1t is then stirred
or beaten for an hour before being fed
into rotary ovens such as is used in
making Portland cement.

GOODBYE
WAX nerves!

Nothing wrong but my nerves."
We hear it everywhere. Nervousness
is a disease. A man or woman might
better lave a broken arm or leg than
shattered, rundown, nervous sys-
tenn.
overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells Of all their strength and
Vitality; then come the sleeriess
nights, poor blood, nervousness, worry,
and fear, that go with a rundown
nervous system.
In cases of this kind, Phosphated
Iron rarely fails to strengthen and
build up the phosphate hungry nerve
centers. II takes hold right from the
start.
The way the majority of people
come back" is remarkable. You can
almost see their nerves grow strong,
steady and peaceful. Their eyes spas.
kle, their cheeks are filled out, and
flushed with the healthy, rudy glow
that only pure, red, ironized blood can
give, and their whole system Is alive
with youth, energy and good spirits.
