"H EALTH TRAINS"

In the interests of child welfare it is expected that ''health trains" will be introduced in Canada this summer. Such a train will consist of two cars which will be fitted as a travelling clinic with d staff of nurses and a physician in charge. The cars will carry special "lfealth movies" a series of charts will be exhibited and talks on food and care of their children will be given b the mothers in every hamlet on the route. The cars will be backed on to a siding in the towns where it is planned to make a stop. The idea Is not new one, but has been successfully carried out in New York state.

SYMPATHY THAT WAS REAL
Younaster, Himself Often In Trouble, Had Feilow-Feeling for Prin-
 cipal in "Hot Water"

The principal of the school had said some things which angered some of the board members, so he was accordingly summoned before that body. And of course word went around the building from teacher to teacher and pupil to pu- pil that the principal was to be called con the green carpet"
 Accordingly, the teachers and the most favored pupils began to express their indignation of the af- fair, and sympathy for the princi- pal, when along came the "black sheep" of the building-the boy who was weekly, and sometimes dai- ly, sent to the principal for his mis- demeanors. He gave the principal the sort of look one pal in distress gives to another, and said: E1 sure do feel sorry for you, and I want to help you all I can. Now, whenever l know I've got to go on the green carpet 1 just go and eat square meal, and 1t makes nse so satisfied with the world and myself that no one could hurt my feelings. If I were you now I'd do exactly that same thing."- ."-Indianapolis News.

ONES CONSCIENCE" A 6U!G.
Should Be Inner Knowledge That Tells Him How to Live to
 the Best Purpose.

The word conscience" is closgA allied, in origin as well as ultimate meaning with the word conscious ness" Both trace their roots to the Latin words "Con" (with, or within ones self and "Scio' q know.)
 The person who Is conscious. therefore, knows that he ls alive or at least that he exists. But the person who has conscience knows more than that. His conscience, or inner knowledge, tells or ought Ia tell-him how to live to tha best purpose, and what IS the right thlne to do under given circumstances.
 The common origin of the two words shows how closely intertwined are their meanings and of the near relation between "conscienee" and Consciousness"
 The person who has lost "con- sciousness" is either dead or else is in condition of physical helpless ness and uselessness resembling death. The person who has no con- science or has lost it might as we'll be dead-so far as any value he might possess to himself or the com- munity is concerned.-Milwaukee Sentinel.

HAIR NETS IN DEMAND.

Hair nets to the value of $S,000,- 900 were imported last year, where as a few years ago it was only a few thousands. Most of the hair nets are manufactured Ill China of human hair. The better grade nets are made from American-prepared hair, shipped to China, where it is fashioned into the nets and returned to this country. The lower grades are made of Chinese hair, bleached and then dried, after which opera ton they lose a great deal of their natural lifelike luster. They are all manufactured hx hand on forms.

The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1921-01-19

graphical pathway Of tribes pushing
westward from Asia and southwark
from the bleak Russian steppes toward
the warmer seacOast lands. Moreover,
Bessarabia il at the conveyance OF
these two history-beaten paths, and
many times q clash ensued to decide
which group should pass through the
meek of the bottle" toward Europes
lands of milk and honey.
Among the most narrowing Of the In
vasions was that of the Mongols In
the fourteenth century. They cane
across the Volga under Batu, grandson
Of that Mongol Charlemagne, JenghiH
Kahn, and though there is no complete
story of their depredations In Bes'
sarabia, that region probably suffered
atrocities similar to others which are
recorded In narrowing detail. At
Ryazan women and children were used
as targets in bOw-and-arrOw contests:
slivers of wood were driven under the
nails of the men; then they were cor
rallied in churches to watch their wom-
en- being tortured, and finally roasted
alive. Another city, Kozelsk, was re
named Mobalig, "City Of Woe" and
Kiev was laid waste after her people
had been manned and murdered.
A picture Of peaceful, pastoral Bes-
sarabia prior to the renewed ravages
Of the World war, furnishes pleasing
contrast. A delight to the few tour
lists who went through the region, were
the Moldavian homes.
A MOldavian interior was immaculate
and vivid. Brightly-colored curtains
and hangings were used. An inevitable
decoration were rows Of yellow
gourds, the raising Of which is one Of
the minor Bessarabian industries. The
people are deeply religious. Each ortho'
odox home had its altar, facing east,
ward, sacred bread beneath the icon,
and cOrnstalks placed in the shade Of
q cross before it. Even the affairs
were cOlorful because of their draper
les and candles, and many times they
were laden with flowers. The Bes-
sarabian women are sprightly, bright
eyed, and pretty.
Moldavians constituted about half
the inhabitants of Bessarabia. ROu-
mania, it will be recalled, was formed
by the union Of Moldavia and Wal
lachia; hence the adjoining Bes-
sarabia, with its large Moldavian pop
ulation, long has been the "Irredenta"
Of Roumania.

"ENCHANTED ISLAND"

Cyprus, fairy land of the Mediter-
ranean, which Greeks have been urging
Great Britain to turn over to them, has
a history no less strange than the fic-
ton Of Shakespeare's "Othello." for
which the island, in part, is the settiAg-
Richard Occur de Lion wrested 1t
from q ruler who had won 1t by forg-
ing letters in his monarch's name az
ter that ruler, Isaac Comnenus. had
refused to let the Crusaders ship
wrecked and seasick lady-love land
there the first time she asked.
Richard married Berengaria there
and went his way, after turning over
the island to- a penniless adventurer,
Guy dc Lusignan, who founded
"feudal state amongst spice gardens
and silken luxury" and thus establish
ed a dynasty which has been described
as the most romantic European his
tory.
