Mixture Of Races in France.

The mixture of races that have con
stituted the French people of today
has determined the principal physica
characteristics of our people Thus
1t has been found, writes the Paris
correspondent of the Journal of the
American Medical Association, tina
the average height for men is 16t
en-. 6 feet . inches).
The observations indicate that 85.1C
per cent of the French people have
chestnut hair. The blends are mex
in order. forming only 1872 per cen
Of the population. Pure black hail
is found in 1873 per cent-that is
slightly more frequently than red hair
which altogether was found in only
0.72 per cent of cases.
Pure black hair, so rare in France
is the rule in certain Mediterranean
countries (for instance. in definite re
gions of SPAIN. Very light blonds
form the majority of the population OF
northern Europe.

Queer Drugs once in Use.

Alchemy and medicine, as 1t was

and old blood could be made young

had been buried thousand years
and that gold was once lead, that after
being buried 200 years changed to red
arsenic and 200 years after that was
changed TO tin and then to silver and
last to gold.
A favorite treatment for govt was a
tea of daisy petals and cures were
many, although the real secret was in
the fact the physicians put the patient
on diet and rest cure went witt

NEVER GAVE UP A PROSPECT
Salesman Would Wait but he Had No
Idea Of Losing Sight OF a
Possibility.

Some years ago ] went into q store
to inquire the price of something, an
expensive thing this was, that l wanted
to buy some day when had the price,
says Il writer in the New York Herald.
They were just as nice to me as they
would have been If / had come in
ready to buy and plank down the cash.
Then for the time being forgot all
about it, but they didn't. About a
year after my visit to the store the
salesman l had seen there came in
to see ne. He WAS very agreeable
gentleman and in no way insistent !;
he had just looked in on the chance
that now | was ready to buy but my
bank account hadn't looked up to any
great extent and l was not ready, as
| told him; but / added that when
I was ready J. would come in, and
| would come to him.
That, | thought ended it as far as
hearing from them was concerned; but
not so. A year later I had another
call from the salesman, my friend, If
he will now permit me so to call him,
on the same errand; a pleasant call
and pleasant little talk, but with
the same result as before; and now,
year to a day after that second call,
he has been in to see me again. We
had our usual pleasant little talk, and
then | asked him
Don't you ever give up prospect?'
To which he answered, smilingly:
1--WE never give up a prospect till
he dies"

Antiquity of Peat.

The use of peat as a source of heat
goes back beyond the historical period
in the, ancient history of the early
tribes in northern Germany. Pliny, the
Roman naturalist, gives us possibly
the first indication of the use OF peat.
He reports that the Teutons on the
border Of the north sea dried and
burned. mud, what we now would call
peat IN Ireland. Great Britain, Rus
STA, Scandinavia, Germany, Holland,
and parts of France peat has been
used as fuel since time immemoriaI.
The peat was cut from the bog very

Imprisoned in Collins.

The most terrible prison in the world
is in Urga, Mongolia 1t consists of a
triple Stoclade enclosing number OF
underground dungeons which are pitch
dark and almost devoid of ventilation.
But this is not all. The wretched pris-
oners condemned to inhabit them are
shut up separately in heavy, iron
clamped chests, in shape resembling
collins. There is a small hole in the
side of each, just big enough for the
poor wretch inside to thrust out his
head or his manacled hands. They
see daylight for but few minutes
daily when their food is thrust into
their boX-prisons through the hole.
They can not lie down flat, they can
not sit, for they are not only man.
acled but chained to the coffins. The
majority are in for life sentences, and
no prisoner IS ever allowed ont of his
box under any circumstances, except
when he is to be executed or, as hap
pens very rarely-to be set free.

FRIDAY JANUARY Z, 1921.
NEWSPAPER A NECESSITY.

There are three most potent fac
tors in the life, growth aud Jevel-
opment Of community. They are
the Church, the School and the
Newspaper, and this is in the order
OF importance. 1t is not our pur-
pose here to eulogize.
We will pass over the first two OF
these factors, nd perhaps treat OF
them later. If the churchs were
thrown ont Of this community no
selfrespecting person could stay
here. With all our material pros.
perity we would soon drop back to
conditions such as ancient Rome
witnessed. And If the school were
discontinued material progress would
also stop and we would sink beyond
redemption.
Church is a public institution and
is supported by voluntary contribu-
ton. The school is also public
institution and is supported by
taxation. The newspaper is q semi
public institution but receives no
public support but has to earn its
livelihood through the regular
channels of competitive business.
1t is Of the newspaper that we
now wish to speak.
If all the newspapers and other
periodicals. in the country were dis
continued today the effect would be
somewhat similar to mighty plague
sweeping over the land. Darkness
would creep in, the darkness of
intellect us people would remain in
ignorance Of the happening in
localities only q few miles distant.
Business would slow down, and
telegraph communication would
soon fall into disuse no stimulus
would come from newspaperdom.
Even the postoilice receipts would
dwindle for much of its revenue
comes in direct response to adver-
Using.
The newspaper is the third great
agency in the advancement of
civilizltion,yet it is uneder estimated
more often than the first two. 1t
l. too often treated as merely a
business proposition. Few people
seem ever to get vision that the
true-blue editor has of using business
to advance the interests of a whole
community The preacher has one
iob--to preach; the teacher has one
iob-to teach; but the editor, if he
be true, has a triple job, and that
is to preach and teach, and hardest
of ali and with it all, too, to meet
his weekly pay roll, pay the other
cost OF production, and try to get
comfortable living--snd we all have
right to TINT.
Omitting the church and the
school, we can make claim without
axaggemtion, that ;rue newspaper
is Of more real importance, does
more good with less money, gives
more for less money tnan any other
business IN community. 1t is
true that some viii point to large
industrial plants that flourish in
the community and say that those
concerns WITH their big pay rolls
form the life of the community.
This we answer is only apparently
so. This appears TO be 50 from a
superficial naterialistic survey OF
the field. But the life is more than
food and the body than clothing.
the Zig industrial plants deal in
wealth, that is produced by labor;
but the newspaper besides dealing
in news, deals in bigger things
