Worms Avoid Electricity.

Applying his inventive mind to the
problem Of digging angle worms, Joe
Siegfried, 10 years of age, son Of J..
Fl. S!egfried, electrical expert for the
Pacific Power and Light company, has
devised better way, says a Yakima

electrical terminals in the ground some
distance apart, connects them up and
presses the button. All the worms be-

Thousands Have kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect It
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root Is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one Of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonlshing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Jected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tons are declined do not even SUSPECT
that they have the disease.
Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large. However, if you wish
first to test this great preparation send
ten cents to DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bingham
ton, N. Y, for a sample bottle. When
writing be sure and mention this paper.

GOOD FABRICS FOR BLOUSES
Crepe de Chine and Taffeta In Mod
els Showing Tie-Baek and
Tuck-In Styles.

Among the blOuses are models of
crepe de chine and taffeta. The crepe
de chine models are choosing both tie
back and tuck-in styles. For embel-
lishment they depend on lace and hand
embroideries applied with a sense of
discrimination. Venise and filet are
the laces favored, sometimes used in
combination and again employed alone.
A tle-back overblouse is treated
with flat venise motifs, the lower
edge and the neck outlined with
flet. The three-quarter set-in sleeves
are also finished with the lace. A
tie-back blouse Of flesh crepe de chine
is decorated with hand embroideries,
with added establishment furnished in
lace outlining the neck and sleeve
edges.
Fullness at the sides is introduced
in another flesh color model also fea-
turing lace medallions. A yoke effect
appears in a blouse boasting a tuxedo
collar, tucks and embroidered dots in
combination making a pleasing trim.
Another manufacturer stresses taf-
feta as a fabric medium. AS the name
indicates, these blOuses follow basque
lines in overblouse landings. The
sleeves are of the kimOno type, reach
ing to the elbow. Wool embrOideries
play an important part in the adOrn-
ment Of these numbers, novel motifs
decorating the blouse proper as well as
the sleeves.
Gay colors are salient features of
the taffeta blouses, the embelIishment
agreeing and contrasting in color. An

MADE JOBS TURKEY FAMOUS
Judge Halliburton Largely Responsible
for Popularity of Expression in
Universal Use.

To be "as poor as Jobs turkey" is
to have arrived at the extreme of
poverty, This expression has lived
through the years despite the fact
that it Is partly erroneous.
Job, when delivered by God into the
hands of Satan, was reduced to
deplorabIe state and according to the
legend, his turkey" had but single
feather in its tail and was so weak
that it had to lean against the fence
to gather enough strength to gobble.
The turkey was hardly known in
biblical times and even today cannot
be found in the region where Jobs
homestead is supposed to have been
located SO it was perhaps some other
sort of fowl the poor man owned
There was a time when the express
sion was heard far more frequently
than it is now. That was in the days
when Judge Halliburton Of Nova Scotia
wrote his famous humorous stories
under the nom de plume "Sam Slick"
and his reference to Jobs turkey was
so frequent that the animal became
as well known in everyday language
is Brer Rabbit and other heroes
of animal acknowledging Plain
Dealer.

Stereoscopic CoIors.

Within the last few years improve
ments in the stereoscopic effect of relief
maps have been attained by means
of a unique color scheme. The effect
is well shown when square is colored
with the reds in the center, and the
yellows, green's and blues ranged out
side the red in the order named. Such
square appears to the eye to be
raised in the center. If the order Of
the colors is reversed, the central part
Of the square appears to be depressed.
In arranging the colors the tints are
varied by careful graduation, and vio-
lent contrasts are avoided.

Ethel's Bird of
Paradise
By RUBY DOUGLAS

20, 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
Ethel was distressed about her
canary bird. He was being cOntami-
mated by the proximity of a common
bird that hung in the window of the
apartment below.
Il don't know how to overcome the
difficulty" she told her chum. "Dickie
is being absolutely ruined, and you
know what l think of him. He's a
wonderful roller, and l brought him
East with me and promised to take
him back, so as to have him mated
with another rare bird that belongs to
a bird fancier in our town. It's
shame"
what harm can a bird downstairs
do your Dickie up here, want to
known asked Rose, amused at the in
significant cause of Ethers worry.
"What harm? Why, that bird is
chOpper-a common chopper. He
makes a lot of noise, sings all the
time, has lovely feathers, 1 suppose,
and they-whoever they may be
probably think he's grand. Dickie
hears him-he's young, my bird, you
know-and he thinks it smart to imi-
tate those bourgeois notes. 1 have
closed the windows, but 1 can't suffo-
cate just because those people will
keep their common canary in the win
dow, can II"
Rose laughed. "Well, hardly, Ethel.
Can't you go and wait on these people
and ask them to remove their bird
from the Window
Ethel admitted that she had cOnsid-
cred even this step. at seems to be a
sort of studio, and l don't know who
lives there" she said.
In the course of the next few sunny
mornings her bird so defantly insisted
on learning the chopping notes of the
common bird downstairs that Ethel
was driven to desperate measures.
Leaving Dickie struggling with the
short, noisy notes he seemed so
enamOred Of she went downstairs and
knocked on the door below. A brass
cathedral formed the knocker and she
wondered who the people might be

Tree Forklnu.

Different species of trees like diff
ferent races of men, are different in
their habits. notes a naturalist. In
dividuals, of course, vary widely, but
each species has a ruling tendency.
This is very noticeable In the habits
in trees of forking or branching.
Broadly speaking, hardwood trees have
a greater tendency to fork than conf
fers. OF the common hardwoOds the
trees in which forking is perhaps most
prevalent, are the ash and the beech.
In the former case the cause is some
times due to injury by the Tines
Curticela, which bores into the bud
Of the leading shoot. The two last
side branches at once compete to take
its place, and in the course of growth
turn upward into two main stems.

Darling. 1t is Darling, is 1t nOt?
81 shall appreciate anything you
can do"
my name is Watson-Gilbert Wat
son."
Ethel turned toward the door and
he held 1t open for her. "You are
sure you don't mind?" asked the girl
as she stepped out.
ION the contrary am glad to have
become acquainted with the owner of
Dickie," laughed Watson.
He did not like to tell her that she
was the loveliest thing he had ever
seen in his life, and that she had quite
upset him, coming in, as she had,
while he was in the midst of one of
his most thrilling scenarios. He
found himself unable to concentrate
on the stunts of his hero, and instead
his mind wandered to ways and means
of subduing, killing or kidnapping his
sisters bird, Pete.
Eventually his plans carried and
bird fanicer in the neighborhood, pur-
porting to have heard the lovely notes
of one Pete, called upon Miss Watson
and offered her a most attractive sum
of money for her chopper" Miss
Watson, being a bit mercenary and
not so discriminating as Ethel as to
the quality of a birds song, accepted
the mans offer.
After couple of days of silence on
the part of Pete, Ethel began to be
conscience stricken. She stepped down
below and knocked again with the
brass cathedral.
'Oh, how do your" said Gilbert Wat
son, with more than WELCOMING
smile. He extended his hand, which
he realized afterward was not being
done, under such circumstances.

you care to come up and-and see him

-"SometimeW When?"
Come tonight | am having a few
friends in, and I'd love to have you
join us. Bring your sister, too"
But Gilbert said that his sister was
tired at night after sewing all day in
other peoples homes, and he came
alone.
On subsequent visit he was dis
cussing the bird. 81 shall always call
him bird of paradise" he said.
"But why?" asked Ethel.
Because he was the means of my
finding you-and paradise"
Which argument Ethel could not
well refute, since she, too had found
happiness in the same paradise.
