Water as a Diuretic.

A powerful. diuretic is water-its action in this respect, drank by a healthy man, being very marked, and 1t appears impossible to explain it's limitation by mere increase in blood pressure, whether local or general ; it has the power of increasing tissue change, and thus multiplying the prod ucts as fast as they are formed and thus, by giving rise to increased ap- petite, provides fresh nutriment for the tissues, and acts as a true tonic. In persons who are accustomed to take too little water the products of tissue waste may be formed faster than they are removed, and, thus ac- cumulating, may give rise to disease. Many gouty people are accustomed to take too little water, except in the form of a small cup of tea or coffee daily large tumbler of water drank every morning, and especially with the addition of some nitrate or car bonate of potassium, will prevel4: a gouty parOxysm.

Productiue Guam

Incident to his 1920 census, Uncle Sam has found that our island pos session, Guam, produces from it's 225 square miles, with it's population of 13,275 native, 1,14Q924 pounds of cOpra for export to the United States and 851,6 pounds to Japan.
 The live stock on the island in- cludes 6,149 water buffalo, 4,357 horses, 1,16O goats, 543 hogs and B cattle. Corn, sweet potatoes, taro yams, tobacco, cassava, rice, arrOwrOot and sugar, are included among the field crops. Coconuts, bananas, pine apples, papaya, cacao, lines, mangOes, grapefruit and even alligator pears constitute the food-producing trees and plants.
 Whereas, there are 1O62 males to 100 females in the United States, there are 95.7 males to 100 females in Guam. Some 41.7 per cent of the men are single.
 The climate is said to be tropical, but healthful and pleasant, remarks the Portland Journal. The island of Guam is almost a neighbOr, being only about $500 miles from our coast.

Pointer for the Housewife

The woman who reduces herself to a frazzle and her family to nervous wrecks does it by trying to do each separate piece of work to perfection. We all like a perfectly appointed household, but it is vastly more impOr- tant that a home should be comfort able, where the family likes to gather, than that no grain of dust should ever be seen. HOusework, done right, is more healthful than almost any other work. Making beds is an excellent ex- ercise for a sluggish liver, but don't forget that tired housewife may be rested and refreshed by a brisk walk in the fresh air. Fatigue is often caused from bad air, and with the lungs filled with pure air the body is able to throw off the pOisons.
 Pick out the important things to be done daily and do them, reserving time and strength for these things The important thing is meals. They mean more to the family than any thing else, as they are the fuel which keeps you going.-Exchange

CRUSHED BY TURKS
invaders Heel Trod Heavily on
 Town of Aintab.
Americans Are BusiIy at Work Help ing to Rebuild Once Prosperous
 Little City in Eastern Syria.

Clustering red-tiled roofs, white stuc- coed walls, the fresh green of grace full pOplars, and minaretS rising here and there in slender beauty--thiS is the picture greeting the visitor ap- preaching through the mountains rim ming it about, the once important town of Aintab, which neStleS at the foot of Mount Taurus on the eastern coast of Syria, says the Christian Science Monitor. a
 Aintab was not only beautiful, but prosperous in those days before the Turk invaded the land, swept it bare of its industry, scattered it's people to the four corners of the earth, and de- ported them inland to the desert or outward to the fringe of seacoast.
 Today, however, as One approaches more closely to the town, one sees that there are gaps in the rows of white succeed houses, that many Of2thOse picturesque red-tiled roofs are falling in. that many of the houses are empty and decaying, and that tl.e town which looked so beautiful from afar is really shell, an echo of that once busy, flOurishing Aintab which with it's 43,- GOO inhabitants, formed an important link in the caravan route from Con- stantinOAe, and was known far anC wide for it's trade in tOOied lea ther and it's great cattle market.
 When the first party of Americans from the Near East relief reached Ain tab after the Turkish military had swept on it's devastating course, the wanderers, hearing that help was to be had, began to come struggling back. They must be fed and housed. their homes remade. schools rebuilt for their children, and places must be provided for the little ones left homeless. Promptly the work was begun and took On.at once twOfOld significance :; not only did it furnish employment for the wOrkmen, but also shelter for their families. The women found en- plOyment in weaving, and turned the wool, which is plentiful in Syria. Into fabrics much needed by those who had lost all their possessions, incIud- ing clothing Some of them wOve rugs and ready market was found for them, often among the American relief workers.
 Slowly but surely Aintab is coming into her own once more. New Armen- ian houses are beginning to rise from the ashes of the old; refugees are pouring back from desert and noun tains and the shore of the sea. And once more the cries of merchants re- sound as they call their wares their rags and scraps of household con- mOdities, in the bazaar in the center of the town. s.

TAUGHT USE OF PLoWSHARE
How Legendary Chinese Emperor ls Said to Have Encouraged AgFl.
 culture in That Country.

In Europe the most significant of the gifts of the soil are wheat and flax; in China they are silk and rice. Old Chinese myths name Shen-nung or Siennung the divine labOrer," a legendary emperor who is said to have reigned in the first half of the third millennium before Christ, as the fla ther of agriculture9 It was he who first made a wooden plowshare and taught the people how to use it. Shen- nung was one of the three emperOrs whom legend reveres as founders Of the Chinese social system. It was Shen-tsan, or Sien-tsan, the wife of Huang-ti, another of the three, who taught the people the rearing of silk worms and the treatment of cOcoons and threads and the weaving of silken garments, so that her subjects might no longer suffer from "chapped and frOst-bitten skin."
 The sanctuary of Shen-nung is still standing, south of Pekin, R. Meyer Riefstah1 writes in Asia Magazine. Here the last emperor of China used to come every year to bring a sacrifice to the presiding divinity and to open a furrOw in the soil with his own hands. The ceremony is very ancient. Even in the sixth century there was an imperial field that formed 8 sanc- tuary fourteen Ii south of the capital. There, in the first months of spring, on day of good augury, sacrifices of a steer, a sheep and pig were made to Shen-nung and to HOu-tsi. The em- perOr, clad in his state robes and the ritual bonnet, entered the golden char lot of state and performed thrice the ritual of sacrifice. After this the cere- mOny of blowing took place
 To the north of the city, in Olden times, Shen-tsan had an altar. Later the shrine was transferred to the pre- cinct of the palace, where the en- press presided over the rearing of silkwOrms and the production of silk. Old records mention the mulberry grove of the empress and her pavilion for the rearing of silkwOrms. Toward the middle of spring, in ancient times. the chief of the court would sum- mon the empress to the grounds north of the city to begin the rearing of silkwOr1ns. The ladies of the palace and the wives of high Gignitaries aid ed her in the task. After fasting and sacrificing to Shen-tsan, the empress and the cOncuhines of the emperor themselves gathered the mulberry leaves. The silk obtained was used for the Sacri1cial robe of the emperor.

Oil Prospects in Australia.

Analyses of petroleum gas at Roma Queensland, have been made which show it to be considerably richer than the gas from most petroleum wells. Using American standards of pressure and temperature in absorption tests, it Is estimated that the Roma gas will yieldt2 pints of petrol per 1000 cubic feet. The mines department has decided to continue boring below the gas strata, in the belief that oil will be found. Difficulty in obtaining casing is delaying further boring at Marburg, Queensland. The bore is now over 400 feet down, penetrating sandstOnes and shales which contain productive coal measures, while tests of sample of the sludge from the bottom of the bore reveal a small per centage of oil.
