HAD SUBSTITUTE FOR "WEED"
Ancient Romans Used coItsfoot as
Remedy and Also AZ Tobacco,
Says Writer.

The fumes of dried coltsfoot were
used as a remedy in case of difficulty
in breathing, both in ancient Roman
times and in Tudor England. Lyte,
in his translation, 1873, of Dodoens'
"Historie of Plants" says of coltsfoot:
THE perfume of the dryed leaves layde
upon quicke coles. taken into the
mouth through the pipe of a funnel,
or tunnel, helpeth suche as are trou-
bled with the shortness of winde and
fetche their breath thicke or often, and
do breake without daunger the impos-
TENS of the breast"
The leaves of coltsfoot and other
plants have often been used as a sub
stitute for tobacco in modern days. A
correspondent Of Notes and Queries, in
1897, said that when he was boy
he knew an old Calvinist minister who
used to smoke dry mixture Of the
leaves Of horehound, yarrow and
"foalsfoot" intermingled with 4 small
quantity Of tobacco. He said 1t was a
very good substitute for the genuine
article.
Similar mixtures, or the leaves Of
coltsfoOt alone, have often been
smoked in bygone days by folk who
could not AFFORD to smoke tobacco only.

HAD NEVER TASTED CANDY
Hunter in South Africa Discovered
Child Who Was Above Sweet
Tooth.

It is generally conceded that the at
fections of child can be gained. tenn
porarily at least, through gifts OF
candy. But one kind-hearted old gen
tleman who has an irrepressible affec-
tion for children and always goes
around with his pockets full Of sweet
meats, which he distributes to his
small friends, learned on one occasion
that candy was not an open sesame
to a child's heart.
He was on a hunting expedition in
Africa. His supplies included several
tins of tinsel-covered chocolates. Hap
pening to have some Of these loose in
his pocket one day when far inland
he encountered a small native. He
produced a couple and endeavored to
present them to the wide-eyed two
year-old. They were refused, even
when their tinsel wrapping was re
moved. The youngster had never
seen candy and did not know what II
was.-New York Sun and Globe.

The hasty Departure.

Ethel had been warned time and
again that she must not keep com
pany with Tom Jones, a young man
with a questionable character. But
it so happened on this particular
night that Bthel's father was the one
who greeted the young man as he
entered the vestibule of his sweet.

passed the time of the day than he
found himself seated in the middle
Of the street, assisted by the foot of
Ethel's angry father.
Ethel, just having completed her
toilet, came downstairs and asked of
her father what had become of Tom.
"He just went out" replied the
father, grufiy.
"Gone out7 How soon will he be
back?" asked his daughter.
"Well," replied he. with sarcasm.

These plans come from every group
In American life. Some are obviously
from lifelong students of history and
international law. Some are from per-
sons who have studied little. but who
have themselves seen and felt the
horror of war-or who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these DOM
inant currents: that If war is hon'
estly to be prevented. there must be
= face-about on the part Of the nations
In their attitude toward It; that by
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase Of the muni-
tions Of war must be limited or stop

ism alone will insure cooperation
among the nations, there must be
some machinery Of cooperation II the
will to cooperate Is to be made effec-
tive: that mutual counsel among the
nations is the real hope for bringing
about the disavowal Of war by the
open avowal of its real causes and
open discussion of them: and finally
that there must be some means Of
defining. recording. interpreting and
developing the law Of nations.
Statement of Jury of A AsDard
The Jury Of Award realizes that
there Is no one approach to world
peace. and that 1t is necessary to rec

psychological and economic factors.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1924-01-10

The only possible pathway 10 inter
national agreement with reference to
these complicated and difficult fac-
tors is through mutual counsel and
cooperation which the plan selected
contemplates. 1t is therefore the
unanimous opinion of the Jury that
OF the 22.165 plans submitted, Plan
Number 1869 is "the best practicable
plan by which the United States may
cooperate with other nations to
achieve and preserve the peace Of the
world"
II 10 the unanimous hope Of the Jury
that the first fruit Of the mutual eoun-
sci and cooperation among the nations
which will result from the adoption Of
the plan selected will be . general
prohibition Of the manufacture and
sale Of all materials Of war.

T expect to get paid in pleasure-the pleasure of hearing the birds sing and call and twitter; the pleasuse of knowing have done a good deed, and I expect to get paid in dollars and cents. Yes, sir, that's what ex- pect. We are going to have the finest farm anywhere around here just because of the birds. I've watched lem and I know. The more birds we have the less work I'll have to do fighting those pesky bugs and worms and hoeing out weeds. I watched Little Friend the Song Sparrow one day and he ate over 100 weed seeds in less than five min .utes, and saw Welcome Robin down in the garden pulling out cutworms at a great rate. They'll pay for all l do for them, and pay good many times over."
