Scientists say typhus fever is
spread by feas that bite rats,
then humans. Recalling that Rocky
Mountain fever, spread by ticks,
was conquered by "tick-juice inocu-
lation," the scientists suggest that
q similar remedy for typhus may
be made of the rat-biting flea.
Ground-up fleas as medicine
would not be pleasing.
Human beings and their govern
ments should have the energy to
eliminate rats. Then fleas could
not bite them. SINH arly, they
should wipe out crocodiles, that
supply the death germs of sleeping
sickness to the tsetse fly.
Impossible? Suppose each rat con-
tanned a gold dollar and each croco-
ollie $40 bill, how long would they
last?
Turkey, seeking to uncover the

of enlisted men of the army who
in action involving actual conflict
with the enemy distinguish them
selves conspicuously by gallantry
and intrepidity at the risk of their

"any person who, while serving in
any capacity with the army of the
United States, shall distinguish him.

acts of heroism in connection with
military operations against an armed
enemy. There is also a navy cross.

Light Year Illustrates
Immensity of Creation

Concerning the dateless history Of
creation, need to invoke but one
Illustration. Astronomy, by its mar
velous optics, is now able to descry
in the depths Of space material sys-
TENS whose rays require at least q
million light years to reach our earth.
What is a light year? Remember, a
ray of light moves at the amazing
rate of 10000 miles In every second
Of time. Now, multiply the seconds
into minutes and days until you reach
a full year Of seconds, then you have
a light year. Then think, II you can,
that 1t has taken a million Of such
years for the light OF some discovered
systems to reach our earth. But still
the real fact to remember is that the
light In which we see these fir-distant
worlds is itself million years old.
We do not see these realms as they
are today, but as they were million
years ago. And yet this is but a mere
fraction Of an hour in those infinitely
far-fung ages which might take US
back to the beginnings of creation.-

Find Tomb Richer Than
Thns Of Tut-Ankh-Amen


what nay prove to be the most im-
portant Egyptian tomb yet discovered
is that Of Ra Ouer, who lived nearly
five thousand years ago. He was high
priest Of Egypt, but he seems also to
have held a bewildering number Of
high Offices. The tomb consists of two
chambers. One Of these contains the
sarcophagus of a queen whose name
has not yet been found. The mummy,
though, has wonderful gold crown
flashing with Jewels.
The second chamber is, perhaps, the
more interesting owing to the objects
it contains. The Egyptians believed
that the soul of dead person passed
to land where it would need all the
things that had been necessary in
life. For this reason they often
placed in their tombs not only food,
but clothing, boats, carriages, chairs
beds, weapons, and a complete outfit
of household utensils. Thanks to this
custom we know more about the
Egyptians than about any other an
Gent people.
Owing to his many state offices, the
articles placed In Ra Ouer's tomb are
Of astonishing variety. Professor Has
san believes that, when all have been
examined, the find will prove of great
er Importance than the tomb of Tut
Ankh-Amen.

Mediterranean sea. 1t Is a low shrub

and the fruit consists Of four nutlets.
Rosemary was valued In ancient times
for its aromatic quality and medicinal
uses, but Is now used mainly for Its
perfume. As an emblem Of remem-
brance, rosemary plays an important
part in folklore and literature. In
Shakespeare's Hamlet" Ophelia
says: There's rosemary; that's for
remembrance" According to tradition
this herb strengthens the memory, and
was also used a great deal at one
time to quiet the nerves. 1t was often
used at weddings. and to wear rose
mary was always taken to be sig
nlficant Of a wedding. The nurse, in
Shakespeare's "RomeO and Juliet" re-

the language Of flowers 1t means fl

Sharp Words Get Credit
for Ending Hiccoughs

A difference of opinion has arisen
in Seattle as to how to cure a bad
case of hiccoughs. A short time ago
a Seattle resident had a very bad case,
was sent to hospital and was cured,
but that did not close the incident.
The hospitals official report was
that the hiccoughs stopped after ad-
mlnistratlon Of adhesive binding and
lemon Juice Unofficlal versions, how
ever, are to the effect that an exas-
perated nurse sharply told the patient
to quit being a fool, and that was the
last of the hiccoughs.
1t Is a good subject to argue about,
because everybody knows all about
how to cure hiccoughs. One does not
have to be doctor to prescribe in a
case Of this kind; In fact, being a
doctor Is rather handicap. The laity
has more hiccough cures than were
ever In any medical book, and can cite
cases where every one of the cures
has worked. 1t can be proved, by
afidavits II necessary, that eating
vanilla ice cream has cured a hic-
cougher after the doctors had given up,
and that the application Of a silver
tablespoon, Ice cold, to the back of
the neck has been instantly effective.
Seattle is welcome to what pleasure
1t can get out Of arguing how to treat
but In the long run the sharp
tongued nurse will get as many votes
as any of the experts.-Spokane

Clever French Gypsies
Prev ON the Ignorant

Superstition still fourishes In France
as a thriving commercial proposition,
despite the advance Of general educa-
tion. Apparently any gypsy with a
fluent tongue can make an easy though
dishonest living. The latest example
is reported from a village near Amiens,
writes the Paris correspondent Of the
London Daily Telegraph, where
tradeswoman, Nine. DobersecQ, has
been swIndled Of $1,000 BY two for
tune tellers.
The first gypsy appeared under the
guise Of a hawker Of lace. As she dis
played her wares she mentioned that
there had been many fires In the dis
trict. and that 1t was under the curse
Of q particularly malicious demon.
Having thus aroused the tradeswom-
ans interest. she offered to tell her
II she herself was threatened.
Taking three hairs from Nine. Do
bersecQ's head and wrapping them in
paper. she burnt them. Nine. Dober-
secq swears that before the ashes
dropped to the ground she saw on the
seorched paper a sign Of cloven hoof.
That made up her mind for her. She
paid the gypsy $500. which the latter
said she would return after the notes
had been blessed with magic rites.
Later another gypsy called upon
Nine. Dobersecq. and said that they
were having trouble with the evil splr-
It. A much larger sum would have
to be blessed before the spell could
be broken. As she was given to I'M
derstand that her own daughter was
threatened by the powers Of darkness,
the tradeswOman handed over $500
more.

Is Ii the Unicorn?

Lord Belhaven and Stenton has re-
Gently suggested that the unicorn of
the Bible may be really the Arabian
oryx, or wathaihi, says London An
swerS.
One oryX, present from Ibn Saud
to the king, was at one time in the
zoo. Her favorite delicacy was ciga-
rettes, which she ate with great gusto.
Some Biblical commentators consid-
er that the unicorn, or reem, of the
Scriptures, was the animal known as
the rimu by the Assyrians, a wild OK
of great size, strength and ferocity,
very like the extinct aurochs. But
neither the oryx nor the aurochs was
a unicorn proper, for both had double
horns
This does not rule out either as the
Biblical unicorn, however, for the Re-
vised Version reading of unicorn"
is always wild OK"

Origin of Ice Hockey

The fantastic explanation has been
advanced that the Canadian Indians
originated the game of ice hockey by
taking la crosse Called baggataway
by the aborignes) and making it ap-
plicable to play ON skates. In con-
tradiction, the French Canadians main
tain that their ancestors were the in
ventors. Still other factions claim
that ice hockey was a "steal" either
from DANDY" a somewhat similar
sport that originated in England, or
"shinty," as played in Scotland, or
"hurley," the Irish winter pastime.
The now proved facts are that ice
hockey was created merely by taking
field hockey and playing it on ice.
The first game ever played was in
Montreal in December, 1879. The first
hockey rules were drawn up on Sep
TENDER II. 1879, by r.. F. Smith of

Cooperation Basis of
All Success in World

If there were more cooperation in
the world, there would be less fiction.
No home life, no business, no nation
can succeed without cooperation. Con-
fusion and wastage of time and energy
must naturally result. Look around at
all the successful men today, and then
look at the business concerns they d.
rect. In every case you will find that
cooperation is the corner stone of
their success. They have been shrewd
enough to realize that only failure
would have resulted had they neglect
ed cooperation.
And do not think that cooperation
means only cooperation on the part of
one section of the business, the home,
or the nation. The worker and the
owner; the head of the house and
the kitchenmaid; the prime minister
and the people-everyOne must do his
bit at cooperating.
There can be no happiness, no con-
tent of any Kind, if cooperation is
missing. We should have fewer brok-
en- lives, less unemployed, and no wars
If cooperation were given a reason
able chance.-London Tit-Bits.
