Adv. r ym 1 o Holland's Sound Policy. Holland holds Java and her other outlying possesions, and maintains an important overseas trade, with a navy of very moderate dimensions that ranks perhaps twelfth among the na tions, She has some submarines, and will Increase the number of her de- j Btroyers and smaller protective craft. She has also an efficient army, based upon the principle of conscription or compulsory service. The ordinary field force of the Netherlands army amounts to about 150,000 men, while in the various reserves there are per haps 300,000 more. Holland has six million people, as against our one hundred million, and is not a warlike or militarized nation. But she could put 400,000 men into active service more readily than we could mobilize one-fourth as many, using our national guard and other possible sources of supply. If we were as well prepared relatively as Switzerland or Holland f to defend our homes, while continu ing to stand with them, as we now do, for the principles of justice, honor and civilization in the world, we should have at least six million men trained and equipped for military duty.

Discharges Small Cartridge, but One Capable of Inflicting Damage at Close Range Useful Defense Against Burglars. The smallest breech-loading cannon in the world is now being made for pocket use. It is not a toy, but takes a 22-callber rlm-flre cartridge. ' Of course, it is not easy to hit any thing at a distance with it, on account of there being no sights and the barrel being only half an inch long and con cealed, but a 22-callber bullet is use less except at very close range. The special use of this "cannon" is for scaring oft burglars, as when fired with a blank cartridge it makes a tre mendous bang, and fires a bullet that would inflict a nasty wound at close range. Its Inventor is Edmund C. Moore of New Tork, who is also the patentee of a rifle grenade. It is in the form of a pocket knife no larger than the usual knife and has Knife which Is a small pistol.

Anyone asked to ex amine the article and say what it is will be most likely to guess that it is some new-fangled pencil sharpener or cigar cutter. In the end of the knife is a steel block that turns out on a swivel, being held by a spring that Is released with the thumbnail and, reveals a hole straight through the block. The car tridge is inserted at the base of this Firing the Knife-Pistol. hole, the block is swung back into place, the trigger on the side is opened, thus cocking the pistol, which is now ready to fire. It is held in the hand and the trigger pressed down with the thumb. New York World Sunday Magazine. Survival Among Birds. The struggle of life among the birds and other wild creatures is so severe that the feeble and malformed, or the handicapped in any way, quickly drop out, writes John Burroughs in Har per's Magazine. Probably none of them ever die from old age. They are cut off in their prime. A weeding out proc ess goes on from the time they leave the nest. A full measure of life, the perfection of every quill and feather, and unerring instinct, carry them along. They are always in the en emy's country.; they are always on the firing line; eternal vigilance and cease less activity are the price of life with them. The natural length of life of our smaller birds is calculated to be eight or ten years, but probably not one in a thousand reaches that age. Not half a dozen times in my life have I found the body of a dead bird that did not show some marks of violence. Mules Now Kerchoo-lng. ' Even the mules in the mines here are suffering from the ravages of the grippe epidemic and stable horses and hostlers are kept busy caring for the sick animals. Many miners declare that they have caught the infection from the mules, who sneeze in the limited air supply in the underground workings and spread the germs all over. The local veterinarians have thus far vainly sought to find a remedy to combat the disease. In some cases quinine and whisky appeared to help the animals temporarily. Hazleton (Pa.)

Kit PSTO TOO MANY CHILDREN are under-tize, under-weight with pinched faces and poor blood; they do not complain but appetite lags, they have no ambition aad do not progress. Such children need the rich medldna nourishment in Scolt'i Emuluon above everything else; its pure cod liver oil con tains nature's own blood-forming, flesh building fats which quickly show in rosy cheeks, better appetite, firm flesh and sturdy frames. If your children are languid, tired when rising, catch cold easily or find their studies difficult, give them Scoff 'i Emulsion it supplies the very food ele ments that their systems lack. Scoff's Emuhion contains no alcohol and is so good for growing children it'ss pity to keep it from them. 14-47 Scott S-Bowne, Bloomfield.N.J. Elm Leaf Beetle Worst Pest Oregon Agricultural College, Cor- vallis. The elm leaf beetle, which has already become a serious pest in Mult nomah county, Oregon, and threatens to spread to other parts of the state. may be effectively controlled by lead arsenate Bpray applied to the foliage. The proper spray fairly applied at the rignt time to every portion of the in fested trees will hold the pest abso lutely in check, says A. L. Lovett, en tomologist at the Agricultural College. Commercial lead arsenate paste should be used at the rate of three to five pounds of the paste to fifty gal lons of water. Two applications should be given, the first in the spring just as soon as the leaves are out well. This is to poison the beetles that have wintered over, which deposit the eggs. The second and most important spray should be applied about three weeks after the first. This 1b to catch the young grubs Just hatching and the re maining beetles. Great care should be taken to get this second spray on the under surface of the leaves, since this is where the grubs feed. Where these sprays are not applied an appli cation must be made in July to catch the pests of the second generation. Newspapers stereotypers use Han ford's Balsam of Myrrh for relief from splashing metal burns. Adv. This Didn't Really Happen. "I won't wear my new dresses at Atlantic City after all."

"A married man has troubles of his own, usually." EASY WAV TO HEAL COMMON SKIN-TROUBLES A Baltimore doctor suggests this simple, but well-tried and inexpensive, home treatment for people suffering with eczema, ringworm, rashes and similar itching, burning skin troubles. At any reliable druggist's get a jar or reslnol ointment and a cake of res inol soap. These are not at all expen- sive. With the resinol soap and warm water bathe the affected parts thor oughly, until they are free from crusts and the skin is softened. Dry very gently, spread on a thin layer of the resinol ointment, and cover with a light bandage, if necessary, to protect the clothing. This should be done twice a day. Usually the distressing itching and burning stop with the first treatment, and the skin soon becomes clear and healthy again unless the trouble is due to some serious internal disorder. Samples free, Dept. 7-S, Resinol, Baltimore, Md. What an Automobile Buyer Looks For F. W. Vogler, president of the North west Auto Company, Reo distributors, says that the fundamentals on which cars are purchased by the majority of buyers who have analyzed the situa tion thoroughly before making a se lection, are based on four things that this class of purchaser insists on. The first question asked is how long has this model been on the market. Experience has taught the careful buyer that a first year model, regard less of who is back of It, is more or less of an experiment and the user ultimately pays for this experiment ing. When transmission is located on the rear axle, experience has taught the buyer that this is a good thing to avoid because of the shocks it must get over ordinary and rough roads. A third point of vital importance in the experienced buyer's mind is the size and stability of the manufacturer. The experienced buyer wants a car that is backed by the personal respon sibility of some one individual who is not under the constant fear that it dividends are not of a given amount at the end of the season the position will be open for another man. Service is the fourth demand of the customer who has been through the mill. He must know from personal observation for his own satisfaction that repair parts are kept at the dis tributing point Of course the finan cial and moral standing of the dealer selling the car is of equal importance.

'What's the Idea?" asked the store keeper as Farmer Corntossel closed the door carefully and edged over to the stove. "The idea of what?" "Of those clothes? That little hat and the sport shirt and white socks?" 'Them nsed to be my boy Josh's. He's got to have new ones an' my wife says these are too good to throw away. . I don't mind the hat ner the shirt, cos I kin let my hair an' whiskers grow.

"I understand young Mrs. Frlsber found a letter from another woman in Mr. Frisber's pocket" "That's awkward." "But it was from Mr. Frisber's mother." "In that case, I presume everything is lovely."

"I don't see how you can say such a thing," exclaimed his wife, re proachfully. "When I tell you a funny story you never laugh." "That's because I appreciate the story so much. I don't laugh because I'm paying close attention and try. ing to learn It by heart." Overdoing It. "I wish I were as active as a flea,' remarked the whimsical man. "Why so?" inquired his practical friend. "Think how easy it would be for me to jump out of the way of automo biles." "Umph! If you were as active as a flea, in proportion to your size, when you jumped you would be apt to land on top of a skyscraper." Preparedness. "What's your idea of preparedness?" "Well," replied Broncho Bob, "if you're havin' an argument with a man who keeps the same sort o' com pany you do, an' speaks the same kind o' language, all you need is patient reasoning and an' honest desire fur a square deal. But if it's an old-fashioned Injun full o' firewater, it's as well to let him get a glimpse of a six shooter, Job' to steady his nerves." Trouble In Store. "If women ever get control of this country, what will happen?" asked the alarmist. "Who can say?" replied the cynic. "But, suppose we had women in the army?"

An old husbandman, being a witness, was asked if he heard ths defendant call the plaintiff a lawyer. "I did," was the reply.

"Why, my good man," said ths Judge, "there is no dishonor in tht name, is there?" "I know nothing about that," ans wered he, "but this I know if a man called me a lawyer I'd knock him down." "Why, sir," said the Judge, pointing to one of the counsel, "that gentleman Is a lawyer and I, too, am a lawyer." "No.no," replied the fellow; "no, my lord.
