LITTLE ISLAND HAS HISTORY 0 Ò Helgoland, Y Q Goodyear Tires 6 Before Germany acquired the Is land of Helgoland and st nt 2.000 sol diers there to man the fort/ the citi zens were law abiding. When there was an oeensionnl misdemeanor no need to send a police “ lookout” warn ing. An islander, when arrested, would go to the little jail and Inform the keeper he was imprisoned. In ancient times the island was called Hertha. A temple of Foesta, a Frisian goddess, was there. From the tenth until the fourteenth cen tury It was Independent. Then flic dukes of Schleswig took it over and used It mainly as a pawn for loans until the Danes acquired It 400 years Inter. Denmark ceded it to Great Britain early In the nineteenth cen tury and the British, while recognizing Its military Importance, fortified It only for defensive purposes. But the Ger mans built a great sea wall of granite and steel, at a cost of $30,000,000 and spent millions more on turrets and big guns. Visited by so many nationalities, the Islanders absorbed customs and Ideas of many lands, yet seemed to adorn each with a distinctive touch. They even had a curious quirk In their Satan —a wooden leg— so painted In a pic ture of the "V Juptation of Christ” In the historic church by the island artist of the seventeenth century, Andreas Amelink. Hence a Schleswig saying: “ In Helgoland the devil goes on crutches.” Built as well as we know how, the Goodyear tire has come to a stage of perfection. Years of experience has taught us a great deal and you who use the Good year get the benefit of years of experience. Its reputation and employment are steadily and swiitly gaining, as word of its advantages become more widely spread. T od ay it ts the stand ard equipment on a pronounced majority of the finest motor cars built in this country. Goodyear cord tires cost more money to build than do tires of an earlier type. It is the experience of users, that despite the somewhat higher cost the Goodyear cords cost less in the end. --------- FO R S A L K MY L Reed & Shibley KODAKS- NO CHANCE FOR PICKPOCKETS Abb KlN.nS AND SLJPI'bIKS Woman Can Ca rry Her Valuables and Indulge in Laugh at Light- Fingered Gentry.

See Our Price List TJie Scrap Book BEGUN BY THE ABORIGINES Uae and Abuse of "Narcotics Cannot With Justice Be Laid to the White Race. The use of cocaine and tobacco as narcotics was begun by the aborigines long before the new world was dis covered by white men. Cocaine is a derivative of cocoa. Natives mixed It with dried cocoa leaves, lime or oth er alkalis, or shells ground fine. This was chewed by the natives along the west const of South America. The practice of mixing alkalis with narcot ics was also practiced by tobacco chewers In sections adjoining the ‘cocoa chewers” land. Then it sud- lenly made its appearance on the Pa cific const of North America. Just Tow this happened Is a puzzling eth- mlogieal problem, ns the two coun- ries are so widely separated. Taking snuff was correlated with he chewing habit. Smoking was the most widely distributed method of us ing tobacco. Three original ways were localized: with the elbow pipe !:i the greater part of the United States, Canada and the eastern part of South America; with the cigarette in Mexico, Central America and the western United States, and the cigar In the West Indies and the greater part of the Amazon countries.

DEAN CF PAINLESS SURGERY i Joseph Lifter L'ves in History as One of tiie Greatest Benefactors cf Mankind. One of the world's greatest benefac tors was Joseph Lister, the eminent English surgeon who was the first to apply the antiseptic system of sur gery, of which he was the discoverer and pioneer, bister died seven years ago. The first great advance in mod ern kurgery was made during the sec ond quarter of the nineteenth century, when Godwin. Mitchell, Jackson, Wood-Baoho and Doctor Morton dis covered and applied anesthesia, which did away with the pain/and horrors of the operating room. Since then vast Improvements have been made In un- . esthesla. It remnined for Lister to Introduce antiseptic surgery or treat ment to kill germs in surgical opera tions and accidental wounds, by which flie lives of thousands have been saved. In addition to this important dis covery, he made Important observa tions on the early stages of inflamma tion, the coagulation of the blood and other matters. Lord Lister (he was elevated to the peerage) was surgeon extraordinary to Queen Victoria and later to King Edward. Red Cross Work to Continue. The ambulances of the British Red Cross are to be among the war-work ers that will never be demobilized. The pick of that great park of ambulances, familiar to every soldier who lias land ed at or left Boulogne, will form the nucleus of a permanent service, in which all England will share. A com missioner is now at work finding homes for 500 of these ambulances, and Is so mapping out the country that, if possible, no place shall be more than 15 miles from an ambulance, which shall he at the service of any doctor who has a Serious case to move to hospital. All these ambulances will he under n central control, which will guarantee the efficiency of the car and ¡he service; and the organization will have the active assistance of those who have learned all there Is to learn about the running of ambulances dur ing the war. The rest of the ambu lances being over-much war-worn, or not specially well suited, will be added to the enormous total of cars and mo torcycles now being sold or scrapped. First Thrift Day. The first “Thrift day” In America was August 11. 1915. That was the first time one special day was i*ver officially set nshty’ for the purpose of encouraging attention to thrift. The day was celebrated in California as “Thrift day” in response to a procla mation of Governor Johnson. The oc casion marked the opening of the thrift congress, held at the i’anama- f'aeifle exposition by the American So ciety for Thrift.—Thrift Magazine. , Two Sides to It.
