IU. .J . -'.'! PAGE FOUR Fooling the Phagocytes War and Rumor of War Within the Human Body are Daily Incident How wo Deceive our Best Friend WE AKK prono to decolvo our frlendsjind the I'hagocyle aro no exception. Tlio I'ha goeyte nro our best nnd most intimntc f rioti'is and yet wo tuko no thought for their perennial willing ncss to fight for us our battles and over; cliauco wo got to foot them wo accept with unfailing enthusiasm. Tho Phagocytes nro tho police of tho body, always ready to club noma offending bacillus over tho head and run him into tho lockup. The Phagocyte are tho standing army of the body, only they do not stand still long at a time, so busy aro they in putting down insur rections on tho part of germs thought thoroughly naturalized or iu repelling invasions on the part of alien microbes. Let someth.ng go ftrong and tho l'ha gocytes aro there In a jiffy, foot, horso and dragoons, putting up a fight that makes tho heroic memory of tho Tro jans palo into cowardly insignificance. Every day the Phagoeytos havo their rounds to make nml their fights to fight, brief, hand-to-hand and eye-to-eyo encounters with hostile bacilli, and Kouietimes there aro general alarms and fierce, long conflicts with a determined enemy. That's when wo start in fool ing the Phagocytes. Ict tis say that wo havo a cold in the head. A lot of hostile bacilli ant encamped in the sensitlvo membranes up there, having tho unlawful time of their lives, rioting joyously In tho mis ery they are dealing to us. Hut, they Have forgotten in their unholy mirth tho army of tho Phagocytes. These in trepid organisms need no formal call to battle, no definite declaration of war, no official proclamation beforo they cross tho border into the territory of the enemy. Upstairs they rush, all hands to kreakfastl Soon, there is a fight in progre. Xo, not "soon," but Immediately. Tho bacilli of the cold, base dcspoilers that they are, grapple with tho Phagocytes. Why shouldn't theyf Even a rat will fight, once he's cornered. The little devils of the cold must fight or be de stroyed. So, there is a battle that is a battle and the arena which we arc rings nd resounds and has trouble a-plcnty with consonants and vowels. Then, when the ravages of war become too much to bear, we start in to fool the Phagocytes. You ee, wo know that tho Phago cytes are in tho blood and blood is what wo do not want up. thero In the war "district. Itather, we would starvo out the enemy. Wo prefer to wage a Fabian campaign, to ruako cunctatory war. Hut the Phagocytes first-class fighting men, they ennnot understand military delay of any sort. They en joy Light-Ilrigade charges, forlorn hopes, dashing maneuvers, but tho nrin ciples of scientific warfare aro to thcin a closed book. Xo, there's no use In reasoning with tho Phagocyte. There they are, in deadly embrace with tho bacilli of tho cold, knee-deep in goro and impregnated with tho lust of slaughter. Tbey wouldn't como down and quit auy more than a bulldog will let go as longaye, and longer as he can know and feel anything. The Pha gocytes are enlisted for the war; they inlerid to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer. 80, we, for whom tho Phagocytes are doing yoeman service, fool them. We put on our other end a mustard plas ter. Wo put the counter-irritant on the calve of our leg and wo put our feet In mustard water, sizzling hot. uurnt This false alarm is soon received by the Phagocytes, engaged In unrelent ing, savage, quarterlcss war 'way up there above tho equator. One can imagine tho IlUlo soldier taking eoun sel among themselves; "Yes, we have a very fine scrap on our hapfl here right now and It' get ting better all tho time, but there muit he wmething fierce coming off down toward tho south. At that, we'll have these fellows too dend to skin in two or three moro battles, and It might bo worth whilu to go below and seo what's doing. Wo can como back titty tlmo and olish of fhls gang here." 80, off rush tho Phngocytes, stilt spolliug for n fight, happy-go-lucky little warriors. They reach tho hot re gion and they gird up their loins, hitch their breeches, spit on their hands or do h.iteer n Phngoeyto does when ho prepares for the lists. Then they start to wade in. Imagine their blank aiunzement when they find that there is nothing into which they can wado, no too to fight, no drunk and disor derly Willi to rim In, no anarehlstle demonstration to disperse. Nothing to do at all ttnd a fine chance to fight pnel up. So, We? Phagocytes stand around with their hands In their poek ets for a while and send out scoutlni? expeditions. Still, they find nothing and they start back to the battlefield they've left so recently, only to find all the enemy dend and littering tho field. So. we reckon, the Phnnoevtos swallow their disappointment some how, cord up the decensed and start out on a humdrum existence of peace. That, friends, is what wo call fooling tho Phagocyte. Thero is something humnn about this business of mnking false alarms for the Phagocytes to answer. A good ninny of us spend part of our time fighting for folks who don't appreciate the sacrifices wo mako or tho love we bring to them. We aro all of us, If our hearts aro clean, of tho spirit of Don Quixote, after all is said and done. Wo nro like the Phagocytes, useful usu ally and somMimes foolish and In the wny. When wo nre In tho way well, then there Is some sort of a militant ap plication to call us to other scenes. Thero are many human Phagocytes nnd every day these nre being fooled. T Wash..

According to a recont treaty, Franco ceded a certain amount of ter ritory In Africa to Germany In ex change for concessions in Morocco, so that this led to expeditions on the part of both conntrie in order to fix the boundary line. Captain Pert quct states that wireless telegraphy will bo used for the first time on a large scale so as to determine lati tude exactly. Wireless stations now exist in the French possessions, also in Cameroon and Delglan Congo, and all these are to bo utilized by the expeditions. They will carry Im proves Kite lor mounting the an tonnao wires, also tho necessary wlro less posts. For taking the latitude they use prism astrolabes which givo tery close result. These measure ment will be combined with plan drawn up on the spot by tho allbade, this latter being used especially for tho important points.

Hidden Lake Is Big Boon Discovery of Water Underground in Washington County Great Benefit to Whole District HE discovery of what niuicars to bo an immense underground lake, underlying tho out fro cen tral portion of Grant County, is rospouslblo for tho tin-sent activity lit tho Moses Lake district, regarding which mention was made iu these columns last week. Laud that was unco considered practically worth less, because of the lack of water, Is now being reclaimed by tho use of pumpiug plauts, which luriiish an eco nomicnl means of supplying water (or trrigatlou trout a source which seems to bo Inexhaustible. Tho result Is tint barren wattes of volenuio ash nml sagebrush nro giving way to thriving orchard, ami alfalfa and ganlcu Held of prolific production. The soil is remarkably fertile ami produces heaxily when tho science of Irrigation is applied. Tho underground lako which ha been tho moan of this remarkable ehaugo is located in an ancient course of the Columbia lllvcr, Tho Columbia hn performed some strange fonts In hor day, uud this Is one of the strangest of them all. The lake is several miles in exteut nml crops out In various places throughout Grant County, These visible portion of this Immense body of water aro known as Moses Lake, 11 rook I.nke, Hound Lake, Hlnck Hock Lakes and Willow Lakes, and they form the outer rim of an area about III miles long and 20 miles wide. One settler who lives in the Inter venlug country carried his water in barrels for three years, hauling them n distance of 111 miles. Ito never thought of digging a well because the country looked so much like a desert that he never dreamed of finding such a thing n water beneath the surface. Hut one dny he was induced to dig a well, nnd ho struck an abundant supply of water at -10 feet. This caused a furore Ono settler aftc9another tagin sinking a well, and every tlmo that this was dono water was encountered, Tho re sult Is that today tho entire country is dotted with wells, nnd many pump ing plants haW been Installed, irrigat tng from 10 to 1,000 acre each. Discovery of water caused a rush, and practically all available-land has been taken up under the homestead of desert act. Much of this land is now being placed on the market by com panics that havo become heavily tn forested In the district, and tho coun try is being rapidly developed. Wen ntchco capitalist havo invested 11,000, 000 iu tho Moses Lake country and nre now Improving their land by setting It out to commercial orchards. The or chard that have already been devel oed In the Moses Lako district yield as heavily ns those of Wcnatchee, It in said, and tho fruit produced is shipped through the Wenntchee Fruit Growers Association. Ono company, Ifallett nros., main talnlng office nt 100 Piko St, Seattle, ha recently published a handsome booklet descriptive of tho district, and the Great Northern Railroad Is also sending out considerable Information regarding It.
