The Better
Impulse
w
By Cecille Langdon
(Copyright, 1917, by W. O. Chapman.)
"Lonesome today, I suppose?" ques
tioned Melvln Waite, as he came home
from work to be greeted with the
usual warm and welcome kisses.
"Why, not so much as usual, dear,"
replied bright and lovely Arllne, the
bride of a month. "Of course It Is
dreadfully horrid here without you,
but I hud company nearly half of the
afternoon."
"Indeed?" spoke Melvln.
"Yes. It seems that our neighbors
next door have three children two
boys and the sweetest cherub of a little
girl you ever snw. The three of them
trooped Into the yard shyly and ufter
a vast secret confab, the tiny miss ap
proached and asked me If I would
make a belt for each of the brothers,
as they had wooden swords and she
a flag and they were going to war."
"I declare I" commented Melvln, smil
ing In his usual good-natured way.
"They got hold of a broad leather
strap," wont on Arllne. "Well, to make
the story short I cut It In two and
found some buckles In your fishing
kit."
"Um I" muttered Melvln under his
breath, "of course, the sliver onesl
She'd be sure to pick out the pret
tiest." "I sewed the buckles on and fitted
up the little ones nicely," Arllne pro
ceeded with her narration. "Then the
delighted tots played soldier to their
hearts' content. It was a very pleasant
break In the monotony, for, dear, you
know I count every minute until you
come home."
Which compliment of udorntlon and
a hug and n kiss won Melvln over to
forget his cherished buckles. Soon,
however, his brow clouded anew,
"The scissors wouldn't cut the tough
leather," prattled on Arllne breezily,
"but oh I your razor was so sharp.
"Who Do You Think Turned Up
Again Today?"
Why, I snipped those belts out In a
Jiffy. Why, what Is the matter,
honey?"
For Melvln hud uttered a groun,
deep, dismal, foreboding. Deftly, how
ever, he avowed a cramp In his foot.
He allowed the episode to pass, but
he took the first opportunity he could
to Inspect his rasor case.
"It'i good there's two of them," he
soliloquized, and none too happily.
"Did a man ever see such iirtless-
ness -aud destructlvencss? I won't
cold, though. She will mend as time
goes on."
But Arllue did not mend. A week
later Melvln came home to find Arllne
Jubilantly excited as she held up to his
view a fancy vest.
"Isn't It cleaned Just beautiful?" she
demanded, with sparkling eyes. "Ton
know how It was spotted. Well, I got
your tooth brush and your hat brush
and some gasoline, and rubbed, and
nibbed, and rubbed, and why, how
glum you look, dearie I"
"Only amazed nt the fine Job you
have done," observed Melvln craftily.
It's the limit," he muttered, once
ptlone. "I'll have to consult mother
and see what cau be done."
But mother was kindly Indulgent.
She smiled In her gentle, patient way.
"My boy," she said, "don't forget
that Arllue Is young and Inexperienced.
And remember one thing nil these re
markable experiments of hers are
actuated by the very best Impulses In
the world. She means well, and I
wouldn't try to subdue the kindly
spirit for worlds, If I were you."
So Melvln bore Ills burden patiently.
Then came a Until move on the part
of Arllne that very nearly drove him
frantic. He searched the wardrobe one
evening for n light summer cent he had
not worn for some time, to find It
gone.
"Oh, yes, 1 remember," spoke Arllne
quickly. "I gave It away, dear. One
sleeve was torn and patched and I de
cided It wasn't good enough for you."
Melvln said no more, lull he looked
pretty serious. He recalled having left
some pa)ers In the pocket of the old
coat. They were of no particular
riilue to an outsider, but they referred
lo some private business mutters of his
own which hud caused htm a good deal
of anxiety.
"Who was the mini you guve the
cont to?" Inquired Melvln, controlling
the feelings that were surging within
him and endeavoring to speak cas
ually. "Oh, I suppose be was n tramp," re
plied Arllue, "but he acted real re
spectable and polite. He suld he was
trumping through the vllluge. nod, as
hai had lived here once, many years
ago, It seemed good to see the old
town. He said he was quite rich ones),
and owned property here, but had lost
everything through drink, although he
had given that up now."
"They all say that," observed Mel
vln. He made some Inquiries the next
day os to the tramp, for he would
have liked to recover the papers, and
I hen forget the circumstance.
The documents In question consti
tuted some letters and the written
opinion of an attorney as to the title
to Wellington Heights. That was a
large tract of fertile farmland which
had been willed to Melvln by his uncle.
When he married, Melvln planned to
sell the place and employ new capital
In his business and build for them
selves a more pretentious home.
He met with severe disappointment.
It seemed that his uncle had purchased
the property from an estate and had
taken the deed to it minus the signa
ture of one heir, who could not be lo
cated. This heir was one Jasper Kings
ley. His Interest In the estate was
ridiculously small, but the lack of his
signature clouded the title to Welling
ton Heights, und no one would buy or
loan on the property on that account.
"Oh, Melvln ! who do you think
turned up ngaln today?" Inquired Ar
llne a week later, as Melvln returned
from the village.
"I can't guess," said Melvln.
"The tramp I gave your coat to."
"After another one I" suggested Mel
vln In an acrid tone.
"Not nt all. He was very anxious
to see you. He left these papers, which
he found In the eo,-. He said he had
discovered and read them, and that
they Interested him, and that he must
see you to expluln about something Im
portant." "As what, for instance?" questioned
Melvln skeptically.
"He wouldn't say. He'll be here
again about seven o'clock," he said.
"Humph I to ask n reward for re
turning the papers, I'll warrant!" de
clared Melvln.
There was a ring nt the front door
hell Just as husband and wife had fin
ished their evening meal. Melvln an
swered the summons to greet the
trump Arllne had told him about.
"This Is Mr. Wnlte?" InquUed hid
visitor.
"Yes, what Is It?" asked Melvln,
rather crisply.
"I brought back some papers."
"I know you did."
"I happened to read them lucky for
you! It seems that you are troubled
about u cloud on the title of Welling
ton Heights. To clear It a quit-claim
deed from Jasper Klngsley Is neces
sary." "That Is true," answered Melvln.
"Well, I'm Jasper Klngsley, and your
sweet little wife treated me so cleverly
I tramped It back here ten miles to
sign the deed." .
"I've made arrangements with Jas
per to hire him around the new home
we're going to build," Melvln advised
his wife a few days later, "and I have
provided for him handsomely outside
of that. I shall never try to curb un
Impulse of your kindly heart, Arllne,
dear, for your charity In giving away
that old coat has mended all our fortunes."
Lost Picture Found.
A long lost llnphael was recently
found In London. How It has been
brought to light Is one of the curiosi
ties of picture dealing. A few months
ago, a London picture denier bought
In a salesroom what was said to be a
copy of the picture lu the Ufflzi gal
lery of Florence, known ns Raphael's
"Madonna del Potzo" (the Madonna of
the Well). For n long time past this
Florence picture had been known to
be not actually by Raphael, but a copy
of a picture presumably lost. The Lon
don picture dealer sold his "copy of n
copy" for a modest sum to one of his
clients, a well-known and well-to-do
city merchant. It was sent to be
cleaned. Cleaning off of some appar
ently superfluous paint revealed the
existence of another picture under
neath and actually of the same sub
ject. When all the top picture was
taken off there was revealed a remark
able piece of work, which has been de
clared by many experts to be unmis
takably the work of Raphael himself
In fact, the picture from which the
Florence gallery painting may have
been copied.
Hit Prescription.
Ho had been out the night before,
during a Zeppelin raid. The shock to
his system was so great that he had
had to sit up with a friend and finish
two bottles of restorative, and start on
a third.
In the morning he naturally felt 111,
so he hied himself unto the man of
pills and potions.
One glance wus sufficient for the doc
tor to diagnose his case.
"Ah, yes I Any special symptom?"
"Yes, doctor. Every now and then I
come over so funny. Something In
side me keeps coming up and then set
tling down again."
"Ah, yes," replied the unsympathetic
brute. "I know what's the matter with
you. You've swallowed a lift. Here's
a bottle of my elevating tonic. That'll
hoist It right up through the skylight.
Half a guinea, please. Thank you."

additional needs of this country result
ing from military participation In the
war.
Food In Great Quantities.
Regular rations of Uncle Sam's sol
diers call for a list of 49 Items. In
it are more than 29,600,000 pounds of
coffee, four kinds of tea, and over 23,
000 tons of granulated sugar; over
866,000 gallons of cucumber pickles;
over 8,800,000 cans of black pepper and
cinnamon, cloves, ginger and nutmeg,
totaling 372,000 cans; over 480,700,000
pounds of potatoes; over 55,200,000
pounds of onions; over 800,000,000
pounds of flour, besides bard bread;
nearly 1,000,000 gallons of cane sirup ;
lemon and vanilla flavoring extracts;
over 8,200,000 pounds of lard, and over
7,800,000 pounds of butter ; canned and
dried fish, canned vegetables, evap
orated apples and peaches, etc.
The variety of fare possible In
regular rations Is Increased by a list of
Items for sale to soldiers at cost. The
sale list totals 165 Items, largely food
stuffs, but Including also shaving mugs,
pencils, pins, pens, shoe polish, letter
paper (22,320 quires), 48,860 pipes, 22,
820 razors, toilet articles (among which
are 148,800 cans of talcum powder and
3,720 bottles of toilet water), 11,160
spools of thread, etc.
The foodstuffs in the sale list In
clude canned mushrooms, a variety of
canned fruits, vegetables, fish and
meats, pickles, maple sirup, ginger ale,
sauces, sausage, 305,000 pints of ef
fervescent water, etc.
Regular articles of clothing are 29 In
number. These are figured on Initial
requirements and upkeep for the first
nine months. Here are a few of the
Items: Belts, 2,000,000; coats, cotton,
2,400,000; coats, woolen, 1,270,000;
service hats, 1,825,000; shoe laces,
7,200,000; overcoats, 1,675,000.
Equipage Include 90 articles. Among
them are 180,500 axes, 8,450,000 blank
ets, 23,000 bugles, 1,000,000 cots, 1,440,
250 tents of seven kinds, over 1,000,000
gross of buttons, 39,000,000 yards of
cotton cloth, etc.
Estimating quantities needed Is only
a step In the task of supplying an
army. Things must be bought quality
tested, contracts made, prices deter
mined, delivery and then come the
problems of transportations, storage
and distribution.
This shows a part of the country
great war work, on which thousands of
people are dally working.
LITTLE SALT IS IMPORTED
Practically All of 45,720,860 Barrels
Consumed In Country In 1916 Pro
duced at Home.
The domestic consumption of salt In
1918 was 45,720,860 barrels of 280
pounds each, an Increase of more
than 7,000,000 barrels over the con
sumption of 1015. According to statis
tics compiled under the direction of R.
W. Stone of Uncle Sam's geological
survey, the domestic production of salt
In 1916 was 45,449,329 barrels, the im
ports were 871,992 barrels, and the ex
ports 600,461 barrels. This was an
Increase of 15 per cent In the quan
tity produced. The total value of the
Bait was 13,645,947.
Michigan, as usual, was the largest
producer, and New York was a close
second, The production, In barrels, by
the leading states .was as follows:
Michigan, 14,918,278; New York, 14,
087,750 ; Ohio, 0,706,193 ; Kansas, 4,564,
798; California, 1,124,236.
Perhaps the most marked feature In
the salt industry In 1916 was the great
Increase In quantity of brine sold as
such or used by chemical works, the In
crease being 87 per cent and the total
production over 18,000,000 barrels. The
production of rock salt Increased over
17 per cent and amounted to 9,973,950
barrels, valued nt $2,605,270. On the
other hand, the production of evapo
rated salt increased only 5 per cent,
to 17,575,020 barrels, but the value
was $10,140,412, an Increase of nearly
15 per cent.
Markets for Farm Machinery.
That the steady development of the
agricultural resources of Chile and
Peru means u growing market for
American farm machinery, Is the con
clusion reached In a report made pub
lic by Uncle Sam's bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce.
In several agricultural-equipment
lines the Chilean market Is full of pos
sibilities, states the report. The coun
try is certain to expand, but the devel
opment will be slower than In Argen
tina because Chile Is not receiving a
large Immigrant population that takes
to agriculture. Peru offers a much
more restricted market for such sup
plies than Argentina, Brazil and Chile,
and the chances for Improvement la
the near future are not bright
POULTRY MANURE IN GARDEN
Mixed With Equal Amount of Dry
Earth and Spread Broadcast Will
Prove Beneficial.
A common way of using hen manure
for garden purposes la to mix It with
an equal amount of dry earth, crush
It, and then spread It by hand. The
amount necessary, of course, depends
upon the condition of the garden soil.
A liberal application spread broad
cast, however, will be beneficial In
most all cases.
Usually the dust Is applied on the
dropping boards In the coop, as it
helps to keep the coop sanitary, and
absorbs the moisture, also prevents
the nitrogen In the manure from es
caping. For a complete fertilizer containing
hen manure, the following is good:
Four hundred pounds of hen manure,
200 pounds of dissolved bone, 100
pounds muriate of potash, 150 pounds
of plaster and 100 pounds of nitrate
of soda.
At present you would probably have
some difficulty In getting the muriate
of potash and nitrate of soda, and
therefore 800 pounds of dissolved bone
and 150 pounds of plaster added to the
manure would be the best combina
tion under present circumstances.
FIXING VALUE OF SKIM MILK
Result Given of Experiments Made by
Dean Henry at Wisconsin Ex
periment Station.
Dean W. A. Henry, who for many
years was In charge of the feeding ex
periments at the Wisconsin station,
concluded after a great many experi
ments that when corn Is worth 50 cents
per bushel the value of skim milk is
87 cents per hundred pounds, and
when corn Is worth 84 cents per bush
el, skim milk is worth 46 cents per
hundred.
Gov. W. D. Hoard, for many years a
leading dairyman In Wisconsin, sug
gested the following rule for finding
the money value, of skim milk : "Mul
tiply the market value of live hogs in
cents per pound by five when skim
milk Is fed alone, but when fed with
corn or barley, multiply the price by
six." This gives the money value of
skim milk per hundred pounds.
The Ourler rule is thut skim milk Is
worth half as much per hundred
pounds as corn Is worth per bushel.
Dollar corn would therefore mean 50
cents ns the price for skim milk.
HANDY TRANSFER AND OILER
Tilting of Door of Device Causes Oil
or Disinfectant to Run on
Back of Hog.
The door of this transfer has a can
of oil or disinfectant on the upper side
and a layer of felt on the lower side.
Hog Otlaf
Transfer and Oiler.
When the door la tilted the oil or dis
infectant flows from an opening, near
the upper end of the can, to the felt

hog that passes through.
TREATMENT FOR ACID SOILS
Ground Limestone, Air-Slaked, Water
Slaked or Lump Lime Can Be
Used Successfully.
Lime Is the one remedy used for
acid soils, and It Is very easily applied.
Ground limestone, alr-slaked llnre, or
water-slaked lime, or lump lime can
be used. A peck of quicklime will be
about right for a square rod of gar
den, and double the amount of slaked
lime or ground limestone will give
about the same results. The ground
stone or the slaked lime can be scat
tered easily, but the quicklime will
have to be piled in small plies and
allowed to slake before It can be dis
tributed. In slaking with water do
not use much, Just enough so the
stone will slake quickly and will make
a dry powder when through.
DUST BLANKET SAVES WATER
Evaporation Can Be Prevented by Cul
tivating, Raking and Hoeing,
Thus Forming Mulch.
Saving soli water Is better than
pouring it on by the barrel after It
has been wasted by evaporation. This
saving Is made by cultivating, hoe
ing and raking the surface soil till
It Is fine. A fine dust blanket Is spread
over the garden In this way and the
soli water kept from evaporating.
Crusting and baking and cracking al
lows the water to escape into the
air.
HEN CONFINED WITH CHICKS
Not Considered Good Management to
Allow Unrestricted Range for
First Few Weeks.
It Is not good poultry management
to allow the mother hen to range un
restricted with her chicks the first
weeks. With such freedom the hen
frequently takes her brood through
wet grass, and as a result some are
chilled and die, especially the weaker
ones, which are likely to be left behind.
ANCQNA LAYS LARGEST EGGS
Popular Belief That Bulky Fowls Lay
Large Eggs Is Disproved by
Weight Test.
The popular belief that the larger
birds lay large eggs has been dis
proved In tests. Where all eggs were
weighed, It was found, that the An
cona, which Is smaller than the Leg
torn, laid the largest egg of all breed
WOULD RAISE RABBITS
Uncle Sam's Food Experts Advo
cate New Industry.
Greater Production Would Reduce
Drain on Ordinary Supply of Coun
try, It Is Urged.
Babbits, which have proved a valu
able source of food In Europe during
the present war, may well be raised
more extensively in America by way
of reducing the drain on the ordinary
meat supply, according to biologists of
Uncle Sam's department of agriculture.
The business of growing rabbits, the
specialists point out, can be carried on
by youths and adults not engaged In
military or other national service, or
in regular industrial employment. The
animals may be raised in back yards
of cities and towns as well as on
farms.
The Belgian hare, says a statement
by the United States department of
agriculture, breeds rapidly, matures
quickly, and produces a palatable and
highly nutritious meat. The cost of pro
duction Is less than that of any other
meat, not excepting poultry. The sup
ply can be greatly increased within a
few months without requiring space
that may be needed for the production
of crops. Practical experience has
demonstrated that rabbit meat can be
produced In unlimited quantities at a
cost of about six cents a pound; and
by utilizing lawn cuttings and other
vegetation that would otherwise be
wasted, the cost can be made even
lower.
The Belgian and Flemish giant rab
bits are recommended for meat produc
tion, as the ordinary tame rabbit Is
smaller and develops more slowly.
Stock of Belgian hares may be bought
from breeders In nearly all the states
at $1 to $8 each. They may occasion
ally be had from pet stock dealers.
Fancy pedigreed stock is not required
for meat production.
Babbits are easily kept. They eat
hay, grass, lawn cuttings, and green
vegetation of many kinds. Females
should be allowed to breed when eight
or ten months old, and during the year
should raise four litters of about six
young each. ' Well fed, the young reach
marketable size when three to four
months old, and average from Ave to
six pounds live weight.

IS MONUMENT TO EXPLORERS
National Reservation Created to Com
memorate First Visit by White
Men to Great Northwest.
Upon the recommendation of Secre
tary of the Interior Lane President
Wilson has created by proclamation
the Verendrye National Monument
near Sanlth, North Dakota. This res
ervatlon, which embraces two hundred
and fifty acres, surrounds a lofty emi
nence locally known as Crowhlgh Butte,
the second In height In North Da
kota to the well-known Sentinel Butte.
It rises from the left bank of the Mis
souri river at Old Crossing, one of the
most Important fords of the Missouri
over which hunters, trappers and ex
plorers have passed from the earliest
times.
The significance of this monument Is
that It marks the first recorded visit
of white men to the vast territory
which Includes North Dakota. Veren
drye, the celebrated French explorer,
starting from the north shore of Lake
Superior, passed westward and south
westward Into the unknown regions of
the great plains and Bocky Mountains
about 1740. The records of the jour
neys made by him and his two sons
are the subject of conflicting Interpre
tations, but there Is no question that
the Verendrye party was the first to
enter North Dakota and to look upon
the Missouri at this point. This was
the bntte from which they gazed Into
the unknown lands west and south
and they were the first white men to
cross the Missouri at the ford which
afterward became the highway of ex
ploration and early trade. This was
sixty years before the Lewis and Clark
expedition.
The creation of the Verendryo Na
tional Monument follows the historical
precedent set by the creation of the
Cabrlllo National Monument at the
spot where the Spanish navigator Ca
brlllo first sighted the coast of Cali
fornia In 1542, and of the Sleur de
Monts National Monument at the spot
where Champlaln first sighted the
coast of Maine In 1609.
Usea for Licorice Root,
Several thousands of tons of lic
orice root, which Is considered a pest
and worse than worthless by the na
tives generally, are annually gathered
In Turkey for exportation to America
for age In the manufacture of chewing
gum and smoking tobacco as well as
for flavoring confectionery and beer.

CORNS LIFT OUT
WITH FINGERS
You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says
this Cincinnati authority, because a
few drops of freezone applied directly
on a tender, aching corn or callus,
stops soreness at once and soon the
corn or hardened callus loosens so it
can be lifted out, root and all, with
out pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs
very little at any drug store, but will
positively take off every hard or soft
corn or callus. This should be tried,
as It is Inexpensive and la said not
to Irritate the surrounding skin.
If your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get a small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house. It Is
fine stuff and acts like a charm every
time.
Pacifism at Home.

neighbor and take what eggs and but

"But isn't that stealing."
"Certainly not. They are pacifists
and expect it." Life.
The Tested
Skin-treatment
If you want to experiment on your
skin, there are plenty of treatments
to experiment with. But if you want
something whose value has been
proven by years and years of success
ful use, if you want a treatment that
doctors prescribe constantly, that you
know contains nothing harsh or injur
ious, you will find It In Reslnol Oint
ment, aided by Reslnol Soap. Sold by
all druggists.
