Soldiers as a rule are plucky fellows
when wounded. This story is told of
one : .
He came In on a stretcher face
all bruised and swollen, eyes protrud
ing, all lull of mud and bits of stone.
There wasn't an Inch of his body with
out Its own bruise or cut.
He'd been standing in 0 muddy place
and a big olnis had plumped into the
ground just In front of him, and then,
from a couple of feet down, had gone
ulT and up. As he opened his eyes the
doctor said to him: "You must have
had a pretty rough passage."
He replied. "Nuthlng In It, sir

RABBIT SKIN FOR LEATHER
LIBERIA 13 REACHING OUT
Possibility That Tanning Process Hao
Been Discovered That Will
Solve Big Problem.
At present In Annonny, France, nn
earpest effort Is being made to Intro
duce rabbit skin leather In shoe mak
ing. Annonay Is In the valley of the
Ithone, just south of Lyons. It was
there, about 75 years ago, that a chem
ist devised n tanning process In which
the hnlr was removed from the pelt
of a rabbit without damage to the
skin. Previously no one had been able
to remove the hnlr without Injuring
the pelt.
The chemist had his process tried
out for a short time, but It did not
prove to he u commercial success and
the rnbblt-skln shoe came to be only
n memory. Less than ten years ago
some Germans got hold of the old
chemist's formula and began to manu
facture rnbbit leather.
At one of the Industrial expositions
In Oermuny In 11)0!) there wns a display
of 250 styles of shoes made of rabbit
skins. The exhibition won first prize
In the department of footwear. Now
the French have taken up the work of
the Old chemist of Annonay and are
mnaafacturlng shoes out of rabbit
pelts. f

Plenyono Qbe Wolo, a I. Iberian of

There aever has been u sclentifli

Is estimated at from 2,000.0011 to 8,01X1,'
00U, and not more than 15.000 are

liberated slaves. The remainder he-
long to tribes ivblcli speak four differ
ent languages and oiler only nominal
submission to the government. The
Krus elect their kings by the selection
of the must available man of the royal
house. In the Jarroway tribe the king
Is an uhsolutu monarch for the reign
of six years, and Is then put to death.
Other tribes also follow different cus
toms. '.lit tribes do uot acknowledge the
government of Monrovia, because they
feel that It dues not protect them. Ily

The constitution of Liberia lias a
literacy test, which lias heretofore ex
cluded most of the natives from vot
ing, as the central government is un
able to undertake their education. The
Glrbas are being taught by Lpiscopnl
missionaries, und the Fulingos, who
are Mohammedans, are also gaining
the franchise. The Krus are very am
bitious and are also catching up. There
are more than 50 Llberlaus of tile na

States.

"Tailors ought to be the most eager
of men to go to law."
"Why so?"
"Because they are always ready to

Among other things to remember In
estimating war gains Is this: America
got out of the war with the minimum
of damage and the maximum of glory
and International good will.

RED CROSS WOMEN
CITED FOR BRAVERY
SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption of sugar proves conclu
sively that their war conscience wns
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as a whole stood ready to fol
low the Injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar In
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 400,000 tons per month,
a total of 1.G00.000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach Its height, consumption
was reduced to liC.0,000 tons. In Au
gust only 325,000 tons went Into dis
tribution and In September only 270,
000 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 230,000 tons.
If the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of a sugar
fnmlne before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely Impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American die
Kew accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre
dominantly as this reduced consump
tion of sugar. By It we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were In sight
Now the nation Is in a position so
that If we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain Its recent re
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations nre to Increase their use of
sugar very considerably It must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump
tion. TESTING SUPPLY OF WATER

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.
Two little stories came to the Bed
Cross headquarters from over the seas
n snort time ago. One was a story of
iravery that brought the tears, and
one a tale of tear that brought smiles.
The first story was of a soldier who
asked for a light. He was In bed, and
a cigarette was between Ills lips, plac
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished, spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
anil gave him a box of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
nrms beneath the blankets were with
out bands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there were tears In her eyes as she
turned to strike the mutch and light
the cigarette for biiu.
Quit that," lie said, "they were good
mits, and they helped get three or four
Germans before I lost them, but they
ain't worth crying about, so there!"
And the tents story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story of a
big, husky, colored man, who sat read
ing, ami the Red Cross worker nt the
canteen snw that he had ears running
down his cheeks. She wns curlouji lo

saw that she was watching, and said,
sheepishly, "You sure must excuse me.

Peculiar Odors, Those of Earthy, or
Other Characters, Sometimes De
veloped by Heat.
(Prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
There are few tests for contamina
tion that the farmer can make, accord
ing to Farmers' Bulletin 941, "Water
Systems for Farm Homes." Peculiar
odors, those of earthy, musty, vegeta
ble, sulphurous, fishy or fecal charac
ter, sometimes are developed by shak
ing or by heat. Water may be tinted
green by vegetation or other shades by
wash from clays. Brown and yellow
tints nre Indicative of organic impur
ity and should be regarded with sus
picion. Organic matter is indicated
sometimes by the following simple
test: Add a very little clean, white,
granulated sugar to a half-pint of thii
water in a clear, stoppered bottle, and
allow it to stand In a warm room for n
few days or a week. Gradually in
creasing turbidity, a smoky clouding,
is evidence of impurity. Organic mat
ter in water may be indicated also by
heating any deposited sediment in a
small porcelain dish over nn alcohol
flame and noting if the deposit chars
and blackens.

Hew Do You Do?

Did you evre do a deal and then step off to one side to
look yourself and the deal over to see whether you got
the best of the other fellow or he got the best of you?
Why do people smile when you remark: "The Deal
is made, and each of us made a quarter,"
You are incredulous; because it is so universally the
intent and purpose of human nature to "do the other
fellow."
If we practice and mutually prefer to deal in such
manner that each party to the deal is bettered by the
transaction, the atmosphere would be more healthy
and agreeable and there would be less use Ar lawyers.

experimenting for some time with the
manufacture of gas from wheot straw,
has been able, by a gas bag attach
ment of 300 cubic feet capacity, to run
his motorcar with perfectly satisfac
tory result. It Is i itlmtited, says the
Saskatchewan Herald, that a ton of
straw will generate 11.000 to 12.000
cubjc feet of gas and that 300 cubic
feet of gas Is equal to a gallon of
gasoline, so that with this hitherto
waste product on his hands the farmer
will be able to run bis car.
