IIAIK TONIC POPULAR
NORTH PLATTE DRINK
Confiscation of Incoming 'booze
from Choyenno an'd frequent arrests
of bootloggers has made the vendors
of liquor In North Platte wary as well
as weary of tholr vocation, and they
have popularized a drink thai not
only make a man crazy drunk but
has tho advantage of being obtainable
In tho city. The discovery of this new
drink was mado tho lnttor' part
of last week when A tailor who had
been In town fdr several weeks and
suspected of being a dope fiend, was
picked up by tho officers on the sus
picion that he had mado way with
some clothing belonging to ( other
people. When this individual was ar
ret) ted thore was found In his pockets
a quart bottlo of Fitch's hair tonfc
and a small bottlo of faco lotion. Up
on boing questioned ho said he had
purchused tho tonic and Iptlotr of tho
colored porter employed at the Land-
graf barber shop. Tho bottles were
returned to Mr. Landgraf and upon
investigation he found that about a
gallon of tho tonic, which is kept in
a keg, had disappeared. The porter
denied tho thoft, but his guilt wbb so
plain that he was promptly fired.
This hair ionic Is said to contain
about fifty porcent alcohol, and there
fore the drinker con amass an awful
Jag It Ira throat can stand the acid
I urn. The faco lotion is evidently
ur.ed as a "chaser."

Washington, D. C, Dec. 30, 1918.
Boforo tho war began tho United

about 35,000 to approximately 95,000.
rho forces In navy yards increased
from about 20,000 to moro than 100,-
000, nnd in Government ordnanco
plants from 10,000 to about 50,000.
During tho nineteen months of
Amorican participation in the conflict
tho United States Civil Service Com
mission, whoso duty it was to recrdlt
tho civil servlca to moot war needs,
examined almost a million persons,
moro than 400,000 of whom were ap

WHEN THE ANNAMITES FEAST
Their Camp Cooks' Prepare Meal
Which Are Unlike Any Served Up
to the Other Allies.
"During "nTdiiy of repose I took occn
slon to visit an'Annnmlte camp, writes
Le Roy Bnldridge In Asia Magazine.
A .bit of French lundsenpe has been
turned Into Annum. Here ono finds
neither "Adrian" barracks nor old
stone farmhouses with roofs of red
tile. Instead are tho pagodus of the
Orient; nrtlstlcnlly fashioned of trees,
bamboos, branches and straw. As wo
pass the kitchen wo see nt once that
the dejeuner being prepared Is not for
Frenchmen. Most prominent Is n ket
tle threo feet In diameter containing
rlco. Which is tho one thing a Pollu
cannot bo forced to ent! Before tho
cook clamps buck tho lid we notice
In tho center of tho whlto steaming
mass a bowl of onions for flavoring.
Squatted near by, the assistant cook
with his coutenu a broad-ended,
curved Chinese blade two feet In
length cliotis up ment Into Uttlo
pqunres ns he chants something with
nn nnnronrlnto rhythm tho while. A
driver comes for his meal. Tho cook
drops n Indleful of rice on ono side of
tho extended pinto nnd on tho other
n little cube of boiled meat nnd In tho
center a splnsh of snuce. Thpsnuco
is tho mystery. No Frencnmnn couiu
explulirlt to mo except In terms of
violent gesticulation. Then Instead of
taking out a "coutenu d'Apacho" ns
nil the rest of us do, nnd starting by
slicing off a hunk of dark nrmy bread
from the loaf which overy Pollu keeps
conccnled somowhoro nbout his per
son, our yellow comrade produces two
sure-enough chop sticks from nn in
ner pocket, nnd, sitting down on the
running bonrd of his truck, enters
upon that fascinating feat of dining
ngnlnst the lnws of gravity.

BAT AT HOME EVERYWHERE
Species of the Race Vary as Widely
as Their Habits Not Especially
Deadly to Mosquitoes.
As a group bnts are of world-wide
distribution except in the Inhospita
ble polar regions. They are rent mnni'
mals nnd present an extraordinary
variation In size, from tiny little crea
tures, almost ns, small and fragile ns
butterflies, to the huge fruit bats, with
n spread of wings like that of n wild
goose.
The heads of bnts are strangely
sculptured, some being smoothly con
toured and shaped like those of little
foxes; others appear like miniature
bulldogs; nnd still others have curious
cartilaginous nose-leaves pprlglit on
the muzzle. Some have the entire faco
molded into a hideous musk repulsive
to look upon.
Their habits uro equally vnrled to
meet special' conditions: Some are
eaters of fruit ulone; others feed sole
ly upon Insects, while others bite other
mammals, including man, fur the pur
pose of drinking tlio oozing blood, upon
which they subsist. All are nocturnal
but some appear late In the' afternoon
before the sun sets. Most snecies,
however, wait until the shades of
night have covered the earth.
Throughout the world the majority
of the species of bats feed upon In
sects, but there are many fruit ent
ors. The teeming insects und plant
life of the tropics afford a never-fall-
ln' fnnd Qtmiklv mill tha nantnt- nf
abundance of these animals is found
there. In some .localities between 20
nnd UO kinds of 'bats exist, with such
vast numbers of Individuals that tho
bat population far outnumbers all oth-'
or liitids of mammals combined.
And ulusl It is not true that bats

HAS DOUBLE STEERING WHEEL
Inventors Maklna Interesting Tests
With Vessel That Makes Use of a
Two-Blade Rudder.
Some interesting tests have been
made recently with a dual rudder, Il
lustrated in Popular Mechanics Maga
zine, In an attempt to demonstrate the
possibility of eliminating the revers
ing turbines of ships. The action Is
described as follows:
"for normal cruising the plates are
folded together. A double steering
wheel Is employed. When locked, tho
two members' turn ns one. At other
times, when the two wheels arc thrown
tn opposite directions, the leaves of
the rudder are adjusted to desired
angles., TJio equipmeut gives a boat a
bruke that is quick-acting; it enables
rcversement of direction with tho en
gine running full speed ahead, and
permits a craft to be turned In its
own length. The demonstration boat
Is uble to reverse direction from full
6pced ahead In nine seconds."
