Wireless “Weather” for Great Lakes.
A daily wireless weather bulletin for
the great lakes was inaugurated by the
United States weather bureau on
June 1 last. It is distributed broad
cast by the naval radio station at
Radio, Va., a few minutes after 10 p.
m., immediately after the bulletin for
the North Atlantic and Gulf of Mexi
co, which has now been sent out daily
for some months.
The new bulletin, which is for the
benefit, of marines on the lakes, gives
the weather conditions prevailing at
8 p. in. of the current day at Duluth,
Marquette, Sault St. Marie, Green
Bay, Chicago, Alpena, Detroit, Cleve
land and Buffalo, and a forecast of
wind and weather conditions for the
upper and lower lake regions for the
following 24 hours.

Something went wrong with the
mechanism of the elevator in an old
fashioned southern hotel, and the pas
sengers, six men, were imprisoned be
tween two floors for three hours. They
made themselves as comfortable as
they could while they waited. Each
one told his choicest story, and finally
some one suggested that they sing a
song to help pass the time away.
“You can sing, can’t you, Sam?”
said a salesman to the negro elevator
boy. “Just lead off with ‘Dixie,’ and
Vve will all join in.”
But Sam did not lead off, as expect
ed. “Ah can’t sing, boss,” he explained.
“ 'Deed Ah can’t. I know most men
of my color can sing, but I couldn’t

Russian Soldiers.
Many military experts have a pro
found admiration for the Russian sol
dier, whose very lack of imagination
and education makes him tenacious
and fearless, devoid of class ambitions
and sensitiveness. The Slav mind,
quick though it be to make plans and
estimates, is slow in interpreting them
into action and movement, so that the
average Russian moujik may be sent
to certain death or led to victory,
with equal lack of interest in the
event in which he is but an inanimate
pawn. Nevertheless, he is a fine fight
ing machine, and is well equipped.

WELL PERSON NOT AFFECTED
Residence in or Near Tuberculosis In
stitution Denied to Be Dangerous
to the Healthy.
Among the most significant opinions
expressed in a pamphlet on “The Ef
fect of Tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding
Property.” issued by the National As
sociation for the Study and Preven
tion of Tuberculosis, are those by five
of the largest life insurance companies
in the United States. TheBe com
panies were asked if residence in a
tuberculosis sanatorium by a healthy
individual was considered an adverse
factor in issuing insurance and also if
residence in the neighborhood of a
sanatorium constituted such an ad
verse factor. Two of the companies
answered the first question in the af
firmative and two in the negative, but
every one of them answered that resi
dence near a tuberculosis sanatorium
was not considered an adverse factor
in Issuing life insurance..
Dr. Edward L. Trudeau, who built
the first tuberculosis sanatorium in
the United States in 1885, says:
“When I bought the first land on
which the Adirondack Cottage sani
torium is built, I paid $25 an acre for
it, but the price was then thought ab
surdly high. My last purchase of five
acres cost me $5,000. To my knowl
edge, there has never been an em
ploye who came to the sanatorium in
sound health who developed tubercu
losis while there; and a sanatorium
can no more endanger the health of
the neighborhood in which it is built,
even if the residences are at its very
gates, than it could if it were placed
on top of a high mountain miles away
from habitation.”

WHEN WAR BELLS
TOLLED IN FRANCE
An American, who was in a small
French village near Paris when the
call lor mobilization came, desctibes
the historic event in a letter to the
New York Evening Post. The possi
bilities of war had been discussed tor
several days. Then came the call
to arms.
We were about to drink a cup of tea
in the garden when the village church
bell began to toll a quick, nervous
alarm. The most dramatic moment
had come. Everyone about knew what
it meant except ourselves, poor, ig
norant foreigners! It was the tocsin!
In America the trains in a great rail
road system are sometimes halted out
of respect for the passing beyond of
some great political or commercial
chief. Everything in our busy life Is
at a standstill, if for only five minutes.
Somewhat similar, but Infinitely more
tragic, was the scene I now witnessed.
The French among our companions
knew the full significance of that toc
sin. Instinctively we gathered together
almost without a word. The air sud
denly grew heavy. Men and women
looked in each other’s faces and their
eyes filled.
All Knew the Meaninq
I looked at my watch. It was 4:50
o’clock. The bell continued to ring In
the belfry of the old Twelfth century
church nearby. It rang for 15 min
utes. As wives threw their arms about
their husbands, as children, wondering,
clung to their parents, it was easy for
us to understand what the bell meant.
It was the mobilization generale of all
France, the order for which had been
posted in Paris barracks exactly at
4:19. and had been telegraphed to every
postoffice In the country. No time had
been lost.
No sooner had the bell ceased than
a drum beat was heard at a neighbor
ing street corner. We all rushed out
to hear the news. A crowd had
gathered to hear the garde champetre
read the official dispatch from the war
office. He was accompanied by his 10
year-old boy. who served as drummer.
Putting on his glasses and assuming
his most official pose, he read the dis
patch. and then proceeded to another
post of vantage to read it again. It
was primitive, old fashioned, if you
will, but intensely Impressive. It drew
us all together in sympathy as we
shook hands with some of our ac
quaintances and tried to tell them what
we. too felt in this moment of grief
and possible calamity.
Road Thronqed With Reservists.
According to the order, the mobiliza
tion was to begin on the following day.
At dawn on Sunday the youngest re
servists began to leave. Family ties
began to break as old fathers and
mothers put their sons in the motor
bus for Trouville. Young fathers bade
farewell to their wives and babies.
The paralysis of the national business
had begun in earnest as the workers
dropped their tools, their trades, their
fishing and responded to the call to
arms. All reservists who served as far
back as 1887 are subject to call. The
younger men go first, have already
gone. The older men will all be gone
in a few days to the frontier or to the
concentration camps.
Sunday morning the highroad be
tween Honfleur and Trouville presented
an animated scene. Files of requisi
tioned horses were led by; private
automobiles and public vehicles shot
past, crowded to capacity on their way
to distant stations. The local inhabi
tants were waiting at 9:30 for the Paris
papers. Presently, at the top of the
high hill which slopes down to this
village, appeared the bicyclist colport
eux of He Petit Journal, followed in a
moment by him of He Matin. Each
tossed off a bundle of 100 copies from
his basket and continued bis furious
pace toward Honfleur to spread the
news. Yes, the expected has happened.
Wo learn it as wo fight in tho crowd
to get possession of a sheet. H'AUema
gno declare la Guerre a la Russia! That
is a headline which is worth keeping
as a historical document. Alongside (if
this column on the front page is tla
tex t of the order wo henrd the even
ing before, and M. Poincare’s dignified
and Impressive appeal to tile patriot
ism of the French nation m the pres
ent crisis.
A Solemn Church Service.
At 11:30. prompted by a natural de
sire to associate In the interests of the
townspeople. I attended the men’s mass
in tho church. Many of those who were
Ibout to depart for tho army or the
fleet were seated in the etiotr. How
they sang in French those patriotic
cantiques with which heroism and tho
spirit of self sacrifice are stirred! Tho
cure addressed his remarks for a few
minutes directly to the defenders of the
fatherland. Jeanne d’Arc was recalled.
The war of 1870 was mentioned. Yet
there was no blatant chauvinism In tho
address from tho altar steps. It was
straight patriotism, supported by
Christian faith. Some tears wero shed,
but the concluding hymn was sung
clear and loud, like a pean of moral
victory. There wero scenes at the
c hurch and In the streets which I shall
not forgot. It would have been easy to
use a camera and publish tho result of
a snapshot. But there are moments
when a sense of delicacy Is uppermost
Vulgar curiosity is shamed by heart
felt grief. It is better to trust to mero
words as more human than mechanics.
“Flock And Swarm" Action In War
From the National Magazine.
It was 1870 before we began to view
a battle and not talk wholly of the
commanders. We knew that Baaaine
led tho French army at Metz and Mc
Mahon tho French army at Sedan; but
lust who commanded the Germans wo
did not seem to know or care. There
was always a group of four—the king
of Prussia, his son, “Unser Fritz,” a
bearded giant. Bismarck, a giant, and
Von Moltke. It seemed to be war by
a committee. Germans were offered in
prodigious numbers to be killed; the
killers fell behind In the butchery; the
hill was taken: the battle (either at
Gracalotte or at Sedan) was practical
ly settled in favor of the Germans. We
recognized Grant's “style.” Sherman
had been severely condemned fpr the
same method (when It failed) at Vicks
burg and Kenesaw Mountain. In this
annee terrible of 1914—now—we think
we may espy the extension of this idea
of flock and swarm action. Thera Is
no Napoleon—no room for a Napoleon.
Tho regiments move stolidly before the
the talus and are mowed down, regi
ment after regiment. If the killers in
the works fall behind In their killing
they are lost—their country Is lost, and
they must pretend to a belief in the
religion of the soldiers they failed to
kill.
The "Curved Ball."
Now, boys, would you like to know
the history of that "curved ball"—the
fascinating wizardy that has made the
ball game so Intensely Interesting?
Wall, when I was traveling In Mis
souri—the state where folks have to be
shown—I came across Dr. C. E. Still,
the man who originated the "curved
ball.” He was a student In the normal,
back In the ’80s, and the professor of
physics had discussed with the young
lads of tho school the possibility of a
ball going any other way than straight.
Young Charles Still had discovered
what he could do with a billiard ball
and asked that he might show the pro
fessor that It could take a curved di
rection. Tho professor stood up, the
ball curved all right and hit him in
the eye. The next morning, with a
colored optic, he confessed that he
knew now that a ball could be thrown
in a curve.
This was In Itirksvllle, the home of
osteopathy, and from the evidence pro
duced in this event back in 1883, Dr.
Charles E. Still enjoys tho distinction
of having pitched tho first "curve ball"
thrown in the United States.
On the Verge of Panic.
John Gorgan, In the National Magazine.
The lower streets of New York were
crowded with hurrying people. The
big war stories In the newspapers
overshadowed the references to Wall
street, and only those on the inside
knew the real state of affairs. Down
on Broad street a curious throng gath
ered around the closed stock exchange
to read the bulletins. The curb market
was still stamping Us feet in open
street, waiting for action on the part
of its board of governors. There sud
denly appeared on the steps of a res
taurant facing the street a man pound
ing a Chinese dinner gong to attract
attention. From all sides, up and down
the streets and out of the buildings,
came running halloas and coastless in
dividuals, and as if by magic a great
seething throng faced the speaker, who
announced the closing of the curb mar.
keL "Thank God for that, now I'll get
some sleep”—a wave of relief spread
over the faces of the Lhreng and each
echoed tho sentiments of the other. It
had been a Irying time—but the integ
rity of American business had been
nreserved.

Save the Babies.
INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that
of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent.,
or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven
per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before
they arc fifteen I
We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save m
majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many
of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations.
Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain
more or less opium or morphino. They are, In considerable quantities,
deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead
to congestions, sickness, death. 'Castoria operates einctly the reverse, but
you must see that it bears the signature of Clias. H. Fletcher. Castoria

HAVE A GOOD HOUSE CELLAR
By F. L. RISLEY.
In leisure hours at this season of
the year when days are wet outside
and work holds up somewhat it is a
good time to thoroughly clear out and
make improvements In the cellar, the
most essential part of the house.
Do it now while clear of everything,
as it soon is to bo the general store
away place for another long term.
A real good house cellar is rare.
Some are scarcely anything but “dug
outs” and right beneath the living part
of the house—kitchen, sitting room or
bedrooms—which receive the steamy
evaporation of a mass of vegetables.
For health a cellar ought to be uni
form. It may be too hot, too cold,
or wind comes in through broken win
dow panes, or else they are not tightly
fitted.
If a cellar smells of mold, look
around for the place. You will find
the cause in vegetable bins. They are
anything but clean and yet the milk
is set in many cellars—a bad practice.
Decaying turnips, cabbage and
onions flavor apples and the butter
grows rancid.
One of the great causes of waste is
lack of ventilation or a daily change
of air.
Open the outer door in warm weath
er early in the morning or after sun
down for an hour or two.
Make a perfectly clean, cool, dry and
sanitary cellar a good distance from
the heating appliances and where
severe freezes will not cause bursting
pipes to flood the stored articles.
All disadvantages leave the farmer
full of vexations and disappointments,
and what is more and worse yet, they
sadly affect the health of the family.
PIMPLES RUINED COMPLEXION
724 E. N. Ave., OIney, 111.—"When
my trouble first began I noticed little
pimples coming on my face. Thoy
itched and burned so badly that I had
to scratch them and that only made
*hem worse. About a week later my
face was so badly covered with
pimples and blackheads that I was
ashamed. My complexion was ruined.
The pimples would sometimes bleed
and fester.
"I bought a box of complexion cream
and used it but without effect. One
day I heard of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and I decided to give them
a trial. So I got a cake of Cuticura
Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment,
