PRATICCALLY CONQUORED.
It takes Americans to “show the
world" how to do things; we have
only been at war a few weeks, and
American brains have practically
conquered the German submarines
already. Before the war com
menced the steamship companies
of the world had practically made
these ocean liners into floating pal
aces, so when Germany submarined
a great ocean liner, something like
3 to 9 million dollars went to the
bottom of the ocean. We are now
going to build wooden ships, just
as cheaply as they can be built so
as to carry the necessary cargoes.
Within about three months the first
of these ships will be launched, and
after that they will be completed
at the rate of about three a day, so
that when Germany sinks one of
these instead of sinking six million
dollars she will sink about 60 to
90 thousand dollars, so where our
losses would have been one dollar
before, we will not only loose in
proportion one or two cents. The
suggestion of this simple solution
was made to the government some
weeks ago by two engineers at
practically the same time. F. A.
Eustace of Bcston, a mining en
gineer, and F. A. Clark of New
York was the other party. That
suggestion is worth a billion dollars
to humanity.
LAID PRESIDENT’S SPEECH.
Former Premier Luzzati and 67
other Italians deputies at Rome
sent to President Wilson the fol
lowing address relative to his mes
sage asking congress for a declara
tion of war against Germany:
"Your message with its ideal
beauty and its political contents,
brings us back to that dawn of civi
lization when the United States,
inspired by Washington, gave to
the oppressed peoples of Europe
and of the two Americas the fruit
ful example of their redemption.
Your message is not addressed to
United States alone, but to all hu
manity, and awakens noblest in
stincts among free nations. Your
message is the hymn of freedom.
Italy, whn by toilsome slavery,
learned tc love a free and a nation
al government, and who, having
experienced the bitterness of evil
"governments, longs for the libera
tion of all peoples groaning under
despotic rulers, thanks you and ac
claims the great republic of the
United States.”
England’s nominal monarchy is
conducted so strictly on lines of
popular government that there is
no inconsistency in her partnership
in a war waged in behalf of true
democracy as a world influence.

While the pupils of the Huttig
high school who represented it in
the Southwestern Arkansas school
contest at Camden last Friday, did
not win first or second place, all
received favorable mention and did
exceptionally well. Huttig has the
talant to win some cups and med
als next year if«the pupils will only
become interested and start train
ing for the contest when school
commences like they do in other
schools instead of waiting until a
few weeks before the date set for
the contest.

Bauxite In 1916.
The production of bauxite, the
ore of aluminum, in 1916 was
425.359 long tons, which had a
value of $2,293.825, an increase
of 43 per cent in quantity and 52
per cent*in value over 1915.
The production in Arkansas and
Tennessee was increased from
232,033 long tons in 1915 to
338.949 long tons in 1916. a gain
of 39 per cent. This increase can
be attributed to the great develop
ment of the well-known deposits in
Arkansas.
How Much Is a Billion?
We hear the word “billion" quite
frequently nowadays but most of
us havelittle idea of how much a
billion really is. If a railway train,
proceeding at the rate of a mile a
minute, had been started at the
dawn of the Christian area around
the earth on a straight track, says
the Los Angeles Times, its object
being to run 1,000,000,000 miles
without stopping, it would have
been necessary for that train to
circle the earth 40,000 times and
it would not have come to the end
of its journey until New Year’s eve
1 6 centuries after Christ was born.
According to these figures the lit
tle sum which congress has just
passed as a war fund if reckoned hn
minutes would carry us well into
the 1 1 2th century. •
Porpoise Oil.
The oil used in lubricating the
works in watches, clocks, chrono
meters, talking machines and deli
cate recording apparatus is ob
tained principally from the por
poise. The oil which is obtained
from the fish’s jaws is somewhat
meager in quantity; it sells whole
sale for about $25 a gallon. A
curious feature of porpoise oil is
that neither heat nor cold affects
its fluidity. It is non-oxidizing,
does not evaporate and never be
comes rancid. Owing to the large
demands for it, fishermen in this !
country are not able to supply all
that is needed here and large
quantities are imported from Eng
land.

HASTE
By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.
This is a great age for Haste. But
as some wise Head has stated, Haste
makes Waste.
Take time to
Do things well.
Huste in Eat
ing makes Waste
in Health. The
Stomach rebels
and refuses to
co-operate and
the whole hurnun
machine backs
up the Stomach.
And with im
paired Health,
there naturally
comes a slowing
down of the Natural and Usual speed
that always trots alongside Effort
wisely and economically spent.
Take time to Think things out.
A loss of Energy in ill Temper and
heated Words always means a loss of
Power at the source—in your Brain
and at the head offices of your Nerv
ous System. Haste while In a Tem
per or under circumstances' of Provo
cation is almost always regretted.
When the Brain is nil stirred up and
the whole Body up in arms—that’s the
time for Patience and Waiting—never
for Haste. The thing to do then is
to—
Take time to Cool off.
You never see a really big man go
ing about his work as though the world
was about to end. And yet the man
who tukes time and works his affairs
nut according to careful plans and sys
tem and then sticks to the program
would be ready for the ending of the
world at any time!
Take time to Work your very best.

Dethroning
King Potato
By DR. SAMUEL C. DIXON
Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania
The potato recently has heen the
most advertised vegetable we have.
Its consumption far exceeds any other
vegetable made up of a large propor
tion of starch. Let us consider the
claims of tlie potato to the high dignity
that lias suddenly been thrust upon it.
The human digestive system is lim
ited in its power to digest properly
large quantities of starch. Americans
have made general use of starchy
foods, and this practice is playing its
part in checking the natural growth
of our people, both in mind und in
body.
The excessive eating of potatoes, so
often taken at a meal simply as a mat
ter of habit when there are other
starchy foods and sugar in the meal
to supply the same want, causes u
catarrhal condition of the digestive
system, thereby preventing the normal
working of the glands of digestion.
Gradually a diseased condition of the
organs of digestion results and this
prevents nature’s process of preparing
food for assimilation. Consequently
the system has to absorb the waste
products and a gradual starvation and
poisoning is the result. The catarrhal
patient, in addition, gradually loses re
sistance to germ diseases.
From babyhood and childhood up,
we Americans indulge in nn excess of
starchy foods. A well-rounded diet de
mands starch along with meat and fat,
of course, but we indulge in an excess
of starch and the habit often continues
through adult life.
Raw potatoes contain about 80 per
cent of »water, and In skinning and
eying wre lose on an average about 10
per cent of the raw potato. The bak
ing of potatoes causes less loss and
produces the most wholesome prepara
tion for human consumption tliut can
be made of the vegetable.
What does this suggest with the po
tato in tiie limelight and its cost out of
all proportion to its real value? The
answer Is that its use can not only be
cut dowq. to a normal proportion.of the/
/
/
diet for those who like its taste, but
it can be entirely replaced by other
foodstuffs which would supply starch
in even greater quantities.
Potatoes have 18 parts to the 100
of starch and sugar (carbohydrates);
jellies and marmalades, GO to 00 parts;
^lice, 70; buckwheat and barley, 77;
hominy, 76; erneked wheat, 75; maca
roni and spaghetti, 74; raisins, 68;
oatmeal, G7; toast, GG; beans, 60;
bread, 50 to GO; chocolate, 30; canned
peas, 9; dried peas, 62.
In raisins the carbohydrates are
mostly of the soluble variety known as
sugars. In all the other foods men
tioned the carbohydrates present are
mainly starch.
With these things in mind, it Is not
hard to think of the potato being
knocked off its pedestal.

Wise and Otherwise.
Real success consists in
achieving satisfaction.
Some men have courage only
when they lose their tempers.
Fools throw kisses but the
wise men deliver them In per

Favors are seldom satisfac

Tallmadge, O., 106 years ago and was
educated in the school of Catherine
Beecher, the sister of Henry Ward
Beecher, and became a school teacher.
Later she began writing books and
tales and delivered many public lec
tures on literary and historical themes
and gave Shakespearean readings. She
was a friend of Carlyle, Hawthorne
and other eminent men, but her great

the first to put forth the theory that
Francis Bacon wns the real author
of Shakespeare’s works.
