LKT EUROPE EAT CORN
Mr. Hoover is surely in error when
he says that corn will be unacceptable
as a food to the starving Europeans.
He must be basing his opinion upon
what he saw in Belgium and in West
ern Europe (maize, as they call it
over .there) is a great staple in some
parts of Eastern Europe. It is eaten
in Italy and all up and down the Ad
riatic. It is not used finely ground, as
we are accustomed to have it, but it
is roughly pulverized, something like
samp or hominy; and it is well rel
ished. Mr. Hoover would have us use
more corn here in order to send more
wheat abroad. That is well enough—
but let us try sending corn abroad,
too. If the Europeans would rather
starve than to eat corn, it might be
a good thing to know that fact.

MISSING BONDS
ARE FINALLY LOCATED
LONDON, Sept. 18.—They have
found the missing bonds. At thp be
gfening of the war a British printing
plaht near Part was commandeered
by the French government for use as
a hospital. The firm left a number of
bonds not completely printed, In the
office safe. A wounded French soldier
stole them.
The French soldier was killed in
battle. A German soldier found the
bonds under the dead man's coat and
placed them under his own.
The German soldier was killed and
a French artillery sergeant found the
bonds. The sergeant sold them to a
comrade for a few francs. The com
rade presented them to his bank for
payment. The cashier paid him the
money. Later the bank discovered
the bonds were not numbered and
otherwise incomplete. They started
an investigation and their detectives
met the detectives of the printing
firm half way on their respective
trails, clearing up the mystery.
MOOSE BAND SERENADES
N I’M BEK Bl’SINESS HOl’SES
Last night the Moose Band seren
aded a number of the business houses
in the city rendering several selec
tions in Louie’s Cafe, The Pinzon, and
The Buffet. That the music was great
ly appreciated is evidenced by the
fact that Andy Marovlch, proprietor
of Louie's Cafe, donated a substantial
lunch to the members, and the other
business houses presented them with
cigars, •’Sandy” Levy also opened a
keg of fresh cider for the use of the
musicians. The band is developing in
to a splendid organization and is
worthy of the utmost support of our
citizens.
The boys wish to thank Mr. Maro
vich for his generous spread and the
others business houses for their gifts
of appreciation.
LITTLE GIRL MISSING;
MINER IS SOUGHT
TACOMA, Sept. 18.—Mamie Toro
ko, 10 years old, flaxen-haired liltle
daughter of a Carbonado widow, has
never returned from an errand on
which she was sent about 6 o’clock
Wednesday afternoon.
One hundred miners from the Car
bonado Coal company this afternoon
accompanied Sherif Robert Longmire,
his deputies and a bloodhound in an
exhaustive search through the woods
south of the town.
They are seeking traces of the child
and of an unnamed miner who sent
her on the errand and who is now
believed by the miners and residents
of Carbonado to have been responsi
ble for disappearance or death. ^
Mamie has added to the pitiful lit
tle support of her mother and six oth
er children by running errands for
the men of the camp.

HMD WORK WINS.
K la the Staff of Ufa an tha Hard Rand
t duoofao.
Sir Frederick Tjreves, a noted British
surgeon, ea|d recently that hard work
counts for Baorg titan brilliancy. If ha
bad to submit to k major operation, be
added, he would choose a careful, bard
worker rather than a brilliant surgeon.
These remarks hate excited some
controversy. But, after all, do they
contain any real disparagement of bril
liancy? Brilliancy, like genius. Is an
accident It Is born, not made. The
world would he n dull, flat plane Intel
lectually If It did not throw up bril
llunt people. Hurd work would never
have given us Shukespeare, Beethoven,
Gouts, Heine, Toe, Shelley.
But hurt! work Is the stuff of life. On
it we can count, on It we can rely.
Hard work collects data, asslmllutes
them, verities brilliant hypotheses, con
nects and completes truths received In
‘•Hushes.’’
wuen tbe brilliant man is also a nara
worker he conquers the world. But the
slow conquests of hard work by men of
talent and ability are by no means neg
ligible. We can train children to ap
preciate work and method, efficiency,
order and Industry. When they hap
pen to be brilliant into the bargain tbe
reward of bard work will be corre
spondingly greater.
Woe to them who expect brilliancy
alone to give them the success that is
worthy and enduring.—Chicago Herald.
VANITY AND SPECTACLES.
The Old Plea That Wearing Glaseee
Makee One Leek Aged.
One of the popular objections to
wearing glasses is that wearing glasses
makes one look old.
This was true In the days when they
were worn only to help poor sight and
chiefly by the elderly. Now a very
large percentage of wearers of specta
cles are children, and the wearing of
spectacles Is no longer a mark of ad
vanced age. It Is not a sufficient ex
cuse for a lady to say that glasses
would make her look old.
Moreover, wearing glasses Is one of
the best preservers of a youthful ap
pearance. This Is because prolonged
eye strain causes wrinkles to appear
prematurely and gives the countenance
a strained, anxious, tired, drawn, cro^s
look, which Is very characteristic and
is far more to tie avoided from the
point of view of appearance than the
slight disfigurement of glasses.
Indeed, so far from being unbecoming,
there are some types of face to which
glasses just add the finishing touch.—
Charles Phelps Cushing In World's
Work.
THa Way Not to Kaap Young.
Our Cousin Ena la only forty years
old, but she doesn’t look to be a day
under sixty. Worry' has been the
cause. She has worried almost con
stantly for fear she would look old
SDd that her husband wouldn't like
her. She has dieted herself In order to
remain young. She never eats as much
as she wants or the kind of food she
wants. She seems to think that pun
ishing herself in this manner will keep
off old age. And she sleeps with a view
of remaining young. She goes to bed
at 0 o'clock every afternoon, and she
remains in bed until 7 o’clock in the
morning. The remaining eleven hours
of the tweuty-four she spends in try
ing to rub youth and beauty into her
cheeks.—Claude Callan in Fort Worth
Star-Telegram.
Living on Calorics.
Tha cheapest eating In the world Is
rice and peanuts, measured by tbe cal
ories, wblch constitute the only real
test. There is no attention paid to the
value of food In practical living. Our
Sole guide is what hits our appetite.
Wq want what “we’d ruther,” as the
poor woman told Jane Addams. There
Is twice as much living in some kinds
of foods as in others, and yet we pass
up our plate perfectly unconcerned
whether it comes back, with 500 or
1,060 calories. That is one reason we
are poor.—Columbus (O.) Journal.
