AUSTRALIAN MEAT
British Agents Buying Enormous
Quantities of Beef and Mutton
for Soldiers.
SYDNEY, Australia, Feb. .13.—Or
ders have been received from Eng
land and France for an enormous
amount of meat to be shipped imme
diately to England. The orders for
beef and mutton are welcomed by the
dealers of Australia as the war has
interrupted shipments to Europe.
Stockmen from all parts of the
commonwealth have been enlisted by
the agents of the British government
to secure shipments as fast as pos
-slble and every available pound of
meat will be shipped from the coun
try during the next sixty days.
FORT ELECTRICIAN
INVENTS A VALVE
Device Which Prevents Liquids Drawn
From Barrels Becoming Con
taminated.
Peter Dundon, electrician at Fort
Liscum, is of an inventive turn of
mind and has invented an automatic
valve which he believes will serve
to gain him a substantial return for
the time he has spent in working out
the scheme.
The valve would be especially use
ful in handling any beverage that
must be drawn with gas, water or air
pressure such as beer, ale, cider,
wines, etc., that require a number of
feet of pipe from cooler or cellar to
where the beverage is drawn.
Mr. Dunden believes the valve
should be a great saver, especially
in parts of the country where the
season is hot; where malt beverages
are drawn with pressure through 25
to 50 feet of spiral coil or worm while
passing through black tin pipes the
liquids become very cool. When
changing taps from the empty to the
next barrel or package to be used or
tapped the air gets into the exposed
or open end and causes that part of
the liquid to become contaminated by
the bad air of the cellar or place
where the liquids are kept.
The automatic valve wnicn uunaen
has originated, and upon which he
has applied for patent, closes auto
matically when disconnected, pre
venting air from entering the tube
or pipe. When inserted in a new
barrel the air pressure automatically
opens the valve.
The valve also prevents the liquids
or gases from the barrels escaping
into the cellar. The device has been
tried out in a Valdez tap-room and has
been found to give entire satisfac
tion.

SECRET OF THE LOVE BIRD.
It May Ba Discovered In the Milk of
Human Kindness.
Everything else dwindles into insig
nificance when the love bird appears.
Affection, devotion, tenderness and
love burst gladly forth at her magic
touch. • * *
The road to happiness is attained
through the generous distribution of
the milk of human kindness.
Success, achievement, wealth, prom
inence, are only worth while when
shared by your friends. No matter
how large you can spell “success,” it
gives you little satisfaction if your ac
complishment is not sincerely enjoyed
by many. When surrounded by friends
and loved ones, if you are fortunate in
the acquisition of a generous disposi
tion and charming personality, what a
joy it is to be able to give them cheer,
comfort, pleasure and satisfaction!
Who does not feel better for the
“God bless you" from an old lady to
whom you have shown some trifling
kindly attention? Who is not thrilled
by the Joyous burking of his dog upon
returning home?
Fortunate are those who feel the
arms of children around their necks,
bear the baby’s laugh and see the won
derful mites toddling toward them,
happy and unafraid.
All these joys sink into insignificance
when the one and only one looks into
your eyes, tender, true, steadfast.
Words need not be spoken; nothing
else matters. Then, and not until then,
will you know the excess of happiness,
the full realization of love, and then
is the time to unite yourself stead
fastly to fidelity, magnanimous gen
erosity and open beartedness to all.
Unto us a child is born, * * • and his

SURGICAL SHOCK.
Only In a Vague Way Does Science
Know What Cauees It.
Shock Is still one of the great mys
teries of surgery. Many theories have
been put forward to explain Just what
It Is. Each of these has seemed at
tractive until Its Inherent defects were
discovered by experience.
In a lecture before the British Royal
College of Surgery Dr. A. Rendle
Short reviewed these successive theo
ries and described the experiments of
himself and others by which they
were disproved. But researches by
Dr. Crile of Cleveland, Professor Sher
rington of Englnnd and Dr. F. H.
Pike of Columbia university. New
York, seemed to him to offer at least
a clew to the real nature of shock.
Professor Short did not formulate a
definite theory, but suggested that sur
gical shock was due to an inhibiting
or paralyzing of the Important nuclei
in the region of the fourth ventricle
of the brain and perhaps in the cere
bellum. These are “continually send
ing impulses down the spinal cord,
maintaining its functional activity and
Increasing muscular tone.” The effect
of this paralysis is to cut off these im
pulses, whereupon the functions of
the spinal cord are grently reduced,
muscular tone is abolished, and as a
secondary result the blood pressure
may fall. The respiratory center and
perhaps also the vasomotor center
share In this Inhibition or paralysis.
“Death," said Dr. Short. “Is due to
the accumulation of blood in the great
veins,” so that the flow does not pro
vide a proper filling for the heart.—

Candid Criticism.
Mr. O. A. Storey, the well known
artist, once told an amusing story of
a family group he painted one year for
the Academy. The picture was accept
ed and was bung “on the line.” and he
arranged to escort the family to the
Academy to see how It looked. They
were all grouped round the picture,
each silently admiring bis or her own
portrait, when two other people drifted
up to have a look.
Suddenly Mr. Storey was appalled to
bear one of the newcomers say to his
companion, “What an exceedingly ugly
looking lot of people!”

“Thank you. Miss Lydia. I would es
teem It n great fnvor if you could inti
mate a preference.”
“Really, I couldn't Mr. Lavender
Kncb proof shows the prevailing fault.”
“And what fault is that. Miss Ly
dia?”

laud Plain Dealer.
A Political Situation.
“What are your views on tbe polit
ical situation?"
“When it conies to a political situa
tion," replied Farmer Corntassel. "you

master. He’s tbe only feller around
bere that ever bad one."—Washington
