MONDAY AFTERNOON, FEB. 24,1919 LIBERIA IS REACHING OUT “Many months of cornrort at little J expense” is the way Charles A. Pear- eon of San Die^o. California, sums up his experience with I T “oiin Soles. Mr. Pearson had two pairs of shoes re soled with Neolin Soles, and after wearing them for twenty months writes “I will have to get new shoes sometime, but so far as the soles are concerned, that time seems as far distant as when they were new.” This is typical of the experience millions are having with Neolin Soles. Created by Science to be durable, flexible and waterproof, these soles are an important factor in cutting shoe expense. You can get them on new shoes for the whole family, and for re-soling. They are made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels— guaranteed to outwear all other heels. k>les Get the Habit of Drinking Hot Water Before Breakfast Say* we can’t look or feel right with the system full j of poisons. * Millions of folks bathe internally now ir stead of loading thei rsystem with drugs. “What’s an inside bath?’ you saly. Weil, it is guar anteed to p rform miracles if you could believe these hot water en r tbusiasts. There are vast numbers of ni e n atid women who imm.edia ely upon arising in the morning, drink a glass of real hot water with a, tea ‘spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is a v ry excellent health measure. It is intend'd to flush the stomach liver. ki< nev. anl the thir ty feet of intestines of the previous day s waslft. sour bile and indig Mi ble material left over in the body which if not eliminated every day, becomes food for the millions oi bacteria Which infest the bo\»els_ the quick result is poisons and tox ins which are then absorbed into the blood causing h ailache. billions attacks, foul breath. 1ml taste, col/’s stomadh troub e < kidney misery sleeplessness impure blocd and all sorts of ailment. People who fetl good one day and badly the next, but who simply can not get leeline right are urged to obtain o quarter pound of limestone phosphate at th? drug store. This will co r t very ibtle but is sufficient to make anyone a, real crunk on the subject of internal sanitation. Just as soap and ho' water act on the skin, clea'nsing sweetening and freshening, so limestone phosphate and. hot water act on the stomach Mver, kidneys *and towels. It if vastly more important to ba'he on the inside than on the outside be- caimc the skin pores do not aiisort impurities into the blood, while the bowel n-,res do.

Tribes of That Country, It Is Said, Ar« Accepting tho Teachings of tho Missionaries. Plenyono Gbe Wolo, a Liberian of the Kru tribe, who graduated from Co lumbia university, sayh: There never has been a scientific census of Liberia# but the population is estimated at from 2,000,000 to 3,000.- 000, and not more than 15.000 are Americo-Liherlans, the descendants of liberated slaves. The remainder be long to tribes which speak four differ ent languages aud offer only nominal submission to the government. The Krus elect their kings by the selection of the most available man cf the royal house. In the Jarroway tribe the king is an absolute monarch for the reign of six years, and is then put to death. Other tribes also follow different cus toms. Tbe tribes do not acknowledge' the government of Monrovia, because they feel that it does not protect them. By treaty the United States government is required to help tbe Americo-Llbe- rians against tbe tribes, and in 1912 this country helped put dowu a rebel lion of the Krus. Tbe constitution of Liberia has a literacy test, which lias heretofore ex cluded most of the natives from vot ing, as the central government is un able to undertake their education. The Girbas are being taught by Episcopal missionaries, and the Fulingos, who are Mohammedans, are also gaining the franchise. The Krus are very am bitious and are also catching up. There are more than 50 Liberians of the na tive tribes studying in the United States. OF THE EPIPHANY WHEN RAILROADS WERE NEW Engineers in Charge of Construction Work Had Ideas That Now Seem a Little Peculiar. Light on strange ideas of pioneer rullroajl builders was thrown by Ed ward S. Jouett, general solicitor of the L. & N., in a talk before the Ro tary club at Louisville. “The Lexington-Frankfort line,” said he, “was built with longitudinal Stone sills capped with a strip of iron, and the numerous curves, which you have all noted, are said to have been pur posely introduced upon the theory that they were an advantage in enabling the conductor the more easily to see the rear of his train. The coaches were two-story affairs—women anil children below and men above—and the motive power was mules to the top of the hill above Frankfort. The train was let down the hill into the city upon an incline operated by a stationary engine. “You may be interested, in passing, to learn that with the exception of a few miles near New Orleans, which antedated it about a week, ibis line from Lexington to Frankfort Is the oldest railroad In the United States south of the Ohio and west of the Alleghenies. It was chartered’ in 1830 —very early In railroad history, when we remember that the first railroad in the United States was built In 1820. and tbe first locomotive engine was operated in 1829.” Fair Eastern htar, thou art ordained to run Before the sages, to the rising sun, Here cease thy course, and wonder that the cloud Of this poor stable can thy Maker shroud; Te heavenly bodies glory to be bright. And are esteemed as ye are rich In light. But here on earth is taught a different way. Since under this low roof the Highest lay. Jerusalem erects her stately towers, Displays her windows and adorna her bowers; Yet there thou must not cast a trembling spark. Let Herod’s palace still continue dark; Each school and synagogue thy force re pels. There Pride enthroned In misty error dwells; The temple, where the priests maintain their choir. Shall taste no beam of thy celestial fire. While this weak cottage ail thy splendor takes; A joyful gate of every chink It makes. Here shines no golden roof, no ivory stair, No king exalted in a stately chair. Girt with attendants, or by heralds styled. ! But straw and hay emvrr'r> a speechless Child. Yet Sabiic’s lords before this Babe unfold Their treasures, offering Incense, myrrh and gold. The crib becomes an/altar; therefore dies No ox nor sheep; for in their fodder lies The Prince of Peace, who, thankful for his bed, Destroys those rites in which their blood was shed; / The quintessence of earth he takes, and fees. And precious gums distilled from weeping trees; Rich metals and sweet odors now declare The glorious blessings which his laws prepare. To clear us from the base and loathsome flood. Of sense, and make us fit for angels’ food, Who lift to God for us the holy smoke. Of fervent prayers with which we him In voke. And try our actions In the searching fire, i By whiclv the seraphims our lips Inspire; No muddy dross pure minerals shall In fect, We shall exhale our vapors up direct; No storms shall cross, or glittering lights deface Perpetual sighs which seek a happy place. —Sir John Beaumont. Indian Tribe Inhabiting ‘ Attu Island, Alaska, Said to Be the Poorest People Windswept Attu island, a bit of Alaska at the tip of tbe Aleutian string, farther west than any other part of North America, Is the home of a tribe of about 100 Aleut Indians, said to be the poorest people, financial ly, on earth. Nature, however, provides these far away Indians a living, From Attu and the nearby Islands and from the surrounding waters they get eggs, fish, geese, seals, occasionally a walrus, berries, and, lately, blue fox. From the far south Pacific the Japan current brings fuel. Driftwood thought to be from the Philippine islands, Hawaii and other southern lands Is scattered along Attu’a beaches. NO trees grow-on the island. For clothes the natives use goods brought from the outside world by oc casional traders. Those lacking in the cloth of the whites make their gar ments from grass and skins. Like the Indian tribes of old, a na tive chief leads these Aleuts and acts as their head in all matters, trading, hunting, fishing, as well as In the coun cils of the tribe, and in the Russian services to which the natives still ad here. Russians first settled on the Island in 1747, when they sailed west of the Commodore islands, off Kamchatka, and established an important trading post on Attu. The Russians planted herds of cattle and goats, but in a few years both the Russians and their stock left for other parts. Health and Height Count. Every flying man in the United States air service has to undergo a strict medical test* periodically In or der that he may be classified in one of four grades. “AA” men are the few who can stand air work at altitudes above 20.000 feet. “A” men can stand the strain between 15.000 and 20,000 feet, while the “B” class consists of pilots for duties between 8,000 and 15,000 feet, and the “C" group Includes all airmen fit only for service between ground level and 8,000 feet. It has been found that airmen of most robust physique cannot stand the sudden changes of air pressure pntailed by diving and rapid climbing for any lengtli of time. Hence the frequent medical examinations, carried out by experts who have drawn up a care fully calculated standard of efficiency. Gold Placers Throughout Eastern Siberia Are Rich; Can Be Worked With Ease From time immemorial Siberia has been known to Russians as the “Gold en Bottom,” and this not without a reason. The great gold placers scattered throughout eastern Siberia tempted and attracted enterprising individuals for many centuries, through their rich ness and tlie ease with which they co'uld be worked. Only the severity of the climate and lack of adequate transportation together wtih Indifference on the pari of the government prevented the Si berian gold fields from becoming tin greatest in the world. Alluvial gold was first found in the Province of Eniseisk in 1830. After wards gold was discovered in greai amounts throughout the whole prov ince. The gold is found in many cases in the sand of rivers and smaU streams. ’ ’ The geological formation of thes< deposits varies, but in many cases shows predomination of slate rocks The thickness of gold-bearing strata varies in places from 14 feet to 21 feet, and their extent from live-tenths to 35 miles. The proportion of gold is also dif ferent, according to the depth of the deposit. A thin layer of alluvium called “turf,” usually covers the gold strata. Wild Hemp Growing in Canada May Be Used for Making Binder Twine Wild hemp has possibilities for the manufacture of binding twine and its cultivation may become a part of Can ada’s post-war industrial program. The Indians of the coast and in terior of central British Columbia have long been famous as carvers, weav ers and boat-builders, but it wifk only recently that attention was attracted to the fine rope which they make from wild hemp. At Awiligate in the Bulk- ley valley near New Hazelton there is a village of Indians who display re markable skill in making rope from the abundant wild hemp which covers the surrounding country. They have been making this rope for centuries by a method of their own, and it is so strong that they use it for towing their heavily laden canoes up tlie cur rents of swift rivers. This is convinc ing proof of its stoutness. They also make twine and thread from the hemp, hut not in such quantities as In the days before they were able to pur- chase these articles cheaply from j traders. The wild hemp closely re sembles the common fire weed of the United States. SOME SMILES Mothers’ Cook Book She Did.

Cus tards of various kinds are especially good for the little people—gelatin des serts served with cream, simple pud dings not too rich, and fruits of va rious kinds are all good desserts. Strawberry Custard. Prepare a pint of good boiled cus tard, using two eggs, sugar and flavor ing to taste, a*'-] one pint of good milk. Using a teaspoonful of cornstarch stirred Into a little of the cold milk and well cooked before the eggs are added, also mixed with cold milk, will make a thicker custard. Two table- spoonfuls of sugar will be sufficient in tills pudding. Freeze slowly until it begins to get thick, then add one large cupful of strawberry Jam, which may have been pressed through a rlcer to remove some of the seeds. If canned berries are used, the removal of the seeds will be easier. Fruit Dumplings. ~ Make a batter of u cupful of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of baking powder and a Utile salt; add rich milk to make a drop butter. Butter the small cups and drop in a spoonful of the butter, then add a tablespoonful or two of canned cherries, juice and all; then another spoonful of batter. When four or five small cups are tilled, leaving space to rise, set them into u shallow pan, adding boiling water to come well up on the sides of the cups, but not too much to boil over into them; cover and cook 15 minutes; serve with sugar and cream. Any canned fruit may be used; the juicier the fruit the better. Fruit Juice Pudding. For this pudding any strained left over juice from canned fruits may be used. Take a cupful and a half of the juice, ibid a half cupful of water, into which has been stirred two tablespoon fuls of cornstarch. Cook until well done, then fold in lightly the whites of ( two eggs. Pour Into a mold with al ternate layers of the same fruit, drained, and serve when cold with a custard made of the two yolks. ' lliLUt TVL^f urttC. WHAT ARE THE CONDITIONS?
