Bamberg is to take up the growing
of tobacco. They have been chewing
it there for some time.?Aiken

There are a great many worse
things than tobacco to che>v. good

Does not the law say if a person
be sick, he should have a little alco
holic stimulant? Naturally we regret
the health of the community is
not so good at the present writing,
but, doubteless, with the increase
in whiskey shipments the quarts
ought to restore the town to its
usual good health.

Here is a striking paragraph written
by Mr. Ambassador Gerard:
During this period I had constant
conversations with von Jagow and
Zimmermann, and it was during the
period of conversations about this
submarine warfare that Zimmermann
_ on one occasion said to me: "The
United States does not dare to do
anything against Germany, because
we have 500,000 German reservists
in America, who will rise in arms
against your government if your
government should dare to take any
action against Germany. As he
said this he had worked himself up
to a passion and repeatedly struck
the table with his fist.
The ambassador's reply was that
there is a lamp pc*st in America
for every reservist who is disloyal
to tills country.

At this season of the year fires are
frequent. Every precaution should
he taken. Here is a suggestion from
the State insurance department that
is worthy of note:
"Help to reduce the shingle roof
fires by advising the people at this
season of the year that they should
put a piece of old sheet zinc or an
old discarded dry cell battery in
their fire places and stoves. The
fumes from this will rid the chimney
of soot and save money and houses.
"Help prevent fires by urging people
to rid their cellars, garrets and
premises of trash. Have no greasyrags
about the house to start spontaneous
combustion fires. Do not
put ashes of any kind in wooden
boxes. Replace weathered shingles
with tin or some non-combustible
roof and see .that tneir electrical
wiriag has not the insulation worn
off and is in good order.
"Help save the property of the
people. This may not reduce insurance
rates, but it will save loss to
many citizens."

; ' . T A SINGING ORGAN.
i
*. r
Inventor Says His New Instrument
Will Recite li/ Words.
An organ recital a few years from
now will be actually a recital of
words, besides music. And the organ
will do it all.
" For the last ten years Prof. Daytdfc
C. Miller has been at work inventing
an organ which will actually
sing words. He has already formed
combinations of pipes to speak the
vowels and to say "mapima" and
"papa."
"I have only to perfect the instrument
to say some simple sentence,"
says Dr. Miller. "Then the problem
?of having an orchestra and chorus
in one?will be solved."
Dr. Miller has invented one complicated
machine he calls th^phonedeik,
and a number of otflers, all
helping him toward the invention of
the speaking organ.
To make the organ speak Dr. Miller
says he had to analyze the simplest
sound first into its component parts.
And to do this he had to see the
sounds. Hearing them wouldn't do.
fin Ho invontPfl thp nhonedeik.
which shows you, in black and white,
the sound you .speak into it. The
writing is in cross strokes of various
shapes, each sound having a
different stroke, which Dr. Miller
calls a "curve."
Dr. Miller photographs these
. strokes, runs them through a machine
that analyzes them into their simplest
parts, puts them on qontheir
complicated instrument that checks
up the analysis, builds his organ pipes
to correspond with the mathematical
calculations and produces a sound
from the organ like that spokep into
the phonedeik.?Fargo Courier-Xews.
IX HOMBURG DURING RAID.
' Emperor Was Making Famous German
Resort Headquarters.
"Many English travelers win read
with deep personal interest the news
of the bombardment by allied aviators
of Homburg-vor-der-Hohe, the
fashionable little watering place 12
lailes-by rail northwest of Frankforton-the-Main,"
says a war geography
bulletin issued by the National Geographic
society on the Prussian town
which is reported to have been raided
by airplanes at a time when the
kaiser was making his headquarters
there a few days ago.
"Before the war Homburg, which
had a population of 14,000, was vis
ited each season by that number of!
travelers and health seekers. Fully
a third of the visitors each year were
Englishmen, and its baths rivaled
Biarritz in the favor of the late King
Edward VII as a resort.
"Homburg is delightfully situated
amid the spurs of the Taunsus mountains,
and the bathing establishments
are most elaborate and commodious.
The springs attracted many who suffered
from rheumatism, indigestion
and skin diseases.
"For more than two centuries
Homburg was the capital and favorite
place of residence af the landgraves
of Hesse-Homburg. The
great schloss was built by Frederick
II in 16S0-S"), and was refitted in
IS66 as a palace for the royal family
of Prussia when the town passed into
the possession of that kingdom. It i

the time of the air raid.
"Only a few miles from Homburg

of Saalburg. dating back to
the second and third centuries. A. D.
It was completely excavated two
years after Homburg became a Prussian
town, and it is one of the most

come for the 'cures.'
