Q. la the Canary Islands where the

derived their namef—Curious.
A. There may be Canary birds In the
Canary talaada—doubtless there are—but
there are mora doga there, or used to be.
The Islanda received their nama from the
number of dogs fonnd there, the name being
derived from the Latin cams, a dog.
Q Who Invented the telegraph? Waa It

A. Bemud F. B. Morse Invented the tele-
graph. Edleon became an tnvautor as a

Q Tell me about chaplains In the army
and navy? Who appoints them and are all
religious beliefs represented?—Preacher,
A. Chaplains tn the Cunited States army
are appointed by tho adjutant-general opon
consultation with advisory boards which rep-
resent the evangelical protcstant churches,
and the Roman Catholic and Jewish beliefs.
A statement nuthorlied by the secretary of
war says: "Every rellgloua body will bo
given opportunity by the government to have
its representatives wttli the forces as chap-
lains. The number from each denomination
will be proportioned to its national mem-
bership. Every effort Is being made to select
the men who are especially fitted for tho
work to be done." Chaplains In the navy
are appointed by the secretary of the navy,

One day we hear that 20,000 men have
been killed. We shudder with horror
that the 1. W. W. machine can be
fixed so that it won't work.

at the situation. When we think that matters affecting the welfa-e of

tated to fight through the effects ot
venereal diseases it is time to shud-
der again. Another fact worthy of
mention Is that the veneral diseases
begin their attack before the soldiers
even get out of this country and that
such losses are even now being experi-
enced In the army camps In the Unit-
ed States. The one way by which the
social scientists tell ua that this evil
can be reduced in the army Is through
ttje activities of the Young Men's
Christian association and kindred
movements which are being Inaugu-
rated In the army. The sign of the
"Red Triangle" Is supplanting the

American soldier is the best paid

Baby'i
At the first year. At about the first
year the child will begin to stand,
and he most have shoes to support
his ankles. Rompers will give him
freedom and save on the laundry.
As soon ss he is sufficiently trained
(about eighteen months) drawers
should be worn.
Laced shoes are best for a walk-
ing child; but cannot be procured
for a small baby. When out of
doors In winter the child should
have his ears well covered, and a
bonnet with an Interlining should ba
used. A thin sweater Is a very con-
venient garment to use under the
coat on very cold days. The child
should never go out when the ther-
mometer Is under 15 degrees F. A
flite piece of cheese cloth may be
made to fit the baby carriage, fas-
tened on the hood; and this will
guard against dust and high winds.
Tie out of door clothing Is depen-
dent entirely upon tho season of tho
year and with tho sudden changes
which take place In the climate def-
inite rules tcannot be laid down.
Mothers are obliged to rely upon
their own Judgment, or that of ex-

position It may be said that infants

Questions and Answers,
APPENDICITIS.
I have seen 2 doctors; both tell
me I have appendicitis and one tells
vie I must be*operatcd on. Can I be
lured without an operationt It pains
me only at odd times and generally
at night. I drink 9 or 10 cups of
tea the day, besides about as much
water. 1 have also varicose veins.
And I am constipated all the time.
Clothes.
Answer—The excellent physicians
who examined you would be far bet-
ter judges than I, and I would be
presumptuous Indeed to advise in
the circumstances. On general prin-
ciples, however, operation Is decid-
edly Indicated In such a ease as
yours. In chronic appendicitis the-
local condition Is like so mnch dyna-
mite in the system, ready to explode'
oe the occurrence of any strain or*
dietetic indiscretion. Possibly the!
other ailments you mention may bej
much improved in consequence at
the operation. The Tannic acid in the)
tsa is very binding. Of course you1
are drinking too much of that fluid, 2|
or at most 3 cups the day are right
and should be your limit. 6 glasses
of water the day are enough.

COLD HAJ.US.
1 am having quite a time to keep
my hands warm. In fact I feel coldj
all over as soon as damp weather jefji
in.
Answer — Cold hands (and feet);
with or without sweating, if persist-',
lng several months, are due either to'
nervous fatigue (neurasthenia), ane-,
mia (poor blood), hemorrhage,
chronic digestive disturbances,
rheumatism, gout, or h->art or lung]
affections that may interfere with
tho right circulation of the blood.
Many nervous people get cold ex-
tremities suddenly and temporarily!
by reason of excitemont or anxiety'
or shock. There are those who will
complain of cold extremities, which
are nevertheless warm to the touch
of another person. Doctors call this'
parastheaia, and it is a nervous con-
dition. Vour doctor should examine
as to which of these causes obtains
in your case and proceed accordingly^

Gilbert Hunter, formerly physical director
of the Waco Y. M. C. A., and who Is widely

lieutenant In the regular army. Mr. Hunter
displayed remarkable gilt In securing this
commission, as he was severely Injured a

as truly a cross section of the people
of America as the European conscript

Glass Hysteria.
Let us not get hysteria about the
presence of glass in our morning oat-
meal. Glass, ground to such a degree
of fineness that It could not be de-
tected while masticating our food,
even if swallowed In considerable
quantity, could do no possible harm.
Only those ignorant of this fact would
maliciously place such a substance in

and was looking for me about milking

and he took his knife and skun it
and It smeiled something feerce and
he had not sold the skin but had It
naled up on their barn to dry out and
let the smell blow off it before he
traded it off or sold it and if I wanted
I could ha\e the skin for the nwarter

Looking for l'eaco.
I's longing for the boon of peace,
that's been for weary years mislaid;
I yearn to see the struggle ceal'se,
and captains seek some milder trane.
Who Is not weary of the strife,
of war with greedy, reeking jaws?
Methinks the whole world apd his
wife would hail said boon with glad
hurrahs. The world is dark with-
out this boon of which I write; at
noon I croon a yearning t> ne, I
sigh for It at morn and night. But
when tho boon at last appears, it
ought to bear the guarantee that
never more in coming years will war
lords wield the snickersnee, I would
not give a musty prune, I would
not give a rind of cheese, fo any
tinhorn, misfit boon that's bound
to bag around the knees. I hear
some fellows boosting peace, regard-
less of the brand on tap; but, as
I've said to Jane, my niece, this has
to be tho last big scrap. Until the
captains are agreed, and make
their vow, so help them, John, that
armaments must go to seed, oh, let
the dreary fight drag on! Still sound
the drum and loud basioon, still
ply the claymore and the gun, un-
til we have an all-wool boon, that
will not ravel, rip or run!

that reason, would not be swallowed.
We have had occasion, recently, to

we been able to find ground glass.

of the present upleasantness over on»

poisoners, as diabolical as they are
infinitesimal, are with us; generat-
ing In our unclean and carelessly
protected foods, substances that are
a thousand fold more toxic than the
most poisonous gas liberated over
no man's land. The decomposing
milk, left In tho seam of an un-
clean milk bucket. Is more deadly
than strychnine. Remove the inhib-

filthy fly, as a food poisoner, Is an
emissary of the kaiser and tho devil.
He brings us poison from unspeak-
able places and Inoculates our food
with the breath of death. From the
