4 No “Smoke of Battle’’ Now.
One of the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish it
from the wars of the past is the ab-
sence of smoke on the firing line. Ow-
ing to the use of smokeless powder,
no smoke is made when a rifle is dis-
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws off nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within a few sec-
onds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapnel or a shell explodes in
,’ie enemy’s line is there anything vis-
ible in the way of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
of the guns throwing the projectiles
while making the pointB where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, “the stnoke of battle," so
faithfully descriptive of the wars of
the past, has little meaning when ap-
plied to a modern war.—Popular Me-
chanics Magazine.

Ancient Egypt.
There are no statistics for the pop-
ulation of ancient Egypt. Herodotus
says that in the reign of Amasis the
number of inhabited cities was not
less than 20,000. Amasis reigned
somewhere about 525 B. C. The num-
ber of cities given by Herodotus is
held to be impossible. Authorities on
ancient Egypt are Maspero, Champol-
lion. Flinders, Petrie, and Rawlinson.
The Encyclopedia Britannica has an
exhaustive article on the subject.
Crinoline in History.
The oft-threatened return of the
crinoline, prophesied by alarmists of
fashion, leaves us ail wondering. We
find that the crinoline was first worn
in the sixteenth century by a Spanish
princess, who used it to conceal her
love letters from a forbidden admirer.
According to pictures of Queen Eliza-
beth, she was the first to wear it in
England, a writer in the St. Louie
Post-Dispatch states. Perhaps she
wore it for the same reason. She had
need of pockets to hide such, provided
all her admirers wrote to her. Among
her earlier portraits we find that her
dress resembled that of Queen Mary,
her sister. The skirts of these were
simply widened at the bottom.

When Health is Wrong
The Pay is Short
Gelling ahead in this world calls for mental and
physical forces kept upbuilt and in trim.
Often the food one eats "makes” or “breaks"—it
depends upon the kind of food. In many cases the
daily dietary lacks certain essential elements for keep-
ing brain and body at their best.
Over 18 years ago a food was perfected to offset
this lack—
Grape-Nuts
—and it has stood the test of the years.
Made of whole wheat and malted barley this
famous pure food supplies all the nutriment of the
grains including their mineral salts—Phosphate of
Potash, etc.— necessary for building brain, nerve and
muscle.
Grape-Nuts has a delicious nut-like flavour; is
always ready to eat—fresh, and crisp from the package;
so thoroughly baked it is partially predigested.
Thousands "on the job” every day know
“There’s a Reason” for
Grape-Nuts
—sold by Grocers everywhere.

-REIGHT AND PASSENGER TRAINS
MEET HEAD-ON ON CURVE.
Similar Wreck Occurred on Exactly
Same Spot Fourteen Years Ago—
Many Passengers Injured.
Chlckasha, Okfa.—Southbound Rock
Island passenger train No. 11 collided
head-on with a northbound through
j freight at the Agawam curve at 1:08
1 o’clock In the morning, killing seven
people, fatally injuring one more and
i injuring and bruising a score of others.
The dead are:: B. C. Arnold of
Chicltasha, a fireman on the freight,
j who died sitting at his post, but was
; burned and scalded almost into an un-
recognizable mass; Virgel Southward
of El Reno, head brakeman of the
freight, who was crushed and scalded;
Sam Carroll, Ohiekasha, OUlu., fireman
on No. 11, died at the Chickasha hos-
pital, never regaining consciousness;
Abe Jones of Chlckasha, a blind bag-
gage rider; H. C. Kettle, Independence,
Kan., and two other unknown men whe
were r’ding the “blinds.”
The trains were plied into wreckage
nearly thirty feet high. The two giant
locomotives, the largest of their kind
on the Rock Island system, were piled
with the freight engine lying directly
on top of the passenger engine.
The wreck was caused by the failure
of William Powell, engineer on train
No. 11, to take the sjdlng at Agawam
and wait for the freight.
Fourteen years ago at exactly this
same spot two freight trains collided
head-on, killing both engineers. Two
miles this side of this curve two pas-
senger trains crashed together head on
about three years ago, killing an en-
gineer and a fireman and Injuring a
autnber of passengers.
