Too many are unfamiliar with the wonderful ad­ vantage of outdoor. Too many cherish heated comforts. They forget that their ancestors did not know what a steam-heated*house meant. It Is time to broaden our views and to get closer In touch with the great health-giving life of the open air. There died not long ago a natural­ ist, John Mulr, who had lived the bet­ ter part of his life with nature. He loved the mountains and the natural life of all outdoors. His existence was a happy one. He died amid the surroundings of peace, happita, with a- contented heart. / It is only those who know the free­ dom of the woods and the health-giv­ ing tonic of the open air who really enjoy complete happiness. It is related that a sickly mother, not a great many months ago, carried a sickly baby to Doctor Evans, who looked the boy over and smilingly ad­ vised the worried parent to turn her boy loose in the parks, "let him live in the open air," he advised, "it is the only medicine that will do him any good." This same advice can be applied to­ day to thousands of cases. On Incle* ment days it is unwise to expose one­ self. But when the sun shines and the air Is keen and crisp, is filled with the germs of life, one Is extremely foolish not to take adyantage of It If parents would only see that their youngsters are warmly clothed, that their shoes are sound and that their little legs are well protected, and then turn them out of doors and tell them to stay there, tfiey would find their doctors' bills growing less and the health of their children growing bet­ ter. They will also see a glow of rosy health in the young cheeks which Is a certain indication of expanding youth, of glowing blood, of the creation of good health.--Memphis Cummercial Appeal. Feminism. Feminism Is the first attempt since the "days of chivalry to thlpk clearly and talk straight on this woman busi­ ness, to call things by names that shall square with the facts and not with the appearance of the facts. It Is woman suffrage with the bark off, for while woman suffrage wants us to change our ways of doing toward women, feinlninlsm demands that we change our ,ways of thinking about women. Feminism is the crust on the loaf of man's dally bread, and the loafer who knows ̂ >n which side his bread Is but­ tered will eat crust with crumb. It is the lemon on the peach tr;ee in the gar­ den of love, and wise is the man who has sense enough to give that lemon­ ade. It Is the lantern of Diogenes- to search out and find an honest man, even under his wife's waslitub. Feminism Is the acid test of man's chivalry and of woman's sincerity.-- L. Brooke in Pictorial Review. Indian and Firewater. The Indian is by no means a stupid fellow and many of them, although not Signing the pledge, are In their own way protecting themselves when under the Influence of liquor. In Miami, Fla., (among other things a trading post for the Semlnoles), the story Is current that these Indians always paddle down the Miami river in pairs; that they do their trading, deposit their surplus cash with a certain merchant of tried hon­ esty, and then go off "for a debauch, one t>n the first day and the other the next, the sober fellow refraining from even l drop of "firewater" until his brother has finished his fun. When both have aad their day, under the guidance and protection of a sober mate, they re­ claim their funds from their merchant depositary and paddle away to their homes in the Everglades.--Case and Comment. Russia Turns to America. The British acting consul general at Odessa reports a statement In the Russkoe Slovo (Moscow), to the effect that the Russian minister of agrlcuf- ture, when Introducing his depart­ mental estimates in the duma, stated that the lack of labor was making it­ self severely felt and that the use of implements and machinery' for agri­ cultural purposes in Russia must be largely extended. The department of agriculture, therefore, proposed to give large orders to American firms, i Molybdenum Found in Peru. The exhibition of some samples of molybdenum ores taken from a newly discovered deposit in southern Peru, reports Commercial' Attache William F. Montavon, Is exciting considerable interest In Lima. It Is claimed by Senor Eduardo S. Arenas, who brought six tons of the ore to Lima, that the mines are the largest known molyb­ denum deposits in the world. The ore brought to Lima is still In the School of Mines and has not yet been tested. "Meticulous." The use of the word "meticulous" in the sense of "particular," may be un­ derstood by the following definitions, which we quote in answer to a re­ quest for the citation of authorities: Century Dictionary, "timid; over-care­ ful New Standard, "over-cautious Oxford Concise, "over-scrupulous about minute details." The word is from the Latin "metlculosus," "full of fear," the derivation being from 4m@tus," "fear." That's Why. "Myers is a changed man since he bought that place in the country* When he lived in the city he used to be too lazy to hang up the pictures when he moved from one apartment to an­ other, but" now he's always pottering about his house and grounds, making some improvement or other." "Maybe he's trying to fix the place W so be can sell it again." K Little Things Count.

BATTLE m OUST STORM Drive of General Maude Into Ancient Capital of the Caliphs Called Great­ est Victory of War for the Allies- Defeat of Gen. Townshend Recalled. London, March 13.--Bagdad, the shief Turkish city in Mesopotamia and formerly the capital of the empire of the eaiiphs, has been captured by the British forces. Announcement of the capitulation of the city was made oa Sunday by' the British official press bureau. The statement was issued on re­ ceipt of a telegram from General Maude saying the British forces had occupied Bagdad early Sunday morn- lag. No details of the capture of the city were contained in Genera^ Maude's dispatch. During the day the following offi­ cial report was received concerning the operations against Bagdad, carry­ ing them up to Saturday morning, When the Tiirks had been forced back to within three miles west and south­ west of the city: "The enemy was driven from this position to another position two miles in the rear. "During the 9th our forces on the right bank (Tigris) drove the enemy from his second position, bivouacking on the ground gained. This advan­ tage, notwithstanding a blinding dust storm arid a violent gale, was pressed on the morning of the 10th, the Turks being pushed back to within three miles west and southwest of Bagdad." General Maude's drive northward along the crooked Tigris since the capture of Kut is regarded in London as one of the most spectacular aad brilliant feats of the war.

Only Three Senators Vote Against Re- term--W»y Cleared for m^ Extra Session. ' 'v Washington, March 10.--The filibus­ ter is dead. The senate Is now almost as free to act on legislation as the oth­ er great deliberate assemblies of the world. The obstruction to the president's legislation is effectively cleared of the difficulties of which he so frankly and Indignantly complained. The way seems now completely open by sufficiently defined constitutional power and through possible congres­ sional legislation for the president to go forward, arm the ships and do any­ thing else that may be necessary in the national emergency. Senator James Hamilton Lewis' reso­ lution declaring it the senate's sense that "The president's power is equal In defending our foreign commerce as In protecting our domestic trade" will stlil further clear the way. And now there Is no longer any ob­ struction In the way of the presiden­ tial action in pressing international affairs or in calling an extra session of the Sixty-fifth congress to pass the gigantic appropriation bills which are literally clamoring for enactment. Day by ||ay the word has come to the Hill that the president was wait­ ing for "cloture" before he was will­ ing to consider action oa the armed ships and the special call of congress. Now that his wish Is granted and he has cloture, he is 111 in bed under Grayson's iron orders. He cannot stir for several days. The vote on the resolution to curb debate on bills was 76 ayes and *3 nays. Here are the names of the three senators who voted against the amendment to the rule under which two-thirds of the senate can fix a time for a vote: Gronna of North Dakota. La Follette of Wisconsin.

WIM- NOT VIOLATE THE LAW Swtiss Legation Expected to Tell Ger- many of Action Taken by the "United States--Belgian Re- ; lief Ship Sunk. Washington, March 14.--Formal no­ tice that American ships traversing the Geramn submarine zone are to carry "armed guard for the protection of the vessel and the lives of the per­ sons on board" was sent by the state department to embassies and legations of ail foreign governments In, Wash­ ington. Following is the text of the commu­ nication as made public by the state department: "In view of the announcement of the Imperial German government on January SI, 1917, that all ships, those Of neutral Included, met within certain zones of the high seas, would be sunk without any precaution- being taken for the safety of the persons on board, and without the exercise of visit and search, the government of the United States has determined to plafe upon all American merchant vessels sailing through the barred areas an armed guard for the protection of the vessels and the lives of the persons on board." The notification, it Is expected, will be sent to Germany by the Swiss lega­ tion here. No obstacle wilf be placed In the way of such action. Whether other neutral governments will admit American armed ships to their ports i? a question for them to decide, but it Is not expected here that objections will be made. Holland is the only neu­ tral known to have barred armed mer­ chantmen from her harbors. State department officials did not wish to make it clear whether It wa? mandatory for all American vessels to have arms or whether they might sail without them if they so desired.

A novel means of solving the problem has been evolved by the Canadian Government at Ottawa on Wednesday last, when it was de­ cided to practically bonus every farm­ hand going to Canada, by giving Mn 100 acres free as a homestead, and to- allow the time he would be working out for, the good wages offered, to count aa residence duties on the homestead. Western Canada has been a big pro­ ducer of grain and it is estimated that there is a shortage of over thirty thou­ sand men, necessary to produce an av­ erage crop in 1917. This shortage has been caused by so many young men having left the farms to go to war, and it is essential to make an unprecedent­ ed offer of this kind, to fill their placea on the land at once. It has been required 111 the past to do three years' duties on homesteads to get title, but an additional Induce­ ment has been offered by practically reducing this term to two years. As explained by an official of the Canadi­ an Government,' Canada's need for farm laborers Is intense, and excep­ tional Inducements are being offered to get the needed farm workers at once. A farmhand will make his en­ try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat­ isfy the Government that he is work­ ing for a farmer and that time will ay> ply as residence on the land filed for. Just the same as if he was actoallf living on it.--Advertisement. Chinese Like Them. These Chinese have taken quickly to the electric toasters sent from **»*• country.
