GERMANY’S MASTER SPY
Three years ago Georg Steinhauer
spent a night in Buckingham palace,
shook bauds with King George and
was the friend of many prominent
Englishmen, for he was a member of
the suite of Emperor William when he
’ m % attended the unveiling of the Queen
Victoria Memorial In 1911. Since then
ho has been the head of the spy sys¬
'/ tem in Great Britain and the most
sinister foe of that country. He sits
i in an office in the palace at Potsdam,
the center of a web of espionage that
f covers England, Scotland, Ireland and
* m Wales, and ft is doubtful if any other
living man knows as much about those
countries as does Herr Steinhauer.
The devices originated by Stein-
fife hauer to aid the activities of his sub¬
ordinates arc too numerous to dwell
upon in any detail, It was he who
invented the system of signaling by
automobile and bicycle headlights
from points on the English or Scotch
coast to submarines or other vessels
in the North sea. B "as he who realized the value of disguising spies in the
uniform of boy scouts or scoutmasters—a scheme which has caused all kinds
at trouble to Baden Powell. His genius found a way to signal by hidden
" re ess from the very heart of London, to conceal stores of petrol for Ger-
man aeroplanes in the Scottish Highlands, to bribe road builders to con-
struct bidden highways in direct line from one strategic point to another.
i/mitLT Site ^ n ° ° bstacle ' and the means P !aced at his di-'POsal are practically
nespite the fact that practically „ every word of instruction sent to spies
n ^reat Britain emanates from Steinhauer, his means of communication are

LAFAYETTE’S NEW PRESIDENT
College presidencies come easily
to the MacCracken family. Dr. Henry
M. MacCracken was at the head of
New York university for years; his r-
son. Henry N., was elected president K
of Vassar, and now another son, John
Henry, has been made president of
l^fayetfe college at Easton, Pa.
John Henry MacCracken was born
in 1875 and graduated from New York *
university at the age of nineteen
years. After several years of study in if I
Heidelberg and Haile, Germany, lie •H feftt
joined the faculty of bis alma mater.
In 1899 he became president of West¬
minster college, Missouri, holding the
position for four years, resigning to
become syndic and professor of poli¬
tics at New York university. As pro¬
fessor of politics lie has given courses
in the graduate school on municipal
government, being (foe of the flrst in
America to offer courses on city plan¬
ning, city charters and charter mak¬
ing, municipal finance and municipal
enterprise. He is trustee and vice-president of the American Institute of
Christian Philosophy; bus been identified with the work for students of the
intercollegiate branch of tlie Young Men's Christian association and has
served for many years as a member of the executive committee of the Stu¬
dents club.
PRESIDENT WILSON OBEYS HIM
Although President Wilson has a
cabinet to advise him. he is not bound
to follow its advice. There is one
JP? 1 consultant, however, whose word is
practically law to him, and who acts
as his personal guardian. This is the
official White House physician, and in
Woodrow Wilson’s case it is Dr. Cary
k j T. Grayson, U. S. N.
Aside from being his medical ad¬
viser, Doctor Grayson—or Past As¬
life 1 1; sistant Surgeon Grayson, to use the
navy title—is one of the few close per¬
;■ sonal friends the president has in
Washington. He accompanies the
*• IS?" chief executive wherever he goes, ad¬
/ vises what he him shall about what suggests he shall the eat and
wear, prop¬
er hours of recreation and work and
m tells him what he should and should
\ not do in the way of labor.
■■ , V-V Doctor Grayson formerly was
ship's physician on the president’s
.vacht Mayflower. It was President
Taft who summoned him to the White
House. President Wilson retained him and the two have become great
cronies.
Doctor Grayson was born and reared at Culpeper, Ya. He is thirty-two
years old and entered the navy as an acting assistant surgeon ten years ago.
PETER COOPER HEWITT
Wireless conversations between
Europe and America at low cost, the
transmission from one city to another
of every sound uttered during an
opera performance, power to converse
daily, without leaving home, with a m
friend crossing the Atlantic, and,
principally for military purposes at
present, ability io keep up steady con¬
versation between a dirigible and per¬
sons on land, or between heads of al¬ m Ml
lied armies with none but the two
persons talking able to catch a sylla¬ Vi V
ble of the conversation—these are
some of the things a New York inven¬
tor's 18-year study of mercury vapor ' o \
in a vacuum now promises to add to
the marvels of science.
The inventor is Peter Cooper
Hewitt, a slender, studious-looking,
middle-aged man who saves 40 min¬
utes of each day by having his tea
served in one of his five laboratories
high up in the tower of Madison
Square garden, in New York city. He
can t waste the time it would take to go out, he says. The elevator boys call
his five floors for he occupies every inch of them—the wizard's den.
Mr. Hewitt is the sou of the late Mayor Hewitt of New York city and
the grandson of the Pete Cooper whose statue stands just south cf Cooper
Union. His ancestors were French and English.
TAKES 0, ; F DANDRUFF
HAIR STOPS FALLING
Girls! Try Thi«! Make* Hair Thick,
Glossy Fluffy, Beautiful—No
More Itching Scalp.
Within ten minutes after an appli¬
cation of Danderine you cannot find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a
few weeks' use, when you see now
hair, fine and downy at first—yes—but
really new hair—growing all over the
scalp.
A little Danderine immediately dou¬
bles the beauty of your hair. No dif¬
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine arid carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time. The effect is amaz¬
ing—your hair will be light, fluffy and
wavy, and have an appearance of
abundance; an incomparable luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any store, and prove
that your hair is as pretty and soft
as any—that it. has been neglected or
injured by careless treatment—that's
all—you surely can have beautiful hair
and lots of it if you will just try a lit¬
tle Danderine. Adv.

Through the whole expanse of that

If you would be safe, you must stay

alluring doors. You must pass with-
out following them the secret wind¬

known places—
You will never know ail you really

hall with its brilliant revels, nor the
taper-lit chapel with its mystic ecsta¬

SALTS IF BACKACHY OR
KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU
Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Aren’t
Acting Right or If Back Hurts or
Bladder Bothers Youj
When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat¬
ing too much meat, says a well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they be¬
come sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges, The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels oft¬
en get sore, water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi¬
cian at once or get from your pharma¬
cist about four ounces of Jad Salts;
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com¬
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness,
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent lithia-water drink.—Adv.

WYOMING CO-OPERATIVE PLAN
r 'cu- Mill and Retail Sto<-e Estab-
isned to Permit Town Dweller
to 3uy P-oducts Direct.
in 3'neridan county a few weeks
ago a meet.ag vaa held by the farm-
■*ra rgan.zed -.ruler the Farmers’ Edu-
sattona: and Co-operative union, for
he ' u*T.hftraE.ce of a co-operative plan
v.'.a;. i to embrace a flour mill and a
•eta.;, store, wherein the town dweller
tan secure farm products direct from
Sheridan county farms. This is a
move in the right direction, and there
is little doubt but that, if the affair
is given practical business direction,
the plan will prove to be a success,
says Wyoming Journal of Labor. This
has not been occasioned by any cn-
mity on the part of the farmers toward
the middlemen (or merchants, as we
caB them), but is a sane effort to
bring the real producer and the real
consumer in closer relationship.
There is nothing new’ in the idea of
co-operation in merchandising even to
this country, as there are several lo¬
calities where an eminent success has
been made. In Europe, where man’s
economic status has been more cir¬
cumscribed than in this country, there
have been builded some mammoth
businesses, purely co-operative in their
operation. These include not alone the
wholesaling and retailing of merchan¬
dise, but the manufacturing and at
least in one case the maintenance of
a fleet of vessels.
The success of these institutions all
rests on the idea of the consumer real¬
izing a profit on his purchases. He
does not purchase for Jess at the store
than is charged at other stores, but by
becoming a stockholder in the enter¬
prise, he shares in a certain share of
the profits that are set aside for pat¬
ronage stockholders. The man who
owns one share, receives as large a
return on the same patronage as the
man who owns more shares, thus fur¬
nishing an incentive to membership on
the part of the wage earner who has
no money for investment purposes.
SOUTHERN FARMS TOO LARGE
Many Farmers Know Nothing of In¬
tensive Farming and Its Immense
Profit—Cultivate Too Much.
This is a good time to recall the
® tQ ry of t!] e German who emigrated
tbls countr - v man J' years ago and
* twent y acres of land and
sett ' ed on He had a large family,
and one of his new neighbors asked
him if he thought he could make a
living for himself and his family on
twenty acres. "I don’t know,” was his
reply, "but if I find that I can’t I can
sell ten acres and live on the other
ten. I made a good living and money
besides on ten acres of land in the
old country, and I can do it here.”
Tradition says he made a living on
his twenty acres, but that he got along
much better after his children grew
up and took part of his land off his
hands.
Most farmers in the South culti¬
vate too much land. Rather they pre¬
tend to cultivate it. They have so
much that they can’t half cultivate
it, says Anderson (S. C.) Mail. They
know nothing about intensive farming,
its economy and its immense profit
and the great pleasure there is in it.
Most farmers in this section could
prosper on one-fourth the land they
are now trying to cultivate. They
are land poor, and that is just about
the most distressing form of poverty
that we know of.
ORGANIZATION OF FARMERS
Co operation l« Team Work—Hitched
Together and Working Together
for Each Other's Good.
The very foundation of the farmers
organizations is co-operation. They
are organized for working together,
writes John C. Lawrence in Western
Farmer. Co-operation is sintpiy team
work. It is being hitched together
and pulling together. It is more than
team work. It is good team work.
Strong team work. A big team hitched
together. A big team of big horses
all pulling together. It is more than
that. It is many teams of many
horses hitched to work together and
actually working together, all pulling
together. It is no child's play. Boys
cannot drive such a team. It is a man-
size job and it takes an experienced
man, many experienced men.
The driving of a single horse is not
so difficult. A team of two horses is
not hard to manage. A one-armed
man can do that. Four horses are not
so hard alter you are used to them.
An energetic young man can drive
such a team \vi$ one hand while hav¬
ing an arm around his best girl. Six
horses require more care. You have
the leaders, the wheelers and the
swing team and each must move
promptly in place. But thirty horses,
properly hitched and worked on a com¬
bine harvester, the driver needing
only a pair of lines and a bean shoot¬
er, guiding with the lines and urg¬
ing oil with the bean shooter or air
gun, this is team work.
j n the organ i zation of teanj wor jj
amoug the farmers there is a definite
purpose There are certain thin „ t0

They can be moved only by organized
effort, team work. What are the loads?
The burdens w hich the farmer has to

3ay about the vaIue Another man
who has not hing to do with farming.
except farming the farm, fixes the
pr | ce the farmer j s to receive. Even
this fellow does not fix the price. An-
other man or set of men fixes it for
him. He takes out his slice of profit
aB(i !frt3 5t 60 at that - Who final,y
fixes the price? Not the consumer?
No, he pays a price fixed for him.
Somewhere in between the farmer and
the consumer there is an unseen power
that fixes the price the farmer is to
j receive and again, in turn, the price
the consumer is to pay. The differ¬
, ence is very great. The producer and
consumer are both dragging a useless
load.
Co-operation will do away with this.
Co-operation in selling. This is the
biggest problem. The first lead to be
removed. One alone cannot do it. Two
cannot, nor four nor six. Thirty makes
a big team, but thirty cannot start
this load.-, How many? All there are.
Big, little, all must be hitched to this
load. The balky must be dragged along
'•until, after awhile, warmed up, they
will be good pullers. The blind must
be guided by the pulling of the other
horses. The fractious must be held in
check. The skittish, nervous ones must
be reined in and held in place. The
lazy must feel the lash and after a
while, all will be pulling together.
Some need blinders, the}’’ frighten so
easily at every little thing. Suspicion
here; distrust there. A tumble wend
of doubt is set Culling by the other
fellow to scare the team until it will
run away and pull apart. This one is
snorting and that one is kicking over
the traces.
The harness for this team must be
strong; organization. The lines must
be made of good material: honesty.
The driver must know his direction:
leadership. The whip must have a
good lash: energy. Everything must
be in place and working together.
How easily the load is moved. Once
in motion it is carried on almost fey
its own momentum until it is out of
the way.
Almost the same experience is had
in buying supplies for the farm and
the home. The farmer does not fix
the price he is to pay for what he pur¬
chases. Another does that lor him.
The person of whom he buys does not
fix the price. Another is before him.
That other person- does not fix the
price, for he does not make the article-
Somewhere between the manufacturer
and the farmer there is the ability to
pile up added burdens of cost which
the farmer must bear and suffer the
penalty of the high cost of living him-
self and bear the blame of the high
cost of living for others. He can rid
himself of this burden only by the
same team w’ork, co-operation. *
Luxury for Hogs.
Kansas is making mollycoddles of
its hogs. The propaganda that the
state has been working on for clean¬
liness in foods has actually been ex¬
tended to the swine, and Kansas pro¬
poses to give the hog a bath every
morning and a pen as clean as a
kitchen.
All this comes from the result of
some experiments at the Kansas Agri¬
cultural college, showing that a con¬
tented hog will put on three pounds
of fat while the unhappy one is col¬
lecting two on the same amount of
food.
Poison Maeh for Army Worm.
To make an effective poison mash
for army worms mix a pound of pans
green and one quart of cheap molasses
with 25 pounds of wheat or corn
bran and moisten with water as
needed. Sprinkle this thickly across
their line of march. Renew’ as neces¬
sary.
A furrow plowed deeply and turned
toward the oncoming worms is also
said to be effective as a check.

Don’t put in another day of distress.
Let Cascarets cleanse your stomach;

take the excess bile from your liver
and carry out all the constipated
waste matter and poison in the
bowels. Then you will feel great.
A Cascaret to-night straightens you

ASKED SPEAKER FOR A SONG
And Bibulous Gentleman Escaped
Anger of Dignified Head of Brit¬
ish Parliament.
Mr. Balfour is credited with know¬
ing more good stories about the Brit
ish house of commons than any other
member. One of his best is the fol¬
lowing, which he told at a public din¬
ner some time ago:
“I remember hearing of a distin¬
guished gentleman,” he said, “who re¬
ported in the press gallery just about
one hundred years ago. He had bad
an excellent dinner, washed down
with excellent wine. He was bored
with the debate. He was wearied with
the superfluity of rhetoric, which pre¬
vailed just as much one hundred years
ago as today. He got bored, and he
got up and asked the speaker for a
song.
"The speaker of that day was Mr.
Addington, a gentleman who was noth¬
ing, if not proper. The whole house,
except the speaker, was convulsed
W’ith laughter.
“The sergeant-at-arms was appealed
to. He went to the gallery and he in¬
quired. The culprit retained the pres¬
ence of mind to point to a respectable
Quaker sitting below him, and this
unfortunate gentleman was actually
taken into custody.”
Serum Cure for Tetanus.
Doctor Doyen, the famous French
surgeon, announces the discovery of
a serum that will cure tetanus or
lockjaw. The inventor is a physician,
in the Ardennes, and the secret of his
success lies in keeping the patient
with head downward at an angle of 45-
degrees after injecting tiie serum into
his loins. Doyen says he cures 8(1
per cent of his cases.
All the world’s a stage, and most of
us think we are the stars.
There are lots of people who speak
twice before they think.
A bank teller generally has a pay¬

But, then, monkeys had the first
