WHITE MICE HELP
TO WIN THE WAR
•
I tjy united uress)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—If you
have a white mouse in your home the
army can use him. He is needed for
pneumonia tests at army camps, and
is useful fn the trenches to detect gas
attacks. ,
The war department can't get
enough of these rodents for pneumonia
; tests alone—the disease that has made
j the greatest inroads of any in the
I training camps. The test is made by
| injecting saliva in the mouse's ear
| and it reacts immediately if a patient
j has been stricken by the pneumonia
j germ.

j WEISER THINKS NOTHING TOO
GOOD FOR BOYS IN KHAKI
“Down in the southwestern owner
of Idaho there is a little dty that rs
just now reflecting credit upon the
whole state,” says the Moscow Star
Mirror. “It is in the heart of what
is becoming one of the great fruit
sections of the west and it is naturally
proud of its luscious apples. Some
of the patriotic and public spirited
citizens of the community conceived
the idea that the khaki boys with j
their clean and: healthy appetites
would appreciate some of those Jona
thans, Rome Beauties, Wagners and
Bell Flowers and then they figured
out a plan for getting the apples di
rectly into the hands of the boys with
the least trouble and expense. Weiser
Is on the Oregon Short Line *-ailroad
and troop trains are going through
right along now as the young soldiers
are taken east to be ready for France
The Weiser citfzens donated 2,000
boxes of their best apples to be hand
ed in to the troops as they passed
through.”

SOLDIERS LIKE SOCKS OF
THE HAND KNITTED VARIFTY
A member of the Olympia Red Cross
was recently at Camp Lewis attending
the round-up. A young officer—a
stranger—observing her knitting, said
very earnestly: “Do you know, noth
ing in the world is such a comfort to
us as these knitted things, especially
the socks. Why, when a fellow gets
a present of a pair of these real wool,
hand-knit socks there is as much ex
citement as over cutting the wedding
cake. Everybody gathers around and
admires and envies. You see, we have
to wear our shoes till they are pretty
far gone, and for tramping around in
this mud all day in thin shoes there’s
nothing like these hand-knit socks.”

FIRE!
A resident of Cordova had a
small fire in his house the other
day. It was extinguished by the
family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for
three years was less than his
loss at this trifling fire. Are
you, Mr. Property Owner, going
to wait until you have had a fire
before protecting yourself from
loss ?
Any person wishing to build
