DR. SCIIORER TO THE ARMY
SUNFLOWER SEED A DELICACY
Sold Like Peanuts to the Soldiers In
Siberia.
By Associated Press
IRKUTSK, Siberia. Sept. 7. Sun
flower seed is a delicacy much rel
ished by Russian soldiers. At rail
way stations where bodies of troops
are waiting the platforms are always
littered with the shells of the sun
flower seed. On troop trains the men
can be seen cracking the seed between
their teeth and chewing kernels
which they extract dexterously with
their tongue.
Peasant women sell the sunflower
seed about the railway stations just
as popcorn and peanuts are sold at
American stations. Many persons
crack so many sunflower seeds that
they wear notches In their front teeth,
which enable them to grip the seed
more tightly and crack them with
greater speed.

Coat ot Paint for Eiffel Tower.
By Associated Press
PARIS, Sept 7. The Eiffel Tower
Is to be repainted. This is a task
which will occupy about three months
and require more than 40,000 pounds
ot paint The outbreak of war in
1914 postponed the work. The struct
ure was last painted in 1907, when a
coat of yellow was applied. The
Eiffel Tower has had a curious fate.
Built as an attraction for a world's
fair, nearly thirty years ago. It was
condemned as a monstrosity by those
who believed themselves inspired by
purely artistic feelings. Since the
war it has paid for Its existence over
and over again as a wireless telegra
phy statloS.
