WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 5, 1917.NUMBER 21 W hyNotTheJaps. That Ilie allies are sorely in ne^d of aid it) winning this war there is no doubt andabut for the timely entrance of the United. States in all probability the allies would liave finally succumbed t6 defeat. With the news being censored the people of this nation were given news that had been given more or less coloring, bnt after Beeing suc­ cess come to German troops and af­ ter the starvation propaganda had died out and we were forced to'see that Germany conld never be starved the fact has dawned upon maoy that Germany was by no means whipped and for that mat ter, is today an uuconquered' nat­ ion. The allies were quick to extend the right haud of alliedship to the United States, they quickly took advantage of the resources of the nation and they welcomed iu an unmistakable manner of the joy the entrance of American soldiers into the war zone. Nowr advices come from Paris that France has Bent word to the Chinese Government that Chinese soldiers would be welcomed in the trenches. If Chinese are welcome, why not the Japs? Japan was hot to enter the war and did enter w ithout any great provocation and spokesman for. Ja ­ pan in touring the United States were load in their utterances of sticking until the finish, but what is JapaD doing? Japan has a fight­ ing force that would prove a) God­ send to Italy at this time. They have a fighting force that wonld materially help in the western trneches, but why doesnlt Japan allign her fighting forces' with the other allies, if truly Japan is one of the Allied nations. W e had presumed that when it came down to brass tacks that- England, France or the U nited States did not want and did not encourage the entrance of Japan soldiers into active warfare, but why should the Chinese be welcome!! and not the Japanese? - It is a serious situation and un- IesB we are badly mistaken the bloodiest part of the war is yet to come. AU differences of nation­ ality should be brushed aside and the world should nnite against the common foe to hum anity and to the world and strike as one. Let the Japs put their men in the tren­ ches and help rid the world of a greater foe than the “ yellow’’ foe. —Stalesville Sentinel. • “ War Conference,” Indeed. Aunouncing the personnel of our representation at the conference of the Allies,.Mr. Lansing opeus his statement by saying: “The con ference is essentiaty a ‘war confer­ ence.” A t the head of our delegation in this “ war conference” stands Ed­ ward M. House a colonel from Tex­ as, whose m ilitary title is derived through political service. A t the tail of the delegation stands Gor­ don Auchincloss, who is Col, H ou-1 se’s son-in-law, thus maintaining the traditional administration idea that every thing pertaining to the government in peace or war is pri­ marily a family affair. Sand­ wiched in between these two dis­ tinguished representatives of a united hation and an equally un­ divided family come: Admiral W . S. Bonsoa, chief of operations of the navy, who, being more amenable to the pacifist no. dons of Josephus Daniels than Ad­ miral Bradley Fiske, replaced the latter soon after he had been so im prudent as to voice and active and vigorous opinion in favor of preparedness. Geu. Tasker H. Bliss, at present- chief of the general staff of the army and compelled to quit that po6t next month by reason of age Oscar T. Crosby, Assistent Sec­ retary of the Treasury, a traveler, a writer, au agreeable gentleman. Yance McCormick, whose know­ ledge of warfare was gained on the football field and by conducting the campaign for Wilson’s reelect­ ion on a peace basis. Bainbridge Colby" a New York lawyer, who was once a. Progress ive, whosupported Wilson in 1916, and who. in virtue of that lact, Uow holds a place on the Federal Shipping Board which, by right, belongs'to a regular Bepublican. .Prof. Alonzo E. Taylor of the University ot Pennsylvania who has written books on dietetic sub jeets. metabolism and the like'— which, If read by the men in the trenches will teach them how many times they should chew each mouthful of food wheu under fire by the enemy and other like valu able things. Thomas Nelson Perkins, a Boston lawyer and-director in some m in­ ing comyauies. Yet, to quote Mr. Lansing again, “ the conference is essentially a ‘war conference’.” Reward Pajd For Deserters. Iu a complied ruling of th i Pro vost M arshal General’ a reward of $50 is offered for the delivery of a diserter at the nearest army camp or post, which would be either Fort Caswell, or Camd Green, Charlotte. AU expenses incurred in the capture of a deserter will also be paid by the government. Any police officer, sheriff, or .. any citizen has tail authority to make arrests of a deserter, and bring him before the local exemption board, where the proper instruct­ ions will be given in orber for the officer or citizen who made the arrest to obtain his reward and ex­ penses after he reaches the army post. It is urged by the Provost Mar shall General that all deserters be apprehended at once, and any one who offers to protect a deserter, or throws any obstacle in the way of an officer making an arrest,, is guil ty of violating the law’ the same as a deserter, and can be handled in the United States courts. Stomach Trouble and Constipation. Those who are afflicted .with stomach trouble and constipation should read the following: “I have never found anything so good for'stomach trouble and consti­ pation as Chamberlain's Tablets. I have used them off and on for the last two years. They not only, regulate the action of the bowels but stimulate the liver and keep one’s body in a healthy condition,” writes Mrs. Benjamin Hooper, Auburn, N.

What Editor Click Says. A friend writiug to the Union Republican says he favors the war because be wants militarism done away with for good. But be will never live to see that day. We are now enthroning militarism in this country. We have watched to see if Mr. Hoover said anything aboat cat­ ting out cold drinks, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes, but it has escaped us, if he has. And why not? This is a Btrange age, any­ way. W hat the end may show, we don’t know. ' I It is the duty of the government to look after and provide lor the war, and we believe it iB doing so the best it knows how. And it knows how, because the big daily papers are telling it bow. It costs the government a million dollars to print and to send oat all printed m atter about food conser­ vation. Too much for it is not to be followed out.

I could hardly straighten after stooping and if I lifted anything heavy, sharp twinges darted through me. No matter if I lay down or sat in a chair my back ached. My kidneys were weak and caused me annoyance: My head ached and I felt so dizzy I thought I would fall. My nerves were all unstrung and I didn't have ambition to do any­ thing, Tbe first box of .Doan’s Kidney Pills did me good and after I had taken three boxes, Lfelt like a different person.

In many church­ es there were inspiring union serv­ ices in which several denomi nations joined. The aim of • these meetings as slated by the Council of Women lor Home Missions was: • “ To reach— A more real consciousness of God A deeper loyalty to the E ing of Kings.

Since the government set the price of sugar at 8 cents a pound the peo­ ple in this section haven’t been able to buy it for less than 10 to 11 cents,, and for some time there has been a sugar famine. Before the govern­ ment set the price there had not been a word said or printed about a shortage so far as we know. North Carolina must sell fifty million dollars worth of certificate war stamps between this date and July 1st-. This means that every man, woman and child in the State must purchase $20 worth of these government stamps or eome one will have to do their *‘bit” and yours too. These stamps are as good as gold, and run for a term of five years, drawing 4 per cent, interest. They are non-taxable, and if the purchaser finds he has to have his money, the Government will redeem the stamps at any time after being given ten days notice. Every child in Davie, along with their parents, will do their part in this great work. i 'p; . The Government i3 spending hund­ reds of thousands of dollars yearly printing and mailing circulars, let­ ters and pamphlets to newspapers throughout the country, which are thrown into the waste basket and never see the light of day. Uncle Sam is wasting millions of dollars — annually in pay rolls—second-class ...carpenters receiving $6 to $8 per day. In times like these retrench­ ments’ should begin at the seat of government. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to cut the salaries of all public officials, such as Senators, Congress­ men and Cabinet Members, middle in two. Let the present Congress take this matter under consideration at once. THE FAITHFUL FEW.

W ehope that this appeal will be sufficient to move the hearts of our fellowmen and cause them to loosen up their purse strings.

MRS. De SAULLES ACQUITTED® OF MURDER CHARGE BY JURY Requi-ed Less Than To Hours—Gets Custody of Son. Mineola, N. Y.—It required but one hour and forty-three minutes for a jury in supreme court here to reach a verdict of not guilty in the trial of Mrs. Blanca de Saulles for the murder of her divorced husband, John L. De- Saulles, former Yale football star and clubman, at his home near Westbury, Long Island, the night of August 3. In the verdict no reference what­ ever was made to insanity. 'It was a plea of temporary loss of accountabil­ ity which formed the basis of the defendant’s case. Mrs. de Saulles, who had mantained an air of extreme self, possession throughout the two weeks of the trial, received the verdict smil. ingly. She shook hanss with each of the jurors as they left the box and to each gave a nod of appreciation. As Mrs. de Saulles left -the court, room, a newspaper photographer touched off a flashlight. The shock of the explosion coupled, with the young woman’s heigtened nervous ten­ sion, caused her to stagger, but she was prevented from falling by Dr. J. Sherman Wight, her physician. She was taken into a nearby room, where she soon recovered. Mrs. de Saulles’ acquittal automati­ cally establishes her as the only legal custodian of her son, John L. de Saulles, Jr., according to her attorneys. With tffife American Army in France. —National guardsmen from every state in the Union have arrived in France, it is permitted to be an­ nounced. They are among the troops now training, or lately arrived. While it is not permitted to dis­ close the identity of units it may be said that all those which sailed from the United States have arrived safe­ ly and that some already are in train­ ing within sound of the guns on the battle front. They are showing a spirit in keep­ ing with the purpose to make the American expeditionary force a ho­ mogeneous American army in which each division, whether regular, na­ tional guard, or national army, cannot be distinguished in efficiency from the others. The former state troops are billeted over- a wide area and are pronounced excellent soldiers. The guardsmen have been arriving in the American zone for*many weeks. They are scattered somewhat, but as far as possible the units from the same state have been kept close to­ gether. They found the regular army had made good preparations for them, and while many are billeted in houses in French towns, others have been quartered in low wooden barracks specially erected. The troops from the various states have been recognized by the French population and have been welcomed enthusiastically. Many of the units wore the French red, white and blue cockade pinned to their campaign hats. After a sufficient time to • rest from the journey, the troops have been set to work training for actual service at the front. In all quarters they are declared to be most enthu­ siastic and their soldierly qualities have drawn high praise from the French instructors. For the information of the rela­ tives and families of the men, every one who sailed from the United Staites has arrived safely in France.

WILL ENTER RACE FOR SENATOR HARDWICK’S SEAT. Atlanta. Ga.—Chairman William J. Harris, of. the federal trade commis­ sion, will resign at an ehrly date for the purpose of opposing Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, for re-election, according to a statement made public here by Mr. Harris. ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS SOUND NOTE OF WARNING Against Too Hasty Condemnation of the Bolsheviki. W ashington.— R ealizatio n of th e g re a t d an g er of causing a re a ctio n in R u ssia favorable to th e c en tra l pow ­ e rs by in te rv e n tio n in th e p olitical affairs of th e new dem ocracy has caused ad m in istra tio n officials h ere to sound a n o te of w arn in g a g ain st h a sty cond em n atio n of th e B olsheviki. Back of what is described as a tol­ erant policy in dealing with Russia apparently not only is a purpose to demonstrate faith in the ultimate stabilization of the democracy, but a faint hope that the extremist fac­ tion, which is for the moment In control of the seat of government at Petrograd, will refrain from violat­ ing Russia’s treaty pledges to the en­ tente allies and make a separate peace. So long as there is a possi­ bility that these overtures will fail because of the apparently irreconcil­ able difference^' between the Bolshe­ viki peace scheme founded on “no annexations and no indemnities” and the German demands for compensa­ tion and “adequate safeguards for the future,” it is regarded as bad policy to exert any pressure from the outside at this stage. An additional reason for maintain­ ing an attitude of watchfulness and reserve in Washington is found in the fact that to meet just such a situa­ tion as is developing in Russia is one of the purposes of the inter-allied con­ ference assembled in Paris. The representatives of the chief na­ tions at war with the Teutonic allies • are assembling In Paris for the inter-1 allied conference at which are to be ; discussed momentous questions for j more unified action on the prosecution j of the war. The American, British and Italian missions already have reached the ; French capital. They are led respec- • iively by Col. E. M. House, David-Lloyd , George, the British prime minister, I and Vittorio Orlando, the Italian pre- ! mier. j In addition to determining a basis I for stronger joint action against the I enemy countries, the conferees doubt-; less also will discuss at length the . anomalous situation in Russia, where I the Bolsheviki factions are in control : and where German staff officers are I reported to be acting as military ad- j visers to the Leniue government. Pos- j sibly a most pertinent point in the j discussion will be the future attitude : of the allied countries toward Russia , —whether the situation as it now | stands does not place the Bolsheviki ; government and its followers in 'the j category of allies of the central • powers. Inside Russia the unsettled condi­ tions of affairs daily seems to be grow­ ing more serious. All communications now has been' severed between north ’■ and south Russia, even the foreign ! embassies in Petrograd being unable to get in touch with Odessa and other points to the south. Unofficial advices are to the effect that the Russian northern army is in dires traits. i Around the village of Bourlon and j Bourlon wood and about Fontain Notre Dame in the region of Cambrai, the j British troops are keeping hard after 1 the Germans. In both sectors General Byng’s forces again have made con­ siderable progress especially at Fon­ taine, where, having been evicted by the Germans after the »nitial drive of last week, they again have obtained a footing in the town and have advanc- , ed almost to the main street. & heavy j concentration of enemy machine guns • in the Folie wood did not succeed In stopping the British advance. The southern portion Jf Bourlon village also was entered by the British after a hot fight, but after having rescued some of their troops who had been isolated there for some time the Brit­ ish withdrw to their original positions. The Rocky Mount tobacco market has passed the eighteen million pounds mark and all sales records for Rocky Mount have again been broken. The total sales to date for the season have been 18,350,000 pounds at a price aver­ age of $29.33 per hundred. The strict quarantine at Camp Se­ vier, established about a week ago, has already resulted in a marked im­ provement of disease conditions in the division, according to a statement of Lieut--Col. A. M. Whaley, divisional surgeon. Notwithstanding the fact that Dr. Frank Siler has been appointed presid­ ing elder of the Winston-Salem dis­ trict of the Methodist church, Mrs. Siler will remain’ as dean of Greens­ boro College for Women until the end of the present scholastic year. The quarantine of Camp Sevier, Lieut. Col. A. M. Whaley, divisional surgeon, states, already has resulted In a marked improvement of disease conditions in the camp. The number of cases of measles developing daily has fallen below half what it was when the quarantine was instituted six days ago. “Chatham rabbits are fat, but they are scarcer than usual,” said Mr. A. C. Ray, a Pittsboro lawyer and member of the House of Representatives from Chatham, who is in Raleigh attend­ ing court. “The Chatham rabbit.” Mr. Ray added, "has acquired a reputation almost equal to that of the Smithfield ham. Announcement has just been made of the forty-five young women who passed the examination of the North Carolina State Board for Nurses held in Asheville November 20-22. The highest average in the examinations was made by Miss Ethel Brownsbur- ger of Fletcher, her average being 94 1-3. In a letter received by Senator Overman from Secretary of War Ba­ ker, the secretary says German pris­ oners held at .Hot Springs, N. C., and about whom there has been so much said recently, are under the jurisdic­ tion of the department of labor and that the war department has no juris­ diction or official knowledge concern­ ing them.

Va* Charlotte, N.C Charleston, W. Va. Charleston, S. C. P P •THE DAVIE RECORD, MOCKSVILLE, N. C. DrRECTOR OF CENSUS S. L. ROG­ ERS CONGRATULATES NORTH CAROLlNAf1HEALTH BUREAU. DISPATCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings and Happenings That Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo- •pie, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. That North Carolina has been ad­ mitted to the birth registration area of the United States, beginning Jan­ uary I, 1917 ,'f and is admitted as the thirteenth State in the Union and one of three Southern States is according to a letter received by Dr. W. S. Ran­ kin, secretary of the State ^oard of Health, from Sam L. Rogers, director of the Federal census bureau. The letter reads: “It gives me .great pleasure to inform you that .North Carolina measured well over 90 per cent and has been admitted to the registration area for births for the year 1917. A detailed report of the test will be sent you shortly. Our special agents have returned from North Carolina and have nothing but glowing accounts to give of the cor­ dial reception given them and of the efficiency of your registration sys­ tem.” This means, according to the State Board of Hdflth, that North Carolina is reporting all, or at least over 90 per cent of her births and that birth sta­ tistics as well as her death statistics will be accepted by the United States and foreign governments. For the past month tw.o special agents from the Federal Census Department offi­ cially inspected the completeness of the birth reporting made to the Vital Statistics Department of the Board and found that the State was hot only reporting far above the required per­ centage, but that the work was done most efficiently. The other States that l&ve preceded North Carolina into the birth registra­ tion area are the six New England States—New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Minnesota, Virginia and Kentucky. The latter two were admit­ ted this year. More Hog Cholera Work In State. Because the campaign for cleaning up hog cholera in the section around Elizabeth Citv has shown what may be done along this line, the National Department of Agriculture co-operat­ ing with the State Department has de­ termined to greatly extend this work, and has placed two additional hog cholera experts in the state to aid Dr. F. D. Owen in eradicating this dis­ ease. The first campaign of education and demonstration in the methods of hog cholera control was begun in 1914, when Doctor Owen was assigned to this state with headquarters at Ral­ eigh. Later the work was intensified by taking only a small territory around Elizabeth City, much of which is in free range territory, to See if it would be possible to eradicate the diease in this territory. The results of this test proved very successful and now two men will he located in the eastern section of the state with headquarters at Elizabeth City and Wilmington, while Doctor Owen will be available to citizens oyer the entire state. The work as outlined will be divided into two phases. The first will be educational and demonstrations in which the county agents of the Agri­ cultural Extension Service will be used to aid in awakening swine grow­ ers to the danger of the hog cholera disease. The second will be in the na­ ture of sanitary control work in which the co-operation will be with the State Veterinarian .of the Agricultural De­ partment. Director B. W. Kilgore, of the Agricultural Extension Service, will co-operate with Doctor Owen in the educational side of his work; and Doctor 0. H. Graham, State Veterin­ arian, will co-operate in the sanitary control work. Under the program of education and demonstration, meetings will be held throughout the State, demonstrations in the methods of immunization of swine through the administration of antt-hog cholera serum will be given, swine growers will be taught the eco­ nomic value of the . anti-hog cholera serum and county agents will be as­ sisted In controlling epidemics of hog cholera whenever there is great, need. Meetings will also be arranged by the county agents when there seems to be need of such educational movement. Millors Will Protest to Hoover. A delegation of grain millers ol the state was here trying to have the fed­ eral food control division suspend an order against the importation of wheat into North Carolina. The order lias been imposed on the ground that North Carolina raises sufficient wheat for the needs of the people of the state. There are 180 grain mills in tire state, 32 of which Import more or less wheat from other states. These mill­ ers insist that they cannot operate their mills if they are cut out of the wheat they have heretofore brought in to supply their trade. The millers, with the co-operation of the state department of agriculture will make up a detailed official state­ ment of the real situation in this state and present it to the federal food con­ trol authorities flitli demand for read­ justment of the order as to^ importa­ tion of wheat into this state. The millers held a conference with Hemy A. Page, federal food adminis­ trator for this state, and the situation was thoroughly canvassed. It devel­ oped that there are really more than 4,000.000 bushels of wheat brought into the state for milling purposes and something like 250,000 bushels export­ ed in the shape of flour and other mill products. The best estimates seem to be that nearly nine-tenths of the wheat produced in the state is ground by the small mills on the “cus­ tom” basis of tolls for the grinding in seed. That this state must produce some­ thing like 3,000,000 more bushels of wheat before the state can be really said to be self-sustaining in the pro­ duction of its wheat bread, is the con­ tention. Do Spring Plowing Early Is Advice. One important piece of the spring work which can often be gotten out of the way in the fall and early winter to good advantage is a part at least of the plowing. Officials of the Agricul- utral College give' the following argu­ ments in its favor: 1. There is more time in fall than spring and every day saved can be used for preparing and planting when th6 spring rush comes. 2. Hired help can be kept employed at this and other winter work instead of being turned off and lost. 3. Teams are harder and in better working condition In fall, and the weather is cooler for the heavy work. 4. Land is generally in good condi tion to turn in fall, which may be too wet early or too dry later if left until spring. 5. Stiff, “bakey” soils may be crumbled and improved in condition and come plant-food freed by exposure to freezing and thawing. 6. Tough sods will rot more quickly if fall plowed, and can be disked up into a better seed-bed with less labor. 7. Fall plowed land, left rough, will absorb more water and melting snow. 8. Wire worms, white grubs and other insect pests, as well as shallow- rooted weeds, such as garlic and weedy grasses, are injured and often killed by turning up and freezing. Light soils subject to washing should not be plowed in the fall. There is little danger of difficulty in Work­ ing fall plowed land up loose and mel­ low if a disk harrow is used when moisture conditions are right. Organize Peanut Growers. Mr. W. R. Camp has returned to hi3 office from a trip made to a meeting of the peanut growers of North Caro­ lina and Virginia at Suffolk, where in co-operation with the marketing offi­ cials of the State of Virginia, he took steps to form the Vlrginia-Carolina Peanut Grow.ers Association for the purpose of securing for the growers just and equitable prices for their product Mr. C. W. Mitchell of Aulander, a member of the State Board of Agricul­ ture, was elected president of the as­ sociation; Mr. Frank Shields of Scot­ land Neck, vice-president; and Mr. George M. Inman, of Waverly, Va., secretary- treasurer. The directors of the organization are A. F. Mathew, Waverly, Va'., J. L. Wynne, Everetts, N. C.; J. T. Robertson, Wakefield, Va.; S. B. Winburn, Como, N. C.,- E W. Crichton, Capron, Va.; E. N. Elliott, Tyner, N. C. In general, the objects of the asso­ ciation are to promote the mutual in­ terests of growers in prgducing, hand­ ling and marketing of the peanut crop. Any peanut grower In the State may become a member upon payment of the dues of one dollar per year. "It is of interest to know,” says Mr. Camp, “that not more than 50 per cent of a crop will be made in North Caro­ lina and Virginia, according to reports made at the meeting by visiting dele- gates from peanut counties. Earlier In the season, it was thought that two- thirds of a crop would be made but later reports have shown this to be an over estimate. About one hundred thousand manu­ facturers, wholesalers and other dis­ tributors of staple goods are now un­ der the licensing provisions of the Food Controi Act. • Two New Charters Granted. H. W. F.

Peterson, under in­ dictment on the charge of $7,600 short­ age in accounts as property and dis- bursing officer of the North Carolina national guard, procured the continu­ ance of his case In Wake county su­ perior court this afternoon, renewed his $10,000 bond and returned to Camp.

He Made Yuletide Real Again . DEFOBE the Christmas hearth I muse alone, And visions o/ the past, ' both grave and gay, Rise from the ruddy coals; outside the moan Of homeless winds is chid­ den by the lay Sweet sung by children who keep holiday, Making the season’s mood their very own. And slowly, while I gaze and dream and grow Eess lonesome, do the sights and sounds of earth . Fade, and my fancy wanders to and fro With a great master of la­ ment and mirth, Who waved his hand to gild the long ago. A wondrous company! Micaw- ber smiles In spite of poverty, and Lit­ tle Nell, Too frail a flower, travels her weary miles, Then falls on sleep, and Da­ vid tries to tell The trials of the young; now Pickwick’s spell Makes laughter easy; on a pinnacle Of sacrifice sits Carton midst .wafs wiles. Drolls, villSins, gentlefolk of all degrees Make populous the air, a hundred strong. Last comes, as fits the season, Scrooge, his knees A-tremble, till he harks the Christmas song Of love and knows that spite and greed are wrong And how that charity is more than these. Master of human hearts! No Christmastide Whose chants are not the sweeter and whose cheer Is not more blest since Dick­ ens lived and died! The savor of his teachings makes, each year Richer in hoiflely virtues, doth endear Man unto man; hence shall he long abide. —Richard Burton. A Christmas Gift That Could Not Be BoughL “One of my most valued gifts this past Christmas was one that money alone could not have bought,” said Dolly Wayne in the Philadelphia Ledger. “It was a pot of wild flowers and mosses which had been trans­ planted from the woods In the early fall and lovingly watched and tended until Christmas time. When the gift came to me the pot and saucer had been prettily decorated, and on the hepatica plants there were numerous buds, which blossomed, some on Christmas day and others later in the week, The gift still affords me daily delight I have enjoyed, those sweet purple and white hepatica blossoms far more than I should have any florist’s roses, for I know that the plants were gathered and kept for me by one who understood how dearly I love the woods and the treasures found there.” HerSanta Claus Letter C E E wrote a note to Santa 1 u Claus, The queerest note that ever was; 'Twas naught but scrawls and I dots and rings; , Ej But, oh, it meant so many 0 things!

It is time of great rejoicing. To show that there are friendly feelings between every one in the household the shoes are placed in a row in the liall when retir­ ing on Christmas eve, and, like the German custom, candles are left burn­ ing in the‘village windows all night to light the way for “Kristine,” who brings the gifts. The Christmas tree is largely decorated with candles and pretty cakes arranged in bright colored baskets, all usually home made. The richer households send good things to the poor, and everywhere among both rich and poor are the ani­ mals and birds remembered, says Our Dumb Animals. The boys and girls save up their pennies during the year for this purpose. Sheaves of grain are fastened to’the window ledges in town, and In the country the sheaves are fastened to long poles and renewed every day for a week, and many are the birds that spy this feast. On the barn floors of the pensants bowls of hot porridge are set for. poor “Robin Goodf elloW” to comfort him because he has no “soul.” The cows and the horses' share in the general happiness by having a double share of food given them. It is a big skip from the northland to the southland or tropical countries where Christmas is celebrated without the evergreen tree to decorate and hang gifts on. In Brazil the holiday may be spent outdoors in the sunny flower scented air. They have quaint superstitions in these summer lands relative to Yule- tide. On the coffee plantations the old folk say that on Christmas night the animals have the gift of speech and that if only a child has sufficient cour­ age to go out alone after dark it will hear on the stroke of 12 the cock crow in a loud, clear voice from his highest perch: “Christo naseeu”—Christ is born. The bull in a deep, sonorous bass inquires from a distant field, “Onde” —where? , The sheep then answer in chorus, “Em BeIem de Juda”—in Bethlehem of Judea. In turn all the domestic animals give to the world the glad tidings of the Nativity. Many a child wished it had the courage necessary to enable him to spend midnight outdoors and hear this wonderful conversation of the brute creation. Christmas Pie Has Long FamiSy History H APPY the Christmas reveler who has a digestion to tackle the Christmas pie. The modern fad­ dist In diet is trying to rule out the plum pudding and the mince from the Christmas feast. Shame on him! Better a night of groaning to the few than a ban on a time honored custom for the many. Lay in a stock of soda mint, pepsin and salt water. Be sporty and take chances on the plummy goody.;t First it was old Santa under a ban— a, dreary world it would be without Santa Claus—now It is the toothsome Christmas pie bulging with raisins, flaky of crust and redolent of burning brandy. Truly the modern progressive who lives by rule is akin to the old Puritan to whom the Christmas pie was an abomination savoring of heresy. In­ deed the Roundhead had more excuse for his abstinence; it was a test of or­ thodoxy. - He felt his morals would be injured by eating a pie whose savory contents were typical of offerings of the Magi and whose form was often that of a manger. The Christmas pie is of ancient and honorable lineage, and its name of “mince pie” came centuries .later, be­ ing given in derision by the Puritans. Are we such weaklings that what our ancestors have thrived on for centu­ ries will slay us in one eating? Surely the stomach specialist, that product of modernity, must have slipped up. Our grandparents did not eat one measly little slice of the Christmas pie in fear and trembling. Boldly they swallowed huge hunks, not on Christ­ mas day only, but during the entire season of Christmas, unto Twelfth Night Was it not writ, “As many dif­ ferent houses as thou shalt eat mince pie duripg Christmastide so many hap­ py months shalt thou have during the year?” And they began the mixing of that Christmas pie early and with great ceremony. It was a gala occasion when the plum pudding was to be stirred and each member of the house­ hold down to the infant In arms must have a turn at the spoon.—Philadel­ phia Press. In the Days of ’61-’65. "Christmas mornings in the Civil war days,” says the veteran, "were gener­ ally spent in reading letters. "After dinner the men indulged in sports, par­ ticularly prize fights, and then in the evening they gathered together and sang the wartime songs and told stories, of the Christmases before the fighting began. It wasn’t all chorus sing ng, either, for we had some good soloists in the line, and our company actors showod their’abilities by re­ citing or rdhearsing the plays they had seen while on furloughs.” RIVALS EXPLOITS j OF IESSE JAMES; i | C areer of W alter Blevins M ore' Sensational Than Any Dime * Novel Hero.

While in jail at Malta, Mont., he made his escape, In connection with two men, who it’is claimed were Western highwaymen. Shortly after hi& escape from' jail in company with these men and an­ other party, he went to Anaconda, and while at Anaconda this quartette held up ten or fifteen automobiles on a highway about three miles from Anaconda. Because one of the parties, a promi­ nent business man, failed to hold up his hands as quickly as Blevins or­ dered, it is claimed Blevins shot him, and also shot a woman who did not respond immediately to his command. Theoman lived a few weeks and died. Blevins made his escape nad was af­ terwards recaptured at Minot, N. D., and returned to Malta, Mont., on the old charge for which he was serving a sentence when he escaped. It was claimed part of the stolen goods and jewelry' was found upon him, Confesses to Robbery. Blevins confessed to the robbery of the Johnson City post office at Malta, Mont., and before the Montana state authorities suspected that he was con­ nected with the Anaconda robbery he was brought to Tennessee for trial for the Johnson City robbery of the $10,- 000 in postage stamps and several hun­ dred dollars in money. He was tried on that charge at the session of the United States district court in September, at Greeneville, Tenn., when he repudiated his alleged confession, claiming It was forced from him by the sheriff in Montana, afid, the federal government being un­ able to rebut his claim at that time, he was acquitted by the jury, there being no other evidence of his robbing the, Johnson City post office except his reputed confession. Sheriff J. R. Crabb and Deputy Sher­ iff Percy Ingalls of Montana took Blev- ins back to Montana with a 20-pound boot on his foot, which has a combina­ tion lock which takes about three min­ utes to open, and strong handcuffs. Au examining physician for one of the prominent life insurance companies, in in interview of the subject, made the as­ tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re­ jected is because kidney trouble is so com­ mon to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect Uwt tiifj have the disease.1 Judging from reports from drugpsts who are constantly in direct- touch with the public, there is one preparation M has been very successful in overcoming these conditions.

A French Man-of-War. No food was brought me during the afternoon, nor had I eaten all day, yet my mental state vtas such I had no consciousness of hunger. I had dis­ covered no means of creating a light, although my eyes were sufficiently ac­ customed to dimness to enable me to move about my narrow quarters safely enough. * It must have been between eight and nine o’clock when the key turned in the lock of my door, and Liverpool looked in. The light frftin the swing­ ing lamp in the main cabin flared into my eyes, blinding me, yet I recognized his face, and saw Dade close behind him, bearing a tray. Neither of them spoke, but Red, having assured him­ self of my presence, stood aside, and’ motioned the steward to enter. The latter deposited the laden tray on the desk, and backed out silently, every movement showing him thoroughly cowed by his guardian. Eealizing that any word from me would only result in I insult, I remained silient, and the two disappeared, closing and locking the door behind them. I confess I ate the mered, absolutely forgetting my pres- ' f00d with relish, for it was well cooked, ence. “I—I assure you I was actuated and served with some daintiness.

No one “I will converse with Miss Carringr ton alone.” To resist would have been utter fool­ ishness. I could Esee the gleam of the gun in his hand, and realized that he only required an excuse to use it. More, there was nothing in the expres­ sion of the girl’s face to inspire me to resistance. She did not even glance toward me, or exhibit the slightest in­ terest. With hands clenched in impotent rage, not even venturing a reply, I stepped backward. As I crossed the ihreshold McCann closed the door, and I heard the key turn in the lock. Trembling still with anger, and dazed hy the strange action of the girl, I returned for the emptied dishes, and I sat for a long while at the open port smoking, the blue spiral swept away by the rush of air, and my eyes on the starlit waters, I had been sailor long enough to ac­ cept the ordinary perils of the sea as part of the profession. Nothing was too strange to be true at sea; and so it was not the position in which I found myself; not the possible fate of the In­ dian Chief, or of her captured officers, which weighed most upon my mind—it was Vera Carrington. If those villains scuttled tKe ship; if they took to the boats to save themselves, leaving ns to drown like rats, what would they do with the girl? Would McCann dare to “Vat ees it, Monsieur White? Why they want me on deck?” “What’s the difference, you frog- eater? But I’ll tell yer anyhow. There is a cruiser showing up off our port quarter, which has caught sight 0 ’ us. She looks Frenchy, and if there is a hail, it will be up to you to answer— you are the only one aboard this hooker who talks the lingo like a na­ tive, see!” Dubois stood staring, his lips parted In sudden terror. “A French warsheep; eet hail us?” “Not yet; but they are bound to question us, all right.

McCann’s only hope of escape lay in some satis­ factory explanation, which would lull the suspicions of the French com­ mander—some He smooth enough to prevent boarding and search. Assured that White was beyond ob­ servation of any of my movements, I crept cautiously around the stair rail, and noiselessly mounted the steps. I found the after part of the main deck deserted, although forward of the mainmast ’ I could perceive dark blotches along the port rail, where members of the watching party were observing the approach of the French cruiser. With heart beating like a trip- easy manner, startled me; those must be carefully forged papers In his pocket to enable him to proceed with such con­ fidence. Slowly I lifted myself until I could peer over the side at the dark expanse of water between the vessels. The searchlight of the warship rested In a glare of white on the small boat j bobbing up and down, revealing th6' men at the oars, and McCann and Du­ bois in the stern sheets. Neither glanced back, but I could see their faces clearly, and McCann was smiling as though at an excellent joke. CHAPTER XX. The Cruiser Leaves Us.

Would he venture utter helplessness. AU she had done j ieaving her alive to bear witness to and said appeared so natural It never n'ally occurred to me once that she might be acting a part, seeking in this way to gain McCann’s confidence, In order to win from him the information we required. It was only as I sat there in silence, brooding over every detail, that this possible conception began to slowly dawn upon my mind. Thafc She could trust the man m any way was practically impossible, for he had re­ vealed to her his true character in so many ways the memory could not be blotted out. As the full knowledge of this truth grew apparent, I was able to view all that had occurred later In a different light. She had simply accepted her one chance; had grasped with womanly injuition the single weapon left at her command. Girl as she was In years, her experience In the world had been that of a woman, and she instinc­ tively realized her power—the power of wealth, of beauty, and of youth. It had been beautifully done, so deftly Accomplished as to deceive even me. Aye! and the method had succeeded with McCann. I recalled the expres­ sion of surprise, of gratification, of awalcenecl pride on the man’s face. He hud no power of resistance left; he was already; putty in her hands. True, but would he remain so? The game she played was a dangerous one; if she ventured too far she would dis­ cover the brute lurking In him still. And he had the power, the physical power, to wreak vengeance once he ‘uspicioned deceit. And there was no fne to help her if sho made a single fal ,e step—absolutely no.one; she was a lamb among wolves. Those fellows would never release me again, not for a moment. I would be compelled to take observations, to calculate posi- iion, to trace our sailing course on the chart, but not for an instant would I lIe left again unguarded, either’ on deck or In the cabin. McCann would sec to that. The afternoon passed, dragging its weary hours, Nothing happened to re­ lieve the monotony and dread of soli­ tude. No one approached the door of the stateroom, not even to offer me food, and my ears were able to dis­ tinguish no sound of movement in the main cabin. Occasionally footsteps passed along the deck overhead, and once or twice I heard the voice of-Liv­ erpool sing out some order tp the men forward. The sun sank, its rays glint­ ing across the waters, and telling me the ship held to its southwest course, his crime? There was but one an­ swer—not unless she was utterly In his power. Either he must quiet her by force, and thus bring her spirit to his will, or else compel her to marry him, and so legally seal her lips. And the man was perfectly capable of taking either course — whichever seemed easier. ® - This was the consideration which served partially to arouse me from coma. I could not continue to sit there waiting for Fate to approach; better far to go forth and meet it in manly fashion. I had a good strong knife In my packet, and the lock of the door was a common one, the wood surround­ ing it soft pine. There was nothing in that obstacle to prevent my escape, and if I was discovered at large, my pun­ ishment would merely be confinement elsewhere. I had therefore nothing to lose, but everything to gain by the ex­ periment. The hour was late, the night had thus far been a quiet one, and it was quite probable the fellow, com­ fortably situated, was drowsing .at his task. Anyhow, I would make little noise, and the chance was worth tak- ing. The labor proved easier than I had supposed. The soft pine yielded easily to the sharp blade, and a very few mo­ ments sufficed to cut the lock clear, enabling me to open the door silently and take cautious survey of the main cabin. At first I doubted the presence of anyone, and had, indeed, ventured forth before perceiving the form of a man outstretched on,, the divan sur­ rounding the butt of the mizzenmast. The* fellow was ’ asleep, yet restless enough to be dangerous. .His face was In shadow, and I tho'ught it best not to venture close enough to identify him, although the dim light revealed a belt about his waist, and the bulging butt of a revolver. Convipced that my only iope of "accomplishment lay in the discovery’ and release of my fel­ low* prisoners, I crept across the de­ serted cabin, and entered the passage leading forward. Somewhere amid­ ships these were surely confined. But I was not destined to discover where. I had taken scarcely a step when the companion door opened, and a man started down the stairs. Crouched in the darkness, J saw the sleeping guard, aroused by the noise, spring upright, and as the Ught fell on his face, I rec­ ognized a seaman named Dubois, ine man on the stairs paused, gripping the rail, staring down as though momen­ tarily blinded by the light, peer over the port rail, secure that my presence on deck was screened by the deep shadows in which I lurked. The gleam of the stars alone re­ vealed the glittering surface of the sea, but the night was clear of fog, and the black outline of .the French warship was plainly visible, approaching us at half-speed, and silently closing up the' narrowing gap of water between the two vessels. I felt the heart come up into my throat as I gazed spellbound, every nerve in me throbbing painfully. A single voice echoing along those 'decks yonder could blow us out of the watqr. Even as I stared at the grim spectacle, the slim figure of a man ap­ peared at th'e end of the bridge, and a voice hailed us in French. “Ahoy there I What ship is that?” There was a shuffling of feet above me; then McCann spoke In English: “The American freighter Indian Chief, bound for Liverpool.” “Is there anyone aboard who speaks French?” I heard them hustle Dubois forward ,to the rail, and caught a word or two I GREEN’S AUGUST FLOWER Has been used for all ailments that ^ e caused by a disordered stomach and Inactive liver, such ps sick head- i ache, constipation, sour stomach, ■ 1 nervous indigestion, fermentation of I food, palpitation of lie heart caused by I gases In the stomach.

I drew instantly back, stunned I by sight of McCann in their lead, real- ; izlng instantly that our effort to at- j tain the open was already too late. | “There he is!” he cried eagerly. “Get ; him, you men. Lively now; there’s no ! danger; if he lifts that gun, he’s a dead man.” I was staring sttaight into the black I muzzle leveled at my head, but before j I could move, or even determine what j out. Before I could resist, or even brace myself, another hand was clapped over my mouth and I was fairly hurled back below the shelter of the rail, dragged across the black deck, and thrown through the opened door of the companion. This was accom­ plished so quickly, and with so little evidence of struggle, as to attract no notice from the Frenchman, from whose deck no doubt every eye was fastened upon the approaching boat. Half hurled, half dragged, I plunged Into the dimly lit cabin, and it was not was best to be done, Vera stood be- j 3 I until I struck the lower deck that I even realized clearly what had oc­ curred, or who were my assailants. I fell sprawling on one shoulder, but was as instantly on my feet, bruised, but tween me and the mob on the stairs. “Go back! back to my stateroom; j he’ll never shoot me. Please, please I go back.” j I was hot-headed enough to have 1 otherwise uninjured, maddened by a | fought them all, but to attempt resist- , rage beyond all control.

I retained sense sufficient to : know this, and that only force would j cast her aside.

Now, all of this inferior fruit Is un­ necessary, for it is entirely possible to have every apple oif the tree, of good full size, and color fully up to the I standard of its variety.

Roumanian oil wells have been de­ stroyed. winter—and as many more the next year. The wise way is, never to let trees get into that crowded, overgrown con­ dition. Avoid AU Crotches. When three-year-old trees are first planted, all crotches should be avoid­ ed, and for the next two years trees should be examined occasionally mid so cut as to secure a well-balanced top. For many reasons high tops are the best—high enough so as to admit a full-grown man walking about them upright. As the trees get larger, naturally more and more work will be needed in pruning. Thrifty eight to ten-year-old trees will make an astonishing growth of wood in one season. Bear in mind that the tops should be kept thin enough so that the sun­ light can penetrate to all parts. It is light which makes perfect fruit—other conditions being favorable. Remove Weak Limbs. i In general, remove the weakest limbs, and where two interfere cut one. Then shorten in all Iiranches which show an abnormal growth, thus preserving the symmetry of the tree. ; Water sprouts—those sappy shoots which have started since last prun­ ing, should be cut without mercy, ex­ cepting in cases where one is needed to fill a vacant place. If you have followed the rules for pruning, you will have a spreading, open-topped tree—so scattered in foli­ age that it will be a poor shade tree for a hot day, but exactly adapted to the growing of large, showy apples. Owing to the prevalence of strong , southwest winds, it is best to plant trees with a little inclination to the two-o’clock sun. and In pruning en- courge the heaviest top on the same side of tree. \ It is customary to say: Make a.*; smooth cut; and a very little thought • will show the necessity of this. Na- ; ture will repair the damage, by heal- I Ing over the wound, as soon as possi- ; ble. But if'a rough, uneven surface is left, it is difficult, or perhaps im- • possible for the bark to cover it. j AU cuts above an inch in diameter should he painted with a soft grafting1 wax. This is needed, because the hot I sun will check the wound and water will penetrate. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County—ss.Frank J.

Been Carried on a t the Mis­ souri University. During recent years the University nf Missouri College of Agriculture at Columbia in co-operation with a num­ ber of practical orchardists has been , carrying on demonstration experi- neeessary to properly prune the or­ chard. There is a fear that should the crop fail the orcliardist would not be in position to pay for his spraying outfit and his spraying material. Many Missouri orchardists last spring complained th’at the raifly j weather and cold nights during the blossoming period prevented file bloom j iiients in the value of spraying, jirnn -1 from setting fruit, or killed set fruit I ing and the general renovating of neg-! on frosty nights. The killing was due i looted orchards in Missouri. I almost entirely to the fact that in neg- I Backache of Womei a There’s a Reason” The results of these demonstrations sliow that apple orchards well man­ aged can be made to yield the largest profits of any Missouri farm crop. On the other hand neglected orchards in the same neighborhood hardly yielded interest on the valuation of the or­ chard. During 1917 the results of proper spraying and pruning have shown larger profit than in . any (previous i year. During the last year neglected I orchards have set very little or no | fruit. The little fruit which was set here and there was for the most part small, wormy and of low market qual­ ity. Orchards properly sprayed and pruned during the last two or three years have set anywhbre from a fair up to a heavy crop of fruit. The qual­ ity of apples on well-managed or­ chards this year has been the best produced in Missouri in recent year#. Orchards properly sprayed and well managed have yielded anywhere from $100 up to several hundred, dol­ lars per acre, net. Neglected orchards In the same neighborhood have yielded anywhere from, nothing up to $18 to lected orchards the blossoms were I weak. In most of the properly man- j aged orchards, at least a fair crop of fruit set and matured-to fine condi­ tion, due to tli o fact that trees kept healthy can usually set fruit even dur­ ing trying weather. SUCCESS WITH SHEEP FLOCK How this Woman Suffered and Was Relieved. Fort Fairfield, M a in e .—“ F or m any months I suffered from backache caused by female troubles so Xwas unable to do my house work. I took treatm ents for it but received no help whatever. Then some of my friends asked why I did not ‘ try Lydia I . Pinkham’s Yegetable Com­ pound. I did so and my backache soon disappeared and I felt Mlre a different woman, and now have a healthy little I baby girl and do all my house work. I will always praise Lydia E.

Future Lamb Crop Depends Great Deal on Feeding and Breeding and Care of Ewes. v A great deal depends on the future lamb crop, not so much for mutton as for. the production of wool and the in­ crease of farm flocks. And the future lamb crop depends a great deal on the feeding and breeding and care of the ewes during the next few months, says a writer In an exchange. The impres­ sion that a sheep can subsist on n o ­ thing may be partially true, but in our many years of experience with them I found that it pays, in the thrifty con­ dition of both ewes and lambs, to give 1 the sheep careful attention.

In the past twenty or thirty years, while the death rate among babies, youths, young adults, and even per­ ns of advanced age, has steadily de­ clined, thanks to better public health sasurcs and improved sanitation, the death rate for adults of mature age, that is, middle age, has steadily increased. This anomaly is .at pres­ ent giving the health authorities of the TVhole country concern, and it is High time to start a drive against the conditions 'which account for the dan­ gers -of middle age. We know those conditions pretty "well. "While such scourges as tuberculosis, pneumonia, typhoid fever and the food Infections called “cholera infantum” I P ertinent questions on health, hygiene and sanitation of general interest to our !readers w ill be answ ered in these colum ns or by m ail if addressed to tm s office or Ito th e S tate B oard of H ealth a t H aleish and ’accom panied by a stam ped, address­ e d envelope.

The artery rup­ tures when some excessive strain is put upon it, as from too hearty eating, great anger or other emotional ex­ citement, excessive physical effort, alcoholic excess or other excesses. But the artery would withstand the strain were it not a diseased or degen- ereated artery. It is damaged by ill usage. The victim has lived toe fast, too well, too strenuously. He has neglected the vital matter of personal •hygiene, and worn out his arteries too early, in life. He may have over­ worked—he likes to think so; but usually it is not overwork, but the re­ sort to alcohol, tobacco or even drugs to tide over periods of fatigue or ex­ haustion from overwork, that accounts for the degeneration. of ,the arteries. Apoplexy may occur.in spite of a low blood pressure, although an ex­ tremely high blood pressure is most frequently present in one with the pre­ disposition to apoplexy. Overreating is recognized as one of the cheif, if not the chief, predispos­ ing causes of the arterial’ diseases which bring on apoplexy. People who begin to put on superfluous weight after thirty-five years are not necessarily headed toward apoplexy, yet they will make no mistake in adopting hygienic measures of preven­ tion for the good of general health. Not only the obviously stout and ple­ thoric or full-blooded individual, but also the pale and slender may have a stroke of paralysis. Still, the stout, over-nourished type, with short thick neck predominates among victims of apoplexy. One of the most effective preventa­ tive measures known today is the an­ nual medical examination. When your doctor knows you, as a mechanician knows a machine he has overhauled thoroughly once a year, he’is capable of detecting the earliest changes in heart action, blood pressure, kidney function and general conditions which always long antedate a threatened stroke of paralysis. ONLY A QUESTION.OF TIME. IHearache Cures, Grippe, Neuralgia 'and One Day Cold Cures Often . Contain Acetanil ide. Ihave been diminished in prevalence as sanitation has improved, the four great degenerations of middle age— namely, cancer, Bright’s disease, heart disease and apoplexy—have slightly Increased in prevalence. The cause of cancer is as yet unknown, but we know much about the causes of the other three perils of maturity. Apoplexy, for Instance, is commonly called a stroke of naralysis, and is produced by hemorrhage into the brain from a .break or rupture of a small THUG WITH OLD SORES. AU external cancers and many inter­ nal ones are nothing but old sores In the beginning. Old cold sores on the lip which do not heal within a reasonable time; old warts or pimples on the face WMch almost heal up, when become Irritated, bleed a little, scab over and almost heal up again, only to become Irritated once more, and so on. There is a great deal of foolish prej­ udice against what the crook with an alleged cancer cure likes to call “the knife.” This prejudice may have been justified In the ancient days when an operation was painful and very dan­ gerous; then the doctors had no anes­ thetics and knew nothing about the ■ways of preventing blood-poisoning, and so an operation was a very ser- A5K THE MAN W H O KlM O W S is to have such sores surgically treat­ ed, by your physician or a surgeon he will recommend. Take a wart, for in­ stance. Often enough it resists each and every alleged remedy arid only becomes more irritated the more you tinker with it. But, with the aid of a local anesthetic, it can be removed In a few minutes, and that is the end of the trouble. People like to imagine that this or that' application possesses some mys­ terious “healing” virtue. No remedy, we care not what its nature, makes a sore heal. The physician prescribes certain remedies to accomplish defir nite things which he finds necessary to aid Nature In the healing process. Yet the fact remains that Nature al­ ways does the healing, and at a rate which cannot be hastened by human agencies. Healing, however, may be retarded or prevented by ill-advised applications to a wound or sore, and this is the reason why it is always more economical to let your doctor de­ cide what is best to put on a wound or sore,-for naturally he- understands such things much better than a mere druggist or a manufacturer or medi­ cine, or an old woman, or the patient himself.

T he essential cause is th e pufe germ . N ot in the sense th a t m easles or whooping cough is. The pus germ is only capable of penetrating the skin in rare Instances, They generally gain ad­ m ittance through a h air follicle ,or “skin” gland. They are conveyed from the skin on one p a rt ot th e body to another by contact, as scratching. The prophylac­tic treatm ent consists of cleanliness. A person having one or m ore boils should take a w arm bath a t least four tim es-a week, .using soap free from alkalis and fancy perfum ery. W hen a boil first oc­curs try to abort it by touching w ith pure carb o lic acid; and p aint around it w ith tincture of iodine.

The editor of the Telegraph very .pertinently inquires ‘‘what happens on the branch lines, if this happens on the niain lines, and what hapbehs to second class m atter if this hap­ pens to first class] mail?” And the editor olso appropriately states the truth when he says that "the. mail service heads forget that news­ papers are as perishable products as fruits They are valuable today and utterly worthless tomorrow.” In all the complaints that are made, it is clear that the fault does not lie with the clerks, but- with the higher-ups who cut down the force until the mail cannot be handled in time to make the train connections necessary for expeditious transpor. tation. The conclusion of the Har­ risburg Telegraph is one in which most publishers will concur: "An occasional fUsh of intelli­ gence instead of the customary stu­ pidity, and the replacing of efficien­ cy for the inefficiency now so gen­ eral throughout the department, would be refreshing and beneficial:” Mr. Business Man !

Wbat Davie Mothers Can Do Nobody knows what it means to have a sick child like the mother, tnerefore I am asking the mothero of this county, especially, to co-op­ erate with me, their county quar­ antine officer, an $ by all wort tug together, to keep down those pre­ ventable diseases like, whooping cOugh, measles, scarlet fever and diptheria, as far as is possible. Some old fashioned mothers used to believe that whooping congh and measles were like taxes, jnst had to come, and the sooner they • ‘came and went,” the_ better/ But now mothers know different. Theyknow that even if children should have these diseases when they grow /up it goes less hard with them then; and they are more likely to recover without defects and impairments. W hy, when a mother’s baby, has measles if it is less than five years old, she never knows whether it is going to be left blind,, deaf, lame, or with weakeued heart or kidneys, for: life. The safest plan is to take no- • hances with any ol these eo called' children’s diseases. Children dp not have to have them, and wbyr not protect them? / f Some of the things mothers., pan do to keep down whooping cough-, measles, scarlet fever, infantile paralysis and diptheria : in their homes and communities are,? first,, to suspect tho disease aurf keep home the children having/the first ►ymptoms, such as sore throat or head colds, particuleriy if any con­ tagious disease8 is in the com­ munity. Second, in case no pby. siciao Is called to attend the child, t he m other should see that the die. easp is. TCported'? at once to the county quarantine officer who will then tell her.w hat to do and how to Treat the case. The law/requires h.er to d o -■ this.

Relief 8hip^-Properfy Loss Will Run Far Into Millions, HaUfaxl N. S.—With the- toll of dead steadily mounting, it was believ­ ed that more than 2,000 persons' per­ ished in the explosion and fire which followed the cpllision in Halifax har­ bor between a munitions-Iaden French ship arid another vessel, the ioma,. loaded with supplies for the Belgian reUef commission. • The disaster, which has plunged- the Dominion into mourning probably; will rank as the most fearful that .-ever occurred on the American continent. Residents of Halifax and thousands of volunteer relief workers who havcf come into the city hav been almost dazed at the extent of the horror. ‘ 'Temporary morgues have been es­ tablished in many buildings to which a steady procession of vehicles, of all kinds carried for hours the bodies, of men, women and children. Most of- them were so charred that they.were; unrecognizable. Thousands of persons, seeking trace .of relatives and friends, passed by the long, silent rows,-at­ tempting to identify the ones they' sought. Virtually every building-in the city' which could be converted-into a hosv pital is filled with wounded, many: of- them so desperately injured that there, is no hope of their recovery. Scores already have died' In these tempo-' rary hospitals, An everdncreaslng number is being taken from the com­ pletely devastated Richmpnd district to the relief station. . The flame-swept.-area., covers ap­ proximately two and one-half, square' miles, It begins at what is known as the North street bridge - extending north to Pier 8 on the: Richmond, water front and back to .a point running par­ allel with Gottingen street. Nothing has been left standing in this section of the: city. Only a pile of smoulder­ ing ruins . marks the spot ,where the great building' of the American Sugar Refining Company, stood. fThe dry dock'and all the buildings which sur­ rounded" ft-were destroyed. Ku the west and northwest ends the- daimage was more extensive and there the walls, of . many houses were blown to bits. Tt was in Richmond, however, opposite the "scene of the explosion, that the. havoc; was greatest. Whole blocks of .dwellings, most • of frame construction, were Ieyeled. Street af- fiter street, is In ruins and the struc­ tures which were' left standing by the explosion vtere-destroyed by fires which broke out simultaneouly in a. score of.places and which it was' im­ possible to check until.they had:bum- ed themselves oiit' It is' believed scores of persons who had been in­ jured by the collapse of their homes perished in the flames.: from which they were helpless ot .flee.. -.... Five minutes after the explosion the streets in all parts of Halifax were filled with frenzied, panic-strick­ en throngs striving to reach the out­ skirts In a neffort to escape what! they believed was a raid by German fleet.. Hundreds.of them had been cut. by the shower of glass which followed the explosion. Defy Description. In the Richmond section the scenes enacted defied description. Seriously injured men and women crawled from the wreckage of their homes and lay in the streets until they were remov­ ed In ambulances and automobiles to hospitals. Those less seriously hurt aided those more gravely injured. In the streets piled high with debris were found the shattered bodies of many women and children. Several children were crushed to death when they w^re hurled against telegraph poles by tne force of the explosion. The Richmond school, which housed hundreds of children, was demolish­ ed and it is reported only three es­ caped. Canadian officers who have seen long service in -France characterize the catastrophe as "the most fearful which has befallen any city in the world.” ................. ■ Virtually all the north end of the city was laid waste and the property damage will run far into the millions. A. part ofthe town '-of Dartmouth, -across the harbor from Halifax, also was wrecked. Nearly all the build­ ings in the dockyard there are In ruins. The business life of the city had just begun for the day when the town was shaken to its foundations by the explosion. Persons in the streets were picked up .bodily and burled to the ground. Occupants of office build­ ings Covered under a shower of fall­ ing glass and plaster. Houses In the rIichjriond section crumpled up and -ollapsed. burying their tenants. In the main part, of the city where the' buildings are chiefly of Btone or -oncrete'.the damage was confined to the shattering of windows and most the casualties In this section were riaused by flying glass.

OtJR village paper had Issued a very creditable Christmas edition. I was, looking over the news sec­ tion by the front window. My wife sat near, absorbed In the story part. '1Whatis that?” she asked, listening. She was always on the lookout for more eggs. What she heard certainly did sound like a hen announcing the arrival of one-twelfth of a dozen. “That," I answered, 11Is Ezra Barn­ stable In a state of amusement.” We looked through the window, and, sure enough, here he came down the street, an expansive smile illuminat­ ing bis mooniike face. 11What on earth can • the • man be laughing so about all alone 7’ my wife wanted to know. She was that way— never content to let a man be happy unless she knew the reason why. So I went to the door and sang out to Ezra, “Isn’t It kind of stingy to en­ joy it all by yourself?” When he had unwound the wool tip­ pet from his neck and taken the rock­ ing chair which the missis had set be­ fore the fireplace for him he leaned back and cut gashes In the atmos­ phere with another flourish of his Sharp cachlnnatlons. 1Tve heard o’ Santa Claus playin' tricks before now,” laid he, “but I don’t guess he ain’t never played none no funnier than this. 1Tt was like this: Three, four days ago my boy Chet’come home with a rabbit—one o* them big white critters with the pink eyes—-that he’d swapped off one o’ his mittens to the one armed Mayhew boy fer. When he come In, luggln’ the thing In his arms, his. ma ast him whose It was, an’ he said It was his’n an* Its name was Jimmy an’ Eddie Mayhew give It to him. 111Them Mayhew boys ain’t glvin’ nothin’ away fer nothin’,” says she. rWhatid you give him fer it?’ 11Chet knowed he was cornered, so he owned up that he’d give Eddie one o’ his wool mittens. 1J don’t never wear but one much anyhow,’ says he, ’an’, besides, Eddie's a poor, one armed boy, an’ his hand was cold, an’ it was coinin’ Chris’mus.’ “I seen the look In his ma’s eye, an’ I felt sorry fer Chet, so I says, 1Chet,' says I, severe-like, 'you come to the barn along of me,' like I was goln’ to Uck him. “That satisfied his ma. So Chet an’ me went to the barn an’ made a box to keep the !rabbit In. I.knowed tlie thing’d freeze to death If he kep’ it anywheres but In the house, an' I knowed his ma wouldn’t listen to his doin’ that, so I puts him up to gitti.n* rid of it by Invltin’ his Cousin Artie over fer Chris’mus an’ givln’ It to him fer a Chris’mus present. - “Artie, you know,” Ezra explained, “Is my wife’s brother’s boy. You re­ member my wife’s brother, Dan Baker, over In Center township, the one that died an’ left a wldder with eight chll- dem? 11Waal, when Chet told his ma what he was goln* to do she said he could keep the rabbit in the attic till Chris’­ mus an’ pot a minute longer. So- he writ to Artie, an" this mornin’ bright an’ early here comes the hull family— Mis’ Baker an’ the hull eight childern. “Chet, he hadn’t even, got up yet, but I rousted him out, an’ when he come down he tolt Artie about the Jimmy rabbit he was goln’ to give him. Then Mis’ Baker chips In an’ says she never ’lows one o’ her children to accept presents unless all the. others gits the same thing. - 1It makes the others Jeal­ ous,’ says she, 'an’ creates dissensions.’ “I seen trouble cornin’ to Chet In flocks an’ herdis an’ I says to myself they's jest one way to settle this thing. You know, If you give a rabbit a Uttle cuff on the back of his neck he never knows what Mt Mm. So I sneaks up to the attic, but ole Santa Claus had got there ahead o’ me.” Ezra rocked back and let out a few more staccato notes of merriment. “What had happened?" my wife gsked. “Wait’tiU I tell you,” said Ezra. 1T called .Chet to :come up quick, an’ he come a-runnln’. 1Look here,’ says I to Mm, 'you give the eight little ones to the chUdren an' the old one to Mis* Baker. If you do it nice she can’t Refuse ’em, ’specially when the little fatbits needs the services of Jimmy fer awMIe yiti’ So Chet he lugged, the hull box o’ rabbits downstairs an* made sech aelokent presentin’ speech that the wldder couldn’t do nothin’ -but thank him an' take the hull mess home With her." » ; Christmas Gite yj-f BE joy that's horn of Christmas /. gif tg is not within themselves Of you or I could pick our joys from any merchant’s shelves And you could huy more■ costly things than ever I could give, And though no friend should come your way contented you could live. Yet some poor trinket rich becomes and treasure to the end Because it is the symbol of a true and loyal friend. The thing is nothing as it lies upon a merchant's shelf, Attd scarce a thought you’d give to it for what it is itself. There may be thousands like, it round about you everywhere, But let a friend bring it to you and straightway it is rare. - For something of that friend into his simple gift is wrought And it becomes a precious thing—a token of a thought. We ‘are a sentimental clan, we fight and strive for gold, Yet treasures which we closest guard are never bought or sold; The things we value most are not the gems our money buys. But all those sweet and lovely things . that memory bids us prize. ■ The faded slippers of a babe not in themselves are dear, But in the thoughts they bring, to us of one no longer here. And so it is with Christmas gifts, ’tis friends Who make them rare, The trifle that with IovaHs rich has worth beyond compare; The moment that it passes from some friendly hand to you It has assumed a value that before it never knew. And what teas common in itself is now beyond all price Becauseit represents to yousome good ■friend’s sacrifice. The Christmas Rose. IT was In Ireland I heard the beau­ tiful legend of the Christmas rose, says a writer In the PhiladelpMa Ledger. When the great night came and the dark skies were suddenly Il­ luminated with the lights, of heaven the shepherds, gathering, together their offering, went with haste to find hlm who had come to be the Light of the world. Great rough men, full of sim­ ple faith, they were, and each carried a little iamb In his arms to lay at the feet of the Good Shepherd. But among them was one wee lad who had no gift AU Ms life long he had heard of the Messiah who was to come. The earth was full of'rumors that the time was near at hand, and lying out on the hillside under the deep blue sky he had dreamed dreams of that day,; picturing himself close to Mm In nlhny roles. And nbw that the moment was come he raced along, Ms tiny legs finding it hard work to keep up with the swift strong stride of the men. . ' So full of excitement was he that no thought of Seifsentered Into his mind. But as he came to the cave, saw the bright star sbiplng above.and heard the songs of the angels he noticed his empty hands. How could he go Into the presence of the newborn King when he had notMng to lay at his feet -he who would so willingly lay down his very life for hlm! He crept close to the opening, and, kneeling down In the cold white snow, he wept as though his little heart would break. And, lo, the warm tears melted away the hard snow, and from beneath there sprang up the first Christmas rose, the fruit of a Uttle boy’s love for the Christ CMldt The Good Old Customs.

Christmas comes but once a year, and when it comes it makes us all klp and more or- less kind. It is a truly happy festival, the time when we best under­ stand what home means, the children’s feast, when the old grow young again. A happy Christmas, then, to all. —:--------:-------i-------- ‘ I Christmas Carols at Nantucket The custom of • singing Christmas carols In the streets 'still obtains at Nantucket BJvery Christmas eve the school children march through the old cobbled streets of the town and sing their sopgs. All the ancient houses are Illuminat­ ed with candles In .the windows, and the children always Stop and serenade their favorites. It Is- very pretty to. hear them, and they never forget to ring for what they call, the “shut Ins” —the folks who are ill and unable to Ret out and join the festivities.

We cannot picture it without.seeing the spangled Christmas tree girt with the faces of gleeful youngsters, glad parents and happy bodies, returned home from town or far metropolis.

Christmas comes all the year. Christ-’ mas Is giving. Christmas Is losing one’s life and finding it again In the heart of another. • Wherever we find good will, humnnl-' ty, fellow feeling, there we find a heart, celebrating Christmas. The most dell-' cate pleasures of Christmas spring from "the gifts we make . to others, from the happiness we can impart to others, - from the abandonment of ourselves to! another’s joy. - The more utterly we lose ourselves In the lives of others the more we are keeping Christmas. The losing of our own life, to find it In another, is for-! ever the Christmas token. It was of this the herald angels song. It was-this the good shepherds wor- sMped. ’ And this Is the best way of spending Christmas. - Origin Of the Carol. Glory‘ to God In 'the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men;—Luke 2:14. Such was the first carol, sung, by the holy angels amid the thrilling scene so vividly described by the evangeilsL This song is happily used In the com­ munion service as the opehtdg of “Gloria In 'ExCelsIs Deo.” The word carol seems to be derived from the Italian- verb earolare—to sing—Imply­ ing, a joy song, an outburst of exuber-, nnce. In the time of Chaucer, who f!!cd in 1400, Oils word usually meant simultaneous. dancing and singing. Gradually its secular origin was be­ clouded, .and nowadays a carol general­ ly means a Christmas song of thanks­ giving, though there, were formerly not only Easter carols, but also winter and even summer carols.—Living Ohurchl m a s T B Y C H A R L E S S . PEASE (Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Unlom, A F course you want to know at ones \_ J how a Christmas tree can be any '. more real than the one you had last year, so I shall explain that the tree Ralph and Rhoda had by accident one winter was rooted in the ground In the Lake Superior woods. First you must be told that the town children up there had the good times In both summer and winter, but the miners’ boys and girls had the hard times all the year around, and that’s the reason why mother said to Ralph and Rhoda the day before Christmasi “I don’t see how you two are going to have a happy holiday when the chil­ dren up at the mines do not expect to have apy tree at alL How would yon like to go up the mountain and take them a lot of presents and things? You can get back before dark. I will telephone the mine 'captain that you are coming.” “Just the very thing,” said the chit- dren. And away they went soon after with a sled loaded with everything you can think of for a jolly Christmas, just lots of gifts and royal trimmings for & tree. They were making good time along the mountain side when Rhoda stum­ bled over a root. When she tried to stand up again her ankle would -not work. Of course Rhoda would not hear of leaving the miners’ children’s “Christ­ mas” In the snow and coasting back home. So Ralph went back to the Halfway store for some help, but the place was locked-and barred. Before they decided on what to do next a flock of the mine children cnme racing down the road. It seemed as though the tele­ phone message had emptied the settle­ ment of youngsters. “We’ve come to help take the 'Christ­ mas’ up the mountain. It’s a hard pull farther along,” they explained. When they found that Rhoda was hurt they wanted to take her home, but she wouldn’t listen to a word of It “I’m going right up to see that tree properly trimmed and hung with these things,” announced that young lady and, being of the sturdy nnd determin­ ed kind, tried to forget the pain. So the, swiftest runners of the mine boys started back to get a sled to can ry'Rhoda to the summit. Before the ambulance corps could re­ turn, down came one of those howling blizzards so dreaded in the rough northern country, and there was noth­ ing for It but to retreat and take refuge In the Halfway store. Tliis old log bouse proved a hard nut to crack, but Ralph finally managed to get In through a, rear window and soon had n roaring fire going In the big stove. The plucky lads got back from the moun­ tain, and everybody thanked his lucky stars to ' be safe and warm. Out- side the storm roared and the trees bent low In the gale. AU the evening Rhodg stood the ache bravely and said It was nothing, but Mary Martha Mur­ phy knety better. When all was qmet she brought a pail of water so hot that Rhoda squealed when her nurse pit the swollen ankle Into It, and these two girls, bne who had a lovely home and rich furs and many other nne tMngs and the little poor girl with a warm Irish heart, sat up till “all h0“rSj_ During the night the storm turned rain and then- It been^e cold, so very cold that the forest was covered wiw an icy coat.

Our meals are to be served privately, and the lady Is not to be addressed by any. one of you.” “My Gnwd,” "exclaimed a muffled voice, “you don’t want much! Who ate you, the czar of Russia ?” “I am the rightful captain of this- ship,” I returned StlfBy1 “and the only man on board capable of navigating her. Tou can accept my terms, or leave them; and those are not all. McCann, I am talking to you, not that sea scum.” “All right; go ahead. What else?” “I am to retain this revolver for protection, and the key to my state­ room; Miss Carrington Is also to re­ tain her key. When you men desert ship, which I know you plan to do, the Indian Chief is to be left In sea­ worthy condition. That’s all.” “Enough, I should think. You must consider your services Indispensable. However, I accept the terms, providing you agree to do what we ask in re­ turn.” “That T navigate the ship to within fifty miles of St. Johps; notify you when we reach that point, and give you correct sailing directions.” “That is what we want.” “Good; I accept. Take yonr men out of the cabin.” I stood motionless, still gripping the revolver in one hand, listening to catch every sound the other side of the closed door. There was a muttered discussion, the words mostly Inaudible, although I heard enough to convince me that McCann was urging accept­ ance of my conditions on the ground that It would be impossible for me, alone, and under surveillance, to add to their danger. Some words were added In so low a tone as to fall to reach toy ear, but whatever they were, they evoked ■ a laugh, and seemed t° restore the dissatisfied to better, mor. Liverpool took sides witb Mc­ Cann In the dispute, and the V*o unit­ ed must have prevailed, for the men finally dispersed, and we ^ould hear their heavy sea boots -Tamping up the stairs.1 , Relieved of the str&n, I turned to meet the questioning,.eyes of the girl. “That—that was better than'fight­ ing—wasn’t It?” Sltf asked almost anx­ iously.“Yes; I lost head for the mo­ ment, and couK only think of reaching deck, and shirting an alarm, to the cruiser.” / - “ii was /oo late for that.” ' “Yes; Ae know It was now, and probabl/ I would never have reached there /live.

The lives of none of the rest of us would weigh much in the calculation.” “And you think my life does?” "Undoubtedly. McCann is a villain by nature; he was born .with criminal instincts, which have . no wise been changed by the possession of wealth. But he is fully awake to the peril of his position. The fellow is a coward back of all his bluff, and I do not think his criminal-instincts are bloodthirsty. But he has drifted Into a desperate situation, from which he must,extri­ cate himself at any cost.” “You mean—oh, not that?” “I mean,there Is but one sure solu­ tion—dead men tell no tales.” CHAPTER XXI. A Plan to Save Ourselves. She stood with hands clasped, and parted lips, her eyes wide open with- unconcealed horror, for the moment unable to utter a word. “You—you actually think that, Mr. Hollis? You mean he would be willing to—to murder all on board to protect himself?” “If assured such e.n act would bring safety, I do not believe he would hesi­ tate at even that crime. To be per­ fectly plain, Miss Vera, it Is my judg­ ment that your presence on board pre­ sents the only problem unsolved.” “My presence I Why, he has no cause to fear me. No one knows where I am. If I never appeared alive again, not a isoul could ever account for my disappearance.” “True, and probably McCann Is fully aware of these conditions. But he wishes you alive, not dead. That is what makes the problem.” She crossed the narrow space of deck, and grasped my coat In her fin­ gers. r “Oh I this is too terrible I He—he cannot imagine it possible—” ■ “And why not?” I interrupted. “He Is all-powerful on board. He judges the virtue of others by his own stand­ ard. He dreams that you might even make that bargain to preserve life.” “That I would marry him?” “Marriage would seal your lips; would win him safety,, and also your subjugation and wealth. It Is a stake worth playing for, surely.” : “And the others? What would- be the fate of you and the others If I made that hateful bargain?” • “In no way different, I -Imagine, from what It will be if you refuse,” I said soberly—and my hand closed on hers. “McCann has no intention that we shall ever put foot on shore. He would be a fool to permit such a thing.” “You think it all planned out?" “In detail; McCann, Liverpool and White know exactly what they Intend doing. Their questioning of me, and their scrutiny of the chart, convinces me of this. I even relieve now I could name the other men of the crew who will be In their boat, when ;they'aban­ don ship—IWgan1 Dubois, Sachs and the negro. Watson, with perhaps two others I am not so sure of. Why, Miss Vera, ^ou heard what I was compelled to essent to a moment ago. I am to pffot the Indian Chief to within fifty 'miles of the harbor of St. Johns; tim­ ing our arrival at that point to some hour of the alght I am to give Mc­ Cann notice of our arrival there, and furnish him with exact sailing direc­ tions to complete the course. This means that the crew expect to aban­ don the ship there, and take to the boats. There are enough remaining in good condition—and just enough— to carry them all, but the Indian Chief will be left with none to rescue those of us who are left on board In case of accident to the vessel.” “And you. anticipate accident?" “I believe the ship will be deserted In an unseaworthy condition—either with her bottom pierced, or her sea­ cocks open; and that those of us left aboard will be so confitied as to be practically helpless to save the vessel from going down.”“And the men In the boats will get ashore, scatter and never be heard from again. Ko one will ever learn what became of the Indian Chief, or that we were aboard?" “The French cruiser will report hav­ ing spoken" us at sea. That will be the last word. The truth Vf111 never be made dear. Our fate will be> anoth­ er sea mystery, 'never explained.” “Some of the crew might talk'Iater— In liquor.” ,“There is always that danger, and McCann Is farsighted enough to guard against It as far as possible. The boats will easily become separated In the darkness. If the others are ever picked up, it will be accidentally by some ship at sea—and there are al­ most no ships In this ocean. There are few flaws in the plan, as I have figured out.”She did not answer, her eyes on my face, her expression exhibiting the horror she felt at this vivid picture which I had drawn. Then she slowly, gently withdrew her hand from my grasp, sinking into a chair, her head bent forward. “You—you really believe they actu­ ally plan to do all this?” she asked at last. “And what—what about me? You suggested that—that marriage might save me from this fate. Do you think so IlJ of me as to imagine I would ever consent to such a bargain?” “What I may Imagine has nothing to do with the case, Miss Vera. My thought, and that of Fergus McCann, is not liable to be the same on any subject. The only hope he can have of ever winning you Is through threat. He possesses power and can assail you with deadly peril. It is my belief that he contemplates doing so.” “That he will offer me choice of marriage with him, or death?” “Yes; it will not be put In just so brutal a form, for the fellow has a certain polish over his villainy, but it will mean that.” “Loan me the revolver." “For what purpose?” “To kiirthe brute, If ever he dares such a proposal. Mr. Hollis, I would die before • I would ever permit his touch! Marry him to save my life! Why, I am so ashamed I cannot look you In the face; cannot even find words to express my detestation of such a suspicion.” I stepped forward, and my' hand gently rested on the bowed shoulder. “My dear girl,” I said earnestly, "look at me, and believe my words. Lift your eyes; I want you to read the truth In my heart. It Is not your life alone; It is mine also, and the lives of nearly all the others aboard, which are at stake. For the sake of us all I am going to ask of you a sac­ rifice.” There had been a mist of tears In the uplifted eyes, but as I paused this had vanished. “A sacrifice?” she stammered. “That I marry that man?” “God forbid! No; but that you en­ courage him to think - it possible.” “Oh, I could not—I could not! Do not ask that of me.” • “But listen,” I urged eagerly, forget­ ful of all else in the earnestness of my plea. "Vera, listen before you make decision. The only possible hope lies in the freedom of one of us aboard. I can so juggle figures as to keep the ship safely at sea for another day and night, but no longer.“Someone ‘must be free to act and plan. I cannot, nor any of those men confined amidships. By winning Mc­ Cann’s confidence; by seeming to yield to his desires, you will be allowed free­ dom on board. You can demand It as the price of your surrender. All else must depend on your woman’s wit.” “But—but could I convince the man of my sincerity? I - I detest him so.” “He will want to be convinced; your mere consent will satisfy him. You must not look at this from your stand­ point He is conceited and cowardly. To save his own life he would be guilty of any treacherous act. He will judge you by his standards. There will be no necessity for any pretense at love; you need not even permit'him to touch you. Merely allow him to believe that fear makes you an unwil­ ling victim.” “You—you actually wish me to do this—play this hideous part?” “Only because of our desperate sit­ uation; we must fight with the only weapon- at hand. * There is no other "I Could Not—Do Not Ask That of Me.” course open. The one thing I have in mind is—someone on board free to re­ lease the prisoners immediately after the boats leave, in time-to enable us to prevent the ship’s going down.” “But—but, Mr. Hollis, would-r-would he not insist upon my going with him in the boat?” I walked twice across the narrow space of the deck, conscious that her questioning eyes followed me. "Yes,” I admitted, pausing to study her face. “You might even-be obliged to do that. You must front this pos­ sibility, although the necessity may be avoided. But McCann’s boat will make St. Johns. He dare not resort to force once you are ashore. I do not count that a serious danger—only he must not suspect your purpose until too late to prevent his interfering with yonr action. Nor will you be unsafe with him In the open boat, for the two of you will not be alone. Your great­ est peril will be while aboard this ship, and completely In McCann's power.” “The open boat will not be long at sea?" “Not to exceed a few; hours prob­ ably; IJverpool and White are seamen enough to see that it is equipped with a sail, and If the wind be favorable, they will make land quickly. But there is even a chance that you need not take this risk.” “What chance?” the full measure of her emotions finding evidence In her voice. “If Leayord or Olson could be se­ cretly released, or even if you could be assured that I was free to attain the deck at the proper moment, and thus-able to release these others, we might best play a bold game. By urg­ ing some excuse you could delay leav­ ing the ship until after all the muti­ neers were over the side, and in the boats. McCann might remain on board with you, but he would be only one man to handle. Once we had cbntrol of the ship, we could defend the decks, and prevent those ruffians from return­ ing on board, at least until they sur­ rendered all arms, and agreed to such terms as we offered.” “That—that would be a most despe­ rate expedient,” she said dejectedly, “its success doubtful. You would be terribly outnumbered, and without weapons.” “I do not see It so. Outnumbered, yes; but with every advantage of po­ sition. Those fellows could not clam­ ber up the side, unless it be one at a time. Besides, the major part of the crew are. doubtless mutineers against their will, and would be glad enough to return to duty if promised protec­ tion. I doubt if there be three revolv­ ers on board. I have one of these, and McCann carries another. Beally the plan looks feasible to me.” She arose and crossed over to the open port, gazing out in silence across the waste of waters, the wind lifting strands of her ruffled hnlr. She re­ mained/there motionless so long I be­ came impatient. “Have you no answer to make?” I questioned at'last. “You think the scheme impracticable?” ‘ “No; it is not that,” but without changing posture or glancing about, and I felt there was a deadness In her voice, far from encouraging. “But— but I do not like the part assigned to me.” “You fear you might find it difficult to carry out the deceit?” She turned and faced me, and there were tears in her ej-es, which she swept Indignantly away with a swift gesture. “You have used the right word,” she exclaimed, no longer hesitating in speech. “I am not accustomed to de­ ceit,' Mr. Hoilis; I have never learned how to He, or conceal my true feelings. I am not afraid physically; it is not that; but you ask me to permit this fellow to make love to me, and I am to encourage his hopes, and pretend to yield to his advancements. Yoii ask me to lower my womanhood, to take my place on a level with a girl of the streets, and pretend to sell my­ self for a price. Is this your concep­ tion of my character?" It was as though she had slapped me In the face, yet I was ready,' half anticipating she might assume this po­ sition. “No; but I believe you willing to sacrifice your conception of what or­ dinarily seems right to save this ship, and the lives of those aboard; to pre­ serve Philip Bascom’s fortune. There need be no love making, no pretense at loye. You seemingly yield to force, surrender to fear; that would be,the only way In which-McCann would’ ex­ pect to gain your consent.” “You—you wish me to do this?” “It appears to me as our only hope.” “And if I do, you will not despise me? You will not feel my action un­ womanly?" “I feel that of you! Never; why, it would be impossible for mb to con­ ceive of your acting unworthily!” She held out her hand. “Then I will try," she said simply, her eyes uplifted to mine. CHAPTER XXII. Words of Love. : My hand-clasp tightened, and the long laahes shaded her eyes, conceal­ ing from me • the mystery of their depths, a brighter color flooding her cheeks. Outlined against the open port, and the blue of the water beyond, the fresh young beauty of her face was almost a new revelation. The words she had spoken, her manner, her sud­ den surrender to my wish, perplexed me, and completely overcame my ef­ fort at self-control. “Why did you ask me that?” I ques­ tioned, scarcely aware of my words. “What?” : “H I wetld despise7 on; would Seem your act unwomanly?" “Because—because I had to know. It does not even yet seem right to me— altogether. I—I c«uld not do sncb S thing unless you approved.” "Yon hare faith in me,, then?" “Yes—yes; I—I believe In yon.” “And yon mean yon would have re­ fused to take sucb action if I had not urged it upon you, and Iiad failed to assure yon that doing so would In no way: lower my respect for you?” Her eyes flashed up questioning!/ into my face, only to be instantly low* ered again. “Yes.”- "Not even to save your own life?” "I have always felt there were con­ ditions more to be dreaded than death,” she answered'Slowly. "Mere association, such as you describe this adventure to be, with Fergus McCann, may not be such a condition—yet I shrink from it. I have chosen my course, not because it may preserve my life, but for the sake of the others helpless on board this miserable ves­ sel; because of the crippled man- locked In his own cabin; because of the mother, praying for him in Phila­ delphia.- Oh! Mr. Hollis, can you not understand?” “Vera, why do you question me like this? Why should you hesitate, doubt, when you realize, as you must, that only through you, and your power over McCann, Philip Bascom’s life and for­ tune can be saveH?" “Because I would not save them at the cost of your respect.” “Mine! You think that of me?” “Yes," she said, and now her eyes met mine frankly. “I think that of you, Robert Hollis.” This avowal, quietly, honestly spo­ ken, sent the hot blood tingling through- my veins, yet left me for the I DRAIN TILE c m - LE T U S SU BM IT P R IC E S C O L U M B IA CLAY C O .

I could not, dare not hope that her words meant all they seemed to mean. .She must have ( read the bewilderment in my face, for she did not hesitate. “I realize how yon have looked upon me from the time of our first meeting on the dark deck of the Esmeralda,” she said, her emotion evidenced only by a tremor in the soft yolce. “I have been to you a mere girl. No; do not interrupt with dentals, for it Is better I' should go on. But I am not a child; I think and feel as a woman; indeed, I have cause to believe' that my life- lonely and without companion of my own age—has made me older In expe­ rience than my years. Why do I con­ fess this? Because I believe the time has come when you should know. I am going to carry oOt your.desire; I am going to outwit Fergus McCann, and overcome his villainy. I am going to lower myself; renounce my ideals, for your sake." “Mine! oh, no; yon cannot mean that—there are others." “Yes, there are others. I sympathize with, and am glad to serve them. Yet their fate alone—even my own peril— would never have led me to make this decision. I trust you, and am willing." “You care, actually care that much for me?” “Is there any disgrace, any'unworn- anliness in' saying so? We are In des­ perate stress, all of us. Even death may be but a few hours away. This Is no situation to be ruled by social con­ ventions, or lack of frankness In speech. I do care for you, Robert Hol­ lis;' you would have known it longer ago if you were not blind In such things. You have cared for me ever since we were in the boat together. Is this not so?" “Yes, but I never thought—” 4 “Of course not; you are not the sort of man who would. You have not made a life study of women; perhaps that Is why I trust you so thoroughly. If—if you had made love to me, Rob­ ert Hollis, I would have laughed at you ; but—but now I do not feel like laughing at all." “You do love me I' You—you love me?” ■ ' “Oh, you mustn’t compel me-to say that I - It is enough Ko confess I care; that I am interested.

Any hen. can lay In the spring, but the one which , lays through the winter deserves reo- , ognition by promotion to the breeding flock... I Everything is to be gained and noth- ’ Ing lost by selecting breeding hens dur- ' Ihg winter; It is easy to select the Iayr , Ing hen. Her comb Is bright .,and red : and her pin bones'will be Spvead apart. Hens meeting these qualifications should.be set apart, with a good, vig- 1 orous male bird. It is folly to breed from the entire flock. By selecting n' few of the best birds, progress will be made. Where no selection is practiced, the poor producers will be-used for ; breeding, for even loafers will lay In ' the spring. It is also a mistake to breed from the Immature and under­ sized stock. Overfat, coarse-boned bens or those which drop behind j should never be put In the breeding ; pen. The best place for them is on the table. Pick out the good birds'and note the improvement. Use fewer males so that you can afford better stock. • BOSCHEE’B GERMAN SYRUP1 '" Why use-"ordinary 'cough’ remedies, when Boschee’s German Syrup Was beehmsed so successfully for fifty-one years In all parts of the United States for coughs, bronchitis, colds settled In the throat. especlally. lung troubles.

The question of the place of resi der.ce of the testator is one of the important issues in the case. Defen- dents claim that W. A. Bailey was resident of Davie county, and a true will was filed there; while pe­ titioner states that testator resided for two years prior to his death in Buncombe county; that the will should have been filed there.

Real winter weather struck this section the first of the week. The thermometer registered 12 above zero Sunday morning and 8 above on Monday morning. High winds be­ coming almost a gale, added to the unpleasantness on Saturday and Sun­ day, nights. Tuesday morning the m ercury dropped to 9 above zero.. ; The heating plant at the graded school failed to work right Monday- and the school was dismissed* before noon for the day. Some of the little folks came very near freezing. If ..we remember correctly, the • furnace did not give satisfaction last year, and much complaint was made • by the children; during cold snaps. ; A well-heated, well-ventilated building is essential to the health of the stu dents. If Ihe old furnace is no good the school, board should have it torn out and a new one put. in. The life of one child cannot be estimated . in dollars and cents. / Some Big Hogs.

For some reason one of the wires along the line of the Southern Power' Company became detaclied from the moorings, running down an iron pole to the ground. 1The ground was surcharged with , elec­ tricity and when Frank rode along oii his mule, the animal became frac­ tious at. once rearing and bellowing, linaliy falling, to the earth, where it writhed until death claimed him. Frank was fortunate enough' to es­ cape the. shock although he was awfully unnerved. 'T he. antics of the poor dying .mule attracted quite a number of people and for . a brief while the people who had gathered could not determine just:, what, the? matter was. The foreman o f'Jhe power construction force was soon on the scene. "Matters have been adjusted with Frank for -his mule and the carcass of Uie unsuspecting animal now rests beneath the clay.

Many im­ portant events have occurred during the past twelve months. One year ago our people were at peace with all the world. Today we are at war with Germany and Austria, and On the brink of declaring war with one or two other countries^ No one can tell when the war wilt cease, but we are all yearning for the dawn of peace.; When any nation or people wander away and forget God, they are made to suffer. This has been the case Mnce the children of Israel were given their first King. So long as the rulers and the people looked to the great King for guidance, the conntry prospered, but when they departed and went after strange gods, trouble begun. W hatwas true in olden times is true today The sins of the nations beyond the Seap is. responsible for the great coiifiict that is pow raging—the greattetand bloodiest war that the world has ever known Qr will ever witness^: a- gaio. Germany has determined to conquor the world, but this she can never do/ for right is might and will prevail; Turkey and Austrjaycaa- not hope to dominate the Christian- '.Sed wbrld, for God-has'said .that all h a I should not prevail against his Churchr-his people. We are going 1» win this war, with the help of our friends across the: sea with whom we are battling for life and liberty. Many of :our . boys will spend this Christinas in the Fralch trenches— uianyare in the various training camps throughout the country pre­ paring to go across and face the for­ eign floe. Many of them will hot re­ turn te .us as they went away, so let us remember our khaki-clad boys as lie holiday season passes by, and pray tflat the time may soon come when there will be no necessity for nation to rise up against nation— when all the world may dwell to­ gether in peace and harmony. .v “And there W ereinthe same coun­ try shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. ; "And 16, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord ishone round about them: and they jwere sore afraid. “And the angel said unto them. ^hgfedfeibring you ((joi tfdings oftg ^g jb y , which shall all p e o p l e ,^ ,ji*for unto^ou is born this day in the citKof Ditvid , a Saviour, which IlC hristtheL ord • “And-.lhis shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall 'find the. babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger,.

WAR MISSION IS HOME FROM ITS EUROPEAN TRIP Because Russia Has Quit and Gone Into Revolution and America, is Just Joming In^-Every Passing Hour is Brighter. London.—That steady progress' to­ wards the desired goal is being made by the allies, despite some untoward occurrences, is the firm conviction of Premier Lloyd George, ne declared. It is because of this fact, the pre­ mier said, that he would regard peace overtures to Prussia at the moment when her military spirit was drunk with boastfulness as a betrayal of the trust of himself and his 'colleages. The premier’s, words were: ’■'r “It is because I am firmly convinc­ ed that despite some untoward events, despite discouraging appearances' we are making steady progress toward the goal that' I would regard peace. over­ tures to Prussia at the very moment the Prussian military spirit is drunk with boastfulness as a .betrayal Of the great trust" with which my colleagues and myself have been charged.” It Russia persists in her present policy, the premier pointed out, the withdrawal by the enemy from the east of a-third, of his troops must re­ lease hundreds of thousands of men and masses if material to attack Great Britain, BYance and Intaly. America Is In. “if the Russian democracy has de­ cided to abandon the struggle against military autocracy the American de­ mocracy is taking it up.” -Germany’s victories were emblaz­ oned to the world, the .premier said, but her troubles did not apepar in bulletins. Something was known of them however. The deadly grip of the Brltish-navy was having its effect and the valor of the -tropps was. making an impression which would tell In the end. He said those who during , the past fortnight were organizing a ner­ vous breakdown in the nation were the same as those who recently were organizing an' hys.terickl shout over the Flanders victories. ’ ‘ ' Mr. Lloyd George said he was glad to understand that Lord Lafidsowne’s’ recent letter had been misunderstood , and that. Lord ; Lansdowne was in sympathy'with President Wilson.

Almost id I forgotten where we were, the na- Le of our surroundings, the fate ihich tl'reatened us. I could remem* Ir only her, the velvety touch of her gli, the welcoming light of love in Eer eyes. I know not what we talked tout, conscious only of the joy of inns'nlone together, with every bar- |er between us swept away forever. Ihe sunshine poured In through the ben port, touching her hair with breads of golden light, and leaving bar of brilliance across the state- »om deck. S yet I imagine the respite was not png. There came a sharp rap upon be°'vood of the door, bringing us in- untly back to a realization of our po­ rtion. Her arms released me, and I [rose to my feet. [“What *>’ w anted?” S “It’s a few minutes till noon, sir," Bid a voice I failed to recognize. “And to tell you to come on deck.” 1 “Quite right, my man, I’ll, he there |t »,pce. Stand by to carry the instru- ents.” I “Aye, aye, sir.”I There was a certain cheerfulness Ind respect in the voice, which con­ duced me that the fellow was not iKuig the ringleaders, but the hope making him an adherent to our jiuse vanished when I opened the jour, and recognized Dade. The man pas too weak, too much of a jellyfish, > render his friendship of any particu­ lar value. Besides Dugan was also in he cabin, leaning idly against the jtair-rail, but quite as evidently on uard. I nodded to him, but he only Iondescended to stare in return, and be look in his eyes convinced me that fie had not yet forgiven the rough eatment accorded him a few hours jiefore. The memory made me smile. “I’ve seen you when you looked hap- |»ier, Dugan,” I said carelessly, “but I nngine you have nothing on Jim jRTiite." “To h—I with yer,” he growled sav- hgely. “If I had my way ye’d have no longue Ieff to get smart with. Qet plong now after yer things.” Dade followed me into the captain’s Stateroom. He was obedient enough, W reluctant to talk, no doubt afraid pf being overheard \by Dugan. The conspirators were grouped on he after deck waiting my arrival, and [ followed Dade up the ladder, deter- iined they should perceive no change Bn ray demeanor, which might awaken suspicion. McCann’s manner was far pom Ardlal as I approached, but I hought it best to Ignore his churlish­ ness. “You were long enough coming; per­ haps you still think yourself In com- nand?” he said savagely. "That would indeed be a stretch of ithe imagination,” I replied, holding my !temper, and motioning Dade where to Ipiace the sextant. “However, I do not Sthink I have wasted my time—it Is still |two minutes of twelve.” He growled something, but I busied Imyself with the observation, only ana> iious to make it accurate enough, for Imy own use. Whatever figures I re­ ported, it was absolutely necessary Ithat I know myself the exact position Iof the ship. Nor did I dare to juggle I them greatly In my report, for while IMeCnnn was far from being an expert !navigator, he yet possessed a smatter- I ing o£ knowledge, which rendered him [dangerous, and he was very sure to jclieek up my figures with every care !possible. However, I fooled him by a [point or two, suflicient for my purpose, I and wrote down the result on the back I of an old envelope, while stowing away I the correct figures in my own brain. Although the air was balmy enough, I the wind from the southwest almost I directly in our teeth, yet there was a [look of the north about both sea and I sky, which would have- convinced me I that we were approaching higher Iati- [ hides without the aid of my observa­ tion.

Indeed it was s which interested me the most, this , evidence of floating vapor, for I knew enough of .these seas to sus- j Peet that this might prove the fore- runUer of storm, already preparing to swcrP down upon us out of the more nor: liern mystery. Others must have noted the evidence also, for Liverpool crossed the deck to where I stood, Ieav- Ing McCann with the chart In hishandg, •W hat do yer think o’ that sorter ®‘6t out yonder?’ he asked, Indicating Oniistance a 8weep; of the hands, u striving to make his gruff voice sound friendly. civin may mean n°thing,” I answered 11J enough. “I have never sailed tw 6^ aters’ my guess would be there is a storm brewing to the north of us. What does the barome­ter say?” "A slight drop in the last two hours; nothin’ much yet, but It don’t look good to me.” McCann joined us, the chart still half open. “There seems to be plenty of har­ bors along this Newfoundland coast line,” he said. “Do you know what they are like?" “Only what the map says. The whole coast is rugged and rocky, dan­ gerous for any vessel larger than a fishing schooner, Theje,. are govern­ ment mail boats calling at those smaller towns during the summer months." “How far are we to the north of St. Johns?” “Two hundred and fifty miles, ap­proximately.” "Which makes us about due east of this White bay indicated here?” “Yes; but there is not even the name of a town given; all that country is wilderness, I take it. Why do you ask? I thought you had decided on St. Johns?” “So "we have,” in no pleasant tone, and crumpling up the chart In both hands, “but I thought if there was a more quiet port to the north it might be safer. There are apt to be war­ ships at St. Johns. However, we will keep to that course.” He turned to Liverpool. “Where’s White?” “Forward somewhere." "Have him come aft, and take the deck; It’s time for dinner.” I shall never forget that meal—not the first, but the last time we were all together about the table In the after cabin. Not that anything occurred of special interest to this story, but I doubt if ever a stranger company, un­ der stranger circumstances, was ever gathered together, even at sea. Mc­ Cann rapped at Mlss Carrington’s door, and she received his invitation to join us with a graciousness of man­ ner which must have surprised the man. Liverpool, who sat at the lower end, his untcombed red thatch more conspic­ uous than ever, appeared decidedly 111 at ease, but his presence failed to embarrass the rest of us, or interfere with the game. Dade, at McCann’s orders, helped Philip Bascom from his cabin, and found him a place at Mlss Carrington’s left, directly opposite tffti New Yorker, the two men greeting .each other with a stiff bow. I had not seen Bascom for some days, and could not help being impressed with his ap­ pearance of illness, his face having a positively ghastly look. Yet he seemed equal to the occasion, entering into conversation with the lady, and even occasionally addressing a remark to McCann, who replied in assumed good humor. Wine was served, although previously I had no knowledge of any being on board, and the party devel­ oped into a rather pleasant occasion. . The girl played her part well, and I could read Bascom’s bewilderment as he endeavored to join with them In the same spirit. To relieve his em­ barrassment, I managed to keep up a desultory conversation with him, al­ though my thoughts were busy enough elsewhere, endeavoring to figure out the meaning of all this byplay. It was a decided relief when the party finally broke, up, and McCann conducted the lady back to her stateroom, pausing for a final farewell at the door. CHAPTER XXIII. The Depth of Despair. McCann’s manner changed instantly with the closing of the door, although he indulged in no remark, except to order Liverpool to take charge of the deck, and permit White to take his place at the table. He passed me by without a word or glance, and dis­ appeared into his own stateroom, the farther one aft to starboard. I waited until Dade had assisted Bascom to re­ tire, and then sought my own berth to thtnfe the whole affair over. Bas­ com’s appearance shocked me, and I felt there, was a death look in his face, but our own perilous ^position kept my mind from dwelling long on this theme. There was little—nothing, in fact— that I could do. I must be content to leave Vera to evolve some means for the final overthrow of these men who held us prisoners. Dubois remained in the cabin on guard, probably with instructions to prevent my holding any private interviews, and the only assist­ ance I could give lay .In the juggling of figures, In which I could not be too cautious.The main doubt assailing me had come from a dim suspicion aroused on thfe deck by McCann’s questioning, and a sly glance exchanged between him and Liverpool! Were the fellows really contemplating making a landing else­ where on the Newfoundland coast, In­ stead of at St. Johns? This was not impossible, and the fact that It would take us thoroughly by surprise would appeal to the conspirators. covered absolutely nothing on whieh to base such an assumption. McCann was evidently In no haste to reach the lati­ tude of St. John’s, and take to the K ts for the Indian Chief was pro- S i J with greatly reduced speed, and, as the afternoon wore slowly away, it seemed to me we were scarce­ ly moving, the reverberation of the screw being barely perceptible. To as­ sure myself that the course I had mapped out was still being adhered to, I ventured into the cabtn for a glance at the telltale compass. We were headed to the west of south. The man Simms was on guard, lolling against the butt of the mizzen mast, with no one else visible. To test his orders, I turned toward the closed door of Miss Carrington’s stateroom. In­ stantly. he was on his feet to interfere. “You are not to do that, sir." “Not to do what?” "Speak alone with the lady; those were my--orders.” I raised my voice In remonstrance, but had scarcely uttered a word, when McCann emerged from his stateroom, leaving the door ajar, and crossed the deck to face me. ■ “What is the trouble here, SimmS?” he asked, the harshness of his tone dif­ fering greatly from the pleasant con­ versation at dinner. “Mr. Hollis was going to rap on the iady’s door, sir.” “Oh, he was, hey! Well, now see here, Hollis, you understood that you were to have no communication with any prisoners aboard, didn’t you?” • “I was not aware that Miss Car­ rington was considered a prisoner.” “Well, whether she is or not, she .is no longer to be bothered with your at­ tentions,” with no attempt to control his temper. “I consider that you have broken your word. You will go back to your stateroom, and stay there.” "Supposing I refuse?” He grinned, exposing his teeth like a great cat. “I wouldn’t advise you to try that," he sneered, “for there Is crew enough on deck to nian-handle you to a finish. You can go in quietly, or I’ll call them down, and have you thrown In.. So take your choice.” I looked at the two of them, eager enough myself to make it a fight. Yet what-was the use? Any excuse en­ abling him to confine me more closely would evidently be to his. advantage. I conquered myself, and hands clinched, crossed the deck space, and entered my stateroom, closing the door. I heard McCann laugh, and say some­ thing to Simms; then I knew he crossed the cabin, and went up the stairs. To better control myself I thrust my face out through the open port, breathing in the salty freshness of the air. Suddenly I became aware that others had entered the main cabin. There was no sound of voices; nothing to tell me the purpose of this invasion, yet I felt certain that, at least, a dozen men had descended the steps from the compan­ ion. I stood erect listening! there was fumbling- at my door. Had McCann changed his mind? Were they about to attack me in force? Revolver in hand I took a step forward, half-ready to welcome any open hostility. “The first sea rat to open that door,” I called, "will get what’s coming to him.” There was a mocking laugh In an­ swer, in which more than one voice joined; then White growled reply: “No one Is a’ cornin’ in, mister; an’ damn me, if you’re goin* ter get out" I grasped the knob, throwing my whole weight against the wood. It 7 / '■-r •. i-. vv: "tfou Are Not to Do That, Sir." yielded scarcely half an inch, just enough to reveal a stout bar. This time I was a prisoner beyond doubt; they had left me no loophole of escape. But why? What had I done to warrant them In breaking their jpledge? Could it be that McCann had no further use for jne? no desire for another observa­ tion? H this was true, then it must be the men proposed deserting the ship that very night, and taking a chance at getting ashore in one of those northern bays. And they had nailed me In to die like a rat In this hole, when the Indian Chief went down. For the instant, as this fear gripped me, I was dazed and’ incapable of thought; helpless to even clearly com- iprehend the full horror. I do not be- Heve it was my own situation which so completely unmanned me, but the remembrance of Vera. What would* become of her? She would be alone in McCann’s power without a human be­ ing to whom she could appeal. She would be forced into the boat despite her struggles, laughed at, ai»d mocked. She might even be compelled to wit­ ness the slow sinking of the bhip carry­ ing us down into the depths. And then —what? The vision I conjured up was agony, and I sank back upon the stool, my face buried In my hands. It is not even yet clear in «ny mind how the remaining hours of tlyit after­ noon passed. I was conscious only of a niad, impotent rage. Wild schemes flashed through my brain, only to fall of execution. There could be only one reason for McCann’s action—desertion of the ship, that same night. If the mutineers were really, as pretended, intending to land their boats in the harbor of St. John’s, they would re­ quire my services for at least another day yet. No one else on board could place the vessel at the point desig­ nated. Their, actions, however, Jilalnly evidenced that I was no longer needed, and that their plans had been changed. Indeed no one hefld communication with me all that afternoon; occasion­ ally I overheard movements in the cabin, but could scarcely peer through njjr door, and was unable to ascertain w?io were present, while the few words distinguished brought me no specific information.- That some movement of secret importance was going on aboard seemed more than probable. I became impressed with the conviction that food supplies were being, conveyed from the lazarette to the boats and stowed away. Supper was served early In the cabin,. but was ..evidently more of a lunch than a meal,...no attempt being made air formality, McCann, Liverpool and Miss Carrington were at the table together, but, while I could differenti­ ate their voices, conversation was car­ ried on in such low tones, I could make little of it. When they left the table Vera went to the piano,' and played and sang all the time White was eating. My little peekhole gave me a glimpse' of McCann, leaning against the mizzen mast, his eyes upon her. No offer of food was made me, nor did I see, or hear Bascom; if he ate at all it must have been In his own stateroom,' Finally the music ceased, the two exchanging a few apparently friendly words, before the girl excused herself, and returned to her room. 'I sat down to think again—hopeless, my mind on the same treadmill. What could I do? What effort of- mine was possible" There was no means by ■which I could escape from the state­ room ; I was like a rat In a trap, and McCann'intended to leave me there to drown. Withla an hour, perhaps; cer­ tainly before midnight, those devils would desert the ship, and take to the boats. Already I was practically dead’; certainly as helpless to prevent the consummation of this villainous plan as though fathoms beneath the sea. How deathly still It was on board. Suddenly It occurred to me that Dade had not even cleared the table; at least I had heard no rattle of dishes, or any evidence of work. Such neglect certainly must mean that Mc­ Cann’s plan was known to all aboard of his own company. I opened the door again, noiselessly, its scant quarter of an inch before It was stopped by the bar, and sought to look out. The space gave me.no view; there was a light burning, but 'turned so low as to leave the cabin In semidarkness. I waited listening, but no movement told of any presence. For the fourth time I tried my knife point on the bar holding me prisoner. It barely scratched the wood, for I could not force the handle through the narrow opening. I might smash it by shots from my revolver, but that would leave me unarmed, and create an alarm which would fill the cabin with men; besides the severed ends of the bar would still hold the door secure. I straightened up, my heart beating like-a triphammer. Something strange, unaccountable was occurring In the cabin. I could make nothing of it; not even satisfy myself that what I seemed to hear was an actual reality—yet there was a sound like a blow, followed by a barely audible groan, and the sliding of a body to the deck. CHAPTER XXIV. The Hand of Fate. It seemed an age I stood there, bend­ ing to the narrow crack, hearing no further sound, and unable to guess what had occurred In the semidarkness of the apparently deserted cabin. I could distinguish no movement, not even the sound of breathing. Then a soft whisper spoke almost in my ear, causing me to start back as though stabbed by a gun. "Robert I” There was agony In the utterance sufficient to disguise the low voice,, yet I could not doubt the Identity of the speaker. “Yes; I am here; what has hap­ pened?” “Oh, don’t ask that. I hardly know myself. It was all impulse, despera­ tion. Listen; they are going tp desert the ship within an hour. McCann told me. I - I let him believe I would go with him to save my own life. I-I didn’t know what to do. All that was left me was to pray and watch.” 'Tes1' dear heart—but what hap­ pened? you must speak quickly. They all left the cabin, and went on dack.” “Yes; to provision the boats; they are lowering the two forward ones now. J was told to get my own things ready.” “No guard was left here below?” “Only Dade; they knew you could not possibly get out, and they had no fear of me because I was so fright­ ened.” “And what became of . Dade?” ; fihe caught her breath, the answer a sob almost inaudible. “I struck him; dear, there was no other way. Maybe I killed him, but— but I never meant to do that. I used the only weapon I had—an iron leg from my washstand.” “Don’t worry; it was either his life,' or ours. There is no one else then below?” “Not—not now.” “Is there any way of loosening this bar? I cannot even determine how it Is fastened; there were no cleats.” I could see her outline as she stood there, feeling with her hands; then realized that a length of iron was' in­ serted between the wooden bar and the jamb of the door; there was a crunch­ ing sound, not,loud enough to be alarm­ ing, and the bar fell, but was caught before it struck the deck. Instantly I was in the cabin, and had grasped her hands still clinging to the leg of the washstand. lTou brave, dear girl!” “Oh, don’t, not now!” she pleaded, drawing back. “What shall we do?” “What do you know?” I asked. “Tell me as quick as you can.” “They are lowering the boats. He will be back for me In a minute.” “Yes, I know; but they mean, to open the sea-cocks first?” “I was not told; no one has come down this way.” “Whoever Is given that job would use the malnhatch, or the ladder to the engine room. You do not know if all the crew are on deck?” “The man White yelled down the lad­ der to somebody, whom he called Tony, to use only the- one screw—do you know a man by that name?” “Aye, Tony Itappello, the head fire­ man; he cculd keep the machinery, go- Dade Was Unconscious hut Not Dead. ing. Now one thingimore—where have they confined Leayord and Olson?” “I haven’t dared ask,” she admitted. “I did not suppose they would leave the ship tonight, and thought I' might find some way to discover this for my­ self.” “You have no hint?” “Only that the boy Moon carried, food forward from the table while I was at the piano.” “Forward? on deck?” “No; down the passage amldshlp.” “Good; that is what I supposed, and it gives us a far better opportunity to reach the men than if they were being held In the forecastle. They are In the petty officers’ quarters, no doubt. Now, listen, dear. McCann may come for you at any moment. You must go back to your stateroom, so that he will not suspect. Leave the rest to me, but de­ lay him in every way possible.” “Am I to go with him?-’ “Only as a last resort. If I can re­ lease Leayord and Olson In time to act we’ll back the game. This probably depends on how long you can keep Mc­ Cann-on board.” “He must not suspect your escape.” “No; I’ll attend to that.” I caught her. In my arms, and kissed her, feel­ ing her arms twine about my neck. “You must go now, dear. You. trust me?” “With all my heart.” She crossed swiftly to her state­ room, stepped within, and partially closed the door, yet, I felt, stood there, watching my every movement. There was no- longer hesitancy on my part; our lives hung on the next few min­ utes, and I had already determined what I must do, and how. Action, the chance to fight, inspired me; I was no longer a caged rat, but a man able to cope with these villains-face to face. The first thing to be done was to clear the cabin, so that anyone entering it would have no suspicion aroused. Time, time in which- to work, was my one great need, and this could only be had while McCann believed me still to be a helpless prisoner. I caught up the wooden bar from where it lay on the deck, closed my stateroom door and, fitting the nails back into the old holes, drove them in tightly with the iron Vera had used to pry them free. Dade was unconscious, but not dead. I only needed to touch his flesh to as­ sure me of this fact, yet the fellow neither stirred, nor groahed, as I hastily dragged his body into the near­ est open doorway. He should have been bound and gagged, but I could not waste the moments for that job, and satisfied myself with closing and lock­ ing the door. Then, for an instant, I stood, panting for breath, uncertain as to my next move, taking hasty survey. (TO BE CONMNUED.)

DISPJTCHES FROM RALEIGH Doings-and Happenings That -Mark the Progress of North Carolina Peo­ ple, Gathered Around the State Capital. Raleigh. The Increasing - seriousness of the food situation, has led. State Food Administrator Henry A- .Page to make a stirring appeal to tne. Christian ministers of North Carolina to arouse their people to a realization of what the situation holds and of their indi­ vidual responsibility in meeting tfie situation. Other ’ letters have been written to the hotels and restaurants of the state and tb the educational in­ stitutions and other places where food is handled In considerable quantities. MT.' Page in some of his letters has made two particularly starting state­ ments: ■First: The United States has al­ ready exported to its allies and neu­ tral Europe this country’s normal ex­ port surplus of wheat; while the same is approximately true of beef and pork and fats; and we have drawn largely on our normal supply of sugar to help out the French and English. Second: Tens of thousands of wo­ men and children and old men must die In Europe this winter from starva­ tion in spite of all we can do. Because of the transportation situa­ tion practically all the food which reaches Europe during tne next few months must come from America and with our ordinary surplus already gone a marked reduction In our normal con­ sumption of wheat, beef and pork products, fats and. sugar, must be made in order to save our allied coun­ tries from a collapse and to save as many as possible of the people of neutral Europe from starvation. The situation has sifted down to ■ where It can be' very dearly and defi­ nitely stated that every ounce of wheat and beef. and pork and every particle of fats or sugar which is sav­ ed by any. ’ individual by substitution of other products or through economy will help riot only to win the war hut to save the life of some starving wo­ man or child in Europe. "The heartrending part of it all,” declares Mr. Page, “is that our peo­ ple have not waked up to a realization of the horrible death that threatens several hundred thousand individuals in Europe, or even to the terrible menace of a complete German-victory if our European allies should collapse because we do not supply them with the foodstuffs which they must'have if they are to hold out. The critical period is NOW.” It has been announced by the Food Administration -that the price of $0,046 a pound for thff new crop of raw sugar in Cuba will mean 8c sugar to the con­ sumer during the coming year. The Cuban crop, which is now being har­ vested, Is estimated at three millions to three and a half million tons which, added to our own crop of 600,000,000 tons of beet sugar and 200,900,000 tons of Louisiana cane sugar will be more than ample for our needs with the exercise of reasonable economy In using sugar. The raw sugar from Cuba will begin teaching our refineries within the next two or three weeks and the sugar •problem will be very largely solved so far as any actual sugar famine is con­ cerned. The utmost economy in the use of sugar, however, will be neces­ sary during the period of the war on account of , the very great decrease in the beet sugar crop of France and Italy. Intereeted In Pork Production. >• -Beturnihg from-a-.trip to the South-: eastern counties of. North Carolina, Mr. J. C. Anthony, special agent- in swine production for the- Agricultural Exten­ sion Service, reports that growers in Columbus, Sampson, Bladen and Brunswick counties have become very much interested in the question of pork production and that a carload of pure bred swine will be brought for Columbus county at an early , date. New Hanover county has been great­ ly interested in the pork question since the establishment of 'the pack­ ing plant at Wilmington and since one of the banks in the city sold a good number of pure bred, pigs to several young men of the county talcing their unsecured note until the boys had be- come established in the swine busi­ ness. Sampson county has also made good strides in pork production and Mr. Anthony states that he was somewhat surprised, to find so many pure bred animals in the county. It is his inten­ tion to procure a- number of hogs, from this county fo? farmers, who wish to take up the work in other adjacent counties. Both Mr. Anthony and Mr. J. E. Moses, Plb Club agent, have ex­ pressed themselves as being very much gratified with the-.way the farm­ ers of the state are taking up the work of more pork production and. are se­ curing pure bred animals for breeding stock. Several banks over the state are- now making plans to finance the pig club work In their counties, con­ taining the practice begun during the last two or three years.

Ih a' certain Indianapolis home is a large plaster of paris globe used by the- fond parents of the three promising children, says the Indianapolis News, to acquaint them with their geography lessons. The other day the ' mother went Into the children’s room and foririd the youngest on the floor with the globe between his - knees : and a dead fly In his hands'. “Put that filthy fly'' down!" com­ manded the mother. The child was plainly disturbed.. “Put It'’down. What are you doing with it?” the mother repeated. The child answered with action. He put the fly on the top of the globe, then spun it around quickly/ The fly fell to the floor. “Mother,” the boy pleaded, “mother, why does the fly fall off the earth when we don’t?” Fires Increased ..by. Extreme Cold.- The increased danger oi fire., apd the need of extra precaution to pr’e- Tent fires during extreme odd spells is called to the attention of the publi? in a statement given out today-by In­ surance Coriimissioner Young. “The danger of fire during extreme cold snaps like the present one is. very much increased,” says the state­ ment, “this is especially true In large manufacturing plants, warehouses' or. stores. In plants where '.automatic sprinklers are used frozen’pipes might render the system temporarily use-: less at a time when its need was most Imperative. A yoar ago several large industrial properties throughout the country were destroyed because pipes in. the system were frozen when it was called upon to do Its work. Tho same! thing applies to inside hydrants for fire.protection. A frozen hydrant, in a building may not thaw until the burning building thaws it- and that will be just too late. Frequent in­ spection and every precaution to pre­ vent freeing of fire prevenion appa­ ratus is necessary more at this time than at any other. “When extreme cold spells come, furnaces are run so as to produce the maximum heat.

Ideas soon be­ come fixed.. Only, a great upheaval such as a war, or other stern ordeal moves Us to revise our preconceived notions and examine the truth of our premises. Nations at war, like men in their cups, are apt to reveal the whole truth.' Shamsli make-believes, sterile hypoc­ risies fall to 'earth, the traditional self fades into a dim background and n nation stands forth naked, its true self. Latent passions fanned to flame by war sear the soul and fuse inherited characteristics into new elements, so that the real temper of- a people stands revealed; illuminated by-the fires that burn along its battle line. So It Is with Italy! Most of use love Italy, few know her, William Kay Wallace writes In Scribner’s: -"Too few-have troubled to study the recent development of this great -and -,gifted race of men which has come to take up again the heritage of ancient Rome.

The Thrift Stamps are proving very popular wherever they are understood. The buying of these stamps ought to help materially those who have had: steady wages, but have not gotten into 1 the saving frame of mind, and ought to help vastly the men and women- •who are jttst beginning to be' wage, earners. The small-sum at the begin-; ning is an allurement; the fact-that each investor may suit his own con­ venience in the time of buying each stamp; the perfect safety; the good return—these and other considera­ tions make a happy form "of saving.

When one faints, the face goes pale, and the victim sinks down or perhaps loses consciousness for a few moments. Shock may he caused by any acci­ dental injury, by an operation, by a severe fright, by the sudden receipt of bad news or even by witnessing some distressing occurrence. Fear is the emotion underlying shock. Whmi a snake “charms" its prey—if a snake really does this—fear simply m S P I R I T S O F TREATING SHOCK OR FAINTING. Faintihg and shock are best: treated by letting the victim lie flat, keeping him . warm, loosening his clothes and giv­ ing aromatic spirits' of ammonia. paralyzes the reptile’s .victim and ren­ ders it incapable of running away. The human organism, too, reacts to great fear, with a ihore or less paralyzing weakness. The signs or symptoms by which shock Isj recognized are characteristic: Pale face, slow and very shallow breathing, with occasional weak sighs, skin cover I with cold, clammy sweat, pnpils of eyes widely dilated, pulse weak'and small and difficult to feel, victim lying absolutely quiet, either wholly unconscious of surroundings or else responding feebly and unintelligi­ bly to questions; hands and feet ere cold, and if the temperature Is taken It Is found lowered below the normal SB degrees. ■ First; keep the victim lying Sat on the. ground or floor .or bed. Never sit him up or allow him to raise the head. By keeping the head low the circulation Is kept going in the brain. *. Second,- apply warmth to the body— blankets, hat water bottles, hot flat- Ironsor cloths wrung out of hot water —to ;tSe feet, between- the thighs, on the chest, under the arms, to Uie hands, blit be careful not to burn an uncon­ scious, patient . Third, loosen clothing about the neck and, if a woman, loosen clothing about waist to permit free breathing. Fourth, administer a half teaspoon- fid of aromatic spirits of ammonia In about an inch of cool water In a cup or glass if the patient’is able to swal- low. Slmp^rlift the head-a trifle* to enable the patient to swallow- this quickly acting, safe stimulant-...It may be repeatediIn-Ihe same dose.every ten minutes for tbree or four times, if nec­ essary. Keep the patient warm, quiet and ly­ ing flat* on the floor or ground or bed until at least an hour has passed.' Rub the Iinibis with slow, firm strokes toward the body.' - If the patient cair swallow, a cup oi hot, strong coffee or tea is an ideal stimulant to give. ' : . . Fainting is treated in the same way. Usually fainting is due -to warn, close air. Therefore the victim should be removed to a. convenient place where fresh air may be bad and tbe surroundings kept quiet But in carry­ ing the patient out of a crowded place do not forget to keep the bead low. People too frequently insist upon, sit­ ting the fainting person upright which Is absolutely wrong. In any case of fainting or shock, when the victim does not respond' to these measures In a few minutes, a physician should be summoned, be­ cause serious conditions, sucb as con­ cealed internal hemorrhage or grave disease to which tbe victim may be subject may/call for medical attention. I, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Eye Inflammation In Babies. What is the cause of tbe eye inflam­ mation In newborn babies? Answer.—Often It is a simple Inflamma­ tion due to failure to wash the eyes with lukewarm water containing a teaspopnful of salt In a pint or with Iukewafm water (which has been boiled) .containing a tea­spoonful of boric acid In the pint. But sometimes serious Inflammation' occurs from infection of the baby's eyes in the birth canal, and It may destroy the sight in a few hours unless treated by tbe doc­ tor at 'once. To prevent this dangerous ac­ cident, every newborn baby should have a drop of I per cent silver nitrate placed hi each 'eye immediately after birth. Dampness In the Cellar. We live In a district where spring floods often leave the cellar damp for a long time. Is this not bad for the health of our family? Answer.—The dampness alone Is not harmful, any more than would be a pond or fountain In' your dooryard, but the seep­ age of water Into the cellar might carry in pollution, disease germs, which, might thus get In or on food kept in the cellar. To be on the safe ,side about this you should report the condition to your health ofilcer for investigation. Information About Values of Foods. Please advise me where I can obtain reliable Information upon the nutritive value of various foods.

Americans the Most Wasteful! People on Earth—BornofaGeneroirs Trait. T The average Araerican ia not far from the moat extravagant person on earth. In normal - times, ■ this generous trait—for it is just that— is one of the moBfc attractive things about the average American, vlt keeps business alive, and always on the go. But in times such as these, when .we are facing a whole worldiul of we know notl what, ex travagance is unpatriotic and a sin. The majority of us have not. gixen this much thought; and a lot- of those who have really thought of it, do nob realize the teal impor­ tance of nation-wide economy. Did you ever stop to think of the cold iron fact that there is only a certain amonnt of - sugar, of wheat, of beef, gasoline,'of a thous­ and other necessities, in the world? Yea, gasoline is now a necessity. Only one certain amount. That is very obvious of course; only; you hadn’t stopped to think of it, you good nathred generous Ameri­ can! "Well listen* You’ve- been told that the farmers were the ones who would win this war for .us. Its pretty close to the biggest truth I know. Are you aware of. the; fact that we are fairly sure of not having bo good a farming, season next year as we’ve had: this .year? And we are going to have to feed our allie 3onr soldiers in- France, the always hungry submarines of Germany, as well as iOurseives! I wonder if you know what that means. To feed our allies our sol­ diers abroad, the submarines, and ourselves—that, will take ah a- mount of food<6b^ great that 'one can hardly eonceirief t;;and there is only a certain amount, of food in the world! By this time of next year.'you are going to have the dillema thrust upon- you—un­ less we begin this economy, this nation-wide conservation of food right now. And how. much, better it is to cut out our extravagances now than to have them doubly cut ont for ns by a burning necessity a year from now! For it’s coming. Ohl it’s coming. You can’t, get around it my friend,. And it's coming hardwfien it does come, if we don’t shoulder the biirden now. Chalk that down. B ntit will hardly be a burden if wa take it up -immediately. Nine of every tenjot us joy-riding, over-eating, big-time-lovingfAme'r icans would really be better physi cal and mental men if We lived at a third less coBt. A trial of one month should be convincingi. I said in the foregoing that gas oline was now a necessity? You’d as well take powder from; the al­ lied armies as-to.. take Tgasoline from them. Gasoline niofes their supplies, ammunition'7and ; men from one point to another; gasoline runB the engines of their airplanes; gasoline drives their ambulanceB loaded with wounded from their firing lines to their hospitals. Ib forms the eyes of the allied armies. Take it away and they- would be blind, and Germany would Aoon be the mercilesB victor.V And there is only a certain a mount of gasoline to be, had. We are using an inconceivable amount daily in joy riding along; and ;the gas required for one joy-ride would take an ambulanceifqllolwounded men from trench to- hospital. It is going to give out some day; and suppose it gives, out for iis JuSt when the great struggle; is at its climax, when-the «nC[| ibust; £be written—do ybu kniiw yjthat Jthat would mean? ' Of ctfirsfsj.we don’t see the end Cf gasoiirie^ibut I nei­ ther do we BeeiDba end of the % ar! No man knows what ^surprise the bowels of the earth hold for us; .It, will not do to take ' the longest chances now. . We are fighting ah efficient and resourceful nation,* brother; doq.’t sight of that. - We Ard ing newspapers that are very eager Eo give us the bright side of things; remember that, too. Suppose that efficient and resourceful nation in­ vents huge airplanes that can rise 2 0 ,0 0 0 feet, travel 200 miles per hour, carry tons of explosives, and round the world on one journey. Where will we be? A learned man who has just reached America from Germany, declares that Germany is invent­ ing that sort of airplane! How true his statement is, I do not know; but if it is possible they will do it. Yes, we’d better cut out our ex- travagancejnow. It is on felony if you don’t of cource; but the A- meriean who doesn’t lacks that much of being patriotic.—Ex. Women Ran This Town. The village of California, K y., is war stricken.

Secretary of War Baker thinks that legislation chaBgthjp- thTr-'agh liniit urid.er the draft law—21 to 34 — is unnecessary at this time. The Secretary takes the position that the United States army now has available from the 9,000,000 registrants all the men it can pos sibly handle for some time to come. Certainly there will be no change Untilafter at least two drafts of 600,000 men each have been made and unquestionably no legislation will be proposed at the forth­ coming session of Congress. W hat lthe exigencies of war may require ihil918 to 1919 cannot be foreseen, ibutvfor the present, which includes the next session of Congress, the administration does not plan to Change the age limits.

One of the young men of-Charlotte, Ofia good family and popular with all classes, a member of this club, attended this dance. But he is a private in training at Camp Greene. A young, captain also attended the dance and was with a young girl who is a friend of the private. When the music ceased, the pri; vate stepped up to his lady frietfdf who introduced him to the captain! The officer refused to acknowledge the introduction aud openly insul­ ted both the young lady and this: private soldier. Here is another incident given by this writer: A gentleman of Charlotte.coming in­ to town from Camp Greene in his automobile picked up an officer who was walking toward town': presently he overtook two private soldiers who were walking the same way. He invited them tp. ride and*when they got in the Offif cer got-out;as he could-not afford: to ride into'Charlotte in comp&nj| with two privates! And this my? lords and gentleman, is in the Unif ted States of America! In France,' we are told; no’ such distinctions are made between the officers and private soldiers.

This infamous (we are tempted to say interual, for it; is a better word in this connection! spirit comes straight from Gerraai^ and is the very spirit we are trying to crush. Here is the situation!

Dear Editor:—I shall endeavor to write a faw words about Camp Jacnson, the place where Uncie Sam is training about twenty thousand troops to defeat the Germans in the trenches in France. And some training we are getting, trench dig­ ging, bayonet practice, night drilling to acquaint us with keeping together in; the dark, and many other maneuvers tbst are essential in preparing us for the cniom- ing conflict with the efficient German troops. We Will soon be put oii target practice. We hcve to jump wide entan­ glements, over poles, and when we arrive at the trenches to leap in them and thrust our bayonets into dummies representing German soldiers. Before we start for Europe, which I giiess will not be before April, we must learn how to do many, oth­ er things. The.onethingwe must learn, and learn well, is to know bow to .protect ourselves against poisonous and suffocat­ ing gas attacks of the Germans, which has wrought so much havoc among the allies. A few years ago the civilized na­ tions agreed not to use gas in warfare, but suddenly in April, In 15, the Germans turned loose’great clouds-of suffocating gas upon the Allies. Thousands were suffocated in the trenches from these dreadful fumes, while their comrades were unable to rescue them. The prime of manhood of America must soon force these cruel nations. Germany, Austria and Turkey, whose name will al­ ways be remembered as long as time shall last as .the scourge of posterity and recuperation of all the dastardly deeds of the past. For the destruction and over­ throw of suCh principles, which these na­ tions have,-and in their place to instill the ideals of Chrictian culture, we are’ of­ fering our lives and ail for our country's need. At this time when the future is such a hard way for the young man in the army, our friends back at home should' mean just a little more to us, and’ their influ­ ence constrain us. It may not be long before the letters, to the home boye will be sent out: to that indefinite' “Some­ where" perhaps to reach the boys weeks or months after, they were written. The answers that come back must bear the same indefiniteness. It would be wise to make good dse of your opportunity, and by your conduct to show that you stand firmly for your Government and' for the defeat of Germany. Nowhere in America at this crucial and fateful hour should any speak a word except in the feeling of pa­ triotism, for this form of service'may be even more vital in the presentleiriergency, to preserve the rival from disniption and make ready (lie path of’its greater des­ tiny when thejsun comds oijfc after ;tbe Btorm to blaBt^an abiding pe^e-u^right."; eousness.

GERMAK PEACE PROPOSALS scure.—Germans Said to Have Re­ jected Peace Terms of the Bolshe- yiki. The Italians on the northern line Sjn Italy between the Brenta and piave rivers have ceased, for the warfare against the attacks of the time being at least, their defensive Austro-Germans and assumed the offensive with signal successes on several sectors. I Attacking the positions which the snemy earlier in the week captured near Monte Asolone, General Diaz’s troops have regained a considerable portion of the terrain and held it, not­ withstanding the terrific artillery fire that was turned upon them. The German war office, In endeav­ oring to belittle the success of the offensive, which it asserts was re­ pulsed, shows that the effort of the Italians was a determined one, the troops to the west of Monte Asolone delivering seven attacks against the enemy front. Admission is made in the German communication that the ItsUians also have taken the initiative in the fighting on Monte Pertica and Monte Silarolo, but it is declared that their attacks on these sectors, as on Monte Asolone were without succeBS. The situation in Russia continues obscure, although such reports as -are coming through indicate that the bolshevik! government is losing ground in the face of the opposition that is being imposed by the Ukrain­ ians and the followers of General Kaledines. The bolshevikl commis­ sioners are declared to have declined to accept the negative reply of the Ukrainian Rada to the bolshevikl de­ mand that Ukraine cease aiding the Kaledines forces' and give the rada an opportunity to reconsider Its ac­ tion. As indicating that the rada has finally declined to give heed to the dictates of the bolshevikl is a report that a definite. alliance has been formed between Kaledines followers and the Ukrainians. A dispatch from Petrograd says an unofficial report in circulation In the Russian capital is 'to the effect that the Germans have rejected the peace terms put forward by the bolshevikl delegates. Recent dispatches have in­ dicated-that the peace pourparlers in progress at Brest-Litovsk were mere­ ly preliminary to the peace confer- j ence which is to assemble there next | Tuesday and which is to be attended by the German and Austro-Hunga­ rian foreign ministers. Reorted That Teutonic Allies Would Offer for Peace and Had Requested Russia to Sound former Allies for Peace. In the midst of the peace pourpar­ lers that are in progress between the representative of the Teutonic allies and the bolsheviki government In Russia, the war aims of Great Brit­ ain—and doubtless of all her allies— have been concretely set forth in the house of commons by David Lloyds George, the British' prime minister. The complete restoration of terri­ tory now In the hands of the enemy and compensation for the havoc Ihey have wrought is the price that will be damended for the laying down of arms and the bringing about of peace. Great Britain did not seek territo­ rial aggrandizement for herself or for any of her allies when she entered the war, Mr. Lloyd George said but entered into the hositilitiea merely for the sake of her honor. As to Ger­ many’s colonies, all of which are now In the hands of the entente, Mr. Lloyd George said, their disposition must be determined at .. the peace congress, Jerusalem, however, the premier de­ clared, would never be restored to the Turks. The statement of the prime minis­ ter came almost simultaneously with a report that the Teutonic allies In- - tended to make peace proposals to the entent and that Russia had been, requested to take similar steps and was endeavoring to sound her fromer allies In arms as to their requirements for a cessation of hostilities. SECRETARY DANIELS SAYS NAVY NOW HAS MORE THAN 1,000 SHIPS. TWO KEARS A60 HAD ONLY 300 GREAT DEMONSTRATION GREET­ ED Announcement of the HOUSE VOTE. PASSENGER TRAINS CRA8H; 38 KILLED; MANY INJURED ARMY CLOTHING, SHOES AND FOOD UNDER INQUIRY Quartermaster General Sharpe Be­ fore the Investigating Committee Washington.—Clothing, shoes and food supplies for the American army were investigated by the senate milii- tary committee, turning its general in­ quiry into war preparations to the quartermaster general’s department. It was developed that millions were spent just before the United States entered the war to provide for the great army since raised. Major General Sharpe, quartermas­ ter general, was before the commit­ tee all day and for an hour of the time answered all confidential ques­ tions behind closed doors. ' He was closely examined, especially regard­ ing the admitted shortage of over­ coats, which he said was due princi­ pally to late deliveries of large orders Except for overcoats and a few other winter garments, of which, he stated, complete stocks would be in camp by December 31, the general declared there is no clothing short­ age. Sheperdsville, Ky. — Thirty-eight known dead and.40 to 60 persons in­ jured, some of them seriously, was the toll taken when Louisville ft Nash­ ville passenger train No. 7, from Cin­ cinnati to New Orleans, crashed into the rear of a Bardstown, Louisville & Springfield accommodation train 600 yards south of the station here. The accommodation train had just left the station after making a atop, when the faster train which, makes no stop here came in sight moving at a high rate of speed. Efforts to bring it to a halt were futile and the heavy locomotive with the heavy weight o f! a steel train behind it crashed into the rear of the accommodation with a terrific impact. The two wooden passenger cars and baggage cars mak­ ing. up the smaller train were splin­ tered. Yirtually every person aboard the accommodation train, both crew and passengers were either killed or bad­ ly injured. None of the passengers aboard the fast train were killed, tfaoug ha number were injured. The locomotive was demolished and the heavy steel coaches making up the train were thrown from the track. Non of the passengers aboard the fast train were killed and none of them received more than minor inju­ ries. Another locomotive and train crew was sent from Louisville and after detaching one baggage car the New Orleans train went on as soon as the right of way was declared. Jesse Weatherford, telegraph opera­ tor at the station here; said that after the accommodation train left the sta­ tion he had thrown his block to show the track clear and left the office to help handle baggage. When he got outside, he said, he saw the fast train approaching, ran back to the office, pulled his block to show red seized a lantern and rushed to the platform to flag it. He reached the side of the track just as the hevay locomotive thundered by. G- B.

Babst, president of the Amer­ ican Sugar Refining Company, testify­ ing before the senate, investigating commiittee. He opposed placing a Hmtt on domestic consumption, oon tending that any such plan would re suit in a larger surplus than could M shipped abroad. Contracts Have Been Let for Hun- I dreds of Others Including Dread- naughts, Cruisers and Destroyers and Auxiliaries—Explain Operation. i Washington.—A recital by Secretary Daniels of how the navy prepared for war by adding several hundred ships to the fleet and letting contracts for ' hundreds of Othersv including dread- naughts, battle cruisers, destroyers and auxiliaries, and explanation of the op­ eration of the navy supply department by Rear Admiral McGowan, paymaster | general, marked the opening of the In- i quiry by a house subcommittee into the navy’s war activities. j Representative Britten, of Illinois, asked Secretary Daniels whether the department had received any com­ plaints from Vice Admiral Sims, com­ manding American naval forces in the war zone. The secretary said the question was improper and that “mess gossip” should not be banded about, but he added that Admiral Sims had been given everything possible that the navy could give. I Later when Admiral McGowan was I called to the stand he submitted an order issued by him some months ago directing' that Admiral Sims requests for supplies be acted upon on the same day they were received. “We have 424 ships in course of con­ struction.” Secretary Daniels told the committee. “That does not include submarinechasers, of which we. are building 360 and does not include the small craft. The chasers will be in service by early spring.” Included In thp 424 ships, he said, were battle cruisere, battleships, Bcout cruisers, destroyers, fuel ships, gunboats, hOB- pital ships, ammunition hips, sea­ going tug, mlne-sweeperB and sub marines.The navy at the beginning of its participation in the war, the witness continued, had at its disposal Hte money needed for most of the expan­ sion immediately required and In pressing cases where funds were lack­ ing over-obligations were incurred. Within the last few days the navy haB bad to ask for $86,000,000 in addition to the regular estimates amounting to $1,039,000,006 for the next fiscal year, now before the house naval commit­ tee.Secretary Daniels said the navy now had more than one thousand ships In commission as against 300 two years ago and an enlisted person­ nel of 280,000 officers and. men com­ pared with 64,680 men and 4,378 officers when America declared war. “Has the navy measured up?” he asked. “It is my firm belief at the close of the investigation your an- swer will be, Tt has, and the country has every reason to repose confidence In the navy.’ ” AU8TRO-GERMA NFORCE ATTACK ITALIAN LINE Reinforcements In Large Numbers are Brought Up. The AustroUermans have renewed In great strength their effort to pierce the Italian line and debouch upon the plains of Venetia in the region of Bas- saso. In fierce fighting around Monte Azolone, in which the enemy again suffered severe losses and several times were repulsd, reinforcements, in large numbers were brought up nad the Italians were compelled to give ground. The fighting lasted through out Tuesday and according to the German war office, more than 2,000 Italians were made prisoner. Likewise along the southern reaches of the Piave river, the invaders and the Italians are engaged in heavy fighting. A crossing of fhe Old Piave on pontoon bridges was successfully carried out by one enemy detachment, but later the Italians jhoved back the Teutons to the water’s edge. The fighting on .the other fronts still remains below normal, although the artillery duels on various sectors con­ tinue intense. The artillery activity between the French and Germans in Champagne and in the mountainous regions near the Swiss border is in­ creasing .In volume, probably forecast­ ing infantry attacks at an early date’. Again the losses to British shipping through mines or submarines show a decrease. According to the weekly statement of the British admiralty 17 merchantmen were sent to the bot­ tom last week, as compared with 21 the previous week. SLIGHT DECREASE IN „ SHIPPING LOS8ES 8HOWN London. — Fourteen British mer­ chantmen* of more than 1,600 tons and three under that tonnage were sunk by mine or submarine during the -iast week, according to the admiral- •y statement. One fishing vessel also was ’ sunk. The shipping losses jy -nine or submarine' in- the past week Vre slightly under those of the pre *foU8 week, when 14 vessels of more han 1,600 tons and seven , under tha. 'onnage were destroyed ' Resolution Adopted Is Identical With That Passed, Last August Except That It Gives Seven Years Instead of Six to Ratify. ' Washington.—Nation-wide prohibi­ tion won in the house and only the ad­ justment of slight difference in reso­ lutions between the house and senate now stands in the way of submitting to state legislatures an amendment to the federal constitution forbidding the manufacture, sale-or importation of in­ toxicating- liquor for beverage pur­ poses in the United States or its terri­ tories. The vote in the house, taken after a day of debate before crowded gal­ leries, was 282 to 128, with the parties dividing almost evenly. The margin for prohibition was eight votes more than the two-thirds vote. Both wets and drys had been pre­ dicting .victory all day, and it was not until the last few names had been called that the anti-prohibition forces conceded their defeat. When Speaker Clark announced the result, the victors were joined by the galleries, in such a. demonstration as is rarely permitted In the house. Former Secretary Bry­ an, an Interested spectator nearly all day, appeared on the floor and joined In receiving congratulations with Rep­ resentative Webb, of North Carolina, who had led the fight. The resolution adopted by the house Ist identical with that passed by the senate last August, except that, it gives the states seven years instead of six in which to ratify the amendment. The Presidents’ approval is not re­ quired and the state legislatures may act as soon as they please after Vice- President Marshall and Speaker Clark have signed the resolution. Following is the resolution as adopt­ ed: - “Resolved, by the senate and house of representatives that the following amendment to the constitution be, and hereby is, proposed to the states, to become valid as a part of the con­ stitution when ratified by the legisla­ tures of the several states as pro­ vided by the constitution: “Article—Section I. After one year from the ratification of this article the manufacture sale or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the im­ portation thereof into, or the expor­ tation thereof from the United StateB and all territory subject to the juris­ diction thereof for beverage purposes is hereby prohibited. “Section 2. The Congress and the several states shall have concurrent power to enforce this article by ap­ propriate legislation. “Section 3. This article shall be in­ operative unless it shall have been rat­ ified as an amendment to the con­ stitution by the legislatures of the several states, as provided in the con­ stitution, within seven years from the date of the submission hereof to the states by the Congress.” IH BRIGHTEN THE CORNERS Flood the room with mellow, usable Rayo light Strong enongh to Uluminate aTarge room—yet en­ tirely free from uncomfortable glare.

They make a big cake and draw a pitcher of cider and set down In their best clothes to see company. Angy Hanna is dreadful enterprising; she means to lead In the fashions." ; “Am I to call there?” asked Ethan, i “Why, of course," eald his mother. ,"What else does it mean? Miss An­ gela Hanna—at home.” j “She’s at home most days, ain’t she?” said Ethan' musingly. "There was never anything of the gad-about In Angela Hanna that I ever heard of.” I “Oh, but this .here's a new kink I” exclaimed Mrs. Crane. “An extra-spe­ cial day for calling—don’t you see?” I ‘Td calculated to take the oxen to :Snldge Hill and grub stumps out of the clearin’ on New Tear’s day,” said Ethan. : “The next day will do just as well for the stumps,” said Mrs. Crone, en- couragingly. “Ion might as well be 'out of the world as out of the fash­ ion.” I Deacon Perkins received one of Miss Hanna’s cards and so did Squire Hart, Iii fad, there wasn’t a widower ,or old bachelor or eligible swain In all FairvieW' who was omitted from her list.' ! "I ain’t as young as I was,” said tired of living alone and sewing on vests to earn her pin money, and she had determined, on this particular oc­ casion, to make a bold stroke and win a husband. . She attired herself on New Tear’s day In a green satin dress, cut low in the neck and short in the sleeves, pinned a bunch of holly at the left side, and puffed her newly tinted hair In the most elaborate style. 'I do declare,” said Miss Angda to- herself, “I don’t look a day over twenty.” Deacon Perkins was the first to ar­ rive, an old bald-headed man, with a complexion of leather and the keenest of twinkling black eyes. "I got a letter from you, Mlss Han­ na,” said he. “I s’pose you want to consult me on business.” ~ “La, deacon, what a very strange idea,” giggled Mlss Hanna. .“No, In- Miss Hanna to herself. “It’s high time I took steps to establish myself,” Miss Angela Hanna had just passed her flve-and-fortieth birthday; she was stout and ruddy, with the very best set of teeth that the Pairview dentist could supply, and a perpetual smile riveted on her lips.

"I do wish to consult you.” "About what?” frowned the deacon, looking dubiously at the purple shoul­ ders and arms of the lady. “Marriage,” said Miss Hanna. “Would you advise me, dear deacon, to commit my future into the hands of another?” “Eh I” said the deacon. “Had an of­ fer?” “Yes,” said Miss Hanna, driven by his directness into an absolute lie, "Then, 111 was you," said the dea­ con, 'Td accept It, 'cause it alat llkdy you’ll have many of ’em.” “But, deacon,” she stammered, “what if I don’t love the man?

Who’s that cornin’ up the walk? Ethan Crane, I do declare! Well, he's a likely young fellow—not as rich as Squire Perkins, maybe, but— Oh, come In, Mr. Crane. Come In. I am so glad to see you. Lovely day, isn’t It?” Ethan Crane sat down with his hat In his lap. "I received your card, Mlss Hanna.” "Oh, did you!” said Angela, with a smile. "To tell the truth,” said honest Ethan, ‘I wanted a little talk with you.” “Indeed!” said the lady. "Won't you come here and set by me on the sofa? It’s more sociable like.” "Oh, yes, if you like,” said Ethan, obeying her gesture of Invitation. “You see, my mother is getting feebler, every day, and we feel the need of some younger person at the farm. And I’m twenty-eight now, and the place is in good oraer, and I’ve money at interest, so that I’ve pretty much made up my mind to marry.” Miss Angela let the puffed and friz­ zled head fall on his shoulder. “Dearest Ethan!” she exclaimed. “les—exactly,” eald Ethan Crane, movlug as far away as the arm of the sofa would allow. “So, if you thought that your niece, Mirandy, would have me—” “My niece, MIrandy I” gasped the elder lady, the immovable'bloom never altering on her face, although her heart beat wildly and her lips blanched. “Yes,” said Ethan. “I hoped to meet her here today.” “No!” said Mlss Angela sharply. “She’s gone away; and if she hadn’t, she wouldn’t accept you.” “Is she engaged to someone else?” stammered poor Ethan. “Yes,” said Miss Hanna. “To Joshua Simpkins. But, Ethan, do not grieve ; I am ready to entertain your suit, al­ though Mirandy despises you, and—” “But she doesn’t, aunty!” interrupt­ ed a clear, distinct voice, and Mirandy herself entered from an adjoining room. “On the contrary, she loves Ethan Crane dearly, and she refused Joshua Simpkins, as you know very well. “How came you here?” screamed Miss Hanna. “I went to Mrs. Brown’s house,” said Mirandy, "and she had gone to spend the holidays with her niece at Stanford. So I came back home.” “You are a dreadfql minx!” cried Miss Hanna, nearly suffocated with anger. “Gently!” said Ethan Crane, inter­ posing in Mirandy’s defense. “No call­ ing of names, please.” “And you shan’t stay in my house another day!” added the indignant lady. “Then she shall come to mine!” boldly asserted Ethan. “Come, Mi­ randy, darling—my sleigh is at the door and it holds exactly two. We’ll go to Parson Squire’s and get married this very hour.” So they were married, and old Mrs. Crane, who was waiting at the farm­ house door to receive her son, was de­ lighted. “If it hadn’t been me,” said Mi­ randy, , mischievously, “it would have been Aunt Angela, for she was deter­ mined to marry Ethan.” “The Lord forbid!” said Mrs. Crane, raising her eyes. “And after this,” said Ethan, as he led his bride'in, “the . first day of the year will be a double anniversary— he happiest of Happy New Years.

Where should I turn first? Bascom would be of no value, even if I re­ leased him; my only hope of assistance lay In the two seamen. Gripping the Iron bar, the revolver snugly stowed away In my pocket, I crept down the black passageway leading forward, glad to escape from the light of the cabin. HcCann believed his prisoners were secure; that It was quite safe to leave them unwatched for the short period before deserting the ship. The very fact that the InefiBdent Dade had been left alone In the cabin to watch over Miss Vera, and myself, was evidence that he needed every seaman-to carry out tlje work on deck. Themeasure of his confidence, his conceit, was what gave us this opportunity to act. My hand, fumbling for. the lock encoun­ tered a bar, a stout wooden bar, ex­ tending from Jamb to jamb, and' my heart bounded madly. This was the place! I bad found it already, and the men I came to release were impris­ oned exactly as I had been. I tapped gently on the panel. “Who Is It?” Low as the whisper was, I felt convinced the speaker must be Leayord. “Hollis. Stand by now; ere yon alone?” “Yes; OIson and Masters are to­ gether In the bosun’s quarters.” “Masters! when did they lock him up 7" “About on hour ago; he made quite a fight of it—that's how I knew what was going on, sir. Can yon get me out?” “Aye! PU rip this bar off In a Jtffy. Have you a light In there?" “Black as the Inside of a whale's beUy, sir.” I got a purchase with my Iron lever, and put my full' strength to it. The bar was of oak', but the jambs soft pine, and the nails drew out, creaking slightly, but making no noise to create any alarm. It was so Intensely dark I could not even perceive the outlines of the man’s figure, yet felt aware that Leayord Dronted me In the open door. He found my hand somehow, and gripped it. ‘Tm sure glad to meet you, captain,” he exclaimed heartily, "and get out 0’ that hole. What’s the word, sir?” . “Release the others, and get busy; minutes are worth hours now. McCann and his gang are deserting ship; they have the boats provisioned, and along­ side already; that is why the guards have been withdrawn.” “They were going to leave us aboard locked In?" “Aye, and with the sea-cocks open; dead men tell no tales.” He whistled, his fist smiting the wood of the door. “The dirty hound I And where are we, sir?” “Off the Newfoundland coast; they think less than fifty miles, but there’s nearly a hundred miles of blue' water to the west of us. Here’s the way of it in a nutshell: I was locked in my stateroom the same as you. It was Miss Carrington who gave us our chance. She became friendly with Mc­ Cann, and agreed to go with him. She was left free on board, and managed to release me while the crew were all on deck. The steward was left on watch in the cabin, and she had to hit him with this iron.” “She did! Lord, I’d never have thought it of that slip of a thing! What’s become 0’ the girl?” “She’s In her room, waiting for Mc­ Cann to come down for her. She’ll de­ lay him all she can. Is this the door?” “Aye, aye, sir; and give me the iron.” He was not a minute at the Job, and it required scarcely longer to acquaint the other two released men with a knowledge of the situation. Olson picked up the bar of wood for a weapon, asking simply: “Vat we do now,- captain? Iss it to fight?” ; “Hush!” whispered Masters, “there’s someone coming up the ladder." We crept back into the bosum’s state­ room and waited breathlessly. There was scarcely room for the four of .us, and the door caught, and would not wholly close. A dim. light reflected along the walls of the passage, making me aware that the fellow who was slowly climbing the Iron ladder from below, had a lantern with him. .Lea­ yord retained the iron leg, and I drew my gun, holding it tight gripped In one hand. The man’s head and shoulders emerged through the round opening, and the dim light enabled; me-to recog­ nize Tom Dugan. He paused on the edge, looking down. “‘'V, “All quiet enough up here,"he called. “You better draw the fires, Tony.” “No use 0’ that,” answered a! sullen voice from a'distance., “The-water will fix ’em in half an hour; there’s two cocks open. I’m goin’ on deck ;• that crooked millionaire don’t git no chance ter drown me.” i Dugan laughed. ' ] “Always a thinkin’ how to git out of a scrape safe. Yer got yer price,- didn’t •far?” "Enough ter make me want ter live long ’nough ter spend it, anyhow. Are you cornin’ down this way agin, Du­ gan?” “No; Til have a look at the cabin on my way up; the boss doesn’t want any mistake made. There’s nuthln’ left ter do aboard this hooker; she’s tick­ eted for Davy Jones.” He stared below a minute, as though to make sure of what Tony was doing down In the engine room; then, appar­ ently satisfied, swung to firm footing on the deck of the passage, flashing'his light aft. The radius was small, and his glance must have revealed nothing strange, for the fellow whistled softly as he advanced. He was almost at the stateroom door behind which we were hiding before he even noted the absence of the wooden bars which had confined the prisoners. He stopped, a look of amazement on his face, the lantern -swung-higher -to throw the'light forward. Before he could move a limb,’ I had stepped forth into the radiance, themuzzle of my re­ volver held within three inches of his eyes. “Don’t drop your hands, Dugan,” I said sternly. “Not an Inch, you brute. Here, Leayord, take the lantern from him. Move quietly, all of you. Now, Olson, If there is a sheet In there, or anything you can moke a cord out of, bring it to me—yes, take the lantern a minute. Good! that will answer; now lads, make It strong, a sailor’s knot.” Dngan spattered and swore under his breath, but the shock had robbed him of all power of resistance. I never saw a more amazed look In a man’s eyes. He stared at us as though we were ghosts raised from the grave to haunt him. “Anyone below beside Bapello ?” I asked, gripping his shoulder so as to make him look at me. “Answer now or I’ll take means to make you.” “No.’.' “No, whaQ yon fool I You are speak­ ing to the captain of this ship.” “No, sir.” "That’s better; you were the two last men left aboard, I take it; it was your job to open the sea-cocks?” He nodded sullenly, as I dug the re­ volver deep into his cheek. “You dirty murderer! where did yon leave McCann? Twist his neck, Lea­ yord, until he finds his tongue.” “On deck,” he sputtered, “close by the companion; he—he was going down to the cabin after the girl. Tony was the only one left In the engine room, and I was sent along to see that he left the cocks open.” “The boats were all over the side then?” “Yes, sin” “How many of them?" “Four.” “Where were they?” He set his teeth, but the pressure of Leayord’s fingers compelled an answer. “Three 0’ ’em had got away, lyin’ maybe a hundred yards out, and the fourth was still at the ladder, waitin’ fer us to come over the side.” “This last one was McCann’s boat? Who were in It?” “I didn’t look over ter see, sir.” “Maybe not, but you know just the same. The men were all picked for the boats. Give me the names.” “Well, thar wus Liverpool, White, Dubois, Tony-an' myself, the nigger, Watson, an’—let’s see—Joe Sachs.” “Seven—with McCann and the girl— nine; not overloaded surely, and quite “Don’t Drop Your Hands, Dugan,” I Said Sternly. a picked company, worthy their chief. The other boats held more?” “About twelve men each, sir.” Leayord’s eyes met mine In silent un­ derstanding. He was seaman enough to instantly grasp the purpose, of this unequal division—the ; lighter boat Would be “the better sailor, the easier operated In a'heavy sea. ■ “Which toat was it you fellows chose?” he asked. "The port-quarter boat.” “I thought so. What’li' we do with Dugan, sir?” “Throw him into the bosun’s bunk, and then nail up the door. We’ll give him a dose of his own medldne. Move lively; there’s another job waiting us on deck.” . CHAPTER XXV. We Capture the Ship. They were In no way gentle about It, yet the work was noiselessly done, and with sailorlike thoroughness. Dugan undertook to curse, but was so Instant­ ly gagged that only the first muffled word reached me In the passage. Mas­ ters held the lantern, while the two mates refastened the door, driving home the nails with'the iron bar. The moment this was secure I was ready for the next acL “Give the lantern to Olson, Mastera. You’ve got to look after the engine- room, and leave us to attend the- deck job. There’ll be those sea-cocks to see to first, and then keep enough fire un­ der the boilers for steerageway. Down with you, and don’t pay any attention to whatever we do.” • Heavy as he was he went down the iron rungs of the ladder like a fireman answering a call, and the three of us Who were left behind In the passage, stared into each others’ faces, barely visible In the dim radius of light. - “What next, sir?” asked Leayord anxiously. ‘There’s only three of us now, an’ forty-three 0* them." “One less—you’re counting Dade, and he’s safe enough. The boy Moon is of no account, and I imagine there are twenty men out In those boats who have no heart In this business. They’d be with us now If they had any chance —Isn’t that so, Olson?” “Yas, sir—but they won’t likely git no chance.” “True enough; yet it is somethlng to knew that McCann and bis gang can­ not count on them either, if it comes to a fight As things stand it is all a mat­ ter of luck and nerve. There are only six In the boat hanging to the foot of the ladder, with McCann left alone on deck. We ought to be able to handle that bunch.” Leayord dug the iron bar he held Into the deck planks savagely. "Whet did yer tell Masters to only keep up enough steam for steerage­ way for, sir?" he asked bluntly. “I was afraid they might notice, if be fired up.” “ ’Tain’t likely, so the funnels don’t git ter blazin’. The only fellers with eny brains are in thet boat close in alongside, sir, an’ they can’t see nuthln' from thar. Them common fo’caatle rats In them other boats never would notice a bit more smoke.” "What is It," Leayord? You have -a plan? Speak quick, man; we can’t stand talking here.” “ Taln’t not much 0’ a plan, sir,” he explained briefly, “only I don’t see why we couldn’t just naturally heave this ,cuss McCann overboard, er else kill him Just as you please. Eny two 0’ us could keep that quarterboat crew from cornin’ up the ladder, an’ then, If Mas­ ters had his boilers het up, no darn rowboat could ever catch us. Thei would leave us one hand at the wheel.” It was true, the very simplicity of it making me curse my own stupidity. I stared into his face without uttering a word of comment yet with my mind grasping instantly the necessary de­ tails. With a single step I was bend­ ing over the ladder peering down into the depths below. A faint far-away light appeared at the bottom. “Masters!” Icalled, my voice thrown downward through hollowed hands. I saw his shadow emerge Into the circle of light. "Aye, aye, sir.” “Have you any pressure now?” “Fairly good, sir. The water’s draw­ ing off and the wet coal will steam up In a jiffy.” “Well, stand by for all the- steam possible, and give It to her the Instant you get the signal—only be careful not to -flame your funnels. You hear me?” “Every word, sir.” “All right; stand by, and don’t fall us.” “Now, lads,” I said, standing erect “First it’s the after cabin, and then the deck. Douse the glim, Olson; we’re better off In the dark. Follow me, and mind your fdoting.” The gloom was no handicap in that narrow space where we could feel either wall with our fingers, but I emerged into the cabin with caution, fearing the possible presence there of McCann, who might even have brought a man, or two, back on bo'ard to assist him. The hanging lamp bad been ex­ tinguished, or else it had burnt out from lack of oil, but there was a faint glimmer of light In Miss Carrington’s stateroom,. enabling me to discover at a glance that the main cabin was unoc­ cupied. Her door stood wide open, but with no signs of confusion within. What had happened? There was nothing to tell me the truth. Had Mc­ Cann succeeded In inducing her to ac-; company him on deck? Had he taken her there by force? or, had the girl finally yielded to his insistence, after' exhausting every form of delay, her last faith in my return having van­ ished? Nothing remained but to follow them, and find out what had occurred, and. If not already too late, attempt a rescue. “There’s- no one here," I said In a whisper. “We’ll try the deck; quiet both of you.” We reached the head of the stairs on our hands and knees. I bad my re­ volver gripped In my fingers,-Leayord his Iron bar, while Olson had found a hatchet' somewhere in the darkness. The . companion door was but half closed, and I squeezed my body through the opening, assured no one occupied that, immediate portion of deck. The other two followed noiseless­ ly, and we huddled close together-in the black-shadow of the cabin. So still It was I .could hear their breathing, and my eyes, trained, by long service Ir. the darkness below, were able to dis­ tinguish objects forward beyond the mainmast There was nothing living visible; to all appearances the ship was totally deserted; the last strag­ glers had taken to the boats. Olson, who lay next me on the deck jerked my sleeve, his uplifted hand pointing to­ ward the starboard rail amidships. “There’s two of ’em,” he whispered. My eyes caught the indistinct out­ lines, unable for the instant to make them appear human. Indeed I was still In doubt when McCann’s voice, with the old hateful sound In it called Into the darkness: “Below there; are you still fast?” “Aye, fast enough, ah’ blamed tired 0’ holdln’ on,” grumbled someone below testily. “Why don’t yer come along down?” " “In a minute. Is everyone In the boats?” ' . ‘I don’t know nuthin’ ’bout the steward; nobody ain’t seen him yet •less he got In somewhar else; nor Tom Dugan. Tony sez he’s In the cabin.” “Well, he Isn’t; I Just come up from there. We won’t wait for the blame As He Did So, the Girl Broke Free From Hia Grasp. fool. You flooded the engineroom, Tony?” “Sure I did, with both cocks wide open*; there’s five feet 0* water In her by now." “Good.; then it’s time we’re off. Send a hand-up. here to help me, Liverpool— the girl won’t go along.” The.men below laughed at his trouble. “Can’t yer handle that little bit 0 ’ a thing, mister?” sang out a new voice, ‘Vlthout the help 0’ a sailor man?” “Stow It, Joe Sachs,” roared Red,- and there was the dull thud of a fist blow. “Now up yer go to give the lady a lift me lad. Jump er TH take the tiller ter yer next.” Sachs must have started his upward climb, for McCann drew back from the roil, and, as he did so, the girl broke free from his grasp. The man, how­ ever, although apparently taken by sur­ prise, was quick enough to get between her and the companion. She only es­ caped the grip of his hand by shrink­ ing back against the rail. I was al­ ready on my_ feet and, as McCann Wheeled about we fronted each other. I gkve him no time even to utter a cry of alarm, my only thought being to rid the deck of such scum. Before he could move to escape, or even throw up a hand In self-defense, I had him by the throat my other band twisted In his waistband. He was a man nearly, if not qnite my own weight, yet, at that moment, mine was the strength of a giant and with one mighty effort I lifted him clear off the deck, as help­ less In my grip as if he had been a child, and, with one desperate heave, swung him out over the rail, and let go. I staggered back, weakened for an instant by my owh violence; I heard him cry out the sound muffled In his throat as he fell; Yera gave utterance to a sob, and the-whlrlir;r Jody struck the black water below with a splash plainly audible. Still gasping for breath, I leaned out and looked down. The only light was a lantern held up in the hands of a man in the boat at the foot of the ladder. I could see his face, and the dim figures of three or four others; beyond that narrow radius all Tfras black. I could not even perceive Sachs, half way up the ship's side, yet I knew he was there, clinging tight be­ cause of the tautness of the rope strands. There was no need to conceal the facts longer; we must fight in the open now. . “Leayord, come here,” I ordered. “And you, Olson, take the wheel, and ring the engineroom for full speed ahead. Jump into it lads.” I sent my voice below, stern with threat. "Get down that ladder, Sachs, just- as quick as God will let yes. Let go, you man with the lantern, or well swamp you alongside. Do you hear the steam, Liverpool? It’s full steam ahead; you fool!” It was Red’s voice which replied: - “Is that you, captain? What hap­ pened? Who went overboard?” „ “McCann; he’s astern of you, and you better pick him up as you go. Move quick! You haven’t a second to lose. Man, you’ll be sucked under, if you don’t let go!” “ They were seamen enough to realize the imminent danger of their position. Liverpool and White both called out,- and the others, grasping their oars, backed water furiously. - I saw Sachs tumble back into the boat, and a face or two staring upward. Voices roared at us, the fellows cursing lustily; then the darkness seemed to swallow them completely, and I knew from the tremor of .the deck planks that we were underway. I sprang to'Vera, and. lifted her to her feet. ' “You are not hurt?" “No, only frightened ana cruised. He threw me to the deck. Are we safe? Have they all gone?" “Yes, all who can make any resist­ ance. Hold her just as she is, Olsou; there’s a bone In her teeth already; it will take more than oars to overhaul us. Does anyone know If those fellows picked up McCann?” T think most likely they did, sir; they .WUZ swlngin’ the lantern along­side.” “Bring me the night-glasses, Leayord —aye, they’re on the shelf In the cap­ tain’s stateroom.” He returned with them before I had finished whispering a word of hope into the girl’s ear, but even that short time had so broadened the expanse of water I could conceive few details through the lens. Three of the boats were close together, bunched as though their occnpants were still unaware of Just what had occurred; the fourth boat—the one we had just left, no doubt—was much nearer, and must be entirely out of sight of the others. I got it fairly within my focus, but the occupants were indistinguishable at that distance; all I could be sure of was that the fellows were engaged In rigging up a jury mast for a sail, and that they were no longer attempting to pursue us, or making any effort to re­ join the ether boats. “Do you see ’em, sir?” asked Lea­ yord, impatience overcoming him. “Yes; Liverpool’s boat is out there, heading due west and the men are rig­ging a sail.” “And the others, sir?” ‘To starboard, at least a quarter of a mile away.” “That’s the game, then," he said, staring out Into the blackness as though he saw it all. “Them fellowB don’t care a darn what becomes 0’ the three first boats so long as they -git safe ashore. Td bet they rather they wud drown than not. I Wonder did they pick up that millionaire?" “No reason why they shouldn’t. He mUst have struck within ten feet of the boat They wouldn’t be likely to leave him behind, when-he’s their meal ticket If they ever get ashore.” “Where they heading for?” “White Fish bay.” “Well, they may git thar, if it ain’t too fur. Thet’s a good b'oat they’re In, Mr. Hollis; an’ Liverpool an’ White are both sailors all' right I’ll say that for ’em. But just the same they’re a goin’ to have ter show their traln’n before many hours." “You mean a storm? I don’t like that mist myself.” “'Tain’t only that, sir; It’s in the air; you kin sorter breathe it like. Be­ sides I took a squint at the barometer when I went below—it’s failin’ ter beat the band.” “Then we better look to our own safety; we are far too short handed to stow sail before a wind.” 1T reckon there ain’t so awful much to stow," with a glance upward into the blackness aloft. There are two men below deck you can rout out and put at work.” “Two, sir?” ■' “Aye, Mr. Leayord—Dugan and the steward. The latter you will find In one of the staterooms aft; here is the key. I leave it to you to persuade the fellows to take hold.” “I’ll do that, sir, with pleasure; and maybe, come the need, even the owner would give us a hand?” “We will not count on Mt. Bascom; he could scarcely keep his feet In a seaway,” I answered firmly. “But we have one more in the crew, neverthe­ less—Miss Carrington, here.” “The lady, sir?” “Yes," she broke In eagerly. “Cap­ tain Hollis knows, Mr. Legjftird, for he has tested, my seamanship. I could take the wheel such weather as this. May I not relieve Olson now?’’ “Yes,” I said, feeling it best to en­ courage her enthusiasm, and truly pos­ sessing faith in her capability to handle the ship. “I’ll keep you there while we get snugged away. Mr. Olson!” "Aye, aye, sir.” "Let Miss Carrington relieve you. Stand by a moment until , certain''she has the trick of it; and then come for­ ward.” “Aye, aye, sir,” but less heartily, a strong doubt in his voice. “It’s all right, Olson; she’ll hold her this weather. Now, Mr. Leayord, bring the other two men on deck.” (TO BE COlt1TINTTED.)

Certainly most of us would be sur­ prised to see a picture of the devil with a halo above his head. We have become accustomed to recognize the halo as a perquisite of sacred persons, most of whom are painted with this aura around their head, states a writ­ er. But In the olden times the devil also was painted with a.halo of his own, as medieval pictures will bear : witness, and long before his satanlc ; majesty came to be a figure in Chrisj ; tian religion, other men were repre- , sented by painters and mosaic work­ ers as having a halo over their heads. In fact, this custom antedates Chris­ tianity itself. The halo, sacred now, was a pagan Invention. Roman em­ perors and other personages were al- ways accorded a halo by painters. It i was a symbol of power. And what more natural than to invest satan with a halo when Clulstianlty took hold of : men’s souls?'

C. IOTH PESI Appearance and Spread of Insect in United States. INTRODUCED IRE IN 1869 Massachusetts Scientist Brought Cat­ erpillars From France for ExperU • menting—Chief Control Meas­ ures Are Given. (By W .E . BRITTON, Connecticut State Entomologist.) According to the best obtainable in­ formation, the gypsy moth was first brought Into this country in 1869, or thereabouts, by Mr. L. Trouvelot, an artist and astronomer who was inter­ ested in silk culture. In order to over­ come a wilt disease or “flacherie” then playing havoc in silk worm es­ tablishments, he tried to cross the silk worm with certain other species to ob- . tain a hardier or more resistant race of silk worms. Among other silk spin­ ning caterpillars in their various stages which he imported from France for this purpose were some egg-masges ■of the gypsy moth. Some of the cater­ pillars escaped accidentally from the breeding cages at his home, Medford, Mass., and though he searched for them and published a notice at the time, the affair was soon forgotten. The insect ■was not seen for years, but by 1889 Had become a serious pest in this same locality. Methods of Spread. . Gypsy moths are spread as follows: Egg-clusters are transported in many ways {.caterpillars carried on vehicles; newly hatched caterpillars are blown In a strong wind. The former method accounts for most of the isolated colo­ nies, and the latter may explain the inr crease in the area of long-standing in­ festations.- Egg-clUsters laid In summer hgtch the following spring, and the caterpil­ lars become fully grown about the first of July. They then go. into protected places and transform to lie pupa stage! From ten to fourteen days la­ ter the adults .emerge.The female is a large-bodied whitish moth, with wing-spread of more than two inches; she cannot fly but lays on tree, fence, wall or building, masses containing 400 or more globular eggs. The male is smaller and darker in col­ or and flies about. The mature cater­ pillars are between two and three inches long, dark gray or brown, and hairy. A narrow Jight stripe extends along the back with a row of tubercles on each side. Each tubercle bears light brown hair. From the head back­ ward the first five pairs of tubercles are blue and-the remaining six pairs brick-red. The chrysalis is a naked brown pupa fastened loosely by a few strands of silk. Natural Enemies. Native birds such as cuckoos, oriole, robin, vireos, etc., feed upon the Cater­ pillars. There are several predaceous insects, including the large ground bee­ tles and the "soldier bugs” which de­ stroy limited numbers. A few native two-winged and four-winged flies are parasites, but all of these agencies to­ gether do not keep the pest In check. AU insect enemies of the gypsy moth that can be found throughout Its rang? have been brought from the Old World to New England. Of these, a large ground beetle Calosoma syeo- phanta, a Tachinid fly Compsilura concinnata and two four-winged para­ sitic flies Apanteles lacteicolor and Anastatus bifasciatus have shown great effectiveness, have withstood our climate and multiplied, and have been liberated in the infested territory, In­ cluding Connecticut Control Measures. The chief control measures are creo- soting the egg-clusters, spraying the foliage with lead arsenate, applying tanglefoot bands to the trunks of trees and thinning the woodland to leave a resistant growth. • t-*} Mtrttht GYPSY f L,rc ) M OTH CYCLE DIAGRAM SHOWING LIFE HISTORY OF GYPSY MOTH. CROWN GAiL FOUND IN NURSERY STOCK CHANGES NEEDED IN SCHEDULE OF SPRAYS Young Trees Are More Suscepti­ ble to Disease Hian Older Ones--Controi Difficult {By J. M. MANN, New Mexico Agricul- . tural Experiment Station.) Crown gall is a bacterial disease which attacks such plants as the stone fruits, apples, pears, quinces, walnuts, chestnuts, poplars, willtfws, grapes, raspberries, blackberries, roses, toma­ to, tobacco, beets, hops, carnations,-; etc. The disease is caused by a specific bacterium and produces characteristic galls cr knots on the roots of its host. The knot or enlargement is often just at the crotvn of the roots, but also occurs on the smaller roots or in some instances above th% ground. The presence of the disease does not' ordinarily kill the host rapidly but as the growth of the disease continues it gradually shuts OiE the water supply of the plant attacked and death eventually follows. Young trees are much more serious-. Iy injured by the disease than older ones. The greatest spread of the disease takes place in the shipping of infected nursery stock, but the organism caus­ ing the disease can be scattered by Irrigation water or any way that in­ fected soil may be'-transferred from one field to another. Mechanical injuries occurring at the time of cultivation make open wounds through which the organism attacks the host. The control of the disease is very difficult, as the removal of the gall does not insure the eradication of the trouble from; the plant gffocted. Young trees In the nursery are more sosceptible to crown gall than older ones, and for this reason the disease t»n almost always be detected at the time of transplanting. AU 'diseased tree? should be rejected. .Colony Plan of Housing. Thu colony plan of -housing poultry . iiMiy be "adopted to good, advantage on mans’ farms.

Plan That Should Meet Condi­ tions in Most Parts Given by Professor Merrillr Fruit growers who wish the best re­ sults from, their spraying must make some changes in the schedule of sprays and the materials used, according to F. S. Merrill, assistant professor of horti­ culture In the Kansas State Agricul­tural college. A spraying schedule that should meet'the conditions In most parts is given by Professor Merrill. 1. The cluster cup spray, to be ap­ plied when the blossoin buds are just beginning to show pink. This spray should be composed of 3-4-50 bordeaux mixture.to which has been added two pounds of arsenate of lead. This is a most efficient spray for controlling scab and curculio. 2. The petal fall spray should be ap­ plied when two-thirds of the petals have fallen and should be composed of 1% gallons of concentrated lime-sul­ phur and two pounds of arsenate of lead. This is the most valuable spray for controlling the codling moth. Par­ ticular care should be taken to force the spray into the ealys cup of the apple. ' 3. The blotch spray -shoujd be ap­ plied 18 days after the petal fall spray. This spray should be composed of 3-4- 50 bordeaux and two pounds of- ar­ senate of lea(J. This is the. most effec­ tive spray for controlling the apple blotch. 4. The fourth spray should be ap­ plied twd' or three weeks after the blotch spray and should be composed of the same material as the blotch spray, it should be applied to trees that, are particularly susceptible to blotch or to orchards that have been seriously affected with this disease for. several years. ~ ' 6. Mie second-brood codling moth spray should be applied eight or ten weeks after, the petal fall spray. The application of a sixth spraytnay be necessary. In order to control a late brood Cf codling moth. It should be composed of two pounds of arseaate of lead to 50 gallons of water. It is only reasonable t'o suppose that every woman has.done something to contribute to the comfort and good cheer oif. our soldiers: at Christmas time, and Is prepared to return to the rottine duties which she ,has taken up for them. Persistence In the work of making and furnishing supplies for the Bed Cross shells "success In the women’s efforts'. It Is Inspiring to see the businesslike way in which the work of units all over the country is being handled. In nearly all communi­ ties reliable volunteer workers, women of church societies, clubs' and other or­ ganizations, report for work, at theit» Bed Cross headquarters for certain, definite periods each week. Even at some Inconvenience to themselves, these women agree upon certlin days, or certain hours, when they will report at the workrooms provided for Red Cross work, and do whatever has been assigned to them. Some women are able to give two or three days In the week, others only one, and business women sometimes give generously of their little leisure in the evenings. It is by this maintenance, of effort, week In and out, that women are making a new record for themselves, and a friendly rivalry ^ between clubs or church societies stimulates the work and keeps sewing machines and needles flying at the Bed Cross rooms. . It is reported that the Germans cap­ tured eighty hospitals In the recent drive on Italy, and that within ten days the Red Cross was able to supply hospital equipment of every, descrip­ tion to make good this big loss, and’ did make It good. The work of the women makes such a splendid per­ formance possible, and the demand for this work is going to continue for. some time. Women of wealth who can be more useful In some other lines than sewing, sometimes hire seam­ stresses to do their part; Sut it is the volunteer workers who are the strong right arm of the Red Cross In its work of caring for the sick and wounded and. needy. Those who want to make individual gifts to the soldiers ask so often: “What shall I send to the boys?” One bright young officer, in answer to that question, very promptly recommended 'three things that are always welcome; “Tobacco, soap and tooth-brushes—or tooth-brushes, tobacco and soap.” These things are - always In demand and always fill a need somewhere. They have a way of disappearing, Ilie three meals a day. Enticing “in-Time” Gown \ \ K«&*. . ...m sm " ■ A simple and lovely negligee is Aown above.' It will entice every woman Into a longing for it and espe­ cially her who has little time, in there strenuous days, for rest and refresh­ ment at home. It is more commend­ able than ever to remember to be at­ tractively dressed within the four walls of -home'and to be-able, to help, others to relax and forget the' caves of the times for a little while. This negligee is made of a soft, light satin In any of the pale colors used for negligees. It is almost as simple as a kimono, being a straiglit'-gown, open down the front with a loose three- quarter length sleeve set in a large' sjrm’s eye. It is hemmed down the front and finished at the bottom with a big cable coid run in a narrow hem, after the maimer of Japanese robes. There is a loose girdle at the waist made of a 'folded strip of the satin. It termi­ nates at each side of the front, where tb« ends are folded under. A short leiigth of ribbon is knotted at the ends of the girdle on each side and fails. In a pointed end-about eight Inches be- Iovf the waist. ..Between-the ends of ribbon a small wreath of litfle silk blossoms and buds, gives a final dainty touch of gay colors to the girdle and makes a contribution to the . beauty of the garment almost evualto, that of the-luce drapery. This W merely a Ieneth of wide silk lace. / showing a rose design on a net top. It forms a short cape across the back and Is laid in three plaits on the shoul­ ders with the scalloped edge laid along the neck opening. At the ends It is caught to the back drapery. The straight edge of the lace falls almost- to the bottom of the sleeves. The negligee is tforn over a lace pet- tlcorit and fastens from bust to waist­ line with snap fasteners. A ribbon-, trimmed lace cap and ribbon-trimmed, satin house slippers, with silk stock­ ings, all In keeping with the negligee, help to make It the most exquisite of house gowns ‘or "in-time” gowns as they are called. Waists. The newest note in waist fashions i> the use of batiste In ecru, flesh.-ant- white, says the-Dry Goods Economist Self-material \v*h dainty picotr hen stitching: or faggotting,^forms the oul; trimming in many cases, althougi touches of hand embroidery are usee on some of the more elaborate styles - There Is a conspicuous absence of filr | luce as a trimming; feature in thes- ! waists.

Potato water, may be used In yeast, bread, gravies and grid­ dle cakes. As the min­ eral salts are largely dis­ solved in the water while cooking the vegetables it is economy to save every bit and use it in the food in some way. A tablespoonful of condensed milk added 'to a bowl of- cream that has been whipped, stirring it In well, adds to Its flavor arid Increases the amount that much. A small flashlight is a great conveni­ ence around closets or cupboards that are dark. • They are useful also in looking into cupboards and drawers. When food scorches and spoils a good dish, do not scrape It, but add a tablespoonful of soda and enough- cold water to cover the bottom of; the dish, boll up and then set It back to soften. A glassful of. hot milk will help many to remedy sleeplessness, taken In sips just before-retiring. Por tired and aching feet a table­ spoonful of formaldehyde In a bowl of hot water, allowing the feet to soak 10 or 15 minutes, will greatly relieve them. To. rub them with alcohol or vinegar, will be found soothing. Add a cupful of cooked rice to a meat loaf. It will make the meat go much farther. . A Turkish towel wrung out of hot water and applied to the back of the- neck wUl often relieve a sick head­ ache. Lubricate your meat chopper with glycerine. It will not flavor the food or become rancid. ' A teaspoonful of glycerine added to. grape Jelly will- keep the crystals from forming In It, which are so objection­ able. If a little cold water' is added to but­ ter ang sugar when creaming It wlH cream twice as quickly. Do no seas'on steak until It Is ready to put upon-the platter.' Wiien putting a cake into -the tins, push the batter up on the sides if a layer tin, or from the center If a loaf. It will bake with a more even surface, avoiding the hump inNthe middle which Is so unsightly. Sliced bananas with sugar and whlp- ped cream heaped . into a baked shell.

How bitterly the German reseats the appellation “Hun” is illustrated by the news that Flight Sergeant Alexundet Boyd of the Royal Flying corys has been,sentenced by his German Captor8 to one year imprisonment for aimivlnsr tbts “insult” to his guards. The Cologne Gazette learns from Its Berlin correspondent that this avia­ tor was shot down In the North sea by a German torpedo boat and forced to sit. idly In his ruined but floating machine while the Prussian rowboat came to take . him oft. He sought to dispatch a carrier pigeon from hlj plane,: hearing the message, “Shot down at 6 :42. Picked up by the Huns." This, Germans captured the pigeon before It could escape and read the message.

HELPFUL HINTS AND ECONOMIES A^ most tasty fab for various uses may be made by trying out suet and mixing it while still hot with an equal portion ^ of lard, stir until well mixed, and it will always stay soft enough to be mixed into any food. When giving a baby medicine, place the tip of the spoon against the roof of the baby’s mouth.; in this way it is Impossible for the child, to choke or object to. the contents of the spoon by sputtering. When teaching a baby to eat from a spoon the same method will prcfte use­ ful. An old cook claims that all fish are better If allowed to He two hours or more before they are cooked. A medicine dropper which refuses to function witt be made active again by dropping it Into hot water. The heat softens the rubber, and expands It. ' A thick slice of liam parboiled In a little water, then Covered with sweet milk, and a little brown sugar, and baked slowly, makes a most delicious meat dish.

The old batteries which are useless and discarded from the auto may be burned In the grate after a wood fire has been started, making the most beautiful -colors, especially delightful for a fireside party. . A tablespoonful of olive oil with a few drops of vinegar will ease a mid­ night cough when all else falls. * Half of a wooden clothes pin will keep a wind-rattled window quiet through the sleeping hours.

In the wild' state' nor the uncivilized races suffer fromrcon­stipation. • .,<• . ■ TheyCause, of course, Is not Just one thing ln all cases, but By far the great­ est' number of cases of'-constipation 'are due to faulty diet Take bread, the so-called staff of life. 'It may have been a Tellablei Staff to '""-iViue CONSTIPATION CURED WITHOUT ; PILLS. Bran, whole wheat flour, bulky foode . fruita, vegetables/ -’greens,’' water, exercise, fresh air, a-strong determi­ nation and no pills or purgatives turn the trick. lean oja In the days of the mpper and nether" millstone, When our ancestors got AU the good of the whole wheat But today that refined, colorless, lnsip- ld, dehaturlzed substitute which makes the excuse offered as bread Is robbed Utmost of its mineral matter, most of Its blood building salts and all of its natural laxative elements. ITmre the patent cereals sold as break­ fast'food-^bozed wind, as you might say, at an exorbitant price; pretty.

We know now that' indigestible residue Is essential to the natural; func­ tion of the bowels, besides being an aid to normal digestion. Bran may- be taken In any cereal, In soup, in the form of bran gems.- bran cookies, bran biscuit or bran bread. Ii should be taken In some form- af. prac­ tically every meal unless whole: wheat or graham*. bread is restored to the menu In place of the anemic -white bread of modem times. ;■ Such vegetables and fruits as; may be eaten raw are advisable In the !dally ration whenever iney can be obtained.' Fruits containing seeds are especially helpful to normal bowel: function and never a catise ©f appendicitis, as jsome misguided folk imagine; Indeed; 'one predisposing: cause of appendicitis is chronic constipation, attributable to In- suficient cohrse food. And the abuse of physics Is another predisposing cause of appendicitis, as of piles and other In­ testinal diseases. . y ;• By a diet rich In the indigestible sub­ stances supplied by nature for a wise purpose and'.a regular hablt of going to stool at a definite time each day .or sev­ eral times (really natural bowel move­ ments occur shortly after each of the three meals),.by the free drinking of water and moderate open air exercise and the scrupulous avoidance of crude “liver pills”-= and other harmful', drugs, the average Individual can soon devel­ op a natural'bowel function and- keep it so for life/ ______. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS. Tumor Is Not Cancer.Please explain the difference between tumor and dancer. Answer.—Tumor is any swelling ox growth—for instance, a harmless fatty tu­ mor, on the Skin. Cancer is a malignant, poisonous growth or uloeration. A tumor may do harm by pressing on important structures or interfering with important functions. A cancer kills by sibwly poison­ ing the victim. XetiheOther Place.
