 ID DEAD MEMBERS
Impressive Memorial Services Held in EIkS' Hall YeS-
 terday Afternoon

The local lodge of Elks held memorial services yesterday afternoon in their hall, Fourth avenue and Twentieth street, in honor of the members who had died within the year.

 The members of the local lodge who died since the last memorial services year ago were Dr. Brown of Bessemer, E. Chuck the jeweler, D. c. Redington the photographer and Col Erwin Schillinger, whose death oc- cured last week.
 In addition to the regular lodge ceremon- les appropriate to the occasion, number of short addresses were delivered and Pro- lessor Grambs' orchstra rendered several numbers selected for the occasion Oliver Chanfoux played violin solo accompanied by Mrs Chalifoux on the piano, and Prof. Phil Memoli rendered a cornet solo. Dr. Owen P. Fitzsimmons offered the opening prayer and the benediction, and Richard F. Johnston delivered short eulogy of the deceased

LOST HIS LIFE
 FOR ONE NICKEL
Two Negro Boys Quarrel Over a Five Cent Piece and
 One is Dead

Henry Harris, a 17-year-old negro boy, was shot and killed in the street in front of the Elyton Methodist Church about Il o'clock last night The shot is said to have been fired by another negro boy named Ellard about the same age of the Harris boy.
 It is said that several negro boys were playing in the street and that Harris and Ellard got into a quarrel over a nickel. Harris picked up a stick and Ellard got a gun. The shot followed. It is claimed by some of those present that Harris, in the struggle, accidentally caused the discharge of the gun and that the ball thus fired en- tered his body and pierced his heart, death resulting almost instantly
 Coroner Paris was notified and went at once to the scene of the tragedy to make an Investigation He will probably hold an inquest this morning.

 After the services Bishop Allen and his clergy dined with MT. Frank II. Holt. Tn the afternoon the bishop drove overland to Bessemer, where he blessed the bell for St. Aloysius Church.

HTS NOT BIRTH
Nor Wealth, Nor State, But Git uip ard
 Git That Make Men Great"

This is the motto on the letterhead of a well-known grocery firm in Watertown, N. Y, Fred B. Bush & Co.,, and is indicative of the character of the men. MT. Bush himself had quite an experience with food in relation to health, as he was refused in surance three years ago because the ex- amining physician found he had Bright,s disease and could only live short time at the best.
 My own physician suggested that I make radical change in diet. About that time my attention was called to Grape Nuts food, and I began with doctors per- mission to use this food. Of course, had been forbidden the use of sugar or starchy food, but my doctor knew that Grape-Nuts was composed of the starch of wheat and barley transformed into grape sugar, and in this condition Is easily digested.
 ITO make long story short. GrapeNuts has been a constant dish at my table for three years. have taken no medicine dur ing this time, and I am now strong and healthy and capable of doing hard days work every day."
 So much for pure food, properly selected and perfectly cooked by experts at the fac tory. There is not a single disease in the category of human ills but what can be helped by the use of pure food of this char acter and most of the ordinary diseases can be cured

The Future Of China.

The reported action of Germany in
backing up the stand taken by the
United States, England and Japan
makes it well assured that there will
be no partitioning of China, whatever
other punishment may be inflicted up
on that empire after the allied forces
have pushed their way to Pekin. The
commercial interests of the countries
named, not to mention the permanent
( well being of the Chinese themselves,
make it certain that any land grabbing
enterprise will be opposed with great
determination. All American and Eng
lish writer's on Chinese questions are
Well agreed upon this point, and con-
sequently much satisfaction is ex-
pressed with the tone of the circular
sent out by the state department. In
an article in the last number of Har-
per's Weekly that eminent authority on
Oriental matters, Hon. John Barrett,
declares: America should resist with
all her moral influence such parcelling
out of the empire, and may prevent it,
She cannot declare war on European
nations in order to save China; she can
accomplish more by firm, peaceful
than by belligerent attitude. She
should insist on her rights, but not join
in scramble for territory
Mr.. Barrett regards it as improbable
that a partition will take place. He
sums up as follows the influences that
will help to keep China intact:
First, she has survived many other
shocks, some of which We're as severe
as this. notably the brief wars with
Japan. France and England, and for
mer rebellions. Second. the powers of
Europe and Japan are keenly jealous
of each other. and will admit of no
division that is not satisfactory. They
may even become engaged in inter-
national war, and China be the least
sufferer. Third, the United States.
which in a way holds the key to the
moral situation, is opposed to any
alienation of territory, while Great
Britain and Japan maintain the same
attitude. Fourth, there is large ele
ment of very able men in China, despite
common opinion to the contrary, that
have sufficient statesmanlike qualities
to govern China wisely and successful
ly. These would be supported by a
considerable part of the population
that is ready to take active interest in
public affairs, if there be no danger of
political exile or punishment Who
can doubt the ability of such men, for
instance, as the eminent Chinese minis
ter at Washington to take the lead in
guiding China out of her present diff
cultics? Fifth, it will be found that
Chnas particular weakness in the
present trouble is the lack of national
police. or of organized forces of law
and order, such as a well-trained
army

English Army Nurses.

Army nurses have to pass through
a severe course of training before they
are considered competent to take care
of Tommy Atkins and his officers when
they may be i'll or wounded. AS a rule,
gained in one or more of our great
London hospitals, such as st. Thomas
or Guys. where they make a general
acquaintance with their duties; and it
is here that those whose hearts are not
in the work are soon Weeded out.
After a time they pass to smaller hos
pitfalls. and there they gain much prac-
teal acquaintance with accident and
disease. and moreover. acquire q proper
amount of self-confidence and resource
in cases of emergency.
Their names having been entered as
army practitioners. they are required
in due course to proceed to Netley Hos
pital. where they meet the regular
army nursing staff, and pick up SER
vice methods and routine. and begin
to appreciate the red tape of the War
Office. Much as that ancient insti-
tuition has to answer for, there are
strange tales of Bumbledom, even in
connection with this branch of the
service.
The nurses term as probationers be-
ing ended. they are. if physically suit
able. duly placed on the army list. and
become soldiers Of the Queen" Their
first station is usually at home and
the remainder of the service is divided
between home and abroad in much the
same proportion as that of the line
regiments.

PENOBsCOr MILLS STARTING.
SawmiIIs Resuming Operations After a Long

Bangor Me-, July 15.-After long

the Penobscot river AT and below Ban

The shutdown of these mills early in
the season was caused by a log famine,

the PenobScot river. Usually there are
plenty of logs for the mills in May, or
d-June at the latest. but this year, ow-
ing to ia ms and low water. all the drives
were greatly delayed, so that the booms
have been empty and the mills without
stock to saw.
Many mills will saw sparingly, owing to
the prevailing low prices for lumber III

spot in the situation is the strong condi-
ton of the British deal market, which
will take 20 OoO.tJ0 feet Of spruce from
