ENGLAND IS PLAGUED
WITH OLD MOSQUITO
Perfcrating Pests Usually Called

of Britishers Miserable.

LONDON. Sept 23.-England is
nlagued with mosquitoes. The popular
idea IS that the tantalizing fly comes
with the importation of foreign fruit.

WAYS been mosquitoes in England. only
this wear they are worse than usual
At the present time there are some
twenty recognized Britishbred species, OF
which the "anopheles" is perhaps the
best known.
During the winter the mesquite HI
hernates In cellars or some other dark
sheltered spot. All the males die before
the spring. but the females come out
with the first warm weather and lay
their larvae in stagnant water. Very
soon the young mosquitoes are Matched
and ready 10 fly In tens OF thousands
all over the land. where they are gen
orally mistaken for ordinary gnats.
DESPITE the present chilly weather the
MOSQUITO still pursues its cheerful way

Clemenceau Flops Again.

DR.. Georges Clemenceau has just shift

ing been a Revolutionary up TO today and
author of the most destructive theories
against the social order, suddenly he
has turned against the avowed chief
Of French Socialism. NJ. Jaures- He has
refused TO follow this demagogue in his
attacks against patriotism.
Henceforth DR.. Clemcnccau must be
classed among Conservatives. and this.
after his having taken part IN the Com
nune OF Paris. is an unexpected climax.
HIS attitude is explained by his atavism.
DR. Clemenceau descends In direct line
from the Vendceans. who. in 1873. took
up arms for the Convention and risked
their lives for their democratic ideas.
What one calls anti-militarism, that
is TO say, the theory which repudiates
all recourse to armed force in the dis
putes Of people against people. is con-
trary to his conbatiye spirit. and we

Going through the hospitals in our

q large proportion of the patients lying
on those snow-white beds women
and girls, who are either awaiting
or recovering from serious opera

Why should this be the case? Sim
plv because they have neglected them
selves. Ovarian and womb troubles
are certainly on the increase among
the women of this country-they creep
upon them unawares, but every one of
those patients in the hospital beds had
plenty of warning in that bearing
down feeling, pain at left or right OF
the womb, nervous exhaustion, pain in
the small of the back, leucorrhoea, diz-
ziness, fatulency, displacements OF the
womb or irregularities. All of these
SYMPTOMS are indications of an un-
healthy condition of the ovaries or
womb, and if not needed the penalty
has to be paid by dangerous operation.

GREAT RESPECT FOR DEAD
Rough Riders of Russia Bury Their
Comrades with Impressive
Ceremony.

Wild and rough as are the Cossacks
they are peculiarly sentimental and as
susceptible as children to the emotion
of the hour, whether it be anger or sym
pathy. One Of the most striking sights
l have ever witnessed, writes a war cor
respondent, was the whole Of Mlstchen-
kos division paying its respects to the
remains of the four Cossacks who were
killed. and mutilated below Sindee.
It was some time back, just toward
the end of the summer. The burial was
fixed for nine a. m. Mistchenko and all
his staff were there and the Fourth Chita
regiment, to which the men belonged,
was accorded the place of prominence in
the ceremonies. There were no coftins
available and the bodies were wrapped in
plated straw, but so smothered with
wild flowers and native grasses that 1t
was impossible to see the ghastly blood
stains soaking through the covering till
the corpses were. lifted from the
stretchers to be placed In the grave.
The churchly accessories were scanty.
An old table had been brought from a
deserted Chinese hut and on It was
placed an old regimental ikon and be-
fore it a single bit of wax candle, the
nearest approach to taper that could
be had. The priest of the Barnaulskl
regiment officiated and as he took his
place before the table the order Hats
of; pray" was passed down the line
Mistchenko, setting the example, uncov-
cred and bowed his head while the men
knelt, bareheaded, but each with his
carbine between his knees.
The church accessories may have been
poor and simple, but the temple was
magnificent. It was Gods own house, a
walled-in valley with green hills rising
on every side and over all rising 9 single
peak that might have been the Ispire of
this mighty cathedral. t.
The service, simple but affe ecting, was
soon over. The priest blessed thebodies
and the stretchers were raised shoulder
high and born up the hill past, the
massed regiments, the band playing a
dead march.
Mistchenko and his staff followed on
foot like the rest, and after the Cossacks
had placed the bodies in the open grave
he threw in handful Of earth and each
officer and man of the regiment did
likewise. Then the general shook hands
with the priest, thanking him for his at
tendance on the dead, and also shook
hands with and thanked the four Co.'S
sacks who had stood in the grave to re-
ceive the bodies.
Before the assembly was dismissed
Mistchenko briefly addressed the men,
warning them under no circumstances
to commit any reprisal on the dead or
wounded Japs who should fall into their
hands. And so far as have ever heard
this mandate has been obeyed. j. But
before the day was out we had another
skirmish with the Japs and heard that

MEN ARE NOT WANTED.

"Men go to cooking school? or

charge of the cooking classes of the
New York high schools. 1--WE have lots
of men who attend our classes and lee

They are not only professional cooks
who want to perfect themselves in their
work but men who from appearances
are owners of their own homes. They
come here to find out why they "don't
get good food A. their homes, and to
find out how they can get it. Then there
are lots of men who go camping or
yachting each year, and therefore want
to know something about cooking. Per-
haps some of them do the culinary
honors At their respective homes. Any
how, there are lots of New York men
who are learning to cook here, and their
number is growing" %%
That is, in New York. In Chicago
men don't want to learn to cook, or the
cooking schools don't want them. Al
all events, there are none learning al
present.

not" says Mrs. Evans, of the Schoo
