SCHOOL DESTROYED.
American Property at Kessab Raided
by Mohammedans.

Beirut, Asiatic Turkey, May IAN
Investigator who has just returned here
from a trip to Kessab. reports that all
the American property at that place
has been completely destroyed by the
Moslem raiders. The American proper
ty there consists of girls high school,
under the direction of Miss Eff1e N.
Chambers. Three-fourths of the native
houses also have been destroyed, but
the Armenian church and the new
protestant school building are stand
ing.
Almost all the people who fed from
Kessab have returned to find their
houses looted. They are absolutely des-
titute. Some food and clothing are
being distributed. but there Is no sys-
tenn in the work, and the supplies are
entirely Inadequate.
One hundred Turkish reserves have
returned to the town. but as they took
part in the rioting and killing there,
the people cannot trust them.
The protection they afford is in nc
sense sufficient. The situation at
Deurtyul, on the coast north of Kes-
sab, still is critical.
A recent report from Miss Chambers,
the missionary mentioned above, says
that her school had a good year. II
had been attended by 80 students, OF
whom Is had graduated and gone out
to teach in the lower schools of the reg
ion or continue their studies at Aintah
seminary.
Miss Chambers maintained also a
kindergarten with As pupils.
There was at Kessab a congregation
of 1900 protestants. and in addition to
its schools. the missionary station
maintained a church library and vari-
Iious young peoples societies.

Cult of Beauty in Bosnia.

Half century ago traveller in Bosnia found the poorest peasant woman an adept in the arts and ad- juncts of the toilet.
 Her store of cosmetics was said to be astonishing" comprising oil of roses, rose water, extracts of musk, saffron and amber. She dyed her hair black and dressed with with "kna," while her eyebrows and eyelashes were darkened with a powder made from a green nut burned black (schischark). She painted her cheeks with powdered flower of the iris and her nails with yet another floral product. For de- pilatory she used lime and alum.
 In spite of these aids, however. the beauty of the Bosnia woman was a fading thing at 30.

Misapplyinq Music.

q went to a fashionable wedding the other day" remarked man who has little time for such things, ana was decidedly impressed by tho character of the music that was played while the assembled guests were wait ing for the wedding party to arrive. The principal number played by the orchestra was an air from one Of the most modern operas. It marks the en- trance of the heroine of the plece who is coming on the scene to take part in a wedding of complaisance with the hero, who is generally regard ed as one of the greatest blackguards the world of opera knows. Every character on the stage knows that the Buddhistic wedding ceremony that IS to take place is sham and the mar riage turns out to be tragedy of the shabbiest sort. And yet that music was played in church that stands for intelligence if any one congrega- tion in this town does.'

Pay As You Go. If You Don't Live Right You Will Lose Your Good Health.

There are certain things which men do which are thought to be harmful. There are excesses of feeding, and drinking, and dressing. and playing. You may not believe you are paying as you go-paying in loss of health-but you are and soon your cheeks fade and your bright eyes are dull. your sweet breath of youth is tainted, your soft, smooth skin, rough and dry Ma ture is collecting her due-you are pay ing as you go.
 Take account of yourself. Live right, breath right, think right, eat right. You owe it to yourself and the world to do your work with your utmost capacity You can't do it on or with a sour stomach, impure blood or tired brain. Eat right and you'll sleep right. Do both right and you'll work right. Work right and you'll succeed largely. Meats and rich foods do not start the day well. Make your breakfast of E-C Corn Flakes or Egg-O-See Wheat Flakes-always ready to serve, easy to digest, ample in muscle and nerve building, sufficient in vitalizing force.
 Remember it's the wonderful Egg-O- See process that makes them so good to eat
