ADM|RAL'S LAST CHILD
WILL ENTER CONVENT
Naval Officer Whose Daugh-
tiers Have All Left Home
Says He Is Lonely.

BALTIMORE, November Sad and
lonely in his library at the Severn apart
menrs,, Rear Admiral Robert Potts, re-
tired, admitted yesterday that he had
been unable to persuade his third and
last daughter. Miss Frances Potts, to
abandon her desire to follow her two
sisters into a nunnery. Today Miss Potts
is to enter a Carmelte convent in this
city and become member of that ex-
elusive order Her eldest sister. Miss
Marie. vas the founder of convent in
Manila, and her other sister is in the
Carmelite convent in Philadelphia.
why did all three Of your daughters
choose the convent life?" the admiral
was asked.
II cannot TELL" he answered. but
from childhood they all seemed TO lean
toward it. l tried my best to persuade
each not to enter a convent, but 1t did
not seem to do any good.
Il have one son, Lewis J. Potts. who
is a lawyer in New York, but in nv
declining years am left without any Of
my children and am all alone. My wife
died some time ago
Hopes She May Return.
Admiral Potts cherishes some slight
hope that his third daughter may return
to him. He recalled that the nuns have
one year after they enter the convent in
which, if they have become dissatisfied
for any reason, they may withdraw,
and" he said, II am hoping that before
the year is over she will come back to
me. as I am very lonely"
The Carmelite convent in Baltimore is
at B!ddle and Caroline streets The
nuns never go out and are allowed
to talk with visitors only through bars
Permission to raise their wells must be
obtained from the chaplain. They wear
brown robes and devote their time, when
not occupied with their religious duties
to making altar cloths, priests vest
ments and other articles used by the
church.

Bird Jekyll and Hyde.

The catbird is our northern mock ing bird. When love attunes it's voice, it can warble as sweetly as the night ingale You must catch it in one of its melting moods. if you would know the charm of its liquid notes. It is not at all beautiful-no more is the mocking bird - only a gray-brown, perky, restless thing. of lesser size than the robin, with the soul of song in it.
 The wonder of the catbird lies, of course, in this, it's dual nature. At one time it hops about screeching con- plaints against the circumambient air; at another there throbs out from it's delicate throat the essence of a divine melody.-Philadelph Press.

REDlSCOVER A WONDER CAVE
Explorers Locate It In Depths of Royal Gorge 500 Feet Above River
 How Found.

Canon City, Col.-Another attrac' tion has just been added to Canon Citys list of scenic wonders by the rediscovery of a wonderful cave in the depths of the Royal Gorge by a party organized from the Canon City Merchants association.
 For many years there have been ru- mors of the existence of such cav ern, but, owing to the difficulty of crossing the river and exploring the region, all efforts to find it proved un- availing.
 A recent letter to Guy U. Hardy from G. A Anderson of Portland. Ore, gave a description of the cave and its location.
 Following the description the party crossed the river near the gorge station one mile east of the hanging bridge, and found the entrance to the cavern in a ravine about 500 feet above the river.

COFFEE CONGESTION Causes a Variety of AiIs.

A happy old lady in Wisconsin says:
 During the time I was a coffee thinker l was subject to sick head aches, sometimes lasting or days, totally uniting me for anything.
 To this affliction was added, some years ago, trouble with my heart that was very painful, accompanied by a smothering sensation and faint ness.
 Dyspepsia, also, came to make life harder to bear l took all sorts of pat ent medicines but none of them helped me for any length of time.
 The doctors frequently told me that coffee was not good for me; but without coffee 1 felt as if I had no breakfast I finally decided about years ago to abandon the use of cof- fee entirely, and as I had read a great deal about Postum I concluded to try that for a breakfast beverage.
 T liked the taste of it and was par ticularly pleased to notice that it did not come up as coffee used to. The bad spells with my heart grew less and less frequent and finally ceased altogether and have not had an at tack of sick headache for more than year. My digestion is good. too, and 1 am thankful that I am once more a healthy woman. 1 know my wonder ful restoration to health came from quitting coffee and using Postum-" Name given by the Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.
 There's a reason" and it is this. Coffee has a direct action on the liver with some people, and causes partial congestion of that organ preventing the natural outlet of the secretions. Then may follow biliousness, sallow skin, headaches, constipation and final ly change of the blood corpuscles and nervous prostration.

College Professor Says Empires VIII Be Driven to Fate of Rome if
 Wives Don't Reform.

New York.-lf Prof. Scott Nearing who holds chair in the economic de partment of the University of Penn sylvania, does not get "in bad" with the modern woman, then wonders never cease. Hear him:
 "N the women of today continue to be the economic burdens to men that they are now they will ruin this coun- try just as the absolute women of Rome ruined that empire.
 "The wife no longer contributes to the family income by creating values. With the increased standard of elab- crate dressing she is often it's chief burden

 And whose is the fault?" was asked.
 Nobody is to blame," answered Professor Nearing. "The women of today are not to blame for what they are. any more than are the men.
 But the time has come when two roads open before the woman of the future. Either she must continue to be parasite and go down to ruin. dragging nations with her, or she must become a producer with an economic necessity for her existence"

Chicago Board of Health Issues
 Warning Bulletin.
Urges Vegetarian Diet and Gives Pointers to Those Who Must Have Meat-Much Nutrition
 in Cheap Steak.

Chicago-"Don't make a junkshop of your stomach" is the warning of the Chicago health department in the weekly bulletin issued the other day
 The editor of the bulletin advocates vegetarian diet, but for those who must have meat with their meals he points out way to get around the high cost of living problem.
 The cost of an article of food Is no true guide as to its real nutritive value" he says. For example, glass of pure milk with bread and butter, an egg and a dish of fruit, costing all told 25 cents, is a much better meal for the average person than big sir loin steak, which, with trimmings, will cost five times as much"
 The trouble with many people Is they are willing to pay high prices for food that, while 1t tickles or pleases their palates, is of no more value than that costing much less.
 "A pound of protein or fat from tenderloin steak at 28 cents pound contains no more nutrition than the same amount from shoulder or round steak at less than half the expense Even in these days of high prices 20 cents will buy meat enough, with vege- tables added, to make savory and nourishing stew for six persons; and the entire cost, including bread. butter, coffee and vegetables. need not ex- ceed 10 cents per person.
 According to the Londan Lancet there is very little difference between the nutritive value of wheat and rye One distinct advantage of rye bread is that it keeps fresh longer than wheat bread. Rye bread also has dis tinct laxative properties
 "The effect of deep breathing as a mental stimulant is very pronounced Two minutes exercise of deep breath ing will remove all feelings of slug gishness. provided of course, that the exercise be taken in room with the windows wide open. or. better still, in the open air.
 "The mouth Is the seat of many of the communicable diseases. For this reason mouth sanitation is important A clean mouth and sound teeth are big factors in promoting physical health Oral hygiene. as 1t is called is becoming an important and recog nized branch of medical school inspec- tion. It is we'll understood that proper care and attention given to the mouth means that the child will be healthier. better able to assimilate it's food, make better progress in its studies and be less liable to attack from the usual epidemic diseases of childhood.
 During the months of January and February of this year 13.45s physical examinations were made of children in the public schools. Of this number 5.350 were found to require treatment The principal ailments. and to which parents were urged that immediate at tention be given. were as follows

To the Editor of the Daily Courier:
An article appeared some days ago
| in your valuable paper, written by d
Seventh Day Adventist. The writer is
on safe prophetic ground, as to the
final outcome of Turkey Cor more cor

with great fury to destroy. and utterly
to make away many.
And he shall plant the tabernacles
Of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain, yet he shall
! come to his end, and none shall help
him"
That this prophecy will at some time
meet with a complete fulfllment the
writer Is fully assured of, after twenty
five years of careful and prayerful
study Of the word Of God. The present
war forced upon Turkey by Italy, has
even at this early stage, developed
some strong points, that 1t may be the

next?
And at that time shall Michael stand
