Red Cross Christmas Seals.

The National Association for the

will this year for the first time be ma
tional agent for the American Red
Cross in handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national Office has
been opened in Washington. and an
initial order has been placed for So
100000 seals, although 1t is expected
that double that number will be sold.
The charge to local agents for the
seals will be 1914 per cent. of the gross
proceeds, the national agent furnish
ing the seals and advertising material,
and taking back all unsold seals at the
end of the season. Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock has approved of the de
sign of the seal. Owing to the fact
that many people last year used Red
Cross seals for postage, the post office
department has given orders that let
tiers or packages bearing seals on the
face will not be carried through the

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago 1 noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, It soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If l would have them in water for a
long time. they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. / could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used"

the Plimsoll mark of the boat on
which l rode was far under water
and one of these fine days there will
be a horrible accident to the world
wide shame of the American flag.
At this critical time there is danger
that such abuses of the American
name may injure the future of Ameri-
can capital even as the infamous
American railway concession in China
brought the nation into a disrepute
there from which it has only of late
been recovering. America asks moth
ing of Turkey except opportunity to
do legitimate business. and to be good
neighbors. The American government
should be at pains to see that all
American representatives shall be
worthy of the flag that they fly.

think call for vigorous investigation
by the government The flag is fly
ing over enterprises which are not
conducted in American fashion, and
which bring into disrepute the good
name of the nation.
Most conspicuous among these, and
of especial interest to Americans just
now, because of the shipping subsidy
agitation is an American Line" of
steamers which run to Mediterranean
ports, flying the American flag. 1t GER
tainly looks good to an American to
see the Stars and Stripes flying on

and the story behind 1t. The Ameri-
can Line has a fleet of nearly dozen
ships, bearing names Of states. know

age across the Mediterranean.
AS far as l can gather from various
sources, the company which owns the
ships nominally has the majority of

chant of Smyrna, who went to Amer
lea and became n naturalized citizen.

getting the advantages Of American
citizenship. lie is the nominal chief
stakeholder in the American Line. in

opening under the American flag.
American protection releases them
from all obligation to the Turkish law.
BY reason of the capitulations in
force here every American enterprise
is free from Turkish supervision and
an INSCRIPTIONS person or persons, as
may readily be seen, can greatly abuse
the rights of American citizenship.
What the Flag Covers.
In the case of this American Line"
which is a scandal throughout the Le-
want. the company ostensibly secured
American registration about a year
ago I'm order to escape the Turkish Law
whereby its ships could be used for
the transport of troops. Critics say
that this is the same company that
previously ran the ships, but simply
under another and an American name.
They fly the flag over their offices and
over the ships; but / venture to say
that there are MOTIVE persons in the
whole outfit who could tell whether

tato or the president of the United

A Governors Invitation.
This district slone needs an In
vestment OF five hundred million
francs of foreign capital. We are now
having drawn specifications OF vast
project for this great Gill
clan plain. | shall be glad to let you
have, and to send to any interested
and responsible persons in America,
detailed information such as would be
necessary to make bids. Americans
are familiar with irrigation work and
skilled in this department of engineer
ing; so we should be very glad to have
responsible firms seek this contract
and l could assure them that there
will be no difficulty about the neces-
sary government concession.
Here in the city of Adana we need
to install an electric lighting plant, a
tramway system, a water system, a
telephone system, and a sewage sys-
TEN. All these public utilities are
open to foreign capital with a good
return and abundant security assured.
Not only win Adana, which has
sixty thousand inhabitants, grow to
much larger city, with the advent of
the Bagdad railway and the develop
ment of our agricultural and cotton
industry, but to the east of us on the
Cilician plain there should be another
city. 1t is bound to come. With 1t
will come all kinds of opportunities for
capital. should be glad If you would
extend this invitation to interested
Americans.
In the way of general trade, there
is an almost unlimited field here. For
a few years past we have imported
every year a number of modern agri-
cultural machines, costing as high as
$4,000 a piece. These came from Enc.
land, yet we know that America is
the home OF modern harvest machin-
cry. Why do not your manufacturers
send out agents into all this agricul
tural country, or secure native agents
in order TO promote their business"

changed order which brings in the
new fashions of the western style

Another Blow at the Novelist.

Is it well to marry the woman you
rescue from drowning? the New York
Evening Mail asks. The suit for di-
vorce for "incompatibility of tempera-
ment," filed at Reno by woman
whom her husband had plucked from
the sea at Asbury Park six years be-
fore, intimates that it is not we'll.
But wherefore? The reasons are
triple: Cd People do not like to live
in constant presence of some one to
whom they are under so heavy debt.
90 Lifelong content in double har-
ness should rest on congenial tenn
peraments, not on some romahtis
stunt. 90 Such marriages are usual
ly between the summer man and the
summer girl, and therefore do not
envisage life's realities.

DIVIDE ALASKA.

The suggestion made by Congress
mar william Sulzer that the Alaska
problem be solved by dividing the
territory into three parts, giving
each a territorial form Of govern
ment, is a good one. 1t ought to
come pretty neal settling the diff
fculty. That something must be
done for that extreme northwest pos
session Of the United States is GER
tain. It is a part of the main land
Of North America and is, in realty,
more entitled to our consideration
than Hawaii or u other island pos
sessions. Besides, Alaska is being
rapidly settled by Americans who
have gone there from the states
knowing full well what our govern
ment is.
BY dividing Alaska into several
Perth Amboy evening news., 1911-08-29


territories those sections gAhb are
more thickly populated can be cared
for accordingly, while the vast tracts
of frozen waste caa be let alone.
In advancing his argument Congress-
nan sulzer says by making a single
territory of southwestern Alaska 1t
would soon become as rich and as
prosperous as Norway and Sweden
combined. The congressman is right.
The people of that section are en- it
led to our consideration. The coun-
try needs to be opened up. Pri yate
capital must do this, but al Ter
proper restrictions. The best way
to accomplish this is to give the pco-
pie self government in local affairs.
Alaska could never be admitted as a
state as 1t is. The division must be
made sometime, why not now when
the question Is most acute?
