PITIFUL STORY OF A
 PERSECUTED SYRIAN

Abraham KarraZ Jabora tells how he was persecuted in the old country. how his father and mother and ten members of his family were murder ed by the Turks because they were members of a Christian Mission and how he fled to this country thinking it an asylum for the persecuted and how the local Turks of this country have continued their persecution against him.
 To the Christian People of Pine Bluff:
 I am a poor Syrian, twenty-seven years of age. I was born and reared in Mersina, Asia Minor, Turkey. My father and mother and all my people belonged to the Christian Mission. About three years ago the Mohamme- den Turks assassinated all my peo- pie, including my dear father and mother and little fourteen years old brother. We belong to the Reform Presbyterian church. There is no church just like it here. My teacher was Mir. James Dodds, the American missionary He told me this country was a good place for the persecuted. Two years ago I came here but there seems to be no end to my persecution The tyrants of the old country have their representatives here in this country I have been trying to ped dle in this county for a living but have been warned to leave here and my life has been threatened. Two Turks who live here drew pistols on me and had I not run for my life would have been assassinated Three or four different notices have been served upon me that unless I left here I would be killed. I have ap- pealed to the sheriff and to the prose- cutting attorneys office for protection and unless they do give me protection l must leave here or will be killed. l am trying to live an upright, hon. orable, temperate, Christian life. Un. like great many people from my country I neither drink nor gamble. I have a recommendation from the American Missionary in the country from which l fled and it reads as follows
 American Mission, Tarsus Mission.
 Mersina, Asia Minor, Turkey,
 November 5, 1909. z
 This is to certify that Abraham Karraz Jabora is twenty-five years old. That he was educated in the Christian Mission at this place. He finished school when he was nineteen years old and afterwards taught six years in the Christian Mission. He is Christian gentleman, has always lived an upright and honorable life and l commend him to the Christian, God loving people of America. Any courtesies extended him will be ap- | preciated.

that idolatrous customs have a strong

CONSTANT DRAIN ON NATION
Cost Of tuberculosis and Other Pre-
ventable Diseases Has Been
Put Into Figures.

While state commissions and other
bodies are trying to find method for
reducing the cost of life insurance,
Prof. James w. Glover of the Uni
versity of Michigan demonstrates that
every policy-holder could save shrd
every policy-holder of $4,000 Or
binary whole life policy could save
about $50 a year on his premiums If
tuberculosis and typhoid fever were
eliminated tuberculosis alone causes
a loss to such policy holder of from
S167O at twenty to $3.50 at the age
of sixty. At age of twenty, with the
present high death rate from tubercu-
losis, this one disease alone shortens
the complete expectation of life by
two years and 1853 days. While the
death rate from tuberculosis seems to
be declining, the National Association
for the Study and Prevention of Tu-
berculosis says that the combined eff
fort of every man. woman and child
is necessary to bring about radical
reduction in life insurance rates as
Professor Glover has indicated.

was angered at the slaughter Of the
lambs on the open lot in the residen-

When the motor cops arrived they

Get More Milk by Serenading Cows

e POKANE.-Practical dairymen and
y veterinarians and animal psycholo-
gists in the Spokane district and
throughout eastern Washington are
agreed that the theory advanced by
the milk supply by the introduction of
dreamy waltz music in the COW sta
bles is reasonably logical and worthy
OF serious consideration.
Mrs. Joseph Rudersdorf, acting pres
ident of the Spokane Humane society.
Is confident the theory is correct. say
ing: Music affects and soothes every
animal or human being. Loud music
would cause an animal to be nervous,
while soft music, which would soothe
the nerves Of the COW. would naturally
increase the milk production"
DR.. Otto MING of the veterinary
staff of the State Of, Washington col
lege. who conducted experiments
along similar lines while preparing a
work on animal psychology. said the
man who ridiculed the Grant idea is
merely betraying his ignorance.
THAT idea is not to be treated light
ly," said Dr. MING. Anything that
soothes the nerves aids in the milk
production. Cows, as other animals,
are attracted or repelled by sounds.
To use cusswords with your cows les
sens the milk production. l do not
question that soft music would have
the desired effect in increasing the
supply
DR.. Walter Baker. also member
of the staff. recalled an experiment
where dog secretes more saliva
while eating as music is being played
and indorses the plan.
