The Staunton Chamber OF Com
rnerce is now engaged in an earnest
and praiseworthy effort to boos THE
city. and two enthusiastic meetings
have been held within the past two
or three weeks. In the attempt to
cover the ground, giving attention
to matters and conditions calculat-
ed to contribute to progress, pros
perity, growth and development
certainly one important factor was
overlooked, unless it escaped our
notice:
Not one word did we find, either
from committee reports or booster
orators. touching on the subject of
trade relations with Highland or any
other section that pays tribute to
the Valley City. Most as&atc.;iE il
was an oversight, because, while
Staunton may fail to voice. in tram
pet tones, her appreciation of This
trade, she cannot help but rc"ng-
nize it as telling factor in the past
history of industrial lie.
Staunton sustains relatoon to
Highland that is different from any
other section, and while it amounts
to almost "cinch," a little catering
and solicitation now and then Would
not be out of order. She is logical
" Highlands trading and shipping
point. and while she has always en-
joyed the lions share of our patron
age, thosands of dollars of it have
been diverted in recent years.
This is due to the building of the
Greenbrier division of the c. & O..
and to the assiduity of the big mai
order houses throughout the coun'
try. To what extent Staunton
might hope to regain this trade We
cannot say, but it is Il problem which
would seem to come up naturally
for consideration and solution by
the boosters.
The establishing of a modern hign'
way between Highland and hel
most natural and convenient rail
way outlet is ''consummation Gle
voutly to be wished for" and al
:-A-.-. C''' - I-- tho oily
of Staunton would be strictly il
keeping with boosting ideas, and TO
more reasons than one.
The fact that the boosters ignor
ed Highland trade relations in thei
inquisitorial broadside cannot, il
the light of sound reasoning, be con
strued as indifference, because such
indifference would at once discredi
the judgment AID sincerity of thu
men behind the move.

Richness of Wslnuta

1.-THE percentage of food in walnuts,
says the London Lancet, high med
ical authority, "is very high. They are
very rich in fat. containing as much
as 63 per cent, while the proteins
amount to nearly 16 per cent. 1t has
been calculated that thirty large wal
nut kernels contain as much fat as
two and three-quarter pounds OF lean
beef. and yet the walnut Is often used
as supplement to a square meal"

Deer Are Great Swimmers.

II boy were asked to name an

is probable that he would think Of al
most anything before he named a
deer. II you told city folk that deer
have been known to swim clear across
the sound, from Long Island to Con-
necticut. they would probably laugh
at you, yet all the boatmen along the
coast know this to be true. Deer will
often take to the sea when they are
closely pursued by the hounds, and
they have been known to stay In the
water swimming until the dogs got
tired and went away or until night fell
and sheltered them.-New York Sun.

Preventing a Blister.

A blister is almost sure to form
from a burn if it is not taken care Of.
To avoid it, mix quickly equal portions
of olive oil and the white OF an egg
and apply to the burn. Then cover
with piece of soft linen. BicarbOnate
of soda is more quickly obtained, and
is almost as good. Put on the burn
dry, cover with a cloth and then keep
vet. A bad blister, if covered with
one per cent. solution of carbolic acid
on a piece of linen and kept on for
a day or two, will disappear with no
sceE and little pain.

H0N0RED BY THE BEDOUINS
Solemn Ceremony by Which Homer
Davenport Became Brother Of
Prince Akmet Haffez.

Homer Davenport went into the
Syrian desert to buy Arabian horses,
and there he met Akmet Haffez, prince
Of the Bedouins. In the bohemian Mr..
Davenport describes the high honor
conferred on him by the prince:
And at last, as though he were yet
afraid that he had not shown enough
friendship to his American friend, this
big-hearted chief conferred on Mr.
Davenport the highest honor within a
BedOuin's power. Mr.. Davenport gives
the following vivid description of the
queer ceremony:
Il hope to succeed in impressing the
reader with the very fine nobility of
character Of Akmet Haffez. Ny
friendship with him and my admira-
ton for him began at our first meet
ing in Aleppo, and each day made
both stronger. And now I was to
come into close relations with him.
The morning after the mare became
mine we were to start on a visit to-
Sheikh Ali, and just before we mount
ed I went through the ceremony
which made me his brother.
Neither of us had brothers, and so
we agreed to follow out the old GUS
toms of the Bedouins and take the fra
teTnal pledge. 1 first treated the mat
ter little too friYolously, but the Be-
douins were very solemn.
standing at one side Of the tent, in
the presence of many witnesses, we
held up our right hands and with our
left clasped together repeated the
pledge. Akmet Haffez began with the
words: 'Wallah! VALIANT 60 God!
My God!O which I repeated after
him. 'Wallah VALIANT and then to-
gether we said them over and over
again.
"'Billah! Billah! Tillah! TiIlahl'
ehanted the old Bedouin. 'Akhwanp
akhwan, ell yom wa 6ookra wo PaI
abad, akwan' ('By God and through
God, brothers, today and tomorrow
and forever, brothers!O
ct felt nothing Of frivolity now, and
as I grasped his hand and took the
oath, my eyes were moist. After it
was over, he asked how I felt now
that was the brother of an old man
who ate with his hands. I replied
that I felt no change; that we had ap-
parently been brothers, whereupon he
began to cry.
''Who knew, he asked, but that we
had been through a similar ceremony
that God himself had performed CEN
turtles ago on some other planet?"

EnqIand's Coal Fields.

A French author, M. Loze, has again
brought up the question of the prob
able duration of the British coal fields.
Assuming that the prosperity and
power of Great Britain depend upon
her supply of coal, he thinks that "the
end of Britain" is due within the pres
ent century. He fixes the date 1850
for the complete exhaustion Of the at
tainable supply of coal in the British
isles.
To this statement reply is made
that Monsieur Loze has failed to take
account of recent Investigations prov
ing that mining can be economically
carried on at much greater depths
han 1000 feet-the limit assumed by
the French author-and consequently
the British coal supply will last in
definitely longer than his calculation
shows.-Harper's Weekly.
