already cause OF contention.
An historic feature of the war Is the
complete downfall of the Young Turk

Beyond the matter OF organization there

Condition in Saloniki
A story of lawlessness and looting by
Bulgarians and Greeks in Salonili has
been sent by the correspondent of the
Reuter- Telegram company under date of
November Is. The correspondent is an
Englishman of many Years residence in
Saloniki and thoroughly acquainted with
the city and surrounding country. He
writes:
THE Bugarians on the march to Sa-
loniN had already more than a taste
, of blood and rapine, having ravaged with
out mercy the Turkish villages on the
route. and as soon as they entered Sa-
lonild they instituted a systematic pill
lage of the quarters occupied by them,
regardless of the remonstrances OF the
Greek officials.
"A continuous fussiade was kept UP on
November 10 and II, both by the Bull
garian and Greek armies, and the Chrls-
tian population. The firing resulted in nu-
merous casualties. A stoker of the Me-
dea was killed while In the pinnace

Hundreds of cases of this kind have
been reported by the victims, who poured
their complaints into the ears OF the

of the consuls to the Greek authorities
have had little effect. The arrival of n

however, improved the situation.

association can take part in partisan poli-

Up to the time Miss Jane Adams sec

the association that officers should hold
aloof from partisan politics except In
states where women had the right to vote.

work, and could scarcely draw

MRS. LAURA RUSSELL,
Logan, Iowa.
When the heart action is
weak, it fails to pump the blood
through the lungs with sufficient
rapidity. Then the lungs do not
absorb the proper amount of
oxygen, although they may be
taking in a normal amount of
air. The result is shortness of
breath, smothering spells, diff
cult breathing, oppressed feeling
in chest. DR.. Miles Heart Rem
edy strengthens the heart nerves
and muscles, and in this way
increases the circulation.

Farm News and Views

Here are fertilizer facts well worth re-
Wondering: Nitrogen or (ammonia) en-.
courage strong leaf, vine and bush
growth; potash makes firm tuber, bulb
ana hbre; phosphoric acid makes blooms
set, and seed and seed pods form
aDundantly; if the wild growth on the
farm is profuse and the tomatoes and
melon vines run to leaf, the soil is ricn
in nitrogen: if trees do not thrive. on
ions seem soggy and tomato vines lack
sturdiness of stalk, the soil needs pot
ash; II your tomatoes, melons, grain and
cotton fail to set" plenty of seed and
fruit, phosphoric acid is called for; If
one expects to take from the land crop
rich in leaf, as lettuce, increase the pro-
portion of nitrogen in the fertilizer; If
potatoes or onions are desired. provide
plenty of potash; if abundant corn,
wheat, cotton bols melons, peaches,
strawberries or "amatoes are wanted, see
to the phosphoric acid
sure cure for scratches is to wash
the affected part with soft water and
CASTLE soap and dry thoroughly. Then
mix equal parts of hogs lard and gun
powder and apply. In a few days the
horse will be we'll For sore shoulders,
battle the sore and dry. Then take the
charred coal that remains of any old
burnt leather, powder line and apply
freely. This will cure 1t.
An important determination in deter
mining the feeding value of corn slage
as compared with that of corn slower,
fodder-corn or bunde-corn, is that in
ensilage the whole of the plant, includ-
ing the stems, is converted into succul
ent and nourishing food. When fed in
any of the other forms the stems are re-
jected and are of value only as they
gradually add to the humus of the soil.
Cnslaked lime is recommended to alb
sorb excess of moisture in the cellar in
which fruits and vegetables are stored.
1t will absorb a limited amount, but
good cellar drain, together with good
ventilation, will take care of ground
water. 1t is a good thing to air the cell
lar on mild days in winter, closing the
openings at night. The ventilators may
safely be left open for several hours,
when the outside temperature is several
degrees below freezing.
