To the lotowners of the Westminster

Another year has passed and it
becomes my duty to give you report
of the condition of the Cemetery Com
pany. Never i'm the history of the

dition, than during the past summer

have been kept free from filth, and
the lots i'm neat and cleanly condition.
The superintendent has been attentive
to his duties, and no complaint from
lotowners has reached the company.
As many of our citizens are interested
in our work, am much pleased, a.
president of the company, to sumbit
% favorable report, both of the
cemetery itself, and also Of our fnan-
cial condition.
I'VE have $235O in our invested
funds, and a balance of $244.91 in
bank for current use
There were "a interments during
the year, 13 from Westminster, from

Baltimore, / from Atlantic City and
u from PurcelviIle, va, with ages
ranging from months to 81 years.
. were above So, above no, 6 above
co. and above so years.
I'VE think it a good feature of our
work, that the company Is authorized
by law to receive donations or be-
quests for the perpetual care Of lots,
and we recommend lotowners to avail
themselves of this provision of our
law"

A Successful wife.

Nine. Maeterlinck has just ex-
planned to curious world how she be-
came successful wife, in the most
difficult circumstances" These are
her ten commandments for wives:
First-Remembe always that the
true wife is the inseparable half of the
only complete human unit, in which
two small and imperfect individual
tiles have secome merged in large
and perfect one.
Second Each half of the welded
whole retains special functions; yours
are to discern, to anticipate, to yield,
to cheer, to soothe-and thus to
strengthen
Third Never trust to hirelings tho
essentials Of your husbands physical
well-being; understand, and frequently
practice, the art Of selecting and pre-
pairing his food.

turtles, is still not yielded unquestion-
ably to any one power. While 1t Is
the capital of Turkey 1t may not be
denied that races and nations are
steadily at work striving for its pos
session. This is the great game"
which intelligent observers here find
so absorbing. At the moment Ger
many is on top, and Great Britain is
in eclipse. Russia's hairy hand may
be seen beneath the surface of many
recent events. The Greeks, as of
yore, are eloquent but Intellectual. The
Armenian signs for his ancient nation

the sultan's position and power in
this new constitutional government
can mean little less than the ultimate
eclipse of the Caliphate. When that
goes. the Turks hold over the Arabs
and fanatical element among the Mos
lens will disappear also.
In the great game of politics that
Is now being played here, there are
subtler influences at work shaping the
general trend of things. Here enters
America. A great point is gained by
the nation whose language becomes
dominant amid this assortment Of
tongues. The English language would
all but have disappeared were it not
for the yearly output of students from
American mission schools who have
therein learned not only the English
language, but American history and
ideals of life as well. The famous
Robert college on the Bosphorus, to
which Mr.. Kennedy lately left an en-
dowment of nearly $2,000.0OO, and the
equally efficient American School for
Girls, which has been enabled by the
help from the Rockefeller and Sage

ALCOHOL HURTS THE MEMORY
Degree of Deterioration Varies Great
iy in IndividuaIs-AlI Show Dimi-
mutton in Their Judgment.

Every person who drinks alcohol to
excess, says DIR. Alexander Lambert
in an article in Success Magazine, will
not show every form of mental dete-
rioratiOn that may be produced by ex-
cessive indulgence, and the degree of
deterioration in intelligence which
goes to make up the sum total OF
mentality varies greatly 10 different
individuals. All who drink alcohol to
excess, however, show some diminu-
ton in their judgment Judgment
means the power of recalling various
memories of perceptions through the
senses, which have come in from the
outside world, memories of ideas,
memories of emotions, and all the
complicated association of ideas that
these bring up, and in the recalling
of them weigh each one with the other
and Judge of the value between them.
This also means reasoning and deci-
sion for action. This power of rea-
soning and judging is weakened in
the alcoholic, and in any brain long
poisoned by alcohol 1t is an impossi-
bility to exercise it. Memory itself
is also weakened. There is excessive
forgetfulness of the recent past, and
in some cases of advanced alcoholism
there is absolute forgetfulness of wide
gaps of years; man may be unable
to remember anything from the last
five minutes back for twenty years,
and then remember back to childhood.
The memories Of childhood are more
easily stamped on the brain than are
those of adult life, both because it
takes less to impress a child, and be-
cause there is not the completely Of
ideas crowding into the brain, nor
the completely of association of ideas
to be recorded. Therefore memories
of childhood make a deeper impress
and last longer, and so the complex
memories of the adult are the first to
be forgotten in the alcoholic. and those
# childhood remain.

it would be deemed minor point,
with no relation whatever to govern
ment matters. A man here says. II
am Christian" but that statement
must not be understood to imply any
thing whatever about his character or
personal religious life. tt merely
means that he Is not a Moslem.
In studying this interblending of re
ligion and nationalism one soon learns
that the ineradicable longing of myri-
ads to see the cross back upo1. St.
Sophia, which at first sight appeared
SO noble a sentiment, Is in large part
a political aspiration. 1t means that
when the cross comes back to St.
Sophia the Turk will have fallen from
power on the Bosphorus. All kinds of
strange legends and prophecies are
current among the people in this con-
nection. One is that when the dogs
have all gone from the streets in Con-
stantinople then the Turks will have
to go, too. Russia unquestionably
dreams the same dream of a cross
shining above the vast dome of st.
Sophia and her deepest support is the
sympathy which is extended to her
here as a Christian nation-though in
Europe and America, Russia is not
much thought of as an exponent of
Christianity.
An Assortment of Religions.
The outstanding religions of the
empire are the Greek orthodox church,
the Greek Catholic church, the Ar
menian or Gregorian church, the Ar
menian Catholic church, Syriac Chal-
dean, Maronite, Roman Catholic and
Protestant churches, Judaism and Is
lam. The last is the most powerful
There are no signs apparent of a
blending of the various religious
bodies, except as their children min
gle in the Protestant schools. Reform
agencies are at work in some of the
older of the Christian churches, but
that is another story.

various Christian churches are

certain kind of tolerance to Islam. If
he is accepted as superior and these
inferior religions pay him a tax and
allow him to be unmolested as the
top dog" the Turk gets along quite
well with the other religions. He has
no thought but that these must be
subject to him and to the Prophet.
The situation is complicated by the
