Another woman has invented a new
profession. Miss NJ. r. McCalmont. a
Brooklyn girl and trained nurse. be-
came in the course Of her professional
work superintendent Of the Civil hos
pital in Manila and later chief Of the
division Of hospital construction and
equipment Of the bureau Of health for
the Philippine Islands. Now Miss Nc
Calmont writes herself down as "hos-
pital specialist and consultant" and
has so large list Of professional en-
gagements that the need of more wom-
en- to take up the profession is conclu-
sively shown. Miss McCalmont's idea
grew out Of the condition she met In
the course Of her nursing work. She
found hospitals where initial mistakes
in construction and equipment had cost
many thousands Of dollars to correct,
others where inexcusable omissions
had added hundreds Of dollars monthly
to the cost Of maintenance.

CHIEF TAHOLA, AT "a, GETS
DIVORCE TO KEEP PROPERTY

MONTESANO, July 12.-Tahola.
chief OF the Quiniault tribe of In
dams, today appeared in the super
ior court and was granted a divorce
from his wife Sadie, who deserted
him for another brave.
Chief Tahola is "a years of age and
he stated that he desired separation
from his squaw because she wanted
his land and money, although she
had left him. The trial brought many
Indians to the county seat to testify
in behalf of their leader, the chief
concern of these being to see that
the white mans law should make it
impossible for the estranged wife to
get the aged chiefs property.

The first week of our JULY

best by far Of any sale that we
ever gave. Trade continued

the store is tagged with sale
tag and the sale price marked in
plain figures. Yon can tell by re-
ferring to the original price ticket

An abandoned baby boy, three

an abyss of gloom into a place Of
sunshine and happiness today. And
then he found a home.
Tommy was his name. He was
brought to the station by Mrs. J. A.

story of Tommy is an old one.
She was just slip Of a girl, Tom

she left him.
When Mrs. Strong could no longer
carry the burden she brought him

later. Her child had died three years
ago. And when Tommy saw her he

DEATH DEALING CYCLONES.

Terrific cyclones have swept over
many States within the past two
weeks dealing death and destruction
along their paths. II is estimated
that nearly 600 people have been
killed and 900 injured, many OF
whom may die.
On the llthparts Of Missouri, Ten
nessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mis-.
sissippi, Texas and Georgia were
storm swept. Ninety persons were
killed and hundreds hurt more or
less seriously.
On March 20.2l another cyclone
carried destruction to parts of Mis-
souri,, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississ-
ippi and other Mississippi Valley
States, with death toll Of 80 and
600 injured.
Last Sunday the most destructive
storms swept over Nebraska, Iowa,
Indiana and Illinois, Nebraska sui
fering most. In the city Of Omaha,
Nebraska, 200 deaths are reported
and 40 injured, and many Of the
injuries are fatal. The reports of
the dead and injured in other cities
along the path of last Sundays
storms are: Terre Haute, Ind, 20
to 30 dead, 300 injured; Council
Bluffs, Iowa, to 30 dead, 100 injur-
ed; iutan, NeD., l6 dead, 10 injured;

One Enough.

The strongest demand for an adj
herence to the plan of building two
battleships every year comes from
those who believe that the navy is
largely useful as "A means for back

macy. 1t is a pleasant thing, no
doubt, for the great allied financial
interests to risk money upon ven

will always be more work for the

the legitimate police duty which the
navy must attend to now and then

of diplomacy will not be continued.
The country has had enough of 1t
and President Wilson has spoken In
no uncertain voice. When the

Kill the Early Flies.

Today, before warm weather real.
~ sets in, is the time to kill flies.
The first lazy flies of spring are I've.
ginning to sun themselves. One fly
now may mean ten million later on.
1t is superfuous to enumerate
the dangers of the hOusefiy. 1t is
sufficient to recall that the death
rate fromtyphoid fever, tuberculosis
and infantile paralysis have been
greatly lowered by the destruction
of the fly. If every housewife will
kill every housefy she sees until
the end of next month there will be
no flies next summer. Every wom-
ans club should agitate this crus-
AIDE. Charts, movingpicture films
and posters that show the fly to be
the most dangerous pest in the
world, should be shown as often as
possible. Statistics should be printed
which show that the fly kills more
persons annually than all other ami
mails put together. Now is the time
to work.

Remarkable Blind Preacher

Gentry Mo-, has remarkable
blind preacher, Elder ID. NJ. Spencer.
One of his latest feats was the trim
ming of hedge fence on the farm.
Mr.. Spencer trimmed the hedge, II
quarter of a mile in length, aud piled
and burned the brush. AS hedge
trimming is con sidered difficult work
for those who can see, a fence, neat
ly and smoothly cut by a man to-
tally blind, is regarded as a curlos-
ity.
MIR. Spencer is 81 years OF age and
has been blind since he was two
years old. Many years ago he made
his own Bible in raised letters for
the blind. He hired a woman TO
read to him while he made the book.
1t required seven years for him to
complete the Bible, which cost ST.
600. II is complete from Genesis to
Revelations, not even punctuation
mark being omitted.
