Presence of Battleship North Carolina

Protestant Institutions Open to Monks

In far off Beirut, Syria, Mrs. Ella
Bray Graham, daughter of the Rev.
and Mrs. William i. Bray of this city,
is seeing lot of the discomforts of
war. A letter just received from Mrs.
Graham bears no postage stamp other
than the stamp of the y. S. Battleship
North Carolina, and letters written in
the future will probably be open let
tiers in the French or the German Ian
guage Mrs. Graham writes interest
ingly of conditions in Syria. She says:
"The Italian boat-our one steamer

we hope that she may bring mail. We
are having great times with our letters.
The North Carolina has no more United
States stamps, so you may have to pay
the postage on this yourselves. If the
North Carolina were not here we should
be reduced to writing letters in Ger

English warships ever since Turkey got
into the war, but it seems to most other
people-the foreigners, [ mean-that
those ships are busy elsewhere and will
not appear off Beirut The hospital Of
DIR. McKinnon in Damascus has been
Communicated and the doctor and his
wife have come over to Beirut. They
have three sons serving in the European
war.
French, Russian and English schools
in Beirut have been closed, even the
large Jesuit college, the monks and the
nuns being turned out of house and
home. The Jesuit fathers have taken
refuge with our college and have rooms
in the upper story of what was former

partment They take their meals in our
new Y. M. G. A. building. To think
that such things should come to that
pass. The French Sisters of Charity
find asylum in our American hospital
buildings but what has become of the
hundreds of orphans for whom they
cared is more than I know. The city
looks upon the American as its pro-
tector and friend British subjects are
not allowed to leave the city but they
are not molested. The Russians are adj

Germany, is surrounded by enemies.
We now have nearly seven hundred
students, but the Egyptians are talking
of returning to their own country.
"|Your letters to us are liable to be
read by the Turkish postal authorities
and even might be withheld from us

they could be, no disturbance of any
kind being manifest.

the North Carolina come over to make

The letter from Mrs Graham was
mailed from Beirut on Nov. 21st, and
it bore the familiar stamp, "sailor s
letter. " Tits stamp gave the assur-
ance that it would not be tempered
with by the Turkish postal authorities
in Beirut.

sound minded children jump through
their schooling.
The expression ca sound mind in a
sound body has been repeated so of
ten that it has ''lost its punch" like
an oath which has become a habit.
But shouldn t schools build up children
physically, or if not that, should they
not at least refrain from breaking
them down?
When we all appreciate and act on
the fact that it is more intelligent to
prevent children from breaking down
in school than it is to partially cure
them after they have been broken, an
other great gain will have been made.
For one thing it is exceedingly doubt
full if anybody whose health has been
seriously damaged is ever completely
repaired.
Our children can be given most of
the advantages of an out-of-door
school room by putting more clothes
upon them and opening wide few
more windows.
Cold air is responsible for the energy
and ruggedness of northern people.
Why, then, should we dissipate that
advantage by raising the temperature

The recent extremely cold weather
must have greatly diminished the dan

and mouth disease in the state, but
this should not prevent the state
authorities from proceeding against
the stockmen both outside and inside
the state, who have been evading the
sanitary regulations governing the
movement of cattle. These men should
be prosecuted if evidence against them
can be obtained This is as good a

MAHER GOES TO MENDOZA.
Former Police officer is Sent to State
Hospital for Insane for Treatment.

In the county court late on Monday
afternoon former police officer William
Maher, who leaped into the lake from
the South street breakwater on Sunday
evening, was formally adjudicated in
sane and sent to the state hospital at
Mendoza for treatment. Mahe1 had
been examined earlier in the day by
Drs. Adams and Stalker, AM they
found that the former police officer was
suffering from melancholy. An inves-
tigation brought out the fact that
Makers mother was insane, and it IS
thought possible that the disease is
hereditary. Maher az cared perfectly
rational when he talked with the physi-
clans and he declared his willingness
to go to the state hospital or to any
other place that the physicians might
suggest for treatment. It is thought
possible that a few months Of careful
treatment will restore Maher to health
and vigor. He was taken to the state
institution early this morning.

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

a Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, ringworm, rashes, and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliable druggists get jar Of
resinol ointment and cake of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment, and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.

FOUND TIME FOR AMENITIES
How British and Beers Exchanged
Compliments During the Long
Siege Of Kimberley.

During the Boer war Mr.. Rhodes
was shut up in Kimberley, and the
Beers constantly shelled the town with
long-range artillery. They were not
very successful, for with 800 big shells
they only killed IL people.
Meantime, Mr.. Rhodes accomplished
the extraordinary feat of getting a
cannon built at his works inside the
town. 1t was regular modern rified
gun, and fired shells-also homemade
on each of which was stamped,
with compliments of c. J. Rhodes"
The Beers themselves we're not
without a sense of humor. During
Christmas, 1899, they were besieging
Ladysmith, and on Christmas eve they
fired ten plugged shells into the town,
each with piece of plum pudding in
side, and each bearing the words,

Two of the shells were found by the
garrison, and it was discovered that,
like Mr.. Rhodes, they were home
made, having been cast in a foundry

We have been working in the

To say to child, Don't cry!" "Be

Gasoline at the Poles.

The Amundsen and Scott expedi-
tons were greatly hindered through
losing much of their gasoline loss
that, in fact, had much to do with the
disaster that befell Captain Scott. Mr..
B. T. Brooks of the Mellon Institute
of Industrial Research thinks he
knows what caused the loss. At low
temperatures, he says, ordinary tin
tends to pulverize. At 81 degrees be-
low zero it pulverizes quickly and may
pulverize, although more slowly, at a
higher temperature. Now, hard solder
usually contains a large percentage of
tin, and so, of course, disintegrates in
the same way. Consequently the gas
oline cans are likely to leak at the
soldered seams Mr.. Brooks suggests
that polar explorers carry their sup
plies of gasoline In containers made
of glass, or of some metal unaffected
by extreme cold.-Youth's Companion.
