Heights il turned again southwark.
The operations undertaken by our
field army against the German forces
masking the fortified position at Ant
wCrp, the first result Of which was the
capture of Aerschot, were continued to-
day with method and with success. Our
army advanced continually and in
ficted important losses on the Ger
mans. These losses were due TO the
action of our artillery, principally to
the work of our new field guns, whose
effects were decisive"
London, Sept. IA Reuter- dispatch
from OstCnd says:
"A severe engagement took place
Yesterday in the neighborhood Of Grem-

London. Sept. t1.--An agency dis
patch from Rome says that dispatches
received in the Italian capital from
Constantinople announce that the for
eign ambassadors. including the Ger
man representative. have informed the
Turkish government that the powers
cannot accept additions Of the treaty
rights accorded TO foreigners.
The attitude of Turkey, which has
been subject of such paramount anx-
iety TO the Foreign Offices Of Europe,
would seem TO have been decided for
her, if the story is true, that Rumania,
Greece and Bulgaria have agreed to
prevent Ottoman Intervention on be-
half Of Germany and Austria. The
allies have been working Strcnuously to
this end.
Rumania, Greece and Bulgaria are
said 10 have signed an agreement,
virtually an alliance, under the terms
of which the three nations engage TO
interfere whenever necessary in order
to prevent Turkey aiding Germany and
Austria in the present war II Turkey
remains neutral, however, these three
states will do the same.
A dispatch from Athens to the kN-
change Telegraph Company states that
Foreign Minister PanaS has handed in
his resignation. It has not yet been
decided whether it will be accepted.

THE FOOLISH GIRL
WHO WORRIES
Case of Girl Who Always Has a
Grievance-Useless Worrying Over
Past Mistakes Unprohtable.

The average girl Is much too inclined
TO worry. It Is all so futile and useless,
too. once the deed is done, and done ir-
revocably. Why worry over past mis-
takes?
The past is so dreadfully apt to hamper
ones future. This is a great mistake
Wherever possible q mistake should be
rectlfed and every atonement made, but
beyond that II is foolish to worry.
Ono sees on every hand girls worrying
over split milk that can never he gath
cred ZIP again. They are only wasting
their time and energy that could be bet
ter employed In other ways.
No human being is perfect and we are
all prone to error There is a certain
type Of girl who must always have some
thing to worry over, or else she is down
right miserable. She is very far from
being a pleasant companion No one
seeks her society, and yet, like the poor
she Is always with us. She literally
finds her happiness In being unhappy
This may sound rather Irish" yet it
is true.
The girl who Is ambitious and strong
minded will spend just the right proper
tion Of her time IN remcdying past mis-
takes. and then will turn to u fresh day.

OF weakness OF character to dwell unduly
and unprofitably upon past errors of
Judgment.

THE TREATMENT
OF DAMP HANDS

First Impressions are most important
In the welcoming of the stranger within
our doors It is a dreadful thing to greet
him with a cold and clnmmy hand such
a greeting has damping air about It,
Yet the possession of such hand is only
too common.
The hand is full OF tiny nerves and
muscles, which respond to the call OF
any nervous excitement. The latter gives
rise to a damp and profuse perspiration
in the hand Another cause of the clammy
hand Is imperfect circulation, and to rem
edy this plenty OF exercise in the open
air should be taken.
The value of massage cannot be over
estimated In this connection. In con-
junction with good cold cream, mas
sage will frequently work wonders. To
be Of benefit It must be practiced reg
ularly morning and night
The wearing OF overnight gloves Is an
other fruitful cause Of this unpleasant
complaint. Great care should be taken
in the buying of gloves, and It Is a good
plan to choose a pair slightly larger than
is actually necessary.

A Hyacinth for Company

Nowadays It Is not merely the Joy Of
the flower that will bloom indoors and In
the winter time, but there is the added
Joy to be had in the quaint or curious,
esthetc or simply beautiful object In
which the flower grows.
There are squat little glasses for hya-
cinth growing for example, that have
character all their own. They are deter
minedly cheerful and they really seem TO
create domestic atmosphere OF peace
and goodwill and content.
Just one little plant in a room will some
times set ones thoughts winging. The hall
bedroom girl, who can't have a dog for
company, should have at least ono fern
or flower to tend and love.
There are hyacinths, pink, blue and
white, single and double. that will grow in
hyacinth glasses or in glass dish filled
with pebbles as well as In earth.
To give them a good start, they should
be put in the dark In reasonably cool
place for quite four weeks, until the long,
threadlilte roots have grown down into
the glass.
They will show the green stalk at the
top by that time and then It will be
question of temperature OF the room;
something over 60 degrees is best, and II
they are started now they will be in
bloom by Christmas
There are many varieties OF hyacinth
that do particularly we'll indoors Any
dealer will know the ones to recommend.
For those who find the fragrance OF the
ordinary hyacinth too heavy, there Is the.
Roman hyacinth, O single flower with a
much fainter perfume. It grows on

Is even more delicate in appearance than
the ordinary hyAcinth, and the colors the
pale pinks and blues are equally lovely.
A single little glass will cost only 20
cents and bulbs can be bought for 10
cents apiece.
