HOSPITAL IN PETROCRAD
EQUIPPED BY AMERICANS
Twenty Beds for Russian Wounded
to Be Maintained by United
States Colony.

correspondence OF the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD. November IA fully
equipped hospital with twenty beds for
the exclusive use of Russian wounded
has been established in Petrograd by
members of the American colony in
this capital. No contributions have
been solicited or accepted from other
than Americans. One prominent mem
ber of the little colony. consisting nor
mally of some sixty persons, donated
the quarters converted automobile
garage-and provided beds, linen and
pajamas for patients. and numerous
other necessaries. The others almost
to a man have bound themselves to
pay sums aggregating s1,500 monthly
for the running expenses of the insti-
tuition.
Movement Started in October.
The movement started early in Octo-
ber. A few of the leading spirits, in
| the name of humanity and to show ap-
probation of the friendly spirit evinced
by Russians toward American residents
in the country, called the members of
the colony together at the American
consulate and proposed the foundation
of a hospital. The idea met with favor,
and before adjournment enough prog
ress had been made to guarantee the
success of the movement. November l
saw the beds installed, nurses engaged.
and everything in readiness for the re-
ception of the first patients. The wom-
en- of the colony plunged actively into
the work of getting subscriptions. and
rendered valuable aid in other direc-
tions.
The Russian authorities, when ad-
vised of the action of the Americans.
expressed satisfaction and accepted the
offer with seeming qualification. To
make the project conform to Russian
regulations, the hospital was placed
under supervision of the capitals board
of health. The name adopted was The
City Hospital of the American Colony"

Red Cross Christmas seals have been
sent to the twenty battleships compos-
ing the Atlantic fleet, and the little
anti-tuberculosis stickers are now on
sale on these fighting craft of Uncle
Sans navy. Secretary Daniels gave
his permission-as was the case last
year-and Mrs. Theodore North Nc
I4aughlin. in charge of the sale of the
seals. promptly forwarded consign-
ments to all of the ships in the At
1antic feet.
Local headquarters for the sale of
the seals announces that the mail or
der scheme inaugurated this year is
proving highly successful. Orders have
been received for consignments of the
seals from all parts of the United
States, and last week more than one
hundred dollars was received in this
manner. However, the mail order plan
is not without it's drawbacks, it de-
velops the fact that many persons are
not yet acquainted with the often-re-
peated instructions regarding the price
and manner of using the seals.
Alabama Boys Order.
A letter from little Alabama boy
illustrates the interest in the seals and
shows that even the wide publicity the
past several years has not been fully
effective The letter, scrawled in pen
Gil. is as follows:
Ito american red Cross. Washington.
D. c., Send me one dozen for one cents
here is money in the letter Send thin
to Daniel Ala
The American Red Cross has an
nounced that it cannot accede to the
many requests from various parts of
the country that a portion of the re-
ceipts from the sale of the Christmas
seals shall be expended this year in
European war relief.
Statement Issued.
while the Red Cross is trying very
hard to raise a large war relief fund
and is anxious to obtain contributions
that will increase this fund.- the state
ment says, I'VE do not feel justified in
adopting any policy which will tend to
cripple the tuberculosis work in this
country, which is dependent for its
support to so large an extent on the
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals The
announcement that a percentage of the
Red Cross seal money would go to our
war relief fund might possibly increase
the sale, but, in our opinion, the final
results would show a distinct loss in
that part of the proceeds going for
tuberculosis work.

Get Glimpses of German Ships.

Some of our vessels had a look
more than once at the German ships,
and if they would only come out we
could settle the whole lot quickly with
our big guns. The Germans do not
touch our big ships, but only the
smaller ones. We give chase to their
submarines when seen and make them
clear off, though mishaps will occur.
There are not SO many German sub
marines about as people think. We
have plenty of sleep. good food and
hard watching and cruising.
Some of us have had a glimpse at
Helgoland, but the atmosphere was
misty and the place lies low. Some of
our destroyers looked in to see what
was going on, but owing to the torpedo
nets they could not go far enough to
do damage"

It is striking fact that there are 5.OOo,0oo more MosIems than Chris tians in the British empire One-sev- enth of the whole human race is Mos Hem. The really significant fact is that the proportion is not at a standsti1l: 1t is increasing yearly There are 6O,- 100000 Mohammedans in India, and the mum Der is steadily growing. Dur ing the last decade the Moslem popu- lstion of India increased by g per cent, while the total population of India in creased by only 2 per cent.

The truth of the matter is, however, that mans s chances of health are best when he eats with moderation a diet made uR of clean, wholesome, ordinary foods. well prepared in the usual ways.

Taking Time by the Fore,ook. i.

A peculiar phenomenon was observed in east enc society circles recently. A certain college youth barely twenty years of age has been making himself very agreeable and popular with a crowd of little girls. Now, twenty is the age when boys usually shun the society of children and spruce them selves up for .sfussing'' with their own contenporarfes. But this youth dirts not, neither does he dance The debu- tantes sigh after him, but in vain. He buys candy for maidens nine and ten years old, but none for their elder and presumably more attractive sisters

that the cost to the Milwaukee
Railway for the water supplied to
the city, was 6 cents per thousand
gallons.
In view of the fact that they
charge the city % cents per thou
sand gallons, it seems a very large
percentage of profit If this state
ment is correct, the profit of a
month that would reach $4,000,
would be $4,000. Ia the course
of a year the profit to the railroad
on this transaction, would amount
to quite a large sum.
In Minneapolis the water is fur

The schedule put IN by our city
commissioners since the meters
have been installed is GO cents per

of 1000 per cent of its cost to pro-
