AeropIane Dart Deadly.

PARIS, Dec. 5.-A French doctor, who has just returned from Flanders, describing the effect of the "Fleche d'aero," as the steel darts with which the French airmen are supplied, are generally called, said:
 Among the 2,000 wounded whom we treated in 48 hours, was a German who had been struck by an aeroplane dart. He was evidently bending ov. CT when hit, for the dart had enter. ed the>right thigh and traversed the whole leg, so that the point emerged just above the boot. The man was conscious when he was brought in and said he felt no pain, only heavy

blow. He died soon afterward from shock and loss of blood"
 The darts resemble steel pencils. They are about five inches long with the unpointed half-fluted to insure their falling head first. It is calcu- lated that they strike with a hun dred pounds force if thrown from an elevation of 1000 meters.

ITALIANS STOP
 RE:EXPORT COPPER
Addressed There-AIso Checks Wheat Speculation.

MILAN, Dec. 5.--To frustrate ex- port agents who deal in contraband merchandise for belligerent countries. the Italian government has promul- gated an order which comes into force immediately. No class of goods, the exportation of which from Italy has been vetoed since the outbreak of the war, can be redispatched to foreign countries if they arrive at Italian ports accompanied by invoic- es showing Italy as their destination.
 Moreover. if invoices of such con signments are made out to "bearer" and fail to specify any fixed destina- sidered as intended for home con- sumption, and no subsequent transit across the frontiers will be tolerated.
 The decress is likely to act as a check on the shipments of copper to Germany, in which American interests have been concerned. It means that copper for Germany sent through Italy must be addressed to Germany, and such shipments could be easily picked off by British warships at Gibraltar or on the high seas. Sweden and Norway have already prohibited the shipments of copper through their countries.

DANES Want FRIENDS
TO See new HOMES

A special meeting OF the Board or
Managers and Directors of the Colon
ial Danes will be held on the second
Monday in October. in the new home
No. 1908 Market street. preliminary TO
the holding of the first regular fall
meeting some time In November.
II is the idea of the society to
10 make its first fall meeting this year
more of a social event than a business
affair. owing to the fact that il will
mark the formal opening of the new
home. It is thought more than likely
that the meeting will be in the nature
OF a formal reception to which mem
bers of other patriotic societies of the
city will be invited.
The new home of the Colonel Danes
was only recently bought and finished
by the society and while an informal
reception was held there for the
members to see their new quarters, no
other societies have as yet been in
vited 10 inspect the building. and Il
is understood that the presence of
others than its own members at the
regular fail meeting In November will
make the affair one Of the leading So
cial events of the winter
Mrs. Preston Lea, president of the
society, will probably preside at the
special board board.

deep breathing HABIT
Wards OFF fall COLDS

The importance of deep breathing
cannot possibly be overestimated.
Once the regular habit is formed, the
taking of deep life-saving draughts
cf air far into the lungs become au-
tomato, and the greatest benefit will
accrue TO the wise person who forms
this sensible habit.
Fresh air flushes the lung cells
Just as water performs a like func-
ton externally. The poisonous gases
which linger are driven out, and the
blood draws its heat and life from
a far greater surface than Is avail
able when the lungs perform but half
of their function.
Now in the falltime colds and
coughts are generally rampant. But
deep breathing will so fortify the
system that those ailments will meet
with a resistance which will effectu-
ally ward them on. Cultivate this
habit then Immediately If you would
pass happy and healthful winter

TALKS ON THRIFT
Thrifty Persons Who Got Ahead

In teaching in various districts Mayo
had gained an intimate knowledge Of
the mountain country's mineral and
timber resources, and became acquainted
with those sections richest in mineral
wealth.
He discovered that thousands of acres
were occupied by "squatters7 many Of
whom we6ld give options for s.. Later
he borrowed all the money he could to
put into these options. When the de-
velopment Of the Eastern kentucy coal
fields began he was able to interest rail
road officials and to enlist capital to
work his mines, and was soon on the
road to fortune.
Thrift always pays dividends.
