beads out Of rose petals great care
must be taken in extremely warm
weather, or they will sour and then
ter to dry the leaves carefully and
postpone the making until cool
weather. When you are ready TO
make the beads. sprinkle the leaves
to restore their moisture.
To make the beads, put the leaves
through a fruit grinder six times,
using the knife that is next TO the
finest; then the seventh time use the
finest knife. After that grind them
once a day for nine days with the
finest knife. placing them In a cool
place each day in a rusty pan The
rusty pan makes them color well. II
the pulp becomes hard add little
water After the ninth grinding
with the fine knife mold into little

Let them get very hard, polish
with a drop Of olive OIL. and string.
There IS another way of making
beads. using cornstarch and salt,
about two-thirds starch to one-third
salt. and moistening with lust

Add a little coloring matter In any
desired shade, roll into beads. and

AMERICANS ABROAD
BAND TOGETHER
London the Mecca Of Cont
mental Refugees.

London, Aug. 4.-Walter H. Page
the American ambassador, on the ur
gent representations of his compa
triots here, has asked the American
government to furnish as soon as pos
sible transportation home to the thou
sands of Americans marooned on the
continent of Europe and in London.
Mr.. Page also has asked the state
department at Washington to take
such steps as are necessary to assure
that letters of credit and travellers
checks are recognized by American
consuls at all points in Europe, sc
that Americans may be supplied with
money.
Doctors J. Riddle COTE, of New
York; Frank F. Simpson, of Pitts
burgh: Arthur D. Ballou, of Vista
burg, Mich, and B. F. Martin, OF Chi
cago, have formed themselves into a
committee and they ask the co-opera
ton of the press in America in bring
ing about adequate assistance for the
marooned Americans, and to urge the
bankers of the United States to insist
on their letters of credit and travel
ers' checks being honored so far as
possible by the agents in Europe upon
whom they are drawn.
Drs Martin and Simpson, who left
London on Saturday for Switzerland
to bring back young American girl
were unable to get beyond Paris, and
they have returned to London. Every

with refugees whose only object in

Our Abused Feet.

There have been many railing accu-

our souls are so hidebound? When we

THIS COUNTRY NEED
NOT SUFFER BY WAR
mo Cause For Excitement, y
President Tells Callers.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The United
States is prepared for every emer
gency caused by the European war
President Wilson told his callers
There is no cause for excitement, he
said.
1--WE must act together as Ameri
cans to see that America does not
suffer-" he stated, and added that the
war need not affect the United States
in the long run.
"The present condition of the Unit
ed States is sound, and she owes it to
the world to keep her self-possession,"
continued the president. He said he
would take pride in whatever calm
ness of thought and steadiress of pur.
pose the nation showed in the present
crisis.
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has sent word to the White House,
the president stated, that there Is no
cause for alarm and no element of un-
soundness in the banking situation.
He said the country owed it to the
world to give Europe our surplus of
foodstuffs in an effort to alleviate the
suffering due to the war.
Ine uuestior diverting the coast
wise ships, including sailing vessels.
to the transatlantic trade, has been
discussed, the president said, but no
decision has been reached. The presi-
dent himself believes that many of
the coastwise ships, such as the fruit
carrying vessels, would prove insult
able for European traffic. A proclama-
ton of neutrality will be issued by
the United States in the near future,
he said.

Oil Treatment For
Stomach Troubles

A simple prescription made up of
combination of pure vegetable
oils, is producing wonderful results
for sufferers from stomach, liver
and Intestinal troubles. The rene
dy, which is said to have original
ed in France, where it has been
used for years by the peasantry was
introduced into this country by
George H. Mayr, a leading Chica-
go druggist, who cured himself of
severe stomach, liver and intestinal
troubles by its use. Those who
have used it say the first dose is
sufficient to. convince any one of
its remarkable merit, and that
within twenty-four hours the suf-
ferer feels like a new person. This
medicine, which has become known
as Mayr's Wonderful Stomach Rem
edy, is now sold by first-class drug
gists everywhere. It is now sold
here by Bradshaw's Pharmacy. Adv.
