While Superintendent of
the Mississippi State Insane Hospital,
we were induced. due to the reputation
of this water, to try it in quite a num-
Der of cases of what we supposed to be
Nephritis, and at the time of my resig-
nation as Superintendent, it was IN
daily use; and we were much pleased
with the results as used in this class of
cases. hence have no hesitancy in rec
ommending this water, especially in
this class of kidney trouble. Besides.
the water seems to be a fine construc-
tive in those with shattered nerves.

PRIEST SHOT AS SPY. FRENCH PAPERS SAY

Paris, Sept. 25.-The Echo de Paris prints the following today. It was suppressed by the censor yesterday:
 t'M. MaIvy. minister of the interior, is collecting documentary evidence in regard to the German occupation. We offer him the following
 Father De1ebecQue went to Dun kirk to pray for the soul of his father who died in August. Returning by bicycle, which was the only means by which he could travel, he met a German patrol. He was searched and some letters from soldiers which they had intrusted to him for the purpose of forwarding at Dunkirk, were found in his possession
 'sThe priest was tried by court-mar- tia1 at midnight, and the officers com posing the court condemned him to death for spying.
 Father De1ebecque passed the night in prayer at the church of St. Nicholas in Va1encennes. He made his confes- sion to a German military chaplain, and after giving an officer letter for squad and said: T offer my life for France without regret He fell, pierc- ed by a dozen bullets.
 "A hole was dug in the ground and the priest was buried. A small part of his cassock protruded and in this way 1t was known that Q priest was buried there.
 s'The inhabitants made a cross of stones and the women brought flowers, which they placed over the grave."'

TOBACCO MART
 IS NOW OPEN TO ALL

Washington, Sept. 25.-secretary Daniels has settled the tobacco prob lem in the navy by deciding that all apparently desirable brands be admit ted to sale on an absolutely equal footing, in the ship stores af1oat and in comInissary stores ashore.
 The decision had been delayed by the shift from straightaway proprie- tary purchase to the newly prescribed competitive system by. which the tout siders" are to have an equal chance. The method finally decided upon was to have the chemist at the Brooklyn navy yard ana1yze all samples sub mitted and then for the department to enter into contract for such quan- titles as may be required of every brand found to conform to the new standard of purity.
 Tn making the awards Secretary Daniels issued the most minute in structiens as to each individual item. Acquisitions from individual yards and ships for tobacco will not name any brand, but will receive. one months supply, consisting of one eleventh of each of the accepted brands Upon receiving the trial or der each store, whether afoat or ashore, will place all of the eleven brands on sale side by side on an ab- solnute1y equal basis.
 The acceptable brands are to be sold everywhere in the navy at four cents a package.

 England is plentifully supplied with foodstuffs and is likely to continue a long way from famine unless some fleet. Still. account is being taken of possibilities, and the London Lancet contains an Interesting discussion of foods, with hints for economy in the English home.
 It is already time. the Lancet urges, for every housekeeper to sub ordinate the palate to mere physio- logical needs and avoid waste Flashes and stews are inculcated, and the com mbination of bread, butter and cheese is held up as the ideal meal, teins, carbohydrates. fats and min eraI substances As the supply of butter shrinks, drippings e(caught dur ing the roasting of meat) can take it's place.
 So long as the mastery of the sea remains the fish supply can help greatly, it is pointed out Herring, the Ripper and the bloater, present the largest nutriment, for given sum, of all animal food. The lentils are also recommended for their nitro genous value, and a kind word is said for the chestnut and bana- Turnips, carrots and onions, on the other hand, are decried as possessing very little nutritive value.
 If only science had invented a synthetic food, the Lancet concluds! Then England would need only water, earbonic acid, the soil and the air to exist indefinitely. Lacking such a discovery, small wonder that Eng land looks to her fleet and tries to put her roast beef behind her.

 Newtown, Sept 25-Rev. WfIlfston Walker, D. D., Of New Haven, will be one of the speakers at the bi-centen- nial celebration of the Congregational church October IS, 19, and 20. He is 8 favorite speaker in assemblies of Con- gregationali lists of New England, and will be especially at home in his sub- ject on this occasion The committee expect to add to the 1mpressiveness of celebration, if invitations sent out by them are accepted by other well known divines, which. as yet, are ten tatively held.
 The Newtown Water company voted to increase their capital stock $5, 900 at a stockholders meeting held Mon day night. The stock will be sold at par to the general public. In view of the fact that the springs which for generations have supplied Sandy Hook with water; are now quietly dropping out under the adverse influences of the prolonged drought, it would seem that it would be good policy for the Water company to break into this territory. A part of the money obtained from the sale of the new stock might well be expended in extending the mains to the sister village, as this appears to be the psychological moment for re- suits.

 But there is another side to- the mushroom matter that is equally as important as determining the edibil- ity of the alleged delicacy. Many go far afield from city homes to gather mushrooms. Some of them ruthless Iy invade the property of other per sons and remove bushels of rnush- rooms These anarchists would shrieb for the police were their gardens in vaded.i They resent requests to go away when caught stealing other peo- pIe's mushrooms.

Safer on the Sea.
(Morgan Robertson in the Saturday
 E,venihg Post.l


 Evening Post.)
 Averaging a1l-big ships and little, old and new+passengers on board them are safer than in any large city, Life insurance companies, basing their charges on the calculations of actuaries, demand higher rate from a truck driver than from 8 marine engineer The writer worked as a sailor for many years, and only few times felt that his life was in danger. out risk of sudden death, while a ride in the germ-infest New Y ork sub way holds more of menace than any gale that ever ragged at sea.
 Sailors fear only wet and cold and hard work; they catch cold and conquered. Fog and snow? Not yet Ice can never be conQuered, but it can be avoided, while the danger and death from collision is soon to be Ininimized. It can be confined to the very few people who happen to cuts into a ship. Wireless teIegraphy is now distinct and coherent for a radius of 2 LOGO miles, and help for stricken vessel is never more than twenty-four hours away.
 Darkness alone is not and never has been danger to navigation Masthead and side lights are well un- derstood, sending and taking their messages plainly to the minds of sea men. Derelicts. an age-long menace to noncompartment craft, are no longer feared by doub1e-hottomed liners. They are ridden down and Sometimes broken up, with little dam age to their assaiIants.
 Waterspouts, a time-honored pet of the sea-story writers, are shattered into a harmless downpour of salt rain by contact with a steamer of ordinary size. Even a sailing vessel, well built, well found and well handled, has nothing to fear from the widest storm that ever ragged; and it is axio- matic among seamen that no hurri- cane can blow away a new main spencer-a triangular storm sail bent to the mainmast of a sailing ship. It is old canvas that blows away-bad1y handled old ships that leak and go down. Forethougat in repair and in maintenance would keep them all afIoat until condemned.
 How much safer Is the double hu11ed, compartmented liner, pro pelled by steam instead of windi So safe is it, ,1in fact, that every peril of the sea which can threaten it may be met by, buIkheads. And this is the answer to those who question safety at sea and fear to embark upon it; ads-water-tight bulkheads.
