MEDICAL AID NEED
OF FOREIGN TROOPS
Relief Work For Wounded Will
Begin Monday at
Headquarters

Volunteer workers for the relief Of
the wounded in the European war be-
gin work Monday on bandages and
other hospital supplies, which are
urgently needed to save lives in the
great fight going on across the waters
Headquarters will open at South
Front street on that date. and in
structions in proper methods of hand
ling supplies and material will be
given.
Contributions are urgently desired
by the Red Cross Division of the Home
and War Relief Association, that the
woorll may be prosecuted with speed
Conditions of the war victims on the
battlefields are described as unbe-
lievable by witnesses. Surgical and
medical aid is needed by all the COM
batants.
Unsanitary conditions in many of
the hospitals, which are crowded with
the wounded and sick, are proving
greater menaces than the shells and
bullets. Lack of proper material is
shown by the report that in some
hospitals the surgeons are packing
wounds with sawdust instead of medi-
Gated gauze or cotton
Some idea of what even small sums
of money will accomplish in the way
of life-saving is given in a statement
showing the expenditure of so cents:
One cent will buy iodine to disin-
feet q wound.
One cent will buy cotton to dress the
wound.
Five cents will buy the bandages.
Eight cents will pay for the tenn
porary splint.
Ten cents will provide chloroform
| for the operation.
Twenty-Five cents may save a limb
| or life.
Persons may contribute to any coun-
| try's relief they may desire, and the
money will be spent as designated.

big audiences at the Orpheum yester-
day brought in just $4S.70 by their ac-
! tiviities.

In bohemian Days In Fleet Street

pened when he was in the diplomatic
service and was sent on a mission to
St. Petersburg:
Before starting he had dispute with
the foreign Office about his expenses.
The foreign Office had it's idea of the
scale; Labouchere had his. But the
office refused to reconsider its deci-
sion. Labouchere took his leave. cross
ed the channel and was to all appear
ance lost. A week after the appoint,

Petersburg. A representative of the
foreign Office was sent out on his
trail. He was traced to Paris and from
thence to Vienna, where he was run
to earth. In reply to his discoverer he
coolly said, 1.-THE foreign office refused
to pay me my expenses. and I'm walk

tanned THE PIANO.
An Unmusical Variation In One of
GottschaIk's Concerts.


GottschaIks Concerts.
Gottschalk. the pianist. was noted for
his enormous physical strength almost
as much as for his brilliance as a pian-
list. On one occasion he gave a prac-
teal illustration of his strength which,
while it did not display his disposition
in the most amiable light, undoubtedly
afforded him much satisfaction.
He was in concert playing on piano
that was built on new model, one of
the peculiarities of which was that the
lip of the keyboard cover projected
farther over the keys than in most
pianos when the instrument was open
for playing. Gottschalk, who was ac-
customed to throw up his hands to
considerable height during the per-
Torrance Of brilliant passages and was
unused to this new form of keyboard,
constantly hit his knuckles against the
projecting lip.
This repeated rapping Of his knuck-
les at last began to have an irritating
effect on him, as the audience could
plainly see. Suddenly after particu-
larly hard rap he stopped short in the
middle Of his selection, wrenched the
offending cover out Of the instrument
by main force and hurled it across the
platform with great violence. Then,
with smile Of the greatest satisfac-
ton, he reseated himself at the piano
and continued his playing. - Chicago

BRAZIL AND ITS coLoRs.
Flag Day There Has Now Become the
Great National Festival.


In the republic of Brazil, where the
ruling language is Portuguese and a
welcoming hand is extended alike to
the European and the Asiatic immi-
grant, great attention has been paid
for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
The cult of the flag has become more
and more ardent in the hearts Of
that people, and the feast of the flag"
each recurring November is celebrated
with more and more ponp and enthu-
siasm all over the immense empire and
on every Brazilian ship, wherever it
may be. In country noted for its nu-
merous saints days the celebration Of
Flag day has become the true festal
day.
Commenting ON this. lie Bresil Eco
nomique of Rio Janeiro says: "Our
people are imaginative and simple. A
flag undulating in the breeze as it
passes by to the strains of martial
music, that the officers salute with the
sword and before which everybody I'M
covers, speaks more strongly to the
heart Of the people than any dry his
toric date which presents nothing in
the concrete and which to the ignorant
recalls nothing Of significance"
The lesson Of the flag is taught to all
the children Of the schools in Brazil,
and on Flag day they gather in the pub
lie squares Of the city and town and
as in the United States, sing patriotic
hymns.-Indianapolis News.
