But Macedonia alone would have
been sufficient to feed its capital.
That is why it is said that Macedonia
could not exist without Saloniki and
vice versa. Today, however Mace
donia is divided between Greece.
Servia and Bulgaria, Greece having
the smallest part of IT, Hence Sa-
loniki has no border land Of any ac-
count.
That being the case. not only has
the commerce in and about Saloniki
been hampered. but the adjoining
states, Seryia and Austria in particU.
lar, have found 1t necessary to de.
mand a free outlet at that port.
Meeting after meeting has been held
and urgent requests have been made
by the citizens OF Saloniki to the
Athenian government to find some
way of preventing the commercial
death of the city, but thus far in vain.
The sugar and -four industry, the
shoe factories and nearly the entire
manufacturing system have been al.
most destroyed. Business transac-
tions are tardy and insecure and the
exports and imports for the year will
not amount to one-fourth the average
of former years.

ing took place in the city which was
attended by leading Greek merchants
as well as others. 1t was urged in a
resolution that the city be made a
free commercial town.
Hard Problem for Greece.
Under these circumstances one can
understand why Greece granted
Servia free zone in that port As
soon, however, as the news OF that
concession was made public Austria
demanded the same right But should

PURE WATER SHOULD

Best Of All Substances to Use as
Antiseptic Is Potassium

The most sure and rapid method by

Furthermore, the water itself may

Finally, it is difficult to devise any
satisfactory drinking fountain in which

ton from litter. manure, etc.
All these considerations indicate the
advisability of adding to all drinking
water which is given to poultry some
substance which shall act as a harm
less antlseptic. The best of all such
substances yet discovered for use with
poultry is potassium permanganate.
This is dark, reddish purple crystal
line substance which can be bought of
any druggist. 1t ought never to cost
more than 80 cents a pound and a
pound will last for a long time. It

aiming to keep layer of undiss0lved

stock solution like this alongside the
faucet where the water is drawn for
the poultry.
Whenever any water is drawn for
either chicks or adult fowls add
enough of the stock solution to give
the water a rather deep wine ,olor.
This means one to two teaspoonfuls of
the stock solution to ten quarts OF wa.

Gus ! could hardly control my feelings.
Finally | spoke to our family physi-
clan about 1t and he asked II | drank
much coffee and mother told him that
did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum in
Its place. as he and his family had
used Postum and found 1t a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.
IL hesltated for time, disliking the
Idea of having to give up my coffee. but
finally got a package and found 1t to
be all the doctor said.
"Since drinking Postum in place Of
coffee my dizziness, blindness and
nervousness are all gone, my bowels

Postum has done for me-"

CAR GOES 28.7 MILES
ON GALLON OF GASOLINE
Red Crown Shows Remarkable Test.

Judged by C. A. c. Committee.
Surprising results we're obtained
Tuesday in Chicago, when. in a dis
tance test on the boulevards, a 1915
big six went 2S.7 miles on a gallon of
Red Crown gasoline. The test was
made to demonstrate the fuel economy
Of high test gasoline, by the technical
committee OF the Chicago Automobile
Club.
Red Crown gasoline, So test, was de-
cided upon by the judges and drivers
as the best gasoline to be used. All
through the trip the clutch was not
slipped, except when traffic congestion
made 1t necessary The dash adjust
ment on the carburetor was discon-
nected. and in order that the test be
fair one, the fan was in operation
throughout the run.
Next came the acceleration test.
With the carburetor adjustment the
same as during the economy run, the
car was driven frCm m standing start to
thirty miles an hour in IL 40 seconds
The fiexibility test saw the car run
at four miles an hour, then speeded
up to forty-four.
The test proves that the six is not
an excessive fuel consumer, where the
best gasoline is used.

mistake that we often make Is
that we wean our pigs too young /

weeks old, and there is nothing better
than a little milk and shorts to get
them started. Then feed them liber-
ally, and by the time you wean them
at eight or ten weeks old. you have
a big, strong, lusty pig.

strong believer in raising the little
pigs out in the open.

them In storms, and foI feeding pur-

testing to the porte, declared that in

1t is nearly a year Since the last

Epirus and Thrace is unbearable, the
people are on the verge OF starvation,
the cities are decaying and commerce
is dead. Adrianople. Monastir, Uskub
and Saloniki, not to speak OF the In
terror. are merely shadows OF their
former state.
Saloniki, the capital OF Macedonia,
has been declared by all TO be dying
fast When II is remembered that in
the days of the Apostle Paul Saloniki
was a very prosperous city numbering
some three hundred thousand inhabi-
tants. and that In Turkish times, too,
II was second only to Constantinople
In importance. one is at loss to ac-
count for its stagnation and dilapida-
ton today. Many believed that the
port in the hands OF a modern state
would fare far better than under the
Turks.
Decay OF salonlkI.
The reasons for the decay OF Sa-
lonih are obvious to those who are
versed in the history and conditions
OF the Balkans. During Turkish
times Saloniki was fiourishing port
because It served as a distributing
port. 1t supplied with goods, not only
Macedonia, but also Epirus. Albania.
Thrace aud even northeastern Bul.
garia and southern Servla. Saloniki
goods were sold even In Sofia and
Belgrade. That was made possible
because Of the low tariff that existed
between Turkey and those states.

will place the Mother Lode in the list of big shippers Pres
dent Godfreys company will install machinery to quickly
drive many hundred of feet of tunnels road will be
built from the end of the tram little mile from the

that he has from the head officials of the Copper

build such mines develop tonnage And is expected
that several of such copper properties will be developed within
three years The Mother Lode Company made
shipment of 200 tons of to the Tacoma smete
that netted about 60 per "copper" and returned the
$4,000 Another shipment will be made to the smelter
This is instance of what the company doing and it is
expected that within the three years good
