ACT OF
OLDER SISTER
LITTLE GIRLS LIFE PROBABLY
SAVED BY TRANSMISSION OF
BLOOD FROM THE HEALTHY
OLDER RELATIVE.

After an absence OF two weeks, Mr..
Jack Adams has returned from At
lanta, where he was called to the
bedside OF his daughter, Violet, who
was reported very i'll, but the many
little friends of the brave little suf-
ferer will be pleased to learn that she
is on the road to recovery.
After the attending physicians and
surgeons considered the case of little
Violet almost helpless, they were
forced to resort to the last measure,
and that was the TRANSMISSION of blood
into the weakened body of the little
patient. Her sister, Lillian, who was
also in Atlanta, bravely volunteered
for this service, and a large quantity
of the healthy older relatives blood
was forced into the veins of the sick
child, with the expected result that,
thus far, the doctors admit that She
Is out of immediate danger, and the
brave act of the older sister will prob
ably be the indirect means of saw
ing the little ones life.
This will be gratifying news for lit
tie Violet's many little school mates
and friends of the family, who wish
for her a speedy recovery and an early
return home.

The Suez Canal is
Threatened by Turkey.

EngIands great waterway across
the Isthmus Of Suez, connecting the
Red Sea. with the Mediterranean,
which for almost half a century has
been an important factor in the COM
rnerce of the world, is threatened by
the Turkish armies, now marching
south through Palestine, and while
confidence is expressed by England
in her ability to protect the water
way, there seems to be little ques-
ton that it will be more or less Sc
riously damaged. even with every pos
sible method of protection that can
be resorted to.
The Suez canal was formally
opened - years ago by Ferdinand de
Lesseps, its constructor, who after
wards failed in the attempt to con-
struct a similar waterway across the
the Empress Eugene, of France, led
a paraCe of 68 vessels of various IA
tionaliticS through the canal at the
formal opening, the trip requiring
was shallow and narrow, so that yes
sells could pass each other only at
widely separated intervals and pas
sages for vessels drawing more than
20 feet of water was impossible. Yes
sells with a draught of 20 feet found
the passage slow and tedious because
Of the danger of grounding.
The canal became at once a great
factor in the worlds commerce For
the first time the great Indian store
house of wheat could be drawn on
for bread by Europe. Prior to that
time because Of the weevil and the
troptc heat. it was impossible to ship
wheat by way Of the cape.
Ten francs per ton was the toll
charged. and although the canal was
used by a large number of vessels,
the company operated it at loss for
some years. It was neutraIized from
the first, but in 1888 the principal
powers of Europe met and formally
ratified the neutrality, Great Britain
reserving the right to declare that
this agreement should not interfere
with her control of Egypt An enor-
nous sum was spent in improving the
canal
Great steamers drawing IS and 20
feet of water can now pass through
it in 16 hours, either in the day or
at night. If the Suez canal had not
been considerably improved in the
last 10 years it would have lost much
OF it's business to the Panama canal,
and whether it is damaged or not the
war will result in diverting traffic
for the far east through the Panama
waterway.
