STATE DEPARTMENT
 TO PROTECT AGENTS

Washington. Oct. 6-state depart nent officials have decided to take no chances on losing any of their agents by permitting them to remain within the danger zone of any Euro. pean battle field. Instructions issued at the beginning of the war left the question of personal safety to the dis erection of the diplomatic agents. These, however, have now been modi- fed and wherever there is a possi- bility of danger the officers have been requested to temporarily change their posts
 Orders to this effect were sent to- day to Consul Peck at Tsing Frau, China. which port is 1besieged by the Japa.nese forces. Similar instructions have been ca,bled William BardeI, consul at Rheims, France, who is re- ported to have sought refuge from the German guns in a. wine cellar. It is planned to repeat these orders in the future to others of the service who may be entrapped by war dangers.

measures, within the last year, as the

for a survey of a municipal hospital,
and another for a reformatory, the Ju-

Lime Treatment

Ethical medical journals seldom
speak so positively about a remedial
agent, yet this testimony comedies
with that from many Consumptives
who have secured like results through
the use of Eckman's Alternative.
Since calcium is a constituent of
Iosis and allied throat and bronchial
affections, its healing power may in
some measure be attributed to the
manner in which this element is so
combined with other ingredients as
to be easily assimilated by the aver
age person and it does not irritate the
stomach.

Mr. Roberts doubts whether the stock

one strong influence against their do

Farmers Of the South are urged to
cultivate beans and peas and raise dairy
cattle as substitute for cotton. IN a
statement issued today by the Public
Health Service. which declares that by
this means Southern farmers not only
will make a profit but aid the fight on
peilagra. which has been prevalent in
the South.
BY using regularly an abundance of
fresh milk, eggs fresh lean meat, beans
and peas. not only may pelagra be cured
when the disease is not too far ad-
Vanced, but prevented the statement
says This actually happened in at
least one institution where, in 1918,
seventy-five cases of pellagra occurred.
As result of change of diet, not a sin
gle case is known to have developed this

Pellagra. therefore, is declared to be a
disease which can be prevented by an
