TYPHOID CLAIMS
 HUNDREDS IN PERSIA
Mission Worker at Urumiah Tells of Sunerings in Letter to Friends x in America" ta.

New York, July 1e.--The Presby- terian Board of Foreign Missions made publi0 i5cstsrday a' letter re- ceived from Mrs J. P. Cochran. a mission worker at Ururniah, Persia. written on May 20, last a day after the Turks and Kurds left the place because of the approach of superior Russian forces.
 The letter is addressed to Friends in America and describes in detail the sufferings of the people and the missionaries during the occupation of the town by the Turks. Writing of the scourge of typhoid, Mrs Cochran says there are TOO new made graves in the compound at the college as the result of 1t.
 Tn the hospital 7 she writes, there was a time when the head physician assistant, pr. Daniel, who died with it. the matron, druggist, all the nurses, and cook and the bake woni- an. the steward and washerwoman were all down together and 250 patients to be taken care of. You can imagine or rather you can't be- gin to imagine, the disorganization of the place.
 ''In the city 1t was even worse" X Continuing her description of the situation, Mrs. Cochran said:--
 Turkish rule and Kurdish plum dering here reduced the inhabitants to the verge of starvation and as yet the end is not in sight. Wc are still feeding thousands of people just enough bread every day to keep life in their body and have saved the Syrian nation, but have accu- mulated $30,000 or $40,000 of debt. which we don't know where to find the money to repay"

Why Do French Women
Always Look Young?

In France mothers and daughters
look like sisters. How are the WON en-
'theresa1blesto retain their youthful looks
until long past middle age? Is 1t be-
cause they are much given to the use
of mercolized waxf This wax possesses
a remarkable absorbent property which
quickly removes the fine particles of
cuticle which are constantly dying and
which are the immediate cause of an
old-fooking complexion. Thus the live
lier. healthier, younger skin beneath is
given chance to breathe and show
Itself. Try this treatment yourself.
Most likely it will not require two
weeks to make your complexion as
clear soft and beautiful as a young
girls. Just one ounce of mercolized
wax Gall American druggists have IT'D
usually does the work. The wax is put
on nights like cold cream and washed
off mornings.
Another valuable secret with which
the French are familiar is how to
quickly remove wrinkles. One ounce
of powdered saxolite dissolved in q half
pint witch hazel makes a marvelously
effective astringent lotion. The face
should be bathed in this daily until
even the deepest lines are affected
