PROGRESS Of THE WAR

The reports of the week from
the eastern theater of the war seem
to be favorable to the Russian
armies. In the Carpathians and
West Galicia the Austrians have
not only been checked in their adj
vance but have suffered severe
reverses and been driven back
from an important mountain pass
controlling some of the best oil
fields in the Austrian empire. In
the Caucasus, a large Turkish
army, estimated to number 600,
900 men, which had advanced in
three columns and taken Arabian
and threatened Tiflis, is reported
to have been overwhelmingly de-
teated at Arabian and Sari- KAN
ysh, an. 3 and q. The Russians
are said to be jubilant over these
successes. In Poland both the
Russians and Germans report the
situation unchanged, although
fighting continues, the German
attacks progressing east and south
OF the Bzura, while muddy roads
and unfavorable weather condi-
tions interfere with CD erations on
the right bank of the. Pilica by
which the kaiser's army is endeav-
orlng to cut lis way to Warsaw.
On the western front both the
Germans and French claim some
minor successes in Alsace and the
Argonne.
On January l England lost another
battleship by German submarine off
Plymouth in the English chanuel.
1t was the Formi dahle, Is years old
and costing So 100000. Only 20I of

How Doctors May Have Banks Keep
Track of Their Business.
The Medical Record quotes from

Sir John Collie is the author of this
system. His plan is to keep two bank

his ordinary current account, into
which he should pay all the money he
receives, whether he has been paid in
cash or checks. 1t is an excellent rule
never to spend n penny which has not
come to one through his banking ac-
count. The physician should never get
checks which have been paid to him
cashed by the local tradesman. He
should never pay his chauffeur with
his fees. Every single item received
from the physicians practice from one
years end to another should go
through his banking account No. /. II
the physician has been tempted to use

If he has bought stamps with the mon

then he should draw check for the
amount, cash 1t and pay the money
into his bank. Thus. and thus only. Gun

'If the physician should die suddenly
or wish to sell his practice. then. and
then only. whether his other business

the real intrinsic value of the business

from the practice upon which to found
the purchase price.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

We wish to express our apprecia-

school sale and programs before
Christmas 1t is pleasure TO have
the patrons of the school with US on
such occasions, especially when they
come in such an uncritical and
friendly spirit.
Enough was cleared from the sale,
together with what was already on
hand, to make the first payment OF
twenty-five dollars on the piano We
hope to clear enough from the re-
naming numbers on the Lyceum
Course to make the other necessary
payments before the close of the
school term.
