had risen to a figure which made the
price of food prohibitive to the mass
Of the people by the time it had reach

ordinary circumstances stood at five
pence, was already at one and two
pence Beef was 3 shillings and four
pence a pound and mutton 2 shillings

in proportion. The government had
acted with energy and offered a big
bounty for corn to be planted at once.

Strong appeals had been made to the
patriotism of the people, and they
were assured that the interference with
trade was temporary and that with a
little patience all would be well. But
already there was a marked rise in the
death rate, especially among children,
who suffered from want Of milk, the
cattle being slaughtered for food.

you should begin using DR.. Miles

water. She reports having been at
tackled by hostile submarine ten miles
to the southeast of the Lizard. In
stead OF using her torpedoes the SUBJ
marine for some reason approached
upon the surface and fired five shots
from semiautomatic twelve FOUNDER

preston that the Macedonia was I'M
armed. AS matter of fact, being
warned Of the presence of submarines
in the channel the Macedonia had
mounted her armament as an aux
Hilary cruiser She opened fire with
two quick frers and blew away the
coming tower of the submarine 1t is
probable that the shells went right
through her, as she sank at once with
her matches open. The Macedonia was

DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any
pharmacy. Take tablespoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus driving cold from the
system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. 1t is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

1t was or Wednesday night that the
Iota crossed to Etretat. 1t was Friday
afternoon before we had reached our
new cruising ground. Only one large
steamer did l see upon our way. Inc
terror we had caused had cleared the
channel. This big boat had a clever
captain on board. His tactics were
excellent and took him in safety to
the Thames. He came Zigzagging up
channel at twenty-five knots, shooting
off from his course at all sorts OF I'M
expected angles. With our slow pace
we could not catch him, nor could we
calculate his line so as to cut him or.
OF course he had never seen us, but he
judged and judged rightly that Wher-
ever we were those were the tactics by
which he had the best chance Of get
ting past. He deserved his success.
But. of course. it is only in a wide
channel that such things can be done.

Thames there would have been a diff

WHY ALEXANDER WEPT.
Didn't Know Way Back Home, Small
Student Surmises.

The teacher was telling his class
about the conquest of Alexander the
Great. He made the tale a stirring
one, and at last reached the conquest
Of India. Wishing to impress the
children, he said:
When Alexander had conquered
India, what do you think he did? Do
you think he gave a great feast to
celebrate his triumph? No; he sat
down and wept.f
The children seemed to be little
disappointed at this childish exhibi-
tion on the part Of the hero; so the
teacher continued.
Now, why do you think Alexan-
der wept?" he asked.
Up went little hand; but when
its owner saw it was the only one In
view he hurriedly withdrew it.
Come on now, Tommy" said the
teacher in his most persuasive voice,
"why do you think Alexander wept?"
please, SIR" said Tommy hesitat-
ingly, perhaps he didn't know the
way back. "-Exchange

sheriff lies lowering between life and
death. The negro is dead. Several
deputies are badly wounded. Talk
about Mexico? Here at the door OF
this court house lawlessness reigns
1t ought to shake the State of South
Carolina from centre to circumfer-
ence," emphatically declared Judge
Wilson.
Tribute to Sheriff.
The Judge paid a glowing tribute
to the brave sheriff who risked his
life in the performance Of his duty.
"A man without a drop Of coward S
blood in his veins and man whom l
delight to honor; wish every sheriff
in South Carolina was like him, and
that we had thousands of such citi-
zens," stated Judge Wilson, who
praised the bravery, the devotion to
duty and the action of Sheriff Hood,
and called on the grand jury to bring
the ones guilty of this horrible
crime" to justice.
Solicitor j. K Henry was equally
emphatic in his denunciation Of the
occurrence, and took immediate steps
to begin a vigorous prosecution of
the guilty parties. The matter was
taken in hand by the grand jury and
an immediate investigation was be-
gun.
Coroner Smith empanelled jury
and, after viewing the remains of the
dead negro, adjourned the inquest
until later date. 1t is hardly prob
able tnat the coroner's jury will
make much of an investigation, be-
cause the grand jury, being in ses-
sion, will handle the whole matter.
Late this afternoon Ernest Isen-
hover and Jesse Morrison were ar
rested, charged with participating in
the shooting. and both were lodged
in Jail. 1t is understood that war
rants have been issued for others and
more arrests are expected to follow.
