MANY PRZENIYSL DEFENDERS
MADE INSANE BY ORDEAL

Petrograd, Russia, (via London) )-
The lack of official details from Pr
zemysl is said to be due to the heavy
snow storm that prevailed yesterday
and which broke down the telegraph
lines.
1t is reported, however that nearly
a quarter OF the garrison had suffer
ed with typhoid and scurvy Although
the rations were growing more and
more limited, none but a few Of the
higher officers up to the end of Jan
uary knew that actual starvation was
impending. The real condition of al
fairs was learned by the troops when
an aviator who was starting With
messages for Vienna was shot down
by the Russians and fell within the
defenders line. After that there was
much grumbling in the garrison and
almost a munity Some of the Aus
trians slipped through the lines at
night and surrendered to tile Russl-
ans.
Great Strain on Defenders.
The investing Russian forces in

Tenders began to tell more rapidly
during February. Many were rem

sease. The death list was very high
Civilian inhabitants who had been
unable to escape when the siege be-

The death of two prominent generals

weaken the determination of Genera

By the end of February actual

The Friendly OYSTER,

Science is always defending the ma
ligned oyster. 1t has been proved that
more. nourishment per dollars worth
may be extracted from the oyster than
almost any other food.
Dr. julius Nelson, the biologist,
says:
"Oysters come nearer in compost
ton to cows milk than do most other
meats, as all the four kinds Of nutri-
ents needed are present in good de-
gree. Oysters have larger excess of
the flesh-building substance relative
to the other constituents than milk, so
we balance the ration by addition OF
slarchy food and fats when eating oys-
tiers, thus securing a good meal at a
cost that com pares favorably with that
when other meats are chosen.
"Oysters have some special points
Of advantage, among which are the
following:
"The sea salts that they contain are
useful in regulating and stimulating
nutritional processes.
"They are TIE tenderest Of meats and
easily digested and suitable even for
persons of sedentary habits,
'Tn addition to being easily safe
guarded against accidental contamina-
ton, there is no oyster parasite known
that will live in the human system"

A simple method Of making iron
work proof against rust is to heat 1t
until it is almost red hot and then
brush it over with linseed oil This
makes a varnish which. unlike ordi-
nary paint or enamel. does not chip
on.
