BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and SEN
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tions;- usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the infamma-
ton often spreads'to the lungs. -
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth forforty years-is Scots Emul-
sion. It drives out the cold, which
is the root Of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process Of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that Scott's Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.

reached the, age Of Il or had passed o.
Later it was also decided to exchange
the military unfit on the basis already
agreed upon with Germany.
In addition to assisting the civil pris-
oners Of war on the return to their
homes, the bureau takes care of the cor
respondence of those who have not been
liberated as, yet, generally males OF mil
itary age and fitness. 1t also interests
itself in the complaints made by these.
The bureau, moreover, has charged it
self with the following: Securing infor-
nation concerning rneutrals living in
any of the belligerent states: interesting
itself to the extent possible under exist
ing conditions in the civil prisoners of
war held in England. Russia, Servia and
the other belligerent countries and their
colonies: watching the treatment Of
males of military. age and fitness who
have been detained in any of the coun-
tries at war; and reporting On AL cases
of hostage. The bureau also undertakes
securing data on the whereabouts and
condition of neutrals who for various
reasons haye not been able to ,commu-
nicate with their families and friends.
So far the committee has not been
able to do much for the civil prisoners
of war held in Great Britain and the
British colonies. Russia and Servia.
Turkey has recently signified its inten-
ton of joining France and Germany in
accepting the voluntary services of the
bureau.
The expenses of the committee are met
in part by the members, by subscriptions
in Switzerland. and by contributions
made by the Swiss government in the
form of free railroad Transportation and
free postal service. Virtually all the
clerical and Red Cross work in connec-
ton with the mission is done by unpaid
volunteers, who in many cases are
obliged even to pay their travelling ex-
penses in France ana Germany. So far
the bureau has failed to secure even
free postage privileges from the coun-
tries whose subjects it benefits.
Professor DR.. Ernst Roethlisberger is
the chief of the bureau in Berne. Ed
uard Audeoud, a prominent citizen OF
Geneva, is principally responsible fer the
exchange arrangements, and president
Hoffman of the Swiss Republic has done
everything possible TO assist the organ

ASSOCIATED Fress Correspondence

London, JAN 2.-The sudden Ser
Wan right about face, which trans7
formed seeming defeat and rout into
victory and the recapture of Bel
grade, was ordered by the Servian
staff as a result of the pleading of d
committee of private soldiers, accord
ing to letters just received here
When the Servian retreat began
in November" writes an officer wno
was present at the recapture of Bel
grade, and we had to abandon town
after town before the vastly superior
forces of the Austrians, there was
great discontentment throughout the
rank and file Of the army. When the
heart OF Shun1adia was reached, sew
eral regiments were actually on the
brink of mutiny.
Then one regiment sent a deputa-.
ton of private soldiers to the COM
mander to urge the retreating tactics
be abandoned. They argued and
pleaded at great length with the Gen
eral staff. These are our homes,
they insisted, and we must defend
them. If the Austrians are to take
these. let it be over our dead bodies.
We cannot retreat any further
Before they left headquarters, they
had prevailed, and they returned to
their regiment with the assurance
that the retreat would be stopped al
once
That very night the fighting began.
No quarter was asked or given, and
the toll Of dead, both Austrian and
Servian, was terrible. Worst of all,
the fighting, despite all our effort :,
was indecisive
Then it was that Prince Alexander
and General Putnik decided to put
into execution a plan they had con-
ceived some time before. Unexpect.
eddy old King Peter appeared in the
trenches. He spoke to the soldiers as
II they were children: he told them
stories of Servian prowess in the days
of old; he declared his intention Of
fighting by their side.
Here, my children he said, we
must defend our country, our homes,
our fields. He who cannot or will not
fight to the uttermost should leave
the ranks and throw away his gun.
He has my permission to return home.
Here in these trenches every man
must be the bravest. Our lives are
nothing, but let us sell them dearly
The quiet eloquence Of the Old
King always created great en-
thusiasm. Not man but was stirred.
and when the order came to advance,
the Servians threw themselves u pom
the. Austrians fiercely. A few mo-
ments before the battle was to begin
the soldiers were praying fervently,
Then they advanced singing and
cheering, and the Austrians gave way
before that onslaught

Berne, Switzerland, Jan. 10.---According
to data supplied by the International
Red Cross Committee, which has charge
of the Information Bureau for Interned
Civil Persons, about 1000 French who
have been internal in Germany have
been repatriated through the SER
vices Of the bureau. In these cases the
Red Cross committee supplied free
transportation through Switzerland. In
addition about $50 French citizens who
were able to pay their railroad fares
were assisted by the committee in So
curing their release in Germany.
The bureau has been largely response
BILE for the reciprocal exchange Of In
termed civil persons held in France
Germany and Austro-Hungary. In ad-
dition to repatriating French citizens,
1t has also assisted such Germans and
Acknowledgements as have been re-
leased by the French government. By
December Is the number of Germans
who had been aided by the bureau to
reach their homes exceeded 5000. Aus
tro-Hungarians in whose behalf the
bureau had been active numbered more
than 1,eoo. These large numbers of ref
ugees were handed by means of special
trains. For LOIS Germans and Austro-
Hungarians the committee provided
hospital accommodation, and for 23S
Germans and 20 Austrians it secured
permanent residence in Switzerland. - =,
The bureau was organized during the
middle Of September. For several weeks
neither the German nor the French gov
eminent needed its requests that the
civil prisoners of war held in the two
countries be given their liberty On
October 20 its effort led to the announce
ment that both governments would lib
crate the women and children held by
them and such males as had not reached
the age Of II. or had passed the age of
Co. on Sept. 20. 1914. Shortly afterwards
the first transports from both countries
began to arrive.
AS the result Of further negotiations
the French and German governments
agreed on Nov. % to include in the class

were no longer fit for military service

WORDS HAV-
ING POSSIBLE VAL
UEoF $1875 EACH

Portland. Me-, Jan. 22.-Eight
words, lead-penciled on timber by q
practically unknown workman, may
prove more valuable than the rarest
typewriter copy ever turned out oy
Rudyard Kipling. ~,
Though fabulous prices have been
paid to writer's of fiction in these
latter days Conan Doyle himself
never set down words that could hope
to equal the value that may attach t.
the eight words claimed to have been
written in lead pencil on the rough
timber of the wooden horse which
supported the elevator on which
Isaac A. Wing of this city claims lie

lowell, at Auburn.
Mr.. Wing brings suit for $4,000 for

floors while he and other wsrkmen
were on it. The trial Of the suit WAS
begun yesterday in the supreme
court before Judge Bird. =
Two bells. down empty. Three
bells, down loaded" are the eight
words which the defense VIII en-
deavor to show were written on the
horse that supported the elevator.
They will claim that this code was
not followed by the workmen on the
elevator, but that one Of them
signaled by the electric bell which
cnnected with the engine room, tw,
bells, thus giving the engineman II
understand thai" the elevator was to
be let down empty. They will en-
deavor to show that when the ele-
yator was to be lowered empty, the
engineman simply released the brakes
on the Gable drum and allowed 1.-The
elevator to come down Of it's own
weight; that being loaded it came
down with great force, and conse-
quently Mr.. Wing was hurt as he sets
forth, but that it was not any negli-
gence pm the part of the company, blu,
that if there was any it was on the
part Of the plaintiff or those on the
elevator with him.
If the defense is able to show that
these words were on the timber put
there for the guidance Of the work
man, that the code was not observed
by the plaintiff and that therefore
there was no negligence on the par
Of the company, thereby upsetting tht

Competitive Printing


Ito appeal to special class of readers, to
express the personality Of an individual adj
vertiser.
First, we offer good printing-as good
as can be done. To that we add suggestions,
ideas, layouts Of our own to make the print
ing effective whether it is a label or an adj
vertisement.
We are glad to give you an estimate of '
what a job will cost, but an estimate upon
job Of printing is valuable only when each
printer is estimating on the same job.
That seldom happens.
Paper costs cents to Is cents pound.
Ink costs Is cents to S. a pound.
Taste, originality, knowledge these
are almost priceless
If you are good judge of all these
things-then you can decide between esti-
mates. Competitive printing, however,
never secures such good results as reposing
confidence in printer of proved worth.
The next time your attention is arrested
by printed thing we'll done, stop and ask
yourself: Can such work be done by the
printer who figures lowest? No. Cheap
printing conveys the idea that you are
cheap man. doing cheap business at cheap
prices.
1t seems unfortunate that people do not

ment that can be put in type has no appeal
unless the vital words are properly mar
shalled by an intimate knowledge of paper
ink, and type faces plus-and here is the big
secret-the knowledge of the particular re-
quirement in hand and the ability to handle
it. Your printer should become the master
workman who moulds the many elements
into one harmonious whole.
Naturally we are subject to the wishes
of our customers. If you desire to attend tc
the various parts which 20 to make the
completed job-if you feel competent to be-
come the master mind, we will become me-
chanics and produce for you the printed
work which will be your conception of what
you want.
But if you leave it to us we will adapt
your ideas and embody your needs into the
harmonious expression which you seek. If
it is results or effectiveness that you are
after we can help you. That subtle dignity,
fitness OF purpose and general impressive
ness become an intangible part of our work.
To summarize. Don't haggle on cost;
haggle for effectiveness. Don't waste your
time dickering. Come to headquarters.
Come where they have the equipment, the
men, the ability, the reliability, and the Gre
ative service
We shall be pleased to prove our claims
of our ability to serve you intelligently and
well. -.e.~ .@ ~.
