Fears in the carpathians.

Francis AIohiar, the Hungarian playwright who is acting $ war cor respondent of Az Est has contrib uted to that journal a vivid account of the fighting in the Carpathians,
 Tn a report on the fighting in the Carpathians an amusing story IS told by the correspondent of another Hun garian paper The opposing trenches at one place were on two hill sides 400 yards apart. One morning a Russian sniper hidden among the bushes came out with a, loud yell and on both sides the soldiers began to peep out to see what the trouble was. An enormous black bear was sIouching along mid war was forgotten and creeping up from the trenches, Austrians and Ger mans sent a. Volley at the unfortunate bear. Hit by a hundred bullets it stumbled and fell. As soon a it was dark some Austrian soldiers went out to fetch the bear in, but when they got to the spot they found the Rus siars there before them
 s'There are large numbers of bears and packs of wolves, especially in the southeastern ranges of the mountains and very often ad vance guards or reConnoiIring parties have to fight for their lives with these ferOciOus beasts, who, driven by hun ger and made furious by the sound of cannoradine, are ready to attack any number of men.

Less Faith and More Scientific Study

Mir Editor: That the present en- thusiastic wave Of sanitation that seems to have flooded this country is based upon unfoUnded) optisisn rath- CT than logical reasons or proved facts, is supported now by a voice from one of the leaders in sanitation, pr. Charles Y. Chapin, who has been en- gagged in public health work since 1884. He is Q graduate Of Bellevue, 9. mem- ber Of the American Medical associa- works. Municipal Sanitation in the United States and Sources and Modes of Infection
 There is no evidence that quinne cures malaria and that the typhoid germ is the cause of typhoid; that vac cination prevents small pox: that anti toxin has decreased dlphtheria to any extent"
 These were the associates of Dr. Charles Y. Chapin, superintendent of health, Providence. R. L, in . lecture on preventive hygeine and medicine at the Harvard Medical school few weeks ago.
 There is no reason for saying that the air is bad he continued. We have TO reason to assert that district nursing causing the decrease of in fant mortality. We have advocated school inspection, though it proves to have no appreciable effect on the se- verify of infections diseases in a community.
 Public health officers are lively to follow any plausible sounding meas ure for sanitation like sheep. The way we have been removing adenoids and tonsus whenever we find them is an example of that. We need less faith and mere careful scientific study in our methods of municipal sanitation.
 All established forms of preventive medicine should be questioned. The most established and older they are the more they should be questioned. Tn fact, when the consensus of public opinion is strong in support of any one method Of treatment, that method should immediately be inyestigated.'
 In view of the fact that citizens of the larger towns in this state are threatened with legislation proposed by political doctors which aims to deprive them Of the enjoyment OF life, liberty and pursuit of happiness and to impose burdens of taxation un- necessary. and unwarranted under the plea of sanitation and hygiene. it be- hooves us to inquire whether Dr. Chapin or the political doctor is the truest exponent Of scientific sanita-- ton. When we reflect that our town has successfully resisted all efforts of the political doctors to enforce com

German Wonen and the War

The BerlingslIe Tidende, of Copenha- gen, has organized an inquiry among German women concerning the infiu- ence which the war has exercised upon them and their surroundings. One of the most eloquent answers is given by 3. German woman doctor, Frau Estrid Hein. In my capacity of 6cctor,'' she writes, T must say this: I have lately had a great number of patients suffer ing from shattered nerves, nervous breakdown. sleeplessness, and general debility-aH caused by the war. If am to answer the question in my ca paCity of q mother I must say that the war has taught me that my most Sd cred duty is to educate both my sons so as to make them hate every thing which spells war. In my capac- ity of a, woman I must say that I had always a sort of distrust in society as organized by men. This distFust has grown with the war, and I feel that if the women of Europe had only had more to say in the governing of their countries this terrible slaughter Of soldiers and civilians would have been avoided. We women may have our faults. yet it is our instinctive i'm pulse to preserve our children from the crueIties and horrors of the battlefield. As a, doctor, as a mother, and as Q woman, I am beginning to put the value of individual life before that of this terrible campaign"

FITTING FOR NORWICH.

At last, not being able to hold out any longer, the cold trians decided to draw the attention of the Russians to the place. They fired 8 few shots and were at once detected. The Russians rushed to the cavern but could only enter one by one and were either killed or taken prisoners and, disparsine the rest of the Rus sians, they were able to leave the tomb of ice.

RHEUMATISM
Physician Believes 6 Genuine PenasJy for the Disease
 Has Been Found.

Eheunla, the wonderful rheumatism remedy sold by Lee & Oagood and ait druggists, gives quicker and mora lasting relief than other remedies cost ing many times as n1u2h.
 E2euIna gets at once into the blood and purifas it, allowing it to feed freely into the veins and arteries and passes the deadly poisonous secre- JioES into the bowels and kidneys, from which they are quickly thrown off in a natural, healthy way.
 Read what a reputable physician says about RheGma: T have made a most careful investigation of the form ula employed in the manufact cture of Rheuma, and I heartily recommend it as remedy for all forms of rheuma- tism, gout, and complications arising from neglect of these diseases in thsir early stages. On the basis of the formula used alone, 1 find RheUua far in advance of the methods Eensr- ally employed in the treatment Of rheumatism, an1 altogether different in composition from the remedies us- ua!ly prescriDe1'
 This should give any sufferer from rheumatism confidence in trying Rheuma. It is so inexpensive yol cannot afford to dn without it.

Father to Son.

The manner in which 8 German father, named JaschlGo, upbraided his son for serving as chauffeur at mili- tary headG uarters Instead of march ing to the front with his regiment makes interesting reading in a letter which is published by the Woic Bu- reau. It is written from the town of Kiain Stralitz:
 My dear son: We have received your last letter and are glad that you are well. Why do you not write us something from the battlefield? Why don't you get into the firing line with your regiment? Would 1t not have been better if you had an opportunity deed, which you apparently lack in your present position?
 As soon as your brother August had offered his services for patrol duty he was killed by an enemy bullet Sorry though T am for him, l am proud that he gave his life for his country as a brave soldier while performing a. courageous deed. Yoar brother Franz also lies in the hospital and will prob aoty not be able to resume Sighting. l still love to think of the time you served in the army when l was proud of the fact that all three of you were promoted to the rank Of acting coporal. Still pr0uder however would I have been, if all three of you had dis tlngu1shed yourselves before the enemy by a heroic deed. l would, 1T my legs pePIni tied go to the front All the battles of 1870-71 are passing through my memory. Dear. son, you must perform your full duty to Elm peror and country if 1t should cost your life. l am proud, however to be able to say I have raised three sons; all three I have given to the EIa peror for the defense o1 the F'ath erland and all three have done their duty as brave soldiers, my son, let us know whether you will remain Tv4tS2 your command or return to yoIr reg .nent and write us regarding aii Eou dc. sOf the soldiers from KiSin StrSitt1 all ready six have been killed izi battle and eight wounded.

ANOTHER MEXICAN MUppLE.

Nothing has been contributed to the uuraveling of the Mexican tangIe or to the cause Of the constitutionalists v the action of Carranza in diving the Spanish minister from that repub- lie and forcing him to the shelter of sn American warship. It has added . new international aspect to the chaotic situation which is bound to he broa adened if as threatened he eX- tends his action 10 the representatives of other countries in an endeavor 10 obtain recognition from foreign coun- tries.
 Whether Mexico will be able to ad- just the situation with Spain diplomat ically remains to be seen. The situ- vticn is such that it is difficult to snow just who is to be looked upon as the head of that nation at the sresent time. Certainly Carranza has control of only a, small portion of the spublic in his self appointed capital If Vera Cruz but he does nothing to strengthen his position by his new at ilude towards the representatives of foreign countries. He has manifested he disposition of turning upon his friends and bidding defiance to all hose who must be governed by the acts and not entirely by sympathy

By aEnexing Franz Josef Land, Rus sia increases the number, rather than the eXtert, of her possessions. The archipelago consists Of about sixty islands; almost ali of the group being covered with snowcIad glaciers. The Austrian pioneers believed they had discovered continuous land, but their successors, the first of whom was Benjamin Leigh Smith, found that the acquisition was broken up into islands. Both Nausen and the Duke of the Abruzzi have explored the group. Now that Austria's arctic territory has been captured, we may hear of the hoistins of the British flag in Kaiser Wilhelm II.

Norwich Readers Can No Longer
 Doubt the Evidence.

This Norwich citizen testified long ago.
 Told of quick relief-of undouoted benefit.
 The facts are now confirmed.
 Such testimony is complete-the evil dence conclusive.
 It forms convincing proof of merit.
 Mrs. c. Bennett, 46 Palmer St, Nor wich, says: Some years ago one Of my family suffered from bacEache. Every cold he caught settled on his kidneys and made the trouble worse. His kidneys were disordered. as was shown by the kidney secretionx being irregular in passage. Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at N. D. Seyin & Sons Drug Store, brought prompt relief"
 A LASTING EFFECT.
 At later interview Mrs. Bennett said: Deans Kidney Pills cured ons of my family of kidney trouble some years ago and there has been no sign of it since. I willingly confirm my former endorsement of this remedy"
