Seed Is Their Currency.

An ancient system of banking is still
in active and successful operation in
southern Italy. This is that of the
monti frumentari. or grain storage
warehouses. In these are stored large
quantities Of seed, which is given out
to farmers upon demand without pay
ment. After the harvest the farmers
return TO the warehouses the amount
of seed they have received, plus inter
est in seed. Thus do the farmers be-
come established agriculturists with
out the necessity of borrowing money.

was devoted to description of girl
knitting in a street car. The truth
seems to be that the needs of the Bel

about a revival of knitting. The Star

LIFE WAS A TRAGEDY,
SAID IOWA WOMAN

Mrs. William Litzenberg of Monte
yuma. Iowa, suffered from stomach
troubles for a long period. She grew
weak as a result of the failure of her
digestive processes. She was always
tired.
Then came Mayr's Wonderful Rem
edy and showed her the way back to
health again.
The first bottle, the very first dose,
put Mrs. LitZenberg on her feet. She
wrote:
81 have taken four bottles of your
Wonderful Remedy. l cant be thank
full enough for it. I must say that it
is the best medicine that l ever tried.
81 was so weak that I did not think
life was worth ~living-had no appetite
everything I ate worked against me.
but now 1 can eat anything at all that
looks good. l feel SO strong-have
been able to do a good days work
ever since I took the first bottle"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure Of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try II

VICTIMS FILL FOUR MORGUES
Bodies of Lusitania Passengers at
queenstown

Observation-Disclosures was a day OF
the dead in Queenstown. No surviv-
OrS were added to the meager list
and the only figures augmented were
those of the identified dead. No ad-
ditional deaths were reported at the
hospitals.
Soldiers toiled all day in the grave
yard digging graves for the unknown
dead, who were buried Monday. The
public funeral was too large for the or
binary facilities of Queenstown and
Cork and trucks were provided to car
ry the collins. The funeral was
marked by military pomp, such as is
accorded those who died in the armed
service of their country.
Capt. William A. Castle and AleXan.
der Miller, the American military at
taches, arrived here to confer with
the American consul, Wesley Frost.
Consul Frost has supplied many
American survivors with money to
reach their destinations. All the
identified American dead have been
claimed by the consul and the bodies
embalmed.
The survivors are beginning to re-
cover from their shock, n tell more
coherent stories of their experiences.
The stories of lifeboat inadequacy
grow as the passengers are able to
take a cooler view of the disaster. A
number of the survivors maintain that
only five out of the thirty-nine life
boats which were swung out were sue.
cessfully launched. Other assert that
~,J -, &c., @,ro~;, fhn boats
was not given until the second torpedo
struck home. The American survivors
have taken no action and have made
no protest in any form beyond supply
ing the American consul with a few
affidavits embodying their expert
ences.

London.-Fifteen hundred persons
lost their lives, the British admiralty
estimates, when the Cunard line steam
ship Lusitania was ~tOrpedoed Friday
afternoon off Old Head kinsale, IN the
Irish coast.
The known survivors number only
65S, while there were 2,160 souls
aboard the great liner when h was
attacked. OF those who were saved,
sos were landed at Queenstown and
II at kinsale, while So others are re-
ported to be aboard a steamer All
but one of the rescue fleet of torpedo
boats, tugs and trawlerS which went
out from Queenstown have reported.
There is a slender hope hat fish
ing boats may have rescued a few
more.
In addition to the living brought
ashore, the bodies of AS who died of
injuries or were drowned, have been
landed at Queenstown. Five more are
at kinsale, and it has been reported
that an armed trawler accompanied
by two fishing boats has picked up 100
others.
