CONSTANTINOPLE, (By courier
to Dedeagatch and thence by mail)
July 14.-More and more, as the ex-
istence of the empire becomes men,
aeed more and more does the Turkish
police department. the II and only
department of government for which
the Turk has ever shown a real
genius increasing its activities. The
Turks say they have a million and a
quarter of men under arms. One
would be tempted TO believe they
were referring to the number of
policemen.
Recently complaint was made TO
Enver Pasha that there was too
much surveillance of the Scorpion,

anchored in the Bosporus at the foot
of the American College for Girls.

LIEF THAT GALVESTON

suffer.

a. ". Meadows arrived Saturday
right from Galveston where ne mas
spent the last two months. He re-
ports that he was doing well there
before the storm wrought such hay
oc. but says no kind of a position
would tempt him to remain there
and AXE chances on another storm.
Mr.. Meadows is of the opinion that
half the dead in the recent storm
have not been accounted for and says
the property loss is something enoi-
nous. In speaking of the storm he
says the great waves, driven before
a ninety-mile wind, broke over the
seawall and swept the city covering
every inch OF the island. Houses
were blown down and washed COM
pletely away. He says there are many
people there who cannot find even a
piece of the furniture hat furnished
their once comfortable home, and in
some instances they cannot find the
lots their houses stood on.
In describing conditions Mr.. Mead
ows said many people would have
persisted for want of water but for a
heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon.
They had beer withou, water almost
eighteen hours when this rain came
and every available vessel was press
AL into earvfca tor starinu a cnnnlv af
water. He says at the hotel where he
was stopping even filled the bath
tubs with drinking water and that
passersby were given a drink as often
as they came, but no one was allowed
to take water away with them. He
says the people waded water and
mud there TO rthree or -four days
without a change OF clothing, wash
ing their faces or shaving. and that
he simply could not stand it any
longer and left on the first opportu-
nifty. In speaking of the relief meas
sures Mr.. Meadows says he doubts
If all Galveston people are reeeiv-
ing the attention they should have.
He don't think the city is able to
take are of all the storm sufferers,
because they number into the thou
sands. He said it vas not so much
"a matter of money but one of food
stuffs. The prices that prevail viii
soon exhaust the money supply.
Mr.. Meadows believes the people
Of Texas ought to assist the strick-
On city even though the officials
there believe Galveston capable OF
taking care of her own. He don't
think there is muen of Galveston
let, end says the report that only
3Gn feet of the approach to the
i~cadseway being gone is ridiculous.
Ho doubts ii there is enough OF The
causeway left to be repaired. lie
further says the condition at TcAas
! City and along the mainland coast
is equally as bad if moi worse. Tex
las City is under martial law and the
soldiers keep the civilians moving
along. lie says the party that came
over on the train with him missed 4
train by a few moments and that
they were permitted to land only
when they pushed their way off the
boat, and then they ware told to
keep moving on through the city,
THEY walked a distance up the track
and we're picked up by a passing
Itrain and brought into Houston.

BREEDING HENS FOR LAYERS
Bringing Up Laying Strain Requires
Much Patience and Worry Of
Several Kinds.

In breeding for layers you will start
with, we will say, dozen hens, and
they should be of laying breed and
purebred II you would make sue

must keep the record closely for that
season, and even If purebred and you
are breeding for a 150-egg record for
the year, you may possibly come out
with three or four only Of the twelve
that come up to the number of eggs
wanted, and unless you have marked
the eggs from each one Of the trap
nested hens you are likely to not
know one chick Matched from these
hens that are to form the start for the
laying strain, but If you do know the
chicks from these hens eggs-a diff

larger number to start with in next

TO DESTROY LICE ON FOWLS
Several Kinds Of Powder Manufae-
tured for Purpose-WhItewash
Inside Of Poultry House.

There are several kinds Of good pow
ders manufactured and sold to kill the
lice in the plumRge Of fowls.
The fowl to be treated should be
held by the shanks, with it's head
down and the powder worked into it's
plumage with the fingers until the
plumage is full Of it. If applied when
the fowls are on the roost and they
are carefully put back after being
busted, the powder will be more ef-
fective.
To get rid OF the little mites, all the
roOsts and nearby woodwork should
be frequently busted with nce-killing
powder. The inside of the house
should be cleaned and whitewashed.
The fowls should be busted with the
powder several times during the sum

Elizabeth and Martha were friends.
Elizabeth said the word should al

Martha declared that every letter that

Elizabeth kissed her affectionately,

what the years might bring them they

And" said Martha, who was the
more ardent and imaginative Of the
two, there are to be no secrets be-

To which Elizabeth agreed in an alb

satisfy her friend.
So Martha suggested that they draw
up an agreement of eternal love and
