Harry p. Packard OF the P~resbyter-
ian mission station at Urcmiah. risked
his life in a successful effort to pre-.
vent a frightful massacre at Geogtapa.
where 5000 Assyrians made their last
stand. They had fought for three days
and all their ammunition vas gone
when DR.. Packard unfurled an Ameri.
can flag and advanced between the
lines. His act resulted in saving all
but 200 Of the Assyrians, who had been
burned in a church.
Fifteen thousand Assyrian Chris
tians have taken refuge at the Amer
lean mission, while 1000 are at the
French mission. A recent dispatch
from Uremiah said 70 Turkish regular
troops had entered one OF the mis-
siOns, hanged the orthodox bishop,
Marelia, and four orthodox Clergymen.
Shortly before GO refugees had been
dragged from tho French mission ana
executed In spite OF the fearful pleas
of the nuns.
At Gulpashan, the Kurds were par.
ficularly cruel. This was the last OF
q total Of l05 Assyrian villages to hold
out and 1t was occupied a month ago.
The Kurds ordered all tho Assyrian
males into the streets, tied them In
groups OF five, marched them to the
graveyard and killed them to the last
boy. Girl babies and older women
then were executed, while the younger
women were carried away as slaves.
The missionaries are untiring In
their efforts to help the people and are
spending money freely. The equivalent
OF $500 daily is disbursed. Disease Is

dynamite on your liver.
-.-10 -

Calomel loses you a day! You know what calomel is. It's mercury; i; quicksilver. Calomel is dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calo- mel attacks the bones and should never be put into your system.
 When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your druggist sells for 50 cents large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate.
 Don't take calomel. It makes you sick the next day; it loses you days work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight ems you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.

MANY RAILROADS . BADLY WRECKED

Chicago, Oct 2.-The inclusion of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail- road, which recently went into a receivership, makes the mileage of railways in the United States in the hands of receivers greater than ever before, according to an article to be in the Railway Age Gazette soon
 The statement says:
 "The addition of 3,S65 miles of the Missouri, Kansas and Texas System makes a total of 82 rail s'vays, operating 41,9SS miles of line and with total capitalization fo $2,264, 100000, now being op- erated by receivers. This is more than one-sixth of the railway mile age in the United States and ex- ceeds the total railway mileage of any other country in the world, except European and Asiatic Russia combined.
 "The total par value of securities outstanding of roads being operated by receivers represents about 15 per cent of the total capitalization of the railways of the United States

from chipping. OF the various mate
rails used for this purpose a grout
made of equal portions of Portland &C.
ment and sand mixed with water is
recommended. Sand alone is some
times used because of its cheapness,
but 1t is open to several objections
and it's use in the end is probably not
economical. Portland cement grout,
on the other hand, binds the individ-
ual bricks together and converts the
pavement into what is practically a
monolith. Before the grout is ap-
piled the pavement should be swept
clean and be kept moist by gentle
sprinkling during the application, of
which there should be two. At the
end of the second application the
grout should completely fill the joints
flush with the tops of the joints. The
final step is to cover the completed
pavements with one-inch layer of
fine earth. This is done to protect the
pavement from the weather and to
keep 1t in moist condition while the
grout is hardening.
The objection frequently made to
the grout-flled brick pavement-that
1t is extremely noisy-may be over
come by the proper use of longitudinal
expansion cushions placed alongside
the curb. These expansion cushions
are bituminous layers from one
half to one and one-quarter inches
thick, varying with the width of the
pavement.
In addition to the description of the
various problems the new bulletin
contains in an appendix complete typi-
cal specifications for the construction
of brick road.
