Thousands Of German Nurses.

"The nurses of the German Red
Cross are divided into three classes .
says recent bulletin of the American
Red Cross, "the first being the Red
Cross Sisters, who for years have car
ried on the profession Of nursing. Sec
ond class, the volunteer auxiliary sis
.ters, who undergo one-half years
training pass an examination, and who
are called out from time to time to take
part in repetitive courses and practical
service in military hospitals. The
third class comprises the volunteer
helpers Of the Red Cross. They are
employed only in the home military
hospitals, and even then only under
the supervision Of trained nurses.
"Over so per cent of the Red Cross
nurses, about $500 in all, are now on
the battlefield or in the field, war and
base hospitals. The remainder are at
home, not only nursing sick and
wounded soldiers, but also men, won.
en- and children Of the civil popula.

Municipal Control.

The great difficulty with municipal
control of public utilities does not lie
In graft and in political evils of that
character, as so often stated, but lies
in the shifting responsibility Of chang.
ing administration, SO likely to change
the policy Of the plant and to upset
smooth running. In other words, it
lies in getting business administra-
tton for the plant which to be success
full must be run in businesslike way.
Politics should not have anything to
do with the operation of the plant, yet
politics is bound to, If it be munich
pal plant. Even city water depart
ments today are not on good busi-
ness basis and they have long been
under political control, and are far
less difficult to handle. Until we have
business form of government we
cannot hope to have successful munich
pal plants-that is, as successful as
they should be, for many such plants
are fairly successful now.

No Doubt That ResinoI
Does Heal Sick Skin

When you know physicians have
prescribed Resinol for 20 years in the
treatment of eczema and other itching
burning, unsightly skin eruptions, and
have written thousands of reports say.
ing: 1T is my regular prescription for
itching" "Resinol has produced bril-
liant results 'The result it gave was
marvellous in one of the worst cases OF
eczema" etc., etc., doesn't it make you
feel that this is the treatment can
rely on for MY skin-trouble?"
The moment Resinol Ointment
touches itching skins, the itching
stops and healing begins. With the
aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always
clears away every trace of eczema
ringworm, pimples, or other distress
ing eruption quickly, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Sold by all drug
gists. (Adv)

FINDS A PETRIFIED FOOT
Believed to Be From Body Of White
Man Killed by Indians Years
Ago.

Wichita, William Loteman,
who is travelling in a covered wagon,
has part of what he asserts is the
petrif1ed body of a man. It was found
one year ago on the banks Of the
Vel digris river, in Wagner county,
Okla, he states. John Hall, farmer
residing near the river, discovered the
object where the waves had washed
the earth away from it, and he took
it home, throwing it into his barn.
II camped there shortly afterward
and l asked him for the foot, which
was broken off," said Loteman. "He
told me to take all of the body there
was there. The head and shoulders
are missing, but the body from the
waist down is in my possession. It is
believed that it is the body Of white
man who was killed by the Indians
years ago."

Washinu ShaWIs.

To wash knl, ted or crocheted shawls,
fold them as fiat as possible and lay
carefully in pillow case, run through
at intervals with basting thread to
keep fiat. Then they should be han
died like other flannel or woolen
goods, says the Dallas News. If
washed separately, observe the usual
precautions for woolen goods, gently
squeezing through the hands and keep
ing the suds and rinsing water of the
same lukewarm temperature. Take
out Of pillow case, but do not hang
knitted goods up to dry. Put in the
oven on big platter, shaking and
turning occasionally, or lay on clean
cloth in the sunshine.

A Bird Mystery.

One of the most curious and inter.
esting Of the unsolved problems relat
ing to bird migration, according to
Mr.. w. w. Cookies recent memoir on
this subject, Is connected with the
chimney swift. more often called the
chimney swallow" a very common
and well-known bird of the eastern
United States. After the breeding sea
son the locks drift slowly south and
concentrate In vast numbers on the
northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico
Then they disappear as completely
as If they hibernated under the water
or in the mud, according to the ole
belief regarding birds in general. The
last week Of March they appear again
on the gulf coast. Their hiding place
during the intervening FIVE months.
said Mr.. Cooke, ''is still the swift's
secret" (Chapman's Handbook says
they winter In Central America.)

Afraid TO Be Poor.

Prof. William James, who succeeded

writes: I'VE have grown literally
afraid to be poor. We despise anyone
who elects to be poor in order to sim.

lost the power Of even imagining what
the ancient idealization of poverty
could have meant-the liberation from
material attachments, the unbribed

A Prayer

Lea me have a good sense Of proper
ton. Let me live more in today, in
stead of living so greatly in the past
and counting SO largely upon the fu
ture. Teach me to realize that regrets
over the past will get me nothing
while too great preparations for the
future many find me in my grave and
unable to cash in on the climax. Teach
me to realize that the man who spends
all his earnings is simply and solely an
asset to his relatives. Enable me to
get into the cheerful frame Of mind
where today always looks fair and
bright, where all the disagreeable
things in the past are forgotten and
where the future does not assume a
vastly overrated Importance in the

When We Work Best.

Autumn and spring are the best sea-

At very low temperature both men,

Mental work reaches its highest EN-

while physical work reaches its maxi
mum at SO degrees for men and 60 de-

distinctly good for us and promote our

QUAINT OLD STEAMBOAT
TURKISH CAPITAL PLACE OF IN.
TEREST TO THE TOURIST.
Quarters Allotted to Foreigners Are
Pera and Galata-Three Sundays
Celebrated During Week.
Method Of Telling Time.

Constantinople, or Stamboul, as the
Turk calls his metropolis, is much
discussed city just now. But Of its
important foreign quarters. Pera and
Galata, the stay-at-home Briton hears
little.
Galata is separated from CONSTANT
nople proper by the Golden Horn, and
lies principally between the two
bridges which span that world-famous
waterway.
Formerly these bridges had cap
tains and crews exactly as If they
were ships. Later they became re-
markable for their shops, beggars
and dogs. Shops, beggars and dogs
have gone, but still the bridges are
objects of intense interest to the
stranger.
In Galata may be found sort OF
Petticoat lane in full swing every day
of the week. But, unlike Sunday mar.
ket in the East end of London, the
avenue is shifted each morning. For
example, the indescribable bargain
ing and din is to be found on Thurs
days at Pershembeh, which means
the Thursday market.
Dealers in secondhand clothing
have a more or less permanent rem.
devious at the Bit bazaar or Louise
market-an appellation more apt than
delicate.
Pera, which is modern Greek for
beyond" stands on the hills behind
Galata, which in double sense II
looks down on, considering itself the
superior suburb. Both are despised
by the real Turk, who, if he wishes to
tell you that another Turk has gone
hopelessly to the bad, will say che
has gone to Pera," or, more correctly
ITO Bey Olou," for the Turk refuses to
recognize the Christian designation OF
either Constantinople or its suburbs
A stranger stranded at Pera might
possibly go hungry; but it would be
his own fault If he thirsted. Elabor
ate drinking fountains are in nearly
every street.
There is a superabundance Of post
off1ces-but no postmen! No letters
are delivered. Each European power
has-or had-its own post office
Thus, one calls at the English estab
lishment if expecting letters from
home, at the French if correspondence
is likely to arrive from Paris, and
so on.
Three Sundays week are observed
in both suburbs Friday by the Turks
Saturday by the Jews, and Sunday by
the Christians. And three distinct
calendars are used. This year the
Mohammedan is dating his letters
1888, the Jew 5675, and the Christian
of course, 1915.
But the inconvenience of using three
different calendars is slight compared
with the bewildering method mostly
used in computing the hours Of the
day. A watch which kept correct
time on the shores of the Golden
Horn would be, somewhat paradoxical
| ly, rather an erratic timekeeper, &C
cording to the standard laid down by
Greenwich For, as twelve o'clock is
reckoned always to fall at the exact
moment Of sunset, ones watch has to
gain or lose few minutes each day
| according to the season of the year.
