Sisters of Charity as Operating
Nurses

In the December issue of the Wom-
ans Home Companion is the following
description of sister of charity who
has become an operating nurse. Her
work is typical of what women Of vari-
Gus religious orders are doing in Europe:
'In the middle Of the ward, behind
the long row of cots on the right, low
door opens into Sister Gabrielle's office.
The elothes-h hanger shows the only
thought of herself which has place in
Sister Gabrielle's mind, a spotess white
blouse which she slips hastily over her
blue Sister of Charity uniform for the
operating room. In the midst OF
all these things Supplies for the wound
ed Sister Gabrielle's young face be-
tween the wings Of her white headdress
is like an angelic vision, ready to re-
turn again to Heaven. 1t is in this
room that she stops to take her breath
at the foot of her crucitix, when the days

+ FIRE PUT OUT
Steamer Tyninghame Back

SECOND BLAZE

British Steamer Loses Tween
ty Thousand Bags
of Sugar

New York, Dec. 3D. Fire which caused
the British steamer Tyninghame to put
back soon after having sailed from New
York with large cargo of sugar con
signed to the British government, was
extinguished late Saturday by fire.
boat. Representatives of Bowring & Co.,
the vessels agents, said that 10000 bags
of sugar in No. 4 hold have been de-
stroyed, but they made no estimate Of
the financial loss.
Members of the bomb squad of the
New York police department boarded
and searched the Tyninghame after she
anchored off the statue of Liberty The
result of the search was not made known
and the steamers agents declined to ex-
press an opinion as to the origin of the
fire. On Dec. 5, while the freighter was
being loaded with her present cargo at
Erie basin, fire was discovered in the
same hold that was burned last week.
At that time the cause of the fire was
given as unknown, but fragments were
found of bottle which it was believed
might have contained chemical which
caused an explosion.
The fireboat remained alongside of the
Tyninghame for number of hours as a
precautionary measure. The freighter
remained at anchorage until to-day,
when she was locked, the burned hold
cleaned out and an effort made to repair
the damage without unloading the cargo,
which originally consisted of 1855 bags
and l,574 barrels OF sugar The Tyning-
hame is the latest of number of sugar
vessels sailing from New York on which
fires of mysterious origin have been dis
covered.

Diversified Farming and Seed.
To the Farmars;

To the Farmars;
 The low price of cotton has made it necessary to plant less cotton. Of course, you are going to plant something else instead. This will bring up question of seed, and now is time to consider the matter. If you do not get the seed in time you can not plant other crops than cotton and corn. You are going to have to look to the merchant to get the seed for you or club together and get the seed yourselves. Now is the time to settle the matter and order the seed. If you wait too long, the seed will be hard to get and high priced. Let me urge you to all go to town next Saturday, the 16th, and get together in a meet ing and discuss the matter and see what seed you will need. and take steps to get them Go to see the merchants and ask them to help you.
 To the Merchants:
 Let me urge you to call meet. ing in your town on Saturday,. the 18th, to discuss the sed question, to ascertain from the farmer what amount and kind of seed will be needed, and make such arrangements as is necessary to get them. There is no time to waste. If we are to have diversified farming in Ark we must all get busy. This is important. Please act at once,
