HE U. s. PUBLIC HEALTH
 SERVICE GIVES WARNING

WASHINGTON. AUG 11-T h e United States public health service today declared that the bubbling drinking fountain may be a greater menace to health than the old fash toned tin drinking cup. Unless prop erly constructed and properly used it is likely to increase, rather than le- crease, the spread of eontagion.
 "Every person using the bubbling fountain," says the bulletin of the federal health service, "should bear in mind that the object of this sani- tary device is to prevent the inter- change of mouth secretions. The lips should not touch any part of the fountain.
 eff improperly constructed or im- properly used the bubbling drinking fountain may be greater menace to health than the common drink ing cup.D

THE OLD, OLD
 STORY REVIVED
Won't Anybody Help
 An Unfortunate Prisoner

NEW YORK, Sept. 1S-rhc Span ish Prisoner, that most ancient and honored of successful swindles, has bobbed up again, this time with q tale so heartrending that the English language fairly cries out for mercy in the telling of it. He is no longer |, mere unfortmate-and very rich Don, writing from his prison death bed to tell you of the secret of his great wealth and of his darling daughter and of the good priest who is will ling to help ship the daughter right off to America as soon as you sup ply the necessary cost of transpor- tation in return for yonr share of that hidden fortune, one-forth of which shall he yours as the darling daught- r's guardian.
 The poor prisoner $ predicament is about the same, however, as it was twenty-five years ago, when he first began relieving tender-hearted and avarieious souls here of cash for darl. ing daughter departure, but he has landed in prison this time by new route. He is war vietin--a poor, unfortunate neutral, whose desire to swing Spain to the Allies has got him oil 4n rIol in, ho ,trn1t ,,nlttilr
 It has been some years since ht last took his pen in hand. The ar rest in 1912 of a gang of swindlerf in Bilbao delt rather severe blow to the Spanish Prisoner business. Al, so official warnings from the Depart ment of State at Washington put Americans more or less on theil guard.

 Open Says II. E. Nolan

On his arrival in seattle the other day, II. E, Nolan, who passed through here early last spring on his way to Matanuska, and who claimed at the time to have served two months in the French army last fall, reported his experience at Matanuska in the following:
 ''I am glad that I lived in Mat anuska, as I saw town that I did not believe could exist in these days. We had a real frontier town-open gambling, blind pigs, with their eyes wide open and looking for customers, and 1 even had the pleasure of at tending an old-fashioned miner g meeting, which gave notice to an undesirable individual to get out of town within few minutes One other person who was declared a menace to the prosperity and business life of the city. \ miners meeting was held on this case and the of fender was ordered to move to the outskirts. The order was not com. piled with, and the miners picked np the house, occupant and all, and moved the whole concern bodily.''

London, Sept. 1s-Hostile feeling of Greece toward Turkey has been intensified by news that Turks m territory where there are Greek set dement's have been scizing Greek girls and imprisoning them in their haren,s, Hundreds of young and pretty girls are reported to be victims of tho Turks. These reports arc proving an aid to the war party in Greece. which is insisting that the country join fhc Allies.
 Chief interest in the attitude of the Balkan States toward the war eenters in Bulgaria. It is said that Bulgaria has determined to remain neutral until rights taken from her in the last Balkan war are restored. Negotiations are being conducted be- tween the Rumanian, Greek and Serbian governments for m agree ment with Bulgaria on the war ques- ton.
 However, it is known that Bulgaria has been also negotiating with Tur- key. According to late advices the atrocities now committed in Turkey surpass anything ever seen in the palmiest days of Sultan Abdul, the arch assassin. They include torture of the most revolting kind, murder by wholesale and method of depor- tation that separates families and sends large numbers of the victims fo inevitable death. Tn one pros porous city twelve of the leading Armenian men were taken out upon the road under pretense of deportation and shot.
