MODERN SHELLS
 OPEN GRAVES
SLEEP OF CENTURIES BROKEN IN ANCIENT GALLIPOLI
 TOMBS.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-Even the dark silent past fails to escape the ravages of war on Gallipoli peninsula, writes French surgeon to his English wife, describing shell-havoc on the ancient sarcophagi within sight of Achi Baba. He said:
 "A huge "2lO" shell has just fal- len in front of sepuichrc, shut twenty centuries ago. The stone door burst open, revealing a room in which one could live, constructed with great regularity and lined with perfectly cut stones. Only a few bones were inside and they turned to dust.
 While digging close by, two en- ormous earthen jars were found. They had been set side by side. One is broken and the other intact. In each jar is a skull and the remnants of skeleton. Man and wife! They have slept together for twenty cen turies. What proclamation; what crime to have interrupted a design which promised to be immortal"
 A subsequent letter, received with the first, adds;
 The brayest man in the who'll regi- ment, Adjutant G was killed this morning. He was watching the Turk ish soldiers, in their trenches, through his field glasses, at a loophoIe ia the first line. They were only 100 metres away. A bullet passed through the Ioopholc killing him instantly. It was he who was decorated ou June { by General Gourand Tor haFihg hiII- ed six Turks with his own hand and capturing a machine gun.

The regiment was too much occupied and too far away. So asked for volunteers close by. Men came from the kitchens, from the machine gun section and from the artillery. Their uniforms were dirty, their guns rusty. A sergeant of the Territorials gave the tradition al commands. The little ceremony was not badly done"

TO BREAK LIP-BITING HABIT
Distressing Form of Nervousness Need
Not Prove Too Hard to
Overcome.

The other day friend said to me:
Have you ever noticed how many
women bite their lips?" l had to con-
fess that ! hadn't the slightest idea
OF the number, but that | would go on
an observation tour the next time |
came in contact with roomful of
women. The opportunity presented
itself few days later, and | went
about among them trying to discover
those who had contracted the habit.
About 40 per cent showed this form
OF nervousness, which is scarcely less
disfguring than biting the nails, and
far more difficulty to cure.
The skin of the lips is so delicate
and thin that the slightest change In
temperature will cause it to dry and
break, and the irritation of this sur
face roughness seems to lend an IRE
sistible impulse to the teeth.
Very soon this slight abrasion be.
comes raw and sore, and in winter is
particularly difficult to heal. If your
lips are in this condition would first
apply spirits of camphor, which is an
astringent, and natural protection.
Over this place a coating of vase1ine,
which will allay the Inflammation and
help heal the skin.
To cure the Hp-biting habit 1t is
sometimes necessary to resort to the
same methods that are used to break
the habit of biting the nails. II you
have the courage to apply coating
of aloes to the outer edge of the lips
it will serve to remind you the next
time you start biting them.-Pitts.
