London. Aug. 14.-There is an omi-

the D%ardanelles. and on the Gallipoli
peninsula, where the Anglo-French
forces, greatly reinforced. are renew
ing their efforts to break down Tur-
their Russian ally from that quarter.

of Turkish defeat is at and The Rus
slams are coming down from the north
and nave inflicted a heavy defeat upon
the remaining Turkish forces in the
trans-Caucausus region.
An evidence of the dire need of Tur-
key for munitions Is seen In the re-
newed German efforts to persuade Ru-
mania to allow the shipment of sup
plies through Rumanian territory.
The improved rate of Russian eX-
change on the London markee also Is
attributed to the optimism with which
the new anti-Turk offensive is re-
garded.
London today is more hopeful than
yer that the allies will be success
full in their negotiations with the Bal
kan states. 1t is intimated that the
negotiations are being arranged to
grant Bulgaria the concessions she de-
mands. Serbia and Greece are hold
ing out in their refusal to cede terri
tory in Macedonia. but it is believed
their objections ultimately will be over
come.

ENTENTE POWERS HOPEFUL
OF SECURING BALKAN All

London, Aug. 13.-The Balkan capt.
tails are showing the liveliest interest in
the reports that the Germans are pre-
pairing to launch a campaign against
Serbia, according to special dispatches
from Bucharest, Sofia and Athens,
printed in this mornings newspapers.
Several of, the correspondents declare
that the proposed German offensive
against Serbia would be a blessing in
Disguise" because 1t probably would
bring about a urior of the Balkan
states.
The editorials in the newspapers this
morning express the belief that the
Balkan situation is hopeful for the
q%uadruple entente powers. The general
impression conveyed by the editorials
is that Serbia would be successfully
pressed to yield to the Balkan demands.
and that the diplomats of the entente
powers are apparently now engaged in
trying to arrange a suitable compensa-
ton for Serbia.
The assertion is made that If the al
lies win. Serbia will probably be given
the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina,
with an outlet to the Adriatic n an
indirect outlet through Croatia to
Fiune. This. it is declared, will repre-
sent at least 10 times the value OF the
concessions which she is asked to make
to Bulgaria.

THE DOCTORS PATIENT
= = = . =
BY H. M. Egbert
Copyright by w. G. Chapman.)
When Aunty Sally, the black serV-
ant, admitted a tiny boy into DR.. Car
ter's Office, the old physician at first
saw nobody. Then, looking down he
saw the dark hair and sunny eyes OF
his own hayward boy, Harold, as he
had been at six, and as he always
would be in his memory. For Of Har-
old Carter at twenty he never con-
scented to think.
Hello! What's your name, SON
n.y." he asked.
Harold, please grandfather"
What" cried the doctor, jumping
out of his chair
He had destined his son for his
own profession, but folly had sue
ceeded folly, and at last there had
been a scene at the end of which the
doctor had ordered, his son from his
presence, never to enter it again.
Harold had complied-twelve years
ago.
Perhaps if his wife had been living
the old mans heart would have yield
ed in the end. Indeed, it had sofUened
and often and often he had deplored
he loss of his only child. But his
professional cares absorbed all his
time and left him little for mourning.
He was the best loved doctor in a
southern city and the most sought
after.
Now and again, intervals of
years he had had news of Harold.
He knew that, after roaming in the
west, he had returned to dwell in an
obscure part of the same town. He
had heard that he had a position with
a manufacturing company and was
atoning for the wildness of his early
+ years. But the old man was too
proud to seek him, and his son was

Washing Gloves.

The secret of success in washing
channels and doeskin gloves lies in
using lukewarm or cool water-bet-
ter cool than even few degrees too
warm.
That, at least, is one of the Sc
crets. The other Is to use soapy wa
ter. The soapier the water, provid-
ing it is of the right temperature,
the silkier and softer the gloves will
be. They should first be freed from
all dirt in soapy bath, and then put
Through another soapy bath in order
that they may be rinsed from the
dirt set free. They should then be
pressed and squeezed in thick towel
until they are free from soap and
water as nearly as possible. Then
they are ready to be hung to dry IN
a cool, dry place. Never hang them
near fire, and never hang them III

The discovery of half carat dia
mond in the false bottom of a gas
stove Saturday solved the mystery
of the disappearance of the stone
which was lost from a ring fifteen
months ago in Oelwein by Mrs. E. H.
Perry, who lives on Stilson street at
Mason City. The stone was found
by Mrs. Perry in the small chamber
beneath the oven, where it had re-
manned for nearly a year and a half,
and during which time it had been
removed in freight car from Gel
vein to Mason City.
Mrs. Perry formerly lived in Del
vein and while working near the gas
stove discovered that the jewel had
disappeared from the mounting.
Since that time she has made a per-
sistent search in the hopes of finding
the diamond, and up until Saturday
morning no trace of the missing
stone had been found.
The small compartment beneath
the oven was removed by Mrs. Per-
ry and the stone which had disap-
peared fifteen months ago was found.
During that time the stove with 9th

covered that by the simple expedient
of digging up cump of rhubarb and

than an occasional watering he could

DRS. MAYO GIVE MILLION.
Rochester Surgeons Plan Medical
Foundation at Disposal of
Students.

|
William J. and Charles II. Mayo
| of Rochester, world-famous sur.
geons, purpose to establish 81, 000,-
| 600 foundation for medical research
and to place the foundation under
certain restrictions, in the hands OF
the University of Minnesota board OF
regents.
The fund will be furnished by the
Mayo brothers from their private
means. The yearly income is expect
ed to amount to about 100000.
1t is intended that the interest from
the fund be used in research work al
Rochester, open to graduate unver-
sity medical students. For years the
Drs. Mayo have conducted a sur
geons' clinic at Rochester.
The surgeons now plan to put the
work on an official basis, make pro-
ision for graduate instruction at
Rochester, which will lead to an ad-
ditional degree by the university.
At meeting of the medical col
lege faculty the plan was approved
by a vote of 80 to rs. This action
will go to the medical college advis-
DRY board, and, it is believed GER
tain, will be approved.
Faculty members who opposed the
plan said today they would take the
case to the university general alumni
association.
The Mayo foundation will correl-
ate with the graduate school in medi-
cine and the school and the founda-
ton each will have full access to all
the failities of the other.
Instructors would be employed by
the faculty and stationed at Roches-
ter. The graduate student would
probably take a part of his advance
course at Rochester and part in the
Twin Cities.
This offer, if accepted, will put
Minnesota to the very front in this
country in the manner of medical
education said Dean +. p. Lyon of
the school of medicine at the univer-
sity.
