house of Professor Archenho1d, the
director of the Treptow observatory,
near Berlin. His wife has organized
cinema lectures in one of the halls of
the building for wounded soldiers, for
the women and children of the neigh
borhood, and especially for the ref
ugees from East Prussia.
The particular quarter in which the
observatory stands has large Social
list element, and the frau professor
fraternizes with them many hours a
day. I met some of the women and
talked to them. One of them said to
me:
Il have had a letter from my hus-
band lin France) telling me not to
send him so many things, as they are
well taken care of. Every two weeks
he sends me some of his pay, and l
am happy to say that I can now write
back to him in the same way, telling
him that he need not send US any
money, as people here are taking such
splendid care of u.s."
Frau Professor Archenhold i'm
presses it upon them that they should
write nothing but cheerful, pleasant
letters to their husbands in the field,
and not bother them with tiresome de-
tails of difficulties at home. Whether
such lectures or advice are inspired
from higher up l cannot say, but I
know that many of the better class
women talk to the working classes in
that strain.

Generals Honor Artist,

The French painter Hofbauer, who
abandoned a commission to paint
Richmond war pictures to join the
French army at the outbreak of the
war, was recently summoned from
the trenches near scissors to local
headquarters Though only private,
he was received respectfully by five
generals, who explained that he was
among the painters selected to make
battle pictures along the front for the
future glory of France.
Hoffbauer made a brief trip to Paris
fo- materials and then went to
Reims, whence he is to visit interest
ing points.
When he expressed surprise at the
honor accorded him by the generals,
one of them replied: Even in war
time France still is the motherland of
art"
The Franco-American sculptor, Fran
co.'s M. L. Torretti, who is well
known in New York, where he has a
studio, and his wife, who is also a
sculptor, have recently been permit
ted to visit the ambulance directed
by Dr. Alexis Carroll at Compiegne to
make series of anatomical drawings
of the seriously wounded for present
alton to the medical museums for the
benefit of future research.

John's Fate.

A school teacher who was about to
be married visited an old friend, and
naturally the coming event was the
topic of much of the conversation. The
young woman, whose plans were not
yet made public, thought it wise to
pledge the little four-year-old daughter
of the house to secrecy. Accordingly
she called little Ethel to her, told her
that soon she and John were to be
married, and asked her to promise that
she would keep the secret.
Little Ethel went back to her play,
while her mother and the teacher re-
sumed their conversation.
Some ten minutes later Ethel re-
turned, and whispered with great eau
ton, Miss Brown, does John know
anything about it?"-Youth's Com
panion.

plentifully supplied with food. More
over, the number of prisoners is being
augmented daily, whereas there is
small opportunity for replenishing the
food supply. before the harvest sea-
son.
The greatest danger in prison camps
is the spread of contagious diseases.
For this reason the Austrian govern
ment has provided a large force of
physicians for each camp, and every
prisoner has been vaccinated against
cholera and typhoid fever.
One of the newest prison camps is
that near Linz, in upper Austria, lit
miles west of Vienna. Work on this
camp was begun late in February,
after victories in the Carpathians
filled the hands of the Austrians with
Russian prisoners.
1t is composed of 400 wooden
houses in regular rows, with the
streets lighted by electric arc lamps.
1t was found much cheaper TO provide
electric light than petroleum lamps,
with which the camps were equipped
at first. These houses were built by
Austrian carpenters, more than 1000
being employed to complete them
in haste.

INSOMNIA
Leads to Madness, if Not Remedied.

Experiments satisfied me, some
years ago." writes a Topeka woman,
that coffee was the direct cause Of the
insomnia from which 1 suffered ter
ribly, as well as extreme nervousness
and acute dyspepsia.
II had been coffee drinkeE since
childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all
this harm. But it was, and the time
came when had to face the fact, and
protect myself. / therefore gave up
coffee abruptly and absolutely, and
adopted Postum for my hot drink at
meals.
Il began to note improvement in
my condition very soon after l took
on Postum. The change proceeded
gradually, but surely, and it was
matter of only few weeks before
found myself entirely relieVed-the
nervousness passed away, my diges-
tive apparatus was restored to normal
efficiency, and began to sleep rest
fully and peacefully.
these happy conditions have con-
tlnued during all OF the . years, ana
am safe in saying that l owe them
entirely to Postum, for when I began
to drink it I ceased tc use medicines"

HER "BABY" is NOW PAST 70
Oldest Mother in the
South.

Thibodaux, La-Lafourche Parish is
boasting of the oldest mother in the
South. She is Mrs. Paul Breaux, one
hundred and ten years old. She has
children, grandchildren, great-grand-
children and great-great-grandc
dren. Her descendants in the direct
line are so far estimated at from five
to six generations and exceed 1000,
scattered over the entire state
Her youngest child is in his seven
ties, and one of her children still liv-
ing is more than ninety.
The oldest mother still gets about
her premises unassisted, and while
her eyesight had been bad, it is now
sufficiently good to permit the thread
ing of needle. She finds pleasure in
getting out in her yard and feeding
the chickens and poultry. She was
married when thirteen.

For Acid-Proofine Concrete Pipe.


Patent rights have recently been
awarded in Germany on a process for
rendering concrete pipes acid-proof.
The method consists of coating the in
terror of the tubing with asphalt, a
thing which has previously been at
tempted but not with satisfactory re-
suits for the reason that the material
could not be made to adhere perma-
nently. In the new process a certain
quantity of asphalt is mixed with the
concrete before the pipe is nodded.
When the cast has been made and the
tube dried, the interior is sand-blasted
so that the particles of asphalt imbed-
ded in the concrete are laid bare.
When hot asphalt is subsequently
coated over the inner wall of the pipe
it Immediately combines with the as
phalt particles in the concrete, which
serve to securely anchor it in place.
There has been much demand for tub
ing of this kind in industries in which
large quastities of materials contain
ing acids must be conveyed through
pipe lines.-Popular Mechanics.

Yarn Restores Voice.

Laughter provoked by a funny story
has resulted in restoration of the voice
Of Charles Kateza of Allentown, n. J.,
who had been speechless for two
years. About four years ago Kateza
lost his sight and hearing temporarily
in an accident in an iron foundry.
These functions were restored by
medical treatment, but when he recov-
cred he was without power of speech.
He was undergoing treatment in
Mercer hospital A fellow patient told
him funny story and Kateza INDUCED
in unusually hearty and prolonged
laughter. During the night he dreamed
of the yarn, and his nurse found him
repeating the story in his sleep. Since
then hateza's speech has been nor
nal, and the hospital physicians be-
heye it to be permanently restored.

OILED PIGS CATCH FIRE
Indiana Man Saved From Oversupply
of Roast Pork by Porker's
Bright Idea.

Goshen, Ind.-While William Archer
of near Cromwell was endeavoring to
exterminate lice on his pigs by using
kerosene a lighted torch fell into the
pan of oil There was a flash, and the
next instant a terrified, oil-soaked
porker dashed for the open, mass of
flames. Soon a half dozen hogs were
ablaze All dashed out and circled the
yard couple OF times and, returning
to the pen, set it on fire. One of the
shoats hit upon a bright idea and
dashed for a pool of mud and water.
The e5hers then followed suit and the
farmer was saved from an oversup-
ply Of roast pork
