MRS. LEILA COOK GREEN.
Former West Brattleboro Resident Died
Suddenly in Wilmington.

Leila Edna Cook Green, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs f. r. Cook, died sudden
ly Friday evening, aged 33 years. Mrs.
Green retired in apparently good health
but shortly after Q O'Clock her parents,
alarmed by sounds from her room, en-
tered and found her in an unconscious
condition. Shortly afterward hemor
rhage of the brain set in, death soon
following. Mrs. Green, who had lived
in Wilmington for some years, was born
in West Dover in 1882. Previous to
coming here she resided in West Brat
tleboro, where she became a member of
the Baptist church, afterward uniting
with the church here. The funeral was
held from the Baptist church Monday af-
ternoon, Rev. j. Wesley Rafter officiat-

wreath from the members of the
church and cut flowers from the Near
and Farther Lights of West Brattle-
boro, testifying to the esteem in which
the deceased was held.-Deerfeld Val

BIG FIRE IN BALTIMORE.
Government Warehouse and Piers
Burned-Loss Over S45O,00O.

BALTIMORE, Oct %. - The gov
ernment warehouse and Piers 81 and
50 of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad at
Locust Point were totally destroyed by
fire last night. Records were destroyed
and estimates of the value of the con-
tents of the warehouse varied between
100000 and 100000. The building
and piers were valued at $150,000.
BY hard work the firemen kept the
flames from two grain elevators, 200
feet away, which contained 100000
bushels of grain. Most of the contents
of the warehouse had come recently
from London and Liverpool.
The fire is thought to have started
from crossed wires in the warehouse.

ANIMAL CHARCOAL
ABSORBS BACTERIA
Antidote for Cholera, Typhus and 9th
er Toxins in Alimentary Canal,
German Scientists Find.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-Behind the
curtain of war, German science has
made discoveries in medicine in the
benefits of which the civilized world
will share. The new line of work has
been done by German chemists in the
use OF animal charcoal for medical pur-
poses. 1t has been learned bv practical
cal experiments that this substance
which has been used to remove color
ing matter from chemical solutions. will
absorb and remove not only poisons
from the intestinal canal. but the bac-
terra Of typhus fever and cholera. The
polsons can be neutraliZed within n
very short time, and all poisonous sub
stances IN the alimentary canal can be
removed by absorption. The action of
the animal charcoal extends to the bac-
terra themselves, which it mechanically
absorbs and destroys.
Consul Talbot J. Albert at Bruins
wick, In 4 report to the department of
commerce, mentions as deserving credit
for the discovery the chemists Freund-
Itch, Lichtwitz, Glassner and Suida
He says they have proved that the alb
sOrbing quality of animal charcoal is
promoted by the presence of the phos-
pilates, sulphates, and nitrates of cal
cium, sodium and potassium. The ra-
Pidity of the absorption increases with
the temperature, so that the heat of
the animal body aids the therapeutic
effect of the animal charcoal
The application of animal charcoal
extends chiefly to cases where the poi
son is conveyed to the organism from
the outside, and where it arises from
bacteria in the intestinal canal in the
natural course of living. Cholera was
the first disease to be considered; e;
then came typhus and dysentery, when
1t was possible to exclude the injurious
microbes from the system. As the
charcoal becomes infected with the bac-
terra, or with the poisons which it alb
serbs, such aperients as Glauber salts,
karlsbad salts etc, are used.
1t also appears that animal charcoal
is applicable in surgery, as it will stop
suppuration, which destroys the tissues.

Armies of Austria, Germany
and Bulgaria Are
Progressing
CAMPAIGNS FIRST
PHASE COMPLETED
With Joining of Invading Forces in
Northeast Entente Allies Claim I'M
provemcnt of Situation in Southern
Serbia.

The latest statement made by the Aus,
tro-Gcrman war Office reports a continual
tion oi the furious attacks on the Austrian
positions by the Italians. Several Of
these attacks already have failed, it is as
serted. while AustrO-German forces from
the north and Bulgarian armies from the
east are steadily pressing in on the Ser
bians.
The situation in South Serbia is report
ed as improved from the viewpoint of the
entente allies The French operations in
the southern sector of the Serbian front
have been carried on so successfully that
the fall of Strumitsa in Bulgaria is immi-
nent. Heights dominating the town have
been occupied by the French.
Adviccs through Paris are to the effect
that the French and Serbians are now on
the offensive northward along the rail
road to Nish and are marching on to
lstip In the north although the Austro-
German advance is declared to have been
retarded by bad roads, progress all along
the front is reported in the current state
ment from Vienna.
On the front in France Paris reports a
continuation of the vigorous artillery com
bats in the Champagne region. notably
near Cahure, and violent fighting with
bombs and grenades to the north of the
Aisne. The total British casualties up to
Oct. 9th, it is announced today, have
reached 493,2 ,294.
The first phase of the Austro-German-
Bulgarian campaign in Serbia is compet-
ed. Not only have the invaders of Serbia
realized the important objective of join
ing hands in the northeastern corner of
this country but they have enhanced this
military advantage by procuring free pas
sage down the Danube.
The Serbians have been driven over
the border from Visegrad in Bosnia and
other advances have been scored by
the Teutonic and Bulgarian force en-
gagged in the Serbian invasion. The
Bulgarians are pursuing the retreatine
Serbians along the eastern front.
The German war Office reports con
ditions unchanged in the east, nc
further progress of the attack or
Dvinsk or Riga having been recorded
Categorical denial is given by the
Greek legation in London under in
structions from Premier Zaimis, to re
