This is but one Of the signs of the
appalling restitution which has already
come upon many of the inhabitants.
Atcual hunger is a daily guest in
thousands of homes; in other thou
sands it stands at the door. If the
coming winter sees the war still going
on, there will be misery and want in

payments to the needy, but they are
only a drop to the bucket amounting
to from 81 to $3.50 a week for family.
Provisions are very dear. and other
necessaries of life have increased
greatly in cost. To have a pair Of
shoes half soled. for instance, costs
$3.50. 1t used to cost SIPS.

Here-and the same thing is even

the great number of young girls. some

FORCING THE

ASSOCIATED PreSS correspondence
London, Sept. 27.-The hope that the
forcing Of the Dardanelles might be
accomplished by the middle Of Octo-
Der, when the weather and the tides
are likely to become more formidable,
has been often discussed wherever
British officers meet. Not that there
will be any diminution Of effort after
that time, but there is a full realization
that conditions will then become far
less favorable.

Marmora vicinity for 80 years. making

hitting that the winter is not SO

describes what sort Of weather may be
expected and gives these general OBJ

new DISINFECTANT
FOUND BY U. S. PUB
Lie HEALTH SERVICE

AS a result Of experiments conducted
at the Hygienic Laboratory Of the
United States Public Health Service
it is announced that a new disinfec-
tant, possessing qualities superior to
ordinary disinfectants, has recently
been discovered. The announcement
is particularly important at this time,
coming as II does in the face Of the
shortage in coal tar derivatives which
has resulted from the European con-
fiict.
The new preparation is derived from
pine oil, a by-product in the manu-
facture Of turpentine. 1t is easily
prepared by mixing certain proper
lions Of the oil with rosin and sodium
hydroxide solution, the finished pro-
duct being a reddish brown liquid,
rather thick and oily in appearance
but free from turbidity. With water
it makes a perfectly white emulsion.
much resembling milk. 1t has pleas
ing odor, no Objectionable taste, and
attacks neither fabrics nor metals. 1t
possesses over four times the disin-
fectant properties of carbolic acid and
is altogether nontoxic, SO that it may
safely be used as throat spray or
mouth wash in solutions of the ordi-
nary strength. The cost of the prep
aration is remarkably low. as it can
be manufactured for less than so cents
gallon, solely from products which
are produced in this country.
Many of the disinfectants now on
the market are neither efficient nor
economical, it having been demonstrate
ed that a number Of the most ex-
pensive and widely advertised are ex-
tremely weak in disinfecting power, SO
much SO that their strength is unde-
terminable by ordinary methods. The
sale Of compounds of this nature con-
stitutes a fraud. A second class of
proprietary preparations are Of guar
anteed strength, thus putting a legal
responsibility upon the manufacturer,
but the cost of these per unit of dis
injecting power is frequently excess
sive. The householder is therefore Of
ten at loss to select a disinfectant
which is efficient, economical and of
constant strength and it is believed
that this new compound, which is to be
known as "Hygienic Laboratory Pine
oil Disinfectant," will become one of
the most useful preparations Of that
character.

In which case, of course, the search

In view Of the fact that some anx-

best at this time that the Journal give
out the real names Of the so-called

Great anxiety is aroused by the
silence Of the Blank family from
which no word has been received in 4s

made with the Journal reporter the

1t has been suggested by wood.wise
persons that the senior Blank may
have failed to write because Of a
dearth of birch bark. He has gone, it
is understood, into a black evergreen
wood in which there was just one
birch tree and almost enough bark to
clothe an ordinary birch has been
sent out bearing messages. Mrs.
Blank has doubtless used some to

bered that the senior Blank recently
wrote that he had used a quantity in

MORE ENCOURAGEMENT FOR THE Ma
TIONAL GUARD.

Another evidence of the interest of the war
department. in the National Guard of Hawaii
is the detailing of Capt. Charles S. Lincoln,
End Infantry, U. S. A., as senior inspector
Instructor of the Hawaiian militia. He will be
commissioned colonel of the guard and will
give his time to the territorial citizen soldiery.
The plan should be extremely beneficial.
The militia has been greatly helped by the adj
vice, assistance and encouragement of these
regular army officers detailed for territorial
work. Lieut.. A. l.. Bump it was who some
years ago helped give the guard great for

Capt. lincoln is declared by his colleagues
to be one of the ablest officers in the army.
He is a graduate of both the army school of
the line and the army staff class, and was an
Instructor of the army War College. He is a
veteran of the md Infantry, having been with
this command thirteen and one-half years,

Dispatches last Saturday told of the ire

Employed in necessary work, that is to say,
necessary from the government point of view,
such as the manufacture of arms, munitions
and war supplies, was marked with star.
Every remaining man, that is to say, every I'M
starred man of military age, between the ages
of Is and As, had his name inscribed on a cou-
bic of cards, the one white and the other blue,
and on which various data concerning him
we're given. The white card was retained by
the general recruiting office and the blue card
was confided to the recruiting committee for
the district These committees, whose work is
purely voluntary, have made canvass of the
rnstarred men in their district and by appeal
ing to their patriotism have been able to induce
most of them-tb sign the cards, in which they
agree to hold themselves in readiness for SER
vice when called for.
The men thus enlisted are divided into forty
Nix groups, twenty three for the unmarried
and twenty three for the married, the groups
being graded according toSage, fitness and OBJ
vious requirements of justice. That is to say,

on him, would be called upon to serve before

was Lee Yo Keuk" and that he had
used the name of Lee frequently. He

the blood-stained handkerchief, tore it
