BRITISH HEMMED in
BY TURKS and ALLIES
Moslem Allies Slay $1,000 and May
Gain Control of Territory Pro-
tecting Suez Canal.

London. Jan. 27.-Another British
army Is hemmed in by the Turks and
their Arab allies. This force of 10000
Is cooped up in a den, at the south
ern entrance of the Red Sea, accord
ing to German advices.
The fate of this army means more
to England than that of Gen. Town
Amara on their retreat from Bagdad,
because 1t means that the British
possession of territory protecting the
Suez Canal route is in peril.
The report of Aden's peril comes
from Berlin and quotes dispatch
from Cairo, under date of December
80 and published in the Cologne Volks
Zeitung. This dispatch states that
the British troops in Southern Arabia
have lost $4,000 killed and 10000
wounded, while the 10000 soldiers left
at Alden are in a dangerous position.
THE British are defending them
selves desperately against the Arabs
and Turks" the dispatch adds. "A
wounded British major declared that
at the beginning of the war the Brit
ish occupied 250,000 square kilometers
(155,00O square miles) in Southern
Arabia and Yemen, but that this had
been lost.
"All the Arab sheiks have transfer
red their allegiance to the Turks and
are now successfully using the arms
given to them by the British to use
against the Ottoman forces"
Alden has been so strongly fortified
by the British that it has been called
the Gibraltar of the East" 1t is
known that Turkish forces have
threatened 1t many times since the
beginning of the war, but this is the
first time the British public has had
any intimation that there was any
weakness there.

Answers to Queries.

Acne: The X-rays is sometimes used
as last resort in chronic, intractabIe
acne. The effect Is to lessen the exces-
sive activity OF the sebaceous glands.
Acne disappears Of its own accord as
maturer years are reached, but In Sc
we're cases leaves behind the indelible
markings resembling smallpox pits that
are, Of course, highly disiguring. Every
measure, both constitutional and local,
should therefore be resorted to, in order
to bring about a cure.
Pleasure Bag: Never squeeze either a
pirnple or blackhead with the finger nails.
For the former use sterilized needle
and medicated gauze; for the latter a lit
tie instrument on sale for ten cents at all
druggists. Always soften the skin be-
fore using either.

JOBS ENOUGH, FOR ONCE

There are at present plenty
of jobs in the United States and
wages are better than they have
been for many years. Pay is
even keeping up with prices,
and perhaps a little more than
keeping up. The number of en-
ployed working men increased
surprisingly, according to gov
eminent statistics. between Feb
ruary, 1915 and February. 1916.
In iron and steel, a basic indust-
ry, the increase was 43 per
cent. The total payrolls have
gone up all the way from 5 per
cent to 80 per cent.
There is proof that the coun-
try has large reserve Of labor
power, which is not entirely
utilized except at the very peak
Of prosperity. In the periodical
slowings-down of business and
industry part Of the reserve has
to be turned adrift. Plans should
even now be made for taking up
the slack when, a year or two
from now, the wheels turn more
sluggishly. This is the time to
tackle the problem of unemploy-
ment. If this were an empire
the emperor would by this time
have appointed an imperial COM
mission on unemployment, with
spectacles, university degrees,
practical business experience,
and as much power as it needed.
Not being an empire, we wait
until it is too late, and then make
frantic and futile efforts to meet
a situation we should have fore
seen. Perhaps the providence
which looks after sparrows and
democraties will in time teach
us how to do better.-San Fran

hydrogen, and rags" have no
place whatever in the treatment
of toy pistol or other powder
wounds. Such maltreatment in
vites the fatal lockjaw.
The injury, though only a
puncture or bruise, should be
treated Immediately by the doc
tor. It is a scientific fact that
the less bleeding and more trif-
ling the wound the better the
opportunity for infection with
tetanus germs, and hence
scratches, slight burns and skin
abrasions require prompt surgi-
cal attention.
For home treatment, while
awaiting the doctor, not as a
substitute for the doctors treat
ment, it is wise to give any such
wound, superficial or deep, one
thorough swabbing with pure
tincture of iodine, which smarts
momentarily and secondarily re-
lieves pain. If it is a mere alb
rasion or scratch, leave it ex-
posed to the air, or, better, al
low direct sunlight to bath it.
If it is a raw or bleeding wound,
protect it temporarily with a
freshly washed and ironed pad
of muslin or gauze.
Children playing about fires
are apt to catch fire from the
flying, infammable character of
their clothing. Flannelette, used
for little girls petticoats, is no.
toriously infammable. Any and
all clothing may be made prac-
tically freproof, as lace cur tains
and the like are so rendered, by
allowing the material to soak for
five minutes in a solution Of one
pound of ammonium phosphate
in one gallon of cold water, and
then hang up to dry. The chem
ical does not injure material, is
nor poisonous and keeps indefi-
nitely, so that it may be used
over and over. When the cloth
ing is washed, or wet through
by rain, the chemical must be
reapplied. In carnivals and pa
geants, when flimsy draperies
are freely used, this solution
offers insurance against deplor.
able accidents.
Any puncture, stab, wound or
injury which doesn't bleed free
ly, be it due to a bright nail or
rusty one, a toy pistol or a
real one, or any abrasion from
white, black or colored stock
ings, deserves prompt surgical
treatment in warm weather. A
dose of antitetanic serum Clock

injury is the surest preventa-
tive of lockjaw.

wives and mistresses-have

neglect of business than horse
races and cards combined.

gambled if he quit because
gambling is foolish-and not be-
cause it is morally wrong. I
will take man who drinks mod

beer or light wines and shows
no outward signs of ovecindul-
gence in those beverages, but I
prefer a teetotaler.
