Berlin, Sept. 30.-Any statesman re-

England would deserve hanging Chan
cellor Won Bethmann-Hollewg declared

The chancellor did not refer to pos

'For more than a year the Italian
government resisted. Finally the meas

ruthlessness against neutrals and her
allies were too strong. Italy's war

WOMAN SLAIN AND BURNED.
Victim Found Stranged in Ruins OF
Summer Home.

Mountain View, N. H., Oct. g.
Mrs. Frederick L. Small, wife of a
Boston real estate broker, who was
burned in a fire on Friday which de-
stroyed the Small summer home at
Lake Ossipee, was murdered, it was
discovered when the body was taken
from the ruins. She had been beaten
over the head and strangled by a rope
tied around her neck.
Later, on his own authority, Sheriff
Chandler placed Small under arrest
and held him at local hotel pending
instructions from the county solicitor.
The police believe the fire was set to
cover the crime. By mere chance,
however, this failed. The body dropped
into the basement and the head and
neck lodged in a pool of water. The
rope which had been drawn twice
around the neck was preserved.

DON'T HIRERhA1E

The health department is giving the
soundest sort of advice to the people
of Chicago in these two words. Had
the disease-preventing powers of
fresh air been more actively employed
during the last few weeks 1t seems
quite certain that the number Of
deaths the last week in December
would not have run 400 above the
average. says the Chicago Herald.
Too many people in no sense pow
erty-stricken have a tendency to
hibernate as soon as the weather be-
gins to grow cold. They close up
their houses, and not merely the
living rooms. but also the sleeping
rooms. Lack of fresh air in the latter
is more injurious than in the former
We so in and out of living rooms
and so give our lungs an occasional
bath. In sleeping rooms we stav con-
tinuously for third or more Of the
twenty-four hours.
Possibly the open" dwelling, prac-
tically undivided by doors, uniformly
heated and so apt to be uniformly UNI
ventilated, has much to do with such
situations as Chicago saw in the
last week of 1915. with applicants for
burial permits standing in lines. Ger
tain it is that the last days of De-
cember spoiled what would otherwise
have been a mortality record for Chi
cago to boast OF. And Of all the kinds
of waste, the waste of health and
strength Is the most injurious to the
social welfare.

of preparedness. IL the north had
been as well prepared for war in
1S61-1S64 as the south, there would
have been no war. II Great Britain
had been as well prepared for war as
Germany, there would be no war. As
any old soldier of the war of 1861
1865 can verify, on every battlefield
Of the early part Of that war there
were cannons and arms marked u.
s., Springfield, Mass, Baton Rouge,
U. s. arsenals, indicating that the u.
S. arms were transferred by Floyd
and the cabinet Of the president of
the United States at that time, from
the north to the south in prepared
ness for the civil war OF 1S61-1865.
II we want to continue our pros
perity, peace and happiness in this
country we must prepare for defense
without delay. When we are pre-
pared for war we will not fear the
threats OF Germany, Japan or any
other nation. Because Of our pre-
paredness. France evacuated Mexico
upon the suggestion of the United
States in 1866. Let us in peace spend
our millions of dollars in prepared
ness. thereby save the lives, peace,
happiness and rights of our people
and country, rather than spend bill
lions in defensive war. l only plead
for defensive war, and only in favor
OF offensive war by vote OF our
people or the necessary incident Of
defensive war. Obey the dictates
of wisdom. prepare for war in time

Defending Eoyrt

New York World: The strategy OF
"a German-Turkish attack on Egypt is
simple. It would be designed to draw
of British troops to fight Turks and
desert Moslems instead of fighting
Germans.
Except higher officers, engineers and
artillerymen, no Germans need be
sent to Egypt. Fighting would be left
to the Turks. most OF whom must be
drawn from Asia Minor, as they were
for the Bagdad campaign. IN Mesopot-i
anna and Arabia conscription is never
really enforced.
So an attack on Egypt in force, not
"a mere raid like that on FL Kantara
early in the war, Ia a problem in trans.
portation. The soldiers must travel
an average distance OF 1000 miles or
more. part OF the way through desert.
German military material must be
carried more than 1000 miles, most OF
the way on a single line Of railroad.

twelve days from Gonstantinople. as

To speak OF pouring half million
men into Egypt Is to describe feat
unlikely, If not impossible. A quarter
OF the number might give England a
fright. Yet England may not be so
easily scared as year ago. For
months she has been defending Egypt
at Gallipoli. She may choose next
year to defend the Suez canal by
push into the Balkans. a

Institution established by Samuel l..
Howe at Mount Pleasant 1t was
first called the Mount Pleasant high
school and female seminary, but later
it was known simply as Howe's acad-
envy. says Aurner's History Of Edu-
cation" The academy was original
in many of its undertakings; and 1t
depended entirely upon it's reputation
to secure patronage, issuing no an
nouncement or catalog Of any form
from the time of its organization In
1914 until the year 1874.
The original proprietor, Samuel L.
Howe. had formerly established an
academy at Lancaster, Ohio, where
Gen. William It. Sherman and Hon.
John Sherman had been students. It
was the opinion Of Mr.. Howe that
girls and boys should be educated to-
gether. His opposition to separate
schools for boys and girls was pub
licly expressed; and so in his plan Of
education both were to be treated
exactly alike.

NorE: It is now asserted with con-
fdence that these painful effects due to
uric acid in the system ore entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called "Anuric, !"
has been discovered by DR.. Pierce, and is
the cause of drainage outward of tho
uric acid with which It comes in contact
within the body. 1t will ward off back
aches of articular or muscular rhenmn-
tism-of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as govt,
asthma, sciatica, renal calculus. "An-
uric prolongs life because old people usu-
ally suffer from hardening and thickening
OF the walls Of the arteries, due to tho ex-
cess OF uric acid in the blood and tissues.
DR.. Pierce, who is director and chief
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, has
been testing this wonderful medicine for
kidneys The relief obtained by sufferers
has been SO satisfactory that he deter
mined to place sAnuric" with the prin-
cipal druggists In town where people
could get this ready -to-use medicine.
f" Anuric" Is not harmful or poisonous,
but aids nature in throwing of those
poisons within the body which cause SO
much suffering, pain and misery. Scien-
fists assert this remedy Is 81 times more
potent than lithia.
For Diabetes and Bright's Disease this
good as DR.. Pierce's other well-known
medicines which have been proven reli-
able during nearly. fifty years. such as
