ARRESTED CONSULS
RUSHED TO FRANCE
Paris SEXES Bulgarian Agent
T. as Act Of ReprisaI.

PARIS The consuls of the
Teutonic allies arrested at Salon Xxi
are en- route to Marseilles. Upon land
ing at the French port they will be
conducted to the Swiss frontier. This
announcement was made by the min
istry of the interior. The Bulgarian Of
fetal in charge of the archives in the
Bulgarian legation in Paris was ar
rested in the morning in reprisal for
the arrest of the French vice consul
and the French charge daffaires at
Sofia by the Bulgars.
The French vice consul had been
permitted to remain in Sofia to assist
the Dutch minister who had been in
trusted with the care of the French
interests. He was arrested following
the detention of consuls by the en-
tente allies at Saloniki.
According to the Petit Partisan the
Greek protest that the arrest of the
Teutonic consuIs at Saloniki was a
violation of Greek neutrality" was
Couched in much sharper terms than
the Greek complaints to Berlin and
Vienna regarding the Teutonic aerial
raid on Saloniki.

Fire In a Cotton Bale.

Kerosene oil has been used success
fully to extinguish fire in baled cot
ton A cotton bale is subjected to a
very heavy pressure. Water will pene-
trate it but IN inch or so, whereas
kerosene will go clear to the center. A
fire in a cotton bale does not blaze,
but simply smolders and eats it's way
into the bale. At the comparatively
low temperature at which cotton burns,
and where there is no fame, kerosene
does not ignite, but smothers or extin-
cuisines the slow, creeping fire. After
the fire is extinguished the bands are
removed from the bale and burned
portions of the cotton stripped off. It
is said that the use of kerosene has
practically no detrimental effect Gu the
cotton, and after it has been spread
out and aired for few days all odor
Of the oil disappears.--Argona

connection with this custom Is told of
Sir Frank Lockwood. On one Occa-

they were announced quite correctly
by the butler as "Lochbuie and Mrs.

COMFORTING WORDS

To have the pains and aches of a bad
back removed-to be entirely free from
annoying, dangerous urinary disorders,
is enough to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. The following advice of one
who has suffered will prove comforting
words to hundreds of Edgerton readers.
James Pollard, retired farmer, Roll

says: Il had dull ache in the small
of my back and the secretions from
my kidneys were unnatural. | began

Obsolete Trade Names.

Some obsolete names of trades sur
vive as surnames-e. g., Webster,
Lister, Walker. In the fourteenth cen
fury the weaver was known as ''the
webster" the dyer was 1.-The lyster'
and the workman who trod the cloth
in the dye vat was :. the walker" The
arkwright made the arks or chests
in which clothes or meal were stored,
and the smith was frequently dubbed
'the faber,' this later being one Of
the rare cases in which the Latin
translation Of craft has become
common surname. When the cotteler
had forged an edged tool the blomer
finished it off or put the bloom on: the
chapman travelled with goods from
door to door and the coke baked cakes
and sold them.-London Taller.

Moral "Risks."

1t is pointed out by modern thinker
that there is no such thing as a moral
risk. for when we talk about ''riSk"
we mean that there is u possibility
but not a certainty, that harm will re-
suit. A boy takes physical risk
when he goes skating on that part of
the river where the ice is thin. He
may fall through and injure his health
or lose his life. But when we venture
on thin ice in our moral life there is no
risk in the matter at all. There is as
sured catastrophe from the moment
we start in that direction. No one can
do anything which he knows involves
possible moral danger without thereby
definitely passing beyond the line Of
mere danger into positive injury to his
character

LANGUAGES In Switzerland.

There is no Swiss language as such.
By the federal constitution of 1S4S
and 1874 French, German and Italian
are formally recognized as national
languages. Debates in the federal
parliament may be carried on in any
Of these languages. All laws and fed
eral acts appear in three versions.
There is historical dialect called the
Romansch. or Latin, which is still used
by some of the people, but this dialect
is not recognized politically.

CENSORSHIP ON ALL MAIL
Great Britain Will Supervise Incoming
Pieces Including Newspapers.

LONDON = In addition to the
elaborate censorship of all outgoing
mail, England has now instituted a
complete censorship of all incoming

means that all correspondence be-
tween Great Britain and America will
be censored.
The mail aboard the American liner
st. Louis, arriving on the second, has
rot yet been delivered and it is report.
ed that this delay is due to the inaug-
uration of the new system of censor
ship. 1t is expected, however that
within a short time such delay will
not exceed twenty-four hours. The
reason for this new development is not
given.
