DELIGHTFUL VEHICLE FOR
THE TALENTS OF SCORES OF
CHILDREN.

In presenting the extravaganza,
Puss In the Boots, this evening the
Z. w. c: A. has chosen, in this old

weeks, there is every promise of an
evening of the rarest enjoyment.
In addition to the beautiful story
of the Prince and his adventures

to enjoy that, as well as the bright
play, in which so many of the chill
dren and the young girls and young
men of the city are to take the lead
ing parts.
The opera house will be crowded
with the interested friends and rela-
tives, not only because of the beauty
of the spectacle to be presented, but
also because of the great interest that
Pensacola always manifests in what
ever the Y. w. G. A. undertakes
Since its inception, this organization
has done wonderful work in Pen
sacola, and it deserves the patronage
of all who are interested not only in
children and their ingenious acting,
but those who wish to see this
worthy institution succeed, and this
should include all who are interested
in the welfare and progress Of the
city.
Those who will take part in the

TWO GAMES PLAYED
At YIN. CA. TONIGHT
SENIOR LEAGUE WILL STAGE
COUPLE OF EXCELLENT con-
TESTS TO DELIGHTED BAS-
KETBALL FANS.

Two games of basketball will be
played tonight in the Y. NJ. c.. A.
Senior League. Langford's team plays
the High School with Smiths team
playing the Wilson Biggs. The teams
this year are so evenly matched that
the outcome of the games are in doubt
until the last minute of play. Of the
four games already played in the
league not one has been won by over
two points, which record itself should
more than assure the fans of basket
ball par excellence.
The games start promptly at 8:15
with Harry Lurton referee.
Funny Paper League.
The Katzenjammers blanked the
Scoops yesterday afternoon in a
rather queerly played game by the
score of 10 to 0. The Katzenjam-
mers after being held scoreless all of
the first half and a good part of
the second finally broke loose and
scored five. field goals which Melted
them the game. The Scoops were
held scoreless throughout the game,
but put up plucky fight.
The Mutt and Jeffs scored rather
decisive victory over the Hooligans in
the second game by the score of 16
to A. The victors took the lead from
the first and were never in danger of
being overtaken. Toby Herskovitz
refereed the contests.
There viii be no junior gym class
Saturday morning but the class viii

The Scouts viii go along on the hike
under the command of Scoutmaster
A. K. Hunter with Morris Lichten,

bly, by several hours of chilly sensa-
lions accompanied by sneezing, which
is soon followed by a distressing cough
and sweating. with pains in all parts Of
the body Unless checked the disease
develops into pneumonia First OF all the
bowels must Be kept open. The patient
should be put to bed or compelled to
take absolute rest in an easy chair, the
diet should be light, but should consist Of
nour1shing food and one anti-kamnia
tablet should be taken every two or
three hours. This treatment win usual

.TETANUS IS FATAL
To THOUSANDS IN
FRENCH TRENCHES
Observation-Disclosures SOIL FULL
OF MICRO-oRGtNIsMS, ADD
NEW DANGERS TO TRIVIAL
FLESH WOUNDS.
81 ASSOCIATED PRESS.


London, Jan. 16.-The ratio be-
tween deaths by disease and deaths
by wounds are reversed in the pres
ent war as compared with the boer
war. In South Africa disease was
responsible for large percentage of
the casualties, whereas in the trench
es in France disease has been reduced
| to negligible minimum. The wounds
in the South African war were usu-
ally neat bullet holes, which looked
as if made with bradawls, while in
the present struggle not only have
shells and bombs brought new and
terrible kinds of wounds, but high
ly cultivated soil full of micro-or-
ganisms such as tetanus, have added
new dangers to the most trivial kinds
of flesh wounds.
The differences between sources of
casualties IN the two wars was the
subject of lecture before the Roy
al College of Surgeons this week by
Sir Anthony Bowlby, who attended
the King during his recent accident
in France. He laid the destructive
ness of modern warfare to close range
fighting and the use of high explo-
sives. Shells have such varied eff
fects that there are no typical shell
wounds. Even rifle bullets tear the
tissues badly, owing to their terrific
velocity at short range. In Africa
the bullets travelled half mile or
more and lost their force. Bombs
and hand grenades throw up large
quantities of trench dirst, which en-
tiers the wounds and infects them with
extreme rapidity. Men when wound
ed usually fall into mud and water
in Flanders, or into the dust, If it is
summer.
Sir Anthony said the building of
communicating trenches had, how
ever, considerably lessened the dan
ger of infection. In the early days
of the war, before this means of
passing under cover to the rear was
tried, wounded men had to be kept in
the advanced trenches until night af-
forded some protection to the stretch
er-bearers, for any attempt to collect
the wounded IN day time drew the
enemy's fire. One man he treated
lay for ten days before he could be
rescued and consequently lost both
feet as the result of gangrene. Now
the men are carried out of the
trenches by means of chair stretchers
which get around the corners. But
men falling in front of the trenches
have to be rescued at night as
formerly.
Not only the time eIapsing before
aid IS received, but the physical con-
diticn of the men due to lack of food,
drink or sleep must also be taken
into account in estimating their
chances of surviving.

Marine Notes.

The British steamship StrathfiIlan
which went to the quarantine station
at an early hour yesterday, returned
IN the afternoon and took a berth on
the west side of Commandments wharf
where she viii take supply of bunk
er coal. This steamer was unable to
get up to the coal chutes, as there
were three vessels ahead of her. It
is said that, until the improved IA
cilities are completed on the coal
dock, coaling berths are at a prem
ium, one ship at time being accom-
modated. Yesterday afternoon three
vessels were in line for coal, and the
Strathfllan was assigned the Com
mandancia wharf berth, where a sup
ply will be wheeled tothe ship.

Saul Bercoff, D. D., Phi. D., master
of dozen trades and professions is
in Pensacola. He is here primarily to
organize humane society, of which
Pensacola is so much in need and
while walking the streets of the city
yesterday he noticed on more than
one occasion where a humane society
properly handled, would do most eff
fective work. Today he will call on
Mayor Greenhut and later see sew
eral prominent men and women of the
city in the hope of securing an effec-
tive organization for the protection
of the dumb brutes of the city.
Professor-Doct or-Reverend Bercoff,
though he dislikes the using of any of
these titles, has a head filled with
classic lore and arms and hands bound
with strong, highly-trained muscles.
Turn him loose at any of these call
ings and he will snake good;" in fact,
he has made a comfortable living at
each: Minister, newspaperman, in

brew paper published in Jerusalem.
Later, he taught German, Hebrew,
Arabic and Syrian, and botany, in the
schools of the Educational Alliance In

year as interpreter for immigrants
landing at Ellis Island from nearly
every section OF Europe.
From that he went into the Zion

Philanthropic associations in New
York, at the same time filing numer-
Gus engagements on the lecture plat
form.
Then he tackled and mastered the
trades, devoting eight to fifteen weeks
at each.

The cutter Tallapoosa, which was
ordered here to convey the visiting
railroad and financiers about the har-
Dor, did not come up to any of the
wharves, as had been desired, the
skipper not permitting the govern

The cutter was drawing ten feet and
fraction, while at the assigned
wharf at Palafox, there were easily
eighteen feet. The visitors and Pen
sacola entertainers were transferred
to the cutter by the Penrose and the
ships boat from the TaIlapoosa. This
was about the only unpleasant feature
of the days busy happenings.
