Even Turkey will not be able to endure if
the railroad lines that bind it to Germany
are cut. The scenes that are so interest
ing in Budapest in recent days may be re-
peated in Sofa tomorrow, in CONSTANT
nople at no distant date. All the allies Of
Germany have been enjoying a war that
was fought in the territory of the enemy,
but the war is coming home now. This
tends - diminish enthusiasm and to en-
courage recrimination.
The Budapest episode is more than in
teresting 1t is symptomatic Of what IS
going on behind the veil that surrounds the
Central Powers; it is completely indca-
tive of the change since that fortunate
moment year ago when every new war
bulletin recorded a fresh German victory
and the achievements of Napoleon seemed
TO be yielding to those Of Hindenburg and
Mackensen. All the things that the
Central Powers have done to their enemies
are now being done to them. Was there
bad faith. perfidy, Belgium-Rumania has
adopted the lesson. Was there the wasting
of the fields and the destruction of the
cities i'm the pleasant lands Of France and
Belgium, the flight of the innocent popula-
ton and the misery Of the multitudcs-it
is taking place in Hungary and Galicia to-
day. Was Germany in state Of neces-
sity' with respect to Belgium-Rumania's
estate Of necessity is now a part Of war
history.
We are probably many months away
from peace, but enough has happened al
ready TO make it clear that not one single
hairsbreadth Of profit will come to the
nations who have brought all this misery to
the world. and from them will be withheld
not one ounce of all the weight of misery
and bitterness that for two years they
have been dispensing over the face Of
Europe The tears and wrath Of Hungary
now are but the first sign, the initial evil
dence. of what is to come. 1t will have a
pleasanter sound to American ears when
it comes from Berlin, and it may not be
too long before the Cossacks return to
East Prussia.
German necessity" has been above the
law for two years, but the law and not
German necessity" is prevailing. What
is now happening is worth all the waiting
that we have had and it is only first
faint promise of what is to come. Even
our own murdered women and children Of
the Lusitania will not sleep forever un-
avenged, although their fellow country
men may be the only considerable fraction
of civilized mankind whose fears restrain
them from participating in the necessary
work Of bringing justice to Germany.

instance, a Mayo man himself, found his
countrymen curiously defective IN this
way, and was often surprised at the grave
comments brought forth by observations
of his which he supposed to be obviously
ironical or facetious.
This business Of denying or attributlng
undefnable qualities to nations is perllous
at the best. Allowance should be made
for varieties Of taste. Your Englishman
thinks his neighbor the Scot is wanting
in what he calls humor, the American Is
skeptical Of the Englshman's humor, the
humor supposed TO be typically American
is meaningless to the Frenchman, and so
on. Doubtless the modern German him
self boasts of a national humor incompre-
hensible to the less fortunate foreigner.
We know. too. that there is even certain
sex rivalry in this matter, 50 that 1t is
common to hear men complain that women
are deficient in humor.
But to return to the people OF Ire
land it was Swift's opinion that they had
ga much better taste for good sense,
humor and raillery" than the English;
only the misery of the whole nation was
enough to damp the best spirits under
the sun" May it not be that "The Medi-
cal Times" is confounding cause with

A Neglected Pioneer.

Had it not been for the Champlan Society
Of Toronto we should know almost nothing
Of the man who FIRST surveyed and mapped
out the greater part of British North Amer
lea. Among millions versed in the lora Of
African exploration how many ever heard
Of David Thompson and his achievements
in a territory much nearer to us? Life prac-
tcaly began for this wonderful Welshman
in a London charity school; at the age Of
fourteen he was already across the seas and
embarked on his adventurous career. lie
spent seven years with the Hudson's Bay
Company, and for q further twenty-onc years
gave his services to the Northwestern Com
pany Of Montreal.
During the greater part Of ~ period lie
travelled constantly By canoe, horse or afoot,
bearing all manner Of hardships and facing
the risks Of a route bcset with danger from
both nature and man. His itinerary covered
distance Of $4,000 miles. On the western
side he traversed the present State of Wash
ington on the Pacific, then an unallotted re-
gion; 20 the cast he went twice around Lake
Superior and six times round the greater
Part Of its circumference Of !. 6ls miles With
.lin vic anu flillNi'u lNpIlHabH many AiHtt~
brayed the formidable passes Of the Rocky
Mountains and the even more dangerous In
dian tribe which then held their eastern
foot All the while, though often dependent
upon his rifle for sustenance, the explorer
found time 10 construct maps Of his surveys
observe and record natural phenomena. keep
meteorological records, take Astronomical OBJ
scryations. and educate himself. for he was
largely solf-taught.
In his later life, spent near Montreal,
Thompson did the work of his choice closer
20 civilization, but civilization had already
forgotten him. The explorer who gave his
life 20 it's furthcrance passed away blind AZ
the age Of cighty-scvon, and died in such
"extrcmc poverty" that short time before
his death, after selling his instruments and
even his coat for food, he had to write in
his diary: Borrowed 2s. Cd from friend.

Adapting Theatres to the Weather.

1t is clear by now that the weather viii
not adapt itself to the early opening OF
the theatres. The recent touch Of autumn
was transient if not delusiye, and 1t IS
quite possible that there are roaring days
to come. For let us not forget that some
of the fercest heat Of last year was IN the
closing days of September. and that after
all it is unreasonable to expect the seasons
to follow the whms of theatrical man
ayers. Rather let the managers consider
the wise example Of Mahomet and accom-
plish the desired adjustment by some slight
concession on their own part.
Billboard assurances have lost their
force. There are too many playhouses
twenty degrees cooler than any other in
the city" and the painted thermometers
with the mercury lowering about the COS
have no more effect than those gigantic
beer mugs that were supposed at one time
to tempt the thirsty on the Bowery. There
are too many of them to-day. We will say
nothing of the tactlessness Of titles so un-
seasonable as Fair and Warmer or The
Flame" but Of the empty promises at.
the doors Of the theatres it may safely be
said that they deceive no man. If the
managers would take but half the pains
TO keep up the illusions they endeavor so
eagerly to create with the bats they set
outside. their chances would be better; and
who can doubt that the thing is possible?
Some experiments made in Toxic re-
Gently during the sultry season would be-
worth repeating here. They were de-
signed expressly to cool the audiences by
suggestion. and from all accounts the au-
diences were satisfied. The process is thus
described in "The Japan Magazine:
in one theatre when the curtain
arose there was revealed to the eye Of
the swcltering audience the refreshing
scene Of terrific rainstorm on Lake
Hakone. Every one Immediately for
got atmospheric conditions under the
charm of the enhancing scene, and the
psychological effect was equal to find
ing ones self caught in a heavy
shower. Another scene represented
number of people bathing in rushing
river and splashing one another with
water, recalling to those present many
a pleasant moment spent in just such
pranks of childhood in the dear days
when the air was never too hot.
A third scene depicted the fsherwom-
en- of SanuN plunging into the cool
sea water, suggesting to every one
lust how he would like to feel, and
after such a scene to some extent did
feel"
The japanese appear to find comfort in
such suggestions, for we are assured that
these scenes help the heat-oppressed
body to forget present existence" And
though we may be less susceptible, yet
the device repeated at suitable intervals
would surely be more sustaining than the
obviously mendacious thermometer at the
door.

SWEPT BY BANDITS
Rural Districts in South Mexico
Are Ravaged.
Robberies and Murders Of Daily Oc-
currence, Some Of Them Just Out
side Vera Cruz City-Sus-
poets Executed on Spot.

Vera Cruz, Mexico-It is dangerous
for unprotected travellers to venture
into the region that lies between Vera
Cruz and the City of Mexico. Bandits
are in complete possession of the rural
districts. Reports of robberies and
murders by brigands are received here
daily. Some of these crimes are COM
mitted almost within the precincts of
the city. Railroad travel is so haz-
ardous that few people care to under
take the journey between here and the
capital Almost every passenger train
is held up and it's passengers robbed.
The old-time method of freighting by
OK team was recently put into prac-
tice on the route between Jalapa and
Vera Cruz on account of the uncer-
tainty of transportation on the rail-
road. All of these freighting wagons
are accompanied by guards of sol
diers
Never, even in the period immedi-
ately following Diaz's ascending to
the presidency, has there been wit
messed such widespread brigandage as
is now going on all over southern
Mexico. The bandits are numbered by
the thousands. They operate boldly,
without any attempt being made to
modest them except in the larger
towns. The villages and rural COM
munities are at their complete mercy.
Very few of the wagon trains that
leave Vera Cruz Cor interior towns
arrive with their loads; almost in
variably they are held UP and looted
of the merchandise.
In the mountains around the beau
tiful city of Jalapa, capital of the
state of Vera Cruz, brigandage is SO
rife that many of the coffee planters
and other rural residents have been
forced to seek refuge in the town.
In the state of Oaxaca, where an in
dependent government has been in
existence for two years, an effort is
being made to put an end to brigand-
age by executing ON the spot all per-
sons who cannot give good account
of themselves. The more remote min
ing districts of Oaxaca are said to be

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS
WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS
Harmless to Flush Kidneys and Neu.
traIize Irritating Acids-Splendid
for the System.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains to irritate and
inflame, causing burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck of the bladder, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes
sometimes with scalding sensation
and is very profuse; again, there is
difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call
1t, because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one of the most simple ailments
TO overcome. Get about four ounces
Of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
tralize the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
bladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects whatever.
Here you have pleasant, efferves-
cent Whitewater drink, which quickly
relieves bladder trouble.-Adv.

FORCED FROM PETS
Aged Woman Gives Up Twenty
Years Struggle.
Since Passing ScripturaI Age Limit,
Her Life Has Borne Out Bib
iical Promise Of Labor
and Sorrow.

st. Paul.-After a twenty years
struggle to remain independent, Mrs.
Della Maxwell, lightweight years old,
was taken to the City hospital to live
out the remainder of her life. Officials
of the Wilder charities found her i'll
in a desolate basement at State and
Eaton streets and took her away IN
an ambulance.
Three Angora cats, which, with their
progenitors, have been Mrs. Maxwells
lifelong companions, were left with
neighbors, and she was told that she
might have them near her in her new
home
For four years charity workers have
tried to get Mrs Maxwell to go to
some institution where she might live
comfortably, but she persistently re-
fused to listen to such proposals for
fear she would be separated from her
pets.
At intervals she would be lost sight
OF, to be discovered later in some Sc
cluded basement or tenement. hiding
herself and her feline companions.
with each rediscovery of the aged
woman a new effort would be made
Is induce her to enter a charitable
home. When she refused, fuel and
food would be brought. But, once dis
covered, her place Of abode was soon
changed
Since passing the three-score-and-ten
scriptural age limit, Mrs. Maxwell's
life had borne out the biblical promise
of being filled with labor and sorrow.
About twenty years ago her husband,
who was a bookkeeper in one of the
city Offices, died. Their life was COM
Portable, but the husbands salary had
given little opportunity to save and he
left but a small estate.
Mrs. Maxwell invested her little in
heritance in horse and tiny farm in
one of the suburbs. She planned to
live by marketing and keeping blooded
cats and chickens. But shortly after
this one Of her legs was broken. It
was badly set and left her permanent
cripple. She stayed on the farm fif-
teen years, gradually getting into debt.
Then her horse died. She had become
SO feeble she had to give up her farm.
She sold it for little more than enough
to pay her debts and came to town,
planning to earn as much as possible
with her chickens and cats. The Low
ing Kindness branch Of the Sunshine
society discovered her soon after she
returned to town. She was in need.
The branch provided for her since that
time, when she could be found. The
Wilder and Associated charities helped.
The board of control saw that she was
supplied with COAL
On Christmas day charity workers
found Mrs. Maxwell one Of the hap
piest of their charges. With plenty of
coal and frequent baskets Of provisions
and with her pets she was more cheer
full than many who had all that money
could buy, she told them. A day or
two ago, however, the aged woman
became so i'll she had to take to her
bed. Then it was decided that her
wishes at last must be overruled and
the ambulance took her away from her
pets to the hospital.
