BIBLE ESCAPED THE TORPEDO
FIoated to Scottish Coast From Vessel
That Had Been Sent to the
Bottom by Submarine.

In the relic room of Chicago
mail-order house there has been
placed on exhibition a water-soaked
family Bible that had survived a tor
pedo from a submarine and the bill
lows Of the Atlantic ocean.
Ordered BY customer, J. Terry
Morgan, in Sierra Leone, West Af-
RIGA, the Bible was sent by parcel
post from Chicago and was a part of
the mail on board the steamship Fa-
laba when she was torpedoed and
sunk in March, 1915, off the south
west English coast.
In some way the Bible was torn
loose from the mail bag by the explo-
sion. 1t was picked up by a fisher
man weeks ago ON the coast of Scot
land.
How, with its compactness and
weight, it could have floated that dis
lance, is mystery. The book was
sent to Liverpool, the postmarks and
shippers name being deciphered.
and returned to Chicago.

BRIDES PICKED BY PICTURES
Japanese in Honolulu Eagerly await
Better Halves Whom They Have
Never Actually Seen.

Another choice lot Of Japanese
"picture brides" are being distribute
ed today at the United States immi-
grafton station. The T. X. X. liner
Shinyo Maru brought A Of them in
from the Orient Tuesday morning.
and they are being handed out to
their respective or prospective hus-
bands tafter proper Identification of
the men concerned in each matrimo-
NAL venture. Yesterday fifteen to
twenty of the "picture brides were
allowed to 60. A long procession Of
hacks took the young women and the
Japanese men up town, where they
were married, returning to the sta
ton afterward with marriage certifi-
Gates, before leaving for their new
homes here and on the other islands.
United States immigration officials
say that on the average one hundred
"picture brides" arrive here each
month on steamers from the Orient.
They and other oriental immigrants
are loaded upon a barge from the
steamers and towed over to the i'm
migration station landing. As they
file up to the station, dressed in all
their Japanese finery, they make a
pageant picturesque in the extreme
Honolulu Star.

The latest Carranza note proposes
that the differences between the gov
ernments be settled by mediation or
by direct negotiations. 1t is remark
able for its brevity, its restrained and
friendly tone and for the absolute lack
of any of the strong, even insolent
language which characterized the last
two communications from the de fac
to government 1t treats as closed
incident the exchange Of unfriendly
communications which brought war

Women now out-number men by
more than l,2500O0 in the British
Isles, while in some of the Empires
Oversee Dominions men are in a large
majority. To redistribute these wo-
men, who are war widows, when the
conflict is over, the Salvation Army
has a scheme to send them to the
Dominions to remarry and is raising
a fund of 81 200, 600 to defray the ex-
penses of their emigration and that of
their children. II is estimated that the
cost of emigration would average
about SIS for a single woman and 500
for a family of three and that by
means of the 100000 fund at least
5000 widows, with 10000 children
could be emigrated.

Good Lights Necessary.

Have you been using the same old
sputtery lamps to read by. Then it is
no wonder you are having trouble with
your eyes. 1t pays to have good lights
to work and read by. Better pay out
money for good lamps than for spec
tacles. There are a number of inn
proved makes of kerosene lamps that
give a good, strong, steady light and
also some very brilliant and econom-
ical gasoline lights. Some of these al
most equal the brilliancy of electric
ity.-Exchange.

FIND COMFORT IN TRENCHES
British Soldiers at Front Provided
With Beds and Fires, and Have
Dry Boots Awaiting Them.

Enormous improvements have been
made in the British trenches since
last winter. Most of them have
boarded floors, others have brick
floors.
They have a system of trench
pumps to get rid Of the water, and
pipes which run a mile and half
back from the front of the trench
supplying drinking water to the men.
The dugouts are comparatively COM
Portable. The men have rought beds
to lie on, and many contain tables.
Many Of them also have small bra
ziers with fires.
One of the most valued presents
which the men receive are boxes of
nightlights, which they are allowed
to burn in their dugouts. This year
the men have been served out with
long rubber boots. When a battalion
of men is coming to the trenches it
finds in the supporting lines these
boots waiting.
They remove their own boots, get
an extra thick pair Of stockings, and
put on the rubber boots. When COM
ing away after turn in the trenches
they leave these boots at the same
station, and receive their own boots
and socks, which have been dried foI
them.

The Prohibitionists have adopted a
new party emblem. 1t consists OF a
small camel made of gunmetal, in the

"P. p" for prohibition party. This
radical departure from the phoenix

Operating Trains
With Telephones.
I, @. &. st. LII viii Soon Began
Building Line From Nash
vile to Hollow Ruck
junction.

The Nashville Chattanooga &
ST. Louis Railway is preparing to
extend its telephone service and
expects by July to have in
operation a double copper wire
circuit between Nashville and
Hollow Rock Junction. The CON
tracts for the poles have been
placed, and in furtherance of its
policy to purchase supplies from
person along its line, the poles
will be supplied by farmers be-
tween the two points. The con
tract for wire, ETC., has also been
placed. superintendent Thee
Speiden, Jr., of the Nashville
division, says that the new tele-
phone system will be practically
the same type as that now in
operation between Nashville and
Chattanooga by which the road
operates its trains. With the
completion of the line between
Nashville and Hollow Rock juno
ton, the company will have tele-
phone control of trains over 271
miles of line, AS the line to Chatt-
anooga is Isl miles and there is
20 miles on the Tracy City branch
and 5 miles on the Jasper branch.
The line between Nashville and
Hollow Rock Junction will be 90
miles. There will be two circuits
OF two wires each, one for dis
patching add one for messages.
The use of the telephone in
the handling of trains has proved
very satisfactory to the company
and in line with it's progressive
policy other extensions will. be
made from time to time.
The distribution OF poles for
the new system will begin with
III the next ten days, as the
survey has just been completed,
and it is planned to have the sys-
TEN in operation by July.

Drafts feel best when we are

they are most dangerous and the
result is Neuralgia, Stiff Neck,
Sore Muscles or sometimes an at
tack of Rheumatism. In such
cases apply SCANS Liniment. It
stimulates circulation to the sore
and painful part. The blood
flows freely and in short time
the stiffness and pain leaves.

undertakes a review of his re-

good as possible by mentioning
his efforts to get a reduction from
three cents a mile to two and
