MONKEY FLESH HIS ONLY MEAT.

Too proud to beg, and finding himself on the
verge of starvation because of the impoverishment
of his noble family in Europe, Count Franz Lazar-
inni, a remittance man well known in Central
America, went to a jungle near Managua, Nicara-
qua, and kept himself alive for five months by eat
ing monkey flesh and roots and berries, according
to reports to marine corps headquarters there.
A party of United States marines while on a
big game hunting expedition discovered the titled
foreigner and took him back to the Nicaraguan
capital.
The count, half starved and nearly mad be-
cause of the ~privation he had suffered, fought his
rescuers and begged them to let him remain in the
jungle, the reports say. The marines overpowered
him, however, and are now attempting to nurse him
back to health and reason at their commodlous bar
racks in the American legation.

yielded from 20 to rs per cent of a crop, while the
yield of the protected orchards was from 50 to 100
per cent, so heavy that thinning was necessary in
many of them.
Individual testimony to the efficiency of orchard
heating in every fruit growing state could be multi
piled indefinitely. Fruit crops valued at $3.50 to
$3.50 an acre were frequently saved at a cost Of
seven to ten dollars an acre. One Colorado grow
er, for instance, with so heaters to the acre raised
the temperature of his 40-acre orchard from IS to
2S degrees and produced Al carloads of apples.
One of the most remarkable stories of heater sue
cess comes from Missouri. A 240-acre orchard To-
Gated in a deep valley had suffered severely from
frost every year and had not produced a full crop
for IA years. Against the advice of all wise-acres,
two brothers from Kansas City bought it, and
equipped 1t with 5000 heaters of the controlled
or graduated type. With 35 or 40 pots to the acre,
the firing was done for four nights at the time the
apples were in bloom. They harvested a crop Of
$4,000 barrels, valued at $4,000, and it was the
only crop in that fruit-growing territory. The net
profit on each acre Appropriated 5000.
The first cost of installing an officiating plant
is higher than for a coal or wood outfit, but the
results in time saved and efficiency gained have
made it the most popular fuel. Oil can be OBJ
tanned in quantity at prices ranging from four to
seven cents a gallon, and it makes a quick, strong
and easily controlled heat. One man can care for
from three to five acres Of orchard for four or five
hours and this is about as long as it will be neces-
sary to burn under ordinary frost conditions. The
prices of the oil heaters range from twelve cents
for a simple "lard-paiP type to 45 cents for one
OF the controlled fre-area type, holding there gal
Ions and burning at full capacity for ten or twelve
hours, or even longer if regulated for a smaller
blaze.

Cardui Wins Suit.

After a trial in the United States
District Court of Chicago, before judge
Carpenter and a federal jury, the jury
found the American Medical AssociI+
ton guilty Of libeling Cardui, the wom-
ans tonic, which they had denounced
as a 'nostrum."
This is a v%indication of the medicine
and a proof that it has merit, which
was recognized by a jury after a trial
of three months, one of the longest
civil cases on record.
Many doctors and chemists testified
on both sides and the evidence totaled
nearly four million words.

Tree stump as Lamp.Post.

In a Pasadena, Cal, front yard there stands an
old sycamore stump about ten feet high. Near
the top are the stubs of two branches. The
owner of the property lately conceived the idea Of
using the stump for a lamp-post, and in the top
at the end of each branch he has placed electric
light bulbs, connected with the powerhouse in the
usual way. The result has been picturesque in
the extreme, especially on a very dark night.

DISPUTE SETTLED
 AFTER MANY YEARS
Committee Appointed by Samuel GOmpers Decides in Favor of
 the Carpenters

New York, January 25.-The dispute of years standing between the United Broth erhood of Carpenters and Joiners and the International Bridge and Structural Ircnworkers as to which organization should have Jurisdiction over dock work ers' unions, was decided today in favor of the carpenters by a committee ap- pointed by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to de- termine the merits of the controversy.
 The decision was declared by MT. Com pers to be one of the most important the federation has ever been called upon to make Labor leaders asserted it might result in tying up contracts aggregating $5, 900 in piers in New York alone
 The dispute was the outgrowth of the contention of the carpenters that the iron workers were virtually acting as strike breakers when they issued a charter to the municipal dock builders who refused to support a strike declared by the other dock workers of this city in 1907. The strikers became affiliated with the Broth erhood of Carpenters while the municipal employees subsequently, obtained a char ter from the ironworkers.

Many Prominent Speakers Will Make Appeal for Assistance to War Vic
 tins, and Everybody Is h. vited to Be Present

The meeting at the Majestic theatre tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at which Birmingham will join in the nation wide movement for the relief of the suffering war victims in Poland, is ex- pected to furnish a remarkable demon stration of the universal charity and humanity of the people of this district. Jews and gentiles will unite in this great work and it is believed that Bir- mirgham will meet the issue and aid in alleviating the intense sufferings of more than 3,5O0,00O homeless and starving people,
 Among the speakers who have al ready accepted invitations to make brief addresses are Bishop J. H. Mccoy, the Rev. M. $. Barnwell, pr. Henry M. Edmonds, Walker Percy, Sydney J.. Bowie, Leo Oberdorfer and Dr. Morris Newfield Capt, Frank s. White will act as chairman of the meeting
 President Wilson, appreciating the fearful conditions existing among the Jewish people of Poland has set aside Thursday, January D. National Jewish Relief Day. The real facts concerning the priva tions and suffering g of the inhabitants of Poland were kept secret for sometime on account of the strict censorship which was exercised by the warning nations controlling the various parts of that country. How ever, reports are now being received, and they have been coming in for sometime, showing that Poland has suffered even more intensely than did Belgium.
 The following comment on the situa- tion is from the New York Press:
 Probably the American people do not realize that approximately one half the Jewish population of the world lives in Poland-or did before the war. That is, in the various German, Aus trian and Russian provinces which made up old Poland before the parti- tion.
 largely within the immediate areas of war. They are everywhere the first and most obvious victims of whateve oppression the lawless or the powerful inflict, for whatever purpose; and if they might be segregated into a com munity by themselves, it would be very apparent that they have born grievances such neither Belgians nor Servians have known
 New York city ought to continue to give hearty support to the movement to raise an American fund of $5, ,000,0 900 to help the unfortunate Jewish victims of the war Everybody, of whatever race, religion, class or condition ought to help. And every city. town and community ought to join in.

INXCEEDING all expectations was the attendance at the Princess AA theatre yesterday when all rec ords were shattered by the public re- ception of the moving picture serial, "The Strange Case of Mary Page.
