MR.. BRYAN AND GUS"

Mr.. Bryan made a great speech the
other day against militarism and the
horrors of war.
But Mr.. Bryan is in the same boat
occupied by The Saturday News, and
it's hard to paddle up stream.
Both Mr.. Bryan and The Saturday
News are against militarism, and yet
each is supporting a party and a plat,
form declaring for it-Mr. Bryan the
democratic party and The Saturday
News the republican party. Both are
fearfully and wonderfully inconsist.

And yet there is no palce for either
to 60, excepting the socialistic party,
which neither seems ready to en-
brace.
That's why Mr.. Bryan, fernist mill.
tarism, is supporting a military par
ty; that's why The Saturday News
also against militarism, is supporting
the republican party.
If Mr.. Bryan could get together
three votes that would stick to him,
and The Saturday News could scrape
up another somewhere, they might
form a new party-a non-military
party-which would give them sufi.
cient membership for a president, a
Nice PNesidenp. a secretary and a
treasurer.
And, judging from the general
tone of the press, and the number Of
preparedness parades taking place
here and there throughout the coun-
try, that's about as far as a non
military party would get.

T0N0 NINE IS BUSY
New Records for Days Output Re.
Gently Made-Business
FlOurishing.

The Washington mine at Tono is
one of the busiest places in this dis
trict at the present time and the rush
of orders has placed men and man
agement on tip-toe, says the Contra
liza Daily Hub.
AS a sample of the ability and eff
cheney of the Tono crew the record
of a recent days run is pointed out.
All mine records were broken when
a crew of IS miners mined total of
1,116 tons of coal in an eight-hour
shift. The best previous record was
made at this mine in 1913 when a
crew of 95 men mined 9S6 tons in
eight hours.
Another record was broken Satur-
day, that of individual mining. Louis
Soma broke this record when he
mined 33 tons in eight hours, break
ign the record of Tom LaBelle, made
at the same time, whose high mark
was 20 tons in eight hours.
The Washington Union has had an
unusually good season and the orders
have kept the crews busy and made
the town of Tono the most prosper
Gus mining town in the West.

He was killed along with Scanderbeg
ut the battle of AlessiO. But his only
son. although carried of into captiv-
ity, grew up to achieve fame as Ali
Bey. Essad Pasha is very proud of his
descent and keeps among his most
precious treasures an illuminated gen

Essad was at one time commandment

MED by three other officers. presented
himself before the sultan and pro-
nounced the fateful words, in accord
ance with the fetvah Of the sheik I'll

ton have decreed your deposition"
ThcreupOn the ex-sultan was placed
under arrest by Essad, this lineal de-
scendant Of the crusader royal Duke

France. Essad has declared that this
day Of sweet revenge was the happiest
day Of his life.

ESSAD .PASHA,
STORMY Petrol
War Brings Famous Albanian
Into Lime|ight Again.

@SSAD PASHA, the stormy petrol
Of Albania, has again come to
the fore with the extension of
the war along the Adriatic. Aus
TRAN troops from Montenegro and Bull
garian troops from Servia have been
invading Albania from the north and
east. Essad, the nominal ruler, holds
Durazzo, the capital, port on the Adri-
attic, with q more or less disciplined
force Of 10000 armed and unruly Mos
lem Albanians, while the Italians are
at Valona, q port farther south, with
forces Of unknown strength.
In the first Balkan war Of 1912 Essad
Pasha achieved fame as the defender
for Turkey Of the Albanian city Of Sou
tart. which eventually surrendered to
Montenegro after siege of six months,
in order that he might be free to use
the troops, the guns and the supplies
of the beleaguered stronghold to enable
him to proclaim himself ruler Of Alba
MIA.
He was persuaded to withdraw his
pretensions in favor Of william Of
whose minister Of war he became when
Wied accepted the throne in February,
1914. He rebelled against the king in
the following May and was sent into
exile. King William soon followed him,
compelled to fly by the rebellious at
| titude Of his turbulent subjects.
Essad returned to Albania after the
kings fight and assumed the duties
and title Of provisional president Of
the republic Of Albania. Soon after
ward the war broke out, and he was
left unmolested until the present inva-
sion by the Teutonic allies, whose ad-
vance he will resist as an ally Of the
entente powers.

bantam house of Toptan, which Is de-

In small houses, cased openings are
becoming more and more popular to
join up the rooms in the front part
Of the house. With a small home it is
impossible to get very large rooms,
and such an arrangement may be de-
sirable for entertaining. This is ac-
complished by using cased openings.
The reception hall, living room, and
dining room are connected in this way
here. The arrangement gives large
unobstructed floor space along the
front and one side CT the house. The
cased opening between the dining
room and the living room is so wide
that it makes these two rooms into
one large room. The lighting of these
rooms is taken care of in good shape

RECOGNIZE VALUE OF LIME
German Surgeons Have Discovered
That 1t Is Of Importance as Part
Of Soldiers Diet.

Surgeons in Bavaria are finding that
the use of chloride of lime in the diet
of soldiers increases their power of re-
sisting chills and colds, and also
hastens their recovery from wounds Of
the bones.
1t is several years since Doctors EN-
merich and Loew called the attention
Of the world to the Importance of lime
in the diet of men and beasts. The
Scientific American summarizes a re-
cent article by Doctor Loew on its
value for soldiers. Wounded men re.
ceive daily from two or three grams
of crystallized calcium chloride, or
from three to four grams of lactate OF
lime, and some of their recoveries
seem almost miraculous.
In southern Germany calcium
bread" is already much used. This
can be made by adding five per cent of
what is called calcifarin -four (Which
is a compound of ordinary -four with
chloride Of lime) to the -four in max.
ing the dough.

The Macedonian, criticised so much,
and often unjustly, has become very
sensitive to fault-fnding. He has de-
veloped one all-inclusive excuse for his
sins and failings, and that is his in
variable excuse when blame is placed
upon him that he has been under
Turkish rule for so many, many years.
He hastens to assure the disgruntled
stranger of this fact often before criti-
cism can find verbal expression.
He trusses up his pigs for market,
binding their legs so tightly together
that the thongs bite deep into their
flesh, causing the animals agony while
on the way to market and during the
wait for a purchaser. To the Euro
pean, who demonstrates at this unnec-
essary cruelty, the Macedonian peas
ant, gazing with sad tenderness at the
suffering pig, answers: But we have
been SO long under the Turks" An
other thing that nearly touches the
traveller in Macedonia is the extor-
tionate prices he must pay in land
where all is naturally cheap. Tie
Jew, the Greek, and the Wlach I'M
