LONDON, Aug. 1G. - Woo1Wich ar senal is about the last place one might look for a beauty specialist, yet it is right in the center of that hive of death-dealing machinery manuIacture that one can be found Right in the heart of this great arsenal a "Wom- ems Welfare Department" is presided over by a lady superintendent who has thousands of girls under her care, to administer to their ailments and care for their compleXions. IL is from the high explosives and lydite sections that the girls mostly come from for advice and to rest from the dangerous work which turns their faces a yellow tint if proper care and precautions are not taken in time, Starting with about 400 girls, the welfare department now has charge of thousands. The grrls are advised to avoid iewelry. bangles and such vanities. and they dress in neat blue. gray or khaki overalls and eat at a smart little Y. W. C. A. can teen, which is decorated with pink walls and prettily decked tables.
 A hostel is already being built to accommodate 75o girls just outside the walls of the arsenal; several bunga- lows have been erected to accommO- date four of five girls in the cosiest fashion, and plans are complete for the accommodation of coco more, who will have tennis clubs and other spare time facilities.

0NE. -ARNEO MEN COMMON IN
 EUROPE

PARIS, Arg, If. -- One armed and oncleggcd men are now SO common as 10 raise a question as to why they are SD numerous,
 nr Augustc Broca, while admitting that tbc changed conditions of war fate and the scale of operations must aeycssorily multiply the number Of amputated limbs. claims that con siderable part of the increase in the proportion of survivors who lack member is due 10 the progress of sur eory since the war of 1870; in that conflict nearly all the amputated men died of pHrulent infection; in this war, thanks 10 progress in medical
 cienee, they are nearly al! saved, he z,ys.
 In consequence the demands upon manufacturers of artificial limbs are out of all proportion to anticiDations. Dr. l}rOCa considers that the c0nstruc- tors of artificial substitutes for mem bers or parts of members have also made great progress. Before the war ! really efficient artificial member was an object of luxury; under the stress of circumstances. manufacturers have to a great extent obliterated the distinction between the rich mans
 n1 the poor mans apparatus. Not hat there has been any modification in prices, none of the efficient mod els are cheap. American systems are much in favor but are universally ap- ulicable because they do not adopt themselves to the transitory period in which an amputated member must adapt itself somewhat to the appa- ratus.

CR|SANA \ ITEMS FROM LOCAL
 PAPER

A copy of the Bonanza Ptarmigan published in the Chisana camp, gives the following items of interest regard ing the camp and it's people:
 There seems to be an unusual sti. and hustle around the creeks and the city of Bonanza and Chisana owing to the early breakup of Johnson creek and its tributaries.
 James Nelson X Company have landed their hydraulic plant, and are working a large crew of men, erect ing the plant and getting their ditch in readiness. N. F. Nelson is superin- tendent of the work.
 w. F. James has erected first class assay office for the purpose of testing rock for the miners of this camp, and also will melt the gold dust for the miners, as it is mucl more convenient to handle the bull lion than the gold dust
 Mr and Mrs. l.. V. Stanley have moved to their claim -- No & on Bo- nanza-and are making preparations for summer sluicing. They also will work large crew of men.
 Messrs. Nitric and Costello will op- crate this season on Nos. 10 and 12, Bonanza. They will operate on a large scale. and their prospects are very encouraging,
 Wright & McNutt are busily en- gagged on No. II, Bonanza, prospect ing and getting ready for summer operations, They have very encourag, ing prospects. They have enlarged their bunkhouse to accommodate a large crew of men should they be available when the season opens.
 K. Kawakami, enterprising mer. chant and hotel man of Bonanza city, is on the creek looking for suitable location for a boarding house. He reports business in his line picking up. He landed supplies for the sea son safely. He is contracting with the operators to board their men for $3 a day and give the best food obtain. able.
 Andy Taylor has sold his pack train to Mike Knowles of Horsefelt, and will operate on No. 3, Bonanza, in com pany with Joe Mcclellan. They are busy erecting their mess and bunk, houses. as they intend to work a large crew of men.

PUT ST UP TO FIGHTING
 IN EAST

BRITISH HEADQUARTERS IN MESOPOTAMIA, Aug. 16 Flies, heat and dust, the three principal plaques of Mesopotamia, are what have stopped the fighting for the past several months in this theatre of the great war.
 Fles are so thick that soldier say it is impossible to keep them out of their food. A squadron of cavalry coming down road looked as if they were wearing chain armor. When they came close enough 1t was found that what looked like mail was the stee1y blue metallic mesh of flies.
 A: night the flies disappear and the mosquitoes and sand flies relieve them. Many species bite or sting.
 The thermometer runs up to 130 de- grees in a tent All the men wear a sunguard over their helmet and a spine pad. for a person can get sun stroke here through the small of the back.
 The persistent hot wind is better than complete stiffness, though 1t filings sand and dust in the faces of the men, who eat sand. breathe sand. lie in sand, have sand in their ears, eyes and clothes.
 There are different kinds of heat the moist and tropical heat of the swamps of the Euphrates and the Shat, ai-Arab, the parched and desert heat of the Tigris and the Karun. Each variety has its attendant insects and peculiar ailments. which often take the form of boils and eruptions. Dis ease has incapicated more troops than bullets,
