LONDON, Nov. 13.-Russians,
Rumanians and Franco-Serbians
are continuing their hammering
against the lines of the central
powers on every eastern and
southeastern front today.
At some points Germans and
Austrians are attacking fiercely,
but according to advices at all
the capitals, the larger successes
are being won by the arms of
the entente allies.
French troops are today co-or-
dinating the trenches and posi-
tions they wrested from the Ger
mans yesterday at Sailly-Saillise
on the west front, at which point
sporadic German attempts to re-
capture the positions ere going
on with increasing intensity.
In Critical Stage
The fighting about Cernavo19
for possession of the great DanuNe
span that forms the biggest bridge
in Europe and where for Gays the
Russian right wing is reported
from Petrograd to have partly
succeeded in turning Mackcnsen's
left flank, apparently has reached
its most critical stage.
Since the dispatches which told
of Cernavoda in flames and of
Constanza, where the German
Bulgarian extreme right has had
its base on the Black sea, fired,
only meager details have reached
here regarding the Dobrudja
clash.
Bulgars Slipping
Military experts believe the re-
suit at Cernavoda will depend
partly on the 50-mile forward
dash of Russo-Rumanians against
Gen. Falkenhayn's armies In
Pennsylvania far below the Buko-
winian border, where defensive
movements hive been succeeded
by a sledgehammer offensive.
Bulgars, reinforced after FRI
days Serbo-French successes on
the Cerna front, apparently have
failed to stem the advances, for
King Peters headquarters last
night reported further material
progress, including advancement
of the allied lines and taking CT
considerable booty.

the capitalists, he said: There
is another equally formidable
enemy to equality and better

is the class formed by the la
Dor organizations and leaders of
this country" In letter writ
ten January IL, 1909, he said: al
am a fierce partisan of the open
shop" In June of the same
year, speaking at Princeton, he
said: 1.-THE usual standard of

Betting on Hughes and Wilson is
dangerous both to Democrats and Re
pubicanS. In one of the New Eng
land states such bet was made a
few days ago. The officers heard of it
and they arrested the Republican on
a charge of robbery and sent the Dem

A surplus of So 100000 from the
postal service during the fiscal year

department more than paying ex-

LITERATURE NOW A BUSINESS
Days When It Was Considered an Art
Seem to Have Completely
Passed.

An editor read at the New York
Authors club a letter that had come
in that morning with a story.
"Oh, yes," he said, 1--WE get lots of
such letters. Literature becomes more
and more a business, and less and less
an art, every day.
"Dear sir the letter said, please
let ME know by return why you kept
my story so long and then returned it
all fingermarked up? try you on an
other story herewith, which I expect
to have better luck. Please don't take
me for a faker, but an honest, young
hustler, who is trying to fight the bat
tie of life. If you accept the story pay
me Il reasonable sum down, say, $50,
and the remainder years royalty and
bonus Then you can announce in all
the literary news columns all over the
country, for will stand by you in
toto, that you paid me $1,000 for the
story, which is the best of the year.
They will take this as a news item. /
will keep the real figure strictly secret
and you will do the same. Have a
shOrt history of my life wrote up, with
photo, and under photo the words,
The handsome young author who re-
ceived $1,000 for a few strokes of his
pen."'"

Take Only the Best.

"The best is none too good for me" J"
Keep that thought in mind until the
habit of claiming the best has become
fixed.
Some people have the idea that
cheap, sensational stories are good
enough for them, and so they fill their
minds with trash, while in the nearest
libraries the volumes of the worlds
choicest literature gather dust. They
say that ragtime is good enough for
them and cheaper their taste by lis
tening to the swing of some catchy
composition, when good music is to be
had for the same price. In effect they
say that second-rate people are good
enough for them, and they associate
with the coarse and unprincipled, pass
ing by those with clean lives and lofty
aspirations
Only the best is good enough for
you. That does not include big
houses and blazing diamonds, but it
does cover the finer, sweeter things of
existence. And the sad part is that
many who are satisfying themselves
with the husks, are tramping under
foot the sweet, nutritious grain.

RELIANCE ONLY ON MEMORY
zuIus, Having No Written Language,
Have Been Compelled to Cultivate
That Quality.

1t is said that the memory in savage
or uncultivated peoples is often trained
to q degree very surprising to those
civilized men and women who have
grown used to depending upon the
written much more than on the re-
membered word. The transmission of
whole epics, like the "Iliad," by word
of mouth no longer seems so incred-
ible when one reads of the feats of
memory of which present-day Zulus
are capable.
These people have no writing, and
are accustomed to transmit messages
and record events by memory alone.
This they can do because their mental
impressions are made especially dis
tinct by reason of their acquired or
inherited habit of giving undivided at
tention to the subject in hand.
Communications between the Brit
ish authorities and the Zulu kings are
almost invariably conducted by means
Of oral messages carried by natives.
A certain ultimatum addressed by the
British to CetywayO was conveyed to
him, not upon paper but in the brain
cells of the messengers whom he had
sent 80 miles to receive it from the
British commissioners.
Although the document contained
some 1000 words, and was accompa-
MED by some comment on the state of
things it was desired to remedy, the
whole was repeated to Cetywayo
with perfect accuracy.

Eat More Vegetables,

Tomatoes are so beneficial in their
effect on the liver that they have
been aptly styled the vegetable Gallo
mel" Celery is an excellent nerve
tonic and is good for people suffering
from rheumatism. Watercress is cred
tied with having tonic properties. We
have always known that parsnips and
carrots are good for the complexion.
The reason for this is that both vege-
tables contain arsenic, which has an
almost magical effect on the skin.
Onions are supposed to be without an
equal as nerve tonic, blood purifier
and general cleanser of the system.

it contains opium. Parsley is excel
