WARM In
TRENCHES
Steam Heat Drives Away Tenors Of Win

Of Sweets Sold as Christmas
Gifts
BY ALICE ROHE.
U. P. staff correspondent.


ROME, Dec. 26.-(By mail. )-Italy's
boys in the trenches had royal
Christmas. Best of all their Christmas
gifts was Christmas dinner in steam
heated trenches. With their modern
trench improvements they had the
best of it over some of the girls they
left behind them. For sunny Italy has
the coolest interiors and the poorest
heating facilities in all the world In
the trenches, however; up where the
snow is heavy and the rains are freez-
ing in the mountains, the steam heated
trnches are driving away the terrors
OF winter campaign.
The sending of gifts to soldiers at
the front was one of the most touch
ing of all Christmas activities. Every
one wanted to send something. A
poorly clad woman entered one of the
stations where special boxes of
sweets. ready for sending to soldiers,

to send some little comfort TO some
other mothers boy" She bought
small package of sweets for sixteen
cents and some mothers boy must
have felt different quality in that
dearly purchased remembrance.
The order that chocolate and sweets
couldn't be sent to soldiers at
the front caused such wall that par
lament decided to change the order.
The order had been given because of
the fear that poisoned sweets from
suspicious and concealed quarters
might reach the soldiers. Enough evi-
dence had come to the ears of the
authorities to warrant this action. 1t
was this same fear that resulted in the
public cigar and cigaret collection sta
tions being abandoned. The oppor
tunity for enemies sending poisoned
cigars or cigarets offered too strong
a temptation to evil minds.
The discovery of poisoned tobacco
brought the decisive order. Thousands
of cigars were destroyed and the
order was that thenceforth only money
would be accepted to buy cigars from
supply stores.
At Christmas time the bars were

WITH ONE SHOT
BY CARL w. ACKERMAN.
U. p. staff correspondent.


BERLIN, Dec. 19.-(By mail. )-Out
hunting today with the American mill
tary attache in Berlin, Colonel Kuhus,
Ambassador Gerard killed two small
deer with one shot, the colonel on the
other hand, fired two shots without
hitting a deerl
Did Gerard's friends not know that
he was an expert crack never-miss-an-
aim rifleman, they would think this an
accident, but this is the second time
this winter that Gerard killed two
deer with one shotl Today it hap
pened thus:
Gerard and the colonel went out to
the ambassadors game preserve near
Berlin Two small deer appeared.
Gerard fired at one. The bullet went
through its heart, struck rib, glanced
out the side and went through the sec
ond deerl More game appeared and
the officer took a shot and another
shot, but the deer disappeared.
On their way home Gerard decided
he would like to bag a duck for dinner
because Mrs. Gerard's mother is visit
ing here and likes duck. 1t was dark.
The ambassador spotted one, fired and
bagged it. But when he got it home
it was too old to eat.
That's what / get for shooting
ducks at night, remarked Gerard smil-
ingly when he reached the embassy.

BILLY SUNDAY M
BY THE REV. CHARLES STEELE
1t may seem presumptuous to say
that some day Billy Sunday and the
eVangeIists who follow his methods
will be put out of business-and this
isn't said with any intention of being
disrespectfUI to the evangelist, or be-
cause of a conviction that they are
not doing much good.
The eVangelists will meet their
fate because another and what is
undoubtedly a better method will be
found better for the churches and
better for the people who will be won
to the churches.
A Billy Sunday campaign in a town
like Kansas City will cost about $40,-
900, besides what the evangelist gets
something like 100000 more, And
the members added to the church as
a result of the campaign will num-
Der perhaps 5000.
But in Indianapolis, about the size
of Kansas City, the ministers decid-
ed they would not have an outside
evangelist, preferring to conduct
their own meetings, being organized
through a live church federation
the whole thing run by "home folk"
The first year the churches re-
ceiYed $500 members, the second
1000 members, the third 5000 MEM
bers, and this year they are making a
drive for 10000 members! And the
church federation cost them only
$4,000 for the whole year!
There was another advantage in
the Indianapolis plan-the new mem
bers came in normally and gradual
", so the churches could take care
of them, directing them into various
kinds of practical work. This is al

ways difficult in an ordinary evan
geIistic campaign, because the work
of the church becomes so congested
that few men can successfully han
dle.it.
Furthermore, when the average
big evangelistic campaign closes
there is a slump in the feelings of
many of the Converts" who had be-
come accustomed to the 'sawdust
trail" and who are disappointed
when they walk down ordinary
church aisles, without accompani=
ment of the singing of the big cho-
rus. The regular preacher can't get
away with the stunts of the evangeI-
ist-if he tried it he'd lose his job!
There is still another cOnsidera-
ton. The thousands enrolled by the
evangelist had for the most part re-
ceiVed the training of Christian
mothers and faithful minister, which
had its effect when the evangelist
brought the Sinner" to his senses.
The credit doesn't all belong to the
evangelist! \
Also, the local people helped the
evangelist by working hard for
months before he came.
Healthy, permanent reform meas
ures we're worked out in Indianap-
oils by these churches; the ministers,
in the course of their regular work,
got bigger and better results than
an evangelist could possibly get. And
the plan has been successfully
worked in other cities-in Cleveland,
for example.

writer in an exchange. Because of it's
steel teeth and general harshness and
stiffness, the currycomb should never
be used about the limbs. There are
some people who can use it on the legs
and about the bony places of the
horses anatomy without irritating the
animal past all endurance. They are
softer-handed than most Of us.

it should be laid fat and carried lightly

Then take the brush and with it thor
oughly cleanse the hair and the skin.
After using the brush take damp
ened cloth and go over the surface, fol-
lowing this by rubbing with dry cloth.
In cleaning and grooming the head and
the legs use the stiff broomcorn brush,
clean with the hairbrush, and finish
the operation with the dampened and
dry cloths.

Property Loss Estimated at $4,000, 900
Towns Are StreWn With
Debris.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Aug. 22.-The
loss of life from the tropical storm
which struck Corpus Christi and ten
adjacent south Texas counties on Fri
day night, was placed at 13 on Sunday
including nine members of the crew
Of the smallfreighter Pilot Boy, which
foundered off the Arkansas pass jetties
Two Mexican men and one Mexican
woman were killed at Katherine, a
settlement on the King ranch. near
Alice, Tex, and one Mexican was re-
ported killed at San Diego. Both
towns are from fifty to sixty miles in
land.
The total damage in this section, of
which Corpus Christi bore the heaviest
part, was estimated at 100000. This
includes devastation Of large portion
of the lower coasts cotton crop, which
was ready to be picked.
The storm apparently already has
spent its force over southwestern
Texas, where comparatively little dam
age was done, according to reports
here.
G.. A. Gates of Dallas, general man
ager in Texas for the Southwestern
Telegraph and Telephone company, ar
rived at Corpus Christi from Rockport.
He says scarcely building escaped
damage and number, including the
city hall, were demolished.
