BREAKING 1T GENTLY
TO BEREAVED SPOUSE

Speaking of breaking the news
gently. the story is told of a we'll
shooter who operated in the oil fields
in Southwest Kansas ten or twelve
years ago. While he was going from
one we'll to another with a load of
nitroglycerine the wagon fell over
the side of bridge and landed on
the rocks fifteen feet below. The
well-shooter, his wagon and his
team were Immediately distributed
over the surrounding country.
A friend. who happened to see the
accident. felt that he ought to notify
the unfortunate we'll shooters wife,
but he wanted to break the news as
gently as possible. He called her up
over the telephone and said:
my opinion is, Mrs. Loop. that
your husband won't get back home
in time for supper and reckon you
might as well not wait sor him."
(which way did he go?" asked
Mrs. Loop.
"Well. ma'am." said the tool
who was breaking the
news, che was goin' purity nigh

why YOU ARE NERVOUS

The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin-
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to breakdown.
To correct nervousness, SCOTS Emul-
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. 1t is free from alcohol.

HAIL, KING COTTON!
GOOD FOR MANY THINGS

Washington, Feb. 5.-In antici-
patton of the expected attack by the
United States on the legality of the
action of tie Allied Governments in
pacing cotton on the contraband
list, the British Embassy has issued
statement here on behalf of the
British military authorities design
ed to show the extensive use of cot
ton for military purposes.
The statement points out that in
the form of guncotton quarter of a
pound of the staple is required to
produce one pound of ballistite cor
dite requires four-tenths of a pound
of cotton for pound, and the nitro
cellulose powders in military use con-
sst practically entirely of guncotton.
Other military uses of cotton men
toned are in the making of clothing,
sheeting, tents, ammunition bags and
mining explosives. In conclusion, it
is declared that even if substitutes
for cotton were possible, the fact that
it can be used for military purposes
justifies the classification as contra
band.
From semi-official sources recent
ly has come the report from Germa-
ny that cotton no longer Is used by
the Teutonic powers in the manufac-
ture of explosives, cheaper and
more desirable substitute having
been DEVELOPED from wood pulp.

Figures Show Losses To
Be Enormous.
THE COST Per FOOT OF GAIN
Is In Thousands = Intricate
Problem To Figure Out
the Total Loss.
RESOURCES HEAVILY DRAINED

Paris, Feb. 4.-The prolongation
complicating remarkably the work
of the statistician. The man who is
fond of figuring out what given cir
cumstances will produce in all sorts
of occasions began h calculations
on the supposition that all would be
over within few months. After
the few months passed. he began to
figure on a year, and again he had
to revise his figures.
The most instricate problem that
he has been working on Is what will
be the total destruction in value of
the men killed and men disabled for
life. Statisticians working on this
of the Crimea in 81, when Proud
of the Crimea in $Gl when Proud
hon estimated the value of a mans
life at 10000 francs $4,000. Since
then writer's ON this subject have
for the most part discredited the ar
bitrary figure and have valued the
life or services of a man according
to his producing capacity. Foville
made the far more moderate esti-
mate of $500 as the average value
of the men killed in the war of
1870.
Coming down to the present time.
Yves Guyot considers that a mans
salary or wages represent no more
than half of the value of the produc-
ton to which he contributes, and
starting from that basis he figures
that during the first six months of
the war France had lost $4,000, 00O.-
900 through the disappearance and
disabling of producing men. On the
same basis the loss to date would
be $4,000, 1000, but other writer's
contest the soundness of the basis
on which these figurfes are produc-
ed. If the workman, on a salary of
50 per day, may be considered worth
from $1,000 to $4,000, the engin-
eer, who earns $40 per day, may be
considered worth 100000, and if
these figures were taken in view of
the heavy losses in officers, the total
would amount, perhaps, to double
the statistician's figures.
An officer at the front, taking the
legal value of a human being as
fixed by law, at $4,000, calculated
the cost per square yard of ground
reconquered from the enemy in a
certain attack at $4,000.
Monsieur Eugene d'Aichthal, of
the Institute and member of the So
ciety of Statisticians of Paris, re-
fuses to accept the basis of any of
the calculators who have figured on
these results up to this time, and is
of the opinion that in view of the
many opportunities for differences
of circumstances and faulty bases,
no figures worthy of serious consid-
Grafton will ever be reached.

IF IL takes two years TO travel from
/ East Fiftv-seventh Street to West
Forty-frst Street, how long Will 1t take
TO Get back home? The Washington
Square Players, who have just covered
the distance aforementioned, are of the
opinion that il will take a longer time
than they, youthful as they are, can
count on living. They formed their or
ganization in the shadow Of Washing
ton Arch, and nothing could induce
them to change their name, but Tor
long time to come, thank you, they VIII
be more than willing to remain at the
Comedy Theatre, into which they have
just moved.
It was Wednesday night when the
curtain rang down at the Bandbox'
where The Players have been since
their organization year ago last FEB
ruary. William Pennington, stage man
ager. hesitated after the curtain had
gone up three times for The Play
ers to bow their farewell. He knew
there was a hard nights work ahead OF
them. For one thing, they had to get
all their belongings out of the theatre
For another thing, they had to eat
supper next door," at the invitation OF
the proprietor For still another thing,
they had to dance at the Fifty-seventh
Street restaurant. But the applause
continued, so "Penn" sent the curtain
up again and again.
Grace Griswold, house manager, had
offered a prize to the actor or actress
who would be the first to leave. Flor
ence Enright would have won it, for her
suitcase and her makeup box were
soon outside her dressing room door.
But she wandered out on the stage,
where she has played in every bill The
Players have given. That was her IN
doing. There were TOO many things to
remember and to chat about.

thing" said Philip Mocller, as he
dashed across the stage laden with
props. "Most Of these things we're
talking about were funny, and now they
seem to make us sad"
Finally all the dressing rooms we're
cleared, and some one held the stage
door open for The Players TO file out
the last time. Then Walter Frank
held back.
