HEROINE OF SERBIAN BATTLEF|ELDS'
BY G. KAY SPENCER

One of the bitterest contests chron-
icled during the great war has for lis
setting that bleak region surrounding
Gornitchevo aad Kaymakohalan, in the
Serbian campaigns to defend their lit
tie country frsm the Teuton octopus.
In the Serbian ranks were many
heroic women who dressed like the
men and fought as unselfshly. But
we are to tell ABOUT q little woman
a Scot-who ex.ied herself from her
native hills o. old Scotland to march
over hard frozen ground powdered
with wind-dri 5e1 snow ON the hllls or
Serbia.
Her claim t. Xame would very prom
ably have n.-yer been differentiated
from that OF saany another woman
trudging in The Serbian ranks had
she not been eist by fate into a mill
tary hospital s3dlntained by the Brit
ish on that fitit.
In the ear winter that saw the
beginning of gA.e drives which pushed
the Bulgaro-3ermans back to the
mountain knCTn as Hill No. 1912, this
little ScotchNo1nan was carted to the
base hospital with her whole right
side, from the shoulder to the knee, a
mass Of torn flesh and shattered bone.
Miss Flora Sands-for that is the
name of this intrepid Scotswoman-
began working in Serbia as a Red
Cross nurse early in the war. Her
sympathy became so aroused by the
sufferings and heroism of the people
that, when the hospital units were
broken up during the great retreat of
October and November, 1915. she So
licited and obtained permission to en-
list as a private soldier in the real
guard that protected the r~etreating
army. Before that army reached the
Adriatic she had won promotion. Be-
come Sergeant Sands, she stood high
in the regard of both officers and
men of the crack regiment to which
she still belongs. On the Macedonian
front she went through the whole of
the arduous and successful campaign
that began IN September IL.

KEEP BEAUTY OF ROADSIDE
Some Towns Appreciate the Value Of
Permitting Flowers and Shrub
berry to Grow on Highways.

In many a charming countryside the
town road-destroyer with his bush
scythe gamers the beauty and leaves
bleakness, a singularly unkempt re-
suit of an attempt to clean up.
Sometimes it is the village improve
ment society itself, meaning well, that
sends him forth, says the Boston
Transcript. More often it is his indi-
vidual sense of responsibility to the
office whose salary he is expected to
earn. He, too, means well, and would
be greatly indignant if told that his
labors tended to drive prosperity away
from his district. Yet such is without
doubt the fact. The ummer visitor
loves the country for it's wild tangle,
its untrammeled growth, it's bOsky
dells and its friendly %shrubbery which
crowds into the road itself, Haunting
dewy fragrance in his face as he
walks. When the day comes that he
returns and finds in place of these
along his accustomed walks dry brush,
bare stubble and clumsily unkempt
cleanliness, his soul revolts and on
the morrow he seeks fresh woods and
pastures new. Some country towns
seem to have 4 realizing sense of this
purely utilitarian side of the value of
roadside beauty. They build good
roads, but they take care to leave the
roadside growth untrammeled that
those who pass may enjoy it. 1t is a
business asset.
There is more to it, too, than the
fact that sentimentalists and nature
lovers come to worship this beauty,
The school children of such Q town
go to school along roads lined with OBJ
ject lessons not only in beauty but in
natural science, lessons which they
learn without knowing it and which re-
main with them all their lives.

It was in the decisive assaults on
the highest crest of Hill No. 1912 that
Miss Sands active career was sud-
denly cut short. How this happened
let her relate in her own words:
I'VE had been crouching in our
shallow pits for hours. waiting i'm
patiently for the order TO attack. At
seven o'clock in the morning the or
der anne 1t was showing and the
snow lay on the ground. l was out
Of my pit in half q second, and run
ming as fast as my legs would move.
| am always the first to leave over.
1t is my duty as a non-commissioned
officer. But, unfortunately, l am not
so nimble as most of my men. So it
happens that l am generally among
the last to reach an enemy trench.
Well, l had nearly reached the brink
of the Bulgarian trench in which our
men were already at grips with the
defenders. l was n of a small group
of laggards-perhaps half a dozen
when a well aimed grenade fell in our
midst. A couple of men besides my
self were in the radius of its explo-
sion and fell wounded, but l seem to
have got most of the scatter"
So this Amazon tells her story.
Simple it is and self-denying, for a
number of her brother officers have
stories to tell of the engagement
which considerably elaborate upon her
terse recital.
In the military hospital of Camp No.
Al she was the only patient of her
sex. The camp had accommodation
for sixteen hundred sick or wounded,
and there is n heavy percentage of
women among the Serbian armies.
A few days after her admittance
into the hospital n royal aide de camp
came to her bedside and, on behalf Of
the prince regent of Serbia, pinned to
her breast, with much ceremonial, the
gold and silver cross of Kara-George-
a rare badge that is given only for
conspicuous bravery on the field Of
battle.

Landseapina Fundamentals

Every owner of a bit of soil should
make a limited study Of the art of land
scaping so that fundamental mistakes
r not made. First, do not plant your
space all over, as though it were an
orchard. Leave an open center for
lawn or even a bare soil and plant
only about the borders and in varying
widths. Never cumber the center with
trees or shrubs. Mass the planting by
placing many of a kind together; do
not space regularly so each will appear
lonely or have an orchard effect. 1t
matters little if they grow together in
a mass-nature so disposes them. This
effect is more necessary in shrubs than
trees but even trees should interlace.
In a small garden some or even ali OF
formality must be had but in a place
of size we need little or none. In the
large places we should avoid straight
lines. If n will follow these few sim
pie rules he cannot go far astray In
planning his own garden.

ings Of City Prevents Selfish and
Thoughtless Mischief.

Of course, in the business sections
Of a city the front parkings are i'm
practicable and even many shade trees
are often not desirable, the attractive
ness of the streets depending entirely
upon the architectural beauties Of the
buildings and the cleanliness and good
repair of house fronts, sidewalks and
pavements, but in residence sections
the beauty depends as much upon the
condition of the surroundings as upon
the houses themselves, and especially
upon the flower beds and lawns dur
ing at least a part of the year.
1t is often very annoying and dis
cOuraging to the owner of beautiful
flower beds in the front yards, which
have been cultivated to a state of high
perfection by constant care and siren
uous effort, to have their beauty
married or destroyed by mischievous
children or covetous adults, who often
pluck the flowers and break the plants
with seeming impunity. The children
should be taught to find pleasure / n
looking at the flowers without pluck
ing them and an ordinance making it q
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine, to
pluck or injure flowers or plants in
the yards or p~arkings of others, would
be very useful, to restrain adults from
their selfish and thoughtless mischief
and keep them from being aggressive
enemies of the city beautiful.
The back yards, however, protected
by fences and gates, are usually safe
ground in which the lover of beautiful
flowers may employ his taste, knowl-
edge an, judgment and expend his eff
forts to produce results that will af-
ford pleasure to himself and his house
hold, as well as to his neighbors.

Shipments of the tea herb to the Unit

Duty of Public In Wartime
BY DR.. SAMUEL q. DIXON.
Commissioner OF Health Of PennsylVa MIA

1t would seem as though the general
public ought to be fully Informed on
most of the horrors of war, judging by
the amount that is printed on this sub
ject. Nevertheless, there Is apparent
ly one phase that Is no generally APP
preciated. l refer to the danger from
communicable diseases acquired dur
ing the hardships of a soldiers Fife,
especially If he happens to be taken
prisoner and is thus exposed in con-
finement with hundreds of his mates.
These diseases are carried from place
to place wherever soldiers are trans
ported, and often, when soldiers are
invalided and sent home, they bring
these communicable diseases with
them to distribute among the civil
population.
Already we have felt the lack of
enough physicians to protect the health
of the people at home, and the health
officer is somewhat at a loss to know
how to enforce his health measures.
The only solution of the problem is
for the individual to give time and
attention to taking care of himself.
He must put himself in a receptive at
titude toward the suggestions of the
sanitary officer, even though he may
think some of the suggestions so
trifing as not to be worthy of serious
consideration. There is n thing sure,
and that is that he will consider 1t a
serious matter If the disease warned
against should happen to come his
way.

Time Needed to
Fatten Poultry

The question is often asked: How
long does it take to fatten poultry
properly?
The time required to fatten chickens
and other poultry for prime market
finish depends largely upon what kinds
of feeds are given and the range of
the birds during the fattening period.
If the birds are allowed TO run at
large and range freely the fattening
period is much longer, and in some
cases with wide range the birds will
never become in prime market condi-
ton, no matter how literally fed. The
reason for this is that the birds in
walking and roaming owe wide areas
take too much exercise, and feed that
under other conditions would go to
form flesh and fat goes TO furnish
muscular energy, which is lost so far
as fattening is concerned.
In the case of turkeys, which are
semiwild birds, a limited range for the
birds is necessary, especially In early
and late fall, when insects, wild seeds,
green clover and grasses are still to be
secured. Turkeys will grow and take
on flesh as long as these wild feeds on
the open range can be secured freely.
However, as cold weather comes on it
is best to supply turkeys with corn and
other feeds they Will eat close TO the
barn and poultry quarters, so that they
will roam as little as possible as the
marketing period approaches. They
will not bear confinement and forced
feeding like other kinds of poultry. In
very close confinement they will worry
off more flesh and fat than they will
put on, as n rule.
With chickens, ducks and geese it is
economical to confine them closely and
feed heavily a few days before mar
keting. The confined birds should
have all they will possibly eat of mixed

A Friend in Need.

One day, at an Irish seaport, a ter
rible fight was taken place on the pier
between a Newfoundland dog and a
mastiff, when suddenly both fell into
the sea below. The Newfoundland, of
course, did not mind this mishap and
at once swan to the shore without
any difficulty. AS Dol as he landed,
he looked around and saw the mastiff,
who could not swim, being quickly
carried out to sea. The noble dog,
instead of rejoicing over his enemy's
misfortune, plunged into the water,
took the drowning creature by the col
lar. and keeping his head above water.
towed him safely to shore. After this
the dogs were known to be the best
of friends and never to quarrel again.

NOT ONLY INSPIRATION LOST
Error of Ralph Waldo Emerson Left
Better Half Mourning Loss OF
Costly Hair Ornament

In the days of Ralph Waldo Emer-
son matches were not sold loose in
boxes, but were made up in "cards,"
as they were called, of a dozen or so,
connected by a common wooden base,
from which they were broken Off as
necessity required.
Emerson, so the story goes, used to
place a fresh card Of matches on a
table by his bedside every night, to-
gether with a candle and some writ
ing materials, in order that he might
lot down at once any valuable thought
that came into his mind during the
night watches.
One night he Weakened with a par
ticularly brilliant idea and bethought
himself at once of his canny prepara-
tons for such emergencies. Reaching
out, he grasped his card of matches,
broke off the outer one and struck it
sharply on the under side of the table.
1t failed to ignite. Swiftly he struck
the next and the next, but with the
same result.
Even so great a philosopher began
to grow a little annoyed. Slttlng up
in bed, with grim determination he
broke Off one match after another
until the card was gone. Not n gave
the faintest spark.
By that time the idea was gone, too,
and so his only was to lay
himself down again to ponder owe a
new problem, to-wit: "Why wouldn't
those matches light?"
Whatever his solution was, however,
it probably had to be revised the next
morning, when he was wakened by a
startled cry from his wife.
"Oh, what can have happened to my
best tortoise shell comb?" she said. Il
left it on the table at the head of the
bed last night, and this morning it's
in ENTHUSIASTICALLY Companion.

Never Too Many Parks.

Some things are never enjoyed IN
C They never breed regrets, says
an exchange. Who ever heard Of a
city that learned, as it grew from
youth to maturity. that 1t had too
many parks? Where is the munich
pality that is sorry it has so many
pleasure grounds for the use Of its
citizens? Was there ever a town which
felt that its children enjoyed too much
room for their play, its invalids too
many quiet hooks for rest and recuper-
alton, its aged and infirm more than
sufficient outdoor space for their spe-
cial wants2
