LONDON Maude's victor
AZ Ramadie in MesopOtamia was tn"
result OF a battle OF the Old pic'nr
esuue style. before the war q IN
action" swept the spectacular element
out f MoICIn warfare.
The ,in,emcnt which determined
the whole action was the sudden
swinging around Of the British right
until IL became the Ieft. and the en-
circIing movement Of the cavalry
which robbed the Turkish garrison OF
its la. free line CT retreat The idea
was admirably executed, but even
the staff stratCgists Of the British
army scarcely anticipated the sur
render OF the whole Turkish force
without a blow b. the waiting cav
airy.
The British witness. writing
from Ramadie, says in his account
Of the battle:
We captured Ramadie today. ana
| with II the whole Turkish garrison,
including its commander, Ahmed Bey.
and a number Of field guns. pom

"Our force III wed in two columns
on the night of September p from an
advanced camp on the Euphrates.
vest OF Feluja. one column on the
rIekt. the other on the left, and al
dawn they attacked Mushaid Ridge
. 10, line of dunes running north and
south from the Euphrates to the HaO
taniyah canal.
ITO clear the ridge and cross the
canal was our first objective. The
first knobs were quickly occupied. AT
dawn we bombarded the main crest
Of the ridge, but tbe.Turks had evac-
uated it.
We then changed our line Of at
tack. The right column was with
drawn, and swinging round west be-
hind the left column became the left
wing II the force. Our front, three
and a half miles in breadth, now lay
between the Habbaniyah canal on
the right and AZiziyah canal on the
left. at a point nine miles from the
Euphrates.
Our cavalry made a wide sweep
ing movement across the desert
round the right flank of the. Turks
and occupied n line I've miles west
of Ramadia. BY this move the Turks
we're cornered. Their only chance was
to drive in determined counter-at-
tacks and to break through before we
drew the ring in closer.
The expected attack began after
o'clock the next morning when thu
Turks tried to break through between
the cavalry and the river: The &C
ton continued for two hours till
dawn, when it degenerated into cas-.
ual aniping. The nearest Turkish
dead were found within SO + yards Of
the cavalry trenches. 80 a'fsss~-H
Soon after daybreak the infantry
column took up the attack again. and
carried the last outlying defenses of
the Turks on our left. An intense
bombardment was opened on the
Turkish trenches. ...-.'.= .&....:.
Our line of cavalry, far away west,
soon saw the dark masses Of the
enemy approaching and apparently
prepared for bloody battle The Turk
ish guns were silent, and white flags
went up all along the line. 1t was a
general surrender. Ahmed Bey, the
Turkish commander, who has been on
the Euphrates all through the cam
paign from the battle of Shaiba. in
March, 1915, and whose troops con-

WANT JOFFRE
TO BECOME ONE
OF IMMORTALS

PARIS, France-Belief that Mar.

months, but his reported deciination
to follow the rule OF the Academy by
announcing himself as candidate
appears 10 create situation re-
sembling deadlock.
The thirtyfour "Immortals" now
composing the Academy are said to
Be unanimously In favor of Joffre as
the first Of the six new members to
be elected. Everyone has talked
about the entuality-everyone but
Jeffre, and Il appears to be essential
that the reticent hero OF the Marine

declare their candidacy and II has
been the tradition that they should
cali upon the members to solicit

as q candidate for political office.
This Joffre has not done and II is
said that he viii not do II.
"Tbe Marshal has never had any
ambition to become an Academician, t"
said q close friend of Joftre." In
fact he asserts that he has no right
or tit& to the honor. Several of his
friends nave urged him to propose
his candidacy, but he considers that
there is no personal consideration in
the matter. that IL he we're chosen il
would be simply in honor OF the army
and that, consequently. personal soil.
citations or expressions Of personal
preference in the matter are not In

The question now is whether the

"Well, Mary, how did you like the
lesson at the Baby Club" said Helen
to her friend as they walked home
together, Very well only could not
agree with all that was said by the
speaker. Why, she said that baby
could not be by anything that happen
ed to the mother before it was born.
"Yes, but l believe that and l am
glad the old theory is exploded.
Mother says she used to be in per-
feet terror when she was expecting
a baby for fear she would get fright
ened or see some unpleasant sight
that would mark one of us children.
The neighbors would tell her that if
she craved strawberries and then
touched her body her child would
have a red spot, on it's skin, just the
shape of the berry and in a place
that corresponded with the exact
spot her fingers had touched her
own skin. So she lived in mortal
agony for fear she would forget and
touch her face when she was hungry
for Strawberries. Aren't you glad we
don't nave that to worry about"
asked Helen.
$50 you believe the lady knew
what she was talking about"
Certainly l do. l think all an ex-
pectant mother needs to consider is

HOME MAKING GETS ITS DAY
Arrangements Are Completed for q
Home Economics Short Course
for This Community.

Home making, prehaps the most
important business of this community
is to have its days here, five days in
fact.
During these days, March to
March 10 members of the extension
force of Iowa State colleges will con-
duct a short course in home economics
and give the women and older girls
of both town and country chance
to study the many every day prob
lens that arise in making and
managing a home. The course will
be under the auspieces at the Rose
Valley Community Short Course.
There is nothing of the fad, either
in home economies or the short
course. No line of extension work
in Iowa is more popular and all the
year round il is in demand in every
section of the state. In some towns
the lecturers and demonstrators
have been obliged to return two and
even five times to give a continue
ton of their work. The course is not
merely a cooking school, either, nor
is it intended to furnish amusements
for those who attend. 1t is a serious
school of instruction in all the many
subjects that go to make up home
making; Ii is based on the fact that
home making requires intelligence
and skill and that it is worth a study.
The work of the short course will
be conducted thru lectures and dem
onstrations. Especial emphasis is
placed on foods, clothing and care
of children. The study of foods in
cludes study of their composition,
their relation to bodily health, their
best combinations and ways of cook
ing and serving. Clothing is studied
with a view to securing health, COM
fort and economy. Children are con-
sidered with reference to their care,
their health and diet. Among the
general problems of the home, con-
sideration will be given to santa
ton, home furnishing for comfort,
beauty, utility and economy, and the
care of the house. Some time will
also be given to the study of Woman's
right relation to the community well
fare
This short course might also be
called home ecomics conference,
for encouragement will be given to
women of the community who have
had wide experience to present their
viewpoints in informal discussion.
The sessions will be held at the
farm of Miles Gardner

FARMERS MAKE APPLICATIONS
FOR LOANS, TOTAL 800, 900

With applications for more than
100000 for loans, made to Gus
toms Collector LOOMS, the success
of the Omaha Land Bank is already
assured. This shows the keen in
terest in the Land Bank and gives
much food for thought for those who
have been pessimistic regarding the
Loan Banks.
These applications do not include
by any means all who seek to take
advantage of the act II is a very
small proportion of those who have
made application.
That the Omaha Bank is to be the
biggest and best bank in the chain
is freely predicted. With it's wonder
full territory of Nebraska. Iowa,
South Dakota and Wyoming, the
Omaha Bank can hardly be anything
but the best. The announcement of
officers is being delayed but it is
stated the appointments are liable to
come at any time now.

EASY LESSONS IN
BABY RAISING
Prenatal Influence

her own personal health and the
baby will be alright at least as near
right as she can make it. Some
times physical deformities cause
cr;pples or there may be bad her
edity of feeble mindedness or other
mental defects but that is not caused
by scares or Strawberries"
You know my baby has
always thought he was marked by
my fretting before he was born. i
cried every day and was so unhappy"
and Mary made a weary face at the
recollection.
"You certainly must have been un-
happy and so was Jim and the poor
little baby if you cried every day.
No wonder the child was understood
and weakly. What were you crying
about?"
"Oh, don't know only it was my
first year away from mother and l
did not feel very we'll"
$50 your poor baby must suffer
because you lacked self control. l
don't mean to be harsh, Mary, but it
does seem to me a crime that girls
are not taught that il is glorious
thing to be an expectant mother and
that it is their privilege to give to
the world a splendid man or woman
as nearly perfect as II is possible for
them to produce. Thinking of this
world make them forget the little
discomforts. Then they should know
that the health and mentality of the
child is largely dependent upon their
own physical health and mental
poise during pregnancy and they
would make more effort to keep
themselves perfectly well"
Then you think my baby cries be-
cause it is not strong?" Certainly
next meeting of the Baby Club and
hear Dr. Smith talk on Infant Feed
ing"
There is one more thing that /
wanted to speak about. Mrs. Green
told me her boy is musician be-
cause she dwelt on the thought of
wanting him to be a musician for at
least an hour each day for the whole
nine months before he was born
What do you think of that" and
Mary's voice expressed satisfaction in
having a good illustration to support
her side.
Il don't believe her thinking made
the boy musical continued Helen.
His father and grandfather were
musicians and talent is often heredit-
airy and besides they are cultivating
the boys inclination. DR.. Margaret
Greene gave the best answer to this
question of prenatal influence that
l have heard lately. Some one
asked her opinion of it and she an
swered by pointing to, her twin girls
They are living refutation of
every theory l ever had concerning
prenatal influence for they are as
unlike as two children can be and
yet the prenatal conditions were
| identical"
But this is my corner we have
not half finished. Do come over soon"
| and Helen hurried home to Billy
Boy who was waiting at the window
| for her.
Things To Remember
A woman can not mark her un-
born babe by anything she has seen
/ or heard.
If woman falls or Injuries herself
it is possible to injure the child.
| An expectant mothers physical
health and material pOise should be
the first consideration in every house
hold.
Healthy parents are more apt to
produce healthy children.
Heredity and environment are
pretty evenly balanced in the making
of the average individual.

TT is exceedingly painful to have even the
tniest speck of foreign matter iodge IN
ones eve, for an almost invisible speck
ear make one thoroughly uncomfortable; De-
sides this. there is danger that tiny clnder'
acoarse grain of sand or a sharp, hard particle
may be the means of scratching the dehca'e
surface and causing permanent injury
The impulse to rub the eye should be re-
sisted. It only increases the irritation. Above
al things, a soiled handkerchief or cloth or
dirty fingers should not be used to try TO re-
move the obstruction.
Sometimes black speck can be seen and an
Oyer-enthusiastic friend will offer to remove 1t
bymeans of a needle, pin, or even knife blade.
Never allow anything like this, in the hands Of
an inexperienced person, to come near the eye
ball, as an involuntary movement might cause
severe injury.
Nature does her best 10 try to help out at
such a time by causing the tears to flow, and
the tears often wash the particle to the corner
Of the eye, where it can be wiped away. 1t is
when the offending matter works itself beneath
the upper lid that it is particularly hard to get
out. The lower lid can be gently drawn away
from the eyeball and specks removed from
there without great deal Of trouble.
One good way to coax the stray cinder from
its hiding place beneath the upper lid is to
take hold of the lashes of the upper lid and
pull the covering gently away from the eyeball
and down over the lower lid. Hold it there
while you blow that side Of the nose vigorously.
Then let 90 and observe results. Oftentimes the
einder will have been washed down beneath the
lower lid, from which IL can be easily removed
When the speck is attached 10 the upper I'D
itself the difficulty is a greater one. In that
case small eyestone, which you can procure
at the drug store and which should be washed
thoroughly in boiled water, or couple OF
grains of whole faxseed which have been
soaked in warm water few minutes, may De
inserted under the lid and the eye closed. Inc
continuous winking motion will cause the hax-
seed or eyestone TO move about, and usually the
cinder will attach itself TO this larger body ana
be removed with it.
II the location Of the speck can be deter
mined a very small strip Of perfectly clean
blotting paper can be moved gently about 10
tntrap the intruder. Sometimes a magnifyng
glass will help greatly in bringing the offend
ing material into view, for when dust speck
IL noistened IL Is almost invisible.
As soon az the irritating substance is re-
moved the eye should be washed out gently wlth
warm, salty water--half teaspoonful OF sait
70 cup Of water being plenty-or solution
OF borie acid-one-quarter Of teaspoonful OF
boric acid 20 a cup Of water being used Inc
eye should then be closed and something bound
over il 10 give the irritation a chance 70 De-
come allsyed.
II the fragment seems 10 have cut the eye
on ~ inbedded IN the corner no time shouio DO
lost In consulting a surgeon, as even tne shgh'-
sst cut may become the seat Of infection.

MINCED FOWL IN RICE CASES
To extend a small quantity of meat

like rice-is true economy. Boil in a
mixture Of milk and water about three
quarters of a cup of rice, and when
nearly tender steam until almost dry.
Season with a little salt the water in

When ready to serve scoop portion

parsley, stand the cups in pan of hot
water, cover over the tops with CREASED
