The Passing OF Ashland.

The City Of Providence, which is scquir-
ing some real estate in Scituate, purchased
the village Of Ashland something more
than . year ago. Ii is understood thai,
some time In the dim future, a large reser-
voir is to be completed and the present site
Of Ashland will be some thirty feet under
water. By that time however, the resi-
dents, it 10 hoped. will be safely and hap
PLY established in new homes aud will
perhaps have ceased to regret their en-
forced removal Those who can remem-
Der 20 years ago, will probably agree with
the statement that Ashland at that time
villages in Rhode Island. Nesting in a
picturesque valley, beautifully shaded by
fine Old elms, the houses we'll painted and
we'll kept, with flower beds in front and
vegetable gardens in the rear, it WAS
truly almost little paradise for the mill
worker, who was fortunate enough to find
employment there and sensible enough to
withstand the enticements Of larger manu-.
featuring centres. And there were such
kind Of mill workers, for on the Ashland
Manufacturing Company's psyrolls, have
been the names Of employees, who have
lived there in peace, plenty and content
ment for over 80 years. Fifteen years ago,
the Providence & Danielson Railway was
built through that section, passing within
few hundred feet OF the village, thus CIV
ing people cheap and convenient way Of
going to Providence. But finally came
the beginning Of the end. Ashland had
the misfortune to be in country coveted by
the City Of Providence. 1t must become
victim Of the "msrch Of progress" as ex-
emplihed IN the city's need Of gigantic
reservoir that will insure the citizens Of
Rhode Island metropolis against thirst for
the next two hundred and sixty-hve years.
So the village was purchased. and last
week the mill, which has been q steady
employer Of labor for the past 90 or 10
years, shut down forever. Its wheels have
ceased TO urn, its looms have stopped their
cheerful clatter and the employees, many
who are old IN its service, are now look ing
elsewhere for labor and homes. There IS
surely pathos about 1t all, which cannot
fail to appeal to those who knew this model
little village at its best. Poor Old Ashland,
the writer only wishes he could pen for you
an obituary as eloquent as your record OF
usefulness, industry and sobriety merits.

ILLINOIS MINE UNIONS

Work by Monday

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Oct. 19.-Mine locals
in Illinois who refuse to return to work by
Monday will have their local charters re-
voked by the Illinois branch of the United
Mine Workers of America.
Frank Harrington, president of the union,
who returned to Springfield late last night,
is sending out telegraphic instructions to all
miners to this effect today. Harrington
said the reports coming from the head
quarters of the union are encouraging. He
said the men who have been idle have de-
cided that their interests will be served
by their return to work, and they are
gradually doing so.
Industrial conscriptlon by the Government
looms up as a possibility unless the mer
respond TO the demands Of the Federal

MEADE MEN DENY COLD
RECEPTION AT HANCOCK
Refute Rumor by Expressions of
Pleasure Over Greeting
and Surroundings
CAMP HANCOCK, Augusta, Oct 10.


Rumors around Augusta and Camp Han
cock that the 1000 selectve service men
who arrived from Camp Meade Tuesday
we're not favorably received by the Penn
sylvanians was branded as false yester-
day by the men themselves. The report
that the men had been hissed by the guards
men had gained currency during the last
few days, while it is also current gossip
that the officer in charge of the troop move
ment was inclined to make an adverse re-
port to the War Department upon the
ception Of the men, claiming that no officer
of the regiments to which they were con-
signed was present. and that insufficient
preparations had been made for their
arrival.
All of the reports have been carefully
investigated and found by the camp au-
thorities in every case to be absolutely
without foundation. Press representatives
have also Joined in the Investigations, and
Yesterday interviewed several of the Meade
men. Every man approached spoke In
the highest terms Of his reception and ex-
pressed his delight in having been sent
here One man said IT'S so great down
here that I've wired my friends up there
to come on down"
Everywhere the men expressed them
selves as pleased with the transfer. and
that the fellows with whom they had been
bunked were a swell bunch of mixers.
The only complaint lodged by the men
| in connection with Camp Hancock is the
| lack of hot water and the outdoors camp
| ing At Meade they slept In wooden
| barracks and enjoyed the luxurles OF hot
| water in their baths. Here things are diff
ferent they are In camp instead of a
| cantonment and are subjected to real field
| conditions With the good and plentiful
| food the companions with whom they have
| been attached the climate and general at
| n,osphere of the camp the men are pleased
| and say that small matters Of inside lodg-
| ing and hot water are to be forgotten In
| view of the added advantages OF Camp
| Hancock.
The military parade through the streets
| of Augusta this afternoon was the great
est in point of men participating, in the
! history of the city. Eight thousand two

Palmer Tells Why He Is Alive

1t is not an uncommon thing for one
to feel quite safe within a couple of
hundred yards of an artillery concen-
tration. That corner of a village, that
edge of shattered grove, that turn in
the highway, that sunken road-keep
away from them! Any kind of trench
for shrapnel; lie down flat unless a
satisfactory dugout is near for protec-
ton from high explosives which burst
in the earth. If you are at the front
and a curtain of fire is put behind you,
wait until it is over or so around it.
If there is one ahead, wait until
another day-provided that you are
a spectator. Always bear in mind how
unimportant you are, how small fig
ure on the great field, and that If
every shell fired had killed one soldier
there would not be an able-bodied
man in uniform left alive on the con-
tinent of Europe. BY observing
these simple rules you may see sur

The Ladies of Paris

The ladies of Paris were the first to
rally TO the help of the government
during those early weeks of the war
when thousands of women were
thrown out of work or left without
support, and when the miserable ref
ugees came streaming in from Bel
GUM and the invaded districts of
France. The women in happier cir
cumstances opened and served in soup
kitchens, and emptied their ward
robes; it was said that for two years
after the war broke out not q woman
in Paris of even the wealthy class
had d superfluous garment to her
back. Just as / arrived, in May, 1916,
they were all getting new clothes for
the first time.-From "One American

are ascribable only to temperature and
humidity.
Now come certain medical scien-
fists who, while not claiming that stale
air is actually poisonous" assert that,
Independent of temperature and
humidity, 1t contains substances
which in some way, without produce
ing conscious discomfort or detectable
physiological symptoms, diminish the
appetite for food"
This assertion is based on expert
ments conducted upon several persons
who were kept in q room in which the
supply of fresh air, as we'll as the tenn
perature and humidity, were under
control.
The effects of ample ventilation and
no ventilation-with q constant degree
of heat and moisture maintained
were compared. After the subjects
had been kept in the room from two
to three hours luncheon made up of
weighed portions of known calorific
Cor t-producing) value was served
and the amount of food left uneaten
was weighed.
The test. say the conductors of it,
fully proved the diminishing effect of
stale air on appetite
