The news that the British forces OPP

against Turkish trenches gives special
interest TO q communication to the Ma

"There are almost as many varieties
of camels as horses. The Arab name

treat Patient Writes.

T.. L. Guilford Of North Adams,
Mass, writes to the Springfield Re
publican as follows:
4" As the husband of Mrs. Hattie
Guilford, whose name has been prom
inently connected with the proposed in
vestigation of the retreat for the in
sane in Brattleboro, VT, | desire TO
contradict certain statements regard
ing the matter that have appeared in
your paper. In Your issue of February
3 it is stated that the nurse accused
Of having beaten Mrs. Guilford, later
came to Pownal with her and spent
several weeks at her home. This is I'M
true. The nurse who came had nothing
to do with the care of Mrs. Gullford
while She was at Brattlehoro, but was
engaged at an entirely different part Of
the institutions | wish also to state
that Mrs. Guilford denies that she ever
assaulted the nurse who attended her
but says she tried to prevent the nurse
from taking some of her property from
her room in the retreat. Following
this attempt Mrs Guilford says she
was beaten by the nurse.

they have a small girth, almost like
that of a greyhound. Their slender
legs bulge with muscles as hard as

"To run short of water half way
across the desert is a very serious prop
osition which the natives overcome by
killing a diemel or ordinary camel,
and drinking its blood after it has
cooled and the froth at the top, which
Arabs claim is poisonous, is skinned
off. The water found in the stomach
is also drunk.
"A terrible custom used to prevail
among certain tribes of the Sahara
Before starting on a razzia or war
path, old camels of not much value
were kept from drinking as long as
possible, and just before starting out
were allowed to drink their fill; then
according to the Arabs, their tongues

tendons and nerves were severed
