AIssE DEMoIs.

Aisse Demois was born in Circassia
IN 1889, and was purchased by the
Count de Ferrio1, the French am
bassador at Constantinople, when she
was a child of four years. He paid
1900 livres for her. The seller de-
clared her to be Circassian princess
She was a woman of great beauty
and the count took her with him to
France and had her taught all the
accomplishments of the day. She
sacrificed her innocence to her benz
factor, but resisted the splendid Of
fers of the Duke of Orleans. OF her
numerous suitors she favored only
the Cheva1ier Aidy, who had taken
the vows of Malta. Aidy wished to
obtain release from them, but Aisse
herself opposed the attempt. The
fruit of this love was a daughter born
in England. Becoming prey to
bitter remorse in later years Aisse
tried in vain to resist her passion and
sank under the struggle between love
and conscience. She died at the age
of 80.

AMERICANS CLIMB
MOUNT OLYMPUS

Athens Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED Press)-An American party,
including Secretary White Of the
American Legation and Messrs. Hill;
Blegen and Dinsmore of the American
School of Archaeology, has just return
ed from a notable trip, in which the
famous Mt. Olympus, 1884 feet, was
scaled to its highest summit and a Wis
it was made to that most curious OF
all republics, the republic of monas-
teries grouped about the mountain
side of Mt. Athos.
Climbing Mt. Olympus has long
been regarded difficult and danger
Gus operation, for beside the rock as
cent and the snowdrifts on the upper
heights. it was for years the home
of Greek and Turkish brigands. Since
the Greek government has been in
control brigandage has been held in
check, though six brigands were re-
Gently taken in that region after a
pitched battle with the troops.
The American party was provided
with a guard Of seven gendarmes,
which seem to have been effective
against the outlaw element, as no
sign of it was seen The ascent
took the best part of three days, and
the party passed the night in the
open on the highest summit. The
descent was made the following day
from the other side, sloping toward
the bay of Saloniki.

SWISS AFRAID
OF AMERICAN
DRAF | ARMY
Republic Much Relieved at
Failure Of Action by Con
gress on Question.

/Berne, Nov. 19.-The news, received
here by the American legation that
the United States Congress had ad7
journed without taking any action on
the proposal to require military ser
vice of foreigners residing in the Uni
ted States, has come as great relief
to Switzerland
Military service by Swiss in Ameri-
ca has not been a moot subject in the
Swiss press for weeks. A dozen pa
pers have discussed the question eau
tiously, taking pains. it must be said
in Justice to be carefully fair and to
weigh the whole problem effectively,
yet revealing an obvious anxiety about
the outcome.
With the strain removed for the
time being by Congress- postponement
OF the matter the tendency in political
circles is to admit frankly that any
law enacted in America to compel
military service from Swiss as yet un-
naturalized or with only their first
papers, would have an unfortunate
effect on public and official opinion
here.
Several journals expressed the view
that, while fully naturalized Swiss
could and SHOULD not expect to avoid
military service in America, the First
paper" citizen and he who had taken
out no papers at all. could not pos
sibly be drawn into the new American
army against his will.
An interesting feature OF the whole
campaign has been the fact that the
same question has been on the tapis
in Germany. The Swiss papers have
NOT faiIad tn rive nrnnar nroD1jnanC6
to the reports from Berlin showing
that Germany, pressed as it undoubt-
edly is for men, has decided not to
make inroads upon the rights of neu-
trails and even has declined to enforce
compulsory military service upon the
stthe men without a country'-those
who have lost or cannot obtain pass
ports from the countries they claim
as their own.

NERVOUSNESS
ON THE DECLINE
Doctors Encouraged, They
Hold Out Hope for All

Nothing wrong but my nerves"
We hear 1T at home, at work and
everywhere. Certainly, nervousness
is disease. A man or woman might
better have broken leg than a shat
tered, run down nervous system.
Overwork and worry drains the
nerve cells and centers of all their
strength and vitality, then you get
your sleepless nights, poor blood,
nervousness, worry and fear that goes
with a worn-out, broken-down ner-
vQus system. The better doctors OF
today know just what to do in cases
OF this kind. They know that few
weeks use of Phosphated Iron rarely
fails to strengthen, stimulate and
feed the Phosphate-hungry nerve CEN
tiers.
Phosphated Iron certainly does take
hold. The way the majority Of
patients come back is remarkable.
You can almost see their nerves grow
steady, strong and peaceful.
What change in appearance, too.
The cheeks become filled out and
flushed with the healthy ruddy glow
that only pure, red, ironized blood
can give, eyes sparkle, their step has
the spring and swing Of youth and
their whole system seems to be alive
with energy and good spirits.
Mr.. Nervous Man or Woman,
Phosphated Iron will do all this for
you If you will give 1t chance. Do
not drag around, all in and half dead
another day when help is so near.
Get busy; and be live one once
again.
To insure doctors and their
patients getting the genuine Phos-
plated Iron we have put in capsules
only, SO do not allow dealers to give
you pills or tablets. Insist on capsules.

Fec CONTEST

Weather conditions during the first
half of November have been. almost
ideal for getting the new laying con-
test started. Temperatures have not
been unseasonably low and there has
not been single cloudy day during
the month. Every poultryman knows,
of course, that such conditions are a
distinct advantage in getting new
birds settled in a new place. The new
pullets laid more than 400 eggs In ex-
cess of the first periods production
or total of 1875 for the second week.
Cook & Porter's Buff Wyandottes
from Easthampton, Mass, were in
first place with yield of AZ eggs.
Hollywood FARMS White Leghorns
from Hollywood, Wash, got second
place for the week with produc-
ton of 80 eggs. Two. other pens of
Leghorns entered by Hilltop Poultry
Yards of Suffield, Conn.,, and J..
Frank Dubois of East Lynn, Mass,
tied for third place with 35 eggs each.
Two of the new pullets, namely, Bar
red Rocks 112 from Palenville, N. Y,
and Rhode Island Red 424 from Gro
ton, Mass, were the only ones that
made perfect Individual scores for the
second week.
The matter of mash consumption is
one that does not yet seem to be fully
understood and appreciated by all
poultrymen. In general hens prefer
scratch grain but there are two inn
portant reasons for coaxing them to
consume as much mash or ground
feed as possible. In the first place
mash feed can be bought for $40 to
$25 per ton less money and in the
second place it is the richer part of
the ration and is essential to "a good
egg yield. During the past two weeks
the pullets in the contest have been
induced to eat from two to three
times as much mash as grain. AL
though the birds have been fed hard

LEAD POISONING.

Cases of chronic lead poisoning in the
State have again called attention to the
dangers of using lead piping, according to
the State Department of Health. Every
year from one hundred and fifty to one
hundred and seventy-fve samples of
water sent to the laboratories of the State
Department contain lead. Maine waters
In general are more corrosive than the
waters of some States and they have a
greater tendency to dissolve the piping.
There are two features of lead poison
ing that often surprise the users of we'll
water. One is the sudden appearance or
considerable lead in the water when prac-
tlcally none has appeared for years. The
other is the fact that some persons will
be affected by the lead while others do
not seem to be susceptible. The danger
is, nevertheless, always present for the
users OF water that comes through lead
pipe.

Oldest Bank In Spain.

England has been the banking nation
Of the world for many years, and Lon
ION, until very recently. was the worlds
financial center. That honor for more
than a year has devolved upon New
York. The first bank in England was
established by Francis Child, a London
goldsmith, who died October 4, 1713.
This pioneer financial institution was
opened in 1868, and number of rival
goldsmiths soon opened similar con-
Germs. The mint in the Tower of Lon
don had been the depository for the
cash of the merchants until Charles l
seized the money as loan. Then the
traders began to deposit their cash
with goldsmiths in Lombard street.
The first bank in the world was estab-
lished in Italy in 1903 by Lombard Jews.
The oldest existing bank Is the Bank of
Barcelona, Spain, which was founded
in 1401.

EXCELLENT ADVICE.

To one who would 'do his bit" BY
economizing-as we all should-in the
use of wheat the proper way is to use the
best white flour but in the smallest
amount possible. Do not lengthen floul
by the addition of the bran, the germ. tbs
aleurone layer or other nom floury a rts
OF the wheat berry unless you are an in :
valid with sluggish intestines and need
something to increase peristaltc action.
The continued use of breads made from
Hours thus heightened will prove injuri-
GUS TO persons in active employment, and
In the worst cases may result in chronic
dysentary.
The Germans are extending their wheat
by the addition of these wheat offals of
low digestibility. But they are also using
powdered wood and other indigestible ma
terial for the same purpose. They do
this because with the exception of limit
ed amount of potato flour they have no
other materials to bulk the ration from
the limited wheat supply. Fortunately
America has large supply of two high
ly nutritious grains-corn and oats-that
are well adapted to furnishing a part in
bread making
Standard white flour can be profitably
and advantageously extended by the ad-
dition of high grade corn meal and high
grade oat meal or rolled oats from which
the bran and germ have been separated.
A highly nutritious and digestible bread
can be made by the use of two parts of
standard white flour and one part of corn
meal or oat meal, If white corn be used
the resulting loaf will be as white as that
made from standard flour.
The results of the nutrition studies made
years ago indicate that for people at
ordinary active occupations wheat bran,
corn bran and oat hulls are not economical
additions to human food and that they NAV
cause serious disorders Corn and oats are
both abundant and should enter largely into
the diet of those remaining at home from
the war, Standard flour is the best for
the normal purpose of all wheat products
1t can be made to go one-third farther by
the addition of branless corn meal or oat
meal Use these combinations on ''wheat-
less days" Or still better use them so .
far as may be every day.
1t is up to US to conserve wheat but we
waste 1t when we try to use bran and the
other wheat offals as food for man. /

The Soft Coal Shortage.

Unless there is a concerted effort to-
wards conservation, DR.. Garfield said, the
coal supply will not meet the require
ments of industry. War industries, he
declared, will be given first consideration
by the fuel administration in distributing
coal, and others will have to suffer,
though no list of non-essentials for which
coal is to be denied will be made up
Daniel Willard, chairman of the war in
dustries board, declared there could be no
business as usuap' in war times and
that some industries must suffer. The gov
eminent, he said, will endeavor wherever
possible, to transform plants making nom
essentials into munitions fac tories.
AS we understand the above it does not
apply to anthracite except that conserva-
ton is absolutely necess ary
