NEW YORK--A thousand deaths q ion of 35O,00O in the Lebanon Noun tains near Beirut, Syria, is the toll of the war, it was declared today by the Reverend William II. Hall, of the syrian Protestant College, who recently returned to this country from relief work in that district.
 Continuing Mr. Hall described the tragic disappointment of the people there. whose spirits were kept up for weeks by the promised arrival last Christmas time of the American relief ship Ccasar, which would have meant life to thousands but which never ar rived owing to the refusal of Germany and Austria Hungary to grant her safe passage to Beirut.

PRINTING WOOD CARDS.

The Courier turned out this
week a unique business card for
Col. c. l.. Walker. The card is
made of a three-ply sheet of the
famous Mengel veneer and is
very little thicker than the ordi-
nary paper card, although it is
composed of three thin sheets Of
wood glued together. 1t has one
advantage over our best card
stock-in case il gets soiled the
card can be washed with soap
and water without any danger OF
damaging il. If paper prices
doesn I drop soon, we may be
forced to print the Courier ON a
2-ply veneer - it would be as
cheap, and far more durable than
news print paper.

of rough talk will be heard less
here in town if people troubled
with corns will follow the simple
advice of this Cincinnati authori-
ty, who claims that few drops
of drug called freezone when APP
piled to tender, aching corn or
hardened eallus stops soreness at
once, and soon the corn or cal
hls dries up and lifts right off
without pain.
He says freezone dries imme-
diately and never inflames or
even irritates the surrounding
skin. A small bottle of freezone
will cost very little at any drug
store, but will positively remove
every hard or sore corn or cal
LUIS from ones feet. Millions OF
American women will welcome
this announcement since the In

duetion of 10 per cent, and mer-

per cent, while annual premiums
are reduced 20 per cent in all
towns of the first five classes,

These reductions are made in

miums and five-years policies fol
the price of three annual pre-
miums. Hereafter three year pol
icies will cost two and a half
years premiums and five year
policies will cost four years pre-

per cent ON the annual premium
will leave the three year policies
at practically what they cost

/ 1t isn't crossing the ocean,
And facing the hardships we fear
1t isn't the dread of starving,
Nor the sting of the farewell tear
It isn't the whine of the bullet,
AS it passes our body or head;
1t isn't the thought of dying
For none of these things we dread,
It's you friends back home, we are
leaving,
And the thoughts of the suffering
you'll do,
And the tears you'll she'd while we're
fighting,
Although we plead with you not to,
We know when our mail is delayed
some
You'll give up and think we are
dead;
These are the worries Wen have
friends,
These are the things ven dread.
But why borrow trouble beforehand,
Just look on the bright side of life;
And pray to the One who is able;
To lead us Ease through the strife,
Don't think that its hard we must
leave you,
But think how Heroic instead;
And we'll pull through with smiles on
our faces
For then We'll have nothing to
Dread.
