Quinsy, With Steel on the Side.

Quinsy is and abscess, a gathering
around the tonsil. OF course it is due
to an infection by pus- producing
odrinary sore throat or cold in the
head" or from carrier. In recur-
| ring quinsy the patient himself may
be the carrier, harboring the specific
infection in the cryptus or openings of
| a diseased tosl.
Like most sore threats and Colds" it
is really Independent of atmospheric
conditions, though n seasonal disease.
| 1t occurs chiefly in the late winter and
| early spring but not because of cold
weather. In the late winter and early
spring the victims natural resistance
| to his own or u friends contribution of
pus- producing germs is at its lowest
ebb, owing to prolonged confinement in
too warm enclosures. All respiratory
| infections are most prevalent in the
dawn of the spring. for the same reason.
Old-fashioned quinsy was mighty
severe illness. The patent endured
everything and then some for may
| be two weeks, until heaven took pity on
him and permitted the abscess to break
The modern quinsy isn't nearly so bad.
1t is served with sterile steel on the
side, and the steel is a great comfort,
testify. Why suffer for a whole week
or more, waiting for DR.. Nature to
bring relief, when the doctor right
around the corner can bring it in five
minutes? Lancing is comparable to
filling a tooth-no sane victim of tooth
ache hesitatcs about seeking intelligent
treatment.
The peculiar dead tones of the voice,
besides the extreme difficulty or i'm
possibility of swallowing, distinguishes
quinsy from ordinary sore throat. The
swelling is rather in the soft palate and
throat around the tonsil, on one or
sometimes both sides, and it is usual
ly in the soft palate inside of the ton
sill that the doctor sinks a shaft of
remarkably painless steel. Relief from
lancing is so marked, even when pus
is not yet formed or evacuated, that
many patients demand a repetition of
the assault even when the doctor is
diffident about it.
Salt pork, and worse, are amusing
diversions. but of doubtful value. Quin-
sy is serious disease and demands
personal medical treatment. not exper-
imentation. Plain cool moist compress

tide has turned the "rube" has made good; he now

The "rube" used to be the joke of the CITY. now
the city man on the farm is the Joke Of the coun

The average city on the farm is a real Joke.
Even the turnips seem to know him. The peas
fairly rattle in their pods with dcrsion as he struts
by the bees sting him: his cabbages turn out to be
c;f'lflowcrS; the thunder sours his milk: the
drought takes his corn; the rot kills his tomatoes
the rust ruins his wheat the hogs dig up his poa
Toes Everything goes wrong largely because he
doesn't know how and because he thinks that drop
ping in a few seeds and waiting for riches to grow
completes the work of the farm. After n year or

UNITED STATES LEADS
IN TRADE WITH RUSSIA
Half of Russia's Imports
Come From This Country.

Petrograd.-(By mail)-During the
past year. the United States led the
world among nations trading with
Russia. Complete figures. OF Russia's
imports for 1916 are not yet available.
but it is believed that they will show
that approximately half OF Russia's
total imports come from the United
States. '"ss ,.'.
The import figures are always given
out separately for European Russia
and Asiatic Russia. For the first
eight months OF 1916. the imports into
European Russia were as foalows:
From Great Britain, 2O1,50D,00O rou-
hles; from the United States. s180. 500,-
900; from France 6s.500.000 roubles:
from Japan. 23,5oo.00o roubles. BY
way Of Siberia, the following additional
importations were received, these fig
ures. however, being only for seven
months: From Great Britain. 5l.000...
900 roubles: from the United States.
236.OoO.00O roubles; from Japan, ILL.,
100000 roublcs.
On basis of these figures. the totals
for the year may be properly estimated
as follows for the whole Of Russia:
From the United States, 670.000.000
roubles: from Great Britain. 100000
900 roubles; from japan 2o0.000,000
roubles.
Apparently these figures do not in.

ARMENlA'S HELPLESSNESS.
(By John Masefield)


1t is easier to win help for lands like Belgium
and Serbia which have been the battlefields of th.
war than for those remotcr places like Armenia
where the suffering is by product.
Far away she is from the main conflict Ar
mcnia has suffered more in this war than any dew
astatcd land in Europe. She is like n victim met
by troops on the march and beaten and stabbed and
left to die. There is nothing in her misery to make
a headline or battlecry. 1t is just dumb suffering
lying by the road.
These people were not in the war. They were
hard working quiet Christian people too poor, too
helpless and too mild to be enemies to anybody.
One third Of the dead Of massacre starva
''oh and pest'lence and one-half of the remainder
are homeless and hopeless wanderers, dying in exile
| where nobody but the Americans can save them
We cannot, and enemies will not That they are
alive at all is in great due to your coun

SMALL RIVER SCHOONERS
Masters of Vessels on Potomac Fear
Difficulty May Be Had in
Finding Crews.

persons employed on vessels under

Gates allowing them to SO work. applies
TO the small -schooners employed in
freighting on the Potomac river and
other tributaries Of the bay as we'll as
to the big steamers.
The certificate contains six questions
that the applicant must answer. any
one of which will suffice. The first is
that he must produce a birth certih-
cate; second. baptismal certificate:
third. certificate that he is a registered
voter; fourth. officers or engineers
must produce their license obtained
from the federal steamboat inspection
service; fifth, affidavit from persons
known to officer who issues the sea-
mems certificate who can swear to the
birth of the applicant il the United
States; sixth, naturalization papers.
The applicant must produce three small
photos. which will be used to paste on
three certificates, one of which is held
by the applicant, one for the local Of
fee and the other forwarded to Wash
ington. The certificate is made out in
triplicate and on each is attached a
small photograph of the applicant.
Masters of vessels are much worried
by the new regulation. They say that
it has been difficult to obtain crews
and they fear the new regulation will
not take trouble to fill the certificates,
but will take up work ashore, where
positions that pay good wages can be

TALKS OF SONGS WE SING"
Secretary Baker Makes an Address
at Community Carnival.

The first community song carnival
was held yesterday afternoon through
out the country. Washington's cele-
bration was held in the auditorium of
the new Central High School. Secre-
tary of War Baker. who spoke of the
spiritualizing influence of song, said
that the American Army in France
would be forever known in history as
the singing army.
"The songs we sing said Mr. Baker.
ARE not hymns of hate, but songs of
our development and of our ideals
And with the spirit of those songs we
will fight our way TO victory"
The song carnival was opened by
MRS. David Allen Campbell, and the
singing of The Star Spangled Banner"
was led by Mrs. a. NJ Blair of the
Rubinstein Club. The French and Brit
ish national anthems also were sung.

Younger Persons Valuable.

There are many persons in the en-
ploy of this office who are from sixty
to eighty years of age, and it is OBJ
vious that in numerous cases the serv-
ices rendered are not as valuable as
would be the services of younger per-
sons. Their productive powers decrease
with advancing age, and this fact is
particularly noticeable in the opera
tions concerned in printing and bind
ing. Many of these employees have
given their best services to the gov
ernment for twenty or thirty years
and wish to again invite attention of
Congress to the necessity for legisla-
tion looking to the retirement of these
persons
on behalf of the government for the
faithful and efficient service rendered,
without which the splendid results for
the year would not have been accom-
pIished."
