Blte of tne Camel.

Tie camel alone of all ruminants has incisor teeth in the upper jaw. which, with the peculiar structure of his oth- CT teeth, make his bite. the animals first and main defense, most formida- ble. The skeleton of the camel is full of proofs of design. Notice, for exam pie, the arched backbone, constructed in such way as to sustain the great est weight in proportion to the span of the supports. A strong camel can bear thousand pounds weight. although the usual load in Yemen is not more than 600 pounds.

 With this situation before us, we feel confident that the patriotism and loyalty of our men will not counten- ance any rash act which may seri- ously embarass the government, and give the impression outside our borders that this county is torn with industrial strife, and, therefore, easy prey to any foreign foe."
 Hot RetOrt From Chiefs.
 After they had seen the statement of the railroads, the brotherhood chiefs issued the following:
 "The nearly 300 chairmen of the transportating organizations meeting here today, representing a number Of the principal lines in the East, unanimously approved the compro- mise proposal presented to the mana gers last December in the hope of a peaceful settlement. The railroads, after having refused to accept settle ment of the eight-hour controversy, proposed by President Wilson last August, and after having refused to observe the eight-hour law enacted by congress, must accept responsibil- ity for the strike, should it take place. It is too late for them to now pose as uatriotis, hoping thereby to defeat the just contention of their employees. We have requested meeting with the conference committee tomorrow with the hope of effecting ;s peaceful se.- tlement"

FEDERATION WILL
 SUPPORT TRAINMEN

Washington, March 14.-Full CO., operation tc make the strike effective will be given by the American Fed eration of Labor if the railroads re- ject the demands to be made upon them tomorrow by the brotherhoods.
 No immediate sympathetic strikes are contemplated, federation officials said tonight, but the brotherhood chiefs are sure of protection and hearty support in every other way possible.
 Officials of the federation's railway department, representing more than 100000 shop employees, switchmen, telegraphers and maintenance of way laborers, not affiliated with the brotherhoods, conferred at length on the situation during the day
 Although no formal announcement was made, it was said the first move, if a strike is declared, will be an admonition to all union men not to offer their services to take the places of the strikers.
 President Wilson is ready to act promptly, should nationwide strike prove imminent after the conference between the representatives of the railroads and of the employees in New York tomorrow. Any action by him is expected to take the form of a de- mand, in the public interest, that the two sides settle their differences in view of the grave international sit uation. ...t.

AS OUT OF DATE
 AS HORSE CARS
Says Corn Rings, Plasters, Razor anI Eating Salves arc Taboo
 Now.

Good things should be passed along. It is now said that a few drops of a drug called freezone applied directly upon a tender, aching corn relieves the soreness and soon the entire corn, root and all, can be lifted out with out pain.
 For little cost 8 quarter of an ounce of freezone can be obtained from any drug store which is claimed to be sufficien to remove every hard or soft corn or callus from ones feet
 This is drug recently announced from Cincinnati. It is gummy but dries the moment it is applied and simply shrivels up the corn without inflaming or even irritating the healthy tissue or skin.
 Cut this out and lay it on your wife's dresser.-Advt.

YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and
Women Who Have
shared II.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

June 1s-Bosth Harrington
and Laurel Louisa Fletcher.
1t has been said that Booth
Harrington owes the fact that
he first achieved success as a
writer to two women-his sis
ter, Mrs. Ovid Butler Jameson,
and his first wife who, before
her marriage, was Miss Laurel
Louisa Fletcher. Had II not
been for the persevering en-
couragement of these two wom-
en- there Is not the slightest
doubt that Mr.. Harrington
would have abandoned his
work as a writer in favor of
more profitable occupation. 1t
IL also highly probable that,
had Harrington been the son OF
q poor man instead of a man
with ample means. he would
never have persevered, for sin
gularly enough It was many
years before his short stories
or novels were appreciated. and
even The Gentleman from In
diana" was peddled about for
a long time before 1t found a
publisher.
1t was Just fifteen years ago
today that Newton Booth Tar
kington was married to Laurel
Louisa, the daughter OF Slough
ton Fletcher, prominent citi-
zen and banker, OF Indianap-
oils, who had recently been
graduated from Smith College.
where she gained quite a dis
tinction as writer herself.
She vote stories for her college
paper, as Harrington had at
Princeton, and unlike him she
succeeded when in college in
selling stories to the maga~
zines. After her marriage she
placed several stories in the
lighter magazines and for some
inexplicaEle reason Booth Tar
kington himself never sold any
thing for years with the ease
with which his wife marketed
her stories.
In Rome and London, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Harrington lived,
she was a social favorite and
persistently kept her husband
intent on the achievement OF
his ambition. For her part,
realizing that her abilities as
a writer were not so remark
able as those of her husband,
she devoted a good deal of her
time to the study of music and
became a proficient player of
the harp.

CALLAHAN HAS HOPES
FOR GAME AFTER WAR

Pittsburgh, Pa, June 17.-Manager
jimmy Callahan, of the Pirates, be-
lieves that after the war is over and
the various countries have had a
chance to straighten themselves out
and commence living again. interna-
tional baseball will be a possibility.
Says Jimmy:
When we played our games in Lon
don with the round-the-world teams
a few years ago the Britishers did not
care much for the sport. Ground
balls, and the fielding OF them did
not interest them much, not nearly
as much as fly balls. which were
caught. II didn't matter II 1t was
a foul ball. They would applaud
these and the fielding that went with
them. Balls Of that sort had cricket
features, suppose. Running bases
and sliding to or back to a base were
things they were inclined to laugh at
and treat as joke. think that
after the war II we take two teams
over things will be different, and that
there will be a grand opportunity to
put in some licks for international
baseball. Why not? 1t is far ahead
Of every other game that's played" :"
