New York. Dec. 31.-when the

coming OF 1917 at 1850 o'clock tonight
New York greeted the announcement
with its usual carnival Of noise, but It

streets added to the din with horns
and cowbells. There were no vacant

who had made reservations were more
circumspect than usual in their merry
making.
But there was a soberer side to the

Captain Joseph Faulkner Of the Brair-
dene a passenger ON the American
line steamship st. Louis, which ar
rived from Liverpool.
AS the Brairdene was nearing Kirk

The submarine commander ordered all

of the submarine joined them. after
loading the small boats with bombs
each about the size of tomato can.
The Germans directed us to pull up
alongside the Brairdene, said Captain
Faulkner, and as we did our men were
told to unload the bombs on the decks
of the Drairdcne. Several Of the Ger
mans boarded the Brairdenc and
placed the bombs in various parts of
the ship. A..
Then we pulled away and in little
while the bombs exploded. blowing q
hole in the hull of the vessel, which
quickly sent her to the bottom.
Captain Faulkner said there were
1000 boxes of apples on board of his
ship and when the explosion occurred
there was Il shower Of apples which
literally covered the sea for some dis
lance around. The submarine imnlc
diately submerged, but soon afterwart

dene to the. side Of the Norwegian
steamer Luna. which was sighted ;
few minutes later. The Luna took tn
men to Kirliwall.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Will YOU please tell me what hard
ening of the arteries means?
Answer-Another name for hardened
arteries is arterio sclerosis. which is
now in very common use. This means
simply that there is degeneration OF
the tissue Of the walls of the arteries
which occurs especially in old age.
The walls in perfect health are elastic,
like n rubber band. but when they be-
come rigid by the slow degeneration of
the parts, this elasticity is lost, and
while it is impossible to replace hard
encd arteries with brand new tissue
walls, possessing the elasticity of
youth. yet if the patient lives prudent
ly and avoids undue and excessive
strain, gets adequate sleep and OBJ
serves commonsensc habits as to bath
ing, eating. and due attention to the
bowels. an individual with hardened
arteries can live to be hundred years
old.

ment Of the heart dangerous. is 1t cur
able, or could anything else be mis-
taken for enlargement Of the heart?
ADMINISTRATION Of the heart means
that the heart muscles gets beyond Its
usual dimensions. 1t is a condition In
which the cavities OF the heart are en-
larged and the walls become thin or
deficient in their muscular power to
contract. The symptoms of a dilated
heart are a very great activity, often
times tumultuous, SO that the side OF
the body shakes each time the heart
beats against. The hearts action is
rapid and feeble, oftentimcs there is a
tendency to faint, and In the advanced
stages dropsy frequently develops not
only in the legs but in the abdominal
cavity. together with shortness Of
breath and a great enfeeblement OF
physical and mental strength. Yes
enlargement Of the heart is dangerous
but it is durable by proper medical at
tention. and sufficient rest in bed, to-
gether with adequate attention to the
proper kind of food. 1t is not likely
that anything else, or any other con-
dition would be mistaken for dilated
heart. t"'i

Answer-Thank you kindly for your
appreciation. Why not reduce the

half; stick to this new regime for one
month, no matter if You do get hun

the poisoning of your system from the

from the wrong foods and the exces-
sive amount of food you have beer
eating will soon disappear, and youl
condition should rapidly clear up. Blu

at is worth while examining the de-
velopments in Russia from this point
of view. Here no practical or effective
form of commercial regulation or dis

that the whole trend Of this revolution

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.--New and
drastic provisions, giving the govern
ment absolute control over foreign
language publications and disloyal, Sc
ditious and reasonable publications in
the English language were added to
the trading with the enemy bill" when
it came out of conference to-day. Tho
new provisions take the place Of the
King amendment, which was added to
the bill while IL was before the SEN
ate.
Senator Kings amendment required
German language publications TO print
in parallel columns an English trans
lation of all articles. The new pro.
vision establishes a censorship over
all foreign language publications, in
stead of contining itself to those in
the German language, and makes Il
unlawful either 10 print or circulate
in any way any foreign language pub
lication that has not passed the CEN
sor. The local postniasters are the
censors.
The second point in the new amend
ment is that 1T is made unlawful to
transport or distIbute any publication
that is non-maifable under the pro-
visions of the espionage law. This pro-
vision gives the government control OF
the distribution and sale Of offensive
English language publications., as well
as those in foreign languages. In the
case Of the English language publica-
tons, however, there is no provision
for special censorship by local post
masters.
Successful efforts by offending pub
locations to evade government control
under the provisions of the espionage
law brought the proposed legislation
about. 1t was found that when they
were excluded from the mails they sen:
their publications by express and or
ganized distribution agencies to supply
their subscribers and news agents, and
reach the public generally. Some Of
them even Dragged that as result of
the action of the postoffice their sales
had been materially increased.
As the bill now stands it is made un-
lawful for any person, firm, corporation
or association to print, publish or cir
culate or cause to be printed, published
or circulated in any foreign language
any news item, editorial or other print
ed matter respecting the government Of
the United States or any nation en-
gagged in the present war, its policies,
international relations, the state or con-
duct of the war or any matter relating
thereto.
A second paragraph lifts this ban
to some extent. 1t provides that the
foregoing section shall not apply if
the publisher or distributor on or be-
fore offering the publication for mailing
or in any manner distributing it to the
public has filed with the postmaster at
the place of publication in the form of
an affidavit true and complete trans
lation of the entire article containing
such matter and has printed in English
that the translation has been so filed.
The act is self-repealing after the

fore the chamber tonight, emphasized
the importance of organization and CO.
operation among the manufacturers of
the United States in order 10 produce
the immense amount of munitions and
supplies necessary successfully 70 carry

"In a sense, too, this is trade war"
said the speaker, "for the Teutonic
scheme is now stripped bare Of all pre-
tence. Germany over ALI is the en-
emy's battle cry, and the words have at
least the merit Of simplicity. Ameri-
