First Woman Doctors.

The first woman admitted to the
Ecole Medicine, the famous Paris med
ical college, who also the first to be-
come a member of the New York Acad-
envy of Medicine, was DIR. Mary Put
nam jacob, who was born In London
seventy-ive years ago. She was the
daughter of George p. Putnam, the
New York publisher, and studied in
several American schools before TAX
ing her degree in PARIS In 1871. Two
years later she became the bride Of
DIR. Abraham jacob, a native of Ger
many, who fled that country when
charged with high treason" for par
ticipation in a German revolutionary
movement, and, settling in New York,
became one of the most distinguished
of American physicians. DR.. Mary
Putnam jacob was prominent in the
profession as professor and hospital
physician until her death in 1906. The
first woman physician in America was
DIR. Elizabeth Blackwell, native of
England, who received her degree of
M. D. in 1849, and later returned to
England to practice her profession.

MAXWELL TRUCK
FOR MR.. PERRY

Mr.. Thomas ]. Perry of Pine, Sat
urday bought Maxwell worm-gea
truck from Mr.. Carroll, the distribu-
ator for central Florida. The truck
was barely unloaded when Mr..
Thomas came to the office looking
for such a proposition and bought it
in ten minutes.
The fame of the Maxwell truck is
spreading. The truck has never fail
ed in any test. The construction sys-
tenn is the best there is. The truck is
full one-ton proposition, with half
way decent roads guaranteed under
50,per cent overload or 5000 pounds,
costs less at first and afterwards
than any truck made of anything like
the capacity and durability. Best of
NIL, perhaps, they carry their load III
sand, with SOLID tires, thus saving
three-fourths of the ordinary expense
for pneumatic castings and tubes. 1t
is the powerful Maxwell motor and
the unbreakable, unsuitable worm
gear in the back end that does it.
Mr.. Carroll Immediately placed an
order for two solid carloads of Max
well trucks to come direct through
from Detroit to Ocala.

RUSSIA, COUNTRY OF FAMINE
Peasants, Next to orientaIs, Are Re-
oarded as the Hungriest People
on Face of Globe.

Next to the proletariat of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other citizen on earth, the National
Geographic magazine asserts.
One of the earliest famines in Rus
STA of which there is any definite rec
ord was that of 1000, which continued
for three years, with death toll of
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong overcame the
weak and in the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold.
Multitudes of the dead were found
with their mouths stuffed with straw.
Three Russian famines of compare
lively recent date were among the
most severe in the history Of the coun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1905 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first Of these periods Of dearth the
government allotted nearly $125,OOO,-
900 for relief work, but the sums were
not judiciously expended.
The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third of the area of the empire I'm
Europe and affected more or less
100000 people, while 5000. 900 were
reduced to starvation. Weeds, the
bark of trees and bitter bread made
from acorns constituted the chief diet
for the destitute. This was the most
widespread and most severe famine
which has befallen a European nation
in modern times.

Of this crop.

Kicked Himself to Freedom.

Prisoners of war have had many
thrilling adventures in their attempts
to escape across the German frontier,
but It would be hard to find more re-
markable story than the following. told
In a Dutch paper: Four British es-
capped prisoners Of war, one French
man and seven Russians arrived at
Oldenzaal, besides two German desert
ers. An amusing incident took place
In the case of one Of the Russians.
He was seized by the German sentry
when in the act of crossing the from
tier, and in the course of the ensuing
struggle threw himself on the ground.
He fell half way on Dutch and half
way on German territory. The Dutch
sentry came to his rescue and tried to
pull him across by the shoulders. The
German pulled at the other end. When
the Russian found that the Dutchman
was helping him he started kicking
with all his might, with the happy re-
suit that he was safely pulled onto
Dutch territory.

HUSBAND THE BETTER LOVER
He Is Practical, Demonstrating His At
= lection in Deeds Rather
Than in Words.

Invariably the radiantly happy mar.
ried woman of fifty has adopted the
mans point of view regarding her life.
The average man is a better lover
than the average woman, because he
loves practically, showing affection in
acts rather than in words. From the
beginning his home is his inventive to
effort. Sometimes, after marriage, as
demands increase, he becomes so en-
crossed in his purpose that he forgets
to talk of love.
Then it is that the wife, who has
small understanding Of love In action,
pines because she is sure he has grown
cold. No, he is at fever heat, lest he
fail In providing physical proof of his
affection.
The woman who finds happiness I'm
married life has sufficiently mascu-
line outlook to understand him. She,
instead of brooding over imaginary
Sights, In return proves her devotion
by work. Her domestic duties are dig
nified by love, consequently she can
fix her thoughts upon something d.
verting while she mends socks, forget
ting the commonplace.
She can hear the song of the bird
or think OF the story she read last eve
ming while she does the work OF the
absent cook. To her 1t Is a Joy to
plan attractive meals that will add to
the efficiency of her loved ones. She

AMERICAN TROOPS IN
EXCELLENT SPIRITS
1t is Part Of the Work of the Red
Cross to See that Their Cheer
fulness Does Not Fail

luIuE56 OOcB NOt All
New York, Dec. 16.-Every report
from the training camps in America
and from the French front indicates
the American troops are ie excellent
spirits, w. Frank Pearsons, director
general of civilian relief of the Am
-erican Red Cross, said yesterday in
an address before the American
Academy of Political Science, meet
ing here.
Whether the soldiers will maintain
this morale through trench life and
battle to the end will be determined,
he saida largely by the home service
of the Red Cross. "Men may be the
best soldiers in the world" he declar-
ed, ''but if things are not well with
their families at home, they worry
and lose efficiency, and the morale,
that all-important factor, begins to
fall" Il
The greater opportunity of the Red
Cross home service, Mr.. Pearsons
said, is the conservation of human re-
sources-the maintenance of good
standards of health, education, indus
try and family solidarity among the
large minority of soldiers families
which is not able to provide these
standards for itself.
l.. S. Rowe, assistant secretary of
the treasury, discussing the military
and naval insurance act, said it
should not be considered as providing
for a gratuity award by the govern
ment to its officers and enlisted men
It Incorporates a principle of the
workmen's compensation law of many
states, provides insurance on easy
terms at time when commercial life
insurance rates would be prohibitive
for fighting men, and by its allot-
ments to dependents of men in SER
vice maintains the home while the
wage earners are doing their bit for
the government.

ARMORY FOR GUARDS
r. F. Hodgins Gives Hargis Company
Free Use of Building.

Richard F. Hodgins, a well known
Topeka business man, has generously
turned over to the Topeka Home
Guard company as a meeting place,
the lower floor of his building at 9O6
Kansas avenue. He refuses to take
any rent for its use. This room, tho
two small for any but squad drills
will furnish a comfortable meeting
place for the men, good recruiting
station for the company, and an ar
mory for guns and equipment. AS
it never has been the intention to
hold company drills indoors, the size
of the room will make little differ
ence. The company now has suffi-
cient funds in its treasury to provide
heat, light and necessary furniture.
AS the government is still unable
to furnish enough guns to supply the
home guard companies, an appeal has
been made by Captain Hargis to all
citizens possessing old army rifles, to
lend same to the Topeka Home Guards
for drill purposes. This was done
with an assurance to the owners that
their property would receive good
care and eventually be returned in
good condition. This appeal has NJ
ready met with an encouraging re-
Spouse, but still more guns are needed
Anyone willing to lend a rifle to the
Home Guard can either bring il to
the Hargis pharmacy, 935 Kansas
avenue, or call Captain Hargis on
phone 1447 and the gun will be sent
for.
The Topeka Home Guard company
now has an enrolment of 1877 and is
steadily growing. Many of it's mem
bers have purchased uniforms. and
it is believed that within a month, or
six weeks at most, the entire COM
pany will be uniformed, armed,
equipped and ready to perform any
duty that may be required of it,
Besides the Topeka Home Guards,
there is a second company composed
of colored men and known as the
