RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS

Many hundreds of thousands of
soldiers in the great war have been
sent home from the trenches wound
ed not by bullets but by tuberculo-
sis, and the number of consumptives
among the workers and children at
home has multiplied. Thousands of
Americans examined this year for
the army have been found to be I'M
suspected cases Of tuberculosis.
In times Of peace tuberculosis has
been pronounced the disease that
kills most and among the chief
causes of poverty. In times of war
it must be fought doubly hard 20
strengthen our army, conserve TIE
strength of the nation and hasten
victory.
tuberculosis is preventable ard IS
durable il treated in time. The
fight against tuberculosis must be
in educating soldiers, Vkers and
children on how to avoid it, IN
shielding them from infection by
consumptives and in securing care
end treatment for those who have
been infected.

European use are short. Meat must
be supplied if the war is won-by
the forces who fight for freedom.
The war will be won if we fail in
food production-but not won by
us. We must understand what will
happen if we do not provide the
enormous quantities Of fodstuffs
that the Allies can not produce
themselves.
Are We going to feed our Army
on chickens and eggs? Of course
not. But by greatly increasing our
production of chickens and eggs,
and by eating those chickens and
eggs ourselves we will, naturally,
eat that much less beef and pork. In
turn, that beef and pork can be sent
to Europe.
The United States Department of
Agriculture calls upon the country
to double poultry production next
year. That can be done if the
farms will keep an average Of 100
hens instead Of an average of 40
hens, as at present, and if every
family in town will keep enough
hens in the backyard to produce all
the eggs used by the family,--or
two hens to each person.

BOMB THROWING

''Hey boy, you threw that last
one straight armed, you want to be
careful of that, commented a buck
private who stood in trench throw
ing back bombs tossed there by a
stalwart soldier.
"Don't givadam," replied the ov-
ergrown rookie who was dropping
the two-pound iron cones into
trenches from 20 to IS yards in
front of him, 81 get 'em there, don't
II"
The bomber stopped to watch the
antics of the little fellow in the
trench, who twisted his body in a
mockery Of the remonstrance Of
the French non-com, dissatisfied
with the showing Of a rookie. A
grin spread over his face as he toss
ed two Of the iron pellets in the air,
both striking so close to the little
fellow that he beat hasty retreat.
"h wish my name was in the 18
men Ban Johnson asked the Govern
ment to leave on the Browns"
unused the big fellow as he tossed
bombs and let them fall into a shell
hole fully fifty yards from where
he stood.
The bomber is almost following
his summer vacation as Camp Pike
and his control with the engines of
destruction is uncanny. 1t prom
ises many unpleasant days for the
Boche when he gets across. South
ern Leaguers, Pacific Coast Lea
guers and American Leaguers know
this bomb thrower well. He is Bill
Fincher, pride of Holly Grove, Ark,
and has served in the three leagues
mentioned as a pitcher, and is now

CITY OF THE CALlPHs

Baedad's capture by the. BRITISH
marks the climax to one OF the most
dramatic and picturesque phases Oh
the world war. The city which mas
fallen TO British arms links the pres
ent to the past so distant that 1t Is
semi-fabulous. The known history Oh
Bapdad reaches back for more tnan
1000 years to the shadowy time OIL
King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, a
quay built by the Scriptural monarch
still existing submerged in the Tigris
within it's precincts; also, there stlil
stands the tombs of the Jewish proph-
cts, Joshua, Ezra and Ezekiel, ana
the well Of Daniel.
Long after the Babylonian dynasty
had ceased to be more than memory
Bagdad rose to splendor as the ar
tistic, literary, scientific and religious
capital of the world. The heart OF the
great islanic empire of the callphs
for hundreds of years, it was known
throughout the world as "the glorious
citv." and was the scene of the fan
tastic exploits Of Haroun-al-Rascnid,
.be potentate whose magnlficence IS
irnrortalized in the Arabian Nights.
3agdad is the scene of most OF the
pleasing stories in this wonderful
collection.
In 500 3. C. Bagdad was credited
with population of 100000 souls,
and was easily the first city IN the
world in wealth and commerce, With
the fall of the caliphs before tne
Turkish Sultans, the decline OF Gag
dad comm enced. 1t was successireiy
the prey of Turks, Mongo!s, Tartars
and Persians, but it was not until
1865 that the city became definitely
a part of the Turkish Empire. It's
ancient Importance was largely due
TO the fact that it stood at the centre
of the lines of communication de-
tween India and Persia and the west,
but the opening of new routes by way
of Trebizond and through Armenia
diverted its trade and was vital
factor in it's decline.
With the capture of Bagdad there
is opened up fascinating field for
conjecture as to the consequences OF
this victory. Primarily, of course, it
will effectual,y spike German plans
for a great Berlin to Bagdad ra.i-
road system, with Teutonic supre-
macy over Mesopotamia and the rest
of Turkey. in Asia Minor and the
ever-present threat to British rule
in India. To avert this menace 1t may
he presumed that the British Govern
ment aims to retain possession OF the
city of the Caliphs and the Mesopo-
tamian region lying south OF 1t. Ii
Russia at the same time makes its
occupation >of Armenia permanent
and the two allies bring the borders
Of their new territories into direct con-
tact the path to Persia ana the East
will be effectually closed to Germany
This seems to have been the principal
objective of the British expedition
Which started with such high hopes
ir 1915. met with disaster in the sur
render of General Townshend and his
0OA0 men, and has now, with true
JOIN Bull pertinacity, been carried
to a successful conclusion.

"CITY OF THE GREAT niNG."'

The Philadelphia Public Ledger
says that next TO the capture OF ber-
lin or Constantinople. the seizure OF
Jerusalem by the Allies owuld create
the widest world thrill.
1t is now much more than cen
tury since Napoleon made the last
serious attempt to wrest Palestine
from the Turk, but failed. Jerusa-
LENS name is contradiction. 1t
signifies Getty of peace" but Jerusa-
lem has been sacked oftener than any
other town on earth.
1t is curious that neither the Jew
who made it great nor the Christian
whose religion finds there its centre
and it's magnet has denominated Jeru-
salem for seven centuries pasC. 1t
belongs to the Turk.
Omar first captured the city for the
hosts Of Mahomet, and grand
mosque If Jerusalem still bears ms
name.
Dispatches last week were to the
effect that Jerusalem is the objective
of the British army now engaged in
that section of the globe. It is liza
BILE to fall into their hands, and should
the ancient capital of the Jewish theo-
cracy be captured, it may be safely
said it will never again fall into the
hands Of Mahometans. The crusaders
could not hold the city and Napoleon
failed in his purpose. 1t may be the
mission of England to place Pales-
tine into the hands of the jewish
people, and thus fulfill the hopes of
the Zionists.
