JERUSALEM OF TODAY.

1t is highly probable that General

was demoralizcd by the long success
sion Of British victories. The dcfcasc
Of Jerusalem offered no serious OBJ

But the Christian commando ID
not strike. Instead Of proceeding IN
the usual way to attack without r.
gard for the damage to be done ne
pursued the laborious course OF
completely surrounding the city and
thus compelling its surrender.
The Jerusalem of today is a cesa-
pool OF filth. misery and disease; but
it is the Holy City OF three great re-
ligions. It's present wretchedness IS
The result Of Turkish sloth and NAL
administration, and in no degree
lessons its sanctity in the eyes Of
Jews. Christians and Mohammedans.
A British bon,barimcnt of Jerusa-
lem, even though demanded by rea :
sons of military exigency, would
have. left a faint Of sacrilcge on Al
lenhy's triumph.
The contrast between the British
commanders forbcarance and tue
wantpn vandalism Of the Ge1ma-s
II their treatment Of sacred things
is sufficiently striking. Partial dc
stlrItion Of Jerusalem by British 2r-
,illery would have been, from i
military standpoint, practically az
vantagcous. The destruction OF
Rheims by the Germans has been
mere needless brutality. 1t has been
coolly devised as shock 10 the -

The Home Doctor

Earache.-Hot cloths or hot water
bottle at the ear will often relieve the
pain. A few drops of sweet oil in the
ear, with plug of cotton to retain the
oil, is good for severe cases. but doc
tor should also be called in.
Sore Throat. - Gargle often with
equal parts of alcohol and water or
equal parts of good antiseptic and
water. Take laxative.
Fever.-Keep patient in bed in a
quiet, dark room. Sponge frequently
with cool water and keep him COZ cred
with light covering. Give simple food.
such as milk or milk toast. If fever
runs high doctor should be called.
BurnS.-The seriousness of a burn is
determined by the amount of tissue in
volved. If one-third of the skin of the
body is involved in a burn regardless
of the depth it is serious and may
cause death. even with the best of
treatment. Especially is thus true of
scalds. Ice water is good for fresh
burns. Guard against infection with
dirty hands. Cover the wound with
cold boric acid congresses. Blisters
should be punctured at their base
with a sterile needle. but the skin
lection. Cut and soak clothing away
from a burn. De not pull it off, as
this causes wounds.

Fresh Air Sleepers Should Be
Warmly Clad and Covered

The North Carolina board of health
gives the following advice to fresh air
sleepers:
People cannot expect to sleep warm
in cold weather whether their windows
are open or not without first making
prepare ton for it. This requires, first,
soft, warm night clothing that covers
the arms and feet; second, plenty of
light, warm covering, preferably wooden
blankets, which are lighter and warmer
than quilts; third, a soft, thick bed
that lets no air in FROM underneath;
fourth, warm bathrObe and slippers
that will enable one to get in bed warm
One of the essentials for sleeping
comfortably in cold fresh air is going
to bed warm in warm night clothes,
If necessary, a nightcap and eiderdOwu
foot warmers should be worn. The
bed should be more than a thin mat
tress. One can get cold for lack of COW
ering underneath as well as ON top. A
cold sponge bath in the morning will
not only make fresh air sleeping easier
and more delightful, but it will create
such resistance to cold that thinner
clothes may be worn and less covering
needed at night.
