Mocha.

Mocha, also written Nokha, is the
name of an ancient city in Arabia on
the shore Of the Red sea. It was for
merly the capital Of the province of
Yemen in Arabia. It is IS miles north
west of the Strait Of Bab-el-Afandeb.
and 100 miles northwest of Alden.
From early in the sixteenth century
until the middle Of the seventeenth
century Mocha was the port from
which the coffee of Yemen was prfn-
cipally exported, hence coffee grown
in that part Of Arabia and. shipped
through the port Of Mocha was known
as Mocha coffee. The coffee of Yemen
now passes through the port of Ho-
deida, port about 100 miles to the
north. Mocha is'now a decayed place.
It has population Of 5000.

Near.lohted Man Walks Like F,Irt

That near-sighted people habitually
walk in an oddly weaving and swerv-
Ing manner was the successful defense
of Londoner who was recently arrest
ed for annoying women. Hugh Clifford,
b. A., B. &c., well-known British Sec
rotary in one of the governmental bu-
reaus, was taken in custody for bump
ing into young women on the street
and insulting them persistently. His
attorneys brought scientistsinto court
to testify that he was nearsighted and
therefore subject to the indirect walk.
Ing habits of that class of sufferers.
Professor Cadman testified that a near.
sighted man might easily be mistaken
for flirt or annoyer of women when
walking through crowded street. So
thoroughly did the scientists establish
this point that the court discharged
Clifford with exoneration.

Rose Always Popular.

It is doubtful If there is any other
flower so widely spread over the globe.
SO universally represented among the
races Of men in all times as the rose.
Before the Christian era men chose
the finest Of the species and improved
them insofar as possible. And It was
during the invasion Of the barbarians
from the north German countries dur.
ing the dark ages that the culture of
the rose was driven into the more pro.
tected places, like the converts and
the larger castles.-St. Louis Republic

Almost Forgotten Boy Prodigy.
William Henry West Betty, perhaps
the greatest Of all boy actors, made
his first appearance on the London
stage at the Drury Lane theater, De.
cmber 1. 1904. Betty, who was uni.
versally known as "the Young Ros.

He began his stage career at the age
Of eleven, In Belfast, playing the roles
Of Osman, Young Norval and Romeo,
and soon all ireland was wild over
him. During his engagements In Dru.

He caters to men and dollars. He

Relax and Rest.

The habit of relaxing is an excellent
one, especially just while previous
to sleeping time, for in this way one
prepares the mind and body for that
subconscious lapse which restores
health and vitality. One way to in.
duce relaxation and sleep is a fresh
wholesome condition of body, and so
the matter of the daily bath is an i'm.
portant detail to be considered. In.
deed, very often when body and mind
seem too weary to rest the hot or
cold bath proves the one thing that
will induce sleep.

many of US venerate the memory of

ly before his death: "All the relegan

Do Something You Dislike Every Day.
A writer in the American Magazine
says: There Is only one way to keep
the will active, and that is by exer.
cising it. The will Is like the mus
cles, for even the finest of athletes
soon gets out of condition unless he
exercises. A man ought to do every
day something that he does not care
to do, just for the sake of exercising
his will. That sort of exercise keeps
1t in condition ready for the harder
things Of life when they occur. and,
above all. prepared for emergencies

When the Hair Turns White.

Most people have seen the cheeks
become pale with terror, but few have
seen the hair turn white from the
same cause. and the possibility of
such a transformation has often been
denied. Yet it is well-attested fact.
Some years ago Swiss mountaineer
was rescued from terrible situation
into which he had placed himself
while hunting chamois-a narrow
ledge on the face of a precipice, to
which he had had to cling precari-
ously all night. His hair turned white
during the darkness.

JAPANESE STEAMER
SUNK; 800 MISSING
HiranO Maru TOrpedOed 800 Miles
South Of Irish Coast

A British Fort, Oct. II, (By the
Associated Press) -The Japanese
steamship Hirano Maru of 1895 tons
gross has been torpedoed and sunk.
1t is feared that 800 lives were lost
The Hirano Maru was outward
bound for Japan and carried about
200 passengers. The vessel was tor
pedoed and sunk by a German sub
marine early on Friday morning
when about 500 miles south of Ire
land.
The few survivors who were
picked up by the American torpedo
boat destroyer Sterrett have been
brought here. They declare that the
torpedo struck the steamer in the
forward engine room.
Nothing remained for those on
board, including the women and
children, but to plunge into the
ocean. A large number, however,
went down with the ship. The YES
sci disappeared completely within
seven minutes after being struck by
the torpedo.
The scene was indescribable. The
weather was bad and rather hazy.
The cries of the drowning were
heart-rending. Everybody had been
supplied with life belts but only the
strongest were able to stand the buff
feting waves and exposure. 49,
Providentially the commander of
the American destroyer Sterrett heard
the explosion and steered his vessel
for the point whence the sound
came. He found the ship had disap-
peared, but he saw q mass of peo-
pie struggling in the water.
There were no small boats avail
able so the destroyer in the bad
weather steamed about picking up
those who still were alive. The Amer
lean warship picked up thiryty persons.
one of whom died while being
brought ashore.
Among the survivors were these
passengers in the first cabin: A. A.
Young, Louis Durmont, A. B. Ask
laca. T. H. Butler and Fred j.
Karsch. About twenty-five mem
bers of the Japanese crew were res
cued.
While the American destroyer Ster-
rett was engaged in the work of
mercy and picking up the men and
women struggling in the water the
German submarine fired two torpe-

EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to slim ulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier Vick's VapoRub will be found
effective. Hot, wet towels should be
applied over the throat, chest and
back between the shoulder blades to
open the pores. Then VapoRub
should be rubbed in over the parts
until the skin is red, spread on thick
ly and covered with two thicknesses
of hot flannel cloths. Leave the
clothing loose around the neck as the
heat of the body liberates the ingred-
tents in the form of vapors. These
Vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that
this is germ disease. spread
principally by human contact, chiefly
through coughing, sneezing or spit
which means avoiding crowds
common drinking cups, roller towe S,
etc. Keep up your bodily strength
by plenty of exercise in the open air,
and good food. Above all, keep free
from colds, as colds irritate the lin
ing of the air passages and render
them much better breeding places for
the germs.

first sign of a cold. For a head cold,
melt q little VapoRub in spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still. use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle.
If this is not available,
use an ordinary tea kettle.
Fill half full of boiling water, put in
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from
time to time-keep = the kettle
just slowly boiling and >inhale the
steam arising.
NOTE. I )
Vicks VapoRub is the discovery of
North Carolina druggist. who found
how to combine, in salve form, Men
thol and Camphor with such volatile
oils as EUCALYPTUS, Thyme Cubebs,
ETC., SO that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form Of
Vapors.
FapoRub is comparatively new in
, New York State and New England
and a few Western states" where it is
just now being introduced,a but in the
other sections of the country it is the
standard home remedy in over a mil
lion homes for all forms Of cold
troubles. Over six million jars were
sold last year. 1t is particularly
recommended for children's Group or
colds, since. it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely
as desired without the slightest harm
full effects. VapoRub can be had in
three sizes at all druggists.

BETTER THAN CAL0MEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr..
Edwards Olive Tablets are
a Harmless Substitute.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tlte for calomel - are mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IS
of DR.. Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calonel.
His efforts to Danish it brought out these
little olive.colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does, but have no bad after
effects. They don't injure the teeth like
strong liquids or calomel. They take hold
of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why
cure the liver at the expense Of the teethe
Calornel sometimes plays havoc with the
gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not
to take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, 'dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
a disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '1oggy" and
heavy" Note how they clear clouded
brain and how they "perk up" the spirits.

ALWAYS CALL ADOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.

Spanish influenza, which apperaed
in Spain in May. has all the appear
ance of grip or la grippe, which has
swept over the world in numerous
epidemics as far back as history runs.
Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in
Az B. G. which is regarded by many
to have been influenza. Every GEN.
fury has had it's attacks. Beginning
with 1881, this country has had five
epidemics, the last in 1889-90. s....
There is no occasion for panic
influenza itself has a very low per-
centage of fataIities-not over one
death out of every four hundred cases,
according to the n. G. Board of Health
The chief danger lies in complica-
lions arising, attacking principally,
patients in q run down condition
those who don't go to bed soon
enough. or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with u chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
a general feeling of weakness and
depression. The temperature is from
100 to 104. and the fever usually
lasts from three to five days. The
germs attack the mucuous mem brane,
or lining of the air paSsages-noSc,
throat and bronchial tubes-there is
usually q hard cough, especially bad
at night, often times q sore throat
or tonsilitis, and frequently all the
appearances of "a severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT. e.. ,
Go to bed at the first symptoms,
not only for your own sake but to
avoid spreading the disease to others
take a purgative, eat plenty Of
nourishing food, remain perfectly
quiet and don't worry Quinihe,
= aspirin Or Dover's Powder, etc, may
be administered by the physicians
directions to relieve the aching. But
there is no cure or specific for in
huenza-the disease must run it's
course. but nature will throw off the
attack if only you keep up your
strength. The chief danger lies in
the complications which may arise.
influenza so weakens the bodily re-
distance that there is danger Of
pneumonia or bronchitis developing,
and sometimes inflammation of the
middle ear or heart affections. For
these reasons, it Is very important
hat the patient remain in bed until
mis- strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the
fever has left you, or if you are over
so or not strong, stay in bed four
days or more, according to the sever
lty OF the attack.
