The homebody need know only two
kinds. The first a counter lrritant like q
mustard poultice and the second a
soothing, healing poultice made OF bread
and milk, or of tiaNSeed
A child MAY make any one Of these and
children should Ic gwen this knowledge

The old-fashioned hop poul,ice Is a
soothing cure for neuralgia. stiff neck and
sharp muscular paTTlS The hops are
stepped in little boiling water and
spread between cloths and used as hot as
possible. A hop pillow, heated until
warmed through, has q soothing quality
not easil~ explained. but so quieting and
restful that invalids and restless children
praise them above all other home rene

Mustard poul,ces should not be made

U. 8. PROTESTS TO TURKEY.
Demands Explanation for Seizure o
American Consul at Tabrix. Persia.

OcndnO0 CEpidN&ttOn rCF S0txOF0 OF
American Consul at Tabrix. Persia.
Washington. July 1.-The United
States government has formally pre-
sented to the Turkish government the
reports that Turkish troops attacked
and sacked an American hospital at
Tabriz, Persia, and seized the Ameri-
can consulate there. with request for
an explanation.
Confederation Of the facts Of the Ia
briz incident has been received thru
Spain, supporting the rumor sent from
Teheran by Minister Caldwell.
It was said the character Of the
Turkish troops responsible might have
an important bearing on this matter.
On Turkeys reply depends on wheth-
or the ally OF Germany shall be added
to the list of American enemies.
1t Is thought possible the troops
which raided the hospital were Kurds
or other irregular soldiers operating
without sanction Of the sOttoman gov.
ernment. In that case the incident
might not assume great Importance
particularly as so far as has beei1
learned there was no loss Of American
lives.
All Americans were reported out Of
Tabriz some time ago. The Spanish
consul was in charge of the American
consulate and It is supposed ne also
was looking after the interests OF tht
hospital, a Presbyterian institution.

a dispatch from Moscow, lies the Arctic
port of Kola, with the railway guarded
by allied and American naval forces.
Consequently great interest attaches TO

state Of war may mean.
All recent declarations have repre-
sented conditions to be quiet around
Koia and tits hopei the
latest development may mean no more
than the bolsheviki government has
proclaimed martial law to maintain or

Around Kola there are acres Of mill
tary supplies. running all the way from
locomotives and cannon to clothing and
food. Most Of the supplies were ship
ped from America and England at the
time Russia still was in the war and
was anxious to receive supplies.
The allies have realized the danger
Of German seizure and determined to
save the stores tor a rehabilitated Rus

to fight the Germans, and have landed

who have taken over considerable
part Of the railway running southward.

Monte di ValbeIia Captured and 800
Austrians Taken Prisoner.
London, July Italian troops have
stormed and carried Monte di yafbella,
the dominating peak of the Asiago
plateau in the center of the northern
front. The victory was won after q
bitter struggle.
The italian infantry was supported
on either flank by British and French
troops and intense artillery fire from
their own guns.
The mountain was won Saturday.
Thruout Saturday night and Sunday
the Austrians delivered heavy counter
attacks, all Of which were repulsed.
Enemy h Deeimated.
In the words Of the official state
ment from Rome Sunday, large en-
envy masses were launched in counter
attack and to slaughter, but were re-
pulsed by our infantry and decimated
by concentrations Of artillery fire and
machine gun fire from airplanes. The
position carried was victoriously held"
The 800 prisoners captured by the
Italians have been identified as be-
longing to four divisions, which shows
that the important peak was held by
a garrison Of about $4,000 men.
Cannon, trench mortars and numer-
GUS machine guns are included in the
booty captured.
Between the Frenzella Valley and
tho STenta, also OH tfe NORTH front.
the Italians carried fortified obser-
walton post on the southern slopes Of
Sasso Rosso and captured two Off
GERS and thirty-one men.
In the Lagarina and Sugana valleys
avlatons successfully bombed enemy
military establishments and railway
stations.
Menaces Foo Communications.
It is hardly to be believed that Cen
era1 Diaz plans to go farther than To-
cal detectives, but If he should make
much progress on the Asiago plateau
he could be able to take under his
artillery FIRE the railroad paralleling
the battle line and running along the
Brenta river east Of Lake Caldonazzo.
This line Is the connecting line be-
tween the Piave and the Adige fronts
and dominates the Austrian system OF
communications.
