OPERATE ON T. R..
Expects to Be Out in Few Days
Speaking Dates Cancelled.

New York, Feb. e. Theodore
Roosevelts condition was favorable
today. The former president, whose
operation for an abscess a few days
ago was made public only last night
after his removal from his Oyster
Bay home, rested comfortably here
during the past twenty-four hours and
it was predicted that he would be out
within few days. Meanwhile he has
cancelled speaking engagements in
Boston, Des Moines, Milwaukee and
Detroit.
The abScess developed from a fever
which he contracted during the Span
ish-American war and becoming ma
hgnant on his Brazilian journey a few
years ago, has since troubled him at
various times. 1t was said today that
the operation would effect a perma-
nent cure

I'M CHURCH CHAOS
Bolsheyiki Seize All Church
Property ''for the People,"
Clergy Salary Cut OF; Become
Objects of Charity.

London, Feb. 6.-The separation of
state and church by the Bolsheviki
government is explained in a long
statement sent abroad by Bolsheviki
official news agency. From this it is
apparent that all ecclesiastical prop
erty has been declared to belong to
the people and is to be used for the
common veal
The Bolsheviki commissioners of
public charity who have been given
control of the church possessions, an
nounce that it is their opinion that
this property should be used solely
flor the alienation of the lot of the
classes suffering most from exploita-
ton by capitalist society" Accord
ingly, the expenditures for the sup
ceremonies will be suppressed.
After March l., the clergy will re-
ceive no salaries from the govern
ment- However, they will receive
four weeks salary in advance Clergy
men who remain in their positions and
will be employed by the commission
ers of public charity in the collective
demand of the congregations they
serve. Ecclesiastical functions and
dition that the clergy accept as pri-
vate persons remuneration from the
locality where they officiate.
Clergy May Retaliate.
Referring to the action of the Most
Rev. DR.. Tikhon, patriarch of all Rus
STA, in issuing an anathema, the Pet
rograd correspondent of the Times
says the church has long lost much
of its control over the people, owing
to the younger generation tending
towards irreligion. For this reason he
does not expect that the patriarch s
action will have much effect.
Doctor Tikhon however, it is added,
still has a powerful weapon at his dis
posal if he should lay the country
under an interdict, closing the
churches and not permitting the
priests to baptize, marry, and bury
the dead. The effect on the population
might be immediate and far reaching
as it probably would arouse in the
peasants every superstitious fear.

TO CAN 1T over THERE
Frances Vegetable and Fruit Crop
Ample to Supply Sammies.

Paris, Feb. 6.-An agreement has
been concluded between the French
and American government by which
the canned fruits and vegeta b1es re-
quired by the American expeditionary
forces will be supplied by France.
This action was taken after joint
investigation by experts of the United
States army purchasing board and
French authorities showed that the
normal fruit and vegetables crop in
France was sufficient to supply both
armies as well as all domestic needs.
The Americans will be required only
to import sugar for preserving the
fruit and tin plate for the manufac-
ture of tin cans. These materials will
be sold to the French government
which will apportion them among
private manufacturers. The American
army purchasing board expects that by
purchasing canned goods in France
there will be a saving of 20 per cent on
the tonnage required for canned
goods. The fruits and vegetables for
the American army will be picked and
canned by female labor.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For, Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and
is very harmful. Just plain mulsi-
fled cocoanut oil (Which is pure and
entirely greaseless9. is much better
than the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use for shampoo
ing, as this can't possibly injure the
hair.
Simply moisten your hair with wat
err and rub it in. One or two teaspoon
fuls will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather. and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust, dirt. dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and it leaves it fine and silky.

You can get mulsified cocoanut oil

cheap. and a few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for months.

The time was exactly IL o'clock;
the temperature was Iowa few de-

Suddenly and wierdly every fire

forth on the clear, frosty air, sending
out a warning of the most dreaded
enemy to the thousands of soldiers in
the night cloaked camp.
1t was the general fire alarm!
Almost simultaneously the camp
was lighted. To the far south of the
camp light shone thru the thousands
of barracks windows. 1t was the
same in the infantry section across
the great parade ground; to the east
and to the west the lights were
snapped on.
Triangles changed forth and the fire

buglers shril1ed forth the quick, stir

with its 10000 men was awake, alert

Thru the din of other noises was

The mess sergeant was in the store
house, gathering up days rations for
every man in the company. There
were big army wagons and army
motor trucks arriving outside each
barracks ready to be loaded. Only
long rows of iron cots remained in the
barracks.
1t was all done in eight minutes
and there wasn't any fire.
1t was a general alarm fire drill

Women Outside CITY
Cast Their First Vote

Women OF New York State outside OF
New York City had their first oppor-
tunity to exercise their right to vote at
the village elections yesterday. From
reports received last night it is indi-
Gated that in most counties they turned
cut in numbers equal to or exceeding
the men,
There was practically no change from
the returns usually obtained from the
former all-maIc vote The few women
who ran for office on the suffrage
ticket were showed under at least two
to one. Party lines were apparently as
sharply drawn as ever.
In the villages of Suffolk and Nassau
counties the woman vote more than
equalled the male. Upstate it was gem
orally lower.
In Rockville Centre women at the
polls got their first real thrill since en-
reimbursement, when two of the candi-
dates indulged in a fist fight. The con-
tcstants were adherents of Edwin w.
Wright and Edward Wallace, candidates g
for village president, and were sepa-
rated after one fast round, during
which the women screamed, several
tables and chairs were overturned and
an enjoyable time was had by all.
Five hundred women voted from the
district about the Meadow Brook Hunt
Club. At Hampstead, members of the
local Civic Club appointed a committee e
to take care of the babies while the
mothers voted. Mrs. Francis S. Harris,
the suffrage candidate for Village
Clerk at Sag Harbor, was swamped and
Caspar Shaefer, clerk for the last seven
years, got his usual large maj jority.
