Damascus under the kalifs, and of it's
many trials which followed the re-
moval of the kalifate to Bagdad; Of
the coming of the Egyptians, the Car
mathians, and the Seljuks; of the cam
paigns and mighty cOnquests of the
Saladin; Of the ravages of the Mon
gols, and of the final inclusion Of
Damascus within the Ottoman empire,
early in the sixteenth century, fol-
lowed by a long 400 years of stagna-
ton.
Beautiful, From a Distance.
The modern Damascus, like the
Damascus of ali the ages, is, in it's
distant view, as are many Eastern
cities, place of great beauty. 1t lies
at the northern edge of the plain Of
Ghutah, at the foot of the Anti-Leb-
anon, $3.50 feet above the sea, and all
around, for circuit of go miles, ex-
tend the famous orchards, gardens,
vineyards, and fields of Damascus,
which have always made it's fertility
proverbial throughout the East. The
Arabs regard it as one of their four
earthly paradises. Close at hand, the
city is not so beautiful. The rough
mud walls of the houses contrast
strangely with the SplendOrs within,
for the houses of Damascus, with their
mOsaics and carved wood, and their
ceilings rich in arabesque ornaments,
deliberately gilded, are amongst the
most beautiful in the East. The
bazaars, however, are the great fea-
ture of Damascus. The masses of
color and the wonderful effects of
light and shadow which they present
have made them the delight of paint
ers. AS one writer has described such
a scene, here are displayed all the
riches of the Orient; rare carpets and
rugs from Persia, and shawls, scarfs
and kerchiefs of every dye from the
far interior of Asia, with gold and
silver embroideries in exquisite taste
or of barbaric splendor. There is no
pavement, but the ground is hard from
the tread of many feet, for motley
throng is ever passing to and fro, of
turbaned men and Of women closely
yelled; musician playing his tam
BOURNE, and cavaliers or a train OF
camels slowly filing through. The
long streets are dim and cool, being
arched in high above, and through
apertures the sunlight falls in misty
streams on the gorgeous wares and
moving multitudes beneath. Then, the
old city walls are still there: and the
Roman gateways; and the Derb ell
Mistakim, or the street which Is
called Straight" still runs through the
city, from the eastern to the western
gate, as it did nineteen hundred years
ago, in the days of st. Paul.

steamboat with paddle wheels, which
he designed to connect with a high.

To be possessed of a head Of heavy,
beautiful hair; soft, lustrous, fluffy,
wavy and free from dandruff is merely
q matter of using little Danderine.
1t Is easy and inexpensive to have
nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a
small bottle Of Knowlton's Danderine
now-it costs but few cents-all drug
stores recommend it-apply little as
directed and within ten minutes there
will be an appearance of abundance,
freshness, f1uffiness and an incompara-
BILE gloss and lustre, and try as you
will you cannot find trace of dandruff
or falling hair; but your real surprise
will be after about two weeks use,
when you will see new hair-f1ne and
downy at first-yes-but really new
hair-sprouting out all over your scalp
-Danderine is, we believe, the only
sure hair grower, destroyer of dam
druff and cure for itchy scalp, and it
never fails to stop falling hair ut once.
If you want to prove how pretty and
soft your hair really is, moisten cloth
with q little Danderine and carefully
draw 1t through your hair-taking one
small strand at a time. Your hair will
be soft. glossy and beautiful in just
a few moments-a delightful surprise
awaits everyone who tries this. Adv.

Dry Pumpkins and Squash.

Well-matured pumpkins of any vari-
ETY. make an acceptable dried product
which only requires soaking, for use
later in pies or custards. The deeply
colored, solid-fieshed varieties are the
best for the purpose. Squash of the
winter varieties may also be cured, IN
the same way.
Cut into strips one-half inch wide,
peel and remove seeds, then cut the
long strips with rotary slicer or by
hand into slices One-half inch in thick
ness. Blanch in vigorously boiling
water for three minutes, or preferably
in steam for five minutes. A wash.
boiler partly filled with boiling water
and fitted with a support which will
hold a wire basket containing the ma
terial just out of the water makes q
good steamer. Some varieties blanch
more slowly than others; the treat.
ment should be continued until the
pieces have lost the opaque character
and have become transparent, but must
be stopped as soon as this result is
obtained.
Spread one or two pieces deep on
the trays and begin the drying at 135
degrees. AS soon as the pieces have
become somewhat plastic the tempera-
ture may be increased, but should not
be allowed to exceed $50 degrees at
any time. The material should be
stirred frequently in order to discover
and spread out any parts which are
not drying properly. If the drying Is
done in the sun it will be necessary
to spread the material in a single lay
er and turn the pieces over after a
few hours exposure.
Pumpkin or squash should be dried
until the pieces are leathery and show
no moisture upon the freshly cut sur
faces when bits are cut open and
strongly pressed between the hands.
As the material is removed from
the drier, place it in a large clean
pasteboard or wooden box, lined with
paper, and cover to exclude insects by
stretching piece of MOSQUITO netting
over the top. Place the box in
warm, dry room and stir the material
thoroughly daily, for ten days. The
drying meanwhile slowly continues
and the whole mass reaches the uni
form condition which it must have be-
fore it is permanently packed.
Pack in pasteboard boxes lined with
a double thickness of waxed paper, or
in paper or muslin bags which are tied
and placed in a larger bag. Store il
a dry, warm, airy place.

the corn too dry. It should not be
kept in warm or heated room. New
popcorn may be used as soon as it
has dried out sufficiently. If properly
stored it may be ready for use by
Christmas.
If old popcorn will not pop on &C
count of having become too dry, the
popping quality may be somewhat re-
stored by moistening or sprinkling
with water before popping. If very
dry it may be soaked in water for
while and then spread out to dry for
few days before using; or the dry
corn may be put in shady place out
doors for a time where it can absorb
moisture from the open air. If in
jured by frost while yet green or i'm
mature, or if harvested before ripe,
or heated when it is being cured, or if
moths and weevils have damaged the
corn, the trouble may be remedied by
these methods.
Given good corn, the next necessity
is a proper kind of fire. Do not take
too much popcorn at one time, not
more than enough to cover the bottom
of the pepper one kernel deep. Hold
the pepper high enough above the fire
Or heat to keep from burning the kerr
nels or scorching them too quickly.
The right degree of heat for best re-
suits should make good corn begin to
pop in liz minutes. This gives the
maximum volumA of increase in pop
ping. If it begins to pop in less time
or if too large quantity of corn is
put in at one time the product will
not be so crisp and flaky. If it takes
much longer for the popping to begin
either the popcorn is of poor quality
or the heat is probably not great
enough, or there may be other inter-
fering causes, such as drafts Of cold
air.
If the popcorn is Of first-class con-
dition and the heat properly applied
one pint of unpopped corn should give
fifteen to twenty pints of popcorn.
Popcorn has considerable value as
food, and, aside from it's use as a
CONNECTION, when properly prepared
for the table is superior to many
breakfast foods now on the market.

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DR.. LEE Fl. SMITH.
BY DR.. LEE Fl. SMITH

An old enemy is with us again, and
whether we fight German or germ, we
must put up a good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs a very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three Cs-a clean
mouth, clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses OF
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
a one is made of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DIR. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after NOT
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by DIR. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys they carry away much Of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
ter1nilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful Of sal
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store good iron tonic, called
'Trontic'' Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic. DIR. Piercc's Golden Medical

WY HEN General Allenby and
AN/ his victorious army captured
W Damascus from the Turks,
y they took what is called the

OdIudSCuS IfOLu IuC 4UIhos
y they took what is called the
'soldest city in the world" The claim
is based upon frequent mention in the
Old Observation-Disclosures it is referred
to, by various names that serve to
identify it, and in the New Testament.
Josephus affirms that it was founded
by Uz, the son of Aram, who gave to
the region the name of Syria, which it
has retained to this day.
Damascus was a f1Ourishing trade
center in Abraham's time. One Of the
earliest novels" in all literature
equally so whether true or fanciful)
is the story of the Jewish maid taken
captive by Naaman, Syrian general
Gil Kings). Naaman was leper, but
the captive suggested getting the adj
vice of a prophet at Samaria. He did
so, but when told to battle in the JOr-
dan he was vexed, saying that plenty
of water existed nearer homie. How
ever, he did go to the Jordan and was
cleansed. Good story.
If you doubt it, the next time you
visit Damascus any of the old inhab-
itants will point out Naaman's house.
Elisha figures in the early history
of Damascus. Ben-I1adad (946 B. c.,
at a guess), king of Damascus, was
murdered, and the assassin improved
conditions so greatly that king killing
became popular.e The king of Judea
resented the success of the upStart
monarch and, with help from the ruler
of Assyria, took the city and killed it's
ruler. This made good prediction
of Isaiah.
The early prophets appear to have
''had 1t in" for the people at DamaS-
Gus; they spent a great deal Of time
in prophesying i'll of that city. And,
bad cess to their activities, most of
their predictions came true.
The city was under the sway of AS
syria for nearly 1000 years-a mere
episode in it's history. It's people first
awakened when the Romans under
Pompey moved in, about 81 B. G.
Herod had controversies with the
Syrian rulers in which he came off
second best.
Made Familiar by ST. Paul.
1t is in New Testament times that
one seems to be brought into most in
innate touch with Damascus. The
memorable journey of st. Paul to the
city of Jerusalem, and all that hap
pened during and after it; the ''street
which is called Straight" the house
of Judas; the visit of Ananias; the
subsequent preaching of St. Paul in
the synagogues: the plots to kill him,
and his escape from the city by night,
are all names and incidents familiar
to Christians the world over. 1t was
to Damascus, too, that st. Paul re-
turned after his three years. sojourn
in the wilderness, and in no other
period in its long history does the an
Gent city on the banks of the ALBANIA
seem to come so clearly into view.
Later on, under Trajan, Damascus
became a Roman provincial city, and,
on the establishment of Christianity,
the seat of a bishop, who ranked next
in authority after the patriarch of An
tioch. Even when this point is
reached, wealth of history still lies
ahead: There is the great story of

Wooden shipbuiIding in Australia.

The lack of shipbuilding and the
