Letters to queens are not written
every day by the eleven million women
Of the Council Of National Defense, so
some time was consumed In discussing
matters Of etiquette which would obtain
in writing to royal women. However,
when it was decided that with the ex-
csption Of certain forms and cere-
monies to which royalty are accus-
toned the letters should be written
simply as n woman's heart would die
tate, and as a result the following words
were sent:
Her majesty, Marie. Queen Of Rumania.
"YOur majesty: The women OF the United
States have been deeply moved by the ter.
rible sorrows which have come to you and
your country; they have been no less moved

ME women Of America, through
the women's committee of the
Council Of National Defense,
have sent to the Queen Of the
Belgians and the Queen Of
Rumania letters of sympathy and ap-
probation of the heroism and courage
with which these two royal women
have borne the misfortunes that have
befallen them and their countries.
Fearing that they might meet with
some accident, only the text of the
letters to Elisabeth of Belgium anu
Marie Of Rumania have been for
warded through the usual diplomatic
channels. The originals have been ex-
quisitely illuminated on parchment
and inclosed in receptacles which are
masterpieces of the engravers and
craftsman's skill. 1t is the intention
Of the committee to exhibit them
throughout the United States and
later put them on exhibition in the
printroom of the Library of Congress
until such time as the fortunes of
war permit their being sent to Eu
rope.

call it, Hamburger Brust Thee" at any

tea, put cup of boiling water upon

teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. 1t is the most
effective way to break cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens tire
bowels, thus driving a cold from the

JERUSALEM FAMILIES
LEAD STRANGE LIFE
Peasants All wafs Boys, AL
though Girls Are Cheaper and
i Salable For wharfage;
Na Peculiar Customs

Washington, Dec ceS1-The National
Geographical society issues a wal
geography bulletin on the family life
)f the peasants in the outskirts OF
Jerusalem and elsewhere in the Holy
Land, now under the protection OF
the British flag since the capture OF
he Holy City by General f II e
llenby The bulletin, based on a
communication to the society from
John d Whiting, says:
Children in the peasant family of
he Holy Land are always welcome,
girl babies sometimes excepted. The
lther prides himself on his boys, and
even the mother prefers them, and,
when questioned as to the number of
her offsprings, she will invariably say
hat she has five children and two
girls or as many as the case may be.
Not to have a boy is a great hard
ship to the family and is especially
felt by. the mother, for failure to have
4 son may become. the cause<of her
divorce or her husbands excuse for
marrying again This feeling is hard
to understand, since they look upon a
girl as a profitable possession, for a
would-be husband smust pay a com
paratively handsome price for her
The boy, on the bther hand, is a
greater expense and his wife and
wedding are costly affairs. The only
explanation is thai their great aim in
life is to perpetuate the name oi the
father
