reports for one section Of Austria

reports stated that in the villages
of Asch, Graslitz, Haida and Rum

Germany has disease which

in Austria, which is poorly equip

of the disease.
In one week the deaths from
tuberculosis in the city of Prague
exceeded the total number OF
births in all Austria for the same
period.
This statement was made in the
Austrian parliament and appeared
in the report Of the proceedings in
the Munich Post.
1t is not recorded that the
kaiser partook largely Of COW

SOME JUDGES
ARE ENEMIES

Brig. Gen. Friedrich s. Foltz,
in an interview at Camp Lewis,
denounces as enemies of the gov
ernment," civilian court and peace
officers who make it possible for
men convicted of crimes and mis-
demeanors to enter the army in
place OF serving sentences in jail.
Gen. Foltz received unofficial
information Tuesday that judges
In several parts of Washington
had given convicted offenders the
option Of serving time in Jail or
In the army.
THE army is no place for
criminals" he said. "If we know
that a man has been convicted of
a crime we will not permit him
to enter the service, and any
Judge or peace officer who enables
him to become a soldier is de-
frauding the government and Is
an enemy Of the army.
I'm cases where judges persist
in this practice I shall take the
matter up with them peDcnally."

Into that Swiss city the Germans
twice a day were bringing train
loads of French and Belgian
refugees-old men, women and
children-from territory fallen to
the kaiser's men. The Germans
provided these refugees with
bread and water on the trip.
At Basel, however. the train
men went thru the cars and
wherever a person was found with
his cations uneaten, they were
taken from him-at once an illus
tration of the food scarity and
the scrupulousness with which
Germany is conserving what she
has.
Even the seemingly humani-
tartan act Of bringing the refu-
gees to Switzerland, to be sent
thence into France, was a meas
ure of economy, of food conser-
vation-the Germans did not
want the burden of feeding
these people. 1t was noticeable
that among these refugees there
were no able-bodied men or young
women.

nounced a relaxation of food re-

One tin of condensed milk.
OF course, everything had to
be paid for. The prices, how
ever, were not SO high as at

The egg, for instance, cost 10
cents.
Many of the families used these
extra allowances in making up
boxes for German prisoners in
France and England.
At Paris I saw small mountains
of Christmas boxes addressed to
Germans in the various prison
camps about the city.
There is no undertaking in the

CUPID NOT IN THIS DEAL
One Case of courtship That Was Con-
Quoted Along the Strietest Of
Business Lines.

Everything was strictly business
with August Rinnick. A sign on his
desk said: This is my busy day." and
a sign above his desk said: "There are
a quarter of a million words In the
English language. Be brief"
He regarded his Office force merely
as machines of varying degrees of eff
1ciency, and 1t was therefore several
months before he realized the luscious
physiognomy and many virtues of Miss
Perch, his stenographer.
But, with August Rinnick, to think
was to act, and, the very afternoon on
which he finally realized. he summoned
Miss Perch into his office.
"Miss Perch" he said, stake a let
ter"
And he dictated as follows:
"My dear Miss Perch: 1t has lately
come to my attention that you are a
young woman of exceptional facial en-
bellishments, mental endowment and
moral efficiency. The limited time at
my command will not permit me many
details, but / may mention that since
you have been in my employ l have
never yet seen you masticating chicle
commonly known as gum-Or apply
ing powder to your nos Can organ
whose extreme delicacy of contour and
pleasing abbreviation much impressed
me). In short, my dear Miss Perch, the
idea has come to me to endeavor to in
duce You to have your surname legally
changed to Rinnick-in brief, to be-
come my wife. I will cheerfully give
you a day to think this matter over,
and shall be pleased to hear from you
at your leisure. Very truly, A. Rinnick."
In the next days mail he received
the following reply: "Mr. August Rim
nick: Dear Sir: In reply to yours Of
the Both inst, would say that l am 9TH
erwise engaged. Very truly, Therly

was persuaded to permit the drum

QUAINT OLD INDIAN COINS
So AduIterated That They Were Not
Even Accepted in England as
Value In Metal.

in 1908 the Independent state of Hy-
derabad, India, obtained a modern mint
and called in the coins that had been
current up till that time. The old mint
of Hyderabad was little more than a
coppersmith's shop in which scrap cop
per of all sorts was melted up, ham,
mered into plates, cut up into very
rough approximations of n tOla in
weight, and stamped between dies, one
Of which was in the anvil and the 9th
er in q toll held in tongs. A blow from
a sledge hammer made the impression.
There was no regularity in shape,
weight or stamping, o was the metal
uniform in quality.
The mint could not furnish supplies
fast enough, and licenses were issued
to coppersmiths to assist in production.
Naturally, the Scientific American
states, nonlicensed persons began to
manufacture, and adulteration with
lead IA so fragrant that when several
tons of these coins were sent to Eng
land as old metal they were returned
on account of their impurity and were
finally worked up into brass for local
consumption. A dub" if held in the
flame of a spirit lamp, would before it
reached red heat begin to discharge
very fine jets resembling mercury; the
lead, having reached its fusing point,
burst from the copper with a force in
dicating a very high internal pressure.

snow comes the news that two In

BARRIERS and physicians from inhal-

small curved shield of glass placed
so as to cover the nostrils and held in

partition wall OF the nose on the in
