 All of which brings us to a word about this institution which Birming- ham holds very close and very dear to it's heart and to which only once dur ing the entire year the public is asked 10 contribute.
 Do you happen to know anything about how the Childrens hospital started and on what a tiny little sum of money it's foundation. was built?'
 If not let Mrs. Alfred A. Walker the popular chairman of this years Doll Bazar" (you know it is an annual affair), tell you something about it and how very much in need of funds the hospital is, and how much she wants to be able to turn over a nice sum of money from "The Doll Bazar a it's close this week
 Since 1911, the year that the chil- dren's hospital was founded" Mrs, Walker said in speaking on this sub ject, which is very close to her heart, and of which she never tires talking, ''it mas been maintained by the efforts of splendid women-Mrs Crawford Johnson, president, whose name is synonymous with the Children's hos pitaL assisted by those composing the board of directors"
 ''These earnest interested women nave shoudered tremendous responsibilities" Mrs. Walker continued, but have always had such cordial cooperation from the public that they have never become dis outraged or disheartened."
 The physicians of Birmingham nave been one of the greatest elements con- tribuging to the success of the Childrens Hospital-its upbuilding and it's promo tion, said Mrs Walker. They have gen. erously given their services and have d. ways been interested in the growth of the hospital, realizing as they do fully, what an essential institution it is to this com munlty."

 Tn regard to the growth of the nca pital, can do no better than to quote from Mrs. Crawford Johnson, president, Mrs Walker said, who. on one occasion observed that the phenomenal growth Of the Children's hospital has come about largely through the public being edu- cated to the belief in and the very great need of childrens hospital as shown by the number of patients cared for ana administered to. During the first year Of the Chldren's hospital S9 children were cared for; in the second year. 1S9; thmi, 22S; fourth, 2i9, and from October, 191j to october, 1917, $40 patients. Of the last numoer, 65 pere contagious diseases cared for in the new ward made possible by the sale Of Helen Woodworths little book, Mir. Doctor Man
 This ward for contagious diseasesis far too small to care for the large number of cases that are reported to the hospital" Mrs. Walker said, and we are badly .n need Of funds for enlarging this particu- lar section of the hospital Of course the building fund needs contributions, as the building is not paid for, and of course the current expenses are double what they used to DC on account of the H. c. L., and altogether the amount we hope to realize from this years Dolf Bazar must of necessity be quite a large one"

7 7OW few of us. remembering our lL own shortcomings, dare to de-
 very certain we can plead 9 righteous cause that we invoke the aid of that goddess of justice, whose ban daged eyes insure impartial judgment.
 In most of the affairs of life we rely upon that beautiful quality of mercy which leads men and women to follow God-inspired instincts, 10 hep one another and. ask no reward.
 Christ uttered inspired words upon the Mount when he said: Blessed are the merciful for thew shall obtain mercy., Portia, taking this beatisude as her theme, delivered those ex- ouisite lines that are among the most wondrous shapespeare ever wrote; -The, quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from
 Heaven
 Upon the place beneath; 1t is twice
 twice blessed;
 It blesseth him that gives, and him
 that takes;
 Therefore. we do pray for mercy; and
 thabxsame
 Prayer doth teach us all to render The deeds of mercy"
 Aeons ago, great kings and queens, realizing their debt of benevolence to their feIlowmen erected magnificent cathedrals where the word of life was spoken; they builded comfortable hos pitals where acts of benevolence were done.
 During the Franco-Prussian war the Empress Frederick organized nursing corps and supervised the building of hospitals for the soldiers; battlefield hospitals have added. a new flag to the uniyerse-the Red Cross flag of mercy
 During the recent great conflict, when war darkened the world, the civilized countries poured out soul and heart in gifts to military hospitals for the relief of those whose bodies were crucified upon the cross of pain those who were the uncomplaining sacrifices of war.

perity is coming back to Chile already as a result of the first shipments of part of the 500,000 tons of nitrate sold to English buyers by the committee formed in London by the Nitrate Pro- ducers' association. It will all be de- livered within the months of October and March and virtually places the control of the nitrate trade for the time being in the hands of Great Britain. British ships are carrying the fertilizer
 Export duties on nitrate form the main source of the states revenues and the present fiscal year had shown a heavy deficit on account of the cur tailment of nitrate sales. The present undertaking, however, has had a tonic effect on exchange. which. at this writing, has gonS up almost two points. Likewise, al, stocks related to nitrate also have risen.
 Unrest in Chile, due to the high cost of living and the desire of labor for better working conditions. took the form early in September of a small strike among the brewery hands, which lated called out various other trades Mn sympathy. The general strike lasted five days and troops were called out in some instances to handle trains, street ears. run bakeries and protect non-union men who continued at work
 Two days after the general walkout, however. the executive committee of the labor federation placed their dis pute in the hands of the government, declaring that 'patriotism impelled them not to hinder the production of the country when every effort was needed to improve the economical situation" The government ,thereupon arpointed Q permanent court of con- ciliation which. in future. will con- slider and arbitrate all labor disputes.

 Tassan of Aleppo, keeper of the relics of the Prophet Mohammed, as keen as ferret and as relentless as d sword, voyages to England in quest of the lost slipper of the prophet now occupying a window in the London museum.
 With him are the Hashishn, dwarfs turned by drug into giants of strength and agility, mysterious, ghastly figures who might well be the incarnations of Hassan's evil designs.
 Against him is Earl Dexter, known as the cleverest crook in America. He has decided that the theft of the sacred slipper is to be his own job.
 Against both is Scotland Yard, vigil lant, pervasive, armed with weapon that is as long as England.
 And before all is the girl, violent eyed, beautiful, a mystery and a source of mysteries.
 As baffling a personality as one would expect from the creator of Flu Manchu, and as tense and thrilling a narrative, as one one would expect from the author of "The Yellow Claw"
