the bulk of the wood but upon its

There is special opportunity for
greater use Of wood for fuel in New
England, New York, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri and the lake states, where
there is rural population of about
20,000,000, which is estimated to use
annually 1S,000000 tons of coal. A
considerable proportion of these fuel
users will find wood available close
enough to their own neighborhood to
make long freight hauls unnecessary.
BY turning to wool they will not only
conserve the fuel supply and relieve
transportation, but are likely tG con-
tribute to the prosperity of their own

tunity to sell wood fuel would tend
to encourage the Improvement of farm
woodlands by proper Trimmings.
An increased market for wood fuel
should open up good opportunities for
operators of thrasher and Silo-cutting
outfits or others who have gasoline or
kerosene engines to do custom saving

Mrs. Stone said:

the benefits l have derived from the

where l lay for six weeks, entirely
helpless. The least noise would upset
me and was not allowed to see any
one for fear it would excite me, and l
was told that my entire nervous sys-
TEN had suffered total collapse.
You see, l had passed through the
great San Francisco fire, in which l
lost everything | possessed and my
experience was severe shock to my
already over-wrought nervous system.
When at last was able to get out of
bed l would have such awful dizzy
spells that everything in my room
seemed to spin around as though l
was in the centre of whirlpool. My
stomach was so weak and my appe-
tite so poor that l hardly ate thing,
and what little l forced down soured
and formed gas that pressed up in my
throat and chest and made me hoarse,
so much so that l had difficulty in
speaking. l also suffered much from
pain in the lower part of my body
from the gas. My liver, too, was all
out of order and my kidneys gave me
no end of trouble.
when my son-in-law saw that the
medicines | was taking were doing
me no good, he induced me to try
Tanlac, as he said it had done him so
much good he believed it would help
me, too. To oblige him l got a bottle,
and the first few doses convinced me
that it was just what l needed, and
my first bottle put me right on my
feet. l am now on my second bottle
and am in splendid shape, for my
nerves are practically in normal
state for the first time in several

"The Fields of
The Fatherless"

seE INTER- not into the Fields Of the
II Fatherless" has a doubly pro-
phetic meaning IN the case of the book by
that name brought out by Doran, purport-
ing to be the self revelation Of London
servant girl named Jean Roy. You viii
not escape being badly bored, as it Is
volume without reason or excuse for ex-
istenee. Ii there ever was such a person
as Jean Roy she led probably the stupid
est life that was ever a servant girls, but
it is our belief that the woman who wrote
these pages is some hard working literary
person who shifts her identity with the
seasons demands. She might well argue
that the spring Of 1919 would be the
ideal time for book on servants. While
they are so rare there ought to be some
comfort in being allowed TO read about
their charmed lives, she might reason.
For all we know she may be the author of
the late anonymous attack on Women,
and anyway she ought to be hunted down.
To get back to ourselves and the un-
IOrtunate eHecS Lne bOOh ndu Ou us. We
started out with the happiest hopes, but
they were dashed before three chapters
were done. We felt just as We should
have, that we would enjoy reading about
servant girls, even as we do about fairies
or extinct but beautiful birds. But Jean
Roy thinks little and does less that is Of
any possible interest. There will be those
who will say that the book is Interesting
as character study. Take it from u"
as the urchins say, this character is not
worth studying. At times something
seems to be about to be happening, but it
never does. It would have been better, al
ways assuming Miss Roy to be real per-
son, that she should have he'd than that
her readers should be put to the trouble of
reading so much about nothing.

Gordon Holiness Latest
House With a Mystery
By GRANT M. OVERTON.

CPEAKING of houses, as it is necessary
~ to do now and then, the occasional
people who want TO rent haunted or
troubled home need only consult the pub
lished novels Of Gordon Holmes to get IN
usual and interesting specifications. Mr..
Holiness newest story is about house
that, if it wasn't exactly haunted, was at
any rate unpleasantly inhabited. The
House 'RO,l1d the Corner had a stained
glass window with a devil;sh eOuntenanee
in it. a twe-year-old memory of suicide
and when Robert Armathwaite took the
lease) a girl in the attic. Fine! Prop
up the pillows and set the clock back lest
time slip by too fast.
Funny thing about Gordon Holmes, as
Bob Holiday would phrase it. His story
is in an English setting and is published
by the publisher of LOUIS Traey's excel
lent mystery yarns. Moreover, the scene
is Yorkshire as it was in Mr.. Tracy's
The Rerellers, and one of the lesser char
aeters is named Mrs. Suarez. A Mrs.
Suarez was an important part of The
ReveLeys. We seem to detect other re-
senablanees TO Mr. Tracy's work 50 de-
cided IF intangble) as 10 make US, specu
late: on Mr.. Holiness identity. Is he re-
lated TO Sherlock or TO Mr..
Traeyf Don't tell us they're one and the
samel 80. 80.
Hiking back to TIE House Round the
Corner-it's a fine puzzler. There is a
weakness in the action In that the mystery
depends upon a remarkably close physical
resemblance between two persons. Such
resemblanees exist, Of course, but they are
rarely 80 great as to defy detection by
family physicians after death. The cen
trail mystery is not only perfectly con-
trived, with this exception, but is kept
dark 10 the very last two or three pages.
There are lesser mysteries of generally
pleasant sort. The whole story is agree
able reading. Horror and madness have
no place here, only curiosity, and a mo
ment, now and then, OF chilly excitement.
1t is refreshing to get away from the at
mosphere of crime, crime, crime in a mys-
terry story. You can sleep after finishing

to conserve the supply Of postal cards.
Friends who had discovered that they pos
sessed copies of "the first number Of The

at the rate of one to three a week. To
each was duly mailed word that if the
date at the head of the first column on
the second page was September 8, 1893,
his copy was a reproduction. The genuine
first number of THE Sun was wrongly
dated September 8, 1882, in that place.

"My German Prisons"

>HE tendency seeming to gain volume
l. among US to forget that We have
recently been engaged in a war with an
enemy whose brutalities have been DELHI
crate and shocking is likely to receive
wholesome check among all readers of
~ German Prisons, by Capt. Horace
Gray Gilliland, who served at the begin
nlnS of the war in Lancashire regiment
OF the British army. Capt. Gilliland was
III active service for only a brief time,
since he was taken prisoner in the first
week OF December, 1914, by the Ger
mans and did not succeed in escaping
until April s, 1917. During that time be
endured the lot of all British prisoners,
and he sets down his adventures and mis-
adventures IN this book in simple, SOL
derry language, based ON q soldiers phi
losophy to the end Of making one of
the most readable stories of the war as in
places it is one Of the most difficult, owing
to the gross brutalities visited upon him
and his comrades at the hands of the Ger
mans.
When Capt. Gilliland was taken pris-
oner he and two men were all that were
left of unit of $40 men he had COM
manded on the previous day. They must
all have been dead, and he was helpless
through a shattered ankle and three
broken RIBS, portion of one Of these
having punctured his lung, as was after
ward discovered. He has the courage to
tell IN the plainest' of language Just what
ordinarily unprintable indignities we're
inflicted on him and his unfortunate com
panions en- route to their first prison,
cold biooded murder of badly wounded
men being the least of these crimes. II
any one is of mind 10 forgive the Ger
mans for what they did in the war, let
him remember this one incident: As
Capt. Glliland and his comrades marched
through Lille to the fortress some Bel
gan women tried to give them chocolate,
whereat one Of the German guards beat
the women down with the butt end of
rifie. Capt. 'Gilliland is frank to con-
fess, however, that it was his experience
to be treated with something like respect
by all the German soldiers who had fought
against the British and French on the
western front. It was only the men who
never were in action, back along the lines
Of communication, who acted with such
abhorrent brutality.
From Lille Capt Gilhland went by
cattle truck, IN spite of his wounds and
illness, to Munden, being robbed of all his
spare clothes by the "kultured" German
populaee en- route Their trucks were
also stoned as they went along, great rocks
being thrown IN at the doors that were
heavy enough to knock a man senseless.
Even when the German Red Cross tried
to give the Engishmen some food at
Cologne the German soldiers would not
permit it, although food was allowed to
the Frenchmen in the same train. If one
read no further in this book than the de-
scription Of conditions in the old oil fac
tory at Munden serving as a prison and
the physical tortures and indignities Wis
tied On these men and could thereafter
think with anything but the bitterest ami
mostly Of all Germans and all things
German, he must have a callous nature
