DEATH RATE DROPS
WHEN RELIEF ARRIVES

Lives Of thousands Of Armenian
children already have been saved by
the Near East Relief taking over the
Armenian Orphanages, according to de-
tailed reports, which have just reached
the headquarters OF that organization.
These institutions had been run by the
Armenians since the beginning Of the
war to care for the children whose
parents had been murdered by the
Turks. Because of lack Of food,
clothing and medicine, the death rate
among the children in these institu-
tiOns averaged as high as twenty or
thirty a day in some cases.
When Armenian funds became in
adequate the Near East Relief took
charge Of the orphanage. Since that
time the death rate has been greatly
reduced. Given good food and care
the children are quickly returning to
normal physical and mental condition.
1t is estimated by persons who have
made a survey of Armenia that 10000
children will die during the next year
unless they are given food and care.
Near East Relief is the only ursani.
Zation now operating in Western Asia
and II is making an appeal to s:ve
these Christian children.

TO obtain the largest possible amount

follow directions given below by United

cialiSts:
If a good jelly-making fruit. such as
ounce. green grapes. tart and partly

berries, is being used. make second
extraction from the fruit. That Is.
take the pulp from the jelly bag. add
one cup of water to each pound Of
pulp. cook 20 minutes. and drip il sec
ond time. using some pressure ut the
last. Second-extraction jellieS are
likely to he somewhat different in fla
vor from the first. and it Is an ex-
cellent plan to combine the two juices
before sweetening.
When fruit Is cheap and sugar
expensive. jellies may he made to ad-
vantage with One-half as much sweet
ening as usual. that u.s. with One-llalf
cup of sugar to one cup Of juice. The
yield Of jelly will he less. for one cup
of good Juice plus one cup of sugar
should make between one and olle-half
cups Of jelly. whereas one-half cup OF
sugar plus one cup of juice makes be-
tween one-half cup and three-fourths
Of a cup Of jelly.
'One half of the sweetening may be
glucose sirup. light-cOlored corn sirup,
honey. or sorghum sirnp. If the other
half is granulated sugar. there will be
little noticeable difference in sweet
ness In most cases. Grape with glu-
cose or corn sirup will make Il good

the belief must go beyond that and
agree as well that the German COM

admit. consequently, that the spirits
of tile dead German rulers and war;
riors were arrayed against the spirits
of those who represented the other

Somewhere in America is the happy

little victims of Turkish cruelty and
oppression are knocking at the doors
Of the Near East Relief orphanages IN

The most Arbitrary city boss n the

the most unscrupulOus politician Of

Armenia, to Judge from an official re-
port recently made by Major Stephen
Trowbridge, under Gen. Edmund II. II.
Allenby's orders.
He Is Turk named Besim Bey. Until
the Near East Relief agents stopped
him, he practiced upon the terrified
Armenians such forms Of super-graft
as might well make every other cor.
rupt politician In the world green with
envy, and sucl crueltfes as make all
other heartless rulers, from Nero
down. seem sweet and gentle char
acters. His Office was that Of Munic.
ipal Chief Accountant Of Aintab; but,
as all dishonest Office-holders know,
it isn't the job that matters, but the
sugar-plums that so with It. Besim
Bey plucked sugar-plums with both
hands, night and day.
Even inspired city bosses have their
day. Besim Bey's came when the
Near East Relief agents found that no
thorough Armenian relief work could
be done In that city while such cOnli.
tions of terrorization existed. General
MacAndrew ordered the arrest and
removal Of the six worst Turks in the
ring that ruled the city. and Besim
Bey qualified, as usual, for first place.

The afternoon was spent in Wis

outlined to his hearers the pro-

worth while and asked the support

Just before departing for home

PHRASE THAT BROKE THE ICE

"Cat Stitehes."

He was soldier-sailor Of breadth
and Drawn. She was delicate, tiny,
slender and shy. he handled guns,
and knives and things with which to
kill. She plucked all day with
needle and thread. Surely, between
the two, although introduced by mu-
tual friends, there was nothing in
common.
More to their mutual friends than
to herself; he talked of arms and
ships, OF ocean storms and battles on
land and sea. She said nothing, but
quietly looked at his chsvroned uni
form. His eyes followed the gaze Of
hers.
Eyes, sewed those stripes on my.
SELF" he said, as though Is proud of
that as of the battles he had fought.
They're sewed with what are called
'cat Stitches" he added.
The sewing lady forgot her shy
ness.
why, he knows what cat stitch
ing isl" she cried with the air Of
one suddenly put At ease.
So the sailor-soldier now directed
lis conversation more to the sewing
ady than to their mutual friends. |
For, by the "cat stitches" had the
ce been broken.
