SOLDIERS BRING BACK CASH.
Many Leaving England for Home
Have Neat Savings.

LIVERPOOL, England. December
20 Correspondence of the Associated
Press).-American soldiers ordered
home since the signing of the armis-
tice are not leaving England without
funds. Most of them have some money.
and some of them have considerable
amounts.
One Red Cross officer who has been
here from London changing the
money of the soldiers from pounds to
dollars, in order that they may have
the currency of their own country
when they reach America, says:
81 have changed the money OF some
thousands of men, and not one Of
them had less than two months pay
to take home with him. Some of
them had as much as 500, while here
and there was an especially thrifty
fellow with $125. When 1t is remem-
bered that the boys have been sub
jected to the temptations of buying
souvenirs for the home folks in a
strange country and that they have
been paying war prices for all they
bought, 1t can be seen they have done
very well"

INFLUENZA HITS MEXICANS.
Ravages Among Poor Charcoal
Burners Boosts Its Price.

MEXICO CITY. January 1s.-Ravagcs
of Spanish influenza among the poor
charcoal burners who live in the noun
tains surrounding the capital are said
to be responsible for the unprecedented
price which that commodity is bring
ing. In the last month charcoal. which
is generally used for cooking purposes.
has increased about 500 per cent in
cost.
The municipality has made arrange
ments to buy this product in quantities
and retail it at reduced figures. One
paper in the capital states that almost
90 per cent of the Indians who supplied
Mexico City with the fuel were victims
of the scourge.

SPY USES TRIPHAMMER
TO SPELL OUT MESSAGES
Expert in Big Plant on Delaware
River Is Detected Through Work
of Protective League.

PHILADELPHIA, January 13.-An
interesting story of enemy spy work
is told by Frank II. Gaskill, assist
ant chief of the Protective League,
which rendered service during the
war.
The organization. Mr.. Gaskill re-
lates, was responsible for the intern
ment of a man caught spelling out
dangerous messages with a tripham-
mer he was operating in a big, indus
trial plant on the Delaware river.
The messages were first detected by a
telegraph operator in Palmyra, N. j.
He caught the hammer spelling OUT:
''Troopship moving tomorrow morn
ing"
The telegrapher notified the gov
eminent authorities who caught the
triphammer operator signaling:
Raid on fishing fleet complete sur
prise
This was several hours before the
news dispatches brought word OF the
sinking of a fishing feet by German
submarines off New England. The
triphammer expert was found to be
former telegraph operator. Mr.. Gas
kill said the mystery of where the
operator got his news or to whom
he was signaling was never solved.

Rupture Kills
1000 Annually

Seven thousand persons each year are
laid away-the burial certificate being
marked Rupture Why: Because the
unfortuuate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care Of the
sign (sweiling) of the affection and paying
no attention to the cause. What are you
doing? Are you neglecting yourself By
wearing q truss. appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call it! AT best. the
truss Is only a makeshift--a false prop
against a collapsiDg wall-and cannot BE-
expected to act as more than a mere
mechanical support. The binding pressure
retards blood circulation, thus robbing the
weakened muscles of that which they need
most-nourishment.
But science has found way, and every
truss sufferer in the land Is invited to
make a FREE test right in the privacy
of their own home. The PLAPAo method

Medical Supplies Exhausted.

On the island are two doctors. one
of whom is the American consul DIR.
Thomas B. L. Layton. Medical sup
plies long ago became exhausted.
DIR. Layton, as consul, telegraphed
the Department of State more than a
month ago. asking for aid. and the
governor of the island about the same
time appealed to France. The French
embassy here also brought the case
to the attention of the Department of
State. which turned the appeals over
to the American Red Cross.
Investigation by the latter showed
that it would take vessel about six
weeks to reach Tahiti from San Fran
cisco, and that none would be sailing
for two months. Honolulu, 5000 miles
!, away, was considered, as were Wei
lington, 400 miles. and the Island of
Samoa, 1900 miles, but at these points
there were not sufficient medicines on
hand, and the doctors and nurses
could not be spared.
The French government feels un-
able to act directly because of the
great distance. The only hope, Of
ficials now think, is the immediate
dispatch to the scene of either Brit
ish or American destroyers in Pa
cific waters.

land of Tahiti.

The Red Cross, the French embassy
and the Department of State are CO.
operating in planning to eliminate the
influenza scourge from the Island of
Tahiti, the population Of which was
lately threatened with extinction by
the disease.
Most recent advices indicate that the
epidemic there has happily passed it's
peak" The island. one of the Society
group and French possession, was a
long time in the grip Of the disease
and up to recently has waited in vain
for a response to repeated and urgen.
wireless appeals for help.
Belated plans for assistance are now
going forward while an answer to an
official query is awaited.
Reasons for Delay.
When the first cablegrams asking
aid came, the American Red Cross,
besieged with appeals from nearly
every quarter of the globe, decided
that nothing could be done for the
distant islanders. They hoped the
endemic would wear itself out in a
few weeks, or long De1ore Il reueI
ship could make the voyage. Now
plans for getting supplies. medicines
and doctors to the stricken islanders
are going forward.

population of about $4,000 inhabitants
was dead month ago, and the older
generation of natives practically was
wiped out. Official information is

self; DOCTOR Pomeroy, instead of sub
jecting him to. the conventional exam
lnatlon. takes the patient by the hand,
and goes into kind of trance.
During this trance he analyses all
the patients symptoms before "com'
ing back to earth," and dictates a pre-
scription which is taken down on the
spot by his niece, who has been his as
sistant for many years. He uses moth
ing but herbs in treating his patients,
and generally is averse to surgery.
When the trance is over Doctor Pom.
eroy is seldom able to remember what
he said while it lasted, but the method
is said to be so unerring that some of
the most successful medical men call
him as second opinion In cases where
they are in doubt of the correctness
of their own diagnoses.
