TAKES CAMEL'S PLACE
Jerusalem Is ModerniZed by Mo.
tortruCk.
Beasts of Burden Are Smothered in
Dust of Speeding Auto
mobiles.

Jerusalem.-The life of two periods,
distant by many centuries, seems to
flow along the roads that lead to this
ancient city.
The camel, though he has done great
things for the British forces, is losing
his position as the main means of
transport, and the natives driving their
camels carrying huge packs Of East
ern merchandise are passed by the big
engines Of the evergrowing British
broad-gauge railway, at which the
country people stare with open
mouthed establishment. Then along
will come an -Assyrian or an Arab on
his donkey or mule, his wife walking
behind and carrying great pack on
her head. In this way they transport
much stuff for many miles. Now they
are smothered in dust from the great
quantity Of motor transport on the
roads.
The five barley 1oaves and small
fishes still have to feed a good many
people in this country, and women
may still be seen grinding their scanty
cup of corn between stones, but now
with the introduction of good seed the
country already is showing signs Of
vast Improvement. Cotton is still
made up into rough material in
primitive method on kind of bow.
With the new opportunities now open
ing up the old spinner is likely to be
looking for another job.
Already in quite small towns you
will see names of wen-kndwn London
firms. This has aroused the local
shops to kind of competition, and all
kinds of important signs over small
shops, with hardly anything to sell, an
nounce: "The Provisions" "The Up
to-date Hosiery and Dry Goods Store"
'The Manchester House," and many
similar. It is doubtful if per cent of
the prospective customers can read
the signs.
Shepherds on the hills still tend
their flocks, dressed in camel hair, and
nightly light their camp fires to keep
off the prowling jackals and hyenas.
But in the future much of this rich
land, now practically barren, is likely
to receive the attention Of the steam
tractor.
Altogether, with the present means
of transport by rail, the great improve
ment in the water supply and the
rapid introduction of European meth
DDS and customs, it may be hoped a
year or two of peace will change this
country into a real "land Of milk and
honey"

FLAX DISTRICT is RUINED
Belgian City Taken by Germans Shorn
of Barges and Precious
Machinery.

Neutrality-suspicious. the war Cour-
trai was center for the production
of fax of European Importance, and
the city harbored for this purpose a
large English and Irish colony. Now
the whole flax district is ruined. The
large barges in which the flax was put
to rot in the Lys were sold by the
Germans as frewood much below their
value.
The copper from the fax mills and
the other precious machines were
requisitioned. The soldiers were quar-
tered in the factories and the cele-
brated 'LeicWeerschen," the plains on
which the fax was bleached, were
plowed and planted with tobacco and
potatoes. Many, indeed, of the fertile
flax fields were turned over several
times and many served as battlefelds.
1t will be years before the fields bear
fax again.

TELLS OF FALSE DIAGNOSES
Doctor Jackson Says Foreign Sub
stances Often MisIed
Physicians.

Atlantic City, N. MANY physi-
clans were misled by the presence Of
unsupported foreign substances in
lung cavities and rushed patients to
California and other distant places to
recover from purely imaginary tuber-
culosis, declared DR.. Chevalier O..
Jackson of Pittsburgh in an address
before the American ROentgen Ray So
ciety at the Hotel Traymore. He adj
vOcated that persons believed to have
bronchial affections should submit to
the ROentgen ray at least once a year.
In a resume of doctors errors, Doc
tor Jackson told of the discovery Of an
inverted staple in man who had been
under treatment for tuberculosis for
Is MONTHS and of the finding of the
top of an atOmiZer in patient who
had spent much time in California. He
said that the rays had discovered an
umbrella tip in the body Of a daughter
Of a physician after the girl had been
an invalid for six years, of the location
of a siX-penny nail which caused Gun
mistakable symptoms" of tuberculosis,
and Of the finding Of lacks which also
confused the diagnosticians.
DR.. Charles A. Waters, United States
army medical corps, declared that
thousands of American soldiers had
been saved in France by the use Of the
most modern methods of locating bull
lets and shell splinters. He declared
that speed by the American surgeons
also saved many lives and declared
that when the marines stopped the
Germans at Chateau-Thierry, the
American surgeons passed wounded at
the rate of $50 every day.

BULL MORE THAN
HALF THE HERD

n Waupaca county woman has
found that she could increase her in
come $500 year by using a purebred
bull instead of scrub.
In 1905 a herd of II native cows
produced S43SSS worth of milk and
cream. The owner was disappointed
and felt that she should try and i'm
prove her herd. She purchased a pure
bred bull.
In 1910. five years later, the herd
still consisted of II COWS. These COWS
were all grades descended from the
original herd, but sired by a purebred
bull. Based on practically the same
prices as those Of 1905, this herd of
five COWS and seven heifers produced
milk and butter valued at $1,000.
Five hundred and sixty dollars q
year was the income which a purebred
bull ADDED to this farm woman's in

COLONEL PACKED
FOOD To men
Soldier lauds the Bravery OF
Leader of Chicago
Regiment.
WENT FORWARD UNDER fire
1t Was at ChipilIy Ridge, and Men
Had Nothing to Eat for Couple of
Days-CoioneI Wanted to Be
Sure They Got 1t.

New York.-That Col. Joseph B.
Sanborn, commander of Chicagos old
First Illinois National Guard regiment,
personally carried food to his men
through terrific fire in that engage
ment at Chipilly ridge in August, when
Chicago's noted regiment was shot to
pieces, was the story told by Sergt. G.
William Keane of Chicago, who re-
Gently arrived here on board a trans
port from France.
Keane, who was a student at Notre
Dame university until Villa cut loose
in Mexico, has several heroic feats to
his own credit, but he attributes his
bravery to Colonel Sanborn's inspir-
ing leadership. Keane had the Mill
tary cross pinned on his breast by
King George on the same day that
General Pershing was made Knight
of the Bath. He also wears the Amer
lean D. S. G. Keane has lost his right
leg.
Tells of Sanborn's Bravery.
His story was told by buddy of
his in the One Hundred and Thirty
first infantry, but young Keane in
terrupted with:
"Say, if you were fighting under a
man like Colonel Sanborn, our COM
mander, you couldn't help pitching in
with every drop of blood in your body.
Do you know what Colonel Sanborn
did at Chipilly ridge in August, when
our outfit was so badly shot up? We
were up there with nothing to eat or
drink for couple of days until Col
onel Sanborn personally brought ra-
lions to us on his back under the most
terrific fire that ever experienced.
"He did that because he wanted to
be sure that the food would reach us
and he figured the best way to make
sure was to carry it himself. Who
wouldn't fight like the devil under a
commander like that?"
Keane went to the Mexican border
with the First and re-enlisted later for
overseas service. He was decorated by
King George for his work at Hamel on
July 4 when the One Hundred and
Thirty-frst was brigaded with Aus
tralians.
Keane Rescues Wounded.
Keane had charge of directing the
work of stretcher bearers. Party after
party of them went into No Mans
Land that day and failed to return.
Keane went out to find them. He
found them dead, lying across the
stretchers with the wounded men. They
had been killed in their work of mercy
by the Germans. At that moment a
party of Germans made a sortie to
capture Keane, but it ended in his kill
ing several of them, forcing the others
to surrender and to carry the wounded
men and the stretcher bearers they
had killed back to the allied lines.
He won the American Distinguished
cross in the Argonne on October 10,
when he stood in No Mans Land di-
recting the work of rescue till an ex-
plosive bullet shattered his leg.

The settling of peat should be con-
Sldered in determining the depth to lay
tile in deep peat. Undrained peat is
Waterlogged and does not decay nor

bacteria are introduced in manure and
decay of the peat begins
Nearly everyone familiar with the

both before and after drainage This
observation consists of four elevations

deep. The average of the II readings
showed that the marsh had settled
nearly four inches in the first year of
drainage.
| do not believe in shallow thing of
peat, when it is possible to tile deep.
However, I believe there are instances
when it is justifable to tile peat as
shallow as three feet. l would advise
thing shallower than four feet rather
than not tile at all under the follow
ing conditions: (1) When the peat
is reasonably we'll decayed and set
tied as in old pastures. (2) When it
is impossible to get an outlet to tile
deeper. CD When the tile system will
drain the land thoroughly for a long
enough period of years for the crops
that can be grown to leave a good net
profit on the investment.
