Guarding the Captor.

After the Turkish line was broken
in front of Nablus, a Tommy of poor
physique found himself in sole charge
of n whole company of Jackos. No
assistance was in sight, so the ban
tam solemnly proceeded to march the
captives toward the nearest com
pound, a few miles distant. The
Turks stumbled along, and the rough
nature of the country threw the col
umn into snch confusion that Tommy
often found himself surrounded by
prisoners. Once, while negotiating a
difficult descent, he fell headlong
among the boulders, his helmet and
rifle flying before him. For a moment
the situation seemed critical; but a
stalwart prisoner promptly restored or
der by lifting the guard carefully to
his feet and replacing the cumbersome
headgear. Then, picking up the rifle,
Abdul restored it with a graceful bow,
and the column marched on to cap
tivity.

thin PEOPLE
SHOULD take
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro-Phosphate
to Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Visor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be.
Ing advertised for the purpose of making
thin people heshy, developing arms, neck
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keeniy feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
TO starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that Will supply this deficiency so we'll as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro- phosphate, which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
by supplying the body cells with the nee
essary phosphoric food elements, bitro-
phosphate should produce a welcome
transformation in the appearance: the in
crease in weight frequently being aston
lshing.
Increase IN weight also carries with It
a general improvement in the health
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack Of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, should disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: - Although bitro- phosphate
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness
sleeplessness and general weakness It
should not, owing to its tendency TO in
crease weight, be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.

Fish Wounded in Mar

The inspector for the eastern sea

lines one in five had bad wounds.
Some were totally blind, others with

were wounded in the body. The Gro

fishermen on the Norfolk coast had
noticed many Goldfish with wounds

Rubber-Seed OIL,

The Journal of Industrial and En-
cheering Chemistry calls attention to
a report of the agriculture department
OF the Federated Malay states on the
oil from the seeds of rubber trees as
a substitute for linseed oil. The oil Is
Of high quality, requires but little re-
fining. and comes from n waste prod
uct that is available in great quantity,
and that is easy to collect, transport
and store and easy to crush. Expert
ments with consignment of 81 tons
of seeds sent to England resulted in a
yield of $3.50 ton for the oil and $40
ton for the residual cake. Linseed
oil at that time was selling at $500 a
ton.

WOMEN need SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and

Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney 'rouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in a healthy
condition, they may cause the other or.
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss of am.

toms of kidney trouble.

DAY over
Picturesque South Sea islander
Is Disappearing.
Advent of the White Man, With His
Civilization and His Business
Ideas Too Much for Once
Dreaded Savage.

The Fill islander, whose cannlbal-
istic practices long made him favor
lite with writer's of fiction and humor,
is following the Malayan pirates and
the rowing pearl thief of the South
seas into the realm of memory. A
turbaned half-caste Hindoo is replac-
ing the once bloodthirsty and always
picturesque native of the Fijis.
1t is the white mans civilization,
along with the white mans vices, and
the Fijian's utter dissemination to
work that are blotting out the race.
This Fijian of today is no longer war
like, no longer hunter and fisher
man. Instead he is a lazy smoker OF
the white mans tobacco, lover of the
white mans enlivening drinks and
patron of the white mans moving pic
ture shows.
Time was when the war canoes OF
the Fijis piled the Southern seas;
when the Fijian warrior was a dread
ed person who displayed no fear IN
battle and who enjoyed eating his slain
The Fijlans, according to the early
travellers who came in contact with
them, were superlatively bad. Inc
very name Fiji became a synonym for
whatever was barbarous, inhuman ana
cannibalistic. 1t seems that the eat
ing of human flesh was both a mat
ter of religious rite and of enjoyment
with the Fijian. Great feasts of this
sort were prepared, especially after
successful battle.
The bad reputation Of the FfJians
kept traders and missionaries away
from the islands till long after other
peoples of that section of the seas
were Christianized. Finally the white
man got a foothold in the Islands.
Trade Of various sorts sprang up, FOR
the islands are wonderfully rich In
commercial possibilities. The Ffjian
Is child who cannot grow up. He
has no sense of commercial values and
no liking for toll. The white man
found him a wretched worker and al
most unusable on the plantations that
were laid out in the islands.
That is the reason why the Hindoo
coolie has been imported into Fiji and
why the Fijian is disappearing. The
native cannot stand che double strain
of softened ways of living and of COM
peting with the work-hardened native
of India.
One notes as a significant phase of
the Europeans attitude toward the
changing conditions in Fiji, the recon-
mendations adopted at a recent meet
ing of the district synod, Methodist
mission of Fiji These recommends
tons approved the further colonial
ton of the islands by Hindoos and
suggested n number of regulations
which would better the situation Of
these imported orientals. The i'm
pCrtation of women from India was
recommended. as it was stated thar
women We're disproportionately few in
the Fiji islands.
There has been some intermarriage
between the Fills and the Hindoos.
That, too, has helped bring about the
passing of the Fiiian. Samoans also
have gone to Fiji In considerable num-
bers and have thrived there.
