]. s. WOMEN FIGHT
IYPHUS IN SERBIA

Palanka. Serbia. May 10 (By Mail. J
Six American women have fought
typhus to a standstill in this remote
little Serbian town. Here one Of the
foulest pest-holes in northern Serbia
was cleaned up by American women,
both literally and hguratively. One
of the, nurses, fell ILL of typhus In her
brave fight against the disease.
The American women, nurses of the
Red Cross. found the enter of the
typhus plague in an army barracks.
Here 267 Serbs and BulgariAns lay
sprawied about on the floor. without
bedding or medicines, with typhus lice
crawling about them.
The barracks. by courtesy called a
hospital" had no modern surgical in
struments. no baths. no toilets with
running water, no pals. no utensils, no
nurses, no medicine. The stencil from
the room in which nearly 500 ema-
ciated. hollow-eheeked men lay on
their filthy straw was overpowering.
Here human scarecrows with their
skins like yellowed parchment drawn
across their homes had lain down in
their rags to die.
With the exception of the cook who
gave them greasy cabbage and meat
stew three times a day. no one came
to attend them until the arrival OF
the American nurses. Those who slept
when the soup was ladled out got
nothing Each day several typhus VIC
tins were taken out on two planks
nailed together and buried in trench
near the barracks
The American women installed de
Iousing' baths. used up hundreds OF
gallons Of lysol on the men, clipped
and shaved the inert victims, then after
bathing them in hot water, put them
into freshly set up beds with white
linen sheets. gave them. food Mt for
convalescents, distributed American
pajamas. scrubbed. whitswashed and
disinfected the hospital from cellar
to garnet. drained nearby cesspools.

MUSIC Of the TUDOR
TINES CONE BACK

London June 2.-virginal music
and the Engl.ah ipstrumentaiists OF
the Tudor times, are once more being
given their due position in musical
history. a paper on that subject
likely to be regarded as classical was
read before the Musical association
during its sortythird session, and now
Mr.. Frederick Dawson has been adj
dressing the Sheffield University Musi-
cal society on the subject Of "Virginal
Music and It's lnfiuencA on Modern
Music He said that the English in
strumcnialis's of Tudor times were to
he found at every foreign court. and
no doubt were The fathers of instru-
mental music. That this had not been
generally recognized was due to the
fact that the original work of English
composers was subsequently annexed
by eontin entail musicians and accepted
as their original work. AS an instance
the lecturer gave .eThe Bells OF Byrd
which was rne of the landmarks of
musical history. Byrd was one OF the
fathers Of music and not merely or
English music. II had been said that
the three greatest composers were
Beethoven, Bach and Brahms; but
Mr.. Dawson said he preferred to take
as the chief triad Byrd. beethoven,
and Bach, with byrd the greatest of
The three. Much point was given to
the lecture by Mr.. Dawsen's illustra-
tions on the l. aao with examples from
he English vaginal composers ch osen
so as 10 compare their work with
modern music. The thanks Of the
meeting we're expressed to MIR. Dawson
hy the vica- chancellor Of the univer-
sity CDR. w Ripper for lecture
which had been delight to them all.

ARE YOU DISAPPOINTED

often by not feeling well enough to at
tend some social gathering, or to keep an
appointment, on account of an attack of
indigestion? Such experiences cause dis
appointment, don't they?
You can ward off these attacks, and
keep your stomach and digestive organs
healthy by taking SEVEN BARKS, Ma
lures remedy of roots and herbs.
When the stomach is out of order, the
liver not working properly or the bowels
are sluggish, a few doses of SEVEN
BARKS will stimulate the liver, regulate
the flow of bile, expel distressing acids
and dangerous poisons, and quickly re-
store you back to good digestion and
normal health.
Stomach disorders are the direct cause
of nearly all the ailments that affect the
human system, and make life burden,
instead of a pleasure.
Digestive trouble also spoils beauty,
robs you of sleep, makes dark rings
around the eyes. and ruins the complex
ion. Let SEVEN BARKS digest your
food and tone your stomach, then you
may eat what you like and bright eyes
will soon return.
Ask your druggist for SEVEN BARKS.
If he does not happen to have it, he will
get it for you. Accept no substitute.
