our HOUSE HOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

Thursdays Tri-Weellly Journal had
an account of a cyclone that swept
over a portion of this county, April
20, but l am going to try to tell you
a few of the details. A man who
was in it said the cloud covered the
what he had in his hand. He saw
it coming, saw it scatter a house
just as child's breath can knock
down one. built of straws.
A government truck was near him
and he caught hold of that, but it be-
gan to move and he says he let go.
He thinks it was his intention to put
something under the wheels to keep
it from rolling. but that's the last
he knows about the truck, and he
does not know whether he was lifted
or rolled along, it was too dark for
him to see, even to think, and he
remembers that he tried to catch hold
of something. Then he felt some
| thing warm and yielding, he was
against it, but could not tell whether
| When the cloud lifted he was near
no living creature. He says that
the whole affair must not have been
an hour but his mind simply regis
tered certain impressions and then
| was a blank.
We live twelve miles from the
nearest devastated locality, up on a
mountain, but in our pasture, L picked
up a child's hat, a neighbor has a
| big armful of shingles, another
found q piano or organ key.
| There was one home at this near
est place, Bethel church community,
where all were killed but one son,
cows, horses, even some of the
chickens, others injured.
Our Methodist pastor was near
| RussellVille and saw a family in
coffins, there were nine killed; the
baby was in the mothers arms. She
had it when the wind demolished the
| house; it blew her a mile and landed
her in the top of a tree, the baby
/ still in her arms; her neck and one
arm was broken when they got her
! down.
Some of the houses We're lifted bod

| large barn had the top taken off and
set down like a box top would be-

AFREE BOOK FOR
PELL-EGRASUFFERERS
Which May Point the Way
to Perfect Health

PelIagra is of all diseases, the
most mysterious, the hardest to dag
nose, the most difficult to treat. Med
ical science finds It stumbling
block and is forever being baffled in
its treatment
But there is treatment which
has brought back to hundreds of
Pellagra sufferers the weight and
vitality lost through Pellagra.
We will send to any address a
booklet which describes all of the
PelIagra symptoms and explains full

answer the following questions: How
old does a girl have to get before
she is considered an old maid?'
Also, how old does a man get before
he is considered an ''oId baChelor?" I
always heard it said that a girl or
woman was considered an "oId maid"
ut thirty and man an odd bachelor"
at thirtyfive, but have heard it right
recently that girl was considered
an ''old maid" at twenty-five and a
man an 'old bachelor" at twenty
seven. Please tell me through The
Journal which is right. Will Pana-
ma hats be worn very much this

be trimmed or worn plain with moth

TURKEY SIGNS PEACE
TREATY WITHOUT FUSS
Last of Central Powers TO Remain In
State Of War With Allies Is Now
Officially at Peace

Sevres,. France, Aug. 11.-Turkey,
the last power to remain in a state of
war with the entente, signed the treaty
yesterday and is now officially at
peace. Serbia and Hedjaz alone of
the nations interested had refused to
sign.
1t was a simple, sober ceremony.
Premier Venizelos, although achieving
what Is considered to have been one of
his life ambitions, affixed his sigma
ture to the three voluminous docu-
ments-the treaty itself, an Italo-Greek
protocol, and a protocol On Asia Minor
and the zones Of influence-witht rem-
bling hand and sombre face, which
was ascribed by some as due to i'll
ness and overwork. The three Turk
ish delegates looked away as the pre-
mier passed their seats, not bowling to
him as they did to the other dele
gates.

FIVE HUN WARSHIPS ARE
BROUGHT INTO NEW YORK
Journey Across Atlantic Occupied
More Than Month.-VesseIs Will
Be Sunk After Inspection

New York, Aug. 12.-Five captive
warships, once units of the proud Ger
man navy but now humbled and bat
tered relics of defeated nation, came
into New York harbOr yesterday. Their
arrival marked the beginning of their
last year of existence, for when they
serve their purpose as exhibits, they
will be sunk.
They were the dreadnaught Ostfries-
land, the cruiser Frankfurt and three
destroyers, the V-4S, G-1O2 and S-l32.
Except the Ostfriesland, they are part
of the great fleet that surrendered at
Scapa Flow and afterwards were sunk
by their German crews. They were al
located to the United States in the di-
vision of captured vessels.
Led by the dreadnaught the only
one that could move under her own
power, they came up the Hudson as
the sun was sinking. 1t was not an in
spring sight. River craft gave them
little heed.
Because 1t was necessary to tow the
Frankfurt and destroyers the voyage
from British ports occupied more than
month. A stop of a week was made
at the Azores, where n mysterious leak
in the Ostfriesland was patched up.
For the balance of the trip they aver
aged 10 miles an hour.
In command of the Ostfriesland was
Capt ]. f. Hellweg with a crew of
400 men. From so to 100 men were
assigned to each Of the other craft.
For more than three months Captain
Hellweg and his crew worked to make
the warship navigable The Germans
had stripped her of all electric equip
| ment and furniture. Temporary furni-
ture for the officers was made of
boxes. Her engines, however, were
| found In fairly good condition.
Due to their submersion at Scapa
Flow, the other vessels are little better
than rusted hulks. The battleship still
is powerful fighting unit, according
to her crew.
