little idea Of just what this meant to
those who had TO said the ships that

was sunk was photographed and the

IT. s. Sailors Are Denied Entrance
 tO BuenOs Aires

Buenos Aires, Aug. 12.-Officials of the Argentine government have been asked by the U. s. embassy here to suggest a solution of the problem presented by the American ship, Edward Sewall, sailing from Port Arthur, Tex, which has been indefinitely tied up here as a re- suit of conflict between the shil workers union and immigration au- thorities.
 While the vessel was undergoing repairs at shipyard here, six mem bers of the crew demanded their discharge, which the captain con ceded after taking up the matter with the American consulate. Immigra- tion authorities refused to permit the men to enter the country, passing their action upon the law enacted to prevent the entrance of undesirable: who have taken passage on ships a' sailors.
 They threatened to fine the ship if the men were released, but the sailors appealed to the ship workers union, which supported them and declared a boycott on the repair work being done until the captain sent the men ashore. As result the ship cannot sail without repairs and the captain is unable to discharge the men.

English Editors Regret Recognition
 of Gen. Wrangel

London, Aug. 12.-The announce ment of the recognition by France of the government of General Wrangel. as the defacto government in South Russia, has stirred up big sensa- tion in the press. Most of the morn- ing newspapers comment guardedly upon the event, although they do not conceal their disappointment of the step.
 While all the newspapers are re- luctant to assume that Premier Mil lerand himself is responsible for the recognition the Times recalls that he declared in the Chamber of Deputies on July 20 that France would recos nize General Wrangel when certain conditions were fulfilled and ii suggests that irresponsible person ages in French diplomatic quarters have taken it upon themselves to understand that the conditions have been fulfilled and tc acs according iy."
 The Morning Post, the only news paper which d-es not d;sa2nrove the recognition, declares the step was worthy of the French nation anl re- grets that G-cat Britain d;,l not act similarly. The other mornlng news- papers express their t1isapproval in varying degrees, the Times charac-

Health Advice Conducted Under Direc- tiOn of the U s. Public
 Health Service
Preventing Arterio-Schlerosis.

Here are some of the things that are easily avoidable if you want to take care of your arteries:
 Lead poisoning is one of the com. mon causes of arterio-s selcrosis. Persons handling lead (painters are frequently victims) should be very careful to have clean hands when they eat, and they should avoid all possible ways of getting any of the lead or paint in their food and drink. They should brush their teeth after each meal.
 Syphilis is the worst and most certain cause of arterio-sclerosis. This can only be surely avoided by leading a clean ,chaste, moral life. If person is so unfortunate as to have acquired syphilis, he must at once apply for treatment and be sure to stick to the treatment as elong as his doctor wants him to. It is a disease that generally requires ac- tive treatment for several years and that requires watching for the re mainder of life. z.
 Alcohol may not be a direct cause of arterio-sclerosis, but it surely very often is an indirect cause. Thus the person who drinks liquor, is more easily poisoned by lead than the one who never touches it. The person who drinks is also more likely to get syphilis, for various reasons. Then, too, it must be borne in mind that alcohol has damaging effect on the stomach and liver, producing gastritis and cirrhosis. In this way the food is not properly digest ed. Part of it is turned into poison when it gets into the intestines, and this poison enters the blood and causes damage to the arteries. This cause of arterio-sclcrosis is a very powerful one. The safest plan is to leave alcohol entirely alone.
 There are two other causes of ar terio- sclerosis, but the above are the most important avoidable causes, and it is because they are avoidable that we particularly discuss them.
