ment is under way to place 10000
Turks, loyal to the sultan, at the dis
position of the British forces and un-
der command of British officers. The
French have re-estabIished railroad
communication between Adana and
Aleppo. Probably 1900 refugees will
be removed from Adana to Cypress.
A disturbed condition exists from
the western borders of Turkey straight
east for 2,500s miles to the western
border of China. In the Caucasus boil
shevism is strong. A disquieting situ-
alton has arisen at BatOum where the
Georgians who have been opposing all
lied occupation, threaten to join the
bolsheyiki and take over the whole
region. Armenian mobilization has
been ordered in preparation for pos
sible campaign against the Tartars
and Azerbaijanese over disputed ter
ritory. Warlike Kurds, relieved of
Russian restraint, come down from
the north and attack and pillage Ar
menian settlements frequently.
The council Of the League of Ma
tons is seeking guardian for Ar
menia. That it may be somewhat diff
ficult to find is evidenced by the re-
port Of the American military mission
to Armenia headed by Gen. G. G. Har-
board The report recently made pub
lie states that any country accepting
the Armenian mandate will require an
army of $1,000 men, a good-sized fleet
of naval vessels and an outlay Of
$757 100000 during the next five years.
The mission demonstrated its COM
pleJe neutrality by enumerating Ii
reasons for accepting the mandate and
10 reasons against acceptance, rather
implying in the significance Of the
numerals, that 1t is unlucky If we do
and unlucky if we don't. OF special
bearing on the case of Armenia and
other minority peoples who have been
under Turkish rule is the declaration
of the council Of the League of Ma
lions that it will guarantee clauses in
the Turkish peace treaty providing for
the protection of all non-Moslem nil
noritfes:

There are countless uses for tin
boxes.
Most dealers in cigarettes have on
hand boxes of this kind, eleven inches
long, six inches wide and four inches
deep, which are thrown away. Some
dealers are glad to accommodate per
sons who desire these tin receptacles
and will give them away without cost.
The following are some very good
ways in which the tin boxes can be
utilized:
Lunch boxes when out camping or
fishing, as they will hold a good sup

Covered with white enamel and

WOMEN NEED SWAMP ROOT

Thousands of women have kidney and
bladder trouble and never suspect it.
Womens' complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, 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
bition, nervousness, are often times symp-
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment. DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root, a physicians pre-
scription, obtained at any drug store, may
be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.
Get a medium or large size bottle i'm.
mediately from any drug store.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.--Adv.
