THE BRAND OF THE HAREM.

THE BRAND OF The HAkEM'
Her name Is Ephraz and she is on1y

women ad girls who are coming to
the hospitals of Near East Relief.
bearing on their faces the hatd
Moselem Brand.
The brand. which consists of ta-
toing on the forehead and chin, and
sometimes on the cheeks. indicates
clearly that its wearer has been in
Turkish harm. 1t proved useful
to the Turks while the Armenian
girls were held as slavs, for when
one of them managed to escape, the
she belonged in a harem, and see
that she got back to her owner. Ger
tain Turkish head men caused more
elaborate designs to be tattoed upon
their Armenian slaves, their own
spcial brands, which made the girls
as easy to identify as their property
as If they had been cattle on the
range.
Ephraz lived before the war near
the village of Ghenlak, with her
husband and two little sons. four
years and five years old. Her faith
er and mother and sisters lived in
the same Village. There were tif-
teen members of the two families
of whom only this young woman is
left.
She Is now at the great Armenian
Refugee camp on the Suez Canal a
few miles from Port Said, Egypt,
where Near East Relief workers are
training Refugees for self-support.
Seated at her sewing machine here,
making garments for tn refugees to
wear, her year old child, the child
of a hated Turkish father on her Lap,
she tells the story of her Moselem
brand. Tradegy has become a
commonplace among the Armenian
women and her story does not differ
greatly from others.
Ephraz saw her husbad into the
ranks, ordered on pain of
dath to fight with the enemy. She
saw her two little sons killed be-
fore her eyes. She saw her mother
die of hunger. and her brothers tor
tud and killed She saw her sis
ters meet the usual fate of Armenian
girls who fell into the hands of the
Turks.
She was held in harem Tor four
teen months. Twice she tried to
drown herself, but was preventd and
beaten by her owner. Her baby
was born shortly before the advance
Of the English hastened her release,
and that of hundreds of other Ar
nenian women.
Now, she is back again, with plen-
" of food and tender care in the
refugee camp, but with dradful
memories in her heart, and with the
mark of the harem on her face.
she hopes that her hus-
BAD may yet come back from the Tur-
Sish army, and sometimes she fears
hat he will When she talks to a
stranger she always sits with her
face in shadow. trying to hide the
infamous brand.
But Ephraz is only one of multi
.ude. Noted American investigators
ieclare there are at least 10000 of
these harem slaves-Armenian girls
under the age of twenty captured by
the Turks while their fathers and
brothers were out fighting for the
cause of the Allies
1t is for the rescue and the re-

 My former husband has the same professional ideas and ethics as I and since we have a practice which it has taken years to build up, since it is much more practical and economical to occupy the same offices with the same secretary, nurse and stenogra- pher than for each to have separate ones, I see no use and no advantage in severing business relationships and each beginning anew a professional career which has been pleasant, har- monious and fairly successful in a financial way''

Sweetheart" Doesn't Go With Detective

rHICAGO.-In the bright lexicon of N married life, thought J. c. Brock, house detective at a big Madison street hotel, there is no such word as sweetheart" But Mir. Brock erred and his error cost the hotel company $9.0OO.
 :. 4 verdict for that amount was re- turned by jury in the United States District court before Judge George T. Page in favor of Cassius c. Smiley and his wife, Harriet Presser Smiley, of Indianapolis. MT. Smiley holds a re- sponsible position with the Diamond Match company and Mrs. Smiley is proprietor Of an Indianapolis milli- nery shop.
 It appears the Smileys had retired, when Mr. Smiley decided to have his suit pressed. He rang for boy. Presently there was a knock on the door. Clad in his night shirt and with his clothes over his arm, MT. Smiley went to the door. There was no one there.
 Sweetheart, that was a false alarm" said Mir. Smiley to his wife.
 Sleuth Brock was in the corridor. His ear caught the word sweetheart" !" There was a second knock. Smiley, pants on arm, responded. Brock showed his way in. Mrs. Smiley, in neglgee. screamed and fled to a closet while her husband struggled with the

FARM ANIMAL
KILL ALL HARMFUL ANIMALS
Annual Loss Wrought by Predatory Wild Beasts and Rodents Mounts
 Up Into Millions.

Live stock and wool valued at $20,- 100000 are lost annually through the depredations of wild animals. The value of farm produce and forage de- stroyed each year by rodents Is approx imately $30O,OO0,OO0. It is esti- mated that the households of this country sustain an annual loss from rats and mice of $20O,OOO,OOO.
 These figures sum up certain of the larger losses due to destructive wild life which the biological survey of the United States department of agricul- ture is engaged in reducing as rapidly as possible. A force of between 400 and 300 experienced hunters was en- ployed by this bureau during the past year to kill predatory animals, many of which were infected with rabies;

RATION OF COTTONSEED MEAL
One Pound Per Day for Each 1,000
 Pounds Live Weight Is Most Satisfactory.

One pound of cottonseed meal per day for each 1000 pounds live weight Is the most satisfactory quantity to feed work animals, according to re- cent experiments conducted by the Uni ted States department of agriculture. A test in feeding cottonseed meal to work horses and mules at the govern ment farm, Beltsville, Md, was begun in 1918, and continued last year. When the meal was fed in large quantities harmful effects were apparent. how ever, indicating that cottonseed meal, like any other high-protein feed must be fed with care to horses and mules

 "That don't make any hit with me" {" replied Brock. Don't tell me that stuff.''
 Smiley told him to call the clerk. Brock went to the phone but said he couldn't get an answer. He ordered the couple to dress and leave.
 You don't have to order us to do that after this experience" Smiley re- piled.
 He and Mrs. Smiley left and filed suit for $25,000 damages.

 Ais wife beat John to it. She serv- ed Neil with papers in a separation suit, alleging non-support and cruel .y. She says that so far from being unfit to care for her child, she has suppofted both the baby and it's fa- ther. She says also:
 q have never worn tights in my life. When my husband met me first I was a dancer, and wore the same kind of stage clothes that 1 do now. He has never bought me so much as one pair of socks for the child, nor has he spent $200 on me since we were married three years ago.

' OS ANGELES.-In dull gold letters L on an office door in one of the larg- est office buildings in Los Angeles there are two names: Dr. Lyle Me Neile and Dr. Olga McNeile. They are both well known physicians and they once were husband and wife. Many of their patients do not yet know that they have been recently divorced. so quietly was the decree granted to Dr. Lyle McNeile on the ground that he had been deserted by Dr. Olga McNeile.
 Because woman has found she cannot care for man with that strong, deep, intense passion which alone makes marriage, is that any reason she must lose respect for him and sever all business relations?" said Dr. Olga McNeile at her office.

CT which Are wolves and Coyotes. this disease often is spread from the wild creatures to domestic animals, and frequently endangers humans. In this work of extermination the states and numerous private organizations have had an important share.
 The work of killing rodents-prairie dogs, ground squirrels, jack rabbits and cottontails, pocket gophers, native mice, wood rats, cotton rats, etc.-is also carried on with the cooperation of the states. During the past fiscal year ground squirrels were poisoned on more than 14,000,0O0 acres. In one Idaho county alone 40,0O0 rabbits were killed. In the same period from 75 to 90 per cent of the prairie dogs found on total of 2,20O,0O0 acres were de stroyed.
