OPINION RELATIVE

President Wilson general decisions
reached relative to Turkey by tie Su-

continues. Hope is still entertained,
however, that America will shoulder
her part of the oriental burden
Premier Lloyd George, of Great Brit
ain, proposed on Friday, says "Per-
tinax" grand theatrical demonstra-
ton at Constantinople---the ocaupati-
on of the war ministry, the arrest Of
statesmen working against the allies
and the substitution of =. moderate
conciliatory cabinet for tire existing
semi-nationalist ministry" He says
dismissal of Mustapha Ken,al would
also be part Of the British 9remiers
program.
"The Paris ministry has persistent

Miss Carrie Cochran Worse

AS we go to press the news from
he bedside of Miss Carrie Cochran
is that she is critically i'll. AS has
been stated in the paper, she was
stricken with influenza some two
weeks ago. She was very sick for
several days, but at the end of last
week she had rallied, and on Sunday
was so much improved that her
friends expected to see her out in p
few days. Her condition continued
satisfactory until Monday afternoon,
when she suddenly grew worse, and
since that time she has constantly
lost ground.
Her brothers and sisters are all at
her bedside with the exception Of
her sister Annie, Mrs. T. F. Dlac!:
who is on her way from Chicago. She
will reach here tonight or tomorrow.
The news of her critical illness
brings great sorrow to her relatives
and friends and especially to those
with whom she has been closely as
sociated for the past several years.

FLU PATIENT RUSHED
TO HOSPITAL IN HOME
AND PRIVATE CAR

a man named Jones, employed on
the Seaboard wrecking train, became
i'll of flu Monday night. He was liv-
ing in one of the work cars attached
to the wrecking train. So when the
railway officials learned of his illness
they ordered the car attached to No.
80 on Tuesday and it was taken to
Greenwood, where it was dropped.
An ambulance met the car and
Jones was taken to the Greenwood
Hospital. Under the circumstances it
was a quick and feasible way of
the sick man, slightly expen-
sive to the railroad company, but
highly satisfactory as far as Jones
was concerned.

Milk punches, he says, cost 80 cents

Mr. Watterson, the Louisville Times
said in its introduction to his letter,

pleasure Of observing free men take
a drink whenever they felt like it."

CHICAGO DEVELOPS A
MODERN JEKYLL
AND HYDE RACE

Chicago, March 9.-Some Of the
details of the dual life of Clifford M.
Bleyer, president of an advertising
agency which bears his name, were
barred today by a murder and suicide
or double murder, according to facts
brought before the county coroner.
Late last night, in an apartment in
a fashionable Chicago neighborhood,
the bodies of Bleyer and Mrs. Ruth
Randall were found, while Mrs.
Bleyer was at her home awaiting
word from friends who were search
ing for her husband, who had been
missing since Saturday night.
Mrs. Randall, a vivaciously pretty
woman, 27 years old, was divorced
from her soldier husband, Norman
Brown Randall, and had been en-
ployed as an advertising writer.
Excerpts from a diary which was
found in the apartment, disclosed the
fact that she and Bleyer had been
intimately associated for at least a
year.

bodies were lying when the police
with some of Bleyers friends burst
into the apartment, the authorities
believe that Mrs. Randall shot MT.
Bleyer as he was sleeping beside her,
and then turned the weapon-a very
cheap revolver-upon herself. Tend
ing to strengthen their opinion there
was found a poem in the woman's
handwriting, somewhat clever as to
meter and rhyme, but almost maud
lin in sentiment, which foretold the
dramatic conclusion Of the two lives.
Bleyer was the son Of prominent
Chicago family His father, Charles
f.. Bleyer, is in Cuba. Young Bleyer
vas educated in fine arts in several
European countries, and some of his
paintings are said to be noteworthy.

DISEASES CARRIED BY DOGS
Animal Should Be Handled in Such
Way as Best to Further Welfare
of the Community.


Many diseases of man and domestic
animals are carried by dogs Every
body, of course, knows that the dog
is responsible for rabies, but it is
not so generally known that the dog
is equally responsible for other fatal
diseases. Among them may be men
toned hydatid and gid in man and
stock, tapeworm in man and especial
ly in children, tongue worm in man
and stock, measles" in sheep, cysti-
cercosis of the liver in stock. Some
of these parasites depend so absolute
Iy on dogs as carriers that they would
become extinct If dogs were not avail
able as hosts. Dogs probably play a
part. also, in the spread OF diseases
due to fungi, such as ringworm and
favus. and they certainly play part
in the spread of diseases that may be
carried by t1eas and ticks.

CATTLE SHRINK IN TRANSIT
Owner Loses Considerable by Not
Taking Proper Precautions In
Shipping Live Stock.

Investigations by the Colorado agri-

that shrinkage of live stock when
shipped to market can be greatly re-

a comfortable car and not much crowd

animals well fed and contented when
they are loaded and until they are
sold at the terminal market. In other
words, plenty of feed and water and
comfortable quarters are most impor-
tant.
