People Of the World.

The total population of the earth
is 1896, 600, 900, according to the latest
edition of the Gotha Hofkalender. The
1919 estimate was 1,646,000,000. The

Africa, Asia and Australia, has 1,494,-
100000 people, while the Western hem

The average. density of population
Of the earth Is 2S.5 per square mile.
while Australia is most sparsely set

North America the average population

The greatest uncertainty exists as
to the population of Persia, 'Abyssinia

100000 to 100000, 100000 to 12

Pointer for the Housewife.

The woman who reduces herself to
a FRAGILE and her family to nervous
wrecks does it by trying to do each
separate piece Of work to perfection.
We oil like a perfectly appointed
household, but it is vastly more impor-
tant that home should be comfort
able, where the family likes to gather,
than that no grain of dust should ever
be seen. Housework, done right, Is
more healthful than almost any other
work. Making beds is an excellent ex-
ercise for sluggish liver, but don't
forget that a tired housewife may be
rested and refreshed by a brisk walk
In the fresh air. Fatigue Is often
caused from bad air, and with the
lungs filed with pure air the body is
able to throw off the poisons.
Pick out the important things to be
done daily and do them, reservfng
time and strength for these things.
The important thing is meals. They
mean more to the family than any
thing else, as they are the fuel which
keeps you going.-Exchange

CRUSHED BY TURKS
Invaders Heel Trod Heavily on
Town of Aintab.
Americans Are Busily at Work Help
ina to Rebuild Once Prosperous
Little City in Eastern Syria.

coed walls, the fresh green OF grace

and there in slender beauty-tms Is
the picture greeting the visitor ap-
preaching through the mountains RIM

of Aintab, which nestles at the foot
of Mount Taurus on the eastern coast
Of Syria, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
Aintab was not only beautiful, but
prosperous In those days before the
Turk invaded the land, swept 1t bare
Of its industry, scattered its people to
the four corners of the earth, and de-
ported them inland to the desert or
outward to the fringe Of seacoast.
Today, however, as one approaches
more closely to the town, one sees that
there are gaps in the rows of white
succeed houses that many of those
picturesque red-tiled roofs are falling
In, that many of the houses are empty
and decaying, and that the town which
looked so beautiful from affair is really
a shell, an echo of that once busy,
fiourishing Aintab which with its 49,
600 inhabitants, formed an important
link in the caravan route from Con-
stantinople, and was known far ano
wide for its trade In fooled leather
and its great cattle market.
When the first party of Americans
from the Near East relief reached Ain
tab after the Turkish military had
swept on its devastating course, the
wanderers, hearing that help was to
be had, began to come struggling back,
They must be fed and housed, their
homes remade. schools rebuilt for their
children, and places must be provided
for the little ones left homeless
Promptly the work was begun and
took on at once twofold significance

for the workmen, but also shelter fol

Slowly but surely Aintab is coming
into her own once more. New Armen

the ashes of the old; refugees ar
pouring back from desert and noun
tains and the shore Of the sea. AND
