HEARTS AFFECTED BY FEAR
Armenian Children Slow In Recover
ing From Terrors to Which They
Were Long Subjected.

According to DR.. Mabel Elliott, head
of the American Woman's Hospitals,
who Is now serving with the Near
East Relief at Ismid, Turkey, a large
number of the Armenian children
under her care are suffering from en-
larged hearts or other forms of heart
disease, due to the constant fear to
which they have been prey during the
past few years.
Relief workers In the Near East
have long been familiar with the men
tai petrifaction due TO the terrible ex-
perience through which these children
have passed, most of them having for
gotten everything of their past, their
names, their homes and their language
Included. but this Is the first instance
that has been recorded OF the effect Of
fear on their hearts.
The cure which DIR. Elliott Is prac-
tIcing with these children Is a com
blnation of mental and medical. First
Of all, they are made to realize that
they are entirely out Of danger and
among friends. Then they are put on
, special diet of nourishlng foods and
certain exercises are prescribed. Tie
results so far have been remarkably
successful.

II rose culture in certain sections. Tea
roses by this map can be grown
throughout tie South and in California,
or wherever the frosts are over IN
March. Hybrid tea roses are safe far
tier north to southern Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, New
Mexico and Arizona, where the frosts
are over In April. Hybrid perpetnals
and some hardy specimens can be
grown In the northern states where
the last frost Is in May, but where
frosts occur during the summer, as
In parts of the northwest, success with
outdoor roses Is difficult.
This schedule Is based on the suppo-
sllion that roses In the districts as
signed to them as safe will need no
special care In the winter. With Win
ter coverings of earth, straw and bur-
lap, many roses will resist frost and
cold Some hybrid tea roses, for ex-
ample, can be grown In Minnesota and
Massachusetts.
There are thousands of varieties OF
roses, and several hundred new ones
are produced each year, so that there
are roses adaptable to practically ev-
cry part of the country.

ARNOLD BENNETT ON WORDS
Bad English. is the Contention
of Noted Writer.

Arnold Bennett hates half-meanings,
and especially he hates inexact words.
He quotes from a London daily and
holds up to ridicule "The King and
queen were present at first night In
n London theater last evening for the
initial time In their reign" His COM
ments are instructive, Malcolm Cowley
writes In the Literary Review:
ut is quite first-rate example
OF bad English. The culprit, whose
name Is well known to myself and
other members of the London literary
police force, evidently thought that 1t
would be inelegant to use the same
word twice In two lines; so he sub
stituted initial for first in the second
line Perhaps he had never re-
flected that words express Ideas, and
that therefore II precise idea re-
ours, the precise word for that Idea
ought to recur. The idea expressed
by the word first Is precise enough,
and no other English word means what
first means. Certainly Initial does
not mean first Still. the man meant
well. His misfortune was that, hav-
Ing picked up good notion without
examining 1t. he imagined that repe-
tltion was iDelegant In itself. Repe-
tition is only W, ong when 1t Is uninten-
tional. and wh.n, being horrid to the
ear, 1t Is reasonably and honestly
avoidable. On the other hand, repe-
tItion. used with tact and courage, may
achieve not merely elegance but posi-
tive brIlliance."
Here is Benefits style both in
theory and practice, and the practice
agrees with the theory. The passage
is not merely clear, but 1t is brilliantly
repetitive. The trouble Is that Bennett
often goes out of his way. to repeat
himself

PLEA FOR THE SMALL BIRDS

He is no sportsman, and a vandal

In some European countries such

measures, put stop TO such butchery.
And that not simply becauseiwe ought

also because of the actual benefits
they confer upon mankind.

Lack Dramas in Verse.

1t Is a curious thing, In the present
hllh tide of the drama, and remember
Ing that the glory of English literature
is Its poetry, that we have no good
modern English drains In verse. 1t Is
all the more remarkable because the
foremost French dramatist and the
foremost modern German dramatist
wrote their masterpieces in verse form
--"Cyrano de Bergerac" by Rostand
and "Die yersunkene Glocke." by
Hauptmann.
John Masefield, when he writes
plays, writes them in prose, with only
slight exceptions. And so, for the most
part, have Synge. Yeats, Lord Dun
sany, and others. George Meredith
might have written poetic dramas In
the Elizabethan manner. Thomas
Hardy's "Dynasts" is an intellectual
rather than a poetic masterpiece-it
has nothing of the sublime, emotional,
thrilling, transporting power of Ros-
tand. We admire the authors mind
more than the work.--William Lyon

The name Sunday School has

The name derived, therefore,
from the day on which cristians
meet to teach the Bible. and not
from the nature OF The institution
Some have adopted the name

thor defines il as the bible study
and bible teaching service oil the
church. Another author defines
it thus: the sunday school is a de-
partment OF the church oil Christ
in which the word OF christ is
taught for the purpose OF bringing
souls to christ, and OF building up
souls in christ
There are TWO distinctive meth
DDS OF getting the gospel to the
world; that is preaching and tea
ching. probably the simplest way
OF defining the difference between
The TWO is to say that preaching
is a continuous discourse, in which
oaly the spe ker or preacher,
speaks and others listen.
The simplest definition OF the
sunday school, therefore, is the
teaching or school department OF
the church.
The sunday school is not. as is
often supposed. entirely a modem
institution. The nucleous oil the
sunday school is found in the Jew
lsh religion. Long before there
were any school in the strict sense
oi the word, we discover a dil'-
gence among the people OF God
10 teach their children the pfinci-
pies OF true religion.
Abraham was commended and
ehosen because he would teach his
children the law oil God. Abrs
hams 3IS servants were not trait-
ed only 10 handle the sword, but
also was instructed in relIai n.
Moses commanded the lsralites
TO teach their children dellgentiy
IN the law OF 1.-The Loid. Elisha
established schools for prophets.
and Jehosphat sent princes. priests
and levl'es 10 teach the people
the Things Of the Lord. In the
later Jewish writings outside OF the
Bible frequent mention IS made oil
5 hools which were maintained Tor
ms ructions in the scriptures
From the earliest existence the
christian church took an intense
and active interest IN the educa-
tion, both OF its own members and
all within lis reach
The Apostles preached and
taught in the jewish synagogue
and private houset. When the
Jews rejected the gospel and be-
gan TO perseeute It's advocates, the
apostle, and oih-r chris ians gau.-
cred themselves from the jewish

TO THE PUBLIC

Mrs. Katharine Manga, widow of
Peter Manga, the farmer killed by
a dynamite explosion on his farm
southeast of town on April 18th, has
sold her farm and bought a small
home in the city of Rhinelander,
where she is now residing with her
little ones.
Mrs. Manga has asked me to publish
in both local papers her gratitude to
every one who in any way have
helped her during the trying days
since the accident happened. She
wants to thank the papers for the
publicity given her cause, the Catholic
Order of Foresters for the benefit
play, the gross income of which was
$292.88; the people who have donated
clothing and other aid, and the public
of Eagle River and vicinity in general
for all the aid rendered.
Her address in Rhinelander is 557
Pelican Street.

OUR BOYS HELPED
(Copyrighted)

A big delegation of Eagle River
baseball fans went over to Rhine
lander Sunday to see the team of that
city play Amigo. The game went elev-
en- innings, the paper city boys win
ming by the score Of Z to 6. 1t was one
of the best ball games seen this sea-
son, the score being tied three times.
Paul and Bowker of Eagle River play
ed with Rhinelander and that their
playing made hit is shown by the
following, clipped from the Rhinelan-
der Daily News: Paul and Bowker fit
in very nicely, with our team, Paul be-
ing hard hitter, a good fielder, and
don't forget this same bird is also a
first class pitcher, while BoWker is
a very good outfielder, fast on the
bases, and say, how he can hit that
old apple. Think we ought to sign
the two wizards for our next years
team. Bowker led the field hitting, get
ting three out of four times up.
Sundays game was witnessed by
the largest crowd ever seen at ball
game in Rhinelander, various esti-
mates putting the attendance between
1900 and 1000. Each team has won two
of the four games played.
