lance of accurate, first hand informa-
ton about the Armenian situation, sent
Capt. Benjamin Burgess Moore Of the

best that sympathetic Americans can

BARK ON TREES NOT WOOD
Il Is Composed Of Three Layers Of Tie
sues, Each Of Which Has lmpor'
tant Function.

Bark on trees and shrubs CORE
spends with skin on animals. But 1t
has other uses which the skin hasn't
Bark isn't wood, and 1t isn't formed
as wood Is formed. It covers the wood,
and 1t Is generally an easy matter to
separate the bark from the wood.
Hemp and jute and fax are all bark
the outside covering Of certain vege
table growths.
Bark is composed Of three layers
of tissues. The inside layer conducts
food to the plant, and under a mag
nifying glass Is seen to be made up
Of tiny fibers. Then there is the green
zone" as It is called, and this also ID
flbrous, and helps feed the plant. The
outside layer is cork, and is really
dead. That Is, these cork cells deVel-
CD and die Immediately, so one really
sees only dead tree when he looks
at the bark. The cork Of commerce
Is the bark Of q certain kind Of trop-
ical tree, but the outer layer OF bark
Of all trees is technically known as
cork, and the little cells going to make
It up are called cork.

SOMETHING IN YOUR ,EYE7
There Are z Few Simple Rules for IN
Removing Of Irritating
Particles

Though many people have become
expert In the art Of removing irritat-
Ing particles from the eyes OF others,
a few words on this subject will not
be out Of place. In removing q for
eign particle from the eye, ask the pa
tient to look down, and then take hold
of the eyelash with thumb and fore
finger Of the left hand and pull the eye
lid downward and slightly away from
the. eyeball. Next evert, or turn back,
the eyelId by placing midway between
the eyelashes and eyeball the tip OF the
thumb Of the right hand and make the
same movement that would be re-
quired to turn back the edge OF coat
sleeve.
If the particle Is located on the In
terror Of the upper lid 1t may be re-
moved with clean handkerchief or
q piece Of clean cotton placed on the
end Of a toothpick or match. If the
irritating substance is not on the upper
lid try to find 1t In the same manner
on the lower lid and remove 1t In the
same way. When the particle Is I'M
bedded in the cornea, or covering OF
the eyeball, 1t is best to consult ply
stefan or eye specialist. After remov-
ing the particle from the eye 1t Is ad-
visable to irrigate the delicate men,
Der with boric acid.
Under no circumstances should any
one touch the eye with handkerchief
or other agent that has been mois-
tened with saliva or with the tip of the
tongue.
In treating the eyes with some kind
of LIQUID medicine one should take care
never to invert the dropper after the
solution has been drawn into the
rubber end downward and the fluid
permitted to run into the rubber and
then back into the glass as the solution
will very likely contain particles OF
powder that have washed Off the rub
Der bulb, and these may irritate the
eyes. Always hold up the rubber end
Of the dropper. The fluid should never
be dropped directly on the eyeball un-
less the physician has so advised
The proper practice Is to draw down
the lower lid and place the drops on
the exposed inner surface Of the LID.
One or two drops are always sufficient
and it is only waste to. use more

The human body has to be heated and fine foods burned inside the body pro- duce muchwaste. All this waste should be removed from the body regularly, thoroughly, daily, by the eliminative organs,-which are the bowels, kid neys, skin, and to some extent the lungs. These should act in harmony if the bowels are inactive extra effort is required of the others, which easily become deranged. Many medicines will force bowel action temporarily but the after effects are harmful. Many remedies are adver- tised, some of which have proven year after year to be reliable, effici- ent, and without harmful action or effect. Take Beecham's Pills for ex- ample.
