The modern proTince Of Smyrna IS
the most favored Of all the provinces
Of Asia Minor. 1t contains three OF
the most considerable rivers of the
country, including the Meandrr, whose
Serpcntinc course has given the Eng

tile soil and temperate climate have
added To the regions attractions, While
the possession Of port and city--the
city cf myrna-uneQualcd by any otlt-
er in Asia Minor has contributed an
other immeaSurably important asset.
Though impcrfec1iy TILED during its
control by Turkey. the province OF
Smyrna has nevertheless been noted
for its fine fruits. For long time 1t
has furnished the best figs and raj
sins Which reach the markets Of Eu-
rope.
Poets and travellers have sung and
told of the beauties Of the city OF
Smyrna throughout the ages. The nu-
cleus npstlps in the lCwlandS about IT'S

survived for long ages. Smyrna mas

GERMS HAVE SWEET TEETH
Their Fondness. for Sugar Costs the
World Some $25,0oo,ooo Yearly. 1t
Has Been Computed.

The human organism Is 0 the only
form of life that feeds upon sugar.
The air is full Of invisible germs each
Of which has q "sweet TOOTH" And if
one germ finds sugar, it can produce
100000 more sugar-loving germs in a
week Sugar loses so much Of its
sweetness because Of these microbes.
Every year micro-organisms destroy
over $25,0OO,0OO worth of sugar. A
barrel Of sugar in storage is quickly
infected, especially If the air is damp.
When sugar is being carried in the I'll
ventilated hold of a ship, the sugar
sweats. While passing from a hot
region into a cooler one, this moisture
condenses on the surface Of the sugar
and attracts millions of germs. This
also occurs where sugar Is stored in
warm places like refineries. 1t doesn't
pay to keep sugar for long. An attempt
to stop the ravages of the sugar germs
is being made by using dry steam in
stead Of water in the final process Of
washing sugar. In the water process,
air full of germs is sucked in. But
dry steam kills ninety per cent Of the
little. sugar eaters. j..

plete serse he found himself In bed
In a very plairlooking room. A sweet
faced. middle-aged lady stood near
him. Acute pain In his right arm
caused him to vince.
Broken" said the sy1npa-
t%hetically. He saw that she was
dressed In white.
"Hospital?' he asked.
"Not exactly" she smiled. Its the

"The Business Girls?" he asked.

women who pay a certain amount OF
their earnings every week to maintain
this institution. They work in secret,
believing that charity that proclaims
itself to. the world is no charity at all.
Its not very elegant" she apolo-
gized, 'but we hope to, have better
quarters-sometime. You can be re-
moved to one Of the uptown hospitals
in a few days" hi
She left the room and he pondered.
He had sustained two shocks In the
last few days. The first, In the form
Of $1,OOO,OOO, had put him in a daze.
The second, in the shape Of a tele-
phone pole, seemed to have brought
him out Of it. He wondered if he were
dreaming 1t all, but the pain In his
arm was sufficient to convince him.
The sweet-faced woman hustled into
the room.

to see you. I can't introduce you, for
I don't know your name. There was

other, I want to discuss a new build
