E!ks' And kaceys Card Teams Divide
 Tourney In Games Last Night
 The first games in the card tourney between the teams representing New Britain lodge, B. F. o. E., and Daily council, K. Of C., were played last night at the Kaceys home on Frank lin square. The attraction brought those interested in the results from both organizations Particular inter est was manifested in the showing of General Jim Woods of the Kaceys and Colonel" John T. Foley of the Elks both reputed as among the toy notch "45" players in New Britain.
 The Elks were returned victorious in the pinochle games. 21 to 19, but it was a sad night for the team when it came to "45." The Kaceys com pletely routed the Eks at that game, winning 1o4 to o6. The showing of Woods and Foley was not only dis courag ging to their rooters, but also to themselves. Both of these stars" were soundly trounced, and for the first time in many months, Woods bid his lodge brethren and guests an early good night Foley on the other hand. was rather quiet, but like so many others who have been conquered in the past, he has quietly passed along the word, that on neXs Monday evening at the Elks' club, when the teams meet again. the re- suit will be different

Her Druggist Recommended It And AM he Family

HAIRS. A. H. SHOvAN is a much re- IVA spected resident of West Orange, Massachusetts. After taking number of medicines prescribed by physicians and otherwise learned of. without gaining desired results, she took her druggists advice. But let her tell her own story.
 "I was in a. generally rundown con- dition, weak and always tired. My food did not seem to nourish me and i'd not enjoy it. It seemed to me that all the organs were out of sorts. The doctors medicines and others that had taken did me no good. Twas in MT. Jackson's drug store and telling him of my troubles. He asked me to try bottle of Sanalt and he said if it did not help me he would cheer fully refund my money.
 "I took the first bottle and it made me feel so much better that I took two more It made me stronger in every way. was so pleased that l bought bottle for my two children, and soon found great diff ference in their actions. Now my hus- band is taking Sanalt and is already being benefited as it has had wonderfully help ful effect upon his stomach. So you sec Sanalt has done good for the whole family We were generally out of sorts as entire families often get, feverish, somewhat constipated and restless, and it seems as if Sanalt just started us going in the right way"

THREE MILE LIMIT
 MAY AVAIL LITTLE
Govt. Takes Action Against
 Liquor Vessels

Washington, March 14.-Attorney Gen. Daugherty's instructions that proceedings be instituted against the British vessel Grace and Ruby held at Boston as liquor smuggler, may establish the right of this government to seize foreign vessels for violation of the prohibition laws. even though they are beyond tho three mile limit it was indicated today at the justice department.
 The test 10 be applied at Boston, it was explained, was whether the Grace and Ruby which was operating four miles at sea could be held to have been constructively within the three mile limit because liquor was brought ashire in the ships own small boats.
 Russian Seal Case
 Authorities for such a construction of a governments jurisdiction was said to be found in what is known as the Russian seal case. In this case it was recalled the British Columbia steamer Araunah was seized by Rus sia in 1888 for taking seals in the Boring sea when she was off Copper Island about six miles from the near est land. It appeared in that case that the crew of the steamer were carrying on their operations in canoes about a half mile from the shore.
 Lord Salisbury of the British gov ernment in his opinion on the case held that even if the Araunah at the time of the seizure was herself out side the mile territorial limit, the fact that she was, by means of boats carrying on fishing within Russian Wa ters without the prescribed license warranted her seizure and confisca- tion according to the provisions of the law regulating the use of these Waters.'

ARAB GIRL LEADER PLEADS
 FOR HER NATIVE LAND NOW
tContinued From page One.1

Asked if Syria is prepared as yet for independence. Nazel al Abed re- piled: Those who know anything of Syrian politics will admit that so far the mandate system has proven an absolute failure. On dhe one hand it introduced fresh encroach- mens on the sovereignty of our be- loved country in favor of an hnper- ialistic power, and on the other hand 1t brought-to us great social as well as comhercial suffering. due to the separation of Syria from her sister country, Palestine.
 Nazel al Abed complained that the world and especially America, is so ill informed about Syria The French occupation" she asserted, "has becn curse instead of a blessing. We Syrian people today are treated like slaves. We are forced to accept French habits, French customs, a French civilization and eveh a French language, in spite of ourselces. Is it any wonder that we revoked last May?
 "All we ask now is to be left alone. free to rebuild our country in undisturbed quiet: free to i've our life in onr own way, and to solve ners. We still hope that America will not fail to help us realize our aspirations.

CAPTAIN BOWMAN WAS EARLY PIONEER OF
 ALASKA AND OREGON

Capt. Nathaniel A. Bowman, who died recently in Fairbanks, was one Of the early residents of the North. He arrived at Fortymile in 1896 and from there joined the Dawson stam- pede. In 1898 he went to the Atlin country, returning soon to Dawson. Later. he returned to Fortymile country again. After that time he devoted his time to mining and prospecting in the Fortymile, Circle and Fairbanks districts.
 Captain Bowman was true pio- neer. He was born near Salem, Oregon, in 1872. For years he fol- lowed the mining stampedes in var ious parts of Oregon, Idaho and else where in the Northwest until he came to Alaska. He got his title of Captain through his service in the Oregon Volunteers in the Modoc War.

British Galleries Expect
 Coal Demand from Canada

LONDON, Aug. 28.-A question ot immediate practical interest, r4isel
 in England by Ehe A.naG.can demand for British coal, is that of the ca. pacity of the British mining industry
 to meet the demands with the least
 injury to the requirements of other customers.
 The pressure continues to increase, and & is estimated that the Ameri, can requirement. will soon appxoxi.
 mate lO0.000 tons q day. The ronspl ge already taken up. however. does not justify that estimate, for the fixtures reported since the boom began rep resents a deldweight capacity of between 6o0.O0O and 700, ,00O tons only. A circumstance to. be reck- onea with is tlie advent of Canadian business. There are many indica- tiors ot shortage in the supply of bitumipSus and anthracite coal from fhe United Si atcs n1 which Canada, under normal conditions depends ex- clusiyely. and in the event of a con. tinuancy of the coal and railway diff. ficulties in the United Ssn.es, a ssnH0ng demand for large supplies Of English coal from Canada will doubtless. soon have to be reckoned with. Cofncident with the inquiries from America. there is a growing demand from Germany and the Scan dmavian count ries for Nembunber- land, Durham, Yorkshire and Scot tish coal
 These are markets in which South Wales eompetes only to an insignifi- cara extent. but the more the north- ean coal fields export to the eontia- ent of Europe. the loss they will have for shipment to America and the more acute will become the de mands from the United States for Welsh coal. This gives rise to the question as to what the Welsh coal fields can sell to America under ex- isttng conditions.
 The margin for 9ha coal-exportipg districts is abolN GS0, 600 tons a week. No arbitrary limit can be placed to the quantity which it is possible for the eollieries to produce in a seveu- hour day. but the circumstances un- der which trade has been carried on during the past l2 months go to show that 1t is not possible to inn prove to any appreciative extent on that quality.

MANY GARDEN PLANTS
ARE S0WN TOO THICK
To Produce Best Vegetables
Thinning Out Is Necessary.
Many Gardeners Use More Seeds Than
Needed Under Expectation Of So
curing Fuller Sandstone
Must Be Pulled.


prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.b
Thin your garden crops to an wen
stand If you want to produce good
vegetables.
Gardeners usually SOW more seeds
than are necessary, under the expec-
tation Of getting a fuller stand, or at
least of having enough. This results
in no particular harm except the waste
of seeds, provided the plants are
thinned before they begin to crowd
each other.
p as very seldom need any thinning,
as they will thrive when planted quite
close together. Beans planted five
seeds to the hill and the hills II inches
apart will not need to be thinned, bu.
If six or seven seeds have been
dropped ii will be desirable to thin
them, leaving only four or five in the
hill. Corn should always be thinned
TO three or four stalks in the hill, the
weaker stalks being pulled out, leav-
ing only the best. Radishes, unless too
thick, a be allowed to stand. thin
ming being accomplished by pulling up
plants for table use as they reach edi-
BILE size.
Lettuce is generally sown entirely
too thickly and, to thin the bed. the
small or medium-sized plants can be
pulled out and used. Some of the
plants may be lifted and transplanted,
spacing them three or four inches in
each direction, so that they will devel-
op into distinct heads for use later.
Beets are usually planted entirely too
thickly, partly due to the fact that
each seed ball contains two or three
seeds and, as Il rule, every one of these
seeds grow. They should be thinned
to stand not closer than two inches
apart in the row.. Still later every
other beet should be pulled out. This
last thinning, however car be post
poned until the beets are large enough
to use.
Carrots and parsnips are generally
sown too thickly and must be thinned.
The thinning should be done just MS
soon as the plants are large enough
W pun Oul, anu as ihSy uiS lhiHbNu a
little loose soil should be worked In
around the plants that are left. Two
or two and one-half inches is about the
right distance to leave the carrots, and
three to five inches for parsnips.
The gardener may be reluctant to
pull out nice, thrifty plants, but he
should remember that If all are al
lowed to remain few, If any, will ma
ture satisfactorily.
