More than ten thousand Armenian girls have been rescued from Turkish horeius through the help and gener osity of America. This Is the state ment given out by tho Near Knot Re lief, which Is making tho saving of these tragic victims of Turkish cruelty one of tho most Important features of Its work. That It Is n work which In Itself Justifies tho millions that America has spent In this stricken land Is testlllcd to by llttlo Miss Kllza Dodurlan, n twenty-yenr-old Armenian girl recent ly arrhed In this country. Miss Dodu rlan, through the. Intervention of Amer ican missionaries, was herself snared , !&, ELIZA DODURIAN. the sufferings of exile and tho horrors of slfivry; butie knows all too well the. terrible fate of her sisters and friends. It 1b for them the soft-eyed llttlo Klrls of fifteen and sixteen whom last she unw being torn from their mothers' arms and cnrrled off on the suddlo bows of the Turkish soldiers tliut she makes her plea. What their lives have been since then may bo guessed by u look Into the fnces of any of tho ten thousand who Iirvo passed through tho Rescue Homes of tho Near Kast Relief. Their heads bowed In shame, they creep Into tho Ainerlcan relief stations, trying vainly to hide the tattoo marks which pro claim to the world tholr story. 'Thousands of these girls have been brought back to life anil hope through tho work of (he Near Kast Relief. It Is to rescue the one hundred thousand more still held captive that the Near Kast Relief Is making Its appeal this yijar.

HAVE XOU A LITTLE OKPUAN IN YOUR EAIm .. ..... - ..,.,,y. 'WA. -wt, W&wfjUfcWttJU w t 5eJ High Commissioner Praises Near East Relief Constantino ple ; Everybody seems to have a good word to say for the wonderful work being done by the more tlitin SOU American men a u d women workers of the Near East Re lief. In a pub lic address, Rear Admiral Rear Adm'l Bristol Mark L. Rrlstol, U. S. Navy, High Commissioner to Turkey, who has charge of all American Interests In tho Near Kust, went on record whole-heartedly In support of the American relief organization. "If I have been able to encour age tho workers of tho Near Kust Relief or give them assistance In uny way," tho Admiral said, "I feel that I am more than repaid In keeping with tho success that has attended the efforts of the Near Kust Relief Committee In this purl of the world In lliu past. I hopo the futuio will bring you greater success, It will always give me pleasuro to render any assistance possible to the Confmlttee as a whole, to any of tho workers, and to the great work of humanity that the cominltreo represents." When 1H0.00U Russian refugees from tho Crimea arrived off Con stantinople, Admiral Rrlstol Imme diately cabled tho Near Kast Re lief for help, mill the Near Kast Relief bakeries fed theso refugees and N. E. R, workers helped the American sailors to get the sick to hospitals. Admiral Rrlstol Is In Intimate touch with ull the work being con ducted by the Near Kast Relief and speaks from personal knowl edge of Its accomplishments. INVESTIGATOR, INDORSES NEAR EAST RELIEF During the Peace Conference In Par Is the American Commission to Nego tiate Peace, appreciating Iho Impor tance of accurate, tlrst hand Informa tion about the Armenian situation, sent Capt. Henjamln Hurges Moore of the American Red Cross as head of a spe cial mission to study and report on conditions. Captain Moore's findings as to the value of the work done by the Near Kast Relief form part of his otll clnl report. "Armenians are sincerely grateful to us," Captain Moore states, "since it Is no exaggeration to say that they would have disappeared as a nation had It not been for this splendid help given them by the Nenr Kast Relief and he American Food Administration. The best that sympathetic Americans can do 1h to continue nnd enlarge the pres ent .admirable woik of tho Neur Kast Relief." ?F "WWpWit M rWtSrTLLA mu jHflBKi INDIA'S MILLIONS OF "GODS" Country Is Certainly Deoervlng of It Appellation, "The Mother of Religions." St. Simeon Stjllles, the noted Syrlnn ascetic, Is the ilrst of whom we nine record of the many thousands of roll glous enthusiasts who have believed In punishing the body that the soul may be lulsed nearer heaven. St. Simeon. It Is recorded, passed the Inst HO years of his life sitting for the most part of the time upon a high stone pillar, set up In the ground, near Antl- J im'Ii, "enduring the scorching heat by day and the biting frost by night that he might thus overcome evil pnsslons and be better lilted for heaven." Enthusiastic followers today of the tenets of St. Simeon are (lie Sadbus of India, says (lilt. While the prac tice of doing penance to earn merit Is prevalent In other countries, there Is no laud where It Is so universal, or where It Is cnrrled to such n de gree of physical suffering as In India. Every form of torture than can be applied to the human frame Is wit nessed In the hind of the Sadhus. India, that "land of mysticism and romance," has so great a variety of religious faiths as to have received the name "The Mother of Religions." The Hindus have more than IIO.OOO.OOO gods, and their worshipers wear up on their foreheads distinctive "god marks" to show which god they fol low. Out of these religious beliefs have come the various castes, the bane of India today, the giant hand I hut stays the v. heels of progress. DIFFICULT TO HANDLE FORKS When First Introduced, Diners Could See Little of Benefit in the Innovation. It Is hard to believe the sensation produced when forks first came Into use. It was in 1574, at a dinner given by Henry III of France. Here In an account by a royal lady guest. "The guests never touched the ment with their lingers, but with' forks, which they curried to their mouths, bending their necks and bodies over their plates. "There were several salads. Then they ate With forks, for It Is not con sidered proper to touch the food with the lingers. However dlillcult It may be to manage it, It Is thought better to put tlit) little forked Instrument In the mouth than the fingers. "The artichokes, asparagus, peas and beans were brought. It wus a pleasure to watch them try to ent thesw with their forks, for some, who were less adroit than the others, dropped as many on their plates and on the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouth. "Afterward a great silver basin and u pitcher of water were brought nnd the guests washed their hands, though It seems as If there would not be much scent of meat and gieawe on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked Instruments." Ladles' Home .lournal. Tricking Fate, livery Hindoo must have u son to perform the proper rites In his behalf, so that he may be released from pur gatory after death. Especially cursed, therefore, Is he whose fate Is to be sonless. One such, a Ilrahmnn, pro pitiated the god Vishnu and obtained a boon. He asked for a son, but, since a son was not In the man's fate, Vishnu refused. Twice this happened, but the third time the Rrahmau asked that his merriments might be shared by gods and men alike. This was granted. He then went home, locket! his door nnd, with his wife, began to sing and dance. Thereupon, all the gods antl men, by the terms of the boon, were compelled to sing and dunce with him, and the business of the universe was brought to a stand still. "Stop 1" begged the goiK "Only when you grant me a Ron," answered tin ISruhmiin. Antl he had his way. W, N. Ilrown In Asia Magazine. Where Ice Makes Crops, We are accustomed to think of Alaska as a moist part of the world, but except In the southern portion It Is rather arid, having a rainfall In sulllclent for the production of crops. When an area Is first cleared for planting the soil Is moist enough, be ing frozen nearly to the surface the year around. Then the Ice In the ground gradually melts, so .that tho Ilrst few imps require only a slight rainfall the melting of the Ice furn ishing sulllclent moisture to the roots of the growing plants. In fhe collide of u few years, how ever, the Ice recedes to a depth of six or more feet, nnd this reservoir of moisture Is no longer available for the crops. It then becomes necessary to resort to various expedients, such us "mulching," for hindering evuporatlon ami economizing the available water. Tangled Tongues.

RED CROSS JOINS NEBRASKA TOWNS Rural Districts Taught Whole some Entertainments Through Community Work. Counties In Nebraska show how the spirit and breadth of the peace pro gram of the American Red Cross Is touching the countryside American and helping solve the problem of rural life. One of the llrst steps of community life In this country has been along the lines of community organization, whereby disinterested, disorganized townships have been organized to meet on a common ground and work to gether with a Joint purpose. The iiwnkenlng of the community spirit bus been brought about largely by means of frequent community meet ings in different towns. Urlnglng peo ple together In this way has resulted' In n realization of their common needs end the. desire to workout their mu tual problems together.'" The better understanding which lins grown out of these community gather ings has effected the establishment of social centers In vailous towns, where by soclnl Interests nnd Its benefits are afforded the people dining the long winter evenings. These community studies have been formed by many of the smaller chap ters and blanches. The chapters cr.rry their work to all surrounding commu nities. The citizens throughout the counties take a thorough Interest In '.ie work nnd assist In the organlzu Ion whenever possible. LKUAL notices T First Pub. Jan. G. l'J21 Iw, Probnte Notice to Creditors !
