ARMENIAN GIRL
PLEADS FOR SISTERS
Tragic Tale of Harem Victims'
Sufferings.
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

ican missionaries, was herself snared

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

say for the
wonderful
work being
done by the
more tlitin SOU

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

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

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.

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.

had to fight for breath, and my
heart palpitated so terribly I was
afraid to climb a ladder for fear I
would full. A year ago I had an at
tack of 'flu' which loft me in a much
worse condition than ever.
"My nerves were shntteied and I
could not sleep at night. I had no
energy 'and just t'olt tired ail the
.time. Then rheumatism 'iffectctl my
arms so that it was agony to use a
hammer and snw, and my legs and

ttnnd for long at a time.
"My first bottle of Tnnlnc did me a
world of good, nnd in r. short time I
could eat anything 1 wanted and nev

dgns of tho rheumatism have left me
and I can use my arms and legs with
out having a twinge of pain. I have
gained considerable in weight, my
nerves are steady and I sleep like a
log at night. I am now energetic
mil strong and my work is a pleas
ure instead of a drudgery."

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.
