Germans attacked east of Lida and Vilna. Allies made great advances on west front, taking Souchez and Loos. September 27, 1915. Russians repulsed Hinden burg's armies. British pushed offensive east of Loos. French reached German sec ond line in Champagne. American ship Vincent sunk by mine in White sea; four lost. Austria recalled Ambassador Dumba. September 28, 1915. British in Loos region reached German third line. Turks defeated by British at Kut-el-Amara on the Tigris. Terms of Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000 in United States settled. Linsingen recaptured Lutsk and recrossed the Styr. German drive on Lutsk re sumed. Austrians in Galicia were driv en back. Great Britain warned Bulga ria against aggression. September 29, 1915. Anglo-French troops landed at Saloniki, Greece, for service in Serbia. Austro-Germans advanced on Serbia in force. French fought German second line at Butte de Tahure and Na va rin farm. Austrian attacks in Tolmino » zone repulsed. Italian attacks near Dolje failed. Turks on Tigris retreated toward Bagdad. September 30, 1915. Russians drove back Germans in Dvinsk region.

Allies protested German offi cers' presence at Sofia. Official reports that more than 50 German submarines had been sunk by new British device. CONDENSATIONS The Society islands, far away in the South sea, now have wireless com munication with the outer world, a radio station having been opened by the French government on the Island of Tahiti last winter. Communication with the United States will be via Samoa and New Zealand and thence by cable to San Francisco. It is ex pected that the edit of messages to the United States will exceed one dol lar a word. Later on it is hoped to reduce this more than half by send ing the messages over an all-wireless route. The tautara. or tuatera, is an almost extinct lizardlike reptile (Sphenoden punctatum), now found only on cer tain rocky islets in the bay of Plenty, northern New Zealand. It is of great scientific Interest for the reason that it is the only surviving representative of the order of prosauria, or primitive reptiles, and is therefore a sort of “liv ing fossil.” It was formerly hnnted for food, but is now protected by law in New Zealand. Governor de Graeff of the colony of the old Dutch republic at St. Eusta tius, W. L, was the first official of a foreign nation to salute the American flag. This event* occurred on Novem ber 16, 1776, when a Yankee ship en tered the harbor of St Eustatius. In the British army a battalion of 1,016 men requires for its daily ra tions 635 two-pound loaves, 127 pounds of bacon, more than 31 pounds of salt and nearly 13 pounds of pepper, to mention only a few of the items. To lessen the humming of telephone wires fastened to buildings a new German system incloses them in ce ment cylinders that are softer on the inside than the outside. British Columbia leads all other provinces in the Dominion of Canada in the value of its fisheries products, the aggregate for 1915 being approxi mately $15,000,000. The Spanish government is planning to build an electric railroad from Madrid to the French frontier to con nect with French lines. The word “and” occurs 46,527 times In Holy Scriptures. 10,984 times in the Old Testament and 35,543 times in the New Testament There is very little rain In Persia. Except along the coast of the Caspian sea agriculture depends almost entire ly on irrigation. Cotton is becoming so scarce in Eu rope that cellulose from wood fiber Is being used as a substitute in surgical dressings. RECOGNIZE VALUE OF FIGS Mothers of Young Children Make Them Part of the Daily Menu—Some Methods of Preparation. Figs are becoming a national deli cacy. Little need be said of their medicinal value, save that as a laxa tive they are particularly good for children and are advisable to use as part of the daily diet. Preserved skinless figs are delicious and may be bought in jars or cans. Many like them for breakfast with hot buttered rolls or with the natural sirup drained off and cream substituted. Have you ever tried fig pudding? One-half pound figs, two pints milk, three heaping tablespoonfuls corn starch, two heaping tablespoonfuls sugar, three eggs, one-half teaspoon ful lemon extract. Wash the figs, cut them In small pieces, then put them into a buttered casserole dish. Put the cornstarch into a saucepan and moisten it with half a cupful of the milk. Bring the rest of the milk to the boiling point, pour it over the cornstarch and stir till it bolls ten minutes. Add the sugar, lemon extract and the eggs, well beaten. Pour over the figs and hake In a moderate oven for half an hour. Serve with cream or milk. KEEP CISTERN WATER PURE Filter That May Be Easily and Cheaply Constructed Will Answer for the Purpose. The water in the cistern may be rendered clean and free from impuri ties at a very small cost by putting in a filter made as follows: Sink a joint of common tiling Into the ground near the wall of the house, vsmrnmmm**'/ ' ' A Filter for $1.00. A, Spouting; B, Tiling; C, Charcoal; D, Cement Foundation; E, Pipe, Leading From Filter to Cistern; F, Cistern. Fill tbe tiling within a couple of inches of the top with charcoal, place a lid on it to prevent the mice, rats, bugs and dirt, and all other foreign substances from entering the cistern by that route. If a piece of heavy wire screen is placed over the charcoal, so much the ! better. Have the filter rest on a foundation ; of clean stones or cement from three to four inches deep, into which a two inch pipe should be arranged for car I rying the water to the cistern. A piece of heavy screening should he placed over that end of the pipe protruding into the filter, and another piece of fine screen wire should be fas tened across the opening into the cis tern; both of which are for the pur pose of ullowing nothing of any size to get into the water supply. Chocolate Cake. Put one cupful sugar, one-quarter cupful butter and three tablespoonfuls cocoa in mixing howl. Set on back of range until slightly warm, then mix well and add one whole egg and yolk of another well beaten, one-half cupful milk and sift in with one cupful of ! flour (no more), three-quarter tea spoonful cream turtar, oue-half tea spoonful soda, one teaspoonful vanilla. Bake in shallow pan. Batter may seem too thin but will be all right. Frosting—One cupful granulated su gar, three tablespoonfuls boiling wa ter. Boil until It spins a thread, then turn Into stiffly beaten white of egg, add one-half teaspoonful vanilla and beat until thick enough to spread. Mock Chicken Loaf. Two pounds uncooked veal, put through meat grinder, one-quarter pound salt pork iu like manner, one beateu egg, three-quarters cupful pow dered crackers, one-half teaspoonful salt, pepper and sage to taste. Put In pan such as you use for loaf cake. Bake one hour. It’s nice, just before placing In oven, to beat one egg until j light. Pour over, then sprinkle cracker i crumbs. Orange Snow. Slice the oranges and remove the seeds and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Then for six oranges stir in a pint of whipped cream, or as much as the cream will hold without becoming soft. Keep the cream on ice before using, that it may be nice and stiff. | Make a meringue of the whites of four eggs and half a capful of powdered sugar, and top the mixture with this, return to the ice and serve very cold. Tomato Savory. Take one-half pound of tomatoes, skin them, cut them In slices, put ono ounce of butter into a saucepan, add the tomatoes, pepper and salt, and cook them slowly about ten minutes, then add the yolks of two fresh eggs. Stir till the mixture is quite a thick paste and serve it on little croutes of fried bread. To Keep 8uet. Take out any skin there may be, and then put the suet in a &ucepan and place on a warm but not hot Are and let it melt gradually. When quite melt ed pour it into a pan of cold water. When quite hard wipe it dry, wrap it in white paper, and when wanted for use it may be rubbed on a grater. Oyster Cocktail. For a first course at supper an oyster cocktail served in grapefruit is an in novation. The fruit is prepared as usual, though not sweetened, and sev eral small oysters with tabasco and horse-radish dressing, are placed In the hollow left by the removal ot the seeds and central pulp. DTOY'S EVENING UFA1W TALE V W MAT?f GRAHAM BONNER PRINCESS JOY’S PARTY. “The Fairies,” said Daddy, “had a Party at Twilight the other even ig. It was just a short time after Mr. Sun had gone to bed, and it was given in honor of the Princess Twilight Bell. She loved that time of the day better than any other, you see. and her name was very well chosen for her by the other Fairies, for her Voice was like a lovely, Silvery Bell. “ ‘It is so nice to have a Party given for me,’ she laughed in her clear bell like Voice, as she arrived at the Party In a wonderful Rohe of flowing Lav ender Silk trimmed with Silver. “ ‘We love to give a Party for you,’ said the Princess Fairy Joy. Now, Fairy Joy was really giving the Party and I must tell you about her name, too. She was one of the happiest, merriest, jolliest Fairies, and they had all decided long ago that they must always call her Princess Joy—just as Princess Began to Dance. they thought the only name to fit the little Fairy with the lovely Voice who liked the shadows of the evening was I'rincess Twilight Bell. “And then from far and near came the other Fairies. They all wore wonderful robes of Lavender and Sil ver and looked just like the Shadows in the early evening. “ ‘Now, Fairies,’ said Princess Joy. ‘we are going to open our Party by a Dance. The Shadows are coming to dance with Princess Twilight Bell— and after we have watched her—for she always will dance for us—we will all Dance with the Shadows.’ “Princess Twilight Bell began to dance and through the Trees came the Shadows dancing all about her. Alt. such a glorious Dance as they had— and later on alt the Fairies danced with the Shadows. “ 'We must be off,’ said the Shad ows. ‘Twilight is over—the Shadows must go—and the night must come.’ “ ‘We can't bear to see you go.’ said FTlncess Joy. ‘But you'll come again soon, won’t you?’ "And the Shadows danced away sc happily that the Princess Joy knew they’d come again. Then what should appear but the Fireflies. “Along they came sparkling ant Dancing. They jumped on the shoul ders of the Fairies, and ran Baces ant' jumped about on their Silver Wings. “Such a merry time as they were having when soon they heard a Whis per behind the Pine Trees. “ ‘Whut can that be?’ they all asked. “ ‘Fla. ha, ha,’ came the Whisper. ‘Do you think you have enough Light for this party? Do you think the Fire flies will do?’ “Still no one could see from where came the Whisper—hut the Fireflies were so afraid the Fairies would not think they were giving IJght enough that they sparkled and danced for all they were worth. Oh, it,was so bright in Fairyland that night! “Now. peeping through the Pine Trees, came old Mr. Moon. ‘You thought I was angry, eh?’ he laughed. ‘You didn’t think F liked to see the Fireflies. You thought, perhaps. I was jealous and hard to please?’ Still he grinned, though he was waiting anx iously for the Fairies to talk to him. “ ‘Dear, dear me,’ said Princess Joy. ‘We are delighted to have you and think it’s a great honor. Won’t you sit down and watch the fun?’ “‘Well, well, well, that’s a pretty good joke! To ask an old fellow like me if he won’t sit down! But as to watching the fun. Yes, Pll do that with pleasure. But I couldn’t sit down. It’s not the Moon’s place to sit Now, is it?’ “And all the Fairies shook their heads. ‘We love our little Guests, the Fireflies,’ said I’rincess Joy, and the Fireflies sparkled their thanks. ‘But we’re ever so glad you came, Mr. Moon,’ she added. “ ‘You don’t think I was angry, do you?’ asked Mr. Moon. *For I was only joking. I do love to have a joke, you know. And as far as that’s con cerned, you’re pretty fond of a joke yourself when you ask me to “sit down.” ’ “Everyone was feeling very Jolly and happy, and soon what should ap pear all over the sky but hundreds of little Stars. “ ‘We were going to sleep.’ the Stars said, ‘but when the Fairies have a Party like this we have to come, too.’ “And then the Princess Twilight Bell sang a song of Joy over her Party, and the Princess Joy sang with her in the chorus.” Master It. There are some girls who look sweet, and are pleasant and attractive and all that, but if they hear another girl praised their faces fall in a minute. That unlovely envy which makes you uncomfortable over the praise which goes to another, is a weakness to be mastered. Followed Mother's Orders. Mamma—But didn’t your conscience tell you that you were doing wrong? Little Betty—Yes, mamma. But you told me I shouldn't believe all I heard. Paradoxical. “That fellow has a screw loose.” “He doesn't mend matters by get ting tight.” Edwin Woodring, hermit of Allen town, Pa., predicts speedy downfall of Turkey. There's nothing a manly man ad mires more than a girlish girl or a womanly woman. Instead of running away from your work try to find a more efficient way ot doing it. That is the secret of suc cess. —MMa—i ii ii i —^^—e—t Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens tJ pores of the skin and allays fever. Genuine Castoria always bears tke signature “Bribery." In his early days at the bar Sir Ed ward Carson was so hard up that he had to accept briefs marked as low as half a guinea. On one occasion he was briefed to defend a certain Mick O'Dwyer in the Dublin courts at this meager figure. On the morning of the case, as Sir Edward was entering the court, a man stopped him. “Look here, counsel, “ye’re a bit of a case for Mr. Mick O’Dwyer, haven't ye?” he said. “I have—what about it?” demanded “counsel.” “Well,” replied the man, with the air of a financier, “it’s mesilf that’s O’Dwyer, an’ I’ll tell ye what—if ye win the case TO give ye five shillings ! for yourself:” FIERY RED PIMPLES Soothed and Healed by Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Trial Free. Smear the affected skin with Cuticura Ointment on end of Anger. Let it re main Ave to ten minutes. Then wash off with plenty of Cuticura Soap and hot water. Dry without irritation. Nothing like Cuticura for all skin troubles from infancy to age. Free sample each by mail with Book. Address postcard, Cuticura, Dept. L, Boston. Sold everywhere.—Adv. Cheap Cooking Range. An electrical toy range has lately been invented which can be made of real utility in a small apartment. At a demonstration recently given a hearty meal for Ave persons was cooked at the expense of 12 cents’ worth of current. The little stove in cludes an oven and six small hot plates. The meal cooked included a five-pound roast, boiled potatoes, biscuits, maca roni, two small apple pies and apple sauce. Of course such results are only obtained at that cost by a skilled dem onstrator, but the tiny electric range lias great possibilities, for the adult housekeeper as well as for the small girl it was designed to amuse. OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS A medicinal preparation like Dr, Kil mer’* Swamp-Root, that has real curative value almost sells itself. Like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is a physi cian’s prescriptien. It has been tested for years and has brought results to count less numbers who have suffered. The success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact that it fufills almost ev ery wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder diseases, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. Do not suffer. Get a bottle of Swamp Root from any druggist now. Start treat ment today. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. W hen writing be sure and mention this paper.—Adv. His Meal Ticket. “I met Mr. Blinks at the Van Gelts’ dinner last night. Isn't he a most fas cinating man?” “He has to’be. If Blinks didn’t get Invited out to dinner three or four times a week he’d starve to death.” The Army of Constipation b Growing Smaller Every Day.

Iron ts Greatest of Au Strength Builders; Says Doctor A Secret of the Great Endurance and Power of Athletee Ordinary Nuxated Iron Will Make Del icate, Nervous, Rundown People 200 Per Cent. Stronger in Two Weeks’ Time in Many Cases. NEW YORK, N. Y.—Most people foolishly seem to think they are going to get renewed health and strength from some stimulating medicine, se cret nostrum or narcotic drug, said Dr. Sauer, a well-known Specialist jvho has studied widely both in this coun try and Europe, when, as a matter of fact, real and true strength can only come from the food you eat. But peo ple often fall to get the strength out of their food because they haven’t enough iron in their blood to enable it to change food into living matter. From their weakened, nervous condi tion they know something is wrong but they can't tell what, so they gener ally commence doctoring for stomach, liver or kidney trouble or symptoms of some other ailment caused by the lack of iron in the blood. This thing may go on for years, while the patient suffers untold agony. If you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nuxated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see for yourself how much you have gained. I have see}} dozens of nervous, run-down peo ple who were ailing all the while, double their strength and endurance and entirely get rid of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles In from tea to fourteen days’ time simply by taking Iron in the proper form. And this after they had in some cases been doctoring for months without obtaining any benefit. But don’t take the old forms of reduced iron, iron acetate or tincture of iron simply to save a few cents. You must take iron in a form that can be easi ly absorbed and assimilated like nux ated iron if you want it to do you any good, otherwise it may prove worse than useless. Many an athlete or prize-fighter has won the day simply because he knew the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went Into the affray, while many another has gone down to inglorious defeat simply for the lack of Iron. NOTE—Nuxated Iron recommended above by Dr. Sauer is not a patent medi cine nor secret remedy, but one which is well known to druggists and whose Iron constituents is widely prescribed by emi nent physicians everywhere. Unlike the older inorganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach: on the contrary, it is a most potent reme dy. in nearly all forms of indigestion, as well as for nervous, run-down conditions. The manufacturers have such great con fidence in Nuxated Iron that they oft*r to forfeit 1100.00 to any charitable insti tution If they cannot take any man or woman under 60 who lacks iron and in crease their strength 200 per cent, or over In four weeks’ time provided they have no serious organic trouble. They also offer to refund your money if it does not at least double your strength and endurance in ten days’ timeO It is dis pensed by most druggists. If your drug gist or general store is without a supply, ask them to get tt for you.-Adv.
