The lutcst victims of the Turkish religio-political hatred are the Christians of Syriu, who are re ported as .starving while Turkey makes no response to offers of Amer ican relief. Asiatic Turkey, hemmed in by the Russians on the east, the British on the west, the Arabian deserts on the south, the Black sea on the north, may be described as being in about the same state of siege as is Ger many. But unlike Germany she has neither the resources nor the organ ization to feed her inhabitants. The result is that the Turkish military au thorities are seizing the entire visible supply of food, for the benefit of the army and of loyal Moslems in other walks of life, while the Christians business la6t year.

(By mail) An I ju Earl isn't a bad sort, of scout at all. Joseph Eichwald, a San Francisco to- I bucco salesman, called the Earl, of I.ipierick "Earl," invited him to"have!fc . a little something" and got away j.

Thousands of square miles of eanh were thick with it, and yet it seemed to he absolutely no good. In South Africa someone got the idea, several years ago, that stock would feed on the prickly pear and cactus was imported in quantity. A severe disappointment awaited the ' cattlemen. The prickly pear flour ished in such abundance and with Budh rapidity as to put to shamo the proverbial green bay tree; but as food for stock it was about as good as dog biscuit for humans. The plant be came a nuisance. It overran the ranges, and the problem soon became one ot extermination ( f the imported pest.

Meanwhile in another place where ino supply of wood pulp was low, someone decided to try cactus fiber in the manufacture of paper. He claims that his product was of very satisfactory quality. Now the South African government as decided to look at the prickly pear as a very in teresting plant. If it can indeed be turned to such valuable service, the prickly pear may save the day for a great many things, now cntegoried by man as unmitigated pests. STARVATION IN SYRIA. It never has paid to be a Christian in Turkey, or the domains ruled by limited range from Capetown to the moist equator. South Africa is taking advantage of its opportunities. Word comes that a new hotel has been erected at Vic toria Falls, the most marvelous cat aract in the world, where the Zambesi river, a mile wide, pours its waters over a ledge 400 feet high into a nar row gorge, where its shatered spray forms a dense mist which won for tho fall its native African name signify ing "thundering smoke." It is only 60 years since Livingstone discovered this wonder of the world; yet today thero are dining and sleeping cars on the railroad which brings tourists thither.

Then the Earl took the bones and the quartet shot an imaginative game in this method, with 50,000 pounds at stake on each turn, Eich wald scarcely downing an impulse to slap him on the back and call him "Limmy." No, indeed; an Earl isn't a bad sort at nil. The Earl of Limer ick is a little round man, with a port ly exposed pate, a sorrel, close cropped beard and mustache and an inborn aversion to the poetical metre bearing the name of his line. Lim ericks, he said, were not invented by him, though wherever he visits he is called upon to tax his ingenuity to de vise jingles about people whose names simply are not rhyme-able.

DIXON) The present habit of turninir niirht into uay in our highly illuminated towns with nil sorts of exciting en tertainments keeps the nerves keyed hijrh and upsets the equilibrium. Chil dren especially are apt to suffer from late hours. For the first two years of life, eating and sleeping are the two great essentials. Babies should sleep from 15 to 20 hours out of the 24 and other children from 10 to 14 hours. It is not an unusual thins to see babies in arms or very young children being carried about until their par ents bed time. This is injurious to the children and cannot be made up by additional rest the next day. Permitting children to remain un late is a strain on their nervous sys- -em wnicn, wnue it ninv not be im mediately apparent, is bound to exert a detrimental influence in the lnnc run. Oftentimes the ill effects are perfectly apparent to the intelligent observer. Irritableness r.nd any of the train of t-vils which result from nn nvitr. taxed nervous system mnv result frmn continually robbing the child of sleep. A regular bed time should be sot for children according to their age. ranging from 6 o'clock for babies to h o clock for children of eight or nine and this should be regularly ad hered to. This is a matter of the ut most importance in establishing a sturdy constitution in childhood. With adults, irregularity r.nd short hours of sleep are often a f.iptnr which pre-diaposcs to ill health. Oc casionally one will find nn individual who has an unusual capacity for work with less than the ordinary amount of rest, but for the ordinary man or woMnn this would end disastrously 4-4- 4- Ahoy!

The po lice have arrested two more suspects in connection with Saturday's bomb outrage. One gave the name of John j Federer and the other's name is tem porarily withheld.
