the Turk often promised to heed, and
heeded not. The lutcst victims of the
Turkish religio-political hatred are
the Christians of Syriu, who are re

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

supply of food, for the benefit of the
army and of loyal Moslems in other
walks of life, while the Christians

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

South Africa is taking advantage of

river, a mile wide, pours its waters
over a ledge 400 feet high into a nar

forms a dense mist which won for tho

(BY DR. 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.

age. ranging from 6 o'clock for babies
to h o clock for children of eight or

most importance in establishing a
sturdy constitution in childhood.
