' MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY The Journal of the American Med ical association tells of a proprietary poultice advertised as composed mainly of "the finest anhydrous and levigated argillaceous mineral." Purchasers, much impressed with these fine .words, never guess that they mean simply "dry, powdered clay." ,A proprietor who charged $2.50 an ounce for salt and sugar dissolved In hydrant water, without telling the composition of his nostrum, might have, got away with it grandly and gloriously, the Journal suggests, by giving this truthful account: "My preparation Is composed of minimal quantities of a member of the disaccharld carbohydrates, de rived from the hezoses and capable of yielding two hexose molecules by hydrolysis, having as a general form ula C-12 H-22 O-ll, and. crystalliz ing In monocllnlo prisms, together with an Interesting chemical combi nation of natrium and chlorln which, in its natural state, forms an hydrous, cubical, or octahedral white crystals. These are dissolved In a colorless, limpid fluid compounded of hydrogen and oxygen." . Thus anyone may see how easy it is to Impress the public by making nse of the verbal, resources of the medical profession. Medicines, pa tent and otherwise, seem mysterious Because of the high-sounding names doctors give them. "Why not sweep away all that Jar gon, except for use in technical pub lications intended only for physi cians' eyes, and name medical ma terials In plain English? Nish. Serbia, Jan. 6. (Correspon dence of the Associated Press.) Three months of unremitting Indus try, unhampered by Bulgarian and Austrian depredations or Interfer ence, have enabled the Serbian peo ple to secure a new hold on lite. With the country entirely free of In vaders, the large peasant population has succeeded in setting things in order in surprising fashion, and con ditions should be almost normal soon. Large quantities of wheat and other staples, which the shrewd Ser bian farmers hid from the nemy, have reappeared. At the moment the most pressing needs seems to be clothing, shoes, fuel and agricultural Implements. Apparently there is plenty of money in the country, some of it having come from Austrian and Ger man soldiers, who, it may be said to their credit, uald for "most of the articles they took from the Serbians during their occupatfon. However, the Bulgarians, who requisitioned almost everything they required from the already straitened popula tion, often paid nothing for what they took. In the cities moat of the stored have no stocks because they sold almost everything to the Aub trlans and Germans.

Chihuahua City, Mex., Feb. 14. Francisco Villa's recent raid on Santa Eulalta. 16 tulles from hare and the center of a thickly settled mining district, was typical of his raiding methods. Dashing Into the mining town at dawn he shot the sentries of the little federal garri son, executed the capitaln in com mand, and made prisoners of the re maining 30 guards, nis men found Antonio Cabello asleep in his home, and took him before Villa In his night clothes. Because of a grudge of lanir. standing. Villa ordered hlra executed, but postponed the execu tlon until' he could round up all of the Americans In camp. Some of the American mining officials, hear Ing the shooting, fled to the hiUs and were fired upon by the villa men. The others. Including the of ficials of the American Smelting & Refining company, the Buena Tlerra company and other . mines, were brought before Villa who was cstau llshed in the offices of of the mining companies which had Been looted and the records and papers destroyed. The Americans were taken to a tramway support where they wcre forced to witness the hanging of Cabello. former mayor of Eanta Eu- lalla. As his body was swinging from the rope, Villa told the Auier-. leans be had not then derided wheth er or not he would hang them. He told them he would postpone his decision until later. Villa made a. speech to the Mexicans who gathered j to see the execution, told them the Americans were not paying enough waxes and ordered them to make a i demonstration , for higher wagds. Later he permitted the Americans to leave tor Chihuahua City , after he ordered' them to report to their companies that he would . return March 11th and, If heavy tributes were not paid, to his agents by that time -he would burn the plants and kill all the Americans.' fir xtt. i xai on WIRTHMOR WAISTS with a Nation-wide Friendliness Whenever any article, whatever Us nature might he attains nation-wide friendliness, it symbolises Just onu thing, namely, that through Its merit and satisfying qualities It deserves that friendliness. This Is the enso with Wlrthmor Waists. In Maine In California way up In Washington or down In Southern Florida In over two thousand cities they are being sold by progressive mer chants and being worn by prudent, thrifty women. The price. of the Wlrthmor here and everywhere throughout the United Statos is $1.50. This is the low. est possible price at which Waists of such high character can be sold, and their sale at this modest price Is due solely to gluuntlc collective buying power of the many hundreds of Wlrthmore Stores and the many great economics of the Wlrthmor Plan. , You will never know Imiw good a Waist f l.no ran buy until you have wont a Wlrthmor.
