The latest book of Von der Goltz upon warfare gives recipes for exâ€" tracting the last agonies of effort from exhausted troops; yet this preâ€" ceptor of the Turks is reckoned a humanist among _ his _ colleagues. Dreadful as are the measures to which the Germans have had recourse against their foes, their callous atâ€" titude toward their own allies is not less censurable. It is not surprising that the Turks, their dullest eyes open and their slowest wits at work, at last begin to rue the compact that they made, and actually to fear their own fate should Germany conquer by their aid. FIVE PERSONS KILLED BURING MOSCOW RIOT *A despatch from Petrograd says: A proclamation issued by the prefect of Moscow exhorts the inhabitants of that city to avoid a repetition of the regrettable incidents of the last two days, when five persons were killed and a number slightly wounded as a result of unwarranted interference with the police. The prefect also requests the peoâ€" ple not to gather in crowds, saying that ruffians await opportunities to begin disorders wherever people asâ€" semble, however casually. The procâ€" lamation has had the desired effect. It is universally admitted that the disorders began without the police in any wise being to blame, and also that there was no political design conâ€" nected with them. Kitchener is on the side of the truth when he says that the Turk has been a fairer, cleaner fighter than his German master. Left to themselves, petrolized of the insectivorous Gerâ€" man lieutenancy, the Turks would not have stooped to the abysmal levâ€" els to which the Germans have deâ€" graded "military science." The averâ€" age Turk (not the upstart Salonica Ottoman, whose whole Wword swings between dissipation and â€" sedition) would rather have peace than war, and prefers to let what he considers well enough alone. He dreams upon a page of the Koran, inhales his narâ€" ghile and is as backward in civilizaâ€" tion as in his chirography. Suddert ly the German comes to him and tells him that to save the holy of holies of Islam he must commit the most abomâ€" inable iniquities. The German berates and castigates, with an incontinent fury, the laggard who does not keep pace with the tutelage. ‘ FRENCH HERO FAINTS IN RECEIVING MEDAL A despatch from Paris says: The ceremony of decorating a large numâ€" ber of officers and soldiers assembled at the Hotel Des Invalides was markâ€" ed by several incidents. Second Lieuâ€" tenant Praquins, who had been badly wounded in the head, fainted in the arms of his nurses as General Cousin pinned the war cross on Praquins‘ breast. Another soldier whose leg had been amputated and who was carried by comrades received the military medal, the bestowal of the medal being greetâ€" ed with applause by. the numerous spectators. a Every year over five million beds and eight million meals are provided by the shelters and homes of the Salâ€" vation Army in Britain,. When the shrill voice of cock is heard, a changeâ€"of \ probable. Great Britain must bear the weight that has fallen from the Russian shoulders as a result of the retreat of the Russian forces. She must arm, manufacture, enlist, "fight as never before or face the chances of defeat." Thus frankly does the "Great Awakener" . speak and on this theory does he work. Whatever others may think about what Great Britain has already done in the present war, the little Welshâ€" man does not think she has done enough. He pays a tribute to France in the preface of a volume of his speeches just published . and says that that heroic nation cannot be exâ€" pected to bear much more of the burâ€" den. And what he thinks of the part Russia has played is sufficientâ€" ly set forth in the statement that "for over twelve months, despite deâ€" ficiencies in equipment, Russia has absorbed the energies of half of the German and fourâ€"fifths of the Ausâ€" trian forces." He doesn‘t mince things in the least. He lays no kealing unction to British selfâ€"complacency. He doesn‘t utter a syllable in support of the ancient doctrine that the British Emâ€" pire is bound somehow to muddle through. On the contrary, he holds bluntly up before the country the posâ€" sibility of a disastrous defeatâ€"of deâ€" struction of all that is dear to the British heart if the British patriotism does not rise to the occasion. NOTES AND cOMMENT S Lloyd George has fairly earned and richly deserves the title of the "Great Awakener." If Great Britain is roused to a realization of the fact that she must put forth every effort and even put aside a few traditions if she is to triumph in the present war, it will be due in no small measâ€" ure to the clarion calls of the miniâ€" ster of munitions. . the peaâ€" weather is Irish Stew.â€"Free two pounds neck of lean mutton or vea} from fat, divide into meat cubes of uniform size, about one inch long, and put on | to cook with enough water to cover. l Let stew until tender. About an hour i should be enough if meat was reasonâ€" ably tender to begin with. Have "ready in another pot two carrots, cut into small dice, and two fairâ€"sized onions, sliced thin.

DESPERATE EFFORTS OF ENEMY TO REGAIN LQOST POSTONS _ Powdered French challk sprinkled over .stale bread is an excellent cleanâ€" er for wall paper. A novelty sandwich consists in the fact that after the sandwich is made it is pressed closely together and then dipped in a thin batter made in the proportion to one beaten egg to a half cup of milk. If the filling of the sandwich is a savory mixture of egg, fish, cheese, meat or fowl, a pinch each of pepper and salt should be addâ€" ed to the batter. If, however, the sandwich has a sweet filling, the batâ€" ter should be slightly sweetened and flavored with a teaspoonful of sherry. Cook the moistened sandwich on a hot, wellâ€"greased griddle, browning first on one side and then on the other. A shallow iron frying pan will answer the same purpose, and olive oil will be found an excellent substitute for butter. Are Attacking Everywhere on Western Front, But & Without Suceess Paris, Oct. 5.â€"Everywhere on the western front the Germans are conâ€" tinuing their desperate efforts to reâ€" gain the positions they lost during the recent great allied attack.

Here is another of the reversions to former times that the war has disâ€" closed; to the days when he who comâ€" manded the bell commanded the town, when the conqueror melted down bells for amunition or the conquered saw his cannon cast into bells. Bells have had a great part in war, they have summoned soldiers to arms, and they have rung over triumph and defeat. The old bells of Chester Cathedral rang the victory of Trafalgar and the death of Nelson, "after every peal a single booming note of grief." Anâ€" other old English bell, cracked under the strain of Waterloo rejoicing, was recast and reâ€"inscribed, "I rang the downfall of Bonaparte and broke." Some of the famous French bells were melted down for gun metal in the revolution. Many of the bells of Belgium, renowned as a land of bells and where the finest products of the art in its prime, have already met the fate of the tocsin of St. Stephen.

London, ~Wednesday, Oct. 6.â€"An Athens despatch to the Havas Agency says: "Premier Venizelos has resignâ€" ed, the King having informed him that he was unable to support the policy of his Ministry." Breathing. The phenomena of life in man and the higher animals may be said to rest on a tripodâ€"the classical stool with three legs. That tripod consists of the heart, the lungs and the nervâ€" ous system. The physiological action of each depends on that of the others. Their functions are closely interwoven and cannot be separately considered in full detail without reference to that conjunction. The proper balance of these functions constitutes health; an unequal and not accurate poised adâ€" justment spells diseaseâ€"disâ€"easeâ€" absence of ease, and soâ€" of normal health. It Is An Influence Not Only for the Body But Also for the Soul. Earlier despatches from _ Athens told of the triumph of the Greek Preâ€" mier in the Chamber of Deputies. After an allâ€"night debate, in which the Opposition protested asainst the Premier‘s policy, which the;r declared was forcing Greece into an unnecesâ€" sary war, Venizelos succeeded in getâ€" ting the Chamber to pass a vote of confidence motion by a majority of 40. Toâ€"night the Greek situation is one of the most peculiar as well as the mose menacing that has arisen out of the war. The resignation of Venizelos will necessarilyâ€" mean the dissolution of the present Greek Cabinet and the formation of a new one. But the Ministry, which is appointive by the King, must be ratified by the Chamâ€" ber of Deputies, and the Greek Chamâ€" ber is radically in favor of Venizelos. The conception of home is rather vague toâ€"day. To many it is but a shelter for creature comforts. But the true home is more than mere walls bare or richly decorated. It is an inâ€" fluence, an atmosphere, a spirit, a breath of love, a vibration of tenderâ€" ness, As the situation is outlined by the political commentators, King Constanâ€" tine has absolutely rejected the. diâ€" plomacy of his Premier, whose party was returned to power last spring on The essential point towards preâ€" servation of that mens sana corpore sano, to which we should all seduâ€" lously aspire from the earliest days of intelligently appreciating the fact that we are alive, lies, therefore, in continued_ effort to maintain that equal balanceâ€"not to throw undue strain upon either of the legs of the tripodâ€"not to suffer one of the three to be unduly weakened by any cause. The act of respiration infuses oxyâ€" gen into the blood, and at the same time expels carbonic acidâ€"carbonic dioxide. If the air we habitually breathe contains an undue percentage of the latter and not enough of the former the Iungs soon become diseasâ€" ed. Hence, the value of fresh and pure air; hence the danger of crowdâ€" ed tenements in the slum, of illâ€"venâ€" tilated workâ€"rooms, and such like. a platform which openly advocated a normal, if not an active, support of These latter are the fruitful source of that plague of civilized countries, pulmonary consumption, which, howâ€" ever, is now fast dying out amongst us, at such a rate that its extinetion within thirty years is prophesiedâ€" an improvement due solely to sanitaâ€" tion and betterment of dwellings. "And they said unto him, Where is Sarah, thy wife? and he said, Beâ€" hold she is in the tent."â€"Gen. xviii., 9. a series of heart beats, an oasis in the wilderness, not only for the body but also for the soul. The true home should cater to the soul. It should be an intellectual and cultural centre. Emerson has said that a grammar and a piano ushered civilization into the hut of the Westâ€" ern pioneer. So a few books, an English anthology of poetry or prose, a Browning, perhaps; a Bible, or some GREEK PREMIER DRIVEN FROM OFFICE arliament Had a Few Hours Before Passed a Vote of Confidsncs in Venizelos To prevent this, with chronic bronâ€" [ The Conception of Home A Wave of Sympathy, HEALTH I Let men make the laws of the land, build its enterprises on land and sea, fill its armies and navies; those who make the home are the true arbiters of the world‘s destinies. & the Entente powers. Furthermore, the policy of the Premier which has brought forth the King‘s disavowal was based on the platform which reâ€" sulted in his resumption of office. It would appear from the news so far at hand that King Constantine, always a sympathizer of the German cause, has determined to stake everyâ€" thing on the support of that cause and to prevent Greece from aligning itself with the allies, even at the risk of losing his throne. A despatch from Washington says: Sir Cecilâ€"Springâ€"Rice, the British Amâ€" bassador, personally delivered to Actâ€" ing Secretary Polk at the State Deâ€" partment a safe conduct under which Dr. Constantin Dumba, the Austrian Ambassador, will return to Vienna. The department asked for the safe conduct some days ago when Dr. Dumba telegraphed from the Summer Embassy at Lenox, Mass., that he had been ordered home, and requested that arrangements for his safe pasâ€" sage be made. The home is the school for life. It is a microcosm. There are found all the evils of the world in their native, nascent. stateâ€"selfishness, pettiness, envy, greed, avarice. These must be overcome in the home or they will grow and rise up and conquer man in the world. a It is pointed out here that a break between the King and Venizelos is likely to throw the country into revoâ€" lution. The London commentators, making certain reservations, are inâ€" clined to believe that the Chamber of Deputies will stand by Venizelos, and will decline to support the King. At the last election there was an overâ€" whelming majority for the party of Venizelos, and only the scantiest vote for the party of the then Premier, M. Gounaris, who was in effect the canâ€" didate of the King. The Venizelos Government _ has attempted _ to estrange Greeks from Germany defiâ€" nitely and for all time by countenâ€" ancing the landing of an Entente force at Salonica and tacitly agreeing to the use of the Vadar railway for transportation of this force to Serbia. Any one who is at all predisposed towards consumption, whether by naâ€" tural configuration and chest narrowâ€" ness, or by a history of the disease in the family previously, will do well to adopt this practice as a habit from early years. It should be (and now I believe often is) taught to children in the schools. These latter will thus ward off not only tubercular mischief, but also, it may be, the operation for adenoids, which have in late years beâ€" come so fashionable, and are mostly unnecessary, even harmful.â€"A Physiâ€" cian. pure fiction, a picture or two, a Beeâ€" thoven or some scene from a favorite opera, a few flowers and some meâ€" mentos of friends or places create an environment that is restful and inâ€" spiring. The home is the citadel of humanâ€" ity from which to attack all the inimiâ€" cal forces of society. The home is The Bulwark of the State. Whatever is done to purify and strengthen its influence on the physiâ€" cal, intellectual and moral being of man is a service to the nation. The three messengers of God who partook of â€" Abraham‘s hospitality realized his great mission in the world and the potent influence thereâ€" on of his pure and inspiriting home. They sensed the secret of that domesâ€" tic love and peace and power. And therefore they asked, "Where is Sarah, thy wife?"

On the former I need not expatiate; for the latter aim there is no better method that the daily practice of deep breathing. Once or twice a day, preferably when you are out of doors, you take half a dozen very deep breaths with your mouth shut, holdâ€" ing the breath a little each time, and endeavoring to expand to the utterâ€" most your chest capacity.
