Exeter Times, 1915-8-12, Page 7NOBLEWOMEN KEEP CHILDREN WELL DURING HOT WEATHER TAKE MIIN 1 SPIES— Every mother knows how fatal the hot summer months are to small chil- dren. Cholera 'infanturn, diarrhoea, dysentry and stomach troubles are rife at this time and often a precious little life is lost after only a few hours illness. The mother who keeps Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels safe. The occasional use of the Tab- lets prevents stomach and bowel trou- bles, or if troubles come suddenly— as it generally does—the Tablets will bring the baby safely through. They are, sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. THE 'PHONE IN WAR. COMMITTEE ORGANIZED BY LADY GLANUSK. Famous English Society Women As Trappers of German • Spies. Everybody has heard of the tre- mendous ramifications of the German military spy system, which has Brit- ain's army and navy under observa- tion, writes an American correspond- ent in London. Englishmen were too careless to shake off this spy danger, which penetrated into every branch of na- . tional life, but English women took up the matter, brought the most dan- tgerous spies to trial, put the others under ,armed guard, and in various other ways made the lives of spies and suspected spies a burden to them. They have proved that women are the only efficient "spy trappers." The leaders of the undertaking are women of title, for they alone would have the authority, means, and pres- tige to carry out a difficult and far- reaching work. The organizer and "chairman" of the committee that has been round- ing up the spies is Lady Glanusk, wife of a peer and officer, a woman of keen mind and very determined, yet tactful, personality. Other members are the Duchess of Wellington, who is president; the Duchess of Beaufort, the Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchioness of Sligo, Countess Bathurst, the Countess of Lanesborough, Viscountess Masser- eene and Ferrard, Viscountess Com- bermere, Viscountess Cobham, Lady Vincent, Lady Leith of Fyvie, Mrs. Harold Baring and others. Intuition Wins. Among them are some of the most notable beautiful women in English society and others who. are distinguished by their winning per- sonality. Perhaps the most striking beauty is the Viscountess Masse- reene and Ferrard, whose husband is the chief of a celebrated Irish family. Equally attractive in her way is the young Duchess of Sutherland. Womanly intuition and womanly guile exercised by these attractive "spy trappers," on many social occa- sions, have led many Germans to make admissions they would never have made to a man. Before the war thousands of Ger- mans were in positions of trust in • England, ranging from heads of banks down to such positions as but- lers in prominent, English families and head waiters in leading hotels. Many people believe that German butlers in the employ of British Cab- inet Ministers and British generals have been the most important agents for conveying military information to the enemy. Standing silent and dis- creet behind their employers and ttieir guests at the table, they listen- ed to many military secrets, and they also had other opportunities for gathering information. Catching a Butler: • One of the fair members of the committee dined one evening at the house of an English general with a small party of persons highly placed 44 -in military and official life. When the general joined the ladies in the drawing -room after dinner the fas- cinating "spy trapper" drew him aside and said: • "General, before I got I want you to arrest your -butler and search his belongings. He is a German spy," she said. "But Lady —," said the general, in amazement, "he has beenwith me for ten years. The man is an ex- cellent butler." "No doubt," said the lady, "but he is also an excellent spy. Never speak to me again if I am wrong." The .butler's room was searched 1 and many notes of an incriminating character were found. The lack of positive evidence that he had sent information to the German Govern- ment saved his life, but he was sent to prison with a host of other Ger- man spies. Seized Wireless. The "ladies' committee" has hunt- ed down all German head waiters em- ployed in the principal English hotels and restaurants and caused them to be removed to detention camps. These men, owing to the peculiar character of their work, enjoyed an excellent opportunity for meeting persons of all the important classes of society, and in the free expansion that ordin- arily takes place at the table all kinds of confidences were exchanged within their hearing. Many Germans of high social po- sition and great wealth, some of them naturalized British subjects, have been pursued by the relentless "la- dies' committee." Prof. Arthur Schus- ter, a born German, but a naturaliz- ed Britisher, was surprised at his luxurious county seat when a band of detectives descended on him and 'seized his private wireless apparatus. Lady Glanusk has turned the draw- -Sig and reception rooms of her fine house, at Mayfair, into offices for the committee. "Owing to the fact," said Lady Glanusk, "that no serious effort has been made by our menkind to round up the 73,000 alien enemies in our midst, I felt the call to start a pro- test by women, as it is women who Ere the greatest sufferers by war. husband and two sons are fight- g at the front . and thousands of Women can say very much the same." Scarcely a Battle in Which Wire Does Not Participate. The role played by the telephone wires in the war, to say nothing of the barbed variety that protects near- ly 300 miles of battle front, is prodig- ious. With aircraft the telephone wire has largely replaced reconnoiting parties and vedettes. There is scar- cely a skirmish, battle or artillery at- tack in which the wire doesn't parti- cipate, sometimes in co-operation with aeroplanes, sometimes without. Every corps of the French army has a certain number of motorcar telephone shops; each equipped with two complete installations with four miles of wire and an adequate number ground stakes and forked pickets that may be stuck in the bayonet socket of a rifle, serving as a temporary pole. Each of these outfits has also its wireless equipment, with antennaes to reach a height of 60 feet, and a dyna- mo connected with the motor of the car to set up the wireless outfit and put it in operation. The enemy's artillery is constantly on the watch for these motoring wiremen, and occasionally gets them. Projectors and aircraft ordered from Ypres by wireless played a great role in the first battle of Ypres. The air- men were able to ascertain just what troops the Germans were bringing up, while the projectors arrived in time to discover the Prussian Guards at- tempting a surprise attack, and to enable the British to cut them up. bto ORIENTAL MENDACITY. A Little Thing Like the Truth Is of No Account in Egypt. OLD'DISEASE MYSTERY. British Officer Finds. Cause of 4,000 Year Scourge. Lieut. -Col. Leiper, of the London School of Tropical Medicine, has just returned from Egypt, where he had been investigating bilharziosis„ and has communicated an important dis- covery respecting this disease to the' Royal Society of Medicine. The disease, which has been a scourge to the Nile delta for thous- ands of years, has been discovered to have been the cause of death in mum- mies dating back to 2,000 B.C. ' In his report Col. Leiper cited a village where 90 per cent. of the chil- dren are infected. It has long been known that the disease Was trans- mitted by water, but the life and his- tory of the parasite have remained un- established. It has been discovered that the dis- If Orientals have one fault more than another it is a disregard for truth. In the early days of the Eng- lish occupation of India, the English Judges were astounded at the conflict- ing stories told by witnesses, and they soon learned to set them all down as unworthy of credence. In American courts it is also well known that the Chinese are very penurious of the truth, and that no oath will prevent them from giving false witness. In Egypt it is also very easy to get native witnesses to swear to anything, true or untrue. For instance: Ahmed, a native of Cairo, had a slave who peeped over a wall into Suleiman's harem, and the ladies considered themselves insulted. .Suleiman •wanted revenge, but he could not bring his wives into court to testify, so it was agreed that Sulei- man should accuse Ahmed's camel of walking on Suleiman's land. A crowd of witnesses came forward and for two days testified about the camel and the land, until the English Judge de- cided in favor of Suleiman. It was not until a week afterward that the Judge discovered, to his great surprise, that Suleiman had no ground and Ahmed had no camel. NO IDEA What Caused the Trouble. "I always drank coffee with the rest of the family, for it seemed as if there was nothing for breakfast if we did not have it on the table. • "I had been troubled for some time with my heart, which did hot. feel right. ' This trouble grew worse steadily. "Sometimes it would beat fast, and at other times very slowly, so that I would hardly be able to do work for an hour or two after breakfast, and if I walked up a hill, it gave me a severe pain. (The effects of tea are very similar to those of coffee be- cause they each contain the drug, caffeine. ) "I had no idea of what the trouble was until a friend suggested that per- haps it might be coffee drinking. I tried leaving off the coffee and began drinking Postum. The change came quickly. I am glad to say that I am now entirely free from heart trouble and attribute the relief to leaving off coffee and the use of Postum. "A number of my friends have aban- doned coffee and have taken up Pos- tum, which they are using steadily. There are some people that make Pos- tum very weak and tasteless, but if made according to directions, it ,•is a very delicious beverage." Name given by Canadian Postium Co., Windsor, Ont. Postum comes in two forms: Postum Cereal—the original form— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c package. Instant Postum—a soluble powder —dissolves quickly in a cup of hot water, and, with cream and sugar, makes a delicious beverage instantly. 30c and 50c tins.

The eggs of this worm pass from the body into can- als and pools, where they enter mol- lusc and there undergo certain evolu- tions. They emerge from the rnolhiss in a form enabling them to enter the human body through the skin. In this way the disease is commonly contract- ed while bathing and washing. Col Leiper contends that the dis- ease can be exterminated by filling the pools during the dry season. Corns Instant Relic!

POWER FROM VOLCANOES, Italians Are Using Steam From Craters, to Generate Energy. Italy's newest product is electric energy" from volcanic steam, Not far from the little city of Volterra, in Tuscany, is a region of volcanic hot springsthat for a century have been a source of boric acid, and that in addition supply heat for drying the crystals and for the power needed in preparing the material for market. Borings of"30 or 40 feet are said to yield an unfailing supply of steam at pressures up to more than three atmospheres, and of temperatures up to more than 700 degrees Fahren- heit. The steam has been wastefully used in small engines of an old, non - condensing type, but in recent ex- periments the heat of the springs— on account of the impurities contain- ed—is made to generate steam from fresh water, and this is employed in. low-pressure turbines for driving electric generators. The large area to be served with electric energy from the earth's own heat, if present expectations are realized, will in- clude the neighboring cities of Vol- terra, Siena, and Leghorn. 4.

BULLET WOUNDS INFECTED. "Clean" Punctures Unknown to Man Who Treated 10,000 Cases. Clean wounds apparently do not ex- ist, said Dr. H. S. Souttar, late sur- geon -in -chief of the Belgian field hos- pital, in a lecture before the Royal Society of Medicine in London. Much has been written about the clean wound left by the modern bullet, but the doctor never met one in his ex- perience in Flanders, and a colleague who had treated 10,000 wounds in the present campaign confirmed this opin- ion. Every wound is infected, al- though not all the organisms produce disease. Doctor Souttar found it was a mis- taken idea a wounded man could ap- ply his first idea dressing properly. It required clean hands and non-inter- ference with the actual wound. His instructions were that the skin around the wouhd should be disin- fected with iodine, carbolic, or even soap and water, but the wound should not be touched. External appearances of wounds are often deceptive. Back of a small puncture in the skin may be a cavity as large as a fist, perhaps with a piece of shell or a bullet at the bottom. Tea in the Trenches. It is said that tea is the favored beverage of the soldiers in the trenches. It is certain that tea is the most refreshing and sustaining drink under the circumstances, and it has good warmth -giving qualities. It is the first experience of tea for many of the soldiers, and the taste will un- doubtedly spread when they return to their homes after the war. In fact, everything points to a greatly increas- ed consumption of tea all over the world, and as the supply is insuffi- cient to cope with it, the high prices now obtaining may continue for some years. • One Dream Come True. "Strange," said the first tramp, Meditatively, "how few of our youth- ful dreams ever come true." "Oh, I dunno," said his companion. "I remember when I used to dream about ivearin' long pants, and now I guess I wear 'em longer than anyone else in the country." Minaret's Liniment Corea Diphtheria. rS Purifying Steel. Engineering describes the process invented by Lord Chetwynd for puri- fying steel that a Sheffield foundry has now been using for a year and a half. The steel, which is manufac- tured in the usual way in the Sie- Mens-Martin furnace, is first poured or "teemed," into a special ladle. Now steel, when poured into a ladle in the ordinary way, draws with it into the ladle a part of the slag? The slag becomes so intermingled with the steel that it cannot separate from it completely and rise to the surface before the molten mass is poured into 1 the ingot moulds. This difficulty Lord Chetwynd's process obviates. Two iron electrodes are fitted to the bottom of the special ladle, and two graphite electrodes are so placed that they can be lowered to rest in the layer of slag that covers the molten steel. As soon as that happens, an electric current is sent through the steel, which raises the temperature of the metal, and makes it rotate. That frees it •from the gases ,and particles of slag that it brought from the fur- nace. The process lasts about thirty minutes, and the expenditure of cur- rent is small.

The' Animals of East Africa Have No Respect for the Wires. The life of a telegraph or telephone lineman in the tropics is not easy, for a service that uses overhead wires is subject to constant damage both from wild animals and from wild .men. The anima culprits are of all sizes, from elephants and giraffes down to white ants and spiders. The giraffes of East Africa, when they find their progress checked by a telegraph line, do not know enough to draw back or "duck" their heads, ,but push on and carry the wires with them, and sometimes the poles, too. Teak is the only wood that certain kinds of ants respect, so instru- ment cases have to be made of that or of metal. Bees make nests in tele- phone instruments, and spiders attach their webs to the porcelain insulators. When the webs become coated with dew, the insulation is for the time be- ing destroyed, In Argentina, spiders breed in millions in. the pampas grass. As soon as the egg hatches, the young spider spins a single web, which the wind carries across the country, Veils of webs sometimes stretch from pole to pole and cover all the wires. Bee- tles have been known to bore holes in lead cable and lay their eggs in them. In the region round Victoria Nyanza, the natives tear dawn the wire to use for personal adornment. Because of the many annoyances that are insepa- rable from an overhead system in the tropics, •the wireless system has super- seded it in many places. WAVE YOU ABAD SONE?
