Z Greeks Capture Servia. despatch from Athens says: ie Greeks have occupied the town Servia, and have also captured bridge over the River Aliak- (Indje Karasa), thereby cutting off the retreat of the Turks. Another Bulgarian Invasion. despatch from Sofia says: An- her Bulgarian army has invaded rkey. this time along the shores the Black Sea. After occupying e coast town of Vasilika they eaptured Tirnovo, and are now ad- rancing southward upon the impor- mt town of Visa. The prisoners taken by the Bul- garians say the vigorous offensive movement of the invaders took the Turks by surprise. The Turks are demoralized, ill-fed and badly dis- ciplined. se Varying Reports of Fight. According to one report, a deci- sive movement against Kirk-Kilis- seh began Monday evening, when cavalry and infantry, under cover of a heavy artillery fire, attacked the town on two sides. The Bulgar- ians have completely surrounded Kirk-Kilisseh, which the Turks re- gard as of almost equal importance with Adrianople. Its defence has been entrusted to Muktar Pasha, son of the Grand Vizier, and Hazim Pasha. Severe fighting is also reported in the Struma Valley. The Bulgarians on Tuesday occupied important stratezic points in Kresna Pass. The Turks fled, abandoning muni- tions and supplies. Servian Victories. A despatch from Belgrade says: Official announcement was made here on Thursday night that the Servians have captured Novi Ba- zar, Prestina, Kumanova, Kratova and Kotschana. Detachments of the Servian army entered Kumano- va on Thursday afternoon after annihilating the Turkish batteries. The fighting around that town last- ed three days. The Turks Defeated. -In an engagement Tuesday at Marash, at the junction of the Mir- itza and Arda Rivers, close to Ad- rianople, the Bulgarians were at- tacked by 8,000 Turks. After an hour of heavy artillery and rifle fire the Turks were defeated and fled in disorder, leaving the field strewn with dead and wounded. The Bul- garians captured 300 prisoners, a dozen quick-firers and quantities of munitions. Many Turks drowned themselves in the river because they believed the Bulgarians massacred their prisoners. Drove Greeks Back. A despatch from Athens General Sapountzakis, the commander, wires from Arta that throughout Wednesday fighting in the 'Kamatsades defile was indeci- sive. At night the Turks made a surprise attack with greatly su- perior forces and succeeded in driv- ing back two Greek battalions oc- cupying the defile. The engage- ment continued all night.

Every twenty-four hours there ses out through the pores of ur skin about a quart of. water. his "insensible perspiration" oes on in the body of every healthy 1an without his knowing it. This aporation from the skin is nec- essary in order that the body may Temain at an even temperature, ind able to resist sudden chills, severe cold or extreme heat. At the game time, a still greater amount of water is passing out of the body through the lungs and other or- ans. Now ,if you allow the body to part with all this water without pplying the loss, every tiny cell n the system is robbed of its op- portunity to grow, and one of the many ailments due to poor cell growth is bound sooner or later to develop. Thus, the importance of drinking enough pure water to keep the tissues of the body supplied is at once apparent. Se Water taken in great quantities nd at long intervals is not so bene- ficial to you as small amounts taken at frequent intervals. Nor does the large amount you drink after exer- cising or when perspiring in hot weather repair the loss from "in- ensible perspiration," for at such times you only quench your thirst, hich is a hurried demand of the drying cells for nutriment due to the unusual loss of water. " To keep in perfect health and to event the arteries from growing brittle in middle age, you should drink two or more glasses of pure, cool water every morning before eating breakfast. Between meals glass or two should be taken. Do 10 wait for thirst, but try to keep the moisture of the bodv at a per- ect balance. Do not drink iced water at any time. Bad complexions and trou- blesome indigestion may often be traced to its habitual use.---Youth's - Companion. * Avoiding Eye Strain. strain is said to he largely a ¥ begets > of civilization. To counter- pet it children should be encour- aged to nse their eves at long range and older persons should so train themealves. _A teacher who has a survrisinely Wo amannt of eve strain among nynile attrihntes it to her nrac- af hoving the scholars drop rowork at the end of each hour k out of the window. There is a contest over who sees furthest. This rests and trains eyes and teaches observation. A woman who does fine sewing for her living found her eyes strained and weak. She was advis- ed to drop her sewing every half hour and look for a minute into space. Relief was quick and the eye strain disappeared. Near-sighted persons who hold their book or work close will ease eye strain and lengthen their vis- ion if they frequently remove their glasses and look at some object on their furthest horizon. This long distance training will not, however, relieve eye strain that comes from astigmatism, reck- less disregard of the eyes or from glasses that do not suit the eyes.

"Why, mother," she cried, "you're "Yes,'"? mother agreed. 'But see!'? She held a mended stocking close beside the woven paper mat. Anna May could see that the soft thread that mother used was woven in and out across the worn place in the stocking just as her paper slips were woven ; the tiny black squares showed in mother's pattern just as the pink and green squares showed in the paper mat.

A despatch from Berlin, Ger- many, says: Hundreds of Berlin housewives joined in a wild riot on Wednesday because the butchers in the municipal markets refused to handle meat imported so as to re- duce the cost.of living. The prin- cipal trouble occurred in the Wed- ding District, which is entirely in- habited by working people. Hun- dreds of women went to the muni- cipal markét there on Wednesday morning hoping to profit by-the re- duced prices settled on by the Mun- icipal Council. They found, how- ever, that the butchers had agreed not to deal in meats imported by the municipality.

PARAGRAPH turned Verdict In the Famous New York Murder Pate R C= by Jury - A despatch from New York says: Guilty of murder in the first de- gree,"' was the verdict returned three minutes before midnight on Thursday night by the jury in the j|ease of Lieutenant Becker, charg- ed with killing Herman Rosenthal. The jury had been out exactly seven hours and 57 minutes. The length of its deliberation, and the frequency of its requests for exhi- bits, together with an unmistakable sign of hot arguments in the jury- room, had led most of those who waited late at the Criminal Courts building to believe that there would be no agreement. So that when the blow finally fell upon the defendant its force was all the more crushing. Becker's lawyers had grown more confident as the hours sped. Beck- er himself, chatting pleasantly with his wife, the Plitt brothers, and a former reporter, Frederick H. Haw- ley, who had testified in his behalf, was serenely confident that thore could be no answer fro mthe jury- room save not guilty. The convicted man bore up un- der the shock with the grimness and resolution that had character- ized him all through the-trial. When the momentous answer came to the question of the clerk of the court, "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon a verdict?' the Lieutenant turned calmly toward Harold B. Skinner, the foreman, and displayed no emo- tion whatever as Mr. Skinner pro- nounced a few short words that spelled his fate. The only sign of agitation, the only visible appear- ance of shock, wasagrayness that spread over his dark face, the nar- rowing of the fierce eyes, and a contraction of the muscles of the throat. Presently when he lifted his' right hand and gave oath as to the facts of his age and circum- stances there was not a quiver of the big arm or a waver of a finger. He could answer the formal ques- tions put to him only in husky tones, barely audible a few feet from where he stood at the bar of the court, FROM ERIN'S GREEN ISLE MEWS BY MAIL FROM LAND'S SHORES. ------ Happenings tn the Emerald Isle Interest to Irish. men.
