The communication and the ques-i tionnaire sent with it have been turned over to Dr. J. M. J. Raunick,' < ity health officer, who expects to make a reply late to-day or to-mor-' row.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Red Cross Comes to Aid of Chinese Sufferers The American Red Cross, through the Civilian Kelief Department, is ai niinislering relief to the sufferers from the recent Tien-Tsin flood, which swept over twelve thousaud square miles of territory, made one million persons homeless, and wlp?d out crops and other property to an t'pproximate value of $100,000,000. Kelief funds to the amount of $123,- 000 aircadj have been made avail able for use, through a committee of Aiaerienm, of which the United States Minister to China. Paul O. Heinle 1., is Chairman; and of which ' Roger (ireen, of the China Medical Commission of the Rockefe..er j Foundation is. the executive, by spec ial designation of the American lied I Cross. Immediately on receipt of the first cablegram from Minister Reinsch. in I Peking, stating the extent of the dis aster as far as known and saying that the Chinese government was not | able to cope with the situation, the j American Red Cross asked Mr. I Reinsch to organize a committee and. under prescribed conditions as Iq its' administration, authorized him to draw for $50,000 through the Stale Department. Subsequently a cable gram from Mr. Green, who had ac- I cepted the appointment tendered by I the Red Cross, and had taken charge of the relief work, stated the more i complete details of the disaster. On j his recommendation authority was j g'ven to draw for $75,000 more to be used to meet half the labor cost of employing ten thousand refugees, j representing fifty thousand people, on road building for four months. The other half of the labor cost, to gether with all expenses for machin ery and engineering, will be borne by the Chinese Government. MASKED MEN' HOLD UP C'RO\VDEI> TURKISH HATH Kansas City—Walter Barber, ne gro masseur in a Turkish bath, was pounding and kneading a patron about 4 o'clock this morning. "Stop that cruelty and climb up on one of those slabs." came an order from behind , him. Walter looked over his shoulder at two masked and armed men and did not hesitate. On their way in the man had locked I. E. Story, night manager, in one of the rooms after inquiring if "Whitey" had been in. The men walked through the sleeping quarters and looked at the men in the various beds, attempting to find "Whitey." The search failed to disclose the man sought. " 'Whitey' is the man we're after, always got a roll / tiu-l's good for a couple of thousand after he has hit a few of these crap games. We'll drop back later sometime when he is here," one of the highwaymen said as both men walked out of the bathhouse, ignoring the several hun dred dollars in jewelry and valuables that had been left in the keeping of the manager for the night.

No inferior article can -, e sold on a largo scale for so many years: and It must not only be good at the outset, but so good that the progress of forty years shall not de velop any better article to super cede it. So women can. with confidence, depend upon that old. tried and test ed remedy for woman's ailments, Lydia E.
