The Servian people thao it does pity for

While the assistance and sympathy
of Hie entire world has gone out to
carry relief to the Belgians, to the
French people, to the Poles and to the
people of Galicia, nobody seem to real
ise that in Servia disease and the cold
weather are to day finding more victims

such that the wounded die unattended

ambulances, of doctors anil of nurses,
of medicines and of surgical instru

In several Servian villages there are
more than 1.000 wounded in each com

It is estimated that fully sixty Brit
ish ships of different classes are due at
Liverpool, ami tiiat the approximate
value of these vessels and their cargoes
is $-00,000,000.
Few of the larger "British liners are
at sen just now. as the service is much
! curtailed because of the war.
Comparatively 'ew British liners have
'ailed from this port for Liverpool re

| The Cunarder Orduna and the Atlantic
transport liner Minnewaska sailed for

if the North Atlantic became dangerous
for shipping. Both are comparatively

Only Told the Truth
When lie was a student at Heidel
berg .lohn Sharp Williams was regard
ed as having the most robust imagina- j
tion in the student body. That truth
is stranger than fiction, however, was
proved one day at his boarding place, ,
when the future United States Senator
chanced to describe the kind of pota
toes he had been raised on in his na- j
tivo Mississippi. They were so unlike
potatoes as the German people knew ,
them that the whole proposition was
beyond belief. Yet John Sharp had
done nothing but describe the ordinary ;
sweet potato of every day commerce.

FOR "THAT MAN'S" XJIAS
Here's the Answer to a Very Puzzling
Question
•lust before the Christmas holidays,
when the stores are thronged by the
"last-minute rush;'' when you've often
rocked your brains for an idea that will
solve the question of what to give hus*
band, father, Brother Tom or .lack;
when you've looked back on former
trial-, ilue fo your having picked the
wrong tie or a misfit shirt or socks that
were 100 small —did it ever occur t<i
you that you might settle the matter
quickly and satisfactorily without los
ing any beauty sleep bv giving him
a glass humidor of I'rince Albert, the
national joy smoke?
It's a neat looking crystal-glass re
ceptacle. holding n pound of the best
liked tobacco made. Whenever ths
supply is exhausted it may readily be
replenished, and the humidor keeps tlis
tobacco moist, fresh and fragrant all
Ihe time.
Von will find it in all stores where
tobacco is sold, and you needn't hesi
tate to walk right in and ask for it.
The clerk won't bite pud the tobacco
can't, either. The bite has been taken
out of P. A. by a wonderful patented
process. Think of the pleasure it will
give "him" and the possible annoy
ance it will save you It's a gift that
will not be slipped to the janitor or
tihe oflice boy. like a tie that doesn't
strike ' 'his" fancy.
And, furthermore, when "he" is
thinking of a gift, for a business asso
ciate or acquaintance or n male rela
tive, help him out of the difficulty by
suggesting a crystal-glass humidor of
Prince Albert. As a man's gift it can
not be duplicated in acceptability hr/
anything else at so nominal a cost. It's
found at. the nearest shop that sell*
tobacco. Adv,
