Apparently there has been no ces sation in the rapid program of the Germans to seize in its entirety the Russian island of Ossel at the head of the Gulf of Finland. But although their troops now have taken the greater portion of the island, the aid they hr.d expected from their fleet in putting down Rusian opposition in adjacent waters is meeting with con sidtyablo resistance from the .Russian warships The Russians are disinclined to throw their naval vessels into a gen eral engagement with the invaders, fearing that the superiority of the Germans would result in losses to them which would leave open the pathway through the Gulf of Finland up to Petrograd. But in a small bat tle ?With torpedo craft and possibly light cruisers, the Russians have sunk two German torpedo boats and damaged two others in Soela sc^Und, to the north of Oesel island, while the Hu jions themselves lost a torpedo boat destroyer. The German vessels, which were accompanied by a battle ship, put to sea after the engage ment. The German land forces now are driving hard against the Svorb pen insula, on the southwest portion of the Island of Oesel, with the object of capturing the batteries at Serel, which dominate the eastern entrance to the Gulf of Riga. According to the Berlin war office, the Russians in this region are isolated, but are des perately resisting. Berlin reports also that Abro is land, off the southern coast of Oesel and Runo island, in the middle of the Gulf of Riga, have been occupied by Teutonic troops. It is asserted that 2,400 prisoners, 30 1 guns, 21 machine guns and several airplanes were cap turned by the Germans in Oesel. ? Tuesday's War Summary. KEEP WELL THIS WINTER. Don't Pull Down the Windows Nor Leave Off the Morning Bath. Winter is coming on" and it's go ing to be the plucky man or woman who doesn't let the first chill bring down the windows or cause the leav ing off of the morning bath. Whoever would keep 100 per cent efficient must keep well. There are two particularly important aids in keeping well in win ter: Sleep in as much fresh air in winter as in summer and continue the daily morning bath. Leaving off these two health practices reduces one's re sistance to the serious winter dis eases and decreases his efficiency for his work. An effective system of ventilation which every one may have is by means of opening two windows, or a door and a window, on opposite sides of the room. A room is always well ventil ated when a current is produced. Fortunately for people in the South there is hardly a whole day or night in the year that does not permit the windows being open. Foul air diseas es in North Carolina should be almost unknown Sleeping in fresh air in cold weath er is not popular for the reason that people do not prepare for it. Of course they find it cold when they use tho same night clothes in winter as in summer. Sleeping comfortable in cold air requires plenty of soft warm cov er, underneath as well fts on top and soft warm pajamas, heavy bath robes and warm slippers. When one really prepares for sleeping in fresh air by providing the proper kind of bed clothing and night clothes, he finds it delightful and'iMigorating. Furthermore, he finds it easy tak ing a morning bath and that his health and efficiency arc much im proved. ? Health Bulletin. Eggs: last year brought $14,000,000 to Denr.icrk.

For three years the makers have maintained Styleplus at $17 in the face of war conditions. They bought in advance, operated on an increasingly larger scale, and thus kept costs down. When the United States entered the war the fabric market underwent violent changes. To meet these new conditions a $21 grade was added, thus insuring you an even wider selection in fabrics and models. 7 Style plus all-wool fabrics + perfect fit -J- expert workmanship + guaranteed wear N.

Reports ' it t' - firt- whi today destroyed a 1 "~c port ? i,' the Kansas City alockyaids an J resulted in the death of approximately 11,000 cattle and 3,300 hogs, was of an inc ndiary orig in, persist though discredited by offi cials of the corporation owning the yards. While no definite fire damage esti mates have as yet been made, insur ance adjusters and officials of the stockyards corporation, place the loss at approximately $750,000. Insurance was carried both upon the buildings of the stock-yards and upon the livestock. The amount was not announced. Investigations were made during the day of the burned arei by Fire Warden Marvin and Chief Egner, of the Kansas City fire department. Both men believe the fire was set but de clare that the area is so devastated that no indications of an incendiary origin could have escaped the dames. The statement of the officers is bas ed largely upon the assi rtions of Lieut. Bishoff, of the first fire com pany to arrive at the yards, who said that there fire were burning fully 2,000 yards apart, in different por tions ^f the yards. Genera' Manager Collett, of the' yards, declared he believed the fire resu^i' from natural causes and that the wind had blown sparks from the first fire, starting the other two blazes. Private detectives were said to be investigating the incendiary rumors. Receiving and selling will be re sumed in the yards tomorrow in all classes of livestock, except stockers and feeders in the cattle class, ac cording to Mr. Collett. An embargo on this class will be necessary until Monday, he declared. Humanity and the Liberty Bond. Never in history has such suffering been caused by war as at the pres ent day. Millions of men have been killed or wounded and millions in one form or another eripplod for life. The progress that had been made towards the elimination of tuberculosis has been checked and the white plague is adding its hundreds of- thousands of victims to the numbers of the slain. Millionr. of innocent, helpless old men, women and little children have suffered and multitudes of them have died in massacres or from famine r.nd disease. To all this physical suffering must be added the mental anxiety and distress of hundreds of millions of peoples whose nations are engaged in this fearful strife. The sum total of human misery, death, destruction and devastation is beyond all imagination. To help bring this awful condition to an end is the duty and privilege of every man, woman and child in America. Civilization turns to this great nation as its savior from the spirit of militarism, which is so largely responsible for this world wide calamity of war. Everyone who subscribes to the Lib erty Bonds does his or her part in liberating the world from the horrors of the present strife; in the lessening of the suffering of myriads of our fellow men and in the saving of the lives of the soldiers and sailors of the fighting forces. Into this ef fort for humanity, as well as for our country, everyone should throw their whole heart and soul. The sooner the war is over the better for the world. Let everyone then realize their duty in supporting the Government by the subscription to the Liberty Bonds, that America may be the great power which will end this war and all its horrors ? Mabel T.
