At the same time London infantry and dismounted yeomanry attacked the strong enemy positions west and northwest of Jerusalem and placed themselves astride the Jerusalem-She-chem road. The holy city, being thus isolated, surrendered to General Al lenby. The capture of Jerusalem by the British forces marks the end with two brief interludes, of more than 1,200 years possession of the seat of the christian religion by the Mohamme dans. For 675 years the holy city has been in undisputed ownership of the Turks, the last christian rtfler of Je rusalem being the German emperor, Frederick II, whose short-lived domi nation lasted from 1229 to 1244. Apart from its connection with the campaign being waged against Tur key by the British in Mesopotamia, the fall of Jerusalem marks the defi nite collapse of the long protracted efforts of the Turks to capture the Suez canal and invade Egypt.

If the case is a very serious one the patient is fnt. to the base hosnital. If how ever the patient is not seriously ill he, gets only a few pills. It has become a joke among the boys. If a man has the headache, toothache, or sore threat he gets some pills. If he has a sprained ankle he gets pills. The infirmary is a regular pill dspensary. The base hospital, however, uses oth er and better means to restore health. Red Cross nurses are always present to hold the patient's aching head and take his temperature. Consequently it may be that soon the boys will sing, "I don't want to get well; no I don't want to get well," just as the boy in the French hospital sang it. The base hospital is a great insti tution, both as regards its size and its work. I hope to be able to give some interesting data to the readers in the near future. - Max Swink has just been released from the hospital. The other Burke boys have been enjoying good health. With so many men the beds are necessarily close together. To pre vent unnecessary contagion of dis ease, especially colds, every other man is required to sleep with his feet to ward the wall so that one man has his head toward the wall, the next, his feet, and so on throughout the entire company so that one is remind- all classes up to and including class four are exhausted. Those placed m class five are exempt. But please re member that the work now being done is for the purpose of classifying the men only. They will not be called for examination until after Christ mas, possibly not until next February. No more men will be sent to the army from this county until possibly next February, except the colored men al ready selected by this board and only those white men sent to supply any of our boys rejected at camp. If the registered men over the coun ty will read the above carefully they and this board will be saved much con fusion and trouble. A. C. AVERY, Chairman Local Board.

There is a strong feeling among members who are already in Wash ington that the nation-wide prohibi tion amendment is almost certain to pass both branches of Congress by a safe majority and that the chances for woman suffrage are considered good. Those who have mingled with the common people during the re cess of Congress say there is a strong back home that nation wide prohibition should be adopted by Congress and unless all signs fail the house will adopt the amendment by a safe majority. While the woman sugrage bill is not so sure of becoming a law at this time, the great campaign which is being waged by the women is cer tain to win its way here with Con gress and the only question now is whether it will win at this session or not.

",A few years ago," says the board, "a man 'ior't want to know it if his arteries were hardening, if his blood pressure was high or if anything was wrong with him inside. He seemed to prefer to travel life's road in ig norance and darkness to be cut down at an unexpected moment without warning or without remedy.; Such a method of living is considered now not only unsafe but unsound. Ap plied to business it would wreck any firm or fortune as it used to wreck the most valuable lives, all unneces sarially. Men are now using the same common sense in keeping them selves well that they use in running their business. If they are headed to ward some disease they want to know it so as to take another course. They no longer prefer that sickness or death slip up on them unawares, when they can intelligently prevent it. "To have a medical examination once or twice a year to know if there is any defect or impairment that needs correcting, or if any disease has set in, that it may soon ae checked, or if the living habits are wrong that they may be changed, is the most in telligent sort of health work. The selective draft has not only taught us the CTeat need for such work but the value of it. Men who were rejected a. r - , - - I .
