FOUND OUT.
A Trained Nurse Discovered Its Effect.
American physicians and surgeons
in Vienna have endeared themselves
to their colleagues of Germany and
Austria by work in the war hospitals.
American physicians in Vienna made
the following offer, which was handed
to the mayor: "All American physi-
cians of the American Medical asso-
ciation of Vienna, who have studied
and practiced in America and are tak-
ing special work in the general hos-
pitals of Vienna, offer their services
most willingly for the work in the Red
Cross and hope to receive a favorable
answer to their request. They will
comply with all rules of the organiza-
tion and obey all orders given them
by those in command." About three
hundred Vienna physicians answered
as follows: "Your colleagues in Aus-
tria and Hungary wish to extend to
the honored and loved members of the
American Medical association residing
in Vienna their heartfelt thanks for
their voluntary offer of services for
our soldiers wounded in the war, and
will always honor in our memory this
noble, brotherly quality.”

A Red Cross nurse, a clever, busi-
nesslike French woman, who had ex-
perience in the Balkan war, said:
“Germany must be one vast hospital
and France is beginning to be the
same. I have just traveled from the
Atlantic coast through tae—eenter of
France and saw wounded everywhere.
"Already beds aie becoming scarce,
though fortunately there are so many
slightly wounded, that is, cleanly in-
jured, that they recover quickly and
make room for newcomers. But it
-brings home the immensity of the
struggle to see every available school,
institution and public hall turned into
a hospital as well as every big rail-
way station and numberless private
houses.”

The authorities of Vienna are adop
ing the sternest measures to suppress
rioting by the unemployed. Thou-
sands of refugees from Galicia have
arrived. They have added to the
ranks of the out-of-works to such an
extent that the officials are diverting
many of the men to - work on the
earthworks being constructed to de-
fend the city. The police have been
ordered to prevent street parades of
the unemployed. Several of these
mass-meetings have been held, at
which violent speeches were made.
Depots are to be opened in the mar-
ket places, where food will be fur-
nished to those applying.

A piece of four-leaved clover,
pressed, dried and scented—the same
one carried by his grandfather 44
years ago—is tucked away in a pocket
of Kaiser Wilhelm’s gray greatcoat
these days. The little daughter of an
old court official, Louie Schneider,
plucked this leaf in the royal park of
Kabelsburg in July, 1870. After the
German victory at Sedan the child
presented the green spray to old King
Wilhelm. Months later the Schneider
child and her father were summoned
before the emperor. “Here is your
little piece of clover,” the monarch
said. “It has won me victory. I give
it back to you, my child, and hope it
will bring you luck, too.” The kaiser
then cut off one of his white curls and
handed it with the bit of clover to the
girl; Years later Miss Schneider pre-
sented the talisman to the daughter
of the Countess Dehna as a baptismal
gift When the war broke out in Au-
gust last the countess, through the em-
press, presented the clover to the kai-
ser. The truth of this piece of news
is vouched for by the German war
press bureau.

INTERESTING BITS OF NEWS
FROM THE GREAT GERMAN
EMPIRE.
"The Roll of Honor.”
London. — A London newspaper
heads its columns giving brief sketches
of officers killed and wounded In bat-
tle “The roll of honor,” with the sec-
ond line the quotation from Kipling’s
latest poem, “Who Dies If England
Lives?"
Kaiser Wilhelm, on the occasion of
the birthday of the duke of Cumber-
land, wired from his headquarters in
the field as follows: "Though these
are heavy days of trial, I remember
your birthday with sincerest wishes
for yourself and yours. I pray God,
who in his mercy has already done so
much, to stay with our brave troops
and give a final victory over all our
enemies. You can be proud of your
son, who has already earned an iron
cross. Best wishes.—-Wilhelm.”
—4J&L loRBi Courser-Queen—;
Mary's brother, received an income of .
about four thousand dollars per annum (
from interest on mortgages on real
estate in North Germany, and the prin- (
cess has about two thousand dollars
per annum from German government
annuities.
Queen Mary has had to come from (
time to time to the aid of her brother, ,
but her majesty now has to support ,
both him and the princess and their ]
family altogether. The prince was ,
appointed some little while back gov-
ernor general of Canada, but it is un- j
likely that his royal highness will go (
to Canada until the war is over.
The prince and princess with their ,
family are now occupying a few rooms
at SL James palace. They have
two servants and are living in
plainest and simplest manner.
Of all royalties in England the
king of Portugal and Queen Victoria,
his wife, have suffered most severely
in pocket by the war, and the royal
residence at Twickenham has been
thrown into utter confusion.
The whole of the income of the
queen was derived from German
sources, and of course ceased, but that
did not amount to very much, not
more than a few hundreds a year. But
King Manuel, who had invested very
largely lately in Russian and French
securities, on the advice of his banker
in Paris, has for the moment been de-
prived of nearly the whole of a con-
siderable income, excepting the inter-
est on some of his holdings in British
industrial concerns, which have de-
clined about 50 per cent in capital
value.
The ex-monarch is in far worse cir-
cumstances, as a matter qf fact, than
he was at the time of the revolution
in Portugal. He has
fall back on and no
his aid.
Queen Alexandra
Queen Alexandra has also felt the
results of the war severely. Her ma-,
jesty’s. extravagance and carelessness
about her money affairs are matters
that have caused a good deal of talk
in the royal entourage of late.
During the last season Queen Alex,
andra entertained in the
ate and costly way at Marlborough
house, and as a result piled up very
considerable liabilities; to pay these
it became necessary that she should
overdraw her banking account for a
sum~df ?3o0,000while arrangements^
were being made for this overdraft
the war broke out, and her majesty’s
bankers would not entertain the idea
of the loan.
Her majesty for some-, short time
was placed in the most embarrassed
position, for she could not obtain even
any ready money, a fairly plentiful
supply of which is necessary to keep
t-he establishments at Marlborough
house and Sandringham going, and
there were certain liabilities to trades-
people which, though there was no
actual legal obligation on the part of
Queue Alexandra to pay at once, pay*
ment could not be withheld without
giving rise to unpleasant gossip.
Prince Arthur of Connaught has lost
an income of about three thousand
five hundred dollars arising out of
money invested in Germany, which
was settled on him by his maternal
grandfather. This was all the private
means the prince had before his mar-
riage, but he got, of course, an im-
mense fortune with his wife, and
neither he nor the princess have suf.
fered any special inconvenience by
the present financial disturbances.
The Duke of Saxe-Coburg and
Gotha, a first cousin of King George,
who has thrown in his lot with the
German and is fighting for his native
country, has lost for the moment a,
sum of about nine thousand dollars
which he had banked in London and
payment of which has been refused to
the duke’s agent in London.
this has now absolutely ceased, for it
all came from Germany.
Prince Christian, like many other
minor royalties in England, lived up
to the last penny of his Income, and
when sudden financial pressure came
he had no resources of any sort to fall
back on, and tradesmen about Wind-
sor, to many of whom the prince was
in debt, refused to deliver the usual
monthly orders without cash when
the prince oould not pay.
King George came to his relative’s
aid and arranged with the tradespeo-
ple at Windsor to supply Cumberland
lodge with necessaries
food.
Queen's Brother in
Prince and Princess
Teck, who are notoriously among the
most impecunious of royalties in Eng-
land, have also lost practically all
their private means through the war.
No one is in better position to know
the value of food and drink than a.
trained nurse.
Speaking of coffee, a nurse in Pa.,
writes: "I ussd to drink strong cof-
fee myself, and suffered greatly front
headaches and indigestion.
“While on a visit to my brothers I
had a good chance to try Postum, for
they drank it altogether in place of
coffee. After using Postum two weeks
I found I was much benefited and.
finally my headaches disappeared and
also the indigestion.
"Naturally I have since used Postum
among my patients, and have noticed
a marked benefit where coffee has.
been left off and Postum used.
"I observe a curious fact about
Postum when used by mothers. It
greatly helps the flow of milk in.casea
where coffee is inclined to dry it
up, and where tea causes nervousness.
"I find trouble in getting servants
to make Postum properly. But when
it is prepared-accord Ing to directions
on package and served hot with,
cream, it is certainly a delicious bev-
erage.”
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich. Read "The Road to
Wellvllle,” in pkgs.
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum—must be .well
boiled. 15c and 20c packages.
Instant Postum—is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup of hot water and, with cream and
sugar, made a delicious beverage In-
stantly. 30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds la
about the same.

The German people are by no means
on the verge of starvation. The devel-
opment of the agricultural resources
of the country has almost kept pace
with the industrial development. Since
1880 the rye crop has almost doubled,
and it is now about 13,000,000 tons.
This is more than sufficient for home
consumption. During the same period
the wheat crop has increased from
2,800,000 to 4,600,000 tons, and the po-
tato crop from 19,500,000 to 54,000,000
tons. The country has about twice
as many head of cattle and hogs as
thirty years ago. The hay crop is
about 40,000,000 tons. The enthusiasm
with which young and old went into
the'harvest fields was a sight. Men
and beasts, every living thing in the
country, seemed to buckle down to
