Aunt Mittie Mills enjoyed a wide
reputation among her acquaintances
for all the household virtues. She was
as neat as the proverbial pin. Once,
however, in order to sustain that repu

ception.
A neighbor, an intimate friend, pass
ing her home, discovered her indus
triously scrubbing her piazza floor,
and sought an explanation.

GRANDMOTHER KNEW
There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion and Colds

burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that
mustard plasters gave, without the plas

MUSTEROLE does it. It is a clean,
white ointment, made with oil of mus
tard. It is scientifically prepared, so
that it works wonders, and yet does not
blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage MUSTEROLE in with
the finger-tips gently. See how quickly
it brings relief—how speedily the pain
disappears.

OPENING OF DARDANELLES MH
MIO EFFECTS
Development of Indicated Operations Seems to Purpose Expulsion
of Turks From Constantinople—Allies in West End Need Oil
and Grain, While Russia Desires Southern Ingress to
Her Territory for Her War Shipments.
New York.---The Herald's naval
correspondent writes:
The most striking characteristic of
this great war is the rapidity with
which its main interest centers first
in one part of the world and then in
another. Something like eight thou
sand miles separated the scene of
the battle off the Falkland islandsand
that off the Dogger bank, while on
land attention is riveted at one time
on the Belgian coast or the campaign
i In Lorraine, and at another in the
! Carpathians or on a life-and-death
struggle in Poland. This week the
minds of both naval and military
watchers of the conflict have been di
rected to the Dardanelles, the gates
of Asia. There another phase of the
world-wide war is opening, the effect
of which no man can tell.
Each of the contending empires in
the conflict possesses an advantage
which in a measure compensate one
the other. While Britain holds the
command of the sea. Germany has the
interior position on land, which en
ables her to strike alternately heavy
blows o'n either front. She also has
been able, witli the assistance of Aus
tria and Turkey, and aided by the
geographical conditions, to drive a
wedge between the communications of
her enemies which extends from the
North sea almost to the Indian ocean.
The movement in the Mediterranean
indicates the determination on the
। part of the superior sea power to cut
| that wedge in two.
The strategic Importance of the
straits between Europe and Asia has
been recognized from very ancient
times. It was on the Chersonese, the
peninsula on the western side of the
strafts, that the Turks got their first
foothold in Europe. It may very well
be that if it now falls into the hands
of Great Britain ftp occupation by
British troops will mean the uproot
ing of the last vestige of Ottoman rule
in the northern continent. There are
at least indications of the development
of a far-reaching operation from both
ends of the Sea of Marmora, having
for its purpose the expulsion of the
Turk from Constantinople.
There are other objects of first-class
importance to be-obtained from a suc
cessful attack on the Dardanelles. Now
that the Archangel route is closed by
ice, communication between Russia
and her allies has almost entirely
ceased. There is no outlet for the
immense supplies of corn and oil of
which they are in want and which she
could furnish, and, on the other hand,
-the only source of supply of the mu
nitions of war, which she cannot man
ufacture herself, must be brought over
the long and difficult road from Vladi
vostok and Harbin. The opening of
the Dardanelles and the Bosporus
must have, therefore, an immediate
and important effect both in the west
ern and eastern theaters of war. Nor
can it be doubted that a substantial
gain of this character to Germany's
foes would directly influence the na
tions which have been for so long hes
itating about entering the war. All
the Balkan States would be affected
considerably, and while Greece could
scarcely stand still with Russia at the
gates of Constantinople, Italy might
well feel that this sharp stroke re
moved the last doubt as regarding the
side with which she should be acting.
Os the operation itself, although the
Dardanelles have long been regard
ed as impregnable, It is more than
likely that as other fortresses have

so those in the straits will be over
whelmed by the mass of explosives
hurled upon them from the long-range
artillery of the battleships of today.
When the forts in the straits were
planned ships were dependent upon
the wind and they carried guns which
could not compare in power with
those mounted in the land batteries.
When Vice-Admiral Duckworth took
a British squadron through the straits
in 1807 his vessels were assailed with
huge shots, some of them weighing 800
pounds, but even these heavy missiles
did little damage. Today the British
ships will throw shells filled with high
explosives, each more than double the
weight of the shot thrown at Vice-Ad
miral Duckworth's ships, and the de
struction wrought by such missiles
will be immeasurably greater.
Moreover, it is unnecessary for the
ships themselves to approach near
'enough to ba-injured by the shore bat
teries,‘even if the guns in these have
been somewhat augmented from Ger
man sources. It is already announced
that the forts at the mouth of the
straits, about two miles apart, have
been crumbled into atoms, and those
in the narrows, further up, can be sim
ilarly treated at ranges at which the
ships themselves will be comparative
ly immune. There remain other ob
structions in the shape of mines in
the channel, but that these have been
located by the British submarines Is

she felt warm breath on her face and
was too badly frightened either to
scream or to move. She thought that
she was about to be chloroformed and
a second later, when she felt a sharp
sting in her cheek, she was certain
that a hypodermic needle had been
used by a burglar. She screamed for
her brother, who rushed into the room

The cause of the wound was not

bit the young woman, was caught and

A'huge breaker picked up the house

Method by Which One Man ‘‘Made
Good” May Be Recommended to
All Salesmen.
Inquisitiveness is not generally re
garded as an admirable trait. Yet
when inquisitiveness is properly di
rected, it is one of the most useful
habits of mind. A story illustrating
this point is told by John j. Arnold,
vice-president of the First National
bank of Chicago. In a talk to em
ployees of the members of the Chi
cago Association of Commerce he re
lated the experience of a young man
he had known as a boy in a wholesale
house in Chicago, where the latter
started his career as a helper to a
- salesman.
“He got hold ojpceriain classes of
goods,” Mr. Arnold said. “The names
appealed to him. He set to work and
studied the history of that particular
fabric. He got the name of the fac
tory. He wrote to the factory in Eng
land and asked for particulars as to
the institution. He studied that in
stitution from one end to the other
and he studied all of the fabrics, all
of the different things that went to
make up that' particular piece of
goods, and in that way he analyzed
every piece of goods that came into
his hands, lie was not satisfied mere
ly to take the goods and hand them
out, but he wanted to know whai he
was handing out. The result is, to
day he is one of the most expert buy
ers in this city, in one of the greatest
wholesale houses. Those are the
things that count. Get down to a
study of the inside workings of the
thing that you are handling.”

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which It
Was Almost Impossible for
Him to Lose.
There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of a watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing-room.
In one chair sat a beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed, her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with a powerful effort
of self-control. In another sat a
young man whose face expressed se
riousness but confidence. In his hand
lie held an open watch which he ob
served closely, only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beauti
ful girl, who seemed to be in such
agony. •
Five seconds, ten. fifteen, twenty
seconds passed. The position of
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes gleamed with a
wiki light; she clasped her hands con
vulsively. and
“I must speak!" burst from her
bloodless lips.
“Twenty-four seconds," said the
young man. as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. “You
lose the pair of .gloves by exactly six
seconds.”
He had bet on a sure thing.
Tempting.
The sailor had been showing the
lady visitor over the ship. In thank

Jack, “so were apples in the Garden of
Eden."
