Bloemfontein, Orange River Col- eny, via London, Jan. 29, 9:29 A, M.— A preliminary hearing in the case of Darend Wessels, a member of the South African parliament who was ar- rested early in December on a charge of treason, was held here Thursday. ding to the evidence given he in gef i AR HEGRALGID PAIRS These may be felt ih any nerve of the body but are most frequent in the nerves of the head. Neuralgia may be caused tby a decayed tooth, eye-strain or a dis- eased ear but the most common cause is igeneral debility accompanied by anemia, ‘or thin blood. For this reason women who work too. hard or dance toc much and who do not get sufficient rest, sleep and fresh ajr, are the most frequent sutferers from neu- ralgia and sciatica, which is neuralgia of the sciatic nerve. Nutrition for the nerves is the correct treatment for neuralgia and the only way s*nourish the mnerves is through the blood. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills supply to the blood just the elements it needs to increase its capacity to carry nourishment to starved nerves. They have proved helpful in #o many cases of neuralgia and geiatica _that any sufferer from these froubles’is fully justified in giving these pills 2 trial.

Petrograd; Russia, Jan. 29.—The Russian semi-official news agency to- day issued a categorical denial of tae rumor published by the Vienna All- gemeine Zeitung that Russia has dis- cussed the possibility of concluding a separate peace with Austria-Hun- gary, based on the cession of eastern Galicla by Austria-Hungary and Rus- sla’s consent that Serbia be incor- porated in the dual monanchy. The rumor is described by the news agen as utterly without foundation and cir- | culated by the newspapers of Austria with ulterior motlves. Snyder, $100,000 NEWARK FIRE. Newark, N.

E} ; IF vour children have desired to as- sist in the preventive work for v“weunded soldiers, perhaps you will be gratified to learn of ways into which their little services may count for real effectiveness, for there are many things of exceeding simplicity which are greatly needed by the Red Cross and other relief societies and which the child can well do. Perhaps the point to fix in mind firmly before choosing what shall be made is how it is to be muade. The pat- tern should not be too large or small for possible use. The materials, too, should be of good quality. If your child can knit there are the abdominal bands, for which yarn that is all wool should be used instead of that which is partly cotton and wool, or the difference in the resultant warmth is enormous. In making band- ages use unbleached muslin, which is inexpensive, but do not use cheese- cloth. Bandage Making Interesting. The making of bandages is very in- teresting and can be done by the very little girl. All that is necessary is a small machine for rolling, which is not very expensive. This machine is es- sential, for nurses and physiciang#®an- not use the hand rolled bandages, as they are not sufficiently firm or even. There is a greater need of bandage rolls than of any other single article, and one cannot make too many of them. The bandage rollers range in price from $1.75 to $2.76 and are simple lit- tle contrivances, having a central rod, ends and a handle for turning. The bandage rolls may be three or four inches wide and seven yards long and are preferably of unbleached muslin, which costs about 7 or 8 cents a yard. The, should be fastened at the ends by koot B b drdedode b bbb b g b bedeed g do dreleded oo oot deob dob dofede b At To Make the Soldier Comfortable sk mmwvrt a few stitches and should not be pin- ! ned. Gauze Pads Simple to Make. Simply made, too, are the gauze pads. They are nine inches square, of eight thicknesses, made from a piece of gauze cne yard wide and one-half yard long and folded. Cotton swabs, too, can be made by the child whose hands are just beginning to obey her behests. They are merely bits of absorbent cotton, smade in circular swabs about an inch In diameter and at one side twisted up into a tight little handle. The bandages should be done up in packages of twelve and firmly tied, and the pads in tied packages of twenty-five. Hand- kerchiefs of muslin are very acceptable oo diod dodtd bt ik delobo e dedefoode oo dddedeodeodeodeodoododo and are made of plain square pieces, simply hemmed at the edges. Knitted articles which may be of service to the men in the war are nu- merous. Some are simply made, such as the wristlets, the shawls and the abdominal bands. Others, including heelless socks, for hospital use, and the cap are more difficult, and only the older girl should attempt them. In knitting these articles use only the all wool yarn, for, although it is slightly more expensive, it gives more warmth, and it were better to make fewer and make them well than to make num- bers and cause added suffering to the soldiers. This wool retails for $1.35 a pound, a pound containing four skeins, or hanks. Abdominal belts are important for warmth. A simple way of making them is to cast from 160 to 200 stitches on No. 13 steel needles. Knit three inches ribbed (knit two, purl two); knit on to two No. 9 bone needles and knit eight inches plain.

New York, Jan. 29—Count Vor Bernstoff, ambassador to the United States has given guarantee that the cargo of foodstuffs on board of the American steamship Wilhelmina now on the high seas bound for Hamburg, Germany will not reach the German government or its naval or military forces, The guarantee was given at the solicitation of attorneys for the W. L. Green Commission company of St. Louis, shippers of the cargo, who fear seizure of the ship by war vessels of the allies, and desire, they say, to be free from suspicion that they have sent the foodstuffs for any other purpose than for sale to the civil population, Letter Made Public. Count Von Bernstorff’s leter con- taining the guarantee was made public yesterday by Norvin L. Lind- heim, of counsel for the shippers, and is as follows: “I have noted from vour letter of January 23 that the W. L. Green Commission company of St. Louis., Mo., has shipped on the steam- ship Wilhelmina foodstuffs to Ham- | burg for the exclusive consumption of the civil population of Germany. 1, as representative of the German government, guarantee to you that the foodstuffs will not reach the Ger- | man government, its agents or con- tractors, nor the military and naval foroes. I will further take the nec- essary steps which will insure that the German government will not make use of its right of pre-emption. “The order of the German, federal council, which is at present being commented upon in the press has merely been issued to prevent food- stuffs at present in Germany from being cornered and speculated with, thus bringing about an inflation of their prices. At any rate, the or- der does not affect foodstuffs import- ed from neutral countries and in- tended exclusively for non-combat- ants, i1 all at once communicate in this matter with the state depart- ment and advise you later.” Teft January 22. The Wilhelmina, flying the Amer- ican flag, left this port on January | 22. Counsel for the W. L. Green Commission company, charterers of the ship, announced at that time that if the Wilhelmina was detained or seized the company would file a protest that the cargo was condi- tional contraband, denying the right of a belligerent warship to confls- cate it, and requesting the TUnited States to demand the immediate release of both ship and cargo.

The “Comfort Bag.” Articles which come under the head of luxuries, although in ordinary times they seem to be the barest necessities, may form interesting work for the child charitably inclined. These are con- tained in the “domfort bag,” which is made of cretonne, varying in price from the very cheap to the very expensive. The bags contain things which may give unexpected pleasure to the soldiers during their leisure camping moments.
