Mrs. Castle finds 868 women in all history who come within the standard set by her. Taking the six principal encyclopedias recognized by America, England, France and Germany, she has chosen only those women agreed upon by any turee of these. It is gratifying to note that in this list America though only two centuries old, comes fourth in the number of eminent women. England stands at the head, France next, Germany third, and then after our own country come Italy, Austria, Spain, Russia, Sweden, Greece, Scotland, the Byzantine Empire, Holland and Ireland. Harriet Beecher Stowe the mo6t eminent American woman, ranks twentieth in the list of 868 according to Mrs. Castle's standard of rating, while Marie Stuart stands at the head and George Sand is fifth. Tables of various sorts add to the value of this work and a great many interesting facts are brought out.

How an Indiana man, H. W. Thornton, formerly superintendent of the Richmond division, Pennsylvania Lines, now general manager of the
Great Eastern Railway of Great Britain, provided funds for hundreds of war impoverished Americans in London and once more demonstrated to
Englishmen how to operate a railroad, is graphically told in cable dispatches.
Thornton is a native of Logansport, Ind., and is one of the many famous graduates of the J. F. Miller "school of railroading." At the outbreak of the European war thousands of Americans began to pour into London, nearly all without baggage and with only small amounts of cash. As soon as Thornton learned of the condition of his fellow countrymen he immediately came to their rescue and today he is the popular idol of these stranded Yankees. Thornton issued a notice to American travelers that the Great Eastern Railway, having for years enjoyed the patronage of many Americans to the Continent by its route by Harwich and the Hook of Holland to Antwerp, desired to provide all the assistance within its power to American citizens in temporary embarrassment pending the reopening of the banks and would cash evpress company's checks, travelers' checks and similar paper. Mr. Thornton said that he appreciated that conditions were becoming serious a week before the war and began accumulating all the cash possible. Mr. Thornton is being highly praised for his management of the steamship services to the Continent. While the English manager of other lines were reducing their service or suspending it entirely Mr. Thornton doubled him to the Hook of Holland and Antwerp, carrying more than 10,000 each night.

Captain Becker of the Tennessee and Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge, photographed on deck of Tennessee just before she sailed. "I'll light her up like Coney Island." This was Captain Davi's reply to a question put to him just before the cruiser Tennessee, carrying $8,000,000 in gold, for Americans stranded in European countries, departed for foreign waters. The captain had been asked if he would follow the example of the giant liners which crossed the Atlantic with light out to avoid attracting attention. The only secret about the Tennessee's trip is her destination. She sailed under sealed orders. Aboard the Tennessee was Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge, who will supervise the relief work in foreign cities.

MANY REMARKABLE RESULTS OBTAINED IN RICHMOND Many cases of chronic eczema, salt rheum and tetter, lasting over ten years, that have exhausted the patience of the family doctor and baffled the skill of skin specialists are now yielding promptly to this new prescription for skin diseases. Amolox Is a clean, mild, antiseptic liquid. Apply or wash the skin with a few drops, the ache and burning stops instantly. Barber's itch, ring worm, red nose, pimples, acne, are banished In a few days. So confident are we of the great merit of the Amolox Prescription -we have made arrangements with A. G. Luken Co., to pay back the money to any skin sufferer where the results are not satisfactory, the patient alone to be the Judge. A young man in high school was recently cured by Amolox of a very bad case of acne. His face was so broken out with sores and pustules, that the embarrassment from his unsightly appearance kept him from attending social functions. A prominent citizen was cured of a chronic case of years' standing of eczema of the hands. Many cases like the above are being cured dally In towns where Amolox is being introduced. (Advertisement)
