London, Jan. 22.-While mil
lions of British subjects are starv-
ing or dying of the plague in India,
no relief of any kind is being sent
from England.
There are scores of funds with
enormous subscriptions for every
kind of necessity and absurdity for
the soldiers in South Africa, but
not one penny is being sent to
India, nor even the subject men
toned in London.
Lord Curzon's dispatches, al
though toned down below the act
ual conditions, are revealing a
frightful state of affairs.
But they have not aroused a single
sympathetic voice in England.
England's hands are to full with the
Beers to permit of notice being
given starving India.
IL this condition of affairs con.
tinues it is feared serious trouble
will arise among the natives.

Spend it at SpeigIe's j!

Just little dollar on its mission
sent, makes a lot Of people glad each
time coin is spent. You pay it to
the butcher for meat to give you
strength, he takes it to the grocer
from whom it goes at length, some
pretty bit of cloth or lace, his better
half to buy, or helps to get her winter
hat to make her rivals sigh. The dry
goods man sends on the coin to pay
his market bill, and though the coin
is often spent it stays dollar still;
and every time it's spent at home
some act of good is done, in "toom-
ing'' local industries ere the setting
Of the SUD.
But if you take that shining coin
and break the local chain, the
chances are that from afar twill not
return again. If once it passes out
of town the butcher and the baker,
the grocer and the dry goods man,
the cook, the undertaker,s the car
penter, the carriage wright, the
th-everyone-will lose ere
the settieg of the sun.
Just keep the little coin at home,
just keep it moving well, and every
time it changes hands, somebody's
goods twill sell. That single little
dollar has thus wonderous power,
to make somebody better a dozen
times an hour. Just try a loaf of
Spiegle's bread, made of PLANsIFTER

Territory, and made in Ardmore.
