LONDON, Nov. 20.-Cardinal Francis
Joseph Mercier, of Malines, primate
of Belgium, has sent an appeal to
the American commission for Belgium
relief for assistance for his starving
Pensioners.
In Malines alone the cardinal says
$4,000 mouths have to be fed daily.
In his telegram to Capt. c. F. Lucey,
of the American commission, the Bel
gian prelate says:
Children come to the German sold
iers and tear bread from their hands
(the soldiers divide their bread with
them); they are really famished.
Every stranger is surrounded by a
great number of women and children
begging him for something to eat.
There is hardly single laborer who
cam find any work to gain his daily
bread"

Smilax may be grown from the back

LONDON, Nov. 20-The lamented
Prince Maurice of Battenberg was
Queen Vivtorias youngest grandchild
and as such was a great favorite with
the queen, passing the first few years

Prince Maurice was the youngest sou

bullet from a bursting shell struck
him and ended his life almost instant

was born at Dunfermline.

AESTHETIC PARIS
SHOCKED WITH
COARSE BREAD
(By Associated Press.)

PARIS, Nov. 2O.-Attention has al
ready been called to the fact that Par
is was never so we'll nor so cheaply
fed as since the war began. This sit

entire country, excepting the unfortun-
ate regions that have been ravaged by
the occupation of the hostile troops.
Paris suffers in this respect from
only one thing; it's delicate taste is re-
bellious to the coarser quality of
bread to which bakers were confined
by government order, and are praying
that the bakers be permitted to furn-
ish the pain de fantastic" as they call
the finer qualities of French bread.
The limitation of baking to this one
coarser quality was intended to so sim
plify the work of the bakers as to rem
edy the difficulty caused by the exodus
OF so many of their employees to the
front. Some of the higher classes OF
bakers, which in Paris come under the
category of pastry-cooks, continue to
make the "croissant" which constitutes
the principal part of the Parisians
breakfast, but for the population in
general there are no "croissants," no
cakes or cookies of any sort, and they
are obliged to take common bread with
their coffee in the morning.
Formerly considerable quantities of
Viennese bread called pain Vennois".

on to his game? Since he de-
pends entirely upon grapes" for
support, and since he uses the
people who patronjze him only as
a means to that end, you can, if
you wish, remove your part of
the combination by ceasing to
support him. That is the only
way to keep him from plucking
the "grapes"-your grapes-he
so brazenly tells you about. He
uses your influence, your patron,
age, just as a bank robber uses q
jimmy-as a tool to hook the
grapes.
Are you going to be his tool?
You will if you subscribe for his
paper or patronize him in any
way.
