CHILDREN TEAR BREAD

Cardinal Mercier Describes Condition
of Famished Belgians in
Vicinity of Malines.
Stirring Appeal for Aid Is Sent to
Americans-Thousands Are
Without Food.

LONDON, November 10 Cardinal
Francois Joseph Mercier. primate of
Belgium, who has just returned to his
own country after visit to England,
where he received an enthusiastic re-
ception. sends a stirring appeal through
the American commission for relief in
Belgium, for assistance for his starving
parishioners of Malines and the sur
rounding neighborhood.
In the city of Malines alone, the car
dinal says, 1900 mouths have to be
fed daily. In his telegram to Capt
c. f. Lucey of the American commits
sion the Belgian prelate says:
Children come to the German SOL
diers and tear bread from their hands;
(the soldiers divide their bread with
them) they are really famished.
Beg for Something to Eat.
Every stranger who comes to the
city or goes into the country Is sur
rounded by a great number of women
and children begging him for some
thing to eat. There is hardly a single
la borer who can find any work to gain
his daily bread.
Everything is lacking-we are in
want of potatoes, peas. grain, flour,
meat aud bacon. No petroleum is OBJ
taiuable: coal can be obtained in the
district of Charleroi. but the railways
cannot carry the coal because the COM
munications are interrupted. The cat

DANDRUFF SOON

Brittle and Thin.

Girls-if you want plenty of thick.
beautiful, glossy, silky hair. do, by
all means, get rid of dandruff, for il
will starve your hair and ruin it, if
you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash 1t out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it. then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces
of ordinary liquid arvon. apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
rnoisten the scalp and rub il in gen
tly with the finger tips.
BY morning most, If not all, of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
Of it.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop,
and your hair will be silky, fluffy,
lustrous, soft, and look and feel a
hundred times better. You can get
liquid arvon at any drug store. II
is inexpensive and four ounces is all
you will need, no matter how much
dandruff you have. This simple

from Antwerp to Brussels and thence
to Mons an official war area, where no.
body, including even Germans. is al

1t was learned from some of them,
however, that DiXmude, the scene of

Nieuport also suffered severely. The

carvings in its interior have been
demolished.
In Ypres the cloth hall, which was
on. of the few ancient buildings saved
from the English siege in the year
1855, is severely demaged by shrapnel
fire.
In Termonde the Germans have or
dered the schools reopened, but since
the ten thousand habitants have been
reduced to a hundred there are no pu-
pills, and besides, as four-ffths of the
