When a WalhalIa citizen comes to

neighbOrS of his experience, YOU can
rely on his sincerity. The state
ments Of people residing in far away
places do not command your conf

kind that backs Doan's Kidney Pills
Such testimony IS convincing. In
NcStigatiOn proves it true. Below is
statement Of a Walhalla resident.
NO stronger proof of merit can be
had.

Die In every way. Doan's Kidney

NEVER MISERY LIKE BELGIUAfS.
Investigator Returns With Terrible
Story OF Deprivation.

New York, Dec. 1C.-"A ira gic
misery, the like Of when the world
| has never seen" was the term aD-
| piled tonight TO conditions in Bel
! gium by Theodore Waters, secretary
Of the Christian Herald, who went to
| Belgium last month to supervise dis
tributiOn of the food cargo Of the re-
lief steamer Jan Block, and who re-
turned to-day. Belgium, he said. is
one long bread line Of starving men.
women and children, clamoring for
daily single ration Of soup and
bread.
In Antwerp he said, 81 saw over
thousand poorly clad women stand
ing shivering in the snow waiting for
food to be divided out. In Malines
under the shadow of the cathedral,
it's wall caved in, it's old stained glass
windows but ragged fragments, I
saw men, women and children gaZ-
ing disconsolately at the ruins Of the
houses that once were their homes.
poor people who begged something
to eat of us as we passed. On the
road to Brussels we overlook thou
sands OF refugees returning to vii
lageS where there is not food enough
to sustain those already there. In
Brussels we saw women holding ba-
bies standing on the cold street cor
ners begging for food.
In Holland | found thousands Of
refugees from Belgium huddled in
camps and on barges, some refined
some coarse and brutalizcd, all sleep
ing together without partitions to in
sure the least privacy.
'Stagnation lies like a blight upon
BclSium--Stagnatio Of energy. of
hope. The country was one huge
burying ground. Graves, orphans. a
country dcsolate-its trees cut down
to make way for bullets; its crops.
long gone to seed, sticking lcanly up
through the snow; broken houses.
broken homes, broken hearts, Yet
the refugees were always on the road,
returning to desolate hearthstones.
when ! was in Brussels there was
only enough food on hand to last two
weeks Unless a quantity is shipped
in from America Immediately, Brus-
sells will be threatened with famine.
What is true Of Brussels is true to a
greater degree OF all Belgium. Bel
gium in normal times imports five
siXths of her rood products. On ac-
count OF the war she is not able to
produce even one-Sivth. If she does
not receive food from America-and
that is her only source-her people,
rich and poor alike, will starve. and
starvation will spell ruin, for when
people are hungry they are apt to
commit ill-advised reprisals against
the military"

One OF the gentlemen interested in
the deal discussed the matter with a
reporter for The Intelligencer yester-
day. He pointed out the fact that all
over the country impressions concern
