EniEAfi5 STORY
 OF BELGIAN ptsrREee
-


 supplementing the "stolg" contain cd in The Empire 3 week ago. of tue uhering in Belgium 90 described by Jarvls D. Bell. e member of the Amer ican relief commission is the follow ine article which Bell sent from Lon don:
 "As we entered Che villages women and children sought refuge in tho ruins of rooiies homes terrified lestwe were some ffeah visitation of war. Their faces were drawn and lined and ii you could only see the guesome surround. ings in which they are struggling for exietence you would not wonder that they fail to smile.
 "The Belgian peaaant has in many districts no home in which to sleep DO seed to SOW no implements with which to work. no transport to reach o mar ket and finally no heart to struggle against the inevitable. It is mbeliey. able that war ever produced such a complete and tragic paralysis as we saw in many parts of Belgium.
 Merely Modern War.
 Gt cannot be attributed to lack of courage on the part of the civilian pop ulatlon or to the inhumanity of the conqueror 1t is simply war ID to date civilized, Christian war.
 eThe American relief steamship Co., blentz, carrying more than 1000 tons of foodstuns. arrived at Rotterdam at three o'clock Sunday morning. The Dutch government, with great kind ness, made an exception to the rigid rule against working on Sunday. The labor unions made equal concession, with the result that on Monday morn ing eight barges lowed by four express tugs left Rotterdam enroute to Brus- BelB with relief supplies.
 "On each barge was a large printed notice certifying that the cargo had been sent by the American commission in care of the American minister to Belgium.
 "On the door of the captains cabin in each barge was copy of General Von Der Goltzs proclamation instruct ing on German officials to give safe conduct and assistance to the Ameri- can relief cargo General Yon Der Goltz is German military governor of Belgium.

gUslNEss IS BETTER.

MINNEAPOLIS. Nov. 15. = The Northwestern National bank In it's cur rent review says:
 Judging from the checks daily pass ing through the bank, from the depos- its made by merchants, and the reports of sales managers, 1t appears that if anything, a little more money than last year is being spent in Minneapolis, in spite of the alleged depression caused by the unsettled condition of Europe.
 eThe difficulties of import trade have caused many Of the retailers to feature goods made in America, and the volume Of sales indicates that these domestic goods appeal strongly to purchasers.
 "Another fact significant of strong underlying prosperity is the demand for better class of goods in all lines -(Seattle PostIntelligencer)

Mooeg HUNTING IN MAINE.

BANGOR, Me., Nov 25.-The moose hunting season, which has just open ed, has brought a goodly number of big game hunters into the wilds of Maine, for 1t is expected that a five year closed season will be put on the moose next season.

 AID TEACHER EFFlciENcN


 GOSHEN. N. Yg Nov. 12.-In deliv- erlng an address to 245 public school teachers attending the Teachers com ference, that was held in the High school building here, Mrs. B. g. Har. rlman, widow of the late railroad wiz ard. said that her interest in educa- ton came from the fact that she was the mother Of six children, and could readily understand the problems that daily confront the teacher.
 She wished it were possible for all country school teachers to have the special training necessary to meet the peculiar problems found In their re- specHve schools. She wanted the teachers to know that she was not only ready and willing, but anxious to help them fl she could do 80, and hoped that they would feel free to come to her. She did not mean to outline the course Of study outlined by her state, but she felt that uniform course could not it all children in ell communities. and she felt that the work of the individual teacher was largely along the line of studying the needs Of her own school and meeting those needs.
 fla child showed aptitude along any special line, be it mechanical or nut sical or any other she would offer opportunities in those lines for the fullest development of the child's abit ity

nsomen snIral ThroMer.

In throwing spirals, Mike Roland, of Princeton thinks nothing of mak- ing Q 60-yard toss in practice. Cut Ter. Harvard, 1908, was the first grld- iron warrior to achieve the perfect spiral. Potter. also of Harvard, was another good man, but spraokling, of Brown, has never been eQnalled in Che East. Eloyens ambitions for sue cess with the forward pass would do well to study the way in which Sprack- ling and Ashbaugh used to work it.
 The art of catching a thrown ball in the arms began to pass with the development of tossing spirals. As the ball is now thrown it spins rapid ly upon its long axis, and iB best caught in the hands, as a basketball Is caught This is the surest way. Tn attempting to catch it, in the arms, the hard, spinning ball strikes the chest or the stomach, sometimes with vicious force and in any event ig lla- ! ble to bound out from tho fingers, and thus IS missed. In 1906 when the forward pass was first taken no, the old end-oyer-end method of pass ing was in vogue, and the ball, thus tumbiing, was only to be caught in the arms. as are most of the punta today
 Not every player, even today. can throw the swift, straight spirais, there is Q knack about t. Beginners achieve 1t by pressing their fingers against the lacing as the ball lies on the palm of the hand, as the pigskin is thrown the spin is thus imported by the dng CTS. Good forward-passers attain the spin without having to bother whetber the fingers are placed. It's a beautt fui sight as the ball comes along spin ming sidewise, speeding towards ones arms Ike Q small Zeppelin.

Many ca5eo of Broken Boneo.
 pr. Burns continued that many cases of broken bones had been reported.
 Here too" ahe said. "the chief suf- ferers are those past their first youth The bones of these persons are of an increasing britteness break with com paratlye case and do not knit togeth. CT readily. Even where no bones are broken during the actual dancing. the strain on the dancer is such chat all the joints and bone connections are weakened and thus rendered liable to injury at the slightest accident.
 Hours spent in the average dane ing room have bad effect on the lungs and general physical conditions of both old and young. The heat, the dust. the lack of ventilation, tho ex- citement. are a severe strain on the health. The modern dances are re- sponsible for having subjected an un- precedentedly large number Of per sons to this drain"

 Dr. Burns also believes that the debunante slouch, with It's abnormal contoraon of the body ia 9 menace to the health and strength of the young girl.
 "These are not mere theories" she ended soberly. 'I have seen patients suffering from all the troubles ] men ton, where the trail led directly to an overindulged passion for dancing' and doctors tell me that this condi- ton at this place is even worse than where ] live.

WONAN'S HAIR
REACHES TO KNEES
ear Ago Was Threatened with
Badness. Tells How She Made

Her Hair Grew.
Mrs. Esther Emery, now visiting
friends In the city, is the fortunate
possesSor of marvelously beautiful hair,
which, when loosened from its coils,
falls to her knees. Moreover it is of
soft, silky and fluffy texture and in col
or a glorious glossy gold. Yet just
one year ago she was threatened with
badness. Urged to tell how she had
obtained this wonderful growth in so
short a time, she said. Had anyone
told me such marvellous results could
be accomplished so quickly, L positively
would not have believed it. Twelve
months 6 my hair, which then reach
ed barely to my shoulders, was falling
out at an alarming rate and growing
very thin, actually exposing the bald
scalp in several spots. 1t was dull and
~lifeless in color, turning grey in patch
es, and very dry and brittle. My head
was covered with dandruff and itched
like mad all the time. / tried fully a
dozen different hair tonics. but they
were all the same and never did MI a
bit of good. One day l CHANGED to read
in my home paper of a simple home
prescription to make the hair grow
that was recommended by a we'll
known physician. 1t said that by TAX
ing ordinary Lavona de Compose ana
mixing with Bay Rum and Mcnthol
Crystals and applying to the scalp
each night with the finger tips, that
new hair would grow very rapidly. /
decided to try 1t and 1 had my druggist
mix z OF. OF the LaVona dc compose
with 6 OF. of Bay Rum and IL
drachm OF Menthol Crystals. and start
ed to use it. My, how quickly my hair
did grow. First the hair stopped fall
ing, the itching ceased and the dan
druff disappeared. Then tiny little
hairs appeared all over my scalp. These
grew and grew as though nothing
would ever stop them. They are grow
ing yet, and while, of course, I have
used the treatment steadily n OK
pcCt to continue IL. at least until my
hair reaches the floor, I might have
stopped and been perfectly satisfied at
the end OF three months. / think that
any woman can get long, thick, beauti-
have recommended it to several friends
and all are delighted with the result.
The prescription is very inexpensive
and any druggist can FIJI 1t. -AdVt.
