LONDON. Nov 29.-rhere is imminent

according to a report received today by
Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the Amer
lean Relief commission. from a special
commissioner doing relief work In
Maastricht, Holland
The commissioner cites a statement made
by a refugee, which was confirmed by
others. in which a Belgian says:
I'm Berchem 1.-TWO miles southeast of
Antwerp and the neighboring villages
there has been for some time no food
available except what was got through
the commission. At Berchem the Ger
mans stored the food which they seized
at Antwerp and which they stated was
being sent to Brussels. Consequently the
people while starving see quantities of
food within reach. Meetings are being
held nightly where the chances of success
in attacking the German, garrison and
taking possession of the food are seriously
discussed
In the suburbs. the commissioner re-
port says. refugees declared there was
virtually a food famine. The inhabitants
were dependent solely upon the commits
sion's distribution and when the supply
temporarily became exhausted privation
at once ensued
The conditions at Louvain, refugees
state. are still worse. The people are
actually starving and are living in ruins.

ARE YOUR KIDNEYS
OVERWORKED?
How They Fight
Uric Acid

II you eat. meat, then you have uric
acid in your blood. And uric acid is the
chief cause of weak kidneys. The kidneys
do their utmost to free the blood Of irri-
tating uric acid, but it is a losing fight
for them. They become weak from the
overwork. They get sluggish; the elimi-
native tissues clog and tnus the work of
filtering the blood is performed very
poorly and the waste is retained to poison
the entire system.
When your kidneys throb with a dull
ache, when they feel like Jumps of lead,
when you have severe headaches. nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness. tired feel
ing, consultation and bladder disorders,
YOU can make up your mind that these
troubles come from weak, sluggish kid
neys.
Hou can help the weakened kidneys and
put them in good working order again by
asking your druggist for about five
ounces of Rheumasalts. Take two tea
spoonfus in a glass of water before
breakfast for few mornings and the
result will surprise you.
Rheumasalts act quickly without grip
ing or nausea. 1t is delicious to take. 1t
Is "a uric acid solvent as we'll as a saline
axative-delightfully effervescent
These famous salts are very inexpen-
sive. Every one can profitably take lit
tie Rheumasalts occasionally to keep the
kidneys clean, working and efficient.
Rheumasalts is prepared by the famous

Correspondence OF the Associated Press. J
osTEND, Belgium. Nov. 2.-The nor
NAL life Of this usually lively city has
been radically changed by the German
military occupations. Inhabitants are for
hidden to leave their houses between in
the evening and in the morning and no
lights may be shown during that time.
No one can leave the town without pass
ports from the German authorities.
The usual market gatherings are almost
suspended. Villages from outside ostend
can come in only when attended by their
burgomasters and the market hours are
limited TO Monday and Thursday morn
ings All horses have been taken by the
military authorities, so only dog carts
can be used to bring food into the town.
Butter, eggs. meat and vegetables are
cheap, but Ostend is without fish be-
cause all fishermen have fled to England
Fishing would be impossible because all
civilians are forbidden to approach the
coast and the Inhabitants Of houses along
the seashore have been expelled.
Military Using Trans.
The railways and electric trans have
been stopped for everything except milf
tary purposes and are being used night
and day for sending provisions to the
front and bringing back wounded. Little
is left OF what formerly were westende,
Dixmude. Schoore. Kamskeppelem, St
Picters. Capelle and Menneksvere, and
over 100 farms in the neighborhood have
been destroyed.
Hundreds of wounded Belgians and
French are brought to Ostend and those
who can stand the journey are sent along
to Germany A dozen or more Germans.
dead from their wounds. are buried here
every day. The wounded allies are well
cared for by the Germans.
ostend is without newspapers soap, oil,
candles and coffee. The Germans have
made heavy acquisitions not not only OF
foodstuffs in large quantities. but Of
cigars and wines and all available mat
tresses and covers as well as clothing,
linen, wire and bicycles. For the prop
erty taken the Germans have given reaui-
sition notes amounting to S1,OOO,OOO. The
hotels are occupied by German officers,
who live on the best of everything. Ger
man bands play in the parks every day,
but have only the Germans as audiences,
because the Beigians who are left, boy
colt them.

rector of this institute testifies: "All re-
ports are most encouraging. Some of
the details OF their instructions may be
open to question. II is probably bad that
they should be taught to bring in the
caps and handkerchiefs of wounded
soldiers, but our dogs of war are per-
forming noteworthy service, and it is a
pity that we have not many more of
them"
The leader of one section Of the am
bulance dogs says: 1.-THE best dog given
to me at first pulled so hard on the leash
that he tired me out; he would not AL
ways return on the first call, a trick that
would be unfortunate under fire; he was
terrified even by distant artillery and IL
appeared as If he would be useless in
action. But in a week that dog was
valuable beyond words. have today re-
turned with him from recovering
wounded soldiers almost in the enemy's

him. Tonight just before the ambuIances
