FOOD IS SENT TO
STARVING PEOPLE
AMERICAN AND SPANISH DIPLO.
MATlc REPRESENTATIVES,
AID THE BELGIANS.

London, Oct. 21.-The first consign-
ment OF food supplies for the relief of
the people of Brussels is today on the
London docks ready for shipment to
Rotterdam.
w. H. Page, American ambassador,
has consigned this food direct to
Brand Whitlock, American minister in
the Belgian capital. Each box and bag
is distinctly marked with its purpose
and destination, in accordance with
the request of the German government
made at the time it granted permits
sion to send the supplies to Brussels.
The American and Spanish minis
tiers at Brussels are the patrons of
the plan to revictual that city which
probably will be extended to the send
ing of supplies to other Belgian cities
where food is lacking.
Ernest Solvay of Brussels, is the
chairman of this food committee,
which is now taking on a national
scope because of the great needs Of
Malines, Louvain, Liege and other
Belgian cities. Four million francs
(SS00,O00) were subscribed in one day
in Brussels, but outside help is neces-
sary to prevent starvation among the
Belgian people. The committee doubt
less will open headquarters in Lon
don and make direct shipments to
isolated Belgian cities and towns. Such
organization and relief is necessary to
prevent a further exodus of Belgians
to Holland, France and England.

door. A minute later I heard crash

me revolver, black revolver, that

an for? I hope God will forgive me.
You stick to me and if any thing hap

ing at the breakfast table and she

REAL WONDER WORKER
FOR WRINkLED FACES

Those who have tried all sorts of So
called ''wrinkle-removers' in vain
effort to lose those unwelcome traces of
age, illness or worry, can scarcely find
words to express their delight with the
wonderful saxolite formula, once they
have given 1t a trial. The success of this
method is due not alone to it's marvellous
effectiveness-upon the deepest lines and
crowsfeet as we'll as upon the very fine
ones-but also to its surprisingly quick
action and its entire harmlessness. Its
simplicity and it's Responsiveness are
other commendable features, for one
needs only dissolve an ounce of pow
dered saxolite in a half pint witch hazel,
and battle the face in this solution. At
once a remarkable transformation is be-
held.
1t is not only the effect on wrinkles and
creases that is SO noticeable, but facial
contour is remarkably improved and the
face looks much younger. One should be
sure to ask the druggist for the pow
dered saxolite. The lotion, being so re-
freshing, is particularly grateful to tired
faces these warm, depressing days-Adv.
