Uncrowned Queens.

There have been seven uncrowned
queens of England The first was
Margaret of France. the second wife
of Edward |. Money was scarce in
the government Golfers at the time
and Edward could not afford the ex-
pense of coronation. The four later
wives of Henry WILL. Anne Boleyn's
successors-Jane Seymour. Anne of
Cleves. Catherine Howard and Cath
crime Parr-were never publicly crown
ed as queen consorts. Perhaps it was
because Henry thought it would cause
ridicule to have coronations occur as
frequently as his marriages. Henriet-
ia Maria. the wife of Charles l., being
a strict Catholic, refused to take part
in a state function which would COM
pei her to partake of the Sacrament.
according TO the rites OF the Church OF
England. Sophia Dorothea. the wife
of George l. and mother of George H..
was never recognized as queen of Eng
land and therefore cannot be classed
as one of Britain's uncrowned queens.

THE BELGIAN BABIES

In answer to tho appeal for aid
Belgian babies that are dying for the
want Of milk, countrywide move
ment has been started by the younger
mothers to collect matted milk or
money to send them. A group Of
young matrons in Laurens have band
ed together as committee to solicit
subscriptions and they will be glad
ITO receive contributions either Of
money or matted milk. Mrs. w. G..
Lancaster, Academy street, and Mrs.
Carlos r. Moseley, North Harper
street, have consented to receive con-
tributions and will forward everything
sent them.
That the amount Of suffering in Bel
gium can hardly be exaggerated can
be judged by a description Of condi-
tions there by Irwin S. Cobb and pub
lished in The Advertiser, at the request
Of the baby relief committee here. In
this article he writes in part as fol-
lows:
could multiply instances from the
observation Of others. There was,
for example, the group Of 200 refu-
gees who arrived in Holland early in
November. They carried with them
four dead, new born babies
1t was the same story which one
hears everywhere. The mothers were
so reduced by privation that they had
no milk Of their own. AS for cows
milk, it was not to be had for any
money.
Add another picture, brought out
by an American from Belgium. He
stood one morning by the back door
Of German cook camp, watching a
group Of Belgian women grubbing
through the trash heap piled up be-
hind the camp. All these women car
ried babies.
What are they doing?" he asked
German sergeant with whom he
~had struck up acquaintance.
"Scraping our condensed milk
calf," said the sergeant. "Its the
only way to getemilk for their babies.
I've seen them run their fingers
round can which looked as bright
as new coin, and hold them into the
babies mouths to suck. My company"
he added, "has been getting along
without milk in It's coffee and giving it

to these women. We've received no
orders to the contrary--and we're
mostly family men. But we're an ex-
ception; and 1t doesn't go very far
Here is another recent picture from
stricken Brussels. that gay, dainty,
lively city in old times the city
whose smiling people called it petit
Paris. The scene is the once busy,
pleasant boulevard Dischofsheim. A
woman collapSes on a bench set along
the sidewalks after the fashion of the
Greater Paris. In her arms Is baby.
A child staggers along, clinging to her
apron. The woman's face Is blue and
yellow; she IS on the verge of col
lapse. The baby, surely not over five
months old, has a pale, lead-colored
skin. It's mouth Is open as though
set that way. It's eyes are closed.
Two women Of Brussels pass this
unhappy group. They hurricdly cx-
change some words, turn back to the
woman On the bench. Then one tsands
guard while the other hastens for some
milk and bread-such as is to be
found In the Brussels Of today. They
force a little milk between the teeth
Of the mother. They let the baby
drink. Unweaned though it is, it
drinks as though 1t had never drunk
otherwise.
To the face Of the mother comes a
few patches Of color. She slowly re-
covers until she Is able to eat bit
Of bread. The baby opens it's mouth,
drinks more greedily. ct has not fed
since two days." the mother whispers
The mother tries to rise from tho
bench but she can not. The elder
child drinks the milk that Is left. 1t
locks curiously at tho piece Of bread
as If it did not know what it was. The
mother forces 1t to eat. A crowd has
gathered, murmuring. This sight is
not new, yet each time it draws a
little crowd. Every one would like to
glve-but no one can. Who is not
poor at this moment? Many Of them
have children at home who today
weigh less than the day they were
born.
France and England and Germany
and Austria are issuing their lists Of
the dead, which are mounting up day
by day to CHASTITY million. But these
take account only Of the strong young
men, who have died In the fighting.

use of alcholic beverages, or occas-
the individual. In my judgment. ii
has also been proven beyond pcrad-
venture of doubt that total abstain
cncc from alcohol is Of value TO
humanity; it is certain that abstain
crs live longer than persons who use
alcoholic beverages. Among the mon
who admitted that they had taken al.
cohol occasionally to excess in the
past, but whose habits were consid-
cred satisfactory when they were in
sured, there were $50 deaths while
there would have been only 100 had
this group been made up Of insured
lives in general. The extra mortality
wa:: therefore. over 80 per cent
which was equivalent to a reduction in
the average life of these men of over
four years
One Of, the most significant results
of the investigation, he said was the
high mortality experienced among
railroad men. Among locomotive
engineers the mortality was co per
cent in excess Of that among the in
sured as a whole, which is equivalent
to five years reduction in the aver
age life time.
There is a general impression that
saloon keepers do not live as long as
persons in non hazardous occuDations''
he continued, "but it is now generally
known that most classes which are
connected with either the manufac-
ture or sale of liquors have a high
mortality. Among saloon proprictors
whether they attend the bar or not,
there was an extra mortality Of 40
per cent, the causes Of death indi-
Gated that free use Of alcohol bev-
