Into the crash and horrors and
alarms and devastation of war
Into homelessness-
Into winter and famine
10000 Belgian babies cry for milk
cry and suffer.
For many of them there is no milk
nc suitable food. And shortly there
will not be for any of them unless help
is given now.
Think of them! - see their little
faces!
And the Mothers!
How terribly changed life's outlook
since, those few months ago, in the
homes of that then prosperous, indus
trious land, they looked forward with
maternal hope and confidence and love.
The Mothers still hope.
They struggle and endure, but the
fight is very hard. They are sadly worn
in body and mind-utterly destitute.
They have been having only the barest
living ration, if that; only little food
doled out daily through the bread-lines
For this, however, they have been
very grateful, because they want to live
~ IN''' ''l'S 'Ou IOf llIIle DelSlulll
Even the frightful trials of war have
not killed their hope that they again
will see the fathers, sons, and brothers
who were swept away by the hurricane
Of conflict, and that through the sacri-
fees de they will have their country
once more for their very own.
In continued American generosity is
their only hope of living. 1t has done
much. 1t has enabled this Fund to pro-
vide to date more than a million and
half dollars worth of food.

SURROGATES CLASH ON RULES.
CohaIan Ignores FOwIcr's Court In

A lack OF harmony between Surrogates
Robert Ludlow Fowler ana John H. Co
ha!an was indicated yesterday when Sur

In the LdlU Journal a set Of rules applca-
bic only To his court, and IN accordance
with the Surrogates Court law effective
last September. They DO not apply 20

thai the latter's court is the only one
In the state for which rules have not
been drawn up. That this condition IL
likely TO result In confusion for the 10000
attorneys practising in both courts was
predicted yesterday.
II was learned that Surrogate Cohalan
ANNOUNCED his own rules after Surrogate
Fowler had refused to confer with him
concerning them and had maintained that
the rules for both courts should be laid

REVOLT IN THE HOUSE
AGAINST THE TARIFF
Whitacre Of Ohio Leads Insur-
gent Movement for a Scien-
tific Inquiry.
THE REPUBLICANS APPLAUD

SAsHINGloN. Jan. % Representative
Yhitacre Of Ohio. Democrat. startled his
party colleagues in the House to-day by
making a speech In which he denounced
the Democratic tariff. declaring that 1t
was Incumbent upon the authors OF the
measure to prove that 1t had not in
jured business
Mr. whitacre Endorsed tho bill offered
by Representative Mann, providing for
the creation of tariff board to make
scientific inquiry into the subject. The
Ohio member complained that he had
sought opportunity TO appear before the
Ways and Means Committee ito protest
against the inequalities of the tariff" but
that his request Tor such a hearing had
been ignored.
The only item in the tariff hill which
the Democrats can claim has not proved
injurious to business is that relating to
clay products" said W.. Whitacre. AN

East Liverpool rot:eries in ohio were
not injured by the reduction. but | can

and demonstrate that other Industries

the Democratic case to idle workingmen
THE only reason I can defend the pot.
terry schedule is that the books OF the East
Liverpool manufacturers were thrown open
and our potters conceded that they were
not hurt.
However. other Industries In my state
have been injured. II we could pass a bill
creating tariff board. as SIR. Mann has
proposed, we could make an impartial in
vestigation of every item ana g!'e Ameri-
can manufacturers "A square deal
Gets Republican Applause.
This sentiment was applauded by the
Republicans.

wise the tarifr without injury to business"
resumed Mr.. Whitacre. at was self
Imposed promise and II should he kept.
II manufacturer can show that they have
been injured, II Is incumbent upon the
Democratic party to make rtparltion.
The general business depression shows
that industry has been injured and the
Democratic party to-day cannot prove that
the tsrif worked no inJury--eXccpt In the
single case OF pottery. This is the only
item | can confidently defend"
Mr.. Whi;acre expressed the belief that
the tarin was not entirely responsible
for the business depression. but he said

ment 10 men with empty dinner pals.

BORN AMID RUINS

But it must do much more unless, as
has been said, "our good beginnings
will but drag out hopeless agony and
might better never have been made.
The truth is that America has engaged
in tremendous task, nothing less than
the rescue from extinction of that rem
nant of the Belgian people still on
their own soil"
A crisis impends.
The known available food supplies
for Belgian relief, including all car
goes in transit, cannot maintain the
bread-lines beyond February 18th.
The utterly destitute to-day number
100000.
Money for more food must be pro-
vided at once unless we are prepared
to contemplate appalling conditions OF
illness and loss Of life.
At least a cargo of food should go
forward from America every week for
the rest of the winter season. Part OF
it must be food suitable for the 10000
Belgian wartime babies.
For the Belgian wartime babies and
their brave, helpless mothers, we espe-
ciallv appeal at this time. Certainly
there never was call more heart
searching.
Send $4,000 if you can. If not,
send $1,000, 500, or $50, or So, or 81,
or even 10 cents. But send something
now-all you possibly can.
Your contribution will be converted
into milk for rush shipment to Belgium.
"Do it now" never meant more. 1t is,
literally, a case of life or death.

Make Mine a Matted MIX"

One hundred and ferty-one thous-
and two hundred times a year this or
der is repeated by the students of
the University of Wisconsin to Mad
ison dealers, says the Madison Daily
Cardinal
These figures are not the result of
guesswork, but are based On careful
~ compiled reports submitted by
dealers in the University district
Some idea of the vastness of the
consumption of Horlicks Matted
Milk by the students of this one univ
ersity alone may be gained when it
is considered the straws used i'll sery
ing would, if placed end to end, form
a line thirteen miles long, while the
total amount of Matted Milk would
fill reservoir of thirteen thousand
gallons.
The investigation also developed
the fact that the students do NOT or
der Matted Milk merely as delicacy
or thirst quencher, but because
they have discovered that it is highly
nourishing and sustaining qualities
enable them to make satisfying
lunch on a glass of Horlick's"
The total amount annually expend-
ed by the students in this manner is
$14,120 and it is estimated that the
saving through the resultant econ
omy on restaurant checks represents
at least an equal amount, or enough
to pay all the expenses for fifty stud
ents for one year at the University,

Foley Carthartic Tablets are not as

women. Women suffer as much as
men do from indigestion and consti-

scientific remedy to keep the stom-
ach sweet, the liver active and the
bowels regular. Foley Cathartic Tab

that, balanced with alfalfa, silage is
