GERMAN FOOD NOT SCARCE

Belgium.

London.-A dispatch from Berne
says:
"All Germany's war bread regula-
lions, war cookery schools and other
arrangements are not due to any real
scarcity of food, but are a pretext
to induce charitable Americans to feed
the Belgians and the French to feed
their people in the portion of France
occupied by Germany"
Reports from Vienna say that the
government has taken over all stocks
of rye, barley, maize and -four pro-

Great Activity In Trade.
A walk through the buster streets
show that there is considerable activ-
ity in the city in both Wholesale and
retail trades. There are many large
Offices and stores, the latter exhibiting
splendid stocks of goods behind their
big plate-glass windows. Commerce
and trade are chiefly located on the
water front and in the streets in that
vicinity. The Malecon, n side occu-
pied by large commercial houses and
the other open to the river, though no
wider than other streets in the city,
has room for three street car lines
Zone of them electric) and a double
railroad track without incommoding
the ordinary street traffic. All along
the river side piers are built out over
the green bank, connecting with float
ing landing stages where cargo is
landed from all kinds of small craft,
river steamers, sailing vessels, light
ers, and cayucas, to be transferred to
the railroad for conveyance to the Gus
tomhouse or carried to nearby ware
houses.
The three streets running parallel
to the Malecon are just as full of bust
ness as the water front, and here we
find the largest banks, many CONNER
cial houses, and large stores. These
t%horoughfares for a great part of their
length are of even greater width than
the other streets in the city, compar-
ing very favorably in this respect with
streets in the finest cities of Europe
and the United States. The Gale

Cremation Lone In Use.

The origin of cremation is lost In
the days of unrecorded history. II
was practiced sporadically by the pre-
Christian civilizations. except in those
countries whose religion. jus, as do
some religions today. forbade its prac-
tice. The Parsees were worshipers
of fire. but prohibited cremation be-
cause OF the opinion that the fire was
thus polluted. The Greeks and the
Romans practiced cremation. while
the Egyptians considered it al act Of
paganism and disposed of their dead
by earth burial. The revival of the
practice In Europe in the seventeenth
century was greeted with horror by
the medieval peasants. Kings prohih

For and Against Cremation.

Cremation seems to be becoming
a necessity, especially around the
large centers of population, declare
advocates of the practice. At the
rate at which cemeteries are increas-
ing around such cities as New York
and London. each of which requires
about twenty-four acres of additional
land annually to bury the dead, it has
been predicted that the cities of the
living will be vertically encompassed
by "cities of the dead" Humanity
is reluctant to give up the age-long
practice of inhumation, some anti
cremationists declaring that when
the body is consumed by heat the
soul is at the same time destroyed"
Leeal-minded objecters also point out
that 1T destroys all evidence of crime
where murder by poison has been
committed" In reply the cremation
lists argue that cremation is the only
hygienic. sanitary and economic meth
