: The bread is sold at the low price
of 215 American cents a pound to fami-
lies which apply to the local authori-
ties for bread cards. No restrictions
are placed on the amount of money
earned by a family which desires a
breed card. but only one pound Of
bread is furnished daily for each per
son over 2 years old belonging TO the
family.
The extent of the poverty IN the
towns may be judged from the fact
that many thousands Of families have
applied for bread cards. In Amster-
dam, for example, nearly $4,000 fam
lily bread cards have been issued; in
Rotterdam 10000; in The Hague 90
600 and in Leyden $4,000
Before the war the normal price Of
white bread in Holland was is Dutch
cents Gust over American cents)
per kilogram or little over two Ameri-
can pounds; now it is Is Dutch cents,
or over II American cents.
London.-Since the censorship has
shut down on the publication of the de
tails of the visits of German aircraft
London is full of daily rUmors that
spread all over town. There has been
no general criticism of Withholding the
locality of the raids as it may be help
full to the Germans to hear where their
bombs dropped. But suppression Of
details has had its customary effect
and every day there are stories Of raids
that never happened and of destruc-
ton that never took place. In fair
ness to the censors 1t should be admit
ted that while their facts when pub
hshed are meagre they are regarded as
true though the delay in issuing them
is hopelessly needless from uewspa-
per point of view. In the case OF the
worst raid. happening around mid
night. the facts were not published IN
time for the regular issues Of the aft
ernoon papers OF the following day.
Meanwhile rumors had piled on rum
ors and the man in the street was pre-
pared to hear that hundreds had been
killed.

Kathlyn began her journey at once.
Now that she was on land. moving to
ward her father. all her vigor returned.
She felt strangely alive. eXhilarated
She knew that she was not going to
be afraid of anything hereafter. To
enter the strange country without hav-
ing her purpose known would be the
main difficulty. Where was Ahmed
all this time? Doubtless In a cell like
his master.
Three days later she stood at the
frontier, and her servant set about
arguing and bargaining with the ma
houts to engage elephants for the three
days march through iungles and
mountainous divides to the capital
Three elephants were necessary.
There were two howdah elephants and
one pack elephant, who was always
tagging behind. Through long aisles of
magnificent trees they passed. across
hot, blistering deserts. dotted here and
there by shrubs and stunted trees. in
and out of gloomy deiiles of flinty
rock. over sluggish and swiftly flowing
streams. The days were hot. but the
nights were bitter cold. Sometimes a
blue miasmic haze settled down, and
the dry. raspy hides of the elephants
grew damp and they fretted at their
chains.
Rao, the khitmatgar Kathlyn had
hired in Calcutta, proved invaluable
Without him she would never have
succeeded in entering the strange

her for an anna-piece. Rao was n Ma.

obeyed.
All this the first day and night out
On the following morning a leopard
crossed the trail Kathlyn seized her
rifle and broke its spine. The jabber-
ing of the mahouts would have amused
her at any other time.
Good. memsahib," whispered Rao.
You have put fear into their devils
hearts. Good! Chup!" he called
stop your noise"
After that they gave Kathlyn's dog
tent plenty of room.
One day. in the heart of natural
clearing, she saw tree. Its blossoms
and leaves were as scarlet as the
seeds OF pomegranate.

at my table for five days, and only now
find that you are Hare's daughter!
And you have sister. Ach, yes! He
was always taking out some photo
graphs in the smokeroom and showing
them to us old chaps"
Tears filled Kathlyn's eyes. In an
Indian prison, out of the Jurisdiction
of the British Raj, and with her two
small hands and woman's mind she
must find him! Always the mysterious
packet lay close to her heart, never
for a moment was it beyond the reach
of her hand. Her fathers freedom!
The rusty metal sides of the ship
scraped against the pier and the gang
plank was lowered: and presently the
tourists focked down with variant
emotions. to be besieged by fruit sell
ers, water carriers, cabmen, blind beg
gars. and MANNED, naked little chill
dren with curious, insolent black eyes,
women with infants straddling their
hips. stolid Chinamen: a riot of color
and bewildering babel of tongues.
Kathlyn found a presentable car
riage. and with her luggage pressing
about her feet directed the driver to
the Great Eastern hotel.
Her white sola-topee (sun helmeD
had scracely disappeared in the crowd
when the Hindu of the freight ca
boose emerged from the steerage; no
longer in bedraggled linen trousers
and ragged turban. but dressed like a
native fop. He was in no hurry. Leis-
urely he followed Kathlyn to the hotel.
then proceeded to the railway station.
He had need no longer to watch and
worry. There was nothing left now
but to greet her upon her arrival, this
golden houri from the verses OF
Sa'adi. The two weeks of durance
vile among the low castles in the steer
age should be amply repaid. In six
days he would be beyond the hand of
the meddling British Raj. in his own
country. Sport! What was more
beautiful to watch than cat play? He
was the cat. the tiger cat. And what
would the Sahib Colonel say when he
felt the claws? Beautiful. beautiful.

CRIME INVESTIGATION,

Mr.. Fletcher Dobyns of Chicago

his investigations as attorney for the
city council crime commission have

all crimes are committed by abnormal

of these abnormalties he has found

PRACTICAL SALOON SUBSTITUTE.

The Illinois Steel company started
campaign against drinking among
their employees in their South Chi
cago mills a short time ago. The sa-
loonkeepers. by the way of retaliation.
established elaborate free lunches and
advertised the fact. They posted signs
which told of the bad effects cold
lunches have on digestive organs. Over
the doorways of saloons pictures OF
large steaming bowls of soup were
painted. One sign read: Don't come
in to drink: come in to eat
The steel company came back with
the establishment of a restaurant in
the plant with the following menu:

ALBERTA DRY,

Alberta. Canada. is the first domin-

direct vote of the people. 1t voted dry
July 81 by 10000 majority, the law TO
go into effect July /, 1916. This great
newly white territory comprises 26O.-
900 square miles. an area larger than
the combined states of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho.
A factor OF great influence in the
victory was the Endorsement of the
prohibition measure by the medical
men of Calgary who thus placed them
selves in the front rank of efficient
and up-todatc physicians who are
everywhere declaring the evil effects
of alcoholic beverages.
