A special committed has been named to take care of the emergency cases, as since the headquarters have been opened. many cases of distress have been reported that called for i'm :. mediate relief, many of them from farp- flies that have never made a call forl assistance before. In numbers of these| cases. actual suffering from cold anal hunger have been found s.ss,fs
 Mrs. J. B. Reid, chairman of the com mittee, states that they want to reach| all the cases that are deserving anal states that they want the people who| are in need to let their wants be known We want them not to feel that we are merely dispensing charity, but that we are their friends" she said.

London, January ls-Heavy snow falls in France and Flanders have con- fined the fighting almost entirely to artillery engagements. There has been one exception however, southwest of verdun. near Pont- Mousson, where the French are reported to have ap- preached few hundred yards nearer the frontier.
 Military men attach considerable impor- tance to operations In this region, for, they say, in conjunction with the con- tinued French pressure on the German lines west of the fortress of Perthes, they will check, if successful, German opera tions against Verdun, around which they have a half circle drawn since they in vaded France.
 Of the progress of the battles in East Prussia and Poland the official reports give less information than usual. Lo- euacity seems to be avoided when q bis new movement is commencing, such as that the Russians are carryng out be- tween the East Prussian border and the lower vistula. In this operation. as far as can be judged, from the scant details

 Cross the Vistula
 Some Petrograd newspaper correspond ents credit the Russians with crossing the vistula south and east of Flock If beu have a large force and probably are in position to threaten the German left flank, which has been trying for weeks to force its way to Warsaw.
 In some London quarters there is tendency to believe the Germans soon will retire to their own frontier in the fear that a winter spent on their present line, the communications with which are de- clared to be bad, would iesult in heavy loss of men.
 Russian troops which crossed the Car pathians are reported to have effected junction and when the plans for an ad- vance into Pennsylvania are complete an attempt will be made it is said, to Invade Hungary from the north and east

FREAKS IN VEGETATION
Some of the Curious Things Ma
ture Does In Double
GrOwthS

Nature does some strange
things in the formation of vege-
tables, nuts and different kinds
of fruits. 1t is quite common
to find two or more growing to-
gether, and naturalists frequent
ly run across some very curious
freaks.
Double ears of corn are quite
common. They grow side by side
and are sometimes of equal size,
but usually one has a little bet
ter chance to grow and gets the
olvantage over the other.
A double ear on exhibition in
one of the western states was
certainly a curiosity. One side
was one variety of corn, while
the other side was so different
that it was hard to believe the
two had grown so close together.
Double heads of wheat are
quite common, but double grains
are scarce. Grains of rye, how
ever, are often double, and the
same is true of rice.
Onions, radishes, beets, car
rots, turnips, cabbages and 9TH
er vegetables are often found in
double form.
The prettiest specimens of
double peaches are those with
two seeds, as they are more dis
tinctly double, being joined at
point about halfway from the
stem of the blossom ends.
Double plums are quite COM
mon, and certain varieties pro-
duce very perfect specimens.
Usually they have a double seed,
but once in awhile there will be
two seeds. Three plums have
been found all in one, but u.s.
ually these have but two parts
to the seed.
Double apples and pears are
not so abundant as other fruits,
but some very remarkable speci-
mems have been found. They are
more common in southern states
than in the northern.
Double nuts often grow on
the walnut, chestnut, and hick-
Dry trees but these are more
frequently double on the outer
covering, with an i'll shaped in
terror and kernels that are de-
formed.
Double cocoanuts are deemed
a wonderful curiosity among the
natives of the lands where they
grow. They are highly priced
as charms against disease and
other calamities, and are kept
for centuries by some tribes.
The best explanation of such
freaks is that they are due to
the peculiar manner in which
the fertilizing pollen is caught
and retained. The position of
the fruit or nut may have some
effect on its growth in double
form, and in the case of vege-
tables this factor is doubtless
responsible for a large percent
