Great BRITAIN
HAS NOT SHUT OFF
POLAND RELIEF
Allied Governments Have Said
They Could Not Permit Food
Reaching Poland under Neu-
trail Control

London. Feb. 17.-Great Britain has
not refused to allow food to reach Po-
land, according to statement made by
Sir Edward Grey. the British foreign
secretary in reply to question in the
House of Commons today.
The foreign minister added that the
Entente allied governments had been
approached with request to permit
food to be sent to Poland under neu-
trail control but that the allies had re-
piled they could not consider the ques-
ton until the various methods Of
spoliation' adopted by the Central Pow
erS had ceased. To do otherwise, he
said. would be merely to supply food
to the Germans.
Under the guise of a question to
Sir Edward Grey. Laurence Ginnell,
Nationalist member of Parliament for
the North division of Westmeath, made
the allegation that pressure had been
used by the Entente allies to dissuade
the Belgian government from accept
ing from Germany an offer to re-estab-
lish the integrity Of Belgium, to restore
her independence and fully compen-
safe her for damage sustained.
This brought a blunt answer from
the foreign secretary who said:
"The statement made in the question
is entirely untrue"
Sir Edward added that he believed
the statement of an offer being made to
Belgium was also untrue.

NEW CAMP A|CN
FOR men FROM
NEWFOUNDLAND

st. Johns, N. F.. Feb. H.-Machinery
for a campaign to double Newfoundland g
complement in active war service was in
readiness tonight. So far there have been
1900 naval reservists and 1000 soldiers en-
listed from this colony and the new re-
cruiting campaign plans to add to this
number from every available nook in the
colony.
Owing to the difference in pay between
the naval and the military branches of
the service, more difficulty is anticipated
on the doubling the number of naval re-
serves than soldiers. notwithstanding that
this is essentially maritime community.
The bluejackets are controlled directly
by the British naval authorities and re-
ceive the regular pay of 60 cents day.
The soldiers. on the other hand. are mann
tanned by the colony itself and are paid
$1.10 a day like the Canadian troops.

Comery, sentenced to be hanged at the
state prison here early tomorrow,
pleaded guilty to the charge Of wife
murder. Mrs. Comery died at her home
in Manchester on Nov. 10, 1914. The

ton.
During the next month, however, the
authorities learned from a clergy
man in whom Mrs. Comery had con-
fided and who conducted her funeral,
that there were suspicious circum-
stances attending her illness. The body
was exhumed and analysis of the
stomach by state chemists showed
that the woman had died from poison

Thousands of people suffer from ex-

vertised flesh makers, food fads,
physical culture stunts and rub-on
creams, resign themselves to life LONG
skinniness and think nothing will
make them fat. Yet their case is not
hopeless. A recently discovered COM
bination of assimilative agents has
made fat grow after years Of thin
ness, and it is also unequalled. iudg-
ing from reports, for repairing the
waste of sickness or faulty digestion
and for Strengthening the nerves.
This remarkable preparation is called
Sargol Six strength giving, fat-pro-
ducing assimilative elements of &C
knowledged merit have been combined
in this preparation, which is endorsed
and used by prominent people every
where. 1t is absolutely harmless, in

A few weeks systematic use Of Sar-
gol should go far to produce flesh and
strength by correcting faults Of di-
gestion and by supplying nourishing
fats to the blood. If not, every drug
gist who sells it is authorized to re-
turn the> purchase price. Increased
nourishment is obtained from the food
eaten. and the additional fats that
thin people need are thus provided.
