OR
STARVATION
the Supply and All of
Belgium Would
Perish
THREE MILLION
GET ONE MEAL A DAY
The Menu Consists Only of
Bread and a Pint
of Soup

London, Feb. 29.-"There would be
wholesale starvation within three or -four
weeks if the importation OF food into
Belgium were stopped.
I'm northern France the percentage OF
INDECENT people is even greater than that
in Belgium, because there are virtually
no native supplies.
! The clothing situation in Belgium and
northern France demands very serious
consideration. Unless the work of pro-
| viding clothing is kept up at regular
rate there will be very serious suffering
in the fall"
The foregoing conclusions are those of
Frederick G. Wolcott, who spent three
weeks in Belgium and northern France
investigating for the Rockefeller Foun-
dstion the work of the relief commission
Of which Herbert G. Hoover is the head.
MFR. Wolcott in his report says he is
greatly impressed by the efficiency of the
relief work and he recommends that
money intended for Belgium or France be
entrusted to the commission. Mr.. VOL
colt said to the Associated Press:
"1f any who cavil at the sending of
relief supplies into Belgium could only
visit Belgium and see personally the
plight of the suffering people they would
come back as eager for the continuance
Of the work as / am"
OF the 100000 inhabitants in Bel
GUM, Mr.. IFolcott said, 100000 are
virtually destitute and drawing daily
one meal consisting of the equivalent of
three thick slices Of bread and pint of
soup. He added
"Depots for the distribution are only
large enough to accommodate between
80 and 50 people, so long queue of
hungry extends into the street for a
block or more. Most of those who wait
are so poor that they have no protection
in the shape Of an umbrella or a thick
coat against the discomfort OF stormy
days.
Il have seen thousands of people lined
up in snow or rain, soaked and chilly, |
waiting for bread and soup. | have re-
turned to the distributing stations at the
end of the day and have found men,
women and children sometimes still
in line but later compelled to |
go back to their pitiful homes cold, wet |
and miserable 1t was not until Is |
weary hours afterward that they got the /
meal they missed"

Disinfect Your Pets.

Many children and adults acquire
skin diseases from the household pets.
Such diseases as ringworm and bar
ber's itch are transmitted by the cats
and dogs. An epidemic may be start
ed by germs being carried into the
home. Every member Of the household
may develop disease acquired from
carelessly petting a stray cat or dog
on the street. Dogs are fond of filth.
They delight In groveling in heaps of
manure or refuse of any kind and for
this reason should be regarded with
suspicion.
The stray pets should be treated to
an antiseptic bath before being fon-
died. Your own pet dog after run
out OF doors should have a disinfectant
bath before it is again permitted to
sleep on the lounge or sit upon your
ap.-Philadelphia Record.

PURE BLOOD MAKES
HEALTHY PEOPLE

Hoods Sarsaparilla surely and effec'
lively removes scrofula, boils and other
blood diseases, because il drives out of
the blood all the humors that cause these
diseases. They cannot be successfully
treated in any other way. External APP
plications for their removal have proven
almost useless, because they cannot drive
out the impurities that are in the blood
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure, rich
blood, perfects the digestion, and builds
up the whole system. The skin becomes
smooth, clean and healthy. This great
blood remedy has stood the test of forty
years. Insist on having Hoods, for moth.

Artistic Results.


In going over ones pictures elimi.

pictures whose subjects are somewhat
related or which have similarity In
frames Indeed, even when subjects
are closely related 1t is not possible al.
ways TO hang pictures together owing
TO too great difference In the kind Of
frames. AS rule, any room looks
better. especially small rooms. where
only one color frame Is used on all pic
lures, but II this is not possible then
the next best thing Is 10 keep all of
the pictures in gilt frames In one part
OF the room. all of the dark framed
pictures on another wall, etc.
Also one can get the best results by
separating water colors and prints,
and etchings or engravings should, of
course. always be hung apart from
other pictures. Another point frequent
ly overlooked is the wisdom of putting
the darker pictures on the wall that
receives the best light from windows
and contrariwise the gilt framed pic.
lures of lighter subjects where they
may serve TO brighten dark part OF
the room.
Finally do not crowd the walls. Hang
pictures well In line with the eyes Of
person of average height and, of course.
choose plain walls, tinted or papered.

KEEP SCHOOL AND
CHURCH SEPARATE
Cincinnati Clergyman Says Educational
Progress Due to Ecclesiasties'
Punishment.

Chicago, Feb. 29.-Separation of school
and church should be adhered to at all
costs, DR.. +. S. Lewis of Cincinnati. a
Methodist clergyman, told representa-
tives of various faiths here yesterday at
the opening of the 18th annual conven-
ton of the religious education assoca-
ton. DR.. Lewis said the unpar-
alleled education principles in this coun-
try have been due to the success with
which we have banished ecclesastics
from our public schools and politicians
from our Sunday schools.

movement for co-relating religious edu.
cation with public instruction" prepared
by Dir. George A. Coe, professor Of re-
ligious education in Union Theological
seminary, New York, opposing the move
ment, was read by the secretary.

MORE RAIDERS
IN ATLANTIC
Got Away as Neutral Ships,
Is Charge Now
Made
ARE WAITING FOR
MUNITION SHIPS
British Cruiser Patrol Is In
creased to Meet the
Peril

Providence. r. l., Feb. 29.-That mer
r. chant vessels sailing from South Amer
lean ports under neutral flags have been
transformed at sea into commerce raid
ers is the charge made in yesterday
Providence Journal, which says:
"The government is in possession of
evidence which shows that at least three
merchant vessels which have left South
American ports in the last three months
under neutral flags, have been trans
formed into German sea raiders on the
Atlantic.
"This knowledge has been coupled also
with the strong belief that efforts are
being made continuously to move vessels
from American ports under false mani
tests to be used for the same purpose
In this connection orders have been is
sued to government officers at all United
States ports within the last few days to
maintain the closest possible scrutiny of
every vessel sailing from America under
neutral flag.
"There is reason to believe that at
least one ship of this type has already
got away successfully from New Orleans,
at is known that four weeks ago one
merchant ship left an Argentine port
ostensibly under the Swedish flag. and
that one other vessel left Rio over three
weeks ago, also flying the Swedish flag.
Both Of these ships are in reality German
commerce raiders.
Zone vessel, which is supposed to have
left Rio seven weeks ago. was self
interned German freight carrier, which
sailed away practically in ballast, alleg-
ing as its destination an American port.
This vessel has not yet been heard of.
1T is believed that the British au-
are keenly alert to this situa
ton, and that they have recently largely
increased their cruiser strength in both
the north and south Atlantic on the look
out for these escaped vessels.
within the next few weeks the heav
lest munition shipments that have yet
been sent out from this country are
scheduled to leave for Europe. The Jour |
nal is informed on very high authority |
that at least four of these commerce
raiders are now on the Atlantic, and that |
their intention is to sink ships of the |
allies without warning and without any |
attempt to save the passengers or crews. |
1T is said to be the purpose of the ma
val officers commanding these commerce /
raiders to overhaul and sink all mer
chantmen and then to sail on, leaving
the fate of such vessels to be guessed
only when they have become long over
iue in English, French or Italian ports"
