BELGIUM NOT IN
A BAD CONDITION
Rev. Charles Lathr0p, Belgium Relief
Committee, Says No War Is Evil
dent To Strangers.
RELIEF WORK is APPRECIATED

Belgium is not as devastated as we
Americans are led to believe" was the
opinion given by the Rev. Charles
Lathop in an address to the members
of the Mems club of St. Paul's Epis-
copal church at the Public library
monday evening.
"The consensus of opinion is that
Belgium was thoroughly destroyed
during the first months Of it's siege.
This is not so. Unlike American
houses all the homes in Belgium are
made of stone there being a scarcity
of forests throughout the country.
Therefore if there is a fire there is no
danger of it spreading
IF one took the actions of the people
for a basis he would not think there
was a war at all After battle the
people return to their ordinary rou-
tine. The only signs there are of war
are the facts that there are German
soldiers and officers in the streets and
here and there one can see the assures
made by cannon balls that have been
cemented over.
CHARITY III belgium Is OIL the nlSHeSC
kind. Everyone pays for what they
get Nothing is given away
THE help of the Belgium Relief
Committee composed of Americans was
so we'll appreciated that last winter
the people held a bazaar and sold pill
low tops that had been made from
grain bags"
The meeting was strictly neutral
for if Rev. Lathrop had spoken in
favor of or against one country he
would never be allowed to leave Bel
GUM if he arrived there again by the
Germans until the war was over.

Lets All Join i'm the Chorus.

Don't stop my paper, printer;
Don't strike my name off yet;
You know the times are stringent
And dollars hard to get;
But tug a little harder
Is what l mean to do,
And scrape enough together
Enough for me and you
l can't afford to drop it,
And | find it doesn't pay
To do without a paper,
However others may;
I hate to ask my neighbors
To give me theirs on loan;
They don't just say. but mean it,
why don't you have your own"
You can't tell how we miss it,
If it by any fate,
Should happen not to reach US,
Or come a little late:
Then all is in a hubbub
And things go all awry;
And, printer, if you're married,
You'll know the reason why
The children want those stories,
And wife is anxious, too,
At first to glance it over
And then to read it through;
And I read the editorials
And scan the local views,
And read the correspondence
And every bit of news

Virtues That Are Vices

criminate sale of morphine and cocaine
and heroin. We should get few stat
utes passed forbidding women hand
ing out sympathy to every passerby,
for it is the real happy dust" that has
made more weaklings and failures than
all the other narcotics in the universe.
Look at the matter squarely, with
out any of the flubdub sentiment and
romance that we have wrapped about
it. Isn't it mothers sympathy-that
sacred mothers sympathy that we have
idiotically gushed over for so many
centuries-that is responsible for prac-
tically all of the men and women who
are cutters and welchers in life?
Mother is so sorry for her darling
little Tommy when he falls down and
bumps his precious nose that Tommy
howls to heaven and establishes the
habit in his cradle of being wilmer.
Mother is so sorry because Tom can't
have an automobile and ten thousand
dollars a year to spend at college that
Tommy gets it into his silly head that
he has been cheated out of his just
dues of life, and becomes a crouch.
Mother is so sorry when Tom is forced
to go to work, and she pities him so
because his job is hard and his boss un-
reasonable, and his pay small, that
Tom gives up his situation and be-
comes a loafer.
Mother pities Sally because she can't
dress like a millionairess and go to
Europe every Summer. Mother pities
Sally if she has to go to work, and if
Sally gets married mother is just one
perfect COB of sympathy, because
Sally's husband expects her to keep
| house and be thrifty and act like rea-
sonable human being.
It's the sympathetic mothers who
are responsible for half of the noac-
count parasitic men and the divorced
women that we see, for if Tom knew
that mother wasn't even going to offer
him veal chop, to say nothing Of slay-
ing a fatted calf for him when he gave
up his place because it was too hard,
he'd stick to his job. And if Sally
knew that instead of weeping over her
and calling her a poor, prosecuted mar
tyr when she left her husband mother
would send her back home to her duty
she'd stay put in the first place.
Sympathy is only a virtue when it
means understanding. Otherwise it is
deadly drug. Don't get the habit
yourself, and still less do not cultivate
it in your children for the habit of
self-pity or being pitied, is a vice for
which there is no cure. And it leads
invariably to disaster.

BY Dorothy Dix

It is a curious and cynical fact that
women's virtues do more harm in the
world than their vices, and that the
angel on the hearthstone generally
works more disaster to her family than
the woman demon does.
You don't believe it?
Let us consider the virtues which
are esteemed peculiarly feminine, and
for which women are most eXtolled,
and see how they work out in real
life.
Let us begin with Sympdthy. That
is woman's star virtue. The popular
Imagination pictures the ideal woman
as a creature who is simply mush of
pity. She does not use her head, but
she works her heart overtime. She
never judges anybody or anything.
She's just sorry for them and ready to
weep over them.
She's sorry for you, and sorry for
me, and sorry for herself and her hus-
band, and her children, and criminals,
and mad dogs, and she goes through
the world bedewing it with her tears.
Now, sympathy, judiciously applied,
and in homeopathic quantities, is con-
soling and even a healing remedy for
many of the ills of life, but applied in
the wholesale and indiscriminate man
ner in which women use 1t, it is moth
ing but dope. 1t is dope that drugs
the brain, and paralyzes effort, and am
bition, and that saps the manhood and
womanhood in people.
We have laws to prohibit the indis

Public opinion is pretty we'll agreed
in this country that we are very much
unprepared, and the opinion is like
wise pretty widely held that war
cannot be STAYED off because one ma
ton is not ready to war. If there be
justification for war, and the present
conflict proves that the world Is not
as civilized as 1t is sometimes believed
to be, 1t will not be prevented because
of the weakened condition of pros
pectiVe opponent. Human nature is
not built along those lines.
Therefore, give your dimes and
quarters and half dollars for the
battleship fund! One Goes not feel
the loss of ten cents when it is given
in the great cause of preparedness.
Congress has before it at the present
time a resolution to accept the funds
that are being raised all over the
country through the monetary gifts
of the boys and girls, and grown-ups,
and 1t is expected that this bill will be
passed in the near future. Until Con-
gress takes the expected action, how
ever, the government cannot accept
contributions, and all who have been
sending their dimes directly to Secre-
tary Daniels and others will find a
ready reception of their contributions
with any of the newspapers that are
handling Marjorie Sterrett's fund.

Goats Raised in This
Country Successfully and
Their Milk Is Fine

The American Agriculturist contains
an article by Dauphin county man, too
modest to give his name. telling of sue
cess in goat-raising near Harrisburg,
and of the advantages of goats milk
for family use:
Il have kept goats for number of
years for milk production. The milk
is of a delicious quality; no odor what
ever even Immediately after milking
1t Is a milk one does not have to ac-
quire taste for, the most pretudiced
person claiming 1t to be fine upon first
tasting it. 1t will surprise many people
to know that goats are extremely
clean animals. They will not eat any
thing from the ground. Potato or ap-
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1916-04-21

Goats milk is only different from
cows milk mechanically and in that it
has slightly more sugar and more but
ter fat
"The other ingredients are about the
same proportion. Then how about a
milk rich in fat and easily digested,
delicious to the taste and from the
cleanest, domestic milk animal? The
goat is a grand, gentle animal, has no
odor whatever and is not bothered by
flies. Her milk will not produce the
best butter. owing to the minute fat
globules preventing separation until
the milk stands a long time, some
times becoming almost rancid; of
course, under these circumstances a
poor quality of butter is made. If a
cream separator will separate goats
milk excellent butter would result.
Some sanatoriums use goats milk ex-
clusively. Thousands of goats killed
at large packing centers of the coun-
try where all carcasses are examined,
show tuberculosis in goats to be un-
known"
