Those Happy 'Belgians.

A high Mohammedan Turkish otfic-
ial. Djemel Pasha, recently completed
a tour through Germany, Austria
northern France and Belgium. He and
his fpllow-rulers and Mohammedan
companions had previously butchered
Armenians tortured Syrians. caused
thousands to perish through famine
and turned over thousands Of girls TO
the harems OF the Turks.
Pasha was used 10 cruel deeds. If
the stories regarding him are half true
he never shuddered when woman
was butchered A Syrian Christian
could he hung up by the thumbs with
out making Djemel Pasha turn mis-
eyes.
The Turkr6ficial saw some strange
things in Belgium and he wrote some
OF these adding imaginary trimmings.
His stories appeared in German pa
pers Later they appeared in Belgian
papers and in the Paris journals. And
I in one Of these stories he told OF the
"idylic life of the Belgians,' how the
happy peasants gathered in crops
with the help of "contented prisoners.
| Then he finished his masterpiece OF
fiction by saying, THE fairy tale Of the
! n-treatmont OF Belgium by Germany
is really too grotasque.'
/ German brutaIities in Belgium have
been written time and again. Thu
world knows that the Belgians are fal
from being happy Belgians." Chris
tendon knows that murder, torture
pain and all forms of punishment have
been melted out to the Belgians whose
only transgression was that OF re
speeding treaties and obeying inter
national laws. The Van Dykes anC
the Gerards and the Hillises have tolt
us after personal investigations tina
almost all the crimes in the categorl
have been committed against thost
brave people who insisted that treatie
should not be mere scraps Of paper
and that national honor was some
thing more than a commodity to b.
sold in exchange for gold or even TO
peace.

condescend to even mention the.

The horse has seemed rather out Of
it in the war as a weapon, but quite
the contrary is asserted by Captain
Raj Parr, an officer in the remount
service, who says: Notwithstanding
the trench fighting, it requires ATT
horses to an infantry regiment alone
instead Of a couple of score, as is pro-
perly supposed The allies have not
stopped purchasing horses in the Unit
ed States. In July the purchases Of
horses by the allies here were valued
at S1,377 900, while for the seven
months ending July 81 they reached
the amazing total of $25,000.000. Re-
Gently / talked with a French officer
and he voiced the opinion that the
h0rse would prove the determining
factor in this war. He said that OF
late the French and the British have
been capturing great quantities Of
guns out Of all proportion to the
number OF prisoners and his eXpla-
nation is that Germany is short OF
horses to handle her artillery. This
too, in spite Of the great breeding
stunts which have been a factor in
the development OF the kaiser's waf
machine This officer thought that il
was generally known that the re-
sources Of Hungary, which
have been the nurseries for thorough
breds and the like, were being drained
to supply her ally The time must
come when the limit viii be reached
with outside supplies shat off by EN-.
barge In our own country there is q
decided shortage in the best type Of
cavalry remounts."

reality he is worse of than he has
ever been for the reason that the cost
OF living has grown out Of all proper
ton TO his advances in earnings. He Ia
ments the failure 10 provide substi-
tutes where it is possible TO do so IN
keeping In check the household food
bill and his panhaas suggestion IS
merely one of many ideas that he feels
should be developed during the war
to make IL easier for the American
family to face the extraordinary con
ditions with which it Is being
weighted In eating panhaas the meat
and wheat supply would be conserved
also giving more of those necessaries
to our European allies. MIR. Coulston
has done a splendid service to tht
community, and II is hoped that many
consumers and meat market owners
alike, will profit by the enlightenment
that he mas furnished them.

Toxemia is another factor which we

so many people have it. The average

taken for good blood In reality the
fat is warning signal Of approaching

spells incipient arteriosclerosis.
