"She was, however, in spite OF these
treaties, the first to suffer the agrees

Belgian government think 1t necessary
to define the aims which Belgium mas
never ceased to pursue While nshtlns
side by side with the entente powers
for right and justice.
Fulfills Duty as Neutral.
Belgium has always scrupulousiy
fulfilled the duties which her neutral
ity imposed upon her. She has taken
up arms to defend her independence
and her neutrality violated by Ger
many, and to show that she renamed
faithful to her international obl1ga-
lions.
ION the fourth of August. 1914, IN
the Reichstag, the German Chancellor
admitted that this aggression constl-
tuted an injustice contrary to the laws
of nations. and pledged himself IN the
name of Germany to repair 1t.
During two and a half years THIS
injustice has been cruelty aggravated
by the proceedings of the occupying
forces, which have exhausted the re-
sources of the country, ruined Its IN
dustries, devastated It's towns and VII
lagos and have been responsible 1or
innumerable massacres, executions
and imprisonmsnts.

"They have endeavored to deceive

signs of Germany by abandoning the
defense Of human freedom.

Fully conscious of the gravity Of

it's requirements, the Allied govern

and in perfect sympathy with their
peoples, refuse to consider proposal
which is empty and insincere.

HOME DoCToRING

On general principles 1t Is we'll tc avoid the extremes of heat and cold Where there may be even tendency toward chillblains, the feet are rem dered susceptible to them when sub- jected to strong exposure to the cold or in overheated rooms. Never by any chance toast your feet on the fen der or over a register. This treatment will make them very susceptible tc cold.
 When the feet feel half frozen, dc not immediately thaw them out by placing them in hot water or by arti- ficial heat. The change in their tenn. perature must be gradual. Remove the damp hosiery and shoes and replace by dry ones. Rubbing the feet witt oil of turpentine, bran water, muriate
 of ammonia, kerosene oil and tn, water in which potatoes have beer | boiled, are among the old-fashionet remedies for chilbla1ns.
 For sufferers from toothache pep.
 per bags are useful. They are mad, from circular pieces of muslin three quarters of an inch in diameter. Int
 cloth is doubled, one side being lined with rubber. Fill the bag with equa. ed ginger The edges are then sewed together. The muslin side of the bag is placed to the gum of the aching tooth while the inner cheek is protect ed by the rubber cloth.

LYRIC

The management of the Lyric prom ised the patrons of this popular play house last week. that beginning with this week, he would present for their approval for the next four weeks, four of the best dramatic productions that was possible to procure. That he has done this for the first week, is demonstrated by the fact, that 'The Cinderella Man." the offering for Christmas week, is filling the thea tre to capacity which in itself, is proof that the theatregoers of Bridgeport like clean, wholesome plays.
 Next week, one of the best of New forks successes is offered. The story of the play follows:
 Cheating Cheaters" is best de- scribed as a 'satiric farce melo- drama"-if you can figure out for yourself what that means What ever its technical classification, it is a type of play new to Broadway, and if you can sit through g. performance of it without audible and visible ex- pression of joy, the theater is no place for you to seek enjoyment. The piece was disclosed last evening to the enthusiastic delight of a typical sophisticated frst-night audience, which sniffed bit and shrugged its shoulders when the doings in Act 1 appears to forecast more or less conventional Crook play" The Big Surprise came early in Act II and it provided one of those thrills which come far from often in the life of a playgoer,

This last trip we slept for seventeen nights on the ship, and-but the rest of this story cannot be told with the appro- bation of the Censor.
 This is but another way of saying that men must fight but women must not stop to weep. Since the Kaiser loosed his Prussian dogs upon the world conditions, have changed about every day, and we must change our plans accordingly. But along with the thrilling new situations there is every days homely duty to be done as near ly normally as possible. A homely duty of tremendous importance is to maintain workers not yet needed else where at work on their regular jobs So we plan hats and dresses chic or useful and som etimes both, corsets to keep US youthful and enhance our comfort, shoes that we can parade in and come out uncrfppled, and so on and so forth.

EAT ENOUGH FOOD

Every woman should take council with herself, and treat her appetite and stomach with the greatest defer ence. Never, for @ moment, permit yourself to forego a substantial break fast and sustaining luncheon. if your shopping day is to be a success.
 Keeping up ones strength prevents the nerves from becoming ''panicy' and encourages optimism to a sur prising degree. While 1t is true that luncheon may consume much valuable time, it is equally as necessary to keep on good terms with your stomach.
 An early luncheon saves time and, when this is not possible, a cup of boullion, hot milk or chocolate, will take the edge off the appetite. Some thing warm is far better than an ice or sweet cakes.
