HUNGER CAUSES NEW DISEASE
ManIfests Itself by Swelling of Feet
and Leqs-Bed and Hospital Diet
Found Necessary.

One of the results of the restricted
diet now enforced in Germany is a
new disease due to malnutrition.
This, which is called an 'oedema dis
ease," and is now very prevalent, is
discussed in the Deutsche Medium
ische Wochenschrift by four physi-
clans who have been studying it,
two in the general hospital of Ham,
burg-Barmbeck, one among indus
trial workers in West Prussia and
one in the prison camps.
This disease manifests itself by
swelling Of the feet and legs, some
times of the hands, and often of the
face. The blood is found to be
watery. Rest in bed on ordinary hos
pital diet is followed by recovery,
but this is very slow.

JAPAN PAPER UNSURPASSED.

Japanese native-made paper is not
surpassed anywhere in this world; it
is used for the finest books, says the
East and West News. The paper
cloth of Atami, from which durable
clothing is made, indicates not only
the strength but the variety of uses
to which the native paper of Japan
can be put. All grades of news,
magazine and book papers have ad-
yanced in Japan. The far East ex.
plains that the rise is due to the in
ability of the mills to supply both
domestic demand and a rapidly
growing export market. None of the
Atami paper cloth is sent out of the
country owing to the large home con.
sumption. No attempt has been
made, except in China, to develop
this purely peasant household indus
try out of the narrow rut in which it
exists and to place it upon a modern
industrial basis.

Hunger Threatens Germany.

The Berlin Tageblatt, severely crit
icising the war provision office, says:
Getty dwelers await the coming
winter with anxious concern and SER
ious fear. The foodstuf prospects
are more unfavorable than atany time
during the war. To the high cost of
necessaries, which already has be-
come a terrible burden TO the masses,
isadded the danger that not even the
most absolutely necessary foodstufs
can be considered as being assured. ."

MODERN BATHS FOR SOLDIERS


So perfect are the sanitary ar
angements Of the leading armies en-
gaged in the European conflict that
II may be stated without exaggera-
tioa that a soldier at the front can
take his bath under almost normal
conditions, writes a war correspond
ent.
For instance, be has an individual
regulation bathtub at his disposal,
aid all the hot and cold water neces-
sary. And in many cases there is a
shower bath at hand for those who
wish to use it.
The travelling bath caravan recent
ly donated to the Belgian army by
the wounded allies' committee con-
sists Of truck which carries a dozen
or more bathtubs and a water-heat-
ing plant, as well as a roll-up tent.
In actual service the bathtubs are
taken off the truck and placed on
the ground, under the shelter Of the
tent. Hot and cold water may be
brought to the tubs by means Of
flexible hose, while the bathtubs can
be drained in the same manner
through a short length Of hose which
carries the waste water outside OF
the tent Enclosure.

Armenian Relief Fund.

The churches, Sunday Schools are
all busy this week planning for the
Relief Fund for Armenian sufferers
next Sunday. The city schools are al
so imbued with the same noble spirit.
Some churches and Sunday Schools
have already presented the appeal.
The public schools Of the city will
present the appeal and take the offer
ing this week before they adjourn for
the holidays. The amounts will be
published later, and Mr.. Ed L.
Weathers, at the First National Bank,
is the treasurer, and will receipt you,
whether it is your individual offering
or the offering of your school.
Now, If the county will line up
with the city for this Christmas Offer
ing for the starving people Of the
near East, we shall have made cred
table showing for our city and coun-
ty, and save a good many women and
children from starving to death this
winter.
The American Committee for Ar
menian and Syrian Relief have listed
%, 900 cities, towns and villages in
America and apportioned the amount
to keep these $500, 900 distressed and
hungry peoples from starving to
death this winter, and they have APP
portioned TO our city and county
| SO, l25. If these $1,000 villages, cities
and towns raise all they are appor-
toned and asked to give they will
then be the better able to spend only
10 cents per day for food for each ore
OF these sufferers! And there is no
city or county in the United States
better able 10 give the amount asked
than we are, and the appeal will not
come to any people Of the country
more responsive to such an appeal
than ours.
But in order to raise the amount we
shall have to consider more intelli-
gently the overwhelming numbers in
abiect and distressing want and suf-
fering. Remember, that 2, 500, 900 is
a conservative estimate of the num-
Der. More recent estimates put the
number at 8, 100000. And think of
tit requires $500 per head per
month to feed them, And tve times
two and one half million, or 3 million,
amounts to big sum for charity. |
But we have the means God has Civ
en- to us and enough to spare.
II 100 persons will give $1,000 a |
piece, and 200 $500 each and one
thousand $l00 each, we shall more
than raise the amount asked our
city and county. You can
make these offerings through your
cnurcni sunday school, or hand II TO |
Mr.. Weathers.
We have not yet heard from the
country, but we are counting on you.
The farmers have had a year of I'M
precedented prosperity, and when
much is given, much is required"
Your responsibility is very great in
The presence of this nationwide
hunger and distress, and the law is,
Whatsoever you mete shall be meas
ured to you again." Come, then,
people of the country, and of the city,
and let us help to feed these starving
women and children.
