WASHINGTON Nov. THAT American prisoners
in German internment camps are just escaping starya
ton is the sent to the State department IN wire
by Ambassador Morris stationed at Stockholm, Sweden
If it were not for the food sent to these United States
citizens by the Red Cross and by the Y NJ c. A. they
would actually perish from hunger says Morris report
The American minister's information was gained
from Wimot Smith, an American who escaped from the
German intenment camp at IeI and who has just arrived
in Stockholm.
According to- Smith, the fare Of the prisoners is mis-
cradle and not sufficient to sustain life. For breakfast
chunk of black bread and some cold coffee are provided
and dinner and supper have the same menu. This con-
ssts solely of pint and half Of warm soup made from
nothing but turnps and water
The Red Cross and Y NJ c. A. food packages are
said to be all that stands between the prisoners and death
from hunger.

Why SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR
Telephone 1856

They do. not because 1t is fad.
but because they wish to obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that in
washing the hair it is never wise to
use n makeshift but is always adj
visabe to use preparation made
for shampooing only. Many of our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture. You can use this at q
cost of about three cents a sham
poo by getting some canthroX from
your druggist, and dissolving tea
spoonful in n cup of hot water. This
makes enough shampoo liquid to APP
ply to all the hair instead of just the
top of the head as with most prepara-
tons. Dandruff, excess oil and dirt are
dissolved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair will be so
fluffy that it will look much heavier
than 1t Is. Its lustre and softness will
also delight you.-Adv.

setting out a lot Of Towering shrubs with
Z view to identifying the premises.
The sol, of the terrace is of clay and
the pelting rain so softened II that
landslide followed and broad belt OF
mud, shrubbery and all, rushed down
the terrace and over the retaining wall
at a speed that carried it clear over to
the westbound track, piling the mud to
a. depth that rendered necessary the
shovelling off of the track before a
train could pass.
Over back of the telephone exchange
building on Winthrop hill they had
another slide, the earth taking with it
several reels that are used to wind
telephone cable on, also a barrel. all of
which are said to have COME against
the brick wall of the building with
crash that caused some uneasiness on
the part of the operators.
The effects Of the storm were also
noticeable on the Kennebec river, and
the morning showed the water to be
nearly to the tops of some of the
wharves. This rise was thought to be
due to the rush of water from upriver
but later investigation showed that the
rise was due to the backing up of the
water on account of the ice being
damned about opposite the mill of the
Augusta Lumber Co. Inquiry at the Of
flee of the Edwards Co. showed the
water on the dam yesterday afternoon
to be four feet and eight inches, the
rise on account of the storm being two
feet, the rise from Tuesday morning
to Wednesday morning being nine
inches. The rise yesterday was very
slight. that of five hours during the
forenoon being but two inches. The ice
during Wednesday moved down river
to below Britt's Gulley.
| Hon. Charles "A. Miiliken. who came
down from Aroostook county yester-
day. reported that the storm was heavy
in that section and set the water run
ming some, but expressed the opinion
that it was doubtful if any of it reach
ed so far down river, which would
seem to indicate that any liability Of
q freshet on account of Tuesdays
storm would be remote.
