 Leonard
 Cleanable
 Refrig gerator Food decays only when attacked by germs of decay. Germs of decay cannot reach food if 1t is kept in clean. low temperature. The Leon ard Cleanable provides that clean, low temperature. The one-piece porcelain lining is as easily cleaned out as porcelain teacup. The cor ners are rounded and the glossy white surface encourages the cook or the housewife to sponge it off daily.
 Leonard Cleanable refrigerators are made in the largest refrigera- tor plant in the world. Many re- frigerators are made there, but when the word "Cleanable" is used it means that all refrigerators to which it is applied have one-piece porcelain Things. They are re frigerators that will conserve the food supply of this great nation. Leonard Cleanable refrigerators in the Loveman, Joseph & Loeb Housefurnishing Store priced 21.50 to 125.0O.

BEIGIUM's COMMISSION HERE.
No Other COuntry's Representatives
More Heartily Received.

Washington, June 17.-Belgium's
diplomatic mission came to Washing
ton to-day to express It's gratitude for
all that the United States has done in
the past to relieve the suffering Of
its people and to discuss with Ameri-
can officials the reparation that Is to
be demanded Of Germany for her yiO-
lated faith at the beginning Of the
war and international crimes which
have followed it,
The representatives Of King AL
bert. who has clung tenaciously for
nearly three years to the last free
fringe OF his country, were received
with all the courtesies and probably
with deeper emotions than the Off
cial missions OF the greater nations
who preceded them.

Baron Ludoyic Moncheur, chief of
the political bureau Of the Belgian
foreign Ofhce and for eight years

or the mission. 1T Is understood he
expects to confine his efforts in the
United States largely to the ultimate

VIII lind his wishes already met, for

trance into the war took over the en-
tire cost Of the relief in Belgium,
Each month the Treasury Depart

The Belgium com missioners in
deed are assured Of the simplest
work OF all the missions which have
visited this country They will find
no need for explanation, argument or
heSotiation. American officials have
understood their case fully from the
first and will spare no effort to rem
der fullest honorS to the representa-
tives OF that nation which did not
hesitate to lose everything to save
It's honor from the mailed fist
The mission will be formally pre-
Scnted to President Wilson probably
tomorrow.
Not least OF its pleasant tasks will
ne that OF expressing Officially the
gratitude which all Bel

APPEAL FOR COAL SAVING.

Francis S. Peabody. chairman Of
the national coal board. recently ere
ntcd under the auspices OF the Coun-
ell OF National Defense, has issued all
appeal to the people Of the country to
conserve fuel SO that at all times
there may be a sufficient quantity
available for battleships, munition
factories, railroads and all enter
r"iscs that arc making materials for
use in the war.
The pound Of coal that the citizen
may save to-day, says the Peabody
statement, may contain the last gasp
o! cfnrS! necessary to drive a shell
home trnc 10 the enemy and spell
victory instead OF defeat That
InuAd that 'nany citizens may save
to-day may forge the shells that may
decide the war in favor Of a world S
democracy. The pounds of coal that
many citizens may save in many days
may shorten the war and save thou
sands Of lives.
Bear this in mind when using
fuel!"

Murdered Negro Found Near Madison
CTugaloo Tribune, 19thD

Sunday afternoon the dead body Of
a negro man, about 25 or 80 years
old, was found on the plantation Of
G. w. Spencer, short distance above
Madison. He was an employee Of the
Bennett Construction Company, and
we understand his home was in Char
lesion. An axe was found near his
BODY, and he evidently died from the
wounds inflicted by it in the hands of
an unknown party or parties. We are
told his head and part Of the body
were lying in branch. The negro
had $40 In currency -four flve-dol-
lar bills), which were undisturbed.
Coroner Hal D. Grant held an in
quest over the body Monday, and the
verdict OF the jury was that the de-
ceased came to his death from blows
OF the axe, by unknown parties. We
failed to learn the name Of the negro.
