Edouard Roupen, Victim
OF German Kultur

This picture is the first that has
come from Belgium to show the re-
suits of systematic Teutonic starva-
ton of a conquered people. The
facts that go with it are few and
simple, but they are a spiritual in
dictment of the German nation.
Edouard Roupen died at the age
of 10, starved to death as a punish
ment for his loyalty to country. He
had been prisoner for three and a
half winter months in Germany. Dur
ing that time his weight had fallen
Sc pounds. He was sent back to the
hospital at Mons and died three days
after his picture was taken.
When Germany depOrted thousands
of Belgians in 1916 to carry on the
industrial war work of the Teutons
a wave of Indignation swept the
United States. Fathers and broth
ers were torn from their families
with cynical Indifference, young girls
were dragged from their homes for
immoral purposes without pretense
of decency. By this wholesale crime
the military caste of Germany once
more proved itself outside the pale OF
humanity
The deported Belgians were pas
sive resistants. They refused to
work. They would not sign the
pledge to labor for Germany.
As they passed through Belgium
the prisoners flung from the car win
dows of their trains the pledge cards
that had beer, given them ION ne
signera pas" was written across the
blanks
But the German military over
lords are past masters at punishment,
especially in ways that leave no Wis
IDLE marks. They made the poor
Belgians stand for half day at a
time in ice cold water. They stripp-
ed their clothes from them and left
them exposed to the winds of winter.
They fed them one bowl of fish head
soup a day, just enough to keep body
and soul together.
The rugged Belgians still refused
to work fer the enemy, though temp
ted by good food and promises of
many indulgences. Their health fall
ed. Some died. Others wore away
till they were only shadows of their
former selves. Shattered in health,
these last were CONTEMPORARY sent
back, to Belgium.
Edouard Roupen was one of these.
He was deported October Is, 1915,
and at that time weighed LAG pounds.
He was sent back to the hospital at
Mons February 4, 1917 On FebhN>
airy Is, little more than a week la
ter. he tipped the scales at 90 lbs.
Three days after he died. He had
been starved and tortured to death.

Reckon "Miiesn by lime.

Trained woodsmen seem to develop
an instinct Of direction that has little
to do with the points of the compass,
writes Alfred Britt in Outing. Things
are not north or south, they are right
or left, near or beyond, whatever
phrase expresses the necessary sense
Of relationship of objects to other oh
jects. So when woodsman says
north" be not deceived; he may mean
anywhere in the northern half OF the
compass. BE not deceived either by
woodsman's judgment Of distance.
He will talk In terms Of miles and
fractions Of miles If that be necessary
to please his tenderfoot companions.
What really interests him is time. days
and fractions of days. If he knows that
with luck he can reach the western END
Of Brule Lake before dark, what does
1t matter whether the distance Is nine
miles or ninety?"

Universally Needed Food

The war has taught us many things
about food. 1t has taught us we can
substitute corn, barley, rice and 9th
er cereals for wheat without any in
jury to our health. 1t has taught US
we can substitute milk, cheese, nuts
and eggs for meat, and sirups for
sugar
But there is one food for which
neither this war nor any wars will
ever teach us to use substitute.
This food is milk. Milk is the one
food of universal necessity for chill
dren. 1t contains all the necessary
food elements and there is no sub
stitute for it. 1t is, in fact, the one
food which is called perfect.
Unfortunately, however, milk is
often considered only a beverage, in
stead of a highly nourishing food.
milk goes up a cent or two, many
housewives reduce their milk order.
But this is not true economy, for
milk at any price is the cheapest ami
NAL food. Twenty-Five cents worth
of it will give more energy than
twenty-five cents worth of meat,
eggs, or fish. Worked out on the ba-
sis of how much food of different
kinds one can get for twenty-five
cents, in buying milk at twelve cents
quart one gets as much protein as
in meat at twenty-five cents a pound,
or eggs at thirty-f1ve cents a dozen,
or fresh cod at twenty cents a pound.
perfect food, why can it not form a
meal by ITSELF"
This is pertinent question, The
answer is that milk is seven-eights
water and hence is so dilute that an
adult would have to drink quarts ev-
cry day in order to get enough ener-
ligy from it. Milk should be used in
combination with more concentrated
foods for producing energy, in order
to have well balanced meal.
Children and invalids should have
plenty of milk. Germany has been
| one of the first to recognize the alb
solute necessity of this, and in spite
of her milk shortage, she has main
tanned at all hazards the full milk ra-
ton for German children and for the
German hospitals.
This country is more fortunately
situated than the other warning coun-
tries, for we are able to give milk
freely not only to our children and
invalids, but to all consumers We
must, of course, guard against waste.
The flush season, when the cows
are on the grass, is now on. This
may not mean a sharp drop in the
price of milk, as some might expect,
for labor and cattle feed have been
high all winter and the dairyman has
had his overhead expenses increased
enormously.
But the intelligent housewife will
realize that true economy will not
allow any reduction in her family's
use of milk, no matter what the
price is. Economy will lead her al
ways to buy whole milk instead of
cream, for the skim milk left in the
creamery is often wasted. Take the
top of the bottle for cereals. coffee,
and the like, have plenty for the
children to drink, use sour milk and
whey in cooking, and make cottage
cheese often to eat in place of meat.

are endeavoring to put out FIRE: IF
you find flames breaking out in your
house, don't just grab pail Of water
and discharge it blindly In the general
direction Of the fire. The knack of
throwing a broad sheet Of water in a
semicircular sweep Is easily learned,
and is useful on spread fire on the
floor. The water should be applied
to the base of the fire. and not to the
flames and smoke. Water dipped out

and sprinkled on the fire is often more
effective than that thrown on the fire
