AMSTERDAM, June Cones
sages arriving here from Germany
and Austria make 1t clear the latest
troubles in the dual monarchy over
the food situation have never been
equalled since the beginning Of the
war. The agitation is growing
enormously. according to these dis
patches.
The Austrian premier,, pr, Won
Seydler, in a statement to the press
representatives at Vienna, an.
nounced that as a result of recent
negotiations the German govern
ment declared itself ready to ad-
vance to Austria a certain quantity
OF grain, and he added. some hun
dreds of wagon loads were already
on the way. He said the supply in
Austria was still so scapty as to
make 1t impossible for the present
to remove the II sstrictieFs on bread
The Hungarian government also
had promised to send foodstuffs es-
pecially considerable quantities of
new potatoes, he declared.
THE readiness of Germany and
Hungary to assist said the premier.
will alleviate in a short time the
hardship yet to be suffered before
the new harvest"
Vienna dispatches to German
newspapers say that the reduc-
ton OF the bread ration in
Austria Hungary caused immense
excitement throughout the dual
monarchy. An Austrian news
papers without distinction of party
protest against the measure, de-
mand It's removal and ask immediate
help from Germany and Hungary.
The party committee of German
socialists in Austria has addressed
an urgent appeal to the workers to
await the decision Of the Vienna la
Dor council and to abstain from all
excesses or interruption of work.
The appeal adds that the committee
will make sharp protest against
the reduction of the bread ration and
says 1t will decline all responsibility
for the enforcement OF the measure.

Some Old-Time Beliefs

Ideas that are false but still talked
about by some people cause much trouble
in the work of protecting the public
health according to the State Department
of Health. Among the current ideas are
the following:
"For every disease there is cure"
ssPiercing the ears strengthens the WIS.,
ion."
"Rubbing the eyelids with wedding
ring will cure sty."
.'Red flannel, if red enough, will cure
sore throat"
"a piece of beef-steak is good for
black eye"
"Grape seed produces appendicitis.
The sooner a child has measles and
gets through with it the better"
'The mother who has buried seven
children ought to be good Judge OF
health measures"
"Feed cold, and starve fever"
