well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which overworks the kid

the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your
kidneys get sluggish and clog you
must relieve them, like you relieve
your bowels; removing all the

backache, sick headache, dizzy
spells; your stomach sours, tongue

terward had to share him with his
mother and endure her noisy grief.
But for those last supreme moments
Dick was completely mine. / can feel
still the weight of his dear body as
lifted him up; can still see the
look of love in his eyes. Everything

lover back. The lover who wooed me
so impetuously and who was now dy-
ing as he would have wished TO die.
IL he muslin my arms. ...
But did not have this comfort long,
little book, for whatever sorrow comes
to one. the world steps in and says.
You must do thus and so under these
circumstances" Mercifully was
spared all the details Of the final ar
rangements and the details of the fu-
neral. For that night Dicks boy was
born. and was delirious for two
weeks.
They tell me that no one expected
me to live. and IL 1t were not for my
blessed baby with its fathers gray
eyes would have been glad to go.
Already can see the glimmer Of
that little Crooked smile about ths
baby mouth. although everybody ex-
cept dear old Jim insists that a baby
OF six months does not smile.
When I came to myself after that
agony OF body and grief of soul, !
found myself in my pretty room with
flowers all about me. For a minute or
two l did not understand what had
occurred and l moved a little restlessly
trying to think.
The nurse came quickly to the bed
and as she came she stepped to the
bassinet and picked up a fragrant
bundle of flannel and fine linen and
brought it over.
When she saw that was sane again
she placed my baby in my arms. For
a moment the contact of that tiny
helpless yielding body against my
heart blotted out everything except
the mother love-the great unexplain-
able. inexplicable, unending, unreason-
ing love that a baby brings to the one
who bears 1t.

mouth against my breast and tears

Americans Are Not

Washington, Dec. 2.-American
prisoners returning from German
prison camps complain OF scanty
food and bad housing conditions,
General Pershing has informed the
war department. but there is no evi-
dence Of discrimination against
Americans nor any authenticated
report Of brutality toward them.
The war department today issued
the following statement based on a
cable from General Pershing, dated
Nov. 29. and sent in reply 10 an in
curry cabled by General March:
American prisoners released
from German camps complain of
poor and sCanty food and bad hOus-
ing conditions. Only a small per
Ceutage Of those who are sick are
hospital cases. The majority are
suffering from slight colds and the
prospect is that all Will practically
be we'll with proper food and hOus-
ing. There is no evidence OF dis
elimination against the American
prisoners.
Among 1000 prisoners of all na-
t.oualjties who have been released
there is no authenticated instance
Of brutality against the Americans.
The majority of the American
prisoners stated that the German
soldiers also suffered food priva-
tiOuS. but that in cases where the
supply OF food was insuffi cient. food
for the prisoners was cut off before
that for the German soldiers"

REPORTED KILLED

Vienna. Nov. 2S.-tBy the Asso-
Ciated Press Hundreds are
homeless at Lemburg as the re
suit of pogroms against the Jews
in that city. 1t is reported that
many Of that people have been
killed and wounded. a church and
50 houses burned, and wholesale
looting has taken place. The
trouble is said TO be extending west
to JarOslav, and many other towns
in eastern GaliCia- Reports say
that the disorders were not tribut-
able to BOlshevism, but were the
outcome of an effort TO prevent the
Jews from carrying out the prin-
Cipie of seif-deteTminatiOn, accord
ing to President Wilson's program.
Disinterested observers state that
the fighting is the out growth of the
fact that the Ukrainians in Poland
wish 10 be free and under Ukrain-

pTepOnderance of Polish inhabi-
tants while around the city the Tx
