from Washington that kid waist
coats for soldiers and sailors may
be made by the Red Cross work
ers. The demand for these waist
coats is great, both in this coun-
try and abroad. They are made
as follows: Soft waste leather
of every possible description
may be used, such as cast off
kid gloves, discarded furnitur
covers, pieces of book leather,
etc. The leather is appliqued
with a sewing machine on to a
cotton or linenette foundation of
some sort, which has been previ-
ously cut into shape of a mans
sleeveless waistcoat The foun
dation should then be backed
with brown or khaki colored
SILICA, galatea, or any inexpen-
sive material. The waistcoats
are made so that they meet or
lap over in front, but without
buttons or fasteners Of any sort
When leather from old gloves
is used the gloves should be
cleaned and cut open and the
leather used in single thickness
only. The waistcoats may be
made from as large or small
scraps Of leather as desired. IT
is immaterial what color leather
is used, as it is worn inside and

REIMBURSEMENT
NCIENT FORM

DRUGES, Dec. 26, Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)--An ancient
form of punishment in favor in the
Middle Ages has been adopted in Del
gium for Belgian women who were TOT
friendly toward the German invaders,
or who listened to their lovemahins.
They have been shorn of their hair
In I,r,iges several women have suf
fered this form OF rotribution and eth
er must remain indoors or patroniza
the wig makers. 1t Is known that TINS
method has been applied In at least
one other place. The scenes attending
the application of this punishment has
been rather boisterous.
Corporal punishment is visited upon
the pro Germans among the Belg.ah
men, but few of these awaited the
belgian avengers. They decamped be
fore the Belgian troops reoccunied the
cities and towns which had been held
under German domination.
Such cases us these have been re
markably few The wonder is that
there have not been more. The proper
tion renegades Is so small as to re.
fleet greater glory on poor little Bel
GUM.
AS a whole, the civil population OF
Belgium has remained wonderfully
loyal. by their system of communal
administration, they were enabled to
govern themselves while the German
was deluding himself that he was ruI
ing 1t enabled them to endure physi
cal privations, suffer death and resist
the insidious propaganda of the Ger
man governors, Won Dissing and his
successor, Won Falkenhausen, who
attempted to separate the Walloons
from the Flemish and to poison the
wells of Delgium's patriotism.

THE FAIR PRICE
LIST CEASE 8

Under date OF Dec, Goth, 1918, the
Price Interpreting Committee of the
Knox county Food Administration re-
ccived letter from Mr.. Coxton. the
Federal Food Administrator for Ohio,
In which he said:
"The subject of the publication of
Fair Prices" has been under advise.
ment both in this office and In the
office at Washington, and we believe
that the time has come when we may
discontinue these lists. We feel that
they have accomplished the purpose
for which they were started, and with
the changed conditions due to the
signing of the Armistice and the de.
sire OF the Administration to revert
to normal conditions as rapidly as
possible. we believe that the publ
cation OF the Fair Price List" should
cease" In accordance with tho re
quest the Price Interpreting Com
mittee OF Knox county vii no longer

For we have loved too long.
Hate Is 10 sin. or II 1t Is,

This is the beginning Of piece Of
