Helen Besier Probably Mest Sought for

Helen Besler, daughter OF the president
OF the Central railroad OF New Jersey,
is probably the most proposedto girl
in France today. II all came about be-
cause one night in one of the American
camps she ran out OF 'encores," and
sang a little nursery song called, III
No One Ever Marries Me- II goes like
this:

And ! don't see why they should,
For nurse says am not pretty.
And I'm seldom very good

A Dead Stomach
OF What Use Is It?

Thousands? yes hundreds +of thou
sands OF people turnout America are
taking the slow death treatment daily.
They are numbering their own stom-
ach. the best friend they have, and in
their sublime ignorance they think they
are putting aside the laws of nature.
This is no sensational statement: ii
Is, startling fact. the truth or which
any honorable physician will not deny.
These thousands of people are swal-
lowing daily huge quantities OF pepsin
and other strong digesters, made espe-
ciaIly TO digest the food in the stomach
without any aid At all from the d.
gestive membrane of the stomach.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets relieve dis
tressed stomach in five minutes: they
do more. Taken regularly for a few
weeks they build up the run down
stomach and make it strong enough
to digest its own food. Then indIges-
ton. belching. sour stomach and head
ache will go.
Mi-o-na stomach tablets are sold by
druggists everywhere and by A. I.
Elder. who guarantees them.

Germany Must Pay
Allies $7.5OO,OOO. 900
Says London Banker

fCorre spondence Associated PresS.J
London. Nov. 20. One London
banker estimates that Germany Will
have to pay .he allies for reparation
and restitution about S.5Oc,Oo9, eOo.
Calculated on per cent basis, with
a ! per cent sinking fund this would
mean an annual charge on the Ger
man revenue f $4,000 900 He says
there can be no question Of Germany $
ability TO meet this demand.
1t is impossible. he says, discussing
the subject in a newspaper article, to
arrive at any approximate figure as
10 damages and robbericE in the in
yaded territories. For Belgium. the
article continues. Il would put the
amount of indemnity az S,4O0,Ooo,eeV
OF which sum !evies on Belgian towns
account for something like $500. Ooo,-

Belgium which is as high as 5000

thority estimates the amour; at $780,

With regard 10 France he says one
cannot reckon the loss suffered, "out
considering that the war has been
waged for he most part on French
territory. and in the center of her in
dustrial area We may put the figure
at $4,000. 100000.
Italy's damage is'computed az $50,
900, 900. The same amount is set for
Roumania's bill, including the loss OF
quantities of food stuffs and damage
10 oil wells and other property. He
thinks that s50.00o,00o would cover
Se-bia's loss. and a like sum prooabl,
would reimburse England for dam
ages caused by air raids and lombard
ments.
Shipping losses are then discussed.

Il have heard of an estimate which
places the total of the bill against
Germany at sic 900, 900 900, which, lise
my own calculation, is OF course TO
some extent necessarily hypothetical.
But l would put the figure myself at

course, include any pa, Of the cost

Regarding Cermanys finances, he
calls attention to the last pre-Wa-
budget presented TO tn. reichstag.

$685., 100000 and for the navy $lo',-

would allow Germany TO pay approx
imately the interest and sinking fund
on the y7,5oo000.0sO compensation.
leaving the balance of revenue, what
ever it might be, TO meet the cost OF
conducting the empire and paying the
interest on her loans, which amounted
early in the present year to $4,000

been substantially increased since

damages, the writer says, 1T may be
that Germany would have to suspend

Belgian Women
Friendly to Huns
Are Shorn of Hair

Correspondence Of Associated Press.I
Bruges. Nov. 20.-An ancient form
Of punishment in favor in the middle
ages has been adopted in Belgium for
Belgian women who were too friendly
towaI he German invaders or who
listened to their love making. They
have been shorn of their hair. In
Bruges several women have suffe red
this form Of retribution and either
must remain indoors or patronize the
wig makers. II is known that this
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 Belgian
men but few Of these awaited the
wrath Of the Belgian avengers. They
decamped before the Belgian troops re-
occupied the cities and towns which
had been held under German domina-
ton.
Such cases as these have been re-
markedly few. The wonder Is that
there have not been more. The proper
ton Of renegades IL SO small as to re-
fleet greater glory on poor little Bel
GUM.
A. 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 rul-
ing. II enabled them to endure ply
steal privations, suffer death and re-
sist the insidious propaganda OF the
German governors. Won Kissing. and
his successor Won Falkenhausen who
attempted to separate the Walloons
from the Flemish and to poison the
wells of Belgium's patriotism.
