ana Bulgar, and had never known
"hat II was during that time to have
roor and shelter. Under the Bulgars
ihey were forced to live in the omen
neids or In dugouts or stables. Eight.
cen hours day at hard labor under
constant intimidation was the lot of
some OF them. Three-ffths of a
pound OF black bread a day was the
pltirul recompense they received from
the Bulgars. Often those too weak TO
work were beaten by their ruthless
masters.
One refugee declared to the CORE
spondent that at one time there were
more than sixty deaths q day among
the refugee colony in Dobrudja from
malnutrition, exhaustion and expos
ure. In certain sections, he said. the
Greeks were forced to live largely on
the rinds Of watermelons which the
Bulgarian soldiers threw In the
streets.
Tell Bitter Experience.
The older residents Of this refugee
''D VI cdioliihl, luOSt Oh whom
had fled from different parts Of Asia
Minor during the wholesale massacres
there in 1914. have bitter experiences
to relate about their treatment by the
Turks. Some Of these people lived in
the city of Phocis, where the whole
Christian population either had been
driven out or were killed by the Turks.
The women wept as they told about
the outrages of the Moslems. The
worst story was that told by an INTEL I.
ligent peasant woman, who declared
that in a butchershop opposite her
home in Phocis she saw the Turks
take young girl who was considered
the most attractive In town and cut
her body into pieces. They hung the
pieces on meat hooks and offered
them for public sale, she said, to show
the Turks contempt for Greek Chris
tians.
What most impresses the eve of the
visitor in speaking with these unfor.
tunate people is their sad, wan and
furrowed faces. They have been
driven about by the invading foe
until they have reached the point al.
most of despair and distraction.

The high appreciation of the British

the place of a fit man in the critical
days OF the war, so each one who now

The spring housekeeping is finally
completed by washing and polishing
fixtures and furnishings that REQUIRE
this treatment. Here are a few hints
and recipes that will be found useful
Electric Powder.
Used for polishing gold and silver
plated ware, German silver. brass. COD
per, glass, tin, steel, or any material
where brilliant luster is required. To
four pounds of the best quality of
whiting add one-half pound cream of
tartar and three ounces of calcined
magnesia. Mix thoroughly together.
Use the polish dry with piece of
channels skin or canton flannel pre-
viously mOistened with alcohol, and
finish with dry polish. A few mo-
ments' rubbing will develop a surpris-
ing luster, different from the polish
produced by any other substance.
Silver Powder.
Nitrate of silver and common salt
each 80 grains. Cream of tartar three
and one-half drains; pulverize finely.
mix thoroughly, and bottle for use.
Unequaled for polishing copper and
plated goods.
Knives not in daily use should he
well polished and buried in a box of
sawdust until required for use.
Britannia ware should be washed
with a wooden cloth and sweet oil.
then washed in water and suds and
rubbed with soft leather and whiting.
Frightening Brass.
To clean lacquered brass wash 1t
gently in lukewarm water, rub with
cloth dipped in equal parts Of vinegar
