ner, a special machine being brought up to sever the rails one by one. The line is now being gradually restored but one can still see the short lengths of rail ranged in heaps along the track.
 Comm uncation between one town and another is most difficult. In places where the lines are to some extent, but only temporarily, re-es- tab1ished, one or two trains ire run in the day but they go very slowly, taking many hours over journeys which formerly lasted half an hour to an hour. Until the communication routes are restored the reprovisioning of Belgium will be very difficult and prices cannot go down.

CONDITIONS ARE BAD
 AROUND BRUSSELS
Prices Terribly High; Unemploy-
 ment Fund Being Used

Hrugucla Feb. 19.-(Correspond- snce of the Associated Press,) Con- litions here and elsewhere in Belgium generally are very hard. The prices of food have reached a distressing height Coffee costs the equivalent of about s a pound: meat and butter, s250; sugar, 62c; eggs, 4Oc each Mems suits of poor quality cost from s10O to $120. Mems shoes are about he same as clothing. A moderate meal in a restaurant costs the equlVa- lent of about S5.
 The streets of Brussels are filled with promenading crowds from morn ing to night because scarcely anybody does any work The shops, many of which indeed are closed, sell next to nothing, for two reasons: in the first place, because they have very little to sell and, secondly. because the prices are so high that the public cannot possibly afford to pay them The people have been very much dis appointed about prices. They always hoped that as soon as the war was over and the armistice was signed the necessaries of life would be procur- able at normal prices. Their antici- patton has been far from being re- alized. In fact, people have to pay nowadays quite as much as when the Germans were in Brussels.
 The number of places of amuse- ment, dancing houses and the like, has increased to a, great extent.
 Another grave economic difficulty arises out of what is called the un- employment fund. This was created during the war to aid workmen. en- ployes and others to enable them to subsist without having to be depend- ent upon the Germans. Tn the first instance this fund worked advan- tageously but after a while a different state of things arose. A workman who was being fed gratuitously by tie relief organizations received from the unemployment fund regular pay of about 100 francs a month for doing nothing and numbers of these work men, well content with their lot, re- fuse to return to work
 The railways, telephones and tele- graphs in Belgium have been for practical purposes destroyed. The ReIgians are doing their best to re- store them but it will take long lime before the ante-bellum condition k, re- esta blished. Out of pure mis- chief the Germans destroyed all that they could. For instance, the rails on the line between Adenkerkc to Truees and Ghent were cut in pieces three or four yards in length and this was done in tho most systematic man.

promises to be the most important

here on December II, when. an effort
will be made to organize the Missouri

In n letter in which George Washington
was inviting his friend Colonel Humphreys
to spend the winter of 1857 with him in
Mount Vernon. enclosing a copy of the pro-
posed Constitution of the United States he
said: THE Constitution that is submitted
is not free from imperfections: but there
are as few radical defects in ii as could
well be expected. considering the hetero-
geneous mass of which the Convention was
composed and the diversity of interests
which were to be reconciled. A Consttu-
tional door being opened. for future altera-
tions and amendments, | think it would be
wise in the People to adopt what is offered
TO them. and | wish it may be by rs great
a majority of them as in the body that de-
cided on it."
Read these words of George Washington
over carefully. Substitute the Treaty of
Peace, including the League of Nations, now
under discussion, for the Constitution, the
adoption Of which was then under discus
sion, and you will see at once the common
sense solution of the whole matter.
There may be difference of opinion
about the League. but the people of the
United States almost unanimously want
SOMETHING done. and done right away

Terrifying Itching Causes
Continuous Torture

Do you sometimes feel like
you will scream if you do not
get relief from the torment
ing and terrifying itching
and irritating burning that
makes you feel like your very
skin is ablaze?
Possibly your disorder has
not reached the torturing
stage as yet, but there are
thousands of victims of skin
diseases that know too well
the almost uncomfortable pain
that comes from eruptions,
Invitations, pimples, boils,
ulcers, eczema, PSORIASIS, car
buncles and the numerous
other forms of torment that
attack the delicate tissues OF
the skin.
The only proper method of
treatment for any disease is
a remedy that will reach its
source, that will remove its
cause, and not simply palli-
ate its symptoms. Many
forms of skin ailment come
from a colony of millions up
on millions of tiny disease
germs that infest the blood.
Naturally, then, these germs
must be eradicated from the
blood before a cure can be
expected.
You know well enough that
you cannot reach the blood
