Philadelphia.-From factory to fac

been seeking for news of his wife,
who was formerly Miss Romaine Hum.
mel Of Lancaster, Pa, and his year.
old-son, Roy Weitzel Miller.
He has been unable to find them for
the reason that both are dead. The
nineteen-year-Old mother and the child
perished together in the influenza epi-
demic, when Miller was almost on his
way home from Europe.
When Miller heard the news he was
unable to believe 1t, and he does not
believe it now. Physicians say his
brain has been affected. There is a
dark spot in his consciousness, which
apparently may never be filed.
He is harmless, friendly, honest and
able to make living. But when he
gets together a few days pay, he be-
gins his hopeless round among the fac
tories and the mills.

IN CHURCH WELL
FrightfuI Tale of Bulgarian Fe-

From Serbia:
MANY TORTURED and KILLED
Citizens of LesE<ovatz Are Bound Hand
and Foot and Cast to Their Death
valuable Machinery is
Damaged.

Leskovatz, Serbia. - In Leskovatz
there is a church.
Under the church a well.
In the well the bodies of fifty citi-
zens of Leskovatz were found
drowned.
Their arms and legs had been tied
and they had been thrown into the
water by the Bulgarians when they
swept over Serbia, citizen Of the
town of LeskOvatz told me.
He also said that a good many of
the leading citizens of Leskovsez,
priests, school teachers and such, had
been deported-as those left behind
understanding Bulgaria. But that
just lately they had been finding in
the foothills of the mountains over
which the road went, graves in which
thirty, forty and fifty of these citizens
had been buried, after having been tor
tured and killed.
Large Factory There.
In Leskovatz before the war stood
one of the few large factories in Ser
bia.
1t had been making woolen cloth for
army uniforms and also linen cloth.
The buildings had been filled with
expensive machinery imported from
Austria and Germany.
When the Bulgarians came they put
up the machinery at auction to enter
.icsTa 0f Dx11rr
of the machines carry tags or are
chalk-marked with the names of the
successful bidders.
They had not been able to transport
all the machines before the Serbians
came back, though a great many had
been moved, but all those which could
not be removed had been cleverly dam
aged, almost beyond possibility of re-
pair.
All Machinery Damaged.
All the engines, all the various ma
chimes for the manifold operations re-
quired in the manufacture of cloths
had been damaged at some vital spot.
All the leather belts and even the
leather attached to rollers had, been
cut away. The boilers had been made
useless.
1t is an open questa whetheN the
machines can be repaSlt and re-
pair were possible, as to whether it
would not cost more than to take a
fresh start.
The owner, one of the few capital
lists of Serbia, seemed to take an al
most melancholy satisfaction in hav-
ing us see how his life work had been
destroyed. He seemed too old, too
broken and too discouraged to take
fresh start.

THE PASSING OF THE FENCE

Not many moons ago practically
every residence in Belington was sur
rounded by fence-some by boards,
iron ratings, palings and various
kinds. Cows and horses paraded
streets and allies and ravaged the
gardens and lawns where the fences
were weak. Lovers lingering in the
moonlight at the swinging gates for
few whispered words and good night
kiss. Happy children spent hours
swinging in the gates. But the ro-
nance of the fence is fast disappear
ing A trip over the city sees no
sign of the lawns and alleys being
used for pasturage and citizens can
lie down to slumber without dreams
of roguish cows riding over lawns and
gardens. A few years has seen pro-
gressive steps toward the goal of real
city ways in Belington.

Preventive Campaign

The 1919 sale of Red Cross Christ
of December. With the opening of
business on that day an army of vol
unteer salespeople will sound-"Buy
Red Cross Christmas Seals!"-the call
to arms in the war of determination
against tuberculosis. The sale will
extend through December 10th.
The annual Red Cross Christmas
Seal sale provides the chief income
of the National tuberculosis Asso-
citation and it's one thousand affiliat-
ed associations which are in the very
forefront of anti tuberculosis organi
cations. The 1920 programme of the
allied organizations calls for greatly
increased activities. To meet this
extension of effort combined bud
get of more than $6,500,000 is re-
quired and with this goal in view the
intensive sales appeals will be made.
A recent health survey resulted in
startling disclosures. Until the sur
vey tuberculosis experts were, to a
large degree, in the dark as to the
real extent of the ravages of the dis
ease in this country. All doubt on
this point has been cleared up and
the estimated total of active cases is
placed above the 100000 mark. To
search out every case of tuberculosis
in the country is the ultimate aim of
the National tuberculosis Associa-
ton and its allies.
Teams are being formed in every
community. Business men are form
ing sales organizations and similar
bodies are being organized by former
service men.

LET'S GO

Put one hundred men on an island
where fish is a staple article of sus-
tenance. twenty-five of the men
catch fish. Twenty-Five others clean
the fish. Twenty-Five cook the fish.
twenty-five hunt fruit and vegetables.
The entire company eat what thus is
gathered and prepared.
So long as everybody works there
is plenty All hands are happy.
Ten of the allotted fish catchers
stop catching fish. Ten more dry and
hide part of the fish they catch. Five
continue to catch fish, but work only
part of the day at it.
Fewer fish go into the community
kitchen.
But the same number of men insist
upon having the same amount of fish
to eat as they had before. The fifty
men who formerly cleaned and cook
ed the fish have less to do owing to
the under supply of fish. But they
continue to demand food
Gradually greater burdens are laid
upon the fruit and vegetable hunters.
These insist upon a larger share of
fish in return for their larger efforts
in gathering fruit and vegetables. 1t
is denied them and soon twenty of
the twenty-five quit gathering fruit
and vegetables.
But the entire one hundred men
continue to insist upon their right to
eat
The daily food supply gradually
shrinks. The man with two fish de-
mands three bananas in exchange for
one of them. The man with two ba-
lnanas refuses to part with one for
more than three fish.
Finally the ten men remaining at
work quit in disgust. Everybody
continues to eat The hidden fish are
brought to light and consumed. Comes
day when there is no food of any
kind Everybody on the island blames
everybody else.
What would seem to be the solu-
ton? Exactly! We thought you
would guess it.
For we repeat that you can't eat,
buy, sell steal, give away, hoard, wear
use, play with or gamble with WHAT

TRUE PATRIOTISM

The popular theory of patriotism is
that" it is the spirit that makes one
willing to fight for his country" But
while his willingness to fight is the
supreme call which patriotism brings
it is only one of many demands
which it makes of the loyal citizen.
The country depends upon its
schools to promote broader con-
ception. The children should be sent
out ardent Americans, and with the
idea that patriotism calls upon them
to make sacrifices for duty's sake in
time of peace as well as in war True
patriotism implies good citizenship,
personal honesty, and loyalty to the
country's laws at all times. The true
patriot is the true citizen. His acts
are prompted by conviction with de-
sire to be right and not policy with
desire for profit.
Patriotism demands that people
cease struggling exclusively to grab
riches and get gain and to have a
good time, and that they work in the
community. 1t requires that people
pive time to public causes, and help
remove the fostering evils that prey
on community life. Patriotism is not
merely fighting wars but it is making
a better country.-Ex.

Surgeon General Rupert Blue has

States, December 5, 6 and z. The APP
peal follows:
Over one hundred and fifty thou
sand Americans die annually from
tuberculosis. This is an appalling
waste Of life when we consider that
tuberculosis is classed as a prevent
able disease Moreover, because this
loss of life occurs almost entirely in
the ranks of the young adult popula
tion,- health authorities the world
over have come to consider the con-
troll of tuberculosis as still the most
pressing health problem confronting
them. Every year the National Tu
berculosis Association, by selling Red
Cross Christmas seals, raises consid-
cradle sum of money to be used in a
nation wide campaign to combat tu-
berculosis. This year special eff
fort is being made to interest school
children in this work and December
fifth, sixth and seventh have been
designated as days on which the
seals are to be sold in the public
schools, synagogues and churches.
Because of the seriousness of tho
situation, l trust that the campaign

THE WEB OF LIFE
E. ID. Koontz

While we slumber the loom of Life
still weaves,
From many a fabric plucked from
Natures faultless sheaves;
Yet, in the weaving there comes many
faulty place,
Who shall we blame, if we fall
amid the chase?
The shuttle flies obedient to the
weaver's touch,
While God stands by his side, and
often asks how much?
The sun sinks low behind curtain
red,
But the weaver never rests, cen
though today has sped.
Again the East is red with light, the
light displaces gloom,
Behold the tireless weaver, For
ever at his loom.
A life is spun from the frailest
threads of time,
And scarce complete, we hear
deaths funeral chime.
The life complete the master views
his work,
Faith sees no faults, nor sees
where shadows Turk,
Yet many wreck must strew the
shores of time,
And. countless thousands fall,
where few to safety climb.
