NEW HUNGER DISEASE.
Too Much Water in Body, Due to Starvation, is Cause of AiImcnt.

Prague, Aug. "A new hunger disease is reported among the children of some of the remote district of Czecho- kia. It is a form of Hunger ocdema," and appears to be due primarily to the presence of too much water in the body, owing to starvation. It's presence is reported from several districts by the Amer ican women workers who have gone out to organize relief work for the American Red Cross. One of these reports, received today, says:
 Great care must be taken that the food gets to the children themselves and not to their parents. It seems almost unbelievable, but the parents are frequently accused of being the worst enemies A their own children in respect to food, and in one town we were told there was no mother love left.
 Most of the children are suffering from this strange Hunger ocdema and there is also a tremendous in crease in tuberculosis and other dis eases which one recognizes instantly as due to malnutrition."
