FAMILY EATS BABY BODY
THE TERRIBLE CONDITIONS IN
ARMENIA
Houses Full of Dead-Crildren in the
Streets Crack Bones of Skeletons
for Marrow

Lieut.. James w. Thompson of Ra-
cine, state secretary for Armenian
Syrian relief, on Saturday exhibited
to reporter of The Sentinel letter
received from an American official at
Erivan. Armenia. The following ex-
tracts show the awful conditions in
that stricken country.
Conditions here are terrible. There
are houses full of unburied dead. A
man walking through the streets the
other day seemed to be carrying a
sack; upon examination it was found
to contain the body of freshly killed
man, which the bearer was carrying
home to eat.
"In another family the cook was
found roasting half the body of baby.
In other places children have been
seen cracking human bones for the
marrow.
People Eat Dead
eff the American people could real
iZe that it is common thing all
through Armenia to see children lying
dead in the streets, and that people
are forced to eat each other, they
would hate themselves for having any
surplus money which they would not
offer to save these poor people.
''In some places the orphans are
gathered from the street and placed in
a big open courtyard to be given one
bit of bread. They have to sleep on
the ground with no covering. Usual
ly the following morning they are
sorted over, and the dead ones put to
one side until the OK cart comes around
to gather them up.
No Smiles in Armenia
"The streets are full of weeping
and begging. / can certainly say /
have never seen smile in this place.
Just people crying all the time for
food-when they receive something to
eat, they break down from sheer weak
ness.
"If some of the Indifferent people
in America could see this, they would
never be the same again. There are
few Americans who could even dream
that there could be so much torture
and suffering in the world. Of course,
there are Individual cases everywhere,
but never before whole nation in
such a condition of suffering which
never ends. milwaukee Sentinel.

"This Tanlac has been worth its
weight in gold to me and | just feel
so fine | want everybody to know
about it." said Walter S. Willhide,
when he called at the Central Drug
Co., in Milwaukee, Wis, the other day.
Mr.. Willhide is a well known employee
of the Federal Rubber Company at
Cudahy, suburb of Milwaukee, but
he lives in Milwaukee at rs Howell
Avenue.
"Why, | had suffered so long and

friends were remarking how bad /

believe any man ever suffered with
his stomach as bad as l did for after

Dull heavy headaches came on me and
when they did l would begin to get
dizzy and my eyes would culver and

time trying to relieve the pains in my
back and stomach, and / was so ner-

all at once when | heard any little
noise out of the ordinary. My mus
cles at times would grip me in the
legs while / was lying in bed and l
would have to get out of bed and get
on my feet before | could get relief.
My appetite was almost completely
gone and / had lost about fifteen
pounds in weight and I was so weak
and felt so bad that / could hardly
do my work.
"This is the actual condition l was
in and | had been suffering this way
for five years when one day saw
a Tanlac statement in the paper that
described my case almost exactly and
so / got bottle Well, sir, it seems
like a dream to me and my wife is

only taken two bottles of Tanlac. Why

could want them and my muscles
don't eramp or grip me at all now, and
l don't have any dizzy spells or head
aches any more. Tanlac was certain

Freezes Hands In Car

A young lady named Winslow living
in Yarmouth and employed at East
mans had both her hands frozen
Tuesday morning while riding into the
city in Il trolley car. The car was
delayed good deal. the trip taking
an hour and a half and it was eN-
tremely cold in the car all the way
in. Miss Winslow, who had on thin
kid gloves, noticed that her hands
felt numb and cold but did not sus-
pect the truth until she got into the
store. Her first move was to put
the gloved hands on top Of hot
radiator and Immediately she began
to suffer great pain. Some of her
kind but misguided friends tore her
gloves off and advised her to plunge
her hands into hot water which she
did. Instead of giving relief it made
them much worse and in moment
they had puffed up much like the
hands Of base ball player who
tries to catch hot ones without using
a mitt. By this time the girl had
walked up to the fact that her hands
were actually frost bitten and she
promptly put them in cold water
instead of hot. This helped some
but the mischief had been done and
for the rest of the day, and probably
for some time to come she will have
a pair of very sore hands rs q re.

day of 1918.
