Prague.-A new hunger disease is reported among the children of some of the remote districts of Czecho- Slo- v8kfa.
 It is form of hunger odema." and appears to be due primarily to the presence of too much water in the body, owing to starvation.
 Great care must be taken that the food gets to the children themselves and not to their parents. It seems al most unbelievable, but the parents arg frequently accused of being the worst enemies of their own children in re- spect to food.
 Most of the children are suffering from this strange 'hunger-odema' and there Is also a tremendous increase in tuberculosis"

FIND cREEL FAMILY WEALTH
to Mexican Government for .IsntiNcation.

Mexico Gty.-When representatives of the famous Creel family of Chi huahua recently appeared before the government officials here with requests for information regarding the where aAouts of mining. railway and other valuable stock valued at close to E. 100000 pesos. they were astonished to learn that the stock, as well as about 100000 pesos in paper money, was held by the national treasury for iden- tificatiOn of ownership and that it only had been discovered few months ago.
 According to published accounts. workmen, while cleaning out spare room in the building used by the fed eral district government. found score of locked boxes which contained the paper money and shares. Neither the governor of the federal district, Gen. Alfredo Breceda, nor the district court, after guarded investigations. could determine who owned the treasure, so it was turned over in trust to the national treasury.
 The theory is that during the first revolutionary troubles which resulted in the downfall of Porfirio Diaz the boxes were sent from Chihuahua to a private residence of the Creels here and that when the Zapatistas first en- tered Mexico City they were placed in charge of the federal district govern ment.
 The Creel representative stated that a large sum of metallic currency and a valuable collection of jewels also were being sought, but of these easily realizabls riches 10 trace has been dis covereo.

WAR ALTERS BRITISH YOUTH
Flippancy of Modern Young Men Rather Upsets Their Staid and

London.-What has happened to our conversational manners? The war has altered them, but while some people consider that 1t has improved them others think it has sent them to the dogs. The only point of agreement is that they are different from what they used to be.
 For instance. the elderly managing director of sedate city company was a little surprised the other day when Major Crasher, the stockbrOker. lately demobilized from the R. A. F.. ended a business talk over the telephone with the phrase: "Righto. my dear old beanw

 The young man who was in the O. T. c. slaps his father on the back and says: T say, old china. why don't you get few new clothes? Trim yourself up a bit--eh? You'd do with a new hat, too. Rotten old hat you've got. We'll. so long. old boy. Now. hop off old snort or yOu'u miss that train"
