In sad and loving remembrance of
our dear daughter; Mrs. Emma Rebec-
ca Ridgeway who departed this life
four months ago today October Is,
1913.
-Four months have passed, our hearts
are sore;
As time goes on we miss you more,
Your memory is as fresh today
As in the hour you passed away.
Tie rolling stream of life rolls on
but still the vacant chair,
Recalls the love. the voice, the smile
of one who once sat there,
The Flowers we lay upon her grave
may wither and decay.
But the love we bore for her vii
never fade away. 81.

POLANDS PLIGHT
BAD AS BELGIUM

WARSAW, April S,--Before depart
ing for Paris, DIR. Vernon C. Kellogg.
n member Of the American food ad-
ministration, who investigated the food
and health problems in East Poland,
said the situation there had improved,
partly as a result OF the receipt Of
American food shipments, but that they
were far from being solved,
ut will take a year to get Poland
on her feet" DIR, Kellogg added. There
are at least 5000, 900 people, scattered
over $1,000 square miles, who are worse
off than were the Belgians. because
they have been without any help what
soever for four years, They are abso-
lutely dependent on the allies for food,
|%rlothing and hospital supplies.
II do not believe the allies have q
more important duty than to hasten
all available assistance to Poland, We
have shipped 10000 tons Of foodstuffs
to Poland, but that is not enough. We
must send hat much each month"
DIR, Kellogg has been cooperating
with the American Red Cross In chill
dren,A- relief work, similar to that car
ried out in Belgium, and for which the
Polish and American governments have
each appropriated $1,000, 900.

No policeman need starve, even II
his salary has not been advanced this
year to keep pRce with the high cost

c. W. Miller, commissioner Of the

tail liquor in quantities from a half,
pint to a quarts known. He said
30 in his last circular letter to the
members of the police department, In
which he ordered the arrest of all
known bo~otleggers on a charge OF
lettering.
If the commissioner speaks from
knowledge. there is no reason why the
police do not know these men.
Now comes the report that in some
Of the residence wards, where there
are possibly only four or five of the
p~urveyors of booze operating, the price
offered the patrolmen and sergeants

who choose can make from $50 to $50 a
