As far back as the first winter OF
the war, the Red Cross sent to Serbia
a sanitary commission that effective
ly checked the scourge of typhus, but
after the United States entered the
conflict, the Red Cross was able, In
August, 1917, to send a full commits
sion that carried on extensive relief
operations among the suffering ref
ugees of the tortured nation. Hospi-
tails were established, the refugees fed,
clothed and given medical attention,
the army supplied with much needed
dental treatment, farm machinery, and
seeds provided to help the Serbs re-
deem their land to productivity, and,
not least. measures undertaken for the
succor of the children. The terrible
condition into which these helpless vic
tins of the war had fallen is well
portrayed by this photograph of a
little Serbian girl wearing the rags
and expression of hopeless dismay
that were all she possessed when the
Red Cross came.

MOBS
WHICH TRY TO
STORM Big PIER
Authorities Resume Their Ex-
animation of Immigrants
on the Patri
BIZ Associated Press

New York, Dec. 26.-Immigration
authorities to-day continued their en-
trance examination of immigrants on
the steamship, Patri, after the police
had quieted down the mobs which yes
terday made an effort to storm the
Fabre line pier in Brooklyn in order
to reach friends and relatives, who are
being detained on the ship.
Police reserves were called last
night when the crowd of foreigners
attempted to storm the pier. The
steamship Patri docked Tuesday with
1900 steerage passengers. The pier
guard was overpowered but the police
halted the mob before anyone reached
the vessel.
Because of the crowded conditions
at Ellis Island, the immigration auth
orities have been conducting the en-
trance examinations on board the
liner. The work has been slow.
Many in the crowd had never seen
the passengers they had come TO meet.
They had letters from distant rela-
tives who had written they were COM
ing on the liner. while others had pho
tographs to assist them in picking out
their friends.
Practically all the steerage pas
sengers were Italians. immigration
officials said of those thus far ex-
amined, more than 200 VIII not be
allowed to land. The majority of
these were rejected because they lack
ed sufficient funds to comply with the
immigration law.

This is all due to our present

civilized man eats rich food, lives in

clogged with waste matters, and he
finally yields to poisons generated

URGES PEOPLE TO FIGHT CATARRH
WITH SIMPLE HOME MADE REMEDY
Can Make Pint Home and Costs Little Says Leading
Druggist of Covington, Ky, Who Has Made
Special Study of Catarrh.
Says: lnflan7ed NOstri1S

People who say that catarrh is
a disease not to be taken serious
ly are harshly rebuked by a Ken
lucky druggist who has for years
been much interested in the
growth of this loathsome, yet al
together too common disease.
He claims that the sore, tender,
inflamed membrane Of the nos
trils and throat is a prolific
breeding ground for germs-not
only the germs of Influenza, but
many other kinds as well.
If people would only stop ex-
perimenting for two weeks and
try a simple remedy made Of
Mentho1ized Arcine mixed with
enough boiled water to make a
full pint, half of the catarrh in
this country would be abolished.

Even Democrats Admit
Palmer Fumbled Coal
Strike Situation

Washington, Dec. 26. = Attorney
General A. Mitchell Palmer's handling
of the coal strike situation has been
a series OF fumbles, from a political
point of view, in the opinion of many
astute Democratic politicians here.
They frankly regard them as so dis
astrous in their effect on Mr.. Palmer's
candidacy for the Democratic nomina-
tion for President as to eliminate him
from further serious consideration.
The view of most of the Democrats
in Washington is that William G. Nc
Adoo, as a result of Mr.. Palmer's "po-
1itical errors" has the same strategic
advantage or disadvantage of being
out in front at the present time as
General Wood occupies with regard
to the Republican nomination. 1t is
Wood against the field in the Repub-
lican camp and McAdoo against the
field in the Democratic camp.

recipe to be constantly shifting
and snuffiing, blowing and hawk
ing, when all these obnoxious
symptoms as well as the foul dis
charge can be made to disappear
in few days.
Ask for three-quarters Of an
ounce of Mentholized Arcine-
that's all you need and after you
have mixed it with enough boiled
water to make a pint. gargle the
throat twice daily and snuff or
spray some up the nostrils, as di-
rected.
The tender nostrils will soon
