"The youngest child was about
three years old. He was sallow and

to keep alive at all. There was no

Hunger Brings
Age to Early
Youth
Jacob Billikopf Describes Scenes of
Postwar Distress in Poland.
Starving, Hopeless Misery.

Jacob Billikopf, who went to Po-
land as a. personal investigator on
behalf of Felix M. Warburg, and
other members of the American
Jewish War Relief Committee in
an interview, said that the six
weeks he spent in Poland made
Dante's Inferno appear a haven OF
bliss by comparison,
Starving, suffering, with no hope
or strength, the Jews Of Poland face
practical annihi1ation, he said. The
younger generation, such part of it
which survives, is stunted in
growth, and suffering from all the
diseases of hunger. The older gen

for help, not for themselves but for.
their children. Here are some de-
tails Of the condition of the children
as narrated by Mr.. Billikopf:
'Krochmalna is the most CHASTITY
street in Jewish Warsaw, and that
is saying good deal. All that can
be said in favor of Krochmalna is
that it's tenements are low and ram
shackle, so that the fresh air is not
too far removed. When you go
through Krochmalna you wish you
were as tall as the six-foot Ameri-
can captain of Our party, who
breathed the. purer upper story at
mosphere. With the exception Of the
height of it's buildings Krochmalna
has little to it's credit Hundreds
of children, crippled by ricketts,, hol-
low-chested women carrying in
their arms wan babies that look to
be undernourished infants of six
months and who turn out to be
children four and five years old are
to be seen.
"a child does not die of starva-
ton as easily as grown-up. But
YOU can stunt the growth of child
by starvation as you can that of a
plant by giving it too little water
and sunshine. The terrible thing
about the children of Warsaw is
that they do not all of them sue
cumb quickly of starvation. They
wither. Have you ever seen even
one human flower in the slow proc
ess of whitening for want Of nour-
ishment? In Warsaw you may see

before they can even feebly blossom.
"The choice, if you are looking
for poverty at it's worst on Kroch-
malna Street, is hard to make. We
asked the admiring .throng that fol-
lowed us down this malodorous lane
where there was the greatest pow
erty. Everybody is dying of starva-
ton here, they said. We selected
an entrance at random. It led into
a dirty, unspeakable courtyard,
bounded on four sides by ram
shackle novels with broken win
dows and crumbling walls. Off the
courtyard we tried another en-
trance. Climbing up a broken
staircase we paused on the first
landing. A chorus of our guides
shouted, Here is not yet the great
est poverty We climbed again an
other flight and paused again. The
odor of massed and packed human
ity, of twelve human beings wedged
into one room, made us gasp.
1--WE paused Again a chorus
greeted us. Here was not yet the
greatest 'Armkeit' We scrambled
up ladder, through sort of scut-
tie, and into a garnet SO low that
our American Captain almost had
to bend double. One of our volun-
teer guides triumphantly threw
open door already off it's hinges
and pointed into little hole of a
room, bare of all furniture except a
bed covered by ragged quilt and
a stove with a crazy, twisted pipe.
This stove had, as we learned, not
been lighted for months. How
could it be when there was no food
or fuel?
"a woman who appeared to be
more than 20, but who turned out
to be not much more than half that
age, was standing at little open
ing of a window. She spoke to us
in whisper, her hand clenched
against her breast to keep down the
fits of coughing. She had five chill
dren. The oldest one was at al
neighbours house.
"She moved aside from the Win
dow and allowed us to see the other

flower occurred to me. AS | have

BACKACHE is A WARNING
Middlebury People Should Not Neg
lect Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most fire.
quent signal of weakened kidneys. To
cure the pains and aches, to remove the
lameness when it arises from weakened
kidneys, you must reach the cause.-the
kidneys. If you have pain through the
small of your back, urinary disorders,
headaches, dizzy spells, or are nervous
and depressed, start treating the kid
neys with a tested kidney remedy.
Doans KKKidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for weak
kidneys. Doan's have been used in kid
ney trouble for over so years. Read
Middlebury's testimony.
Mrs. John R. Lowell, Sc Seymour ST.,
says: my back bothered me mostly
when l got up in the morning and when
1 stopped, sharp twinges shot through
me. There was sort OF blur before my
eyes at times and also had dizzy spells.
l felt miserable most OF the time until
1 used Doan's Kidney Pills. They
helped me so much that the trouble
hasn't returned"
Price Goo, at all dealers. Don't simply
ask for kidney remedy-get Doan's
Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Low
