since the beginning Of time. Rough
stone huts they are for the most part,

half way up the lower hills, and the

TOO STARVED TO BE HUNGRY
There Comes a Final Stage in the
Horror, When Taste for Food
is Lacking.

| cannot quite bring myself TO tell
tales of famine horrors--the monkey
faced, pop-eyed babies Juggling hungrily
at the cold breasts of dead mothers ly-
ing on the frozen ground the piteous
old women and the stoical men the in
credibly deformed starving waif whom
/ picked up outside of the city of Using

kiang who was carrying home a
starved cat for food, and in response

me as a delicate morsel, and such
general concomitants as the incidence
of smallpox plague with the famine.
One of the unexpected aspects Of
work in the famine camps came when

C~hinkiang as she made rounds to dis
tribute medicine to the sick among
the hungry, As a matter of fact,
relatively few persons ver die in a
famine directly from actual hunger,
but rathM' from diseases induced by
nalnutrltion.
Obligingly, Mrs. Paxton freely trans
lated for me as we went along, n we
found. in pathetic paradox, that the
commonest request Of these starving
creatures vas for medicine to give
them an Appetite Even when they
succeeded in getting a bowl OF food
from the relief station, ran the re-
peated tale. they could not eat 1t,
having no taste for food.
To us this meant, obviously, that the
sufferers had reached the final stages,
where craving for food had passed
away. They were not hungry, be-

NEITHER CHURCH OR JAIL
IN SMALL DIVA TOWN
Inhabitants Possess More Money Per
Capita Than Any Other Com
munity In America.

Davenport, Ia, Nov. 16.-There are
TWO institutions that Walcott. Iowa.
the richest town per capita in Iowa,
prides itself as not possessing. These
are churches and jails.
In its religious beliefs. Walcott is
unique. For more than SO a the
town has been without @ church. 1t
once had a Jail, but like its only
church, established 65 years ago and
which existed but few years, il was
put in the discard. While the. jajl
building still stands, there is no
vestage OF a church edifce. But
there are no locks to the Jail and its
hinges haye rotted off. 1t is never
used.
We are free thinkers and believe
in free American citizenship seven
days a week. We do not need preach
ers to dictate to us. We are better
off without them" states Mayor
S%trohbeen in expressing Waicott's
lack OF churches.
Mayor Strohbeen states that while
any denomination has the privilege
of establishing a church in Walcott
tie people simply win not p~atronize
them. They would have empty pews
and empty collection baskets every
Sunday.
1--WE are getting along very well
as we are--much better than with
churches. We like to be let alone
There is no more peaceful or Law
abiding town in the whole United
States than Walcott. Why should we
want churches. They bring strife
and dissension-we want peace and
quietude." commented the towns
popular mayor.
It's no secret, how Walcott resi-
dents spend their Sabbath. Shows
and dances are our principal Sunday
amusement" says Mayor Strohbeen.
Then in summer we enjoy baseball
and automobile riding"
In case of weddings. most of the
couples come to Davenport and looi
up a justice. In very rare instances
a minister Of the gospel is called in
Most of the funerals in the town
are conducted by Johannes Kroeger
who delivers the Grafton in either
German or English, as the mourners
desire. Mr.. Kroeger possesses no
church affiliations or religious be
liefs. In other words he is a pastor
without a creed. Baptisms are un
known in the town.
In a business and commercial way
WaIcott Is a thriving town. 1t has
two banks with combined deposits OF
over $1,5O0,000. This is a remarkable
showing when It is considered that
the population Of the town is but oS4
1t has a consolidated school second
to none in this part OF the state.
Recently the citizens erected a fine
public auditorium. Here chautauquas
and musical entertainments are ,'eie
on week days, and dances on Sun
days.

might preserve this illustration as or
actual picture OF your tire.
A more common tire injury Is showr
in illustration b. This effect Is due
to faulty alignment of the front
wheels. A bent axle or steering
knuckle may be responsible or possibly
the demountable rim was not perfectly
applied.
Accidents are not always response
BILE for the front wheels being out of
alignment, but frequently this is the
case. All cars, through no fault In
manufacture, are subject to this con
dltion, and the first indication will be
given when you notice the tread of
one or both tires wearing as though a
rough file had been used on them.
If the tread becomes worn through and
the fabric affected. then the tire Is
beyond repair. Correct trouble quick
ly to avoid necessity of this. There
Is but one remedy, and that is care.
Test your front wheels Frequently
and be sure that they are In proper
alignment.
Neglected Cuts.
Illustration Q shows a casing with
two-thirds of its life wasted. for
neglected cuts in the tough rubber
tread have caused 1t to blister. 81
this instance sand and dirt have been
forced into the cuts and worked
around under the tread. Note the
several large bumps where the sand
and dirt have accumulated. II a tire
Is carefully watched for these cuts

no damage will result.
