THE TORTURE OF ENTHUSIASM.

Recently a foreign surgeon approach
ing these shores became panicky at the
prospect of greeting the American public.
From the reports that had reached him
of the heartiness of American welcome as
expressed in the gripping handshake ne
feared that the constant pressure of
thousands of fingers might benumb the
digital skill that had made his name
world-famous. The lovable prince of
Wales while visitor here was forced to
the necessary. impoliteness of extending
his left hand after his right hand had
been crushed in fervid handclasps.
During the various receptions that
are being accorded TO Marshal Foch, now
touring the country as 1he guest of the
American Legion, the members of the
party. particularly his personal
physician, DIR. Andre, stand by to warn
those who greet the marshal not to
squeeze his hand. 1t is hard for those
who are afforded this close contact to re-
sist the impulse; they have to be re-
minded that the marshal has received
the cordial grip of $4,000 persons. The
marshal, however, puts all the force of
which he is capable in his handclasp.
Il fear that it viii be months before
Marshal Foch will he able to- lift his baton
again" said DR.. Andre, WHO accompanied
the marshal all through the war, ''but
he has told me he would rather be Grip
pied than lose the opportunity to meet all
the friendly hands that are outstretched
to him in this country

'They are no more my children than
yours" is Herbert Hoover's homely yet
eloquent plea for 100000 European
children who face incredible tragedy
this winter unless America comes to
their rescue. The funds by which
American aid has been feeding mil
lions have run out, and that the work
may not stop and thus precipitate
what would amount to "a massacre Of
the innocents" seven other great Amer
lean relief organizations have united
with Mr.. Hoover's organization under
the name of the European Relief Coun-
ell in 4 jeint appeal for funds The
collaborating agencies are the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the American Friends
Service Committee {Quakers). the
Jewish Jsint Distribution Committee,
the Federal Churches of Christ in
America, the. Knights of Columbus,

POLAND NOW RIVALS
PLIGHT OF BELGIUM
Children Chief Sufferers in Land
Stripped Of Necessities,
Says Relief Worker.

Poland IL In the destitute state for
want Of food and clothing among the
poor that Belgium would have been
during the war, had there been no COM
mission for relief In that country, ac-
cording to Dr.. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri-
can Relief Administration Official who
recently returned from Warsaw.
Dr. Kellogg was q member Of Mr..
Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the
conclusion Of hostilties. entered Po-
land as the Hoover emissary in charge
Of food relief. He first entered Poland
in 1915, few months after the Ger
man occupation. His report Of starva-
tion. disease AID suffering that exist
ed at that time is one Of the most
narrowing documents in the records
Of American relief work overseas.
DR.. Kellogg made the following
statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
with Warsaw as our headquarters,
we began operations in Poland In jan
uary, 1919, and within q few weeks
there was established steady impor-
tation Of food into that codntry. Tons
and tons Of 1t came from overseas
through the Port of Danzig.
1T was impossible to do all that
the administration wanted 70 do, be-
cause the need Of Poland was too great,
but 1t was agreed that enough food
should be sent to Poland to care for
the four million people until the great
agricultural districts could again pro-
vide for them.
But In addition to these four mil
lion people who so pressingly needed
relief, there was another call for relief
from q source that could not be re-
sisted: the children Of the land. Many
of these were orphans, hungry. ema-
ciated, destitute and diseased. So the
American Relief q administration added
to its work BY lnstituting q system Of
feeding these children. In q few
months q million and quarter Polish
children were getting free meal ev.
cry day of special food prepared to
:ounteract the effects Of their previous
undernourishment"
To f1nsh the job eight great organ
izations have united under the name
Of the European Relief Council to raise
the funds necessary to care for the
food needs and the medical needs Of
the 100000 children Of Eastern and
Central Europe. These organizations
are the American Relief Administra,
ton. the American Red Cross. the
American Friends Service Committee
(Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribu'
tion Committee, the Federal Council Of
the Churches Of Christ in America, the
knights Of Columbus. the 7. NJ c. A.

LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROpE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies
Combine to Save 100000
Children Death MenaCeS.

Eight great relief organizations,
working among and for every race and
creed, have united under the name Of
the European Relief Council to CO.
ordinate child relief in Europe this
winter. The Council will seek to pro-
vide funds for 3,5OO,OOO starving and
diseased children in Eastern and Cen
tral Europe and to administer this
relief economically.
1t consists Of Herbert Hoover, chair
man, and Franklin K. Lane, treas
urer; Edgar Richard, representing the
American Relief Administration; DR..
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warburg
representing the Jewish Joint Distrt-
button Committee; Wilbur K. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers) James
A. Flaherty, representing the. Knights
of Columbus; DR.. c. v. Hibbard. repre-
senting the Young Mems Christian As
sociation; Miss Sarah S. Lyon, repre-
senting the Young Women's Christian
Association; DR.. Arthur Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council of Church
es of Christ in America.
1t is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $33.OOO,OOO, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
garding child life may be met. In
every town and community Of the ma
ton, It is planned, local committees.
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the VI
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, S23,OOO.O0O will be used for
basic food and $1O.OOO,O0O for medical
service.
For every one Of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form Of transportation,
labor, guards. clerical help. cash con-
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
$10,OO0,0O0 of the fund Is just as
urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies in
the raising Of the child saving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep constant
eye on the administration Of Amer
ica's merciful gift, in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
toward pauperization.
''This is the largest cooperative be-
nevolent organization ever attempted
in the United States" Mr.. Hoover
says. 1.-THE organizations represented
have come to the unanimous. though
independently formed conclusion, that
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can
avert incredible tragedy for the help
less children involved. The organiza-
tons forming the Council will ergan-
izs their representatives In every
tewn and community Of the nation
for the raising Of the necessary funds"

Get Lucky Tips in Dreams.

When an Italian has a dream he
doesn't 60 tell his friends about it
for the sake Of making conversation,
but hurries to get his dream book to
find out what the dream portends. The
book has a number for everything man
wears, has, eats and sees. Things
shown in dream are looked up, and
the corresponding numbers are played
by the Italian in the weeks national
lottery. And If he doesn't win, says
Kenneth L. Roberts in the Saturday
Evening Post, he feels positive that
somebody with the Evil Eye has looked
at him and broken his chances.

Ry u. S. Public Health Service


 Send any question concerning health to the Information Bureau, U. s. Pub lie Health Service, Washington, D. c. Give your name and address and you will receive a personal reply.
 One of the most important things to do after having contracted a cold, is tc take a foot bath at a temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit, a good hot drink, either hot lemonade or hot milk, and a dose of relaxing medicine.
 If it is convenient, it is well to take full hot or warm bath from 100 to 1O5 degrees. and then go promptly to bed.
 You will be surprised how much time you can save by recognizing the first danger signal of the so-called common cold.
 As regards food. eat moderately. Whisky and heavy doses of quinine, which you frequently hear recommend ed, are decidedly objectionable, and do more harm than good.
 Remember, the so-calIed cold may be the beginning of an attach of influenza. or tuberculosis, or pneumonia, or, in children, not infrequently, of whoop- ing-cough or measles.
 A cold in a young infant is always dangerous. It spreads rapidly if not gotten promptly under control. and soon involves the bronchial tubes and
Arizona republican., 1921-01-17

the lungs, resulting in broncho-pneu- monia, which is very fatal disease in under five years of age.
 The mother who has a cold should always wear a mask when nursing her baby, so as to prevent the possibility of any droplets coming in contact with the child.
 Hemorrhoids
 What are piles? What is a remedy for them?
 Piles, or hemorrhoids, consist in a dilation of the veins about the anus. This dilation gradually forms an ir- regular mass, or clump of masses, which, more or less, obstruct the open ing of the bowels. In mild cases, local applications and regulation of the diet, may suffice to give relief.
 A radical cure can be effected by a surgical operation, which consists usu- ally in removal of part of the mass.
 Hard of Hearing
 I have a little girl 10 years old and since having her adenoids and tonsils taken out she has been hard of hear ing. I have had her to specialists and they all tell me she has catarrh of the nose and throat They have all treated her. but she does not improve any.
 The adenoids from which your little girl suffered were probably chiefly re- sponsible for her deafness and nasa catarrh.
 Though the removal of the adenoid: would relieve the obstruction to nasa breathing, the catarrhal condition hat probably become more or less chronic and hence may require considerabl, time for it's treatment. I should advise you to keep her un. der the care of the nose and threa specialist you have consulted.
