TO RESUME CITY CLINICS
Work Was Discontinued in Topeka
During Dlphthcria Epidemic.

After three months of inactivity due
to the epidemic of diphtheria in To-
peka, two of the free municipal clinics
are TO be resumed next week.
During October, when the diph
iberia was at its height the baby clinic
and the nutrition clinic were discon-
tinued. The doctors in charge of the
two clinics who donate their services,
had their time so fully occupied in
combating diphtheria that they could
not keep up the clinics.
The first nutrition clinic since Oeto
Der will be held in the clinic room at
the city hall Wednesday afternoon of
next week, from 3 o'clock to o'clock,
under tina direction of DIR. r. J. Miller.
city physician.
The baby clinic will be held Thurs
day afternoon between the hours of 2
O'Clock and 4 o'clock. 1t viii be in

To Relieve Foreian Suffering

TO the Editor Of the Evening Public LCdnCr:
Sir-More people are dying in this wear,

Russia the Near East and Austria, than
were killed in all tho four years of battle
The public In America has been slow to
realize this or to feel its own responsibility.
ConErcsa has az q late day taken CoGni-
zance, though in a small way of this con-
dition. and yet we are told that farmers are
burning their corn and have over 300. 900, 900
bushels that they cannot sell
Why should not Congress do something to
holp these starving people? It has not
husltatcd to take the peoples taxes for II
S43. 900, 900 battleshp that we shall scrap
and we may be assured that less than half
that sum to relieve the agony OF Russia
and incidentally. TO relieve our farmers will
do more in tn. future to protect our COun-
try from resentment and contempt than any
Investment that might make.
But there is one feature OF the European
misery that Congress could relieve without
spcndinS a cent. We have previously loaned
Austria S24, 600. 900 for food we shall
never be paid unless we postpone our claims.
Her sixteen other creditors have agreed, |
understand, TO postpone their claims for
twenty years II we agree. and thus enab bio
Austria TO develop watcrpower and to get
upon her feet. All action has been held up"
for six months owing to the failure OF our
Government TO postpone It's claims in like
manner. Conditions in Austria are again
frightful and congregational dallynE and red
tame are making us unwittIngly responsible
for the daily excess in mortality in Vienna.
Let u food Of letters max" Congress realize
that 4 stroke Of the pen could relieve untold
misery. JANE r. PlTTLBRIrK.
