Belgium and northern France, as well as Serbia, appear on the hunger map distinct from the rest of Europe because they stand in a different relation from the other nations to the people of the United States. America has for four years maintained the small war rations of Belgium and northern France and is already making special efforts to care for their increased after-the-war needs, which, with those ,of Serbia, must be included in this plan, are urgent in the extreme and mnct havA immediate relief.

Germany, on the other hand, need I not figure in such a map for Americans because there is no present indication that we shall be called on c.t all to talre thought for the food needs of Germany.

Enthusiastic Testimony. Everyone knows that to live we must have food. Food is the fuel thar keeps the human furnace burning Stop eating and the fires of life sooj die out. Is it any wonder then that when the system is not being properly fed a person becomes thin, pale, listless, run down and the day's work be comes a drudgery. It is worse than useless to try to tempt the appeLit' with- delicacies if the stomach is upable to digest the food it receives. Most bodily ills can be traced to iust this source. The stomach i3 out ' of order and the other organs, tissve? ! and muscles are not reaching t'.ic ? necessary food to build up the rav ages of the day. The result is these organs, tissues and muscles becom* . weak, opening the door to kid^e* trouble, constipation, rheumatism and ' a host of distressing complaints . These disorders can be helped only r by treating the cause, the stomach. "I have .suffered 20 years ;wit?i I pairs in the limbs, and rheumatism." i says Mrs. Frances Cox who is per-! haps one of the most generally known and best loved ladies of Greensboro's Salvation Army, in a signed statement just made for publication. "I couldn't even drink cold water " she continued, "as it would sour and come back up hot a a fire.
