Nation of Inactivity 1
o
New York, Feb. 14.?The war re- a
duced Belgium's population by about b
100,000 and her condition presents a ^
situation without parallel in history, a
says a report issued tonight by the e
Rockefeller foundation from its war
relief commission sent to Belgium
last November to observe the effect ^
of the war on noncombatants.
The agricultural regions are tie
vastated and the food supply practi- ^
cally cut off. The report says: ^
"Yet if one is to understand the Bel- ^
gian problem it is perhaps necessary r
to emphasize not the destitution of u j
few hundred thousand people to the
suddenly enforced inactivity of a
strong and healthy nation of 7,000,000."
The destruction of stock is of great t
er importance than the destruction of j
houses, the report declares. "The ,
peasants," it continues, "are in the ^
greatest terror that the few animals
that remain to them may be taken."
Regarding the agricultural situa- j
tion the commission found that autumn
planting has been done some- .
how, and that it is conceivable that
Belgium may continue to raise most
of her own potatoes, fruits and fresh
vegetables.
"In France," says the commission, i
"we found that it was clearly the policy
of the German occupation behind
the fighting lines to promote the
planting of next year's crops and to
spare milch cows and breeding animals."
i ne (lerman occupation nas requisitioned
{rrain, canned goods, food supplies,
live stock and horses from
towns and countryside. It is also
requisitioned such things as cotton
and woolen stores, copper fixtures and
implements in some factories, motor
cars, gasoline and any machinery
that can he used in the manufacture
of arament.
In smaller places and in some larger
towns it appears that nearly all
the remaining houses have been looted,
the report says.
The collapse of the hanking exchange,
the commission found to be
due to the fact that reserves of coin
and negotiable securities were re
moved in advance of the invasion.
"German requisitions are paid for
not in money but by receipts which
are said to be often of the most informal
sorts," the reports declare.
"Commerce and industry are at a
standstill. The only trades people
who do any business are those who
sell food or clothing."
In connection with the alleviating
iafluences, the report concludes:
"The disaster is shared by all. The
mergency has summoned every
ourageous virtue into expression.
Futhermore the universal condition of

he community automatically distrib- 1
tes the burden. There is general
loratorium for the very poor. Tennts
pay no rent and though the
andlords are thereby impoverished,
he tenants are not evicted. The sale
f distilled liquors has been stopped
nd alcoholism has been reduceu.
.lights are out at night, places of
musement and concourse are closed
nd every one has to be at home
arly."
The readers of this paper will be
ileased to learn that there is at least
ne dreaded disease that science has
leen able to cure in all its stapes,
iiul that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
^ure is the only positive cure now
mown to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease '
equires a constitutional treatment.
Iall's Catarrh Cure is taken interlally,
acting directly upon the blood
ind mucous surfaces of the system,
hereby destroying the foundation of
;he disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constituion
and assisting nature in doing its

GREENVILLE PLANT
TO MAKE UNIFORMS
Judson Mills to Weave Cloth for
Dresses of VVinthrop Girls.
Greenville, Feb. 11.?The Judson
mills of Greenville will make the
goods for spring uniforms at Winthrop
college. B. E. (leer, president
of the mills, received a letter today
stating that his samples had been
adopted by the college.
Some time ago Winthrop began
investigating the advisability of
having its uniforms made in ."^ouih
Carolina mills. A number of manufacturing
plants submitted sam
pies, but the Judson mill goods was
selected. The order will be for
J,000 yards of reception voile finished
in pure white.
Croup and Whooping Cough
Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire, Wis.,
says: "Foley's Honey and Tar Com
I'WUIIU Luifu ?ny i?uy ui ct very s^vcn*
attack of croup after other remedies
had failed. Our milkman cured his
children of whooping cough." Foley's
has a forty year record of similar
cases. Contains no opiates. Always
insist on Foley's. Sold by all dealers
everywhere.
Owing to the dry, cold atmosphere,
there are no infectious diseases
known in Greenland. What a fine
place Greenland would he for "keep
well clubs" of various kinds!

ANTI-SHIPPING LIQUOR
BILL BECOMES A LAW
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 9.?Delivery
of more than one ruart of whiskey
or other intoxloa'ing liquor to
any one person in Alabama will be
prohibited after June 30 under the
Denson anti-shipping bill which became
effective today. The measure became
a law automatically, having remninod
nn?i(mnd hv flnvprnnr IT#?n_
derson for seven days after i'ts passage
by the legislature. The law
directs transportation companies not
to make liquor deliveries oftener than
once a month.
A bill which would prohibit newspapers
in Alabama from publishing
liquor advertisements was returned
to the legislature with the governor's
veto. It has been made the
special order of business Wednesday
when an effort probably will be mad(!
to over-ride the veto. The statewide
prohibition bill recently was
passed over Governor Henderson's
veto.

CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! [
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like |
dynamite on your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
/hat calomel is. It's mercury; quick ilver.
Calomel is dangerous. It
rashes into sour bile like dynamite,
ramping and sickening you. Calomel
ttacks the bones and should never be
iut into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
onstipated and all knocked out and
lelieve you need a dose of dangerous
alomel just remember that your
Iruggist sells for 50 cents a large
ottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
s entirely vegtable and pleasant to
ake and is a perfect substitute foi
alomel. It is guaranteed to start
rour liver without stirring you up
nside, and can not salavate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
lick the next day; it loses you a day's
vork. Dodson's Liver Tone straightins
you right up and you feel great.
3ive it to the children because it is
jerfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
