BELGIUM STANDS I
ALONE IN GRIEF
Never Han Country Been So Stricken.
Nation of Inactivity
New York, Feb. 14.?The war reduced
Belgium's population by about |
600,000 and her condition presents a |
situation without parallel in history,
says a report issued tonight by the I
Rockefeller foundation from its war J
relief commission sent to Belgium
last November to observe the effect
of the war on noncombatants. j
The agricultural retrions are tie I
vastated and the food supply practically
cut off. The report says:
"Yet if one is to understand the Belgian
problem it is perhaps necessary
to emphasize not the destitution of u
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
er importance than the destruction of
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 situation
the commission found that autumn
planting has been done somehow,
and that it is conceivable that
Belgium may continue to raise most
of her own notatoes. fruits anH frt?sh
vegetables.
"In France," says the commission,
"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."
The German occupation has requisitioned
grain, 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
ears, gasoline and any machinery
that can be used in the manufacture
of arament.
In smaller places and in some lar- j
jter towns it appears that nearly all
the remaining houses have been looted,
the report says.
The collapse of the banking exchange,
the commission found to be
due to ihe fact that reserves of coin
and negotiable securities were removed
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."
fn 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

the community automatically distributes
the burden. There is general
moratorium for the very poor. Tenants
pay no rent and though the
landlords are thereby impoverished,
the tenants are not evicted. The sale
of distilled liquors has been stopped
and alcoholism has been reduceu.
Lights are out at night, places of
amusement and concourse are closed
and every one has to be at home
early."

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stapes,
and that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional disease
requires a constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative powers that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for

Croup and Whooping Cough
Mrs. T. Neureuer, Eau Claire, Wis.,
says: "Foley's Honey and Tar Compound
cured my hoy of a very severe
attack of croup after other remedies
had failed. Our milkman cured his
children of whooping cough." Foley's
has a forty year record of similai
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

ANTI-SHIPPING LIQUOR
BILL BECOMES A LAW
Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 9.?Delivery
of more than one quart of whiskey
or other intoxicating liquor to
any one person in Alabama will be
prohibited after June 30 under the
Penson anti-shipping hill which hecame
effective today. The measure became
a law automatically, having remained
unsigned by Governor Henderson
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 marfd
to over-ride the veto. The statewide
prohibition bill recently was
passed over Governor Henderson's
veto.
