Nation of Inactivity
New York, Feb. 14.?The war 1
duced Belgium's population by abo
500,000 and her condition presents
situation without parallel in histoi
says a report issued tonight by t
Rockefeller foundation from its w
relief commission sent to Belgiu
last November to observe the effc
of the war on noncombatants.
The agricultural regions are <j
vastated and the food supply prac
cally cut off. The report says:
"Yet if one is to understand the Bi
gian problem it is perhaps necessa
to emphasize not the destitution of
few hundred thousand people to t
suddenly enforced inactivity of
strong and healthy nation of 7,00<
000."
The destruction of stock is of gre
er importance than the destruction
houses, the report declares. "T
peasants," it continues, "are in t
greatest terror that the few ani.m
that remain to them may be taker
Regarding the agricultural situ
tion the commission found that a
tumn planting has been done son
how, and that it is conceivable th
Belgium may continue to raise mc
of her own potatoes, fruits and fre
vegetables.
"In France," says the commissk
"we found that it was clearly the pi
icy of the German occupation behi
the fighting lines to promote t
planting of next year's crops and
spare milch cows and breeding ai
mals."
The German occupation has requi
tioned grain, canned goods, food su
plies, live stock and horses fr<
towns and countryside. It is ai
requisitioned such things as cott
and woolen stores, copper fixtures a
implements in some factories, mol
ears, gasoline and any machine
that can be used in the manufacti
of arament.
In smaller places and in some h
ger towns it appears that nearly
the remaining houses have been lo<
ed, the report says.
The collapse of the banking e
change, the commission found to
due to the fact that reserves of c<
and negotiable securities were
moved in advance of the invasion
"German requisitions are paid I
not in money but by receipts whi
are said to be often of the most
formal sorts," the reports declare,
"Commerce and industry are at
standstill. The only trades peoj
who do any business are those w
sell food or clothing."
In connection with the alleviati
i?flwences, the report concludes:

LLE, S
EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE!
Calomel is quicksilver and acts like
dynamite on your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quicksilver.
Calomel is dangerous. It
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need a dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for 50 cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegtable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute foi
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
inside, and can not salavate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because i't is
perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe.
