111E HEAVIEST CURSE OF IT
TUe first report of the Anglo
American relief commission, en
gaged in the work of saving Bel
gians frrrn starvation, has just been
issutd. A few Btatementa of fact
from that document "will help us all
the better to understand how Bel
gium bears the heaviest curse of
this terrible war.
Since the relief work began this
commission has handled and dis
tributed 100,000 tous of food stuffs,
3000 ton.- of clothing and supplies
th;>' have been procured with cash
donatiuiis which have not been esti
mrted save in value. It is said that
$50,000,000 represents the value of
tlie foo l distributed and $9,000,000
M,e value of other supplies.
The worst of it is that the relief,
so far given, has been wholly inade
quate, and is rapidly becoming
more $?, if we may put it. If the
war c.MKinues it is predicted that
befort the summer is gone starva
tion up. n an extensive scale can
ni t bo avoided, even though the
world respond ever so generously
to the deruauds of the situation.
The ver* conditions of war pre
vent 'he maximum of relief with
the aieaus at hand, and misery that
all alo'ij has been fearfully inten
sive will increase rather than dim
inish. There is no measuring the
M'.'ght the war hns put on a peace

KINDNESS lO ANIMALS
A person perhaps feels more com
fortable ;f be never stops to think
whether the animals around him
are living comfortable lives or not
Mso he ij more popular among
certain classes cf people. The
story is told of a certain young wo- |
man who used te warn drivers of
norses tout they did not care for
fheir animals properly. As a re
sult, t very grocer's boy in the town
made it a practio; to crack his
whip vio'futb: over the horse's bead
every time he saw this earnest pro
tagonist if the dumb beasts.
Cut k >idness to animals is a
good irausc. Tl.e American Hu
mane society is planning a country
wide observance, having appointed
May 2"j as Humane Sunday, and the
week i/^'ore is "Be Kind to Animals
Week." These occasions are well
worth talking about in day schools
and Sunday schools. Anyone men
tall v right, however, will be kind
to animals fifty-two weeks in the
year.
In almost any town a certain pro
pot tint of the horses look ill fed.
S*'!l more of them are left out in hot
days iu -jie broiling sun and with no
protection from insects. In cold
weather many horses are imperfect
>;• covered. Two thirds ol the people
•w;o koer dogs or cats never think
ti give them any water, which they
.r forced to pick up from drains
ot mil'' pjddles. Drivers permit
horses to wear ill fitting and chaf
ing harnesses. And so on for a
long catalogue of offenses against
voic-less side of creaiion.
Folic e officers in most places are
not apt to enforce the cruelty to
uiimals laws very strenuously. They
auve troubles enought with human
animals. To most people a horse
is a hcrse and a dog a dog. Few
are int rested enough to give keen
ettoug" inspection to individual
twists of bu-rden to detect signs of
n»»glec. or abuse.
The American feeling for person
al liberty is strong. The man who
gives fcu horse only half enough
to eat rMv n ts being called in ques
tion for it. He thinks humanitar
ians shoc't' mind their own busi
ness. The only forms of life in i
this world who get justice are'
those ■' o can speak for themselves, j
the auionl kingdom needs friends
and allocates.—Ex. I
Chief Need of Railways
Is Long Term
Loans
Dr. H. PARKER WILLIS, Secretary
of the Federal Reserve Board
THE federal reserve act is not a
measure which has to do with
long term investment of capi
tal, and those who look to it as a
direct means of relief for manufac
turing enterprises, LIKE THOSE
WHO LOOK TO IT AS A MEANS
OF PROVIDING AGRICULTUR
AL RESOURCES, MUST INEV
ITABLY EE DISAPPOINTED.
The direct inference is a thought
which has often been suggested
within the past year or two in well
informed quarters, but which has
never been emphasized so positive
ly as today. This is that above all
things else it is imperative to turn
the funding of railway obligations
into long term securities and to
place those securities in the hands
of the public.
It has been equally obvious that
the credit of railroads was best safe
guarded and the stability of their
funded indebtedness was most
strongly assured when the securi
ties were widely distributed and
their bonds held by bona fide in
vestors, who bought them because
they sought a safe investment for
their funds and intended to hold
them because of the income produc
ing power of the securities.
WASHING WITHOUT WATER
.a Like TttIdk to Get Rid of Dnndrnfl
Without Herplcide.
Did you ever see any one trying to
*ash themselves without soap or
water?
If you did what would you say of
him?
It Is every bit as foolish to try to get
rid of Dandruff and to prevent Bald
ness by feeding the germs which cause
It. with Canthrarliles. Vaseline. Glycer
ine and similar substances which form
:he principal Ingredients of most so
-alled Hair Vigors.
Xewbro's Herplcide Is successful be
cause it attacks and kills the parasitic
germ which feeds on the hair roots.
It Is the original and only genuine
scalp germicide manufactured.

HANDS TWO YEARS
Came on Bod). Scratched and Be

tirely Healed.
E. 1914—11th Ave., Spokane, Wash.—
"My edema began on my hands by a
breaking out. followed with a distressing
itching. Later on it camc on my body which
was a great source of annoyance to me. It
first appeared as a rash and later as pimples.
I scratched until they became irritated and
this was followed by swelling of my hands
which were especially annoying at night
and I was often kept awake. My clothing
irritated my body. 1 avoided putting my
hands in water as it was irritating and I
had some one help me with my work.
"I used many simple remedies, sulphur
and lard and gun powder with only tem
porary relief. The eczema lasted about
two years, but it was only a short time after
I commenced to use the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment until I found relief. I was entirely
healed in a short space of time." (Signed)
Mrs. Sue B. Shore, November 9,1914.

Comforting Words
1 Many an Alaskan Household Will
Find 'rtifin So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
L-ary disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf
fered will prove comforting words
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run dowu. 1 read about Doan's Kid
ney Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever 1
have taken cold on my kidneeys
since, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
