Dutch Go Hungry
For Lack of Bread
(By Associated Press.)
AMSTERDAM, June 19.—“ Gover
nment bread” and “bread cards” on
June 1 this year became an institu
tion in Holland for the period of
the war, from which the people of
the Netherlands suffer much while
only looking on. The Dutch, however,
are not compelled to eat government
bread nor to take bread cards, nor
restrain their appetites by order. The
system here is .based on the philan
thropic principle and its introduction
does not imply any fear of a shortage
of flour or bread.
The idea of issuing bread cards
arose owing to the ever increasing
number of people in Holland whose
resources have been reduced since
war broke out in Europe. The draft
ing into the army of thousands of
bread winners in preparation to de
fend Holland against any attack on
her neutrality and the decreased
opportunities for those remaining at
home of finding employment as a
a sequel to the lack of raw materials
in various trades, have rendered the
poor as a rule poorer, while those
persons possessed of means have
become wealthier, since they have
been able to take advantage of op
portunities of making profit by laying
out their cash.
Immediately after the beginning of
hostilities the Dutch government
requisitioned all grain and since then
all imported grain has been consgned
to it. Many bakers took advantage of
this fact, and the price of bread in
Holland has risen enormously since
August. This increase naturally has
hit the laboring class more than any
other class of society, as manual
workers always consume a larger
proportion of bread than do more well
to do people.
In order to allay some of the dis
content of the poor brought about by
the increased cost of their prime nec
essity, the government recently asked
the municipalities all over the nation
to ask bakers in their various dis
tricts to indicate whether they were
willing to make and sell while wheat
bread at approximately 2 1-2 cents
(American) a pound, instead of near
ly 6 cents, the usual store price at this
moment. Large numbers of bakers
agreed to do so under the impulse of
a proposal by the government to
supply them with whole uncrushed
wheat through the municipalities at
a price averaging 9 florins ($3.60) per
100 kilograms, or about 220 American
pounds. The price varies considerab
ly in different places, according to
the cost of labor and fuel. In Vlaard
ingen, for instance, it is only 7 florins
($2.80), while in Rosermond it is
13 florins 50 cents ($5.40). The con
dition attached is that the bakers
furnish pure whole wheat bread, to
which may be added only yeast, salt
and water. From every 100 kilo
grams of bread, which they sell for
fl. 16.80 ($6.72).
The bread is sold at the low price
of two cents and a half American a
pound to families which apply to the
local authorities for bread cards. No
restrictions are placed on the amount
of money earned by a family which
desires a bread card, but only one
pound of bread is furnished daily for
each person over two years old he
longing to the family.
The extent of the poverty in the
towns may be judged from the fact
that mnay thousands of families have
applied for bread cards. In Amster
dam, for example, nearly 50,000 fam
ily cards have been issued; in Rotter
dam 30,000; in The Hague 20,000 and
in Leyden 15,000.
Before the war the normal price of
white bread in Holland was 18 Dutch
cents (just over 7 American cents)

NEAR DEATH
BY SMOTHERING
But Husband, With Aid of Cardui,
Effects Her Deliverance.
Draper, N C.—Mrs. Helen Dalton, ol
this place, says: “1 suffered for years,
with pains in my left side, and would
often almost smother to death.
Medicines patched me up for awhile
but then 1 would get worse again. Final
ly, my husband decided he wanted me to
try Cardui, the wcman’s tonic, so he
bought me a bottle and I began using it.
It did me more good than all the medi
cines 1 had taken.
I have induced many of my friends to
try Cardui, and they all say they have
been benefited by its use. There never
has been, and never will be, a medicine
to compare with Cardui. 1 believe it is
a good medicine for all womanly trou
bles.”
For over 50 years, Cardui has been re
lieving woman’s sufferings and building
weak women up to health and strength.
If you are a woman, give it a fair trial.
It should surely help you, as it hi; a
million others.
Get a bottle of Cardui to-day.

(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 19—The whole of
Greater London, with its population of

German at the special session of the
free schools, which open this month.
The educational authorities were
prepared to open classes in German in

hundred students are to take the study

SACRED MOUNT
CEIiTERJF WAR
(By Associated Press.)
JERUSALEM, June 19.—Mount Car
mel, whose lower slopes have already
been under French shell fire, is heav
ily entrenched by the Turks, although
the mountain is sacred alike to Chris
tians and Moslem. On the lower slopes
is situated the town of Haifa. The
German consulate in the town was
bombarded by the French in retalia
tion for the Germans dessecrating the
graves of the soldiers of Napoleon.
Carmel is a hill or rather a group of
hills, bounded on two sides by the
Mediterranean and overlookng the
plan of Kshon. Above the town stands
the famous Carmelte monastery. On
the summit of the Mount, the German
colony of Haifa, which came there
sixty years ago to await the second
coming of Christ has erected a mon
ument to commemorate the visit of
the Kaiser.
Haifa is an important point, as it is
the terminus of a branch of railway
tapping the Hedjaz line, which
crosses the desert regions between
Damascus and Medina. This railway,
spanning the Jordan river is used by
the Turks to transport Arab troops.

POLICE WOMEN
VALUABLE ASSET
IN GREAT BRITIAN
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, June 19.—N0 place is
more dangerous for an unattended
child than a public park, said Miss
Damer Dawson, one of the first police
women to be enrolled in England, in
speaking to the Woman's Suffrage
Constitutional society of London. Men
of criminal tendencies haunt the parks
and have been known to steal children
and keep them in cellars of old,
demolished buildings in the outlying
distrcts. In patrollng parks and such
districts, in patrolling parks and such
most useful service. Uniformed women
have also kept unruly girls under
control In the neighborhood of the
military camps. At the present time,
both Southampton and Hull are offi
cially employing women police.

"Has Dobbs disposed of Lis motor
cart” "Yea.” "I was not aware that
he had disposed of it.” "Oh, yes. He
disposed of It one morning between
the hours of three and four o’clock, in
