"Tho most deplorablo sight of all tlio miseries In Poland is the condi tion of the children," Dr. Plots said. "Infant mortality Is exceedingly high because of undor-nourlshment and the high perconlugo of contagious diseases. In largo part motherfl must resort to artificial feeding as they aro unable to nurse tholr children. In many cities I saw underfed children, suffering with dlscnses, wandering about the streets with no placo to go, bogging for bread." Tuberculosis has become prevalent among the Jewish children, largely due to the overcrowded conditions In which they are forced to live, their lack of nourishing food and warm clothing, according to Dr. Plotz. Typhus, which killed thousands of Jews last winter In the worst epidemic Poland has over seen will recur again, ho said, as conditions aro much worso uinong the Jews than ever before "Favus, n contagious skin disease, la now rapidly spreading from child to child," ho continued. "In Vllna thsj ate 11,000 cases nmong the Jew I'i children alone. Smallpox, too, la prevalent brougham Poland and the Ukraine and children, with' wide spread eruptions and temperature, have been seen running nbout the streets. There nre thousands of cases every year, which vaccination would prevent, but there Is no vaccine." Dr. Plotz told how in Lithuanian villages ho found children, six nnd seven years old, unable to wall; or talk, the result of mulntitrltlnn. In regions where whole towns had been destroyed during the war, be found famlllcH crowded In miserable dugouts. EDWARDS-REYNOLDS CO. .

Thou lone reality, when O, so long Life's unrealities have wrought us wrong: Ambition hath allured us, fame likewise, And all that promised honor in men's eyes 9 O It Throughout the world's evasions, wiles and shifts. Thou only bidest stable as thy gifts: A grateful king re-ruleth from thy lap, Crowned with a little soldier-cap: 9 A mighty general a nation's pride Thou givest again a rocking-horse to ride, And wildly glad he gloweth as the grim Old jurist with the drum thou givest himt GOO The sculptor's chisel, at thy mirth's command, Is as a whistle in his boyish hand; The painter's model fadeth utterly, And there thou standest, and he painteth thaet Most like a winter pippin, sound and fine And tingling-red that ripe old faa of thine, Set in thy frosty beard of cheek anJ chin As midst the snows the thaws of spring set in o Ho! Santa Claus our own since infancy Most tangible of all the gods that be! As first we scampered to thee now, as then, as children to thy heart again. CpyrlihtbyJmmfWkUcunblUIm 4-' I f - 1
