AN APPEAL FOR CLOTH
ING FOR BELGIUM RELIEF
THE DESTITUTE OF BELGIUM
AND NORTHERN FRANCE
NEED YOUR SPARE
CLOTHING.
Back of the German wall that has
hemmed in JJelgium and part of
Northern France, ton million human
beings look to us for clothing, as
well as food. We, who are well
clothed, can hardly appreciate in
what dire need these people are for
lack of necessities. Stocks o'f cloth
ing and raw material are long since
exhausted. There are no imports
other than those the Commission for
Relief in Belgium has been permit
ted to make, and these never have
been sufficient. T!i3 world is now
short of both clothing and raw ma
terial, so the Commission can no
longer purchase what is needed. But
YOU can GIVE it.
Every household in the land ha--some
spare clothing, worn or out
grown, of little i:e here, but des
perately needed by the destitute
there. This extract frcm a letter
if a well-to-do lady of Brussels
shows the conditions exactly:
"Perhaps y?m will laugh when
vou hear that I wear a cloak made
frcm my husband's garde civique
overcoat, a waist made from his
football shirt, aud a skirt made o!
i dyed bed sheet.
Mother has a suit made of the
table-cloth, J. and M. have cloakf
made of woolen blankets, and S. '
Iress made cf burlip. But all thi;
:s only amusing in comparison witb
be wretchedness of the population.
After ail, v.e remain calm and con
fident of victory."
A recent Brussels advertisemnei
ays: "I will give up to 125 francs
($25.00) for now or worn beC
sheets." There is an immediate
need for every sort of garment,
blankets, sheets, and shoes.
The verj wonderful results oi
tho clothing campaign of Marcl
assisted in helping to meet the de
mands; but when we realize that
here are ten million inhabitants in
the occupied regions, most of whom
must look to the outside world foi
protection against the rigors of
winter, it is seen that we cannot
end too much. As long as the wat
lasts Belgium and occupied France
mist deprmd chiefly on America
for aid. To insure the steady sup
ply of garments which are so much
needed, we appeal again to the gei
erosity of the American public to
give, and give largely.
THE EELGLiN RELIEF CALL.
The Cass County quoto for the
Belgian Relief Call will amount to
IS SO pounds, and the Plattsmouth
mare of this quoto will be twenty
per cent of the total amount, so let
everyone respond, and do their bit
when called upon. The following
are a few items that are most need
?d: Warm clothing, partially worn or
discarded, which can be made into
suitable clothing for the homeless
Belgians fcr the coming winter, is
especially wanted, also blankets and
Hnens are greatly needed.
Anyone having contributions and
rannot deliver them to the E. P. Lutz
store, on Sixth street, which will be
open Friday and Saturday, can call
Miss lone Dovey. phone 161, or Mrs.
E. J. Richey, phone 375 who will
call for them.

PROFIT FROM COUMTRY'S LOSS
German Firm cf Daimler Has Justly
Earned the Execration of Its
Countrymen.
The latest German papers to reach
this country are tievotpg considerable
?pace to the so-called "Daimler case,"
which has stirred all Germany. The
principal character of the case is the
Daimler firm of Stuttgart, which is
one of the largest German concerns
manufacturing automobiles and air
plane motors.
The German public was informed
that the German military authorities
had taken over the entire control of
the Daimler works. The reasons for
taking over the Daimler factories by
the government were not explained till
the matter was taken up in the reiehs
tag. It was brought out that the Daim
ler firm repeatedly without sufficient
reasons, had raised its prices of auto
mobiles sold to the German govern
ment; that it bad refused to allow the
government to inspect its books, and
that its profits ran as high S 1,500
per cent, while the firm pretended that
its profits did not amount to more than
11 per cent.

Ways of Utilizing Tomato Refuse.
A recent bulletin of the U. S. de
partment of agriculture brings the
'act that vast quantities of tomato
efuse accumulating each year at to-uato-pulping
factories can be reduced
o two products viz., fixtnl oil and meal
-bcth of which may be made cv.m
nercially useful. The oil from the
;eods is suitable for use as an edible
jil or as a soap oil, and by proper
reatme-nt cau be made useful as a
Trying oil for paint and varnish. The
neal has valuable qualities as stock
feed. The department urges the es
tablishment of reducing plants and the
idupiion of a co-operative plan of man
lfacture in, the regions where tomn
cis are extensively used to make cat
urs and soups, the seeds end skins
eing at present discarded as useless.
The utilization cf tomato wastes seems

Italy than elsewhere.
Literature Among the Doctors.
The New York Medical Journal
deigns to enter the field of literary
criticism via the "Nine Humorous
Tales" of Anton Checkov. In review
ing this volume the medical authority
remarks:
"For many years France led the
way in short story writing, though
many of them resembled delicate wa
ter color sketches having an unanalyt
icsil charm. . . . Then came the
American authors, who have equaled
the French, but in a different way.
Their short stories are like powerful
sketches in black and white. . .
The inspiration of these profundities
lies in the fact that Checkov was once
a doctor. This explains Checkov's pe
culiarities perfectly. lie is a doctor
as well as a Russian.
