GERMAN CRUELTY Interesting Story Told by a Belgian Mother and Her Children. NOW LIVE IN ROANOKE For Two Days the Family Dodged German Bullets —Escaped at Night. In a small but neat heme near the

Wabash station in Rounoke r< side.•Mr. and Mrs. Colpanert and their two children Martha and Kelsey, a Belgium family whose home in their native laud was destroyed when the German soldiers swept the Belgian territory in whf< h they resided. The husband had served his bit in the Belgian army leaving that eoun•ry just a few days before the war broke out. in the few words of broken English that she has picked up since coining to the little town of Roanoke from the stricken country of Belgium. Mrs. Emma Colpanert tells with tears in her eyes of the cruelties heaped upon the citizens of her native land by the kaiser’s soldiers. She saw one little Belgian boy, just the age of her own. his hands severed at the wrists by a sword in the hands of a German of-

ficer. She saw the body of one of her • neighbor women after death came from wounds inflicted by a bayonet I carried by a savage Hun, and just a short distance from her home ten little lads were buried under a pile of • straw in which they were playing, ■ coal oil poured over them and the ■ match touched that caused terrible deaths. These are just a few of the 1 acts as related by one who was there and Is now’ glad she is in a land of peace, although hoping and praying that the war will end that she may i return to see the remains of what , was once |he happiest home on earth j to her. 1 For two days. Mrs. Colpanert and her children. Martha, six. and Kelsey, i four, dodged the German bullets and they stole away In the night time while the flames from burning houoes and barns were lighting up the sky. Little Martha now able to speak excellent English for one of her years in spite of her short stay in the states, doesn't want anything to do with the Germans and she expresses herself in no mild terms. Even though a child, she realizes how close she came to be a victim of one of the savages. Stealing away frem her mother’s watchful eye for a minute she ran in front of

a Hun rifleman. She looked into the barrel of his gun and crying. "Don’t shoot me.” fled to her mother's arms and out of sight of the trooper. The Colpanert family lived in the rural district of Belgium, just a short distance from Ypres, whefc some of | the fiercest fighting of the world | struggle has been waged. Living with Mrs. Colpanert and her chilren were her father and mother and brothers and sisters, the father conducting a country saloon. The German army swept into the territory on Saturday evening, taking possession of everything. In the Colpanert residence they carried away all of the potatoes, other eatables in sight and some of the furniture. In other places they looted the . homes and then set fire to them. Bel--1 gian soldiers resisted the invasion but were not equal to the task. Just outside the door of her home, Mrs. Colpanert saw five of the kaiser’s men killed by the Belgians. Until Sunday evening the Germans held full sway. Shooting the inhabitants, including little children. One sister of Mrs. Col-

panert's happened outside the door : nd in an instant a rifleman pressed his gun against her body. Without words she dared him to shoot, not moving a muscle. For seme reason, he turned and walked away, allowing her to go free. On Sunday evening the French soldiers arrived on the 1 scene and bullets filled the air. The ■Germans were forced back slightly, allowing Mrs. Colpanert, her children iand other members of the family to ■ gather up a few belongings and start for saftey behind the French lines.

It was 1 o’clock in the morning when they started to walk and as they went they could see burning buildings in every direction. Their own barn was in flames a few minutes later. In , straw stacks they hid from German , pickets, not tarrying long, however, i At 4 o’clock in the afternoon they reached safety among French people, having had practically nothing to eat from the time they had started. One i of the first acts was an effort to buy bread, but this was refused them, the storekeeper telling them all he had was for the soldiers. The family, like ! many others, had no friends or belongings that would flt them up in a

h< m<>. but . hey “w ere titkon core of by ihe French living at Baupantnc for live months and then moving into the interior of France, where Mr Cid parert received the joyous word io join her husband in the states. They ; ailed from Bordeaux landing In Now York after a nine days' trip. Huntington Herald. PROPRIETOR PLEASED Highly Praises Donated Herbs. Fort Wayne, Ind.—Mr. Gus Chagopulos, wjto jij well known in this city and who conducts the Star Hat a.’d Shoe Cleaning Shop, 830 Calhoun street, and who is well liked for Inn integrity and who has well merited the respect of his fellow citizens, for

some time he has felt generally Hindi wn. It was hard for him to get up in the morning, his appetite failed him and his body would not function regularly, in fact, he needed a good tonic, something to rebuild his nerves, to revitalize his body. Deeply interested in the demonstration of Donated Herbs, he purchased n bottle and used It exactly as per instructions. and after a very short time he stated to us that he felt much better. that he could eat and sleep regular and Ircnated Herbs is just what he had teen wanting for a Jong time. An excellent tonic. People In a general rundown condition should follow in the foot-steps of Mr. Chagopulos. Sleeplessness, headaches and stomach trouble, billious- ** ness and all those ailments that great-j ly interfere with your efficiency willl

quickly disappear if you use Ironated Herbs. Ironated Harbs is for sale at Callow ■ & Kohne’s Drug Store. Decatur, ■ Indiana. advt THE DEADLY “BEST” SUGAR A substitute for ordinary sugar is dealt with in an article published by. the Berliner Ttigeblatt, which states; that negotiations are at present going cn between the war food bureau and the imperial sugar office, on the issue of which depends whether the chemically pure white lump? and castor sugar are to be replaced by raw sug r, to which the name of "best" sugar (cdelzucker) is to be given. The motive for this innovation is to economize in coal. Sugar factories are to be amalgamated. This raw sugar contains 44 per cent of molasses, 1 per cent organic and 4 per cent inorganic foreign substances and it is considered by experts as a breeding ground for bacteria of every' kind. The sticky, viscous nature of this sugar also adds to Its objectionable qualities. It is not suitable for jam making, and gives a peculiar flavor to eoffee, tea, etc. The Tageblatt says that this economy in coal will threaten the health of thousands, and hopes the nation will be
