How Prisoners Starve

, Tbe following from the New York American Is reproduced by tbe German American Alliance: Dreadrul is tbe fate of all prisoners of war. Young men anxious , to defend their country chafe and fret in enforced idleness. Officers on parole, bound by honor to remain inactive while others carry on the battle, are full of hopeless rage and regret. Saddest of all the sad prisoners of war are the old men and women, and the young children, gathered together in Russia, sent to Siberia. There they are Interned for the full period of the war as the official documents put it, but really UNTIL COLD AND STARVATION SETS THEM FREE in many cases. These prisoners of war in Siberia are not young and strong.' They are old men, women and children, whose only offense is tbe fact that they have German blood in their veins, that tbey were caught in Russia when the war broke out and were "interned" made prisoners. Their pitiful plight has even touched the heart of official Russia, although official Russia sends no help to them. Miljukoff, a member of tbe Russian Congress, utters these words In the Ouma: "Many of the Germans and Austro-Hungarians interned in Siberia old men, women and children, are left to starvation; others are threatened with disease, and, owing to insufficient clothing, are exposed to death by tbe icy cold. ' With the war and its horrors upon them, the different nations, and Russia especially have little time to attend to the old, the feeble and the children "exposed to death by the icy cold." ' , We publish here an appeal to all friends of humanity, to generous hearted Americans of German descent and all others, to contribute to tbe relief of these unfortunate victims of war. The appeal is one that no man should disregard, whatever his nationality. Whoever would give a crust of bread to a starving old man o carry a child in from the cold should contribute gladly to this fund. . Contributions will be sent through the good offices of trie American Red Cross. The Committee for Relief is made up of distinguished, competent men. The well-to-do should be glad to co-operate financially. The poorest man or woman can send at least a pair of warm woolen stockings for some woman in Siberia, a blanket for some old man, or a pair of shoes for a child.

ALLIANCE STARTS FUND FOR SIBERIAN PRISONERS

The first 1916 meeting of the "German-American Alliance," whose purpose It is "to create a better understanding among the descendants of all nations now American citizens," was a complete success under the leadership of its genial new president, Mr. Henry Nungesser. The following officers presided: Henry Nungesser, president; Hans N. Koll, secretary; Fred Hackman, treasurer. The following new members were admitted by acclamation: Fred Wiehmeyer, Mr. Kuhlman, farmer, Sam' Dunlap, Lee Ashley, Mr. Wessel, Ben Martin, George Brucker, W. Schoel, W. G. Holley, N. K. Kelley, H. E. Goles, L. Meredith, Mr. Meyerhofer, A. Stemple. Start Member Canvass. The president proposed' then that each member should bring a new member to the next meeting. For future meetings members will be notified by postal card b;- the secretary. Members who have not paid their small annual dues of only fifty cents annual by the next meeting, will be dropped without further ceremonies. For the rltef of the Siberian" prisoners, whose suffering is beyond description under Russian rule, that peculiar ally of "civilized and democratic England, the f. '.lowing names were proposed, these men representing different churches, lodges and societies, are to form a committee that will give a relief entertainment in the near future, the character of the entertainment to be determined by the committee: Mathias Mueller, St. Andrews' church; Fred Hackman, St. John's church; Gerhard Heitbrink, St. Paul's church; George Kemper, Trinity church ; George Eggemeyer, First English Lutheran church; Lou Niehwoehner, Second English Lutheran church; William H. Duning. St. John's Relief society; John Weist, I. O. O. F.; August Schrader, K. of P.; Henry Nolte, German Militaerverein; John Hafner, St. Joseph's Benevolent society; WilSchneider, Richmond Maennerchor;

MILITANT BORAX !

Plain soap is like a lazy mule. It has the power but It takes a lot of work to get it into action! Borax is a sort of driver for soap. Borax takes soap by the scruff of tbe neck and says, "Come on here and get busy." You will never know the value of soap until you see it working in connection with borax. But soap is pretty stubborn and it only works right when there is onepart borax and three-parts soap. It is impossible to get this quantity of borax into bar soap. It is only possible in borax soap chips. When you use "20 Mule Team Borax Soap Chips" this week for the family wash and various other cleaning about the house, you may be a little vexed to think of ever having tried to get along without it!

New Way to Wave the Hair Becomes Popular

That most women are quick to ap

preciate anything that will enhance their attractiveness, Is shown by the

greatly increased demands for liquid

silmerine, since its remarkable hair curling properties became known. Druggists everywhere report large

sales for this product.

Women are enthusiastic over liquid

silmerine, particularly because it en

ables them to acquire a curliness which is so beautifully natural in appearance, and not have to bun the

life out of the hair with a bot Iron

Also they find it a beneficial dressing for the hair. The liquid is so agreeable to use, being neither gummy nor greasy, and it Is so easy to apply with a clean tooth brush at night when the hair is down. The pretty wavy and

curly effect in the morning Is most delightful. As it takes only a little silmerine to produce the required effect,

a few ounces will last for weeks.

TO THE VOTERS OF WAYNE COUNTY: A little over a year ago aft

er my defeat as Republican nominee for Treasurer of Wayne County, I announced through the evening papers that I would again be a candidate for the Office of County

Treasurer in 1916. Since then I have given this announcement serious consideration and today I have decided to withdraw from the race. In withdrawing I am choosing between the Bank and Politics. Be-r lieving that the Banking Business is the better course for me to pursue, I have therefore decided to remain with the Second National Bank, where I hope my many friends will give me a call. Now I desire to thank my many friends Who so kindly supported me at the last election and also many, many thanks to those who unsolicited pledged me their support this time. And now as I make my Exit, may I always retain your friendship. Sincerely yours, ALBERT E. MOREL

whole meeting. Henry Nungesser, Fred Hackman, William H. Duning, locksmith, and the secretary will accept further cash donations from generous hearted citizens. -;- - ! -
