NFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen !

CHINESE KILL OFF LEPER SUFFERERS | | Missionaries Scck Aid in Preventing | Further Massacres in Future. (Correspondence of the Asso. Canton, China, June 1 Julius A. Kempf, a member of the American ' Reformed Presbyterian Church Mis- i sion at Tak Hing, on the West river in Shantung Province, has advised tho American consulate here of the com- plete extermination of a leper colony near that mission by recent revolu- tlonary soldiers, and sought the assist- ance of the consul in preventing a re- currence of such barbarits The leper colony consisted of thir- teen unfortunates who made their home on a houseboat on the West river near a temple in which the sold- fers were quartered. Without warning the soldiers fired upon the househoat, killing ten of the lepers. Two mem- bers of the colony jumped into the river and started for the opposite shore, but it is not known whether they escaped death. One leper es- caped into the hills. The soldiers then burned the househoat. Mr. Kempf and his associates had been assisting the leper colony for some time, supplying the sufferers with food and endeavoring to better their condition. It is not uncommon for leper colon- fes to be exterminated in China either by the military or civilians who resent having the unfortunates near them. In many cases the lepers provoke the at- tacks by begging insistently and threatening to touch persons who re- fuse to give them alms. HOW TO REDUCE YOUR WEIGHT A SIMPLE, SAFE, RELIABLE WAY.

A DISTRIBUTION BY | NEW SYSTEN S0ON Alter Conferences Between Minis- | ters of Interior and Agriculture (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Vienna, 29.—After lengthy conferences between the ministers of the interior and of agriculture for both Austria and Hungary, a system for the equable distribution of grain of all sorts throughout the monarchy for the vear 1916-17, beginning August 1, has been settled upon. It will differ from last year's method. and will ba accompanied by a rise in price: Under the new plan the distribution will be direct, and under no circum- stances through associations, guilds or other bodies that in the past have been the equivalent of ‘ middlemen. The war grain association for the em- pire will be the only organization en- titled to give mills orders on storage houses for the grain, and, when the grain has been milled, it must be turned over to the ipdividual munici- palities for distributién equably among the people. The rise in prices that is in pros- pect promises to he due to the mills than to the crops, which are far better than last year if not rec- ord breaking all around. The mills in Austria-Hungary want, this vear, six lironen instead of 4.20 as last vear for milling the same quantity of grain, June the cities are made effective. Reports from all over Austria-Hun- gary, especially along the lower Dan- ube and from Bulgaria and Rumania, indicate that there will be a bump- er crop. In sharp contrast to last vear, the weather has been almost ideal with about the right proportion of sunshine and rain, and with little or no late frost to nip early planting. The same conditfons, according to re- ports, prevail in Germany, which this vear not only will have a big crop on her own territory but also will har- vest an untold amount from the land in occupied regions—territory either that she did not occupy a year ago, or that was taken too late for cultiva- tion and planting. Experts here believe that the cen- tral powers will be almost the only countries now at war to benefit from this vear's big crops this because of the loss of territory on the one hand, and the lack of workmen and laborers on the other. The crops in certain parts of Russia it is claimed are about eighty per cent. behind nor- mal, while France and England, ~hich never did raise enough for themselves, will be at a disadvtntage in importing a sufficient quantity by reason of the growing scarcity of tonnage and the high freight and insurance rates. ALLIES, SAY, WAR HAS MADE INSANE Duke of Brunswick. — It has been widely reported that the Duke of Brunswick, husband of the German emperor’'s only daughter, has become insane as a result of his war experiences. The duke, it is said, never recovered from the shock of seeing the entire organization which which the men had entered thinking it afforded solid footing. Later he was in command of the Zieten hus- sars on the western front and was reported missing. Ernest Augustus, Duke of Brunswick and Luneburg, a prince royal of Great Britain and Tre- land, was married to Princess Victoria Louise In Berlin on May 24, 1913, He and grandson of King George V. of Hanover.

Paris, July 10.—Increased drinking, resulting from the relaxation of the measures limiting hours for the sale of liquor to soldiers, and of other restrictions, has been simultaneous with a revival of crime. All soldiers were until recently excluded from drinking places excepting from 11 to 12 a. m. and from 6 to 8 p. m. Soldlers on leave in Paris are now al- lowed access to wineshops at all hours of the day. Since the proprietors spare themselves the trouble of de- termining whether a soldier is on leave or not, the new rule admits sol- diers of the garrison of Paris as well as those on leave. Drunken soldiers are to be seen on the streets for the first time since the war began and an occasional brawl among the sol- diers is reported. Thefts, burglaries, night hold-ups and murders are frequent. Three Jewelry establishments were rifled in one week, one of them losing a hun- dred thousand dollars worth of precious stones and jewelry. A bar-room brawl between street loafers resulted in the death of one of them and a well known policeman was murdered in the street. The burglars seem to take a mali- cious pride in attacking the homes of public men. They broke into the apartments of Monsieur Malvy, min« ister of the interior, who is the su- preme head of the French police. Then they burglarized the home of former Finance Minister Caillaux. This recrudescence of crime is said to be largely the work of deserters, many of whom, home on leave, were turned from their duty by drink and are obliged to live in the ‘‘under world” to escape punishment. RESIDENTS OF CORFU “SHAKE THEM DOWN” Emulate the Deeds of Their Venetian Ancestors By Jumping Prices On Foreigners in Distress. (Correspondence of the Asso. Press.) Corfu, Greece, July 3.—The *Corfi- otes” as the Greeks call the inhabi- tants of the Island of Corfu are out to make their fortunes during the brief sojourn of the 150,000 Serbs and some 50,000 French, British, TItallans and Greeks, strangers to the island. The Corflotes are of Venetlan blood—de- scendants of a long line of pirates and corsairs,—and possessed of a roman- ticism which enables them instead merely of doubling their prices, to put them up ten times—and smile blandly about it. The Serbs came out of Albania with ragged uniforms and blankets. They had to buy everything anew, and tt Corfiote was there to furnish it. The Serbs are well pald (out of the coffers of the entente) and it is impossible for them to send money home to their families even if they want to. Conse- quently, the Corfiote asks whatever prices he likes and the Serb, having nothing else to do with the .acmey, generally pays it. The readiest get- rich-quick operations in Corfu, hov ever, were speculative, not commer- cial. When the Serbs arrived on the island, a beaten army without a coun- v, what they brought with them in the shape of money was largely Ser- bian paper currency. The Corflotes generally would not accept it but a few wise heads had the real instinct of their trading ancestors and bought the Serbian paper in at 37 centiries the dinar, a depreciation of 63 per cent. When the allies decided to guarantee the reconquest of Serbia and the re- fitting of the Serbjan army began in earnest, there was a boom in Sorbian paper. Instead of 37 centimes the dinar, it brought 90 and finally, for all practical purposes, par. In a few weeks those who had bought at 37 ‘had almost doubled their capital.
