An un dent form of punishment In favor In the middle ages has been adopted In Belgium for Belgian women who were too friendly toward the Ger man Invaders or who listened to their lovo making. They have been shorn of their hair. In Bruges several wom en havo suffered this form of retri bution and either must remain In doors or patronize the wig makers. It Is known that this method bas been applied In at least one other place. The scenes attending the ap plication of tbls punlthmcat have been rather boisterous. Corporal punishment Is visited upon the pro-Germans among the Belgian men but few of these await ed the wrath of the Bolgian aven gers. They decamped before the Belgian troops reoccuplcd the cities and towns which had been held un der Gorman domination. Such cases as these have been re markably few. The wonder Is that there have not been more. The pro portion of renegades is so small as to reflect greater glory on poor little Belgium. 50 PER CENT CHILDREN PHYSICALLY UNFIT CIUCAOO. Dee. 13.

I suffered most all the time with fearful head aches and awful pains In my back and. In fact, I was racked with paltr all over. I lost my appetite, and roy norves became so shattered that I hardly knew what sleep was. When my husband lost his sight my duties, of course, became, doubly hard, and 'rhy health being bad already, I kept going down under the strain. . I did everything I could to keep out of bed but finally got to where I was Just up and down would sit up one day and he In bed the next and I even trad to give up my housework because I was so weak. Every day was Just .another, day of suffering and misery, for me." ; :. ; - "I yent down from one hundred and forty (founds to less than a hun dred, and was Just a frame with : scarcely strength to move around. , I finally made up my mind from what I rend about Tanlac to try It and t have certainly found It wonderful.
