It was felt that it was no part of the duty of the council to interfere with their attempts to reduce the cost of living. He thought they should rather encourage such efforts. (Hear, hear.) (Notwithstanding all efforts of t[he German authorities in Brussels, there still appears at frequent intervals a little newspaper called "La: Libre Belgique" (says the "Fourth Estate"). Nobody knows who edits it or where it is published.

A copy always is delivered to each of the leading German officials. The aim of the paper, according to its own statement, is "to sustain the spirit and patriotism" of the Belgian people. Events of tne war are dealt with in airy fashion, and the people are shown why they need not be discourafed. NO COLD IS "NAZOL" PROOF!
