100,000, REFUGEES ON FLIGHT FROM TERROR OF MALAGA

EYE-WITNESS TELLS OF HORROR

The bombing of Almeria, Spain, and the terrible 100-mile flight of 100,000 refugees from besieged Malaga before it fol! to the Spanish rebels are described vividly in the following despatch written exclusively for the United Press by the first Ho is witness of both events to come out of the war zone. Dr. Norman Bethune, Montreal surgeon and head of the Spanish-American Blood Transfusion Instituto in Madrid.

By Dr. Norman Bethune..

Paris, Mar. 5.

One hundred thousand refugees fled Malaga to Almeria, Spain, only to be bombed by rebel planes in an attack that was, in my opinion, a deliberate attempt to slaughter a defenceless population.

As if the terrible torture of their exodus was not enough, they were treated to the most horrible experience conceivable, Ten thousand children under 10 years old had been removed from Malaga. Hundreds died from hunger and cold during the long flight. Thousands crept forward ahead of a fleeing army with bloody rags on their feet.

DENTIFRICE and MOUTH WASH

On your brush Vince looks and is used like any other dentifrice. But in your mouth in contact with moisture, thousands of tiny bubbles of oxygen are released in a pleasant, antiseptic cleansing action which reaches every part of your mouth.

For a mouth wash and gargle, about a teaspoonful of Vince is placed in a glass of lukewarm water. Rinsing the mouth vigorously and gargling with this solution aids in clearing away accumulations of sticky mucus and the fine bubbles of oxygen act as a deodorizing agent, leaving the mouth in truly clean, sweet and hygienic condition.
