If you should asies Mt mere Than uoce we wan he certain of giving our aubsorthers = perfect serviee—and The Most Hideous Suffering of Man: HUNGER! Hungry—do you know what that means? No; not a pleasant edge to appetite—not that relish with which you await dinner after a day's work, when you lean tack in the easy chair and sniff the delicious odors that an- nounce the evening meal, and say, “My! but I'm hungry.” Yot that. Were you ever hungry with the hunger that bites and gnaws, that makes men snarl like dogs, show their teeth like a pack of famished wolves, their eyes to narrow to little blaz ing points of fire? Were you ever hungry with a hunger that had eclipsed everything else in the whole world—am- bition, virtue, gold, power, wife, children—ali forgotten? Do you know what “starving” means? In another column today we publish a picture that is a human document, Look at it. Study it. Think about it It shows a little handful of Chinese. There are 10,000,000 In the central provinces of China an area of 40,000 square miles, larger than the state of Ohio, is stricken with utter | phone famine. jt | bopelens rpotury shelter Last autumn it rained forty days. Rivers overflowed. | ,, A SMART COSTUME FOR’ EASTER ions of Cropa, standing and garnered, were destroyed. Mil homes were swept away. Food became scarce, then scarcer, Domestic animals died. There was nothing for them to cat. Their dead bodies furnished food for living people. The government tried to send relief. Officials cut their own sal- aries. The empress sent money. Still the famine spread. Horrible sickness set in. The people, mad with hanger, ate grass, roots, bark, the wadding of cotton garments. At last they made soup of weeds. Today all the weeds have been eaten. The sickness is everywhere, and of more frightful kinds. At this ntoment there are more than 1,000,000 starv- ing men, women and children in the relief camps, which are utterly unable, through lack of funds, to cope with the situ- ation. There are millions and millions more unable to reach even these tiny oases in a desert of famine. A cry for help bas gone out to the world Who is our BROTHER? America is responding, the president one of the first. The Christian Herald, with a magnificent charity, has sent more than $100,000, and has pledged $50,000 monthly for the next three months. The Red Cross Society has sent $10,000 in money, $10,000 worth of flour and 7,500 bushels of seed wheat. A responsible foreign relief organization has been effected in China, and boncst and efficient distribut has apparently been safeguarded. What will you say to these people when they cry—~ BREAD! BREAD! GIVE US BREAD! Chain Gang, Not Fines, for Axutomobile Criminals | }- Los Angeles has bit the nail on the head! One Fletcher, son of a millionaire, drove his automobile so reck- lessly that he destroyed a carriage and injured two of Ita occupants. Did they hale him before a sycophantic court and permit him to gmilingly pay $20 and costs, while bis victims, defeated of justice, stood around with their viscera in a aling or their bruised legs tied fo a hard knot about their necks? No sir! Did the court pounce upon the poor $56-per-month chaffeur? No, sir! The court gave the merely moneyed wretch SO days In the city chain gang, and he spent the time digging city drains. That's the stuff! You can't hurt the 40-horsepower promoters of gasoline manslaughter by hitting them In their pockets, but how the majority of them do hate honorable manual labor! It is these fellows who kick up that dust fm the streets which causes thousands of dollars’ damay Streets! If the streets are to merchants’ goods. Set ‘om to cleaning the jean, act ‘em to digging the sewers! If there are no sewers, set “em to cleaning catch basins! A few doses of association with the facile and refined but cosmopolitan catch basin will do more to stop the maiming and murdering than all the | fines that could be enter na docket big as the recording angel's. | Pec eee eee eee ee | tA BIT OF VAUDEVILLE: * SY F.
