Small pox and other contagious diseases are spreading like fire. The crazed people are turning cannibals That the little children suffer most. And perhaps, too, we Americans, in our success made a little Choughtless of others, do not realize that: Three million dollars are needed to save the lives of three mili. ton starving Chinese, One dollar will save the life of one person. That that life is surely worth a pair ef theater tlokets, or a «pair of gloves, or even one meal. Recently John D. Rockefeller gave away $32,000,000. E. H. Harriman laughed at that little matter of $2,090,000, Andredw Carnegie attended the dedication of Putsparg’s $20, 000,000 Mbrary, which the steel king presented to the people of the emoky city. And $3,000,000 would save 3,000,000 lives! Surely three mitiion lives are worth the price of « modern unt- versity, « public Nbrary, or even a $2,000,000 smile. Then, chart table ones, you can afford to pay the price. Americans are helping, but the ones who are doing the most of ft are the ones of little means, who denied themeelves of the com mon things of life to help the brothers across the ses. Are Wo growing thoughtless? Today our granartes are filled to evertiowing, the manufactories are pouring gold into the land, we are the richest nation tn the world. But will it be always thus? Let use give today; let us not for get to be charitable, Starving China te asking sims Let us belp them.

Mental whale though he may be, monstrous genius though he may possess, be counts as nothing through his one emall besetting weakness. He looks for hurts and he finds them.
