FAMINE IN CHINA.
Millions of People Are Suffering for

Millions of People Are Suffering Tor
Want of Food.
Pekin, Feb. 5.-Reports received mere
from Singan-fu all agree that mine
in the province of Shansi is n of the
worst in the history of China. All In
formation on the subject is necessarily
fron Chinese sources and is fragmen-
tary, but the stories are all to the. same
effect, picturing a condition Of affairs
that is calculated to % the sympa-
thy Of the world for the stricken peo-
pie. It is estimated that two-thirds OF
the people are without sufficient food
or the means Of obtaining it. The
weather is bitterly cold and this adds
to the misery Of starvation. There is
little fuel in either province, and the
people are tearing out the woodwork
Of their houses to obtain fuel to keep
themselves warm. Oxen, horses, dogs
and other animals used by the farmers
to aid in their work in ordinary times
have been practically all sacrificed to
satisfy hunger. Fol- three years the
crops have been failures in both prov
inces. There was more or less famine
in previous seasons and the people were
in poverty when the winter began.
Their condition has since been grow
ing steadily worse. Letters state that
canibalism is practiced now to a con-
siderable extent.

The condition Of general business is
pretty accurately reflected by activity
or apathy in the New York stock ex-
change, so it need cause no surprise
that during December the record
price was paid for a seat in that body
$50, 900, exclusive of the initiation fee
of 81 1000. Membership in the exchange
carries with it life insurance for $1O,-
600, SO there is a limit below which
the price can hardly fall. But since
the very seat that has just sold for
$780, 900 less than two years ago, no one
would dare to predict how high the
boom may take it.

THE GRIP EPIDEMIC

The Disease More Prevalent than Ever and
Quite as Fatal. The Best Treatment
The grip has surprised the doctors and
health authorities this season by its
rapid spread and by some novel symp-
toms. While it spares nobody it is prov
ing especially dangerous to middle-aged
and elderly persons. In many cases
either fatal onset of pneumonia, or a
complete breakdown of health and
strength, is apt to follow an attack Of
grip.
The wise course for all is prevention.
BY wearing Benson's Porous Plaster on
the chest and back you protect the lungs
from cold and chill and with ordinary
care) you are safe from grip.
For those who are already suffering
from grip, or from the. usual winter
coughs and colds, Benson's Plasters are
a sure and speedy relief and cure. Highly
medicinal and scientific.
