FAMINE TIGHTENS ITS GRIP.

When appeals for help for the ia
mine stricken Chinese were first is
sued to the American public it was
stated that ss the months went on
destitution would grow more pro-
nounced, starvation would claim
more victims, horrors would be piled
on Horrors b ad. 1t was further
stated that no alienation from the
natural sources of supply-the farm
lands-could be expected until late 10
June, mayhap not until the coming
autumn.
There has been no reason, at any
time, produced at any source, TO
change or modify these advance
statements. Never has China's need
been so gre at as now; never have the
contributions from generous Ameri-
cans been more welcome or desired;
never has a dollar been so sure as
now of saving a human being from
death, destitution, suffering.
A few days ago the Christian Her
aid received the following cablegram
from the North China News and Her
aid, published at Shanghai, and, as
heretofore pointed out, the most con-
sentative, influential and reliable pa
per in the Chinese Orient:
Approaching period of 8 -verest
pinch. Authenticated instances OF
corpses having been exhumed for can
nibalism. Foreign relief working ef-
fectively and maintaining whole dis

Here, in most succinct portrayal, Ii
a word picture of horrors at which
the imagination revolts, and side b.
side a companion illustration that ha
a right to make glad the hears o
Americans. OF all the foreign relic
contributed for the Chinese sufferer
Americahas given fully two thirds, an
the cablegram says that this relief

whole districts"-to the saving G
hundreds of thousands of lives.
AS the famine advances and Will
need grows greater, avenues for Ell
fective relief grow wider and NOR
numerous. 1t rests with American

Roasting Coffee.

In Norway. where superb coffee is
made, bit of butter is added to the
beans while they are roasting in the
covered shovel used there for that
purpose. In France as we'll a piece Of
butter the size of a walnut is put with
three pounds of the coffee beans. and
also a dessertspoonful of powdered
sugar. This brings out both flavor
and scent and. moreover. gives the
slight caramel taste which will be re

ords OF the conduct of Sheridan. Hunter
