ferers from Flood and
Famine.

Secretary Charles L. Magee Of the Ameri-
can National Red Cross society is sending
out a circular in connection with the case
of the famine stricken people OF China.
The famine is due to a flood which has
devastated an immense area The Harri-
man steamship lines have agreed to carry
shipments OF foodstuffs and other relief
supplies to China free OF charge. The Red
Cross society asks for contributions of
money. The circular reads;
Reports from Shanghai lately received by
ton along the Grand canal caused By the
heavy summer rains. In July much OF the
country was already under water from knee
deep to waist deep, and in some places the
people had to wade through water up 20
their necks. West of the canal what was
formerly a fertile plain covered with good
vast lake extending sixty II at the narrow
est point and stretching 100 II out toward
the southwest. Here and there are the
groups OF cottages which rise above the
sheet of water and can only be reached by
boats. The people are In state OF absolute

destroyed by the floods.

and 100 miles in width on each side of the

miles. the crops have been almost totally
destroyed and in the country beyond only
tain that one-half or two-thirds of the
population OF 100000 or 100000 OF the
affected region will be on the verge OF
starvation during the winter and tens OF
thousands must perish unless help is given,
Thousands Of houses have also been de-
stroyed. and men, women and children by
tens OF thousands have left their homes TO
beg elsewhere. Some throw their children
into the water and then commit suicide,
others are selling their children for almost
nothing. Farmers are forced TO sell their
work animals to buy food and have no
wheat TO plant next years crop. Hundreds
are already dying from famine and fever
IN their desolate and fOOdess homes. There

TWO MALADIES KNOCKED OUT
Hay Fever and Asthma Get solor FlPxus
from DR.. Join Howard.
ONE N0sTRUM KILLS OFF BOTH OF THEM
sapient Healer Appears at City Hall
and Explains His wonder
full Panacea to the
Omcials.
ONE NoSTRUM KILLS OFF BOTH OF THEM

John Howard colored. a licensed street
peddler, started in Tuesday morning to RID
the city hall of all asthma and hay fever
Noticing the painters and decorators were
presenting the interior of the municipal
building with fresh colors and hearing that
the administration was trimming down the
running expenses of the city, Mr.. Howard
thought the psychological moment for Of
fering his panacea for asthma and hay
fever had arrived. Consequently he APP
peared at the city hall front door Tuesday
morning like a new Moses in the wilder
ness. knocked on the door and was ad-
mitted by superintendent Rowden.
Explaining his methods and medicines,
Mr.. Howard said he searched men. not with
X-ray tools nor for their valuables. but
with an all-seeing scientific eye. He said
he had been on speaking terms with asthma
and hay fever for four years and had a
medicine which would drive those ailments
out faster than a cat sliding down a steep
tin roof.
The little forethought which Mr.. Howard
offered in City Clerk Buffers ONCE. while
he opened up his line OF goods on the coun-
ter. was this wise:
1.-The hay fever am the antu-spasm at
the nerves and brain, a tickling at de roof
OBJ de mouth, creating in de upper nostrils
! a Tightening across de bridge of de nose
and an itching and burning sensation in de
eyes. De anti-spasm stahts wild sneezing
i and q pain through de eyeballs. Yoh got
to watch de eyeballs. The mucous men,
brames lining de eyelids get wus de nos
trils swell de tonsils become injured and
red and de throat Increases more or less
painful. difficult and swollen. There is
| loss of sleep. Yoh see things what yoh
| don't member seing befoar.
THE asthma am the anti-spasm oh the
haht. nerves and lungs, and begins wild a
light tickling across the bronchoes in de
lungs, causing a wheeling and croupish
cough. This spasm will occur at any time
OBJ de day or night and by standing or lying
still. You'll wake up at de night time
with smuggling feelin in the breast;
then begin with terrible struggling for
breath, leaning out of the window. gaspine
for fresh air. wild a pain in the breast and
a cramping in the lung. You got TO be
careful you don't fall out of the window
My medicine cures you when all other
medicines fail. because 1t acts on the lining
OF de lungs by qualifying the sensation
from de air and driving 1t out de system
There's nothing like driving things out OF
yo' system. My medicine purihes yo' blood
restores you nerves and system. and in
from three TO six weeks this dreadful dis
ease will pass way and neber return nc
NOAH"
City Clerk Butler declared he felt some
thing coming on. Mr.. Howard was driv-
ing hay fever out of the plumbing inspec-
tors offlce when the town whistles blew al

in the smart materials. yellow is not an
easy color to wear, and il Is also clan

To insure an abundance of sweet pea
