Strong Appeal for Near East
Sufferers.

columbia, Dec. 20.-E. o. Black,
treasurer of the Near East Relief,
has received from Henry Morganthau
former ambassador to Turkey, tele-
gram telling of the deplorable con-
G6tions now existing in the Near East
and making an earnest plea to the
people of the United States not to
shandon the little orphans who are
now being taken care Of by the con-
tributions of the people of this coun-
Cry.
America won the admiration and
gratitude of the Near East by disin-
terested ,altruism and philanthropy
during the past four years. Peace and
order have not been restored. These
people are still helpless. Their land
has again been the battle-ground OF
contending forces. Their efforts to
maintain independence have partial
w failed owing to the superior force
of the neighbors.
s'Large number of refugees have
beer dispossessed of their temporary
homes. Recent cables state that the
roads leading to the various places OF
safety are crowded with refugees. A
hard winter has begun. The snow is
knee deep in many places. These
helpless refugees are again thrown
on our mercy. Unless we heed their
CRY they will perish this winter. by
4he thousands.
aThe situation is today worse than
st was last year. The Near East Re-
lief is the only organization whose
funds are used for this work. Hun
zireds of thousands of these people
are living today who would have per-
ished had it not, been for American
relief. Large number of orphans now
IN the more than two hundred or
phanages maintained by the Nea East
Relief are totally dependent upon the
Near East Relief for the simplest ne
eessities of life. They must now be
left to perish after being rescued by
MS. No matter where these people are
or which faction claims the right to
govern them the refugees are home
less orphans and helpless. Their faces
are turned towards US in despair and
expectancy. They are the Tiny Tins
of tsae Holiday season."
All contributions should be sent

Normal Buying is Now Needed

lNOFIldA 'Ooy ha6 ~ AS
Public refusal to buy has been car
ried to a point of false economy, and
normal buying must be resumed to
prevent possible combination OF
nigh prices and low wages and unem-
ployment, was declared by Roger b.
Williams, yice-president of the Ma
1ional Bank of Commerce in New
York, in a recent address at the
eighth annual meeting of the Con-
verts Association at the Biltmore in
New York. Speaking further along
this line of normal buying Mr.. Will
Hams said:
,"To my mind there is no greater
service that can be rendered today to
business and to the public than to re-
establish normal volume of buying.
And to do this it seems to me busi-
ness and the public must come to an
understanding. 1t is through the pro-
cess of business, either directly or
indirectly, that most of the so-called
good things of life are accumulated
which we all share, or try to. Unless
business is being done, unless there
Is fair distribution of activity,
there can be no prosperity to divide,
either between employer or employe,
business man or consumer.
A.It is no time to preach thrift
mess now, but it is time to place
emphasis on the need for sanity in
Buying. 1t is not thrifty to stop buy
ing altogether any more than it IS
shrifty to consume all of our current
production without consideration of
khe future. That is wasteful way of
doing business. 1t means extrava-
giant production costs and waste of
|matglals in the boom period, and in
che period of depression it means de-
|terioration of goods not consumed. In
both periods, therefore it means
great waste of human endeavor-and
IN the last analysis, the public pays
The bill.
sseThgre are number OF more di-
rect and obvious ways in which this
restraint of buying is inficting in
Jury. With goods flooding back on
their hands, producers and distribu-
urs have had to make abrupt curtail-
mehts of their activities, resulting in
unemployment and in many direc-
fions in drastic wage cuts. Not only
are manufacturers and distributors
injured. but misfortune visits the
working class with its resultant dis
content and unsettlement. But the ill
effects Of the movement do not stop
even here. A recession in buying car
ried too far, and producing too great
a stagnation in production and distri-
button, may result in secondary era
of shortage and rebound in prices
without an increase in real wages to
meet it.; The result would be that
Che pressure of the high cost of hv-

most nauseate you. Then you resort
70 acetanilid, aspirin or the bromides
which temporarily relieve but do not
rid the blood of these irritating tox-
lns.
A glass OF hot water with q tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in

only wash these poisons from your
system and cure you Of headache, but
will cleanse, purify and freshen ths
aiimentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for quarter
