Captain Nyikos has again found an

be expected. Coach Gransden has
worked out a new form Of attack.

the responsibility OF taking Big

FAMINE IN CHINA
 WORSE THAN EVER
Former Local Pastor Sends Letters
 Explaining Conditions

Letters from missionary workers in China have been received by Mrs. F. G. Platt of Grove Hill relating the horrible conditions throughout that country. One letter is from Rev. w. F. Rowlands. formerly assistant pastor of the local First Congregational church. Another is from Rev. and Mrs. A. D. Heininger who relate the experiences they have encountered there.
 Rev. MT. Rowland's Letter.
 The following is an extract from a letter from Rev. Mir. Rowlands dated in the early part of October:
 This is the worst famine China has known for 50 years, and it promises to be q dreadful one. The area affected contains from twenty to forty millions of people, in most of which there has been no harvest of any sort this year, while in many parts it was a very poor one last year also. The things that people are eating at this early date are unimaginabIe, and what they are going to do the rest of the winter it Is impossible to say. We arc making a desperate effort to give a little help to our own Christian people,and are now raising funds to help the most needy ones to buy wheat for the spring crop, which is always sown at this time of the year. Of course this won't give them bread to eat for six months or so. but it will be a great thing if they can exist in the hope of a harvest next May or June.''
 Rev. Mir. Hciningcr's Letter.
 The following is from Rev. A D. Heininger. dated Sept. list.
 My survey leads to the conclusion (confirmed by the observations of others) that with such crops as there are to he harvested. together with leaves. alfalfa. and such food as they can get, most of the people will be able (some only with great difficulty) to take care of themselves for two or three months. Beginning with January and lasting for five months (until wheat harvest) there will be actual starvation on a large scale. Whether life is saved depends upon whether help comes from outside. We do not believe that you want those of us who are in the midst of it to stand idly by while thousands of our humankind are dying of starvation; nor do we be- lieve that anything jess than our ut most efforts will be truly representa- tive of Christianity. Merely to preach a gospel of heavenly bliss will not suf- fec when men, women and children are dying tho slow death of starvation.

HER SICKLY CHILD DOCTORS DIDN'T HELP
Strong and healthy now. Mother says
 Milks Emulsion saved its life.

Strong and healthy now. Mother says
 Milks Emulsion saved its life.
 Last May my three-year-old baby was taken very ill, got so bad that we expected her to die at any time. Had four doctors but they did not know what ailed her and finally stopped coming. She had been sick about months when I started giv- ing her Milks Emulsion. I noticed results from the first and by the time she had taken ? bottles she was ab- solutely strong and healthy. I am thankful to say Mill<s Emulsion saved her life.''-
 Mrs. Willis S. Pitts, Nacogdoshes, Texas.
 For restoring appetite, health and strength in sickly children, mothers will find Milks Emulsion the thing they have always sought. Most chil- dren like to take it, because unlike many emulsions and tonics, it really tastes good.
 Milks Emulsion is a pleasant. nu- tritive food and corrective medicine. It restores healthy, natural bowel ac- tion, doing away with all need of pills and physics. It promotes ap- petite and quickly puts the digestive organs in shape to assimilate food. As a builder of flesh and strength, Millls Emulsion is strongly recom- mended to those whom sickness has weakened. and is a powerful aid in resisting and repairing the effects of wasting diseases. Chronic stomach trouble and constipation are prompt ly relieved.
 This IS the only solid emulsion made, and so palatable that it is eaten with a spoon like ice cream.
 No f4nr you are urged to try Millxs Emulsion under this guarantee-Take six bot ties home with you, use it according to directions and if not satisfied with the results, your money will be promptly refunded. Price 75c and s1.50 per bottle. The Milks, Emulsion Co, Terre Haute, Ind. Sold by drug

 Word Picture of Condition.
 Extracts from report of Nathaniel Pcffer, authorized correspondent of the New York papers and representa- tive of group of Pekin papers, taken from Pekin and Tientsin Times of October 2, 1920. follow:
 "I have just come through one of the worst stricken districts in the famine area. My route has taken me through seventy or eighty villages. at most of which I have alighted from my cart, gathered a cluster of villagers about me and got their story It is on the whole monotonous
New Britain herald., 1920-11-11

story one village typical of another, just as this belt is typical of the whole of conditions Throughout the four stricken provinces Chihli, shan tung, Honan and Shansi. The fate of the million and half or two million people in this belt will be the fate also of the twenty-five or thirty million affected by this that promises to be China's greatest tragedy since the famous famine in the early seven- ties of the last century.
 Suffering Just Beginning.
 ''The tragedy is as yet in it's pro- logue. There is suffering already, prodigious suffering, but it is as yet only a black promise of what is to come. It is in eight or nine weeks that the crisis will be reached and the whole population will be affected. Then, unless help is forthcoming on a scale that staggers the imagination, there is only one prospect for all but an infinitesimal proportion of the population--death.
 '"The situation in brief is this: From one-third to two-thirds of the people in the district I have visited are now living on a diet at least part of roots. weeds, tree-leaves, chaff of grain and cotton seed waste. After the frost sets in, w..en there will inc no more leaves and weeds, these will be at least half the population with nothing to eat, literally nothing. One could drop down or almost any vil- lage by aeroplane, spend two hours there and get an accurate picture of the conditions in four of the eighteen prov inces
 Soil Barren.
 Everywhere it is the same: Soil barren as in midwinter, prices soar ing, diet principally of chaff, etc. for the ma jori:y, oh: dren sold wle-e- ever possible: deaths from cholera resulting from underfeeding. suicides of individuals or esaI, wi.CiC families in cases of extreme despair One thing one does not find, bewailing or lawlessness. There is a detached air of resignation in those who have not had 8. real meal for weeks that is not understandable to one from the west. If they have no food they must die. A city man who did not know from the look of the soil whether the crops were good Tor bad and who did not speak the Ch nesc would not know from their manner CT attitude that there was anything abnormal Yet many of these peo- ple have but a few weeks to live.
 Bankers Statement.
 "In Ming Ching I talked to the two principal bankers who are rais- ing funds for the purchase of grain to be sold at cost. Said one of them:

 There are some vegetables that arc easily spoiled in the cooking by the Innocent addition of salt at the wrong time. For instance. k fresh corn Is cooked in what Is known as boiling salted water tho kernels arc made tough.

 This rule applies especially to the root vegetables coming in season now. Turntps can be salted and poppered when the butter is added. Beets car rots. onions, parsnips and even pota- toes have n different flavor if the salt ls added when the vegetable is half
