What Are Three and One-Half
Million Children Worth
TO the World?
A Noble Cause. Mr.. Cudahy's Good Work.

Without help from the United States three and half
million children in Europe will die Of starvation grow up
with feeble bodies brains undernourshed and most i'm
portant and dangerous with JUST GRUDGE AGAINST
COLD HEARTED WORLD
little of the surplus of those that live in the United
States would save the lives of all these children
In Poland half million children threatened with
starvation One of them may be good Chopin
Kosciusko or Copernicus
In Austria millions of children brutaly treated in the
peace settlement for Hapsburg crime of which they could
not possibly be guilty living on bread made OF potato
flour and sawdust
Millions of children are starving half starving in
Germany, whence the have been driven into other
countries to make up for crime which those children
certainly did not start.
Among the German children now starving, their minds
drying up, losing all hope for the future there may be-
and there are that could become important to the
world as Beethoven Goethe Schiller Wagner, Helmholtz
Humboldt Kant Koch. The scientific life work of Koch
has saved and will hereafter in all countries of the
world, the lives of millions of children.
How much would it be worth to the world in positive
GAIN feed for develop and thus get for this world
the mental value of the three and half millions Of starving
children?
How much would it be worth to avoid to eliminate from
problems of the future bitter hatred twisted minds just
enmly against society," that must result half these mlons
killed by cold cruelty and the other half kept alive to
spend their days in misery and hate?
The amount that this nation would gladly have spent
times few months ago to kill hundred thou
sand grown would the lives of three and
half million children
The that will not contribute to such cause, if he
afford to give, and the who gives less than he
really CAN AFFORD, has cold heart.
To the fund intended to the children Senator Hard
ing to his honor, November (the day after he was
eleced sent $780, generous gift for not rich.
Those as rich as Harding should MATCH that gift.
Those ten times rich should give TEN times much
Those hundred times rich should give ONE HUN
DRED times as much
Excellent work for the children has been done by Mr.
Hoover in appeal that gives the hdeous facts based
accurate statistics.
And most generous work has been done by Mr. Cudahy
the brains and handspring of the Literary Digest in his own
personal contribution and in spending hundred thou
sand dollars paid for by him. to advertise the chdrens
needs
Senator Harding sent his check to 1.-THE Literary Digest
Child Feeding Fund No. 354 Fourth Avenue, New York
City You may do the you think it worth while to
have hand in saving the lives of children.
But merely giving SOMETHING does not meet the
situation What is needed is the example that from
giving ALL THAT YOU CAN AFFORD The widows mite
the greatest gift because she had but widows
mite from millionaire is NOT great gift Those that give
this fund should make it clear that that they take misery
starvation and the worlds future welfare seriously
