CHINA SWEPT
BY FAMINE
NEARLY 1000 DEATHS DAILY
FROM STARVATION AND
CHOLERA.
Children Are Sold For So Each-Heads
of Families Poisoning or Drowning
Their Wives, Then Killing Them
selves to Avoid Death by Starvation.

London.-A calamity of the first
magnitude has befallen the Chinese
people in the form of the worst famine
in 40 years. More than 5S,000,000 PEG
pie are affected over territory 100
miles long and $50 miles WIDE There
are nearly 1000 deaths daily and the
situation is growing worse hourly.
The outlook for the winter is appall-
ing and a mOmental tragedy is threat
cned. Only the most prompt and gen
erous assistance from all parts Of the
world can avert the most serious cataS-
trophe in the history Of modern China
Two hundred million dollars is needed
to save even Il portion of the afflicted
people from death.
This information comes from an au-
rhentic source in close touch with con
ditiOns in China. All the crops have
failed, and there is no hope for relief
from the soil until next June at the
earliest.
The peasants are selling their las:
remaining bits of clothes and furniture
ana even their children for Il few dol
lars in order to purchase seed for the
new crop. Authentic cases are record
ed in the village of Hwang Lo in which
100 families once resided, and which
now almost is deserted, in which boys
girl, and infants have been sold, the
boys for 81 and the girls for $3.50.
Similar conditions prevail through
out the stricken area. Terror is in
jected into the situation by the opera
tons Of bandits, who are securing
the country. robbing the stricken ill.,
habtants of their last slim possess
siOnS.
The heads of families are poisoning
or drowning their wives and children
and then killing themselves to avoid
certain death by starvation or at the
Lands of the bandits.
The famine is the result of failure
"f the spring crop, due to the de-
ficiency Of snow during the winter and
the lack Of rain in the earlier months
Cf this year.

Aid of Brazil Sought.

Rio Janeiro.-The Brazilian Minis

the Austrian Government, being unable
to re-establish its representation in

requested him to ask the good Offices
Of the Brazilian Government in sup
port of the proposal to annex Austria
to Germany. The Austrian Govern
ment, the Minister said, believed that
to be the only solution of Austria's dis

about 80 minutes later, that the men
succeeded in releasing themselves and
gave a report of the robbery. While
the hold-up men We're at work IN the
mail car, two armed guards sat in an
adjoining car with rifles to protect Il
ship of $500,000 in cash. The guards

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best


Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten! The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for IN
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DIR.
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive sample bottle OF
Swamp Root by Parcels Post. Address
DIR. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles
for sale at all drug stores.-Adv.

Chicago.-Riot calls were turned in
when a meeting of 1900 Socialists be-
came disorlerly after Meyer London,
Socialist COngresSman-elect from New
York, had criticized the Russian Soviet
Government.
A detachment OF police arrived short
ly after The disorder was started and
no serious damage was done, although
chairs were broken and pictures and
decorations torn from the walls.
London had been discussing Social
ism for an hour before the disorder
was begun. He was applauded loudly
and stopped frequently to quiet the
shouts of praise which came from his
audience.
Suddenly, however, he began to crit
that the principles of Lenine were NOT
necessarily the principles of pure So
cialism and that The Socialists Of New
York were out of sympathy with deve,-
Opments in Russia.
but here in Chicago" he contip"
cd, ''yOu are too slow to realize the
faults of the. Russian Government. You
go blindly On the belief that anything

control and the riot call was turne,, in.

3, 900 KILLED IN
AUTO ACCIDENTS
OR DIED OF RESULTING INJURIES
THEREFROM DURING
1920.
"Each Year 1t Becomes More and More
Dangerous for Person to Walk on
the Streets" the Census Bureaus
Statement Said.

Observation-Disclosures thousand eight
hundred and eight persons were killed
in automobile accidents, or died as d
result of injuries therefrom during the
last year, the Census Bureau an
nOunced in statement offering Sug-
gestions for traffic Improvement. An
automobile accident death rate of HI
uut Of every 100000 of population was
reported for 1919, an increase over ev-
cry year since 1915 when the rate was
so, and an increase of 245 in the total
number of deaths over 1913.
Each year it becomes more and
more dangerous for person to walk
on the Streets" the Census Bureaus
statement said. 1.-THE reason usually
given, and probably the correct one, is
that the number of automobiles in use
constantly is increasing. How then
shall this eVer-increaSing danger be
lessened? The obvious remedy is TO
improve constantly the traffic reguls-
tiOns to keep pace with the eVer-in-
creaSing number of automobiles.
This call for better and better traf-
H.. regulations is not a fanciful one.
Everyone is familiar with the neces
sity for slow and orderly progress
when a crowd energies from a circus
tent and, similarly automobile traffic
must be slowed down and controlled
until it becomes safe. The 1919 rates
for Kansas City Mo, San Antonio and
Cleveland, all much lower than for
1918. provides a ray of hope that we
finally are waking up"
Suggestions made by the Bureau for
Traffic Improvement follow: Erection
of street crossings of curbed safety
islands, which, at the most dangerous
spots should be close together. Con- |
struction of additional crossings in the |
middle Of blocks, where automobiles |
can approach from only two directions.
Demonstration of great skill in driv-
ing each machine before granting a
drivers license for that machine. Re-
duction of the speed limit, especially
at crossings. Fine, revocation of Ii
cense and Imprisonment, each to have
its place as an actual penalty.
Youngstown, Ohio, leads the list of
50 cities III the auto death rate with
$50 out of every 100000, but showed
a decrease from the previous year
when the rate was 51.9. Richmond, |
Va, the lowest rate, with SO, but /
showed a slight increase over 1918, |
when it was "a New York had the
largest number of deaths, with 7S0, All
increase of 50 over the previous year, !!
and more than double the number in |
1918. New YOrks automobile death |
rate was no out of every 100000 |
persons Chicago's deaths numbered |
32S, an increase of 81, with a death
rate of 2:3.
