the world with a total overhead expense of only three-eights of one per cent, with remuneration to the American directors Now he asks US all to help save the children who are in imminent danger of starvation this coming winter.
 There they are, in the midst of wrecked homes and farms, and factories; in cities crowded with masses of refugees without sustaining food for ch dren through the destruction of livestock; seeds for planting raw materials, tools, and machinery gone; great areas with everything burned, or footed, smashed: vast unemployment for workers; means of subsistence; a land of economic ruin, of mutilated fe and lingering death and in the midst of it all-the little children
 In long lines they are waiting at the American food-kitchens Will the food be there for them? Will they be turned away? There are no happy, healthy faces in those long lnes-not one You have seen rags and barefooted children but never so many little boys and girls literally drest in tatters Soon 1t will be very cold and for those bare little feet and legs and arms there is nothing at home to put on.
 Hollow faces and shrunken bodies are so common that their real condition does not become evident until we inquire more closely, and then we find that most of them are from to five years back in their growth. Children of eight years old have not reached the normal size of two and a half They are just learning to stand alone. Others almost as old can not yet stand on their feet Their arms, and legs and spines and chests are twisted and warped The flesh and skin are shrveled their bones. 1t is surprising that life still exist there If they can have food they will gradually regain their health and strength, but with most of them it Is question of now never. Starvation and tuberculosis will not wait.
 In Poland alone a million five hundred thousand such children must be cared for. In Latvia and Es thonia the people are living mostly on a diet made from potato-flour, oat-flour and sawdust In Czecho-Slovada, in Hungary in Austria, and in other countries of central and southeastern Europe, two millions more are in dire need of food; and who stops to ask regarding creed, race nationality when little child is starving? Children are just children the world over and the great American heart is big enough to care for them al
 But the appeal now is not for al The three and starvation, if this organization fails, who MUST have food at once, are only fraction of the total number. The hungry children of those destitute countries have been examined by competent physl- cians and only those whose wasted little bodies are reduced to the minimum weight, and whose endu- rance of hunger has reached the end which merges into actual starvation admitted to the American kitchens and given ONE MEAL A DAY. It is hard to turn away thousands of hungry boys and girls to hear them ask, pleadingly: Do weigh too much?" Am not thin enough?" Cant come any more?" But this restricting of food to the extreme cases is compulsory because there isn't enough for all.
 And these neediest ones can not reach the kitchens through the cold winds and the snow bare

 (Signed) HERBERT HOOVER. In immediate response the following editorial was published in The Literary Digest of October 3Oth: WHEN JESUS CHRIST CAME UPON THE w earth nearly two thousand years ago, to save all mankind, his mere coming seemed to interfere with the material interests of few people of that period notably King Herod who promptly decided to dispose of this interloper, and sent forth his soldiers with orders to slay all the children of two years old and under Thus was consummated the most atrocious crime against innocent childhood ever committed up to that time. It has come down to us through all the ages Tn song and story, and master painters have pictured it on marvellous can vases.
 Today passing in review, as we look out through
  and happy land, are three and half millions of helpless children, the innocent victims of the great est war that has ever afflicted humanity. It matters not as we gaze in the. direction of these children, that our eyes must stretch across three thousand miles of ocean, we still can SEE them and we still can HEAR them if we wish to do so and we can not help hearing the tragic appeal in their voices and seeing their tiny stretched out to us, and their searching eyes looking into souls, they say: "Help us or we perish And if we fail to listen to this great call of three and half million of Gods helpless children; if we close eyes and ears to this great demand of duty we shall be just guilty of the slaughter of the nnocents" as was Herod, nearly two thousand years ago.
 In these lands swept by death and filled with tragedies too deep for tears, sum of human suffer ing is being written greater perhaps than for all ages gone by. The mind grows numb and the heart sick from constant recital of tales of such tragedy as it is difficult to believe the twentieth century could hold
 And so, when we received a letter fros1 MT Hoover telling that America must not allow deatf in the form of hunger and cold to come to these 3 5OOO00 helpless children our soul was stirred anc the hot blood surged up in heart We felt It Wa our imperative duty to use all the power God ha given us to aid this noble-hearted American in con tinuing the work of saving human lives to which ht has devoted unsparngly, and at great personal sac rifice his tremendous energy and administrative genius during the past six years, in which time h and his American colleagues have administered tWC billions of dollars of relief funds from all parts

If You Need a Medicine
You Should IlaVe 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 a medicine,
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system che remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says stake for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation / 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 DR..
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 a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
DR.. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y,
and enclose ten cents; also mention this
paper. Large and medium size bottles

Want to Be Americanized.

The people of the Virgin islands are
begging to be Americanized- Now that
they are under the American flag, they
have right to be dissatisfied with the
old Danish laws and customs. One of
these makes it necessary for man to
have an income of $500 year in order
to vote. This law gives only about 300
people in the islands chance at con-
trolling gislation.-Exchange.

CHAPTER XVII.
The Rescue.

Out of the darkness little light be-
gan to glow. 1t shone and sparkled,
and suddenly raced skyward, disclos-
ing the outlines of the schooner
stranded upon the edge of the ice field.
Baptiste drove his vessel straight
toward it, running upon the gale. The
little group upon the deck watched In
terror as the flames spread, until 1t
could be seen that they enwrapped the
entire fore part of Dupont's schooner.
Dupont, In his madness, evading
Brousseau, had set fire to the lumber
with the aid of the petroleum kegs
which he carried in the hold. And
Brousseau, at the wheel. was striving
desperately to run the burning vessel
back into open water and cast her
upon the ice-free shore of the south
passage, beyond the point. In his
fear he had forgotten Madeleine and
Hilary.
AS Madeleine crouched on the ice,

it occurred to him that Father Lucien

Baptiste, who had been telephoning
inside the store, came out. "Drouin
and LachaQce will be at the wharf in
fifteen minutes, Monsieur Tester" he
said.
The cure nodded and took Baptiste
by the arm. The three began to stroll
toward the wharf. When they arrived
at the wharf-head, however, instead
of proceeding toward the schooner the
cure led the way, still holding Bap
