Forty Millions
People Starving
6 Cents Will Save Life for a Day!
500 Will Save Life For Month!
$l2. 90 Will Save Life Until Next
Harvest!

One OF the most tragic situations con-
fronts the people of Northern China,
millions are starving, thousands are dy.
ing daily, and many are selling their
children in order to buy food. Many
children are being murdered by their
parents in order to end their sufferings
from hunger. The authentic facts can
be ascertained by reading "the Christ
ian Herald" and they are facts that
stagger the imagination. One writer
declares "It SO completely dwarfs any
other famine the world knows any,
thing about, that there is no basis for
comparison. 1t means literally nothing
to eat, not even grass. II means no
heat. 1t means little or no shelter. II
means the most intense horror. II
means the death by starvation and its
accompanying disease for several mil
lions men, women, and children-prin-
cipally children"
WHAT'S America doing aboutit it?
America is going to play Santa Claus
to China this Christmas. The American
Red Cross has appropriated $500, 900
for the relief OF the famine sufferers.
President Wilson has heartily endorsed
the movement of the christian Her
aid Fund" America only needs to be-
come acquainted with the real facts of
the case, and she responds in a large

To Make Your Hair
Look Naturally Curly

Just apply a little liquid siImerine
with a clean tooth brush before doing
up the hair and you will have as beauti-
ful curls and waves as you could wish
appearance and will last a long time,
even In damp or windy weather. The
full effect Is secured within three hours
usually.
A few ounces of liquid silmerine-
which, of course, can be had at any
drug store-will last for weeks, so il is
quite economical to use. 1t also serves
az an excellent dressing. giving the hair
a delightful gloss. When the hair is
combed out 1t will be as fluffy as though
It had just been s~hampooed.
