 l am glad to report that our famine relief work is entirely finished for the present. Good fall crops have furnish ed an abundant supply of grain. I have just finished compiling a statistical re- port which shows that we gave relief through our committee here to ,9o3.S94 different persons. As pra acticallV all ths work was done by the Christians it has been very fine demonstration of prac-
 tical Christianity. I night say also that considerably more than half of the funds came from the Christians of Amer !. ica.
 Yours very sincerely, R. W. CLACK.

Life Is Sweet
 In Good Health
Weak Blood Causes BafAing Feeling
 of Exhaustion

There Is nothing so sensational as living in the glow of good health, and nothing so empty as existing in the bleakness of disordered health.
 There is the direct testimony of medical and ordinary experience to prove that Gude's Pepto-Mangan re- stores poor blood to it's natural healthy state. Physicians know it's value and have prescribed it for years. Tens of thousands of men and women and children rely upon it. Pepto- Mangan revives blood which has grown thin and weak and which has left its mark on the complexion and the dis position. Features hardened by sour feelings soften into a pleasant express sion. The sensation of living-tasting. breathing, seeing the colors in sun shine, scenting the perfume of flowers, relaxing in the sweet refreshment of sound sleep everything is enjoyed with intensity. It is red -.blooded living. Gude's Pepto- Mangan has the name On the package and is sold by your druggist in liquid or tablet form. Advertisement.

PLANT ESTATE EXECUTOR TEST|FIES
 10 HIS WORK ON FINANCIAL DETAILS

tors were confronted with the question of paying large bills and it was neces- sary to secure evidence that the bills were really legal obligations against the estate. In one instance, a bill was pre- sented by a jeweler for $5O0,00e This was bill which Mir. Plants business
 office knew nothing of and which it was necessary to verify It was found nec- essary to provide money for the pay , ment for pictures which Mir. Plant had purcha sed, installments on which became due at various definite dates in the fu- ture.
 MT. Plant maintained offices in the Adams Express Co.'S building in New York the lease cs which had four more years to run. It was decided to con- tinue these as offices of the estate and part of the offices were sublet to reduce | the expenses of the office. The executors made an effort to obtain other offices, but there were none in New York availa- ble which would be suitable and none so i cheap because rent had gone very high. MT. Shearer testified that in connection l with the liquidation of debts, considera- | ble money accumulated at times so that the bank balances were very large. At other times the balances were very low
 and only large. enough to meet ordinary demands, while at other periods the | executors were without funds and in several instances it had been necessary
 to borrow money from the United States l Trust Co. with which to meet emergen- cies.
 Branfcrd Farms a Heavy Drain.
 The witness testified concerning the conduct of Branford farms. He said that Branford farms was a very large and elaborate farm and that it cost a great
 deal of money to maintain it. Soon after
 the death of Mir Plant. the executors con- ferred with the man in charge and they
 went over the records with great care.
 The man in charge attempted to dem | onstrate that the farm could be run proftably but the executors decided to
 cut down all development plans then un- der contemplation.
 The farm was run for 9 time when 1 1t was found that 1t could not be made profitable or even self-sustaining and it
 was decided to discontinue it's operations
 so that all has been closed down except the chicken farm, which while not profit !, able, is self-supporting.
 | The problem still confronting the
 executors is what to do with the farm. He testified that during MT. Plants life time. the farm showed a loss annually of i from $50,000 to $1S0,0O0.

Paotingfu, North China,

October 15, 1921.
 My Dear Hill; We have just finished getting our fall Bible classes organized. Our new method of organizing our stu dent work has more than justified it. self. As I wrote you last spring, we have gotten three students from each school (eXcept the Second Normal, where the director is anti -Christian) to act as auxiliaries to our Student Work Com mittee. These men took the entire re- spons.bility for organizing the classes in their own schools, provided only that the association furnish the teachers. And they have gotten together from one to five classes in every school We even have a class of seven in the Second Nor nal School mentioned above so that we have at last reached our goal of at least one Bible class in every school of Mid de school grade or higher.
 Except for the one man mentioned above the directors of the schools have been very friendly and several of them have given us rooms so that we can hold | the classes in the schools themselves. and one, the director of the government middle school. has himself entered a class with the aiority of his teachers. In all there are thirty odd classes, with a total enrolment of almost 800. | This is almost 20 per cent. of the total | number of students, record which will, I believe, compare quite farorably with most non-church schools in America. The largest school of all, the Military College with 1,50O students has been delayed in | opening owing to lack of funds, but many of the students have come, and we are already preparing to organize a number of classes for them as soon as it is definitely decided that the schoo will actually open. Quite number ot the military students are already Chris tians, and they will have their own stu. dent association in the school.
 A number of this student committed who remained here through the sum mer organized a Bacation Bible Schoo for small boys. They taught them arith metic, Chinese literature and writing, be sides the daily Bible lessonA There were over 130 students in all do not know how much good the small boys got out O it. but it was a great thing for the biz fellows. A number of them have ap piled for baptism this fall. while the twt
