Each "Mercy" Sticker Purchased
for Three Cents Provides Food

Sales Of life Saving Stamps" by
the American Committee for China
Famine Fund for the benefit Of China
thousands Of dollars at the end of the
first month. and already the money is
actually saving lives in China. Or
ders during the first month aggregated
more than 100000 stamps, which
will mean-at the rate Of 3 cents for
each stamp-$3O0,O for the Chinese
when the complete returns have been
made. The stamps are intended to Sc
cure a multitude Of small contribu-
tons from persons who will not have
an opportunity to contribute in other
ways. The campaign for China Is the
greatest single philanthropic effort
now before the American people.
Every state In the Union is now Co
operating in the life saving stamp
sales, and special committees are at
work in more than 1000 cities through
out the country. The circulation of
the stamps Is being effected by sales
organizations composed Of officers Of
the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
cieties, assisted by commercial organi-
cations, schools, churches, Boy and
Girl Scout Camps, Y. M. and Y. w.
Christian Associations, fraternal
lodges, hotel assoc atoms, boards Of
education and other volunteers inter-
ested in the movement to extend a
helping hand to a sister republic In dis
tress.
House to house canvassing for the
sale Of the stamps-which are intended
to be placed on the backs of letters and
packages-has proved the most effec-
tive method In the smaller communi-
ties. In the big cities the stamps have
been sold to business houses, which
are using them on their outgoing mail
and packages. A nominal quota Of ten
stamps for every adult has been set by
the committee but in many centers
this already has been passed. If I'M
able to obtain stamps through local
committee write China Famine Fund

AT this, the earliest practicable mo-
ment In my administration, desire to
add my own to the many appeals
which have been issued heretofore in
behalf Of the starving people of large
section of China.
1.-THE picture Of China's distress is
so tragic that am moved, therefore,
TO renew the appeal heretofore made
and to express the hope that the Amer

to this humanitarian cause as gener-
ously as they possibly can"
In Apo nting the American commit
tee for China Famine Fund, with his
own immediate predecessor In the
White House, ex-Pesident Taft, as
one Of the members, and Thomas w.

mot only in the name of humanity,

we feel for a great people in distress,
venture to ask that our citizens shall,
even though the task Of giving Is not
today light one, respond as they can
to this distant but appealing cry for
help"
