STARVING BABIES APPEAL
TO AMERICA FOR FOOD

We have read with pity a series o.
articles appearing in the LITERARY
! DIGEST, containing facts regarding
the starving millions in Europe to
day. The LITERARY DIGEST, as w
all know, is one of the most reliable
and authentic magazines in the United
States. 1t has no policy except to give
to it's readers the newA as it really
and truly happens. This It does Whel
it tells you that in China alone As,
100000 men, women and children are
starving, you can depend upon this
statement being facts. Now, this con
dition not only exists in China, but
Armenia Servia and in fact in all
Southern Europe.
This picture is so horrible that we
shall not even attempt to give you the
facts regarding the real suffering that
is going on, but wish to state that one
of these babies can be clothed and
fed for the small sum of six (6c)
cents per day. Think Of this-six
cents will not even buy a coca-cola, a
package of cigarettes, a plug of d.
bacco, and yet it will save one lby
from dying for the want of food and
clothing. Our Goth Century beggars
in the United States today live in lux
ury, when compared with our neigh,
bors across the ocean. What small
sacrifice it would be to leave off one
coca-cola each day or one or two
''chews' of tobacco or one cigar or a
half dozen cigarettes, but yet this
would save the life of one starving,
dying baby.
Any amount of money that you care
to contribute from % cents to $4,000.
or more can be safely trusted to the
Child Feeding Fund.- Of the Literary
Digest. You do not have to wait un-
til someone calls upon you and spends
30 minutes or an hour explaining the
proposition before you make a dona-
ton, but go to the post office, express
office or give the rural carrier the
money for an order, make it payable
% the Child Feeding Fund Of the
Literary Digest, put it in an envelope
and address it to the Child Feeding
Fund.- Literary Digest, 354-36O 4th
Ave-, New York City, N. Y, and 100
cents of every dollar you spend will
90 to the relief of these starving peo-
pie.
With all our suffering and our plec
Of hard times, we are still living lin
| land OF luxury and plenty and we
should heed this appeal for HUMANE
tvs sake.
