Real Rest DEPENDS Largely Upon

The deeper and sounder you sleep the better
you feel Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,
disturbed sleep.
This is because the final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on more
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are
at rest.
You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your

drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to the brain and nervous system.

Chinese Die On One Bare
Field Waiting For Food to Come

NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-(By AS
ISOLATED Feasibility thousand
Chinese gathered on a great bare
field outside Tientsin, China, waited
patiently for food which never ar
rived, and then slowly died there, E.
S. Glines, American engineer, re-
ported upon his arrival here after
passing six months in the famine
stricken areas of North China.
The condition of the starving
hordes was so pitiful, Mr.. Glines said,
that he "did not have the heart to
take photographs Of such misery"
He said that the crowd at Tientsin
had gathered because they believed
food would reach them there more
quickly than in the country. Along
the roadside near the field, he told
of seeing the bodies of a whole fam
ily-father, mother and five child
ren-each few yards apart, where
they had dropped and died.
"The crop failures have been al
most complete in the five great prov
inces that make up the northern part
of China proper-Chihli, Shantung,
Shansi, Shensi and Honan," said
Mr.. Glines. This is the part of the
country around Peking, south of Mon
golia and Manchuria."
Explaining why the sections OF
China not stricken by famine were
unable to relieve the starvation dis
/ tricts, Mr.. Glines said:
China is largely an agricultural
nation. Ninety per cent of the pop
ulation lives on the tiny farms into
which the country is divided The
Chinese work their land to the limit
but they cannot raise. more than
enough to feed themselves. Each
district can raise barely enough food
to support its own people. That is
why the prosperous provinces have
been able to do so little for the
famine-stricken ones. They have
not the food to send.
THE crops in North China have

failed since 1919. The people have
been unable to get more than scraps
of food from other parts of China.
They have been unable to get much
from the outside world because food
has been high-priced all over the
world. They have tried to move to
better districts where they could
raise crops but such districts are so
far and they have had such poor re-
sources that they have died like flies
on the way.
There is no question that more
than 100000 Chinese will starve
to death this winter and spring unless
food is rushed to them" He declared
that millions will die despite aid,
that the population of 45,000,000 in
the famine districts is in such dire
straits that it will be a physical i'm
possibility to rush enough food to
them to save all.
Great irrigation projects, control
of flood producing streams, and i'm
provement of transportation were
cited by Mr.. Glines as the only sal
walton of the agricultural and Geo.
nomic life of China.
"These things will be done in
time" he said, "for China is awake.
America will probably have a big
part in this future of China, but we
must lay aside these things for the
present and devote every effort to
getting food to the starving mill,
lions.
