OPEN YOUR HOME TO 3.
THE INVISIBLE GUEST
Strong Appeal Made for the Innocent
Children Of Europe Who Face
Starvation

", says j. II. ADAMS, publicity
chairman of the committee on Euro
pean Relief, "who would not open
their door and heart to a child who
was hungry-who had not had any
trees or the bark from them or the
thistles along the road-side-who
had no clothes to keep it warm and no
home or fire-side to go to?
Cant you almost see these chill
dren with their sunken cheeks look
ing at you with those appealing eyes
from across the ocean? -
t'Pestilence and famine have al
ways stalked side by side. Under
nourishment produces diseases parti-
cularly it's own. Starved and puny
bodies make quick fuel for disease.
tuberculosis and typhus merely touch
them and they are gone.
Medical aid must be given, to-
gether with clothing and at least
some kind of care, if there is to be
tomorrow to follow the horror and
the desolation of today.
"Are we a christian nation and is
Stevens county Christian county?
If we are, let us take care of at least
500 of these children. We have no
quota in dollars and cents but in
human lives.
1--WE hope to place in every home

certificates showing that you have
at your home one of those invisible
can either be paid in cash or pledge
can be signed which will come due
next July 1st. You may not have
meat every day if you do this and
you may have to make other sacri-
fees but you will have the satisfac-
tion Of knowing that you have done
what Christ himself would have done
if he was on earth today by feeding
the hungry and clothing the naked.
&c. A. Dushek is city chairman

and this drive over the county will
be put on next Monday the 18th, and

To the country folks, Mr.. Adams
says:-"On account of it being hard
to get around in the country it may
not be possible to see you but won't
you please send in your money to the
Morris National Bank who in turn
will send it direct to the state treas
urer."
"Put the idle clothes to work, I"
says Mr.. Adams. Herbert Hoover
says the need is terrible. Millions of
babies, children and mothers In
Europe are in agonizing need Of u1l-
used clothing now gathering dust In
your attic. They are the innocent
victims of the war.
The clothing will be distributed by
the American friends service commit
tee. Won't you please gather up any
good clothes, that the children have
worn out and wash them and mend
them and box them up and notify
your local chairman, or send to
Friends Auxiliary-room, 16-8th. St..

"a great deal has already been
given in this county for this work
and we shall receive credit for one
life for each SO given and those
who have already given will not be
expected to give again if you have

ity whose considerations outweigh
all others and through the appeal of
