MILLIONS AFFECTED BY DIsAs.
TER THROUGHOUT EAST
ERN EMPIRE
CHINA SUFFERS FAMINE
HUMAN PROVINCE is NEARLY
WIPED OUT BY THE TOR
RENTAL FLOODS

Peking. 1900 to 1900 dead
and nearly 100000 affected by fam
inc is the latest estimate of the relief
commission of the victims of the
floods which have been almost gen.
eral throughout China. OF the dead,
1900 perished in Kalgan, Chilli prov
lnce, and the majority of the remain
der in Human province, which suffered
more than other parts of the country
In the torrential floods.
The metropolitan area, which in
cludes twelve counties from Picking
southwark in Chilli province, with a
population of 100000, has 100000
persons who need relief. according to
the commission. In other provinces
the number who will have to be cared
for is even greater. In Human it is
estimated there are 4,760,000 so sit
uated; in the whole of Chilli, 5,1O0-
900; Kiangsi, 100000; Kwangtung,
2,590,O00; Fukein, 100000; Shantung,
10000; HOnan and Hupen, $1,000
each.
Chekiang province is also reported
TO have suffered but no detailed re-
ports have. been received from there.
The relief commission, basing its
computation of the famine of 1921,
when 100000 sufferers required
S37, 100000 (MeX.) for relief, esti-
mates that the present emergency re-
quires $20,000,000 (Mex.). AT this, the
members of the commission estimate
that S15,O0O,OOO will be forthcoming
from customs and other surtaxes and
other missionary sources.
Thus far the famine sufferers have
only been aided at Kalgan, where,
with Chinese assistance, the needs of
the people have been met.
Many of the areas from which the
flood waters have already been
drained will produce winter crops.
There have been no refugees except
few hundreds who have arrived in
Peking In the affected districts, the
people are mostly camping on the
dykes and higher ground.

SuDiss National FIol0er

The edelwess, the national floral
emblem of Switzerland, Is a white,
star-shaped perennial flower. 1t plays
an important part in the legend and
poetry of that nation and, due to Its
rarity, laws protect it there. APP
pearing in exposed places, high in the
Alps of Switzerland, TyTol, Sarinthla.
Austria and Serbia, its fame is due
chiefly to the difficulty in obtaining 1t.
Thrilling tales are told of the lure
of the rare edelweiss. That 1t can be
easily cultivated, however, has been
proved by its frequent appearance in
American and European gardens. The
plant grows about six inches high. Its
compound flowers are surrounded by
small, woolly flower-leaves (bracts)
and sage-green foliage leaves. Almost
any soil, not too rich and fully ex-
posed to the sun, will produce edel-
weiss plants, for the wooly covering
enables them to hold moisture and en-
dure exposure.
The word is from the German, and
means "noble white"

japanese Hand Tools

Hand tools used In Japan differ con-
siderably from those used In occi-
dental countries and consequently
there Is not a large market for picks,
shovels, rakes, etc. In place of
shovels a kind of hoe with the blade
at an acute angle to the handle Is
used, the implement being pulled to-
ward the operator in picking up
material instead of being pushed into
the material as Is done with a
shovel. says the Detroit News
kind of heavy one-bladed mattock is
used to dig up the soil in gardens
and on farms in place of spades and
hoes. Bamboo rakes are the only va
riety in common use in Japan. Some
picks and shovels made after western
patterns have been coming into use
for heavy excavation work in the
cities, as they have been found to be
more efficient than the native imple-
mentS.

Ingenious Thief Had
Crou as Accon1plica

An Ingenious trick was that prac-
ticed by youth named Boschat early
In 1911. He went into a grocer's shop
In Paris and asked for some sugar;
and when the grocer returned from
getting it he almost jumped out of his
skin to see a black crow sitting on one
of the shelves eyeing him!
The bird futtered about the shop.
defying all efforts Of the grocer to cap
ture him. While the tradesman's at
tention was disturbed Boschat quietly
rifled the till and then gave little
whistle. At the signal the crow flew
out of the shop, with its owner after
it, apparently doing his best to cap
ture his pet.
1t was only when the clever thief
and his black accomplice had disap-
peared out of sight that the grocer
discovered how he had been robbed.

SANITATION OF THE AU-
TOMOBILE CAMP
LIVERY human advance brings with
~ 1t new problems.

LIVERY human advance brings with
~ 1t new problems.
The increasing tourist automobile
traffic has brought about the establish
ment in most cities of automobile tour
list camps.
Improved roads, constantly kept In
repair have made this method of trav-
eli increasingly popular.
Two summers ago, while riding over
the great Columbian highway, on the
south bank of the Columbia river in
Oregon, checking up the automobiles
for u part of day, it was found that
every third automobile on that magniti-
cent road carried some kind of camp
ing outfit.
Camp sites were found all along the
way, particularly where supplies of
wood and water were present.
Almost every city now has some
kind of tourist camping place. Many
of the larger cities have well-equipped
grounds, provided with running water,
tent platforms, electric lights, provl-
sion stores, and even, in some cases,
lighthouses and shower baths.
The growing tourist traffic with its
increasing use of these automobile
camps makes necessary rigid provision
for their cleanliness and sanitation. A
public health report, issued by the
United States public health service,
calls attention to regulations issued
last year by the Minnesota state board
of health.
These regulations require adequate
water supply, toilet facilities, arrange
ment for refuse disposal, etc.
The water supply must be from
source approved by the state board of
health Ii 1t is obtained from any
source except a municipal water sys-
TEN, 1t must be from a we'll, spring or
other source located, constructed and
operated in accordance with the re-
uuirements of the board.
Galvanized iron garbage cans with
covers must be provided, the contents
of which must be removed daily. The
camp site must be well situated and
properly drained.
The steady increase In automobile
touring as means of spending some
or all of the summer months and the
danger of spreading typhoid fever,
dysentery and other diseases by means
of insanitary camp sites makes 1t ad-
visable for all cities to enforce such
regulations as will insure healthful and
comfortable camping sites for tourists.

No Mail in the Beyond

around, he saw a man struggling In

Seeing Mike on the bank. the man
in the water waved his hand and
shouted:
"Hey, mate, drop me liner
In flash the man on the bank rec
ognized his adversary in the pig dis

THE DANGERS OF FACE
POWDER

COME kind of face powder Is today
~ almost universally used by women
and girls.
The change in this habit in recent
years is in striking contrast to former
customs.
In our grandmothers' days, the use
of powder was regarded as almost I'M
moral. A woman who powdered and
painted her face was hardly consid-
cred respectable. Today, no woman
thinks of appearing in public without
coating of powder on her face.
There is not the slightest concealment
about 1t. Our women and girls pow
der their noses on the street cars and
on the street corners.
A fine coating of powder on the skin
is not only not injurious, but is bene-
fetal. II protects the skin from the
wind and the sun.
The early forms of face powder con-
tanned lead or other injurious ingre-
dents. Face powders, today, are, in
the main, harmless. Yet there are
few precautions to be observed In
their use
Some preparations cause infiamma-
tion of the eyes. Naturally, this Is
found almost exclusively in women, al
though 1t sometimes occurs in men,
following the use of talcum powder
after shaving. The vision is blurred,
the lids burn and itch, especially az
ter prolonged use of the eyes. Many
toilet powders. especially those known
as "rice powders" contain ingredients
which lrritata the lining membrane of
the eyelids. Only those powders
should be used which are known to
be pure and free from harmful sub
stances.
In former years, powder was gen.
orally applied to the face by means
of powder-puff, and often the pow
der was driven upward and lodged
on the moist eyeballs, causing infec-
ton.
The powder-puff is little used to-
day, except on the home dressing-ta-
BILE, and there the powder is generally
applied with absorbent cotton, which
is thrown away after a few applica-
tions Most women carry in their
handbags, pocketbooks or vanity cases
"compacts" containing a cake of solid
powder and pad for applying 1t. The
solid powder is free from many of the
objections which apply to loose pow
der, but the pad is often used for
long time until 1t has become soiled.
Fine, pure talcum powder or rice
powder, applied with u clean cotton
pad or piece of absorbent cotton and
used in moderation, will do no harm
But care should be taken to apply it
with a clean cloth, to avoid irritating
the eyes. and to see that the skin Is
thoroughly cleansed, morning and eve
ming, with soft water, pure soap, and
a clean washcloth, followed by large
quantities of cold water.

A number of the letters of our al
