    Farmer Aid Is
“Bread on Waters”
Says Underwood
(Special to The Banner)
Atlanta, Jan. 7.—The farmers of
Georgia have an added Incentive for
giving to the fund to save the starv
ing children' of Europe, since the
gTeater part of the money raised will
be used to buy products of American
farms.
This was brought out today by E.
Marvin Underwood, chairman of the
Georgia state committee for European
relief. In giving out a statement from
Herbert Hoover, who is heading the
flattens! movement to raise $33,000,-
000.
"American cows will produce the
milk that will save the UVes of the
children of eastern and central Eu
rope, who will be given 770 tons of
condensed milk every week," says the
statement. "Hogs raised on Ameri
can farms will furnish the 187 tons
of lard used each week and American
wheat fields will furnish the weekly
requirement of 1,716 tons of flour.”
II was also declared by Mr. Under
wood that every penny given by an
American citizen will go exclusively
to the purchase of food, since the ex
penses of the campaign arc being paid
for out of the pockets of interested
public spirited men, and the cost of
transporting and distributing the food-
they saw, for not one of them who
went without these two meals but was
more than willing to-give to the fund
to help these European children fvho
can only have ona meal a day, even
If America raises this fund."
In connection with the campaign,
a movement has been started in a
number of communities to ■•adopt”
the European boys and girls. Ono lit
tle girl In Sandersville, Ga., only 14
years old, sent $50 today to an At
lanta newspaper, declaring she wanted
to “adopt” five little boys and girls
of Europe with that money.

Take Gude’s Pepto-Mangan,
the Red Blood Builder.
In your body are two gallons (more
or less) of blood, which is constantly
at work keeping your system free of
germs, removing the waste tissues,
and building up new strength In hone

This blood must be healthy or your
resistance to disease and fatigue will
be lowered, you will lose weight, and
both body and mind will have less
vigor.
For building up blood weakened by
overwork, Illness or olher causes,
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan, for years pre
scribed by physicians, is now gen
erally kpown as a prompt and harm
less tonic.
Gude’s Pepto-Mangan soon produces
marked beneficial results. The tired,

And in Its stead a vigorous wholesome
ness and happiness proves that the
blood has been supplied with the sore
ly needed richness to supply the en

When you buy Pepto-Mangan at
your druggist’s, be sure the name
‘ C-ude'a” Is on the package. You can
get It in either liquid or tablet form.
If the name "Gude'a" Is not on the

nlflcant. This extraordinary report
was read before the recent session of
tho Georgia Baptist Convention and
was received as high tribute to the
faithful spirit in which Georgia Bap
tists are keeping, the pledges they
made a year ago to this five year pro
gram.
With such a record Tor me rtrst
year of the campaign period, Georgia
Baptists have set their faces to the
tasks of 1921 with* hearty confidence
In the co-operative spirit which they
have developed this first year and
with the determination that they will
make a still better report, to the oue
hundredth session of the convention
which meets December 7-9, 1921, in
Savannah. *
The New Year holds many Increased
opportunities of service for the Chris-
tlan people of the world end Georgia
Baptists are entering every open door
with the hope that they may help to
carry forward tha* program 7 of Jesus
Christ to the utnfost bounds, of the
earth. The present European plans
which the Baptists of the United
States and of every other nation In
the world have- adopted, given
Southern Baptists all of southern Eu
rope as territory for which we are re
sponsible In the preaching and teach
ing of Christianity. The peoples of
these nations are, heartily responding
to tho work of our Foreign Mission
Board, and this one aspect of the
work offers unlimited expansion of
tho work of tho denomination during
tho year.
Southern Baptists are also joining
in the campaign to relieve the Imme
diate suffering in China and Europe,
caused by famine and the general re
sults of the war. This work is chal
lenging many of our people to real
sacrifice. The offerings made to this
work aro being, transmitted by our
own Foreign "Mission Board and placed
in the hands of the sufferers at
minimum expense. Contributions for
this relief work should be sent to
Arch. C. Cree. Trias., Flatiron Bldg.,
Atlanta. Ga.. and designated as for
“Special Relief.” »
Our Home Mission Board U meet
ing the Increasing calls that cotne
to this great department of tho de
nomination. a id Is thereby having to
ask that our people meet the pledges
to the campaign promptly, thus giving
the hoard funds with which to carry
on this great work. The immense
sum of $2,900,003 was appropriated the
first year ot ih:> campaign by the
Home Board. IMitor Edmonds of the
Manufacturers’ Record recently said,
"The work of the Home Mission Board
is fundamental in America’s service to
the world." Georgia Baptists are glad
to hare a part in this great werk and
to -have the hoard located in this
state. *
Of the work which la more directly
handled by the Georgia Baptist Con
vention and having to do with cur own
Bessie Tift College sad the doien or
more preparatory school* forming the
complete system, the Baptist of Oeor-
gta have a good start in the great
work of teaching and training the
youth of the state. President Rufus
W. Weaver of Mercer University has
been elected chancellor ot the entlra
system and In co-operation with the
heads of the several Institutions he Is
working out a really great plan for the
schools. There are more students In
each of the Institutions than have at
tended In any previous year.
The Orphans' Home at HapevUIe la
an Institution In which Georgia Bap
tist* have always found great joy. The
cut In this story shows the generous
manner In which the Campbell and
Mercer Associations! have recently re-
membered the home by sending a car
loaded with good things for the hotne.
Tbit car It estimated to have been
worth a minimum of $3,000 to . the
home. It should be stated her* that
these gifts are all the more magnani
mous, when It It remembered that such
gifts are not credited'on the 75 lAl-
lion Campaign. They art-made as
voluntary expressions of esteem ot
the part of the individual churches.
The Georgia Baptist Hospital le rap
idly enlarging and will toon. be one
of the largest hospitals In> the Booth.
Tho recent session of the convention
authorised the hospital board to carry
forward the building plans ot the new
hospital plant In-Atlanta, and If nec
essary to issue a million and a half
dollars' worth of bonds. The Institu
tion la doing a great work, and not
only Georgia Baptists, but all Geor
gia people, appreciate Its service.
The evangelistic work ot the de
nomination reached-new high records
last year, and the Baptiste of Geor
gia feel that this phase of the work
must have first place in the plana
for 1921. Rev. T. F. Callaway baa
returned to the state and 1* at the
head of the evangelistic staff) It 1*
believed that there were more. than
30,000 baptisms In 1920 and every pas
tor and lay member In the stat* will
strive to make the number not lets
than 50,000 in 1921. The enlistment
department works hand In hand with
the evangelistic department In teach
ing and developing the entire program
of the denomination.
The Christian Index, the denomina
tion’s own paper, has recently observ
ed its centennial with an extraordinary
edition which Is enjoying a wide cir
culation. The convention 4tselt will
reach Its hundredth anivertary In 1122,
at which time there will be suitable
observance of the occasion.
Mercer University U soon to reach
its centennial also.
Georgia Baptists, join with other
Christians of the Empire State in
striving to make the New Year the
best period In the life ot our Mat*
and ot the world.

to become a leader In politics. Her
father Is disgusted with the wind-
