L.amont, Chairman, Tells of Relief Administered and Task to Be Completed. The American Committee for China Famine Fund, according to a state ment Issued by Thomas W. Lamont, chairman, lias reached the second stage of its mission of mercy of send ing funds from America to feed the millions of starving famine victims In the far eastern republic. At the low est estimate, the statement says, just ns much more is needed to carry “the last 5,000,000” through to the June harvest as has already been sent. Mr. Lamont points out that quick response by America to appeals made by President Harding and his prede cessor, President Wilson, has resulted In such prompt distribution of relief that the threatened magnitude of the famine has been checked to a marked extent. A continuation of the efforts so far made, it Is declared, will place the famine relief for China among America’s most effective philanthro pies. The Waiting Millions There remain, however, the state ment shows, a “last 5,000,000” to be saved, and these people can be saved only by continuous and voluminous re lief resulting from American subscrip tions. The statement, In part, follows: “Quick response to the appeal of the American Committee for China Fam ine Fund gives us at the half-way point in our work the cheering assur ance that the subscriptions from gen erous America already have served a great humanitarian purpose, Inasmuch ns relief already administered has held the famine In bounds and made it pos sible for America to save a multitude of human beings. “Whereas early estimates made it seem that millions must perish, we now are advised that Instead of the 15,000,000 who, It was originally fear ed, were doomed to death from hunger, relief at present In sight from all sources, American, Chinese and for eign, is sufficient to provide scanty ra tions until the June harvest for all ex cept 5,000,000 people. These Mast 5,000,000’ are destitute, according to our latest reports from the American Advisory Committee In Peking and are dependent for existence upon new help coming from outside sources, und this means America. From All the People "It Is the earnest hope of the Com mittee that the number of contribu tions made as well as the aggregate will be such as to'make our humanita rian gift, In a real sense, a gift of the American people as a whole. “One way to make Individual effort and generosity contribute toward sav ing China’s starving population is for every one responsive to China’s need, in effect, to ‘pick a pal In China for a day.’ The thought behind this special appeal In connec tion with the latter part of our effort will be for American men, women and children to choose, figuratively, a Chi nese famine victim as a friend for a day and to send what they spend one day on themselves or an American friend to the China Famine Fund ei ther through local committees, banks or churches or direct to Vernon Mtin roe, treasurer, Bible House, New York Cltv. Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine in the world. There is a reason —G. W. DeLaPerriere & Sons. THE WINDER NEWS Southern Baptists Wage Vigorous Warfare Against Tuberculosis In This Section , In one of the most extenstvo fights that has ever been made by any re ligious body in America for the eradi cation of disease. Southern Baptist*, through their Home Mission Board, have undertaken the task of combat ing tuberculosis In the 18 states com prising the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. The first step In this direction waa the recent estab lishment on a tract of 143 acres at El Paso, Texas, of the. Southern Bap tist Sanatorium, where $500,000 from the 75 Million Campaign has been in vested and where $500,000 more will be placed by the end of the Campaign period. The Institution is located at an altitude of 4,500 feet on the side of Mt. FYanklln and commands an excel lent view of the mountains of New Mexico, Western Texas and Old Mexico, whose border Is only six miles distant. Dr. H. F. Vermillion is super intendent. Included in this plant at present are the administration building, the newly completed women’s infirmary and ■ten’s infirmary, a heating and re frigerating plant and the superintend ent’s quarters. Provided for in the building plans for the future are a medical and educational building, nurses’ home, children’s building, dormitories for convalescent patients, an occupational and vocational therapy building, chapel, laundry and minor atructures. ISO People Dl Dally. Indicating the need of additional ef fort looking to the elimination of tu berculosis in the South, reliable fig ures gathered by the public health agencies of the South and the Nation show that there are 150 deaths daily from tuberculosis in the 18 states comprising the territory of the South ern Baptist Convention, making the annual death toll of the white plague in this section of the country alone THURSDAY-THANKSGIVING DAY “THE ROMANCE OF TARZAN” R E.CREATIOKxX /A fW PATIO vl KENS AND / Entrance to auiuo 1 N Q 67,782. The death rate from tuber culosis is 14.2% higher in the South than in the Nation as a whole. One reason for the exceedingly high death rate in the South is the great preva lence of the plague among the negroes who are especially susceptible to tuber culosis, the death rate among them being three and one-half times that among the whites. But inasmuch as the negroes will doubtless continue to be intimately associated with the whites in domestic and other work in the future, the whites will never be safe from Infection until the negroes, as well as the whites, have been freed from the plague. It has been estimated that the to tal economic loss from the ravages of tuberculosis in the South is $175,- 000,000 a year, and in projecting their warfare against the plague the Bap tists hope to greatly reduce this loss, as well as to save the life and promote the health and general efficiency of the whole people.

OT Kcnls Infirm ar*# tracted tuberculosis, the sanatorium la carrying on an educational work that seeks to inform the public at large through the printed page, aa to the danger of tuberculosis, how it can be avoided and how, once It i con tracted, its progress can be arreated through proper sanitary measure* at home. Other phases of the educa tional program include the training of workers Inside the sanatorium and occupational and vocational work for patients. The extension department Is widely disseminating literature on how to combat tuberculosis. An en dowment fund that is being created for the Institution will make possible a much larger circulation of literature and will also enable the Institution t take care of indigent patients. The sanatorium is at present seek ing to devise special plans whereby It can serve the negroes of the South in combating tuberculosis. It is felt that the negroes’ inability to help themselves In the matter entities theta to this consldeartlon and that thU assistance should be given, further more, as a means of self-protection on the part of the whites. Other Phase* ef Baptist Work. In addition to the Tuberculosis Sanatorium, Southern Baptists have a string of seventeen regular hospital* In operation and seven other* under course of construction. This hospital property Is valued at approximately $7,000,000 and these institutions last year treated 46,000 patients many of them being charity cases. Southern Bap tists also operate 19 orphanages la which approximately 5,000 orphan boy* and girls are cared for, educated and trained for Christian clUxeushla.
