Hunger is at once the most acute and the most brutalizing of bodily ills. It makes men animals in feroci ty; it cloulds all moral sense; it makes food the chief end of man, woman and child food, no matter what as to quality, source or supply: it has overthrown dynasties and wrecked civilizations; it knows no law social or political; if j as Napoleon said. 'an army travels on its stomach," then, certainly, a people without food must retrograde into savagerv and be come a danger to the peace and pros perity of the world. In that region of Northeastern China known as Kianpeh, of which Shanghai is the commercial capital and principal port, six provinces are now atfected by the famine tne-floods of last September brought about. I In these provinces are 20,000,000 people of whom 15,000,000 are affect ed by the all-prevailing destitution while fully.5,000,000 are absolutely without food (save such scanty ra tions as foreign and native relief doles out), without resources, with out hope. Ihere are more people starving to death in China to-day more by at least a million -than there were alive in America, north of the Rio Grande, when the Declaration of Independ ence was signed and this includes the aboriginal Indians in tne count. -"More-people will die in China of starvation, exposure and famine- bred disease within the next four or five months than were killed in bat tle, or died from wounds or disease in the Napoleonic wars, the great Civil War in the United States, the Boer war in South Africa and the late Russo-Japanese conflict. More people died from lack of food in the province of Anhui in the first week of February, 1907, than were engaged in active operations on the American side in the Ilispano- American war in 1898. Famine conditions in China grow more acute, more terrible, more mortal as the days go on and the sphere of destitution is daily enlarg ed. The famine commenced in Sep tember and hhs swelled in propor tions and deepened in horror for six months. The native government has done much by appropriation, by provid ing work, by contributions from of ficials, by reduction of taxes and by local distribution to mitigate the ter rors of the time. Foreign relief has been prompt and efficiently applied. Foreign residents in China have sub scribed, so far as accounts are at hand, more than $180,000 to the re lief fund. America has sent over $200,000, of which $151,000 is credit ed to The Christian Herald Chinese Relief Fund. All the native, all the foreign re lief however, is as nothing to the need. At best such relief can only mitigate a fraction of the suffering, save irom deatn a portion oi tne starving. It is truly worth while to make that fraction, that portion, as large as they call upon our con sciences and purses is loud and agonizing. Generous Americans do not need an appeal to their fears nor to their interests. It is sufficient to reach their human sympathies. None the less, is it fair to remember that a dollar contributed now may avert the necessity of spending mauy dol lars, later, to save lives and proper ty of Americans from hunger-crazed rioters.

John McVey, a missionary, who is working amount the settlers in the Bad river country, soundly whip ped two burly cowboys, George Car ney and Fred Temple, because they tried to compel him to take a drink of whiskey. The minister is a col lege man from the East, and used to be a football player boxer, and all round athlete. He was on his way to ranch to hold a religious meeting, when the two cowboys, whe had sworn to prevent the meeting, waylaid him; handed him a bottle, and told him to drink; He declined, whereupon they sought to force the liquor down his throat. In five minutes, with his bare fists, McVey knocked out both men and tooic from one of them a revolver which he had drawn in the scrap. Carney got up and shook hands with the missionary. Temple wa ugly and threatened to shoot McVey on sight. Carney, however, made his partner apologize to the mis sionary, shake hands with him ano promise to "treat him right" in the future. Then the three men mount ed their cayuses and rode on together to the ranch, where the meeting was to be held. At the meeting Temple got up and told how McVey had knocked out Carney and himself. - Public Diink and Profanity. Nrrth Can 1 na flirt-tian Advocate. The last Legislature did itself credit by many acts which look to the advancement of public morals, but none more than the one provid ing for the punishment of those who offend by public drinking. We already had a statute against profanity in public places. Those who drink in public are the ones who are in the habit of-defymg all decent taste by profane and vulgar con versation regardless ot the presence of rehned Christian men and women. Let this law be rigidly enforced. there has been improvement in recent years, yet on trains especially those frequented by whiskey bum rriers. one is often shocked with the filthy conversation, profanity and drinking. One of the strongest in dictmentsof the liquor business is the well-knownjfact that these things are invariably associated witn it When the crusade against the liquor evil has been pushed to its complex success, it will appear that these twin vices of. public drinking and profanity have gone with it in large measure. The fact is that a great family of evils cluster about the Whiskey evil and the most effective way of destroying these is to destroy the mother of them all. The South Carolina Immigrants. The Progressive Farmer last week gives us some information as to how the! immigrants landed at Charleston from the Wittekind, last November, are faring. Mr. James A. Hoyt, of Columbia, writing to the Progressive Farmer, says that many of the 1m migrants have drifted to other States and to cities where their kinsmen and countrymen live, but the most of them are in tthe State where they landed. Many of them have gone on the farms and are doing well. Around Columbia some of them have pur chased tracts of land in the sandhill country, which has for so many years lam untouched almost, and they are making the sandhills blossom as they have never blossomed before. One of the German immigrants, Count Wegel, who came over with Commis sioner Watson as a cabin passenger on the Wittekind, drives into town almost daily from his farm and his team is such a turnout as any pros perous farmer might envy. Count Wegel is an experienced truck farm er, and there are plenty more just as good where he came from." Intellect is essentially aristocratic; charity is essentially democratic.

YouDg Lady A Suicide. Morganton, April 11. The com munity was very much shocked to hear this morning that Miss Jessie BaHs', a member of the faculty, of the School for -the Deaf, had disap peared yesterday afternoon and, after being searched for during the night by the principal of the school and male teachers, no trace of her could be found. Searching parties composed of the citizens then started in every direction and about 11 o'clock this moning her body was found about one half mile from the school on a wooded hillside near the Southern railway. A bottle labeled carbolic acid was found by her side. Her face was terribly burned from the acid. The greatest mystery envelops this death, there beirjg not the slightest clue to any , reason for suicide. Miss Ball tought her classes as usual yesterday and said she would not attend the teachers meeting in the afternoon, as she was not well and "started off for a walk. She had destroyed all letters, taken off her rings and watch and left her trunk unlocked, something unusual for the teachers to do when leaving the building. She had been rather despondent for several weeks and complained of not feeling well, hav ing lost 25 pounds in weight, it was hoped that some note might be found, but so far there-is nothing to throw any light upon her tragic death. Miss Ball has been a teacher in the oral department of the chool f or the deaf since iy04 and was from Detroit, Mich. Living Typhoid Healthy Woman Proves a Factory. A puzzling case under observation in the reception hospital in New 1 orK city. 1 ne patient is a wom an, a cook apparently in perfect health, but who is detained because she is suspected of communicating typhoid to about twenty-five persons within the past six years. According to Doctor Walter Benzel the Sanitary superintendent of Manhattan Hospital, the woman is is literally a living typhoid factory She herself was stricken with the disease about six years age. It ran the usual course and she recovered. Now it is found that, in all the time she was declared cured of typhoid, she has kept on nurturing and developing typhoid germs. Though herself immune, the germs which she has been developing have been a constant source of danger and con tagion to all with whom she has come in contance. a irmi ur j . , ine JLord only knows what we can do with the woman," said Doctor Benzel. "We will keep her under observation and will certainly employ every means known to sience to locate and destroy the culture ground of germs which persists in lingering in her anatomy. Nature's Way Is Best. Tho function strengthening and tissue building plan of treatiug chronic, linger- A preacher came at a newspaper man in this way: "You editors do not tell the truth. If you did vou could not live: your paper would be a failure." The editor replied: "You are right, and the minister who will at all times and under all circum- these members alive or dead will not ; occupy his pulpit more than one Sun day and then he will find it necessary to leave town in a hurry. The press and pulpit go hand in hand with whitewash brushes and pleasant words, magnifying little virtues into big ones.
