ej)gs of hunger.
These starving orphans, housed in the Tr bizond Onh;i::age. for some
time have nut known the joys of tae Yult;de season tur do they search
tor that happiness that will come to the children of this country. They are
ealy yearning fur the suosmnce of life, for the loving touch of a warm hand

Above is a scene showing the homeless children waiting for North Car
olinians to set the table Through Chairman George 11 Hellamy. of the
North Carolina Division of the Near Kast RelieX. they are appealing as follows:
"TO EVERY MAN AND WOMAN IN NORTH CAROLINA:
"The ClUlxDREIN OF SORROW stand before you! They are nigged,
homeless and hungry, but they are not hopeless. In their simple faith they
turn trustingly to you.
"The CHILDRN OF SORROW! There are unknown thousands of thpm,
110,639 of whom are under American care. It is an appalling number of
pitiful, orphaned wards the Near Knst Relief must shelter under its merci
ful wings. There is mile after mile of human misery to be relieved. Fa
therless and motherless, these are the children of Armenians, Greeks,
Syrians, and Jews, made homeess and dependent by the atrocities of the
Turks. They will have no place this year at the family table of their own
d the great day we celebrate.
"As you eagerly plan this festival for the children clear to your own heart,
think for a moment what it would mean if some terrible fate deprived them
ef your low and care, left them desolate, suffering with disease and bitter
cold. Yet thosi; children across the sea were once the adored and beloved
babies of other fathers and mothers whose protecting' love they will never
know again. Won't you set a place for th -m at your table on Christinas
Day?
"At Trebizond, North Carolina is cailng for 3.:::i4 orphans. Ftvi
dollars a month, sixty dollars a year will save the life of one ."hi Id.- At this'
season of giving will not you let the claim of one of these Cll ll.DRKN OF
BORROW find a place in your heart'.' His hungry eyes look at your well fed
children, and his longing hand readies- out t. your Chris'nui.s tree.
"Will you bring a siailf to this OHM. I) OK SOR.ROW by sharing with
the vour ( " i rl stnuis ?

PROGRAM ADOPTED BY NORTH
CAROLINA VOTERS' LEAGUE
One of the two major objects of
the North Carolina League of Women
is to support improved legislation,
and the league has adopted a pro
gram to be backed at the 1921 ses
sion of the general assembly which
includes some very important social
legislation. The president of the
league, Miss Gertrude Weil of Golds
boro, is sending out letters to women
all over North Carolina explaining
the proposed legislation, and asking
that they give it their active support
by personally requesting their State
(senators and representatives to vote,
for the measures.
"Out of the ashes of the Equal
Suffrage Association has risen the
League of Women Voters," states the
letter. "The accomplishment of the
old organization's object, the attain
ment of the vote, has led to the need i
of greater accomplishment, the at- j
tainment of definite results by imeans j
of the vote.
"The. following legislative program
has been adopted for the 1921 ses- ;
sion of the general assembly: j
"Raising the age of consent to 16
years. I
"Provision for mothers' pensions. I
"Provision for State censorship of ;
moving pictures.
Auquace appropriation for Jack
son Training School.
"Adequate appropriation for Sam
arcand Manor.
"Establishment of a school for de
linquent colored boys.
"These ' are all matters that with-
out controversy will elimit the sym
pathy of all women."

FOB A BAD COLD
Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take a
tablespoonful of the tea, put a cup of
boiling water upon It, pour through a
sieve and drink a teacup full at any
time during the day or before retiring.
It ia the most effective way to break a
cold and cure grip, as it opens the
pores of the skin, relieving congestion.
Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a
cold from the system.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive

was tbe feast of St. Nicholas, alias
Santa Claus. He has nothing what
ever to do with Christmas, and his
visit then is an Anglo-Saxon anach
ronism, which came from America
fifty years ago. As their patron saint,
children were taoght to look to Nich
olas for care anfl protection. To show
the reality of his loe for boys and
ciris. parents related that on his eve
he went up and down the rurth re
