K A Group of Boys and Girls in the Tennessee Baptist Orphans Home near Nashville who are being cared for and trained for useful lives. Does your heart go out to the worthy boy and girl bereft by the Grim Reaper of father and mother, and left alone in the world without the fostering care of those to whom they are naturally most dear in the world? Then you will understand why Southern Baptists have established orphanages in fifteen states, are car- t m r AAA L- .LIU I .1 tomeTan"a iFilSR them for useful iiv.es in the Z2l)CZTSaZ But the need is far greater than the ahjMty Qiese JnstluHons to meat It1" While fivTlhousand children "are being cared for in these orphanag?s, there are on the waiting list of these Institutions fully five thousand more equally worthy, fatherless and moth erless boys and girls who want the privileges which these orphanages af ford but which must be denied them for the present because there is no room with whirh to eheltef more cf them. So when th? Baptist TP Mlll'on Cam paign was launched for the enlarge ment of the work of the denomination along general lines in an effort to meet growing spiritual needs in the homeland and througnout the world, the sum of $4,ToO,000 was apportioned to the orphanages, this sum to coy-r b" prog"ar3 of five years, as tne $7.",- ; 000.000 sought in the campaign will be raised in cash and five year pledges: during Victory Week, November o j December 7. Ars In the homes that have been pro Tided for the orphans facilities are provided for giving regular schooling ; of the same character that is afforded In the public schools, beginning witn the kindergarten and continuing to the tenth and eleventh grades in the , 13 MILLION HE PEOPLE 1101 SAVED THIS IS ONE OF THE PRESSING STATE MISSION PROBLEMS IN THE SOUTHLAND. THE SITUATION IS OUTLINED Baptist 75 Million Campaign Has Ap portioned $11,0C0,000 To Be Em ployed During the Next Five Years in Meeting Need. Within the eighteen states comprising the territory of the -Southern Iiaytiit convention are 13,000,000 white peopie who are not only not identified with any cburcb, but who do not claim to be christians, according to information gathered by the BapUst T5 Million Campaign. To try and reach the.-ie people with the gospel is one of :he aims of the campaign and to meet the problem the state mission organiza tion in the various states will set themselves. To help these organiza tions In meeting that problem the sum of $11,000,000 has -been apportioned from the total of $75,000,000 that is sought for all purposes, and during the r.ext five years the state mission forces will seek to reach these mil lions of people right here at home with the gospel and enlist them in some phase of christian work. According to this same source of in formation, It is learned that there are 8,391 towns and villages in the South with a population of 200 or more in which there are no Baptist church or ganizations or no Baptist houses cf worship. Inasmuch as these towns in fluence more or less the surrounding territory an effort will be made to reach them ar.d the territory sur rounding them during the five-yeir program n' the B if.ists, it la an nounred The."; ue :r enty four county seats bs V- J high school. This work in the school room is supplemented, however, with practical training along industrial anl other lines. For instance, the boys are given courses in practical farm work or. farms which have been pur chased and are operated by the homes, livestock production, carpentering, tin work, plumbing, laundrying, and the like as well as courses in business for those who show special adapta tion for that lias of work. " L- The school room york for the glrlg in supplemented with the study ofmu Tc, domestic science, stenography anj the like Iarge attention Tsgiven to the religious life of the children, also, and this is given emphasis in th9 daily chapel services, end in the Sun day School and preaching services on the Sabbath The orphan children respond readily to the opportunities nd privileges ff forded them and fit-re have gone out from these institutions a number of the most useful men and women in the various states. While tahing pride in the accomplishments of the boys and fcirls who arc in the homes st pregHT as w"l as tho?e who ha.e ' -1,-, ,S, gone out from there to make their own way in the world, the superintendent and tear. hers are saddened by the fact (h f h that there are so nianv other helpless children who ought to be aid"ed" bflt can net be by reason of the limita tions of the homes. Enlargements are necessary for all of the fifteen orph inages fostered ty Southern Baptists which are located In the following states: Alabama, Ar kansas, Florida. Georgia, Illinois, Ken tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis souri. North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. in the South without a single Baptist church or meeting house, It has been ascertained by the campaign head quarters. By reason of the large num ber of public officials residing there, and the large number of people who go there from every section of the county to attend the sessions of the various courts, pay their taxes and the like it is regarded that the county seat towns are of especial importance and it is hop d that before the next five years have passed there will be an active Baptist church in every county seat in t:.e South. Engaged in the work of state mis sions at pre.-eut are 1521 missionaries, ai,d whiie this may seem like a reason able number, wh.n the vast territory to le serud is considered it has been found that lully l.uuu extra men and women are m cd.-d at once, for in ad UiUou to ieaiiuug the people who ar) not christians :u- re are many weak, strug'. it,g (hutches which need as.sis-t-ance and whose members need devel opment. In the several states of the .Soutiieru Bapiist convention, for in . ...i e. there are H.OOO churches with membership of many thousand which i:iw but very little to any interest of tiie denomination and which are doinj hut very small things for the uplift of their communities. In addition to these very weak churches, many of which have no pas tor, there are in the various states a total of 19,688 churches which have preaching services only once a month, 3,000 churches which have serviced ! .

"I gained thirteen pounds on taking Thii!:u- :iinl feel as hearty as I ever did," said Mrs. Ella Faulkner, of 2916 Black burn street, Dallas, Tex. "I had no ajipetite, " she continued, ' ' and the misery in my stomach after eating was frightful. The gas pressure on my heart would almost smother me to death aiid I was actually afraid at times to lie down. I had awful pains in my feet and legs, was constipated and suf fered constantly from headaches. I often had dizzy spells and was so nervous I could har.lly sleep. I took all kinds of medicines, but nothing helped me. "For five years I hail been going down like this and hail about lost all hope of getting well, and was down in bed for several weeks ln-fore trying Tanlac. Kince taking this nie-li'-ine my appetite has im proved, my nerves have become quiet and I never have a headache or pain of any kind. I sleep sound as a child and get up full of life and energy and am able to work all day long without getting tired." All Druggists Sell Tanlac. PRISONERS OF WAR IN ENG LAND WELL CARED FOR. BERLIN, Sept. :!0 The prisoners of war, returned from England, are well fed and clothed, writes C. M. Schmidt from the collection camp at Meschele, where the men are concentrated and then are sent to their homes. They are natually overjoyed to be at home, their relatives sometimes frantic with joy at having them. The pleasant picture is dulled only by one blot the Independents, Spartacists and Commun ists fire already at work trying to win the prisoners to t'ieir side, and have even placed agents where they fan most easily pet in touch with the men arid J'jeaeh their unrest and chaos and disorder. The forces behind the move have put a great number of Communistic and Spartacist women into the game, on the theory that the prisoners after years without their wives and sweethearts will succumb more easily. Herr .Schmidt re ports to his own obvious suticfaction that the women are having little success, and the prisoners iu hutte majority announce their intention of standing by the em pire. There it however, a minor element among the prisoners themselves that promises possible trouble that element which was tl.e last drawn into the army, and went to the front unwillingly and determined to desert at the first moment. Those men are the innlc0ttt"ts and trouble-makers but Herr Schmidt says that even they are not very effective in breed ing trouble and disorder among the great mass. It is easy comparatively to take care of the regular transports of prisoners, large as they are; says Schmidt, but far great er trouble and danger comes from the line. As he appears in Germany, beg ging food and clothing and other gifts, be is in at least "( per cent of all ;&ses a swindler who is exploiting the situa tion. Senators are public servants. You can tell they are servants by the length of time it takes them to do anything. Fountain Iun (S. C.) Tribune. NOTICE OF SUMMONS. North Carolina, Gaston County, in the Su perior Court.
