Terrifying Conditions In Ma
Province, China.
A MISSIONARY'S LETTER.
Holp Must Corns From Outside Befcro
Summer Starving Hordes Tear
Bark From the Trees and Ent It.
Pathetic Recital of the Suffe.-inoi
From Famine.
Pathetic details of the stifTcrlntpt
from famine In Anhui and other prov
lnces of China reach tho mission
boards In every mall. lit n letter to the
board of foreign missions of the Pres
byterian church tho Iter. Thomas Car
ter, a missionary stationed at Ilwni
yuen, in Annul province, writes:
"I never really knew what the Lord's
Prayer meant until today. We came
to u village where some Christians
gathered for worship. To hear that
company of men say 'Give us this day
onr daily bread' had a strange sound
when we know that not one of tlieiu
kad so much as seen bread for many
a day unless you call pressed sweet
potato vines bread. Somehow that
prayer must bo answered. We canno
let these people starve."
A million persons in the region just
north of his station, tho Rev. Mr. Car
tcr says, will die of starvation before
summer unless help comes from out
side. Ho adds:
Wheat Fields Flooded.
"It is only as wo look closely and
nsk questions that wo find out the
real state of affairs. Wo look nt t In
fields that looked so prosperous with
the winter wheat and we realize that
those fields were all under water lnsi
summer, tho fields of over 2.000.000
people, and that the wheat that we
see will not be ready until June, and
before that time, unless help conic,
tho larger part of the people that
planted the wheat will bo beyond us
ing it.
"And now we look again at the peo
ple who had come down to meet us
with their full rice bowls In tho bowls
there Is no rice. Tho bowls contai'i
chiefly hot water and some woods
gathered from the fields mixed with
a few grains of precious wheat
bought with the relief money just
given by the government, relief that
amounts to about 3 cents gold, given
only to tho very poorest that is. to
about half of tho population.
"This is something of what famine
means now. What it is going to moan
soon we scarcely dare to think, for
it Is still five months before wheat
harvest. Already in many places the
'bark is taken from the trees and
eaten."
BIG DAM NEARLY FINISHED.
Bello Fourche Project Is World's Lar
gest Earthen Embankment,
Tho big Bello Fourche irrigation
dam in South Dakota, which is the
largest earth embankment in the
world, is nearlng completion. Con
struction of the project was author
ized by congress on May 10, 1001, at
a cost of $5,000,000.
From an engineering standpoint the
Bello Fourche project is one of tho
most interesting which the govern
ment lias yet undertaken. Its prin
cipal structure Is the earthen dam.
This wonderful dike, which closes the
lowest depressions in tho rim of a nat
ural basin, Is 0,200 feet long, 20 feet
wide on top and 115 foot high in the
highest place.
Tho Inside face of this structure,
which has a slope of two to one, will
be protected from wave and lee notion
by two feet of screened gravel, on
which will be placed concrete blocks,
each 4 by 0 feet and 8 inches thick.
Tho cubical contents of this dike will
be 42,700,000 cubic feet, or about half
of tho famous pyramid of Cheops.
Tho reservoir created by this dam will
cover about 0,000 acres and will be
the largest lake in the state.

50,000 NEW YORK GIRLS
DOOMED TO BE OLD MAIDS
Scarcity of Men Is Given as tho Reason
Why Many Cannot Hope to Wed.
"In spite of writers who glvo formu
las to girls 'how to get husbands,' as
suring them that every girl can win
one if she makes herself attractive,
there are thousands of girls today who
haven't a ghost of a show at matri
mony. There are not enough men to
go around."
This Is tho cold blooded statement of
Dr. John Jackola. who backs up his
statement with figures.
Dr. Jackola's mother and sisters are
iimong the pioneer suffragists of Fin
land, where women have full suffrage
and whore there are 100,000 more
women than men in 3.000,000 popula
tion. Dr. Jackola declared that there are
B0.000 more women than men In Great
er New York alone and that no mat
ter what interest they had In looking
forward to matrimony for thousands
of them there was absolutely no hope.
Ho said that farming would solve the
serious and tho growing problem of
the "old maid."
"Farming can rightfully bo called a
woman's occupation," said Dr. Jackola.
"It is woman's nature to mother some
thing. If she has no babies to moth
er she can mother tho chickens."
WANTED HIS NAME ON MONEY
Because It Was Not He Felt Defraud
ed and Shot a Man.
There were just four diners in a lit
tle basement cafe called tho Plccola
Napoll, in New York's east side, one
night recently. Two wore laborers of
Sicilian birth whoso names have no
place in this story. Another was An
tonio Lavecchla, n grizzled haired
bricklayer out of a job, and one was
Vincenzo Ncspoll, also out of a job
by reason of his habits and his ways.
Tho bricklayer had finished his meal
and lolled in his chair, facing the
door. lie was smoking. Two tables
away sat Vincenzo, haggard nud trem
bly. Ho fumbled In his pockets, drew
out a soiled and crumpled five dollar
bill and smoothed it out on tho bare
table. Ills shaking finger idly traced
the figures on it. Then suddenly ho
jumped up yelling, nis bloodshot eyes
were staring wildly.
"They havo cheated mo again!" ho
shouted. "There's n V on this money,
but there should bo an N, too an N
I for my last name."
And with that ho pulled out a pis
tol and fired twice point blank into poor
old Lavecchla's breast. Both the bul
lets entered tho heart A twenty-five
cent piece would havo covered tho two
wounds. Antonio's head lolled for
ward on his chest and tho pipe slip
ped out of his mouth. Probably ho
never knew what hit him.
Perfection.
Perfection does not exist To under,
stand it is the triumph of human In

Cats of Pedigree

J j
CATS of high degree are becoming quite common In the United States,
and many of these feline pets that aro vnlued at hundreds of dollars
are shown annually at the shows held In New York, Philadelphia, Chi
cago, St. Louis and other largo cities. To most persons a cat is u cat,
but to the fancier there aro cats and cats. They range in value from tho deni
zen of the alloy, worso than useless because it is a nuisanco with Its nocturnal
yowling, to the pedigreed animal valued at $500, $1,000 or even $2,000. Cats
are divided Into two classes, tho long haired and tho short haired. The Per
sians and the Angoras, tho urlstocrats of tho cat world, belong to the long
haired class. Such are the prize winning kittens shown In tho lower picture.
Aren't they Just too cuto? The short haired cats ore not so valuable as the
others, but the husky Maltese, valued because they aro good mous'crs, are
often sold for as much as a milk cow. The upper picture shows an English
cat that has acquired habits which many will condemn. This cat likes ale and
is able to drink it from the bottle. Its owner declares, however, that his pet
la extremely temperate, knows when it has enough and, what Is more Impor
tant, quits drinking when that stage li reached.

:e VOTES.
Twtnty six Stat:: 'Save Accepted the
Proposed Amendment.
Nine more ytntes must ratify the pro
posed federal Income tax amendment
before It can become n part of thi con
stitution. Reports received from the
capitals of the t'ii'ty-e'. states show
that the amendment has received fa
vorable action In the joint legislatures
of twenty-six.
Three states, Vermont. Uhodo Island
and Utah, havo refused to ratify the
amendment nt this year's legislative
sessions, while New Hampshire has
taken favorable action In one branch
of tho legislature only. Among tho six
teen which havo not yet acted this
year the question is now pending in
tho legislatures of Louisiana, New
York, Massachusetts, Maine, Connecti
cut, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
The matter is scheduled to bo taken
before the legislature of Florida next
month. West Virginia has "postpon
ed" action, and the states of Arkansas,
Tennessee, Wyoming, Minnesota nud
Delaware have not considered the
amendment.
JAP STATION IN MEXICO.
United States Consul Reports Attempt
to Get Coaling Station.
American Vice Consul It. n. Staddln,
located nt Manzanlllo, Mexico, reports
that tho Japanese are negotiating for
a coaling station nt that point, thus
confirming charges to this effect com
ing from Europe and elsewhere. Mr.
Staddln gives the following report:
Negotiations arc in progress between
the Toyo Klscn Kaisha, tho Japanese
transpacific steamship line, and tho
National Hallways of Mexico, looking
to tho establishment of a coaling sta
tion at Campos, nbout two and n half
miles from Mauzanillo, on the line of
the National Hallways. Ships of tho
Toyo IClson Knlsha touch at Manzanll
lo on tho run from Yokohama to ports
on tho west coast of South America,
ending at Valparaiso, Chile, nnd return.
If the coaling station bo established
these ships will coal homeward bound
at Manzanlllo, and an effort will be
made to sell coal also to the Navlera
line of steamers, which ply in the Mex
ican coastwise trade.
Until recently tho Toyo Klsen Kai
sha found little cargo for Its ships out
bound from Yokohama to South Amer
ica, and it was planned to havo those
ships carry coal to the proposed sta
tion at Manzanlllo.
. Incident to these vnrlous negotiations,
rumors havo arisen that coal fields ex
ist along the west coast of Mexico.
One of the more persistent of those
rumors is to tho effect that tho South
ern Pacific railway has found coal
along the line of its proposed exten
sion to Topic.

mend. We nre so positive that our remedy
will permanently relieve constipation,
no matter how chronic It may be. that
wo offer to furnish the medicine at our
expense should It fall to produce satis
factory results.
It Is worse than useless to attempt
to cure constipation with cathartic
drugs. Laxatives or cathartics do
much harm. They cause u reaction,
Irritate and weaken the bowels and
tend to make constipation more chron
ic. Besides, their use becomes a habit
that Is dangerous.
Constipation Is caused by a weak
ness of the nerves nud muscles of the
large Intestine or descending colon. To
expect permanent relief you must
therefore tone up and strengthen these
organs nnd restore them to healthier
activity.
We want you to try Rexall Order
lies on our recommendation. They nre
exceedingly pleasant to take, being
eaten like candy, and are Ideal for
children, delicate persons and old folks,
as well as for the robust. They act
directly on the nerves and muscles of
the bowels. They apparently have a
neutral action on other associate or
gans or glands. They do not purge,
cause excessive looseness nor create
nny Inconvenience whatever. They may
be taken at any time, day or night.
They will positively relieve chronic or

There Is more Catarrh In this sec
tion of tho country than all other
diseases put together, and until the
last fow years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced It a local disease
and n"5icrlbed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Scicnco has proven catarrh to be a
constitutional disease and therefore
requires constitutional treatment.
