CHILDREN ARE SO WEAK
THAT THEY CANNOT WALK.
"Or. Goldflamm of Wamaw tells
ma upon the authority of his
medical reputation that In his
clinic during the past year there
has not been a Jewish child up to
four years of age who could walk.
Some of the children have forgot
ten, have unlearned how to walk.
They have been rachitic from un
dernourishment, from being fed
once a day this warm potato soup
and this hunk of bread."
From an eye-witness.
First hand Information of tlietttarva
tlon and destitution of the Jewish pe
pies of Poland and Czecho Slovakia, aa
it exists today, Is brought out of this
land of sorrow and horror by Herbert
Hoover, head of the Inter-allied relief
organization, who has returned , to
Vienna after a trip of lnetloh.
Mr. Hoover declared tjat( (lie eco
nomic situation In much of the terri
tory he visited could oh)y he treHd
by the term "complete demoraliratlou."
lie continued: . ; , uY., h
"As a result of seven Invent on by
different armies, the country has been
largely denuded of building. These
regions are four-fifths uncultivated."
The territory which Mr. . Hoover
visited Is but a part of (hat In which
6,000,000 Jews, sufferers of war aud

WHAT AMERICAN DOLLARS
MEAN TO STARVINC JEWS
The Need: 8IX MILLION STARVINO
SOUL8.
Six million Jews In Poland, Lithu
ania, flallcla, Palestine, Turkey and
Siberia are dying of starvation. Re
fugees, they wander homeless, hungry.
In rags. Herbert Hoover has ssld that
one million people will die In Eastern
Europe this winter. Thousands upon
thousands will perish of starvation
and exposure unless Immediate aid
cornea from America. The destitution
of Jewish war sufferers during the
coming months will probably surpass
anything ever known in the. history of
human suffering. Their suffering Is
worse than death It Is the lingering
torture of stsrvatlon, the piteous
tragedy of emaciation, . the horrible
watting, In agony of hunger, for the
grim reaper to end their misery. These
six million despairing souls are totally
dependent on American generosity for
the bare necessities of life.
The Object: $39,000,000 for 6,000,000
LIVES.

Experts or Theorists
Which?
The packing industry is intri
cate, complex far more so than
the railroads or the telegraph.
Every day multiplying needs
of society increase its problems
and multiplying responsibilities
demand more of it
Highly trained experts, spec
ialists of years experience,
thinkers and creative men, de
vote their lives, their energies,
their activities, to solving the
problems of the packing industry
and meeting its widening duties.
Swift & Compariy is not a few
dozen packing plants, a few
hundred branch houses, a few
thousand refrigerator cars, and
a few million dollars of capi
tal, but an organization of such
men. It is the experience, in
telligence, initiative and activity
which operates this physical
equipment
Can this intelligence, this ex
perience, this initiative and cre
ative effort which handles this
business at a profit of only a
fraction of a cent per pound from
all sources, be fostered through
the intervention of political
theorists, however pure their
.purposes? Or be replaced by
legislation? Does Congress really
think that it can?
Let us send you a Swift "Dollar".

Ua Tlma to Advantage,
Time, which never stands still Itself,
will not allow any one of as to stand
still. It delivers Into our hands sixty
minutes every hour and compels us to
dispose of them In some way. Whether
we will or not, a constant accounting
has to be rendered. One who falls Into
the habit of dissipating time dissipates
not only opportunity but happiness, for
the spendthrift of time becomes a
spendthrift of the other things which
make life worth while. Forbes Maga

What d'yer know
about that?
EVERY other cigarette you ever smoked
stopped somewhere short of giving
you what Chesterfields can and do give
the greater enjoyment of a cigarette that
satisfies.
Chesterfields do more than please the taste.
They go straight to your "smoke-spot. They
let you know you're smoking. They satisfy
just as a bite before bedtime satisfies when
you're really hungry.
Fine Turkish and Domestic tobaccos
wonderfully blended that's the answer.'
And the blend is the manufactxirei'a
