Personal charm is like a light.
It sheds its light everywhere. Is
the light of your personal charm
hidden under a bushel of bad

do you wear a tired look-almost
a scowl? Do you tire easily? Are
you pale and lacking in vital en

You are not really ili. Your
blood has become w~ak and slug

need is the blood-makirig qualit

Pepto-Mangan a little while you
will feel a big improvement. The
smiles will come back. People will
see a difference in you. Yot will

Children at the Bread Kitchens

Three and a half million children in eastern and central Europe wait, gaunt
and pinched like these, at the American kitchens for the hot soup and bread
that mean life to them. In the winters since the Armistice, America has been
the one friend that had food to give them. It is a common sight in Europe
today to see a child five or six years old whose head has not healed. With a
healthy well fed baby the skull should close before two years. America must
see these children through the rigors of another winter, and to that end eight
great rel4ef organisations have combined Into the European Relief Council
They seek to raise $33,000,000 to save this generation of Eiurope from death b)
starvation and the diseases that come With under feeding.
An Appeal to the American People
TRREE and one-half million children in Eastern and Central Europe
have no alternative to disaster between now and next harvest ex
cept American aid. For months these most helpless sufferers in the
track of war have been admitted to American feeding-stations only it
tragically undernourished, and have received American medical aid only
if desperately threatened by death from disease.
One 5 cent hot American meal today has saved a theusand lives.
Winter is closing down. The money of many nations is valueless out
side their own boundaries. Economic and crop conditions make famine,
with its terrible train of diseases, a certain visitor until next harvest. Inev
Itably the helpless children will suffer most. No child can grow to health
and sanity on the pitiful makeshifts for food with which millions of Euro
pean adults must content themselves this winter. It is obvious that the
remedy can come only from outside.
America saved 8,000,000 European children winter before last. Nor
mal recuperation cut the need nearly in half last year, but unusual condi
tions have resulted in scant shrinkage of child destitution during the
twelvemonth just past. The response of America must now decide whether
8,500,000 of these charges, in acute distress, shall begin to be turned away
in January from more than 17,000 asylums, hospitals, clinics and feeding
stations dependent on American support. There would be no tragedy in
history so sweeping or so destructive of those who can deserve no evil.
The undersigned organizations, Working among every race and creed.
many engaged also in other forms of relief, agree unanimously that the
plight of these helpless children should have complete priority in over
seas charity until the situation is met. This is an issue without politics
and without religious lines. There can be no danger of pauperization,
for the $23,000,000 for child food, and the $10,000,000 for medical service.
that we seek, will relieve only the critical cases. The medical supplies,
of course, must be an unqualified gift, but for every American dollar used
In child-feeding, the governments and communities aided furnish two dol
lars in the form of transportation, rent, labor, clerical help, cash contri
butions and such food supplies as are locally obtainable.
America has not failed in the past in great heartedness. She has
never had a more poignant call than this. Contributions should be turned
over to the local committees which are now being formed for this national
collection, or sent to Franklin K. Lane, Treasurer, Guaranty Trust Co.,
New York City.
