THE WORLD LOOKS AGHAST
AT DESOLATED HOLY LAND
Places Where Our Savior Walked and
Where His Miracles Were Per
formed, Beckon to You
♦
The Near East,. Where Millions of Human Beings Are Starving
In the area shown in the above map, millions of Armenians, Assyrians
and Greeks, victims of German kultur and Turkish savagery, are starving
to death. It shows the Bible lands of the Christian, the old holy places
of the Jews and the sacred places of Mohammedanism, another of earth’s
powerful religions. The Holy Land is in the very center of the map. All
this lies under the pall of famine, with only America to'look to for relief.
A certain series of maps that have
made their appearance in many store
windows, at postoffices, railroad sta
tions, and in churches and school
houses, is arousing in both oid and
young an interest in the geography of
the oldest country of which most of
us have not even a vague knowledge.
This map contains a line at the top
that reads as follows: “Where mil
lions of human beings are starving—
Western Asia.” This map does aot be
gin to tell the story alone. The tele
graphic reports in your daily papers
tell of the suffering and dying. The
map merely fascinates one with the
names that lie became familiar with
in childhood and that even now fill
him with reverential awe when he
sees them becokoning to him from
the map.
For it is the Holy Land that is
shown so conspicuously in the very
center of this modern chart.. There
appears Jerusalem, the magnificent
city of David, the city around wV.ich
the Bible is written. Directly north,
and not far removed, is Nazareth,
where Jesus grew lo manhood and be
gan his work. Just a few mfles
southwest of Jerusalem Is Bethlehem,
, where the angels rejoiced when He
was boin in the manger.
At olher points on the map are
shown Damascus, said to be the old
est city in the world, and Tarsus,
where the Apostle Paul lived before
he became Jesus’ most devoted fol
lower.
And, while the map with the fami
liar names arouses memories of the
Sabbath School and the lessons
taught at mother’s knee, one wonders
why the map now in this twentieth
century takes on new interest.
And that in the pity of it. Tn all
of those sacred places yrim want and
pestilence stalk. Thousands of fol
lowers of Christ, driven from their
homes by tho Turks in the world war,
bereft of all their possessions, are
dying from actual starvation, and the
stricken lands around them are un
able to extend a nelping hand.
Jesus is not there In body to per
form the miracle of the leaves end
fishes, nor to change the water into
wine. The places where Christ press
ed his feet are now abodes of efire
distress. The stricken millions reach
out their hands to America for the
things that will save their lives.
America, the land of plenty, un
scathed by war and with her unlimit
ed financial recources undrained, is
the only country that can give tho
required aid. The government can
not do this officially, for there is no
nation to deal with—only helpless
millions.
President Wilson, in an official
proclamation, has endorsed the Ar
menian and Syrian Relief Campaign
that will save these starving peoples.
An appeal is made to America for
$30,000,000 to perform the task. Ar
kansas is asked to contribute $150,
000 as her share of this fund. Pu
laski county will be expected to
contribute $30,000, or one-fifth of tho
total for the state. This county’s
quota is so small that it should be
raised on the first day o? the cam
paign, which begins February 3 and
ends February 10.
Thus this new tmd proud land ef
ours, with its inestimable resources,
is asked to aid the stricken people
of the land with the divine id story.
Christian Arkansas rcclls the Sa
vior’s teachings and will not wfithhoU
the support that will aid in s -■ rv
millions of lives.

ICE CREAM MAN
SAYS HE THOUGHT
HIS TIME HAD COME.
Could Find No Relief From His Suf

Since Taking Tanlac He Declares.
It is indeed doubtful if there is a
better known or more highly respect
ed man in Knoxville, Tennessee, than
C. M. Smith. “Cal”, as he is known
to his host of friends, has been prom
inently identified with the ice cream
manufacturing business in that city
for a number of years, occupying a
responsible position with the Mono
Ice Cream Company. In relating his
remarkable experience with Tanlac,
Mr. Smith recently said:
“About one month ago, I had a se
vere attack of what the doctors de
scribed as acute indigestion, and for
several days I was a very sick man.
Shortly after eating, one day, I be
gan to experience a very full, uncom
fortable feeling in my stomach. I
had never had anything like it before
and I hope 1 never will again, for
my stomach swelled up so from gas
that I cogld hardly breathe. My
hands and feet got cold and clammy
and my pulse weak. I felt like I’d

and begun to think my time had
come.
“A friend of mine told me about
this Tanlac and I sent and got a bot
tle and started taking it. Well, sir,
you can believe it or not, but I begun
to improve from the very start. By
the end of the week I was all
straightened out again and now that
I’ve taken three bottles, I feel like a
new man. 1 have forgotten all about
the indigestion and can eat just any
thing I want.
“Tanlac just beats anything I ever
saw. Nearly everybody in my neigh

all praising it.”
Tanlac is sold in Newport by drug
