Conducive to an ideal physical condi
tion is attested by Miss Marie Rustin,
graduate nurse, well known in Oregon,
who is now in charge of the Taylor
Memorial hospital, under the manage
ment of the American Presbyterian
mission at l’aotingfu, China.
In a letter written by Miss Rustin
less than eight weeks ago to the mem
bers of the Sangrael Christian En
deavor society of the First Presbyter
ian church in Portland, Miss Rustin
tells of the appalling conditions
throughout North China, where 45,-
000,000 men. women and children are I
confronted witli starvation and where
15,000 are dying dally. Miss Rustin
I has been at l’aotingfu for about three
i years and for many months past, tiko
all other misslou attaches and relief
workers in China, has been concentrat
ing all efforts on the task of lessening
the suffering of the famine victims.
While Paotingfu is on the outskirts
of the great drouth-ruined famine dis
trict, just south of Pekin, Miss Rustin
writes that even there all the missions
and relief stations are literally swamp-
! ed with the supplications of many
thousand men, women and children
, who are half-clad In thin rags, weak I
| from undernourishment and struggling
! desperately to keep alive on roots,
| bark or anything that offers susten-
j ance. The situation in the heart of
I the famine section, she says, is simply
beyond the imagination.

Miss Rustin. “here in our hospital try

patients who have been trying to live
