parative safety behind breastworks, un-
less they are within the accurate range
of our war vessels. In every engagement
our men have shown the most heroic
bravery and steady-strong nerves, coupled
with determination. When Farragut and
Cushing taught the world, In the naval
engagements Of our late war, of what ma

Dewey and Hobson.
For all the risks thai are run by our
men and the critical moments they ex-

their nerves stretched 10 the breaking
point. there is unfortunately another
tremendous nervous strain endured by
the loved ones at home. the women. The
wife mother or sister at home sits wea-

the men who are taking desperate risks

poignantly the stabS of poverty and pri-

Il believe that the sick and suffering
women of this country. says Doctor
Pierce, of Buffalo, n. Y, whether in
times of war or peace, are entitled TO just
as much sympathy as We bestow upon our
military and naval heroes; just as much

as high an appreciation of their heroic
fortitude and endurance.
