and the work in the other divisions was
gotten up-to-date. The correspondence
OF the Pension Office. which at this time
OF the year is considered enormous. was
also expedited TO such an extent that
even those who at first could not agree
with Mr. Warner that red tape" was
not necessary are now glad the change
was made.
This elimination OF the red tape"

the scheme. as was announced in The

had under consideration. Some addi-

the Secretary OF War that Mr.. Bishop

THE RUSSIAN ICON.
II Is Simply a Religious Picture
Blessed by Priest.

II Is Simply a Religious Picture
Blessed by Priest.
An icon Is simply religious picture,
generally Of little artistic merit, and
the subject usually represented is ei-
ther Russian saint, some event In the
life Of Jesus Christ OF the Virgin Mary.
In the Greek church, rs in other Chris
tian churches, the worship Of craven
images is forbidden, but no objection
is made to anything reproduced on a
fat surface. Therefore icons are per.
mitted In the form Of mosaics, paint
ings, enamels or prints. They play ar
important part In the religious life of
the Russians and are to be met with
eTerywhere-in churches, public Offices,
private houses and shops. A picture
to become an icon must be blessed BY
a priest, and it is then regarded not en-
ly as an ornament, but as an accessory
in the worship Of the Greek church.
Icons are also worn on the person,
when they take the form Of plaque
or a book with two leaves. Almost ey-
cry soldier wears one On his bosom,
and when he prays he takes out his
icon and, opening it, kneels down be-
fore it as if it were portable altar.
Every regiment has its own icon,
which It carries as it would carry It's
banner when the regiment goes into
battle.

DREADFUL POlSONS.

The Fumes Of Mercury Ncthide VIII
Produce IncurabIc Idiocy.
"The more dreadful poisons.' said a
chemist. "are only known to & few
men. Mercury methide, for instance.
the inhalation of whose fumes pro-
duces incurable idiocy, can be manu-
factured by two italians and by no
one else in the world.
"Dhatoora is a poison used in India.
1t. too, produces incurable idiocy. A
British army officer told me Of a sad
case-a case of two rival tailors, one
Of whom gave the other small dose
of dhatoora. The victim Of the drug
remained an idiot all the rest of his
life. He sat and moved his empty
hands as though he were sewing. he
was a formidable rival no longer.
"Mercaptan produces a melancholy
so great as to terminate nearly always
in suicide. No government would per-
NIT the manufacture and sale Of this
poison.
"Dhatoora, mercury methide, mer-
captain and some twenty other poisons
are neither made nor sold in arg pub
lie way. They are only experimental

able weapons in unscrupulous hands.
Driving their victims to suicide or to
insanity, they leave behind them moth
ing suspicious or untoward. The giver
Of these poisons is secure from any

We should remember that ia
pan is fighting war not OF her
seeking, butprovoked by Russia:
that the great triumph of her
arms on sea and land which ap-
pal Europe, were not fought for
in a spirit Of aggression. but
were made necessary by the ag-
gression of a European power.
Japan's programme is a policy
of tranquility at home and
abroad. Her purpose IS TO pro-
mote the welfare and happiness
of her own people. It is a re-
proach to the West that it sus-
poets the motives of a country
that has done so much in the in
terests of humanity, and that is
actually fighting alone a war
that is as much the cause of Eng
land and America and China as
it is her cause. It is reproach
to our courage that we, a group

with fleets covering the seas,

WHAT THE WHITE RIBBON HAS
DONE FOR Me.

'Tis not snowy or grand, but
simple and plain, our bow OF
white ribbon, yet it means so
much to me. It doesn't signify
that the wearer only refrains
from drink, as some people sup
pose, but it means purity and
love Of God.
We are all so weak and faulty
no matter how hard We try to do
right, and we are apt to be self
ish nearly always. I have felt
many times that my task was too
hard, and I must give it up and
leave it unfinished. [ have
thought the call of duty to be too
stern and unrelenting, and I
would rebel against it. 1t has
seemed that the battle which !
must needs fight was too fierce
for one so weak to enter. | have
come very near being a coward.
It was then that the white rib
bon helped me to look at it re-
minded me of my promise to
keep my heart rure and love my
Creator. Then I would think,
those who love Him must serve
Him, and the task became light
er, duty less stern, and the bat
tie easier to fight. In fact the
white ribbon has helped me to
do my honest duty.
Some people feel very un-
friendly toward our union and
make unkind: hurting remarks,
which is very discouraging in
deed. Some have even gone so
far as to ridicule it, and say it
does more harm than good.
Then I am tempted to think and
say hard things, but my white
ribbon tells me that I must not.
I don't like to argue religious
matters, and I don't think it's
right. When people can't agree
about such things or discuss
them friendly, they should avoid
the subject. But | have some
times been almost forced into
arguments about temperance,
and have been defeated as many
or more times than I've won.
Have been called prejudiced,
bias and fanatical on the sub
iect. During those dark, tempt
inc times the little white ribbon
has been to me a source of
strengthened encouragement.
The sweetest comfort that
comes to me from the white rib
bon, I'm afraid, is a selfish one.
After a day of toll and conflict,
labor and strife, I sink YEARLY
down to rest, it says so sooth-
ing and consolingly, ''She hath
done what she could" Again, It
the day has been victorious and
I have won successes for the
cause that I love, it speaks
cheerfully the silent message,
:sShe hath done what she could. F"
Since the white ribbon helps
me in so many ways, and is pro-
ductive of good, I hope l may
never cease to wear it. or DISC
bey it's teachings; but, instead |
humbly desire to be enbued with
power from Him for whose sake
I wear it, to induce others to join
our band and wear with US the
simple but blessed white ribbon.
