THE RED CROSS.

''The religion that expresses itself in
the Red Cross is more Christlike than
the religion that expresses itself in the
Crusades.''
The badge of love-the deep-ensan-
guined Cross
The pledge Emmanuel gave
When, rocking not of suffering or of
loss,
He came to save.
Above the terrors of the earth today
Pestilence, Earthquake, War
The cross of courage, with its blood
red ray,
Is Bethlehem's Start
The Outlook.

rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten cas-
es of rheumatism are simply rheuma
tism of the muscles, due TO cold or
damp, or chronic rheumatism. In
such cases no internal treatment is re-
uuired. The free application of Cham
berlain's Linimeut is all that is need
ed, and it is certain to give quick re-
lief. Give it a trial and see for your
self how quickly it relieves the pain
and soreness. The medicines usually
given internally for rheumatism are
poisonous or very strong medicines.
They are worse than useless in cases of
chronic and muscular rheumatism.
