for All the Armies in Great
Conflict.

NEW YORK. Sept. 13-After lying
IT anchor off Sandy Hook over night,
he Red Cross relief ship Red Cross
steamed for England today on her err
rand of mercy.
Her captain refused 10 sail until he
had put his crew through a thorough
Ire drill, and his insistence on this
0recaution cost the vessel a days
line.
With 154 volunteer nurses and physi,,
clans aboard and 100000 in hospital
supplies, the Red Cross will proceed
TO Falmouth and thence to HarVe and
Dstend On board the boat there is
not a man not an American citizen.
The crew. while new to the ship, was
made up of big. 1ine-lOOking men, all
Of them vouChed for bS the shipping
agents as capable and worthy.
The Red Cross carried her clearance
papers from this Government and let
ters from the French and British con-
sulates of New York.
Secretary Of War Daniels. with Mrs.
Daniels. made an inspection of the YES
sci and her equipment. Mr.. Daniels
made a short address to the officers
and crew.
Ceremonies Were Short.

the ship off Ninety-sixth street, at 4
o'clock Yesterday afternoon were short

over the side they We're met by Captain
Rush, Miss Mabel Boardman, head OF

retired Secretary Daniels and his
party, which included Miss BaGley, a
sister, passed favorable comment on
the equipment. IF you want anything

Master Thomas Harrison. grandson
of Bernard Baker. of Baltimore, who
presented the ship with an American
nag on behalf of the city of Balti-
Frank A. Daniels. Those who were
not to sail then left the ship.
Everything went off beautifully" said
Miss Boardman last night. There was
a little delay at the last moment in get
ting a ships carpenter to fill in the last
remaining vacancy in the crew, but this
was soon settled by Captain Rush.
Matters went off without hitch"
When the Red Cross arrives at Fall
mouth her command will be taken over
by Rear Admiral Aaron Ward. A cable

From Falmouth the ship will sail for

will be put ashore. The Red Cross will
then proceed 10 Rotterdam to drop the
German and Austrian units. On its re-
turn voyage the vessel will probably
bring a number of American refugees to
cover the expense OF the trip.
Miss BoardmaE pointed out the fact
that the I3S nurses who have been sent
10 the war zone for Red Cross service
would receive only $50 month instead
of the regular salary of 500. This
cODrriburiOn from the nurses
to the war relief fund of between 5000

WILSON POLICIES ATTACKED BY COP.

Augusta. Me, April s-An attack on President wilson's Mexican and Pan ana Canal tolls policies was made by Congressman John 4. Peters of this state in his. address as presiding off, ger Of the Republican state conven- ton here today
 'I have great admiration and respect for President Wilson," said MT. Pe- ter=- 'fbut no one but the iblindeG par tisan or one who has given rza~ mat ter no thought can have the slightest respect for the foreign policy of his administration, especially in Mexico. Indeed. it cannot be properly called q policy at all. because it is unintel- ligible and aimless.

The Ideal One is a Mild Laxa- tive-Tonic that Will Keep

Healthy old age is so absolutely de- pendent upon the condition Of the bowels that great care should be tax en to see that they act regularly The fact is that as age advances the ston1- ach muscles become weak and inac- tive and the liver does not store up the juices that are necessary to prompt digestion.
 Some help can be obtained by eat ing easily dIgested foods and by plen- fy of exercise, but this latter is irk- some to most elderly people One stipation should always be avoided. as fl is dangerous to life and health. The best plan is to take mild laxa'- tive as often as is deemed necessary But with equal certainty it is sug- Eested that cathartics. purgatives, physics, salts and pills be avoided ae they do but tenn mporary good and are so harsh as to be shock to deh- cate system.
 A much better plan and one that thousands of Iederly people are fol lowing is to take a gentle laxative tonic like Dr. CaIdwefTs Syrup Pep sin which acts as nearly like nature as is possible In fact, the tendency of this remedy is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to act naturally again. when medicines of all ll1xinds can tlslI- aiIv be dispensed with.

 Didn't Like Spelling.
 Elderly observers who have been watching the progress of a love affair between charming young woman and a young man of this city say that an interesting situation has caused an estrangement, and that matters have been declared off on the part Of the youthful awain because the maid en sought inspiration with which to interest and amuse her young man in the dusty pages of an old spelling book. The girl had always had a. hob by for spelling and was the proud possessor of many prizes taken in spelling bees, and it occurred to her that this might be a new and novel way of interesting the gallant swain. She had not heard of it being used before, and determined to try it. Ac- cordingIy the girl started to display her intellectuality in this line Now spelling was one of the subjects that the youth was not long on. He did his best to fatElorn the mysteries Of the spelling book, but every time the girl brought out the old spelling book, he fell down on some simple syllable.
