of little moment to Luke. He was be-

of which he had but the faintest
glimpse and grasp. He only remem-
bered that Matt Harding. Hagar's long
dead husband, had tratiicked with the
gentlefolk of Stanley hall and had
made his gypsy fortune thereby.
Luke also knew that Esther had the
document that was the essence of this
Stanley secret. 1t also concerned the

Logan People Should Not Neglect

No kidney ailment is unimportant.
Don't overlook the slightest backache

way. Don't neglect a lame or aching

headaches, WEAKNESS or depression.

A REMARKABLE ATTITUDE.

Some remarkable and impractical
suggestions have been made as effec-
tive for peace in Europe. but the most
astounding proposition for shortening
the conflict comes from a former Red
Cross nurse. who has declared: "Red
Cross nurses and humane treatment
OF soldiers only prolong war. This
may sound brutal. but one must real
ize that an increase in horrors hastens
the end OF war. so it's the most hu-
name thing to have no relief funds or
nurses. That's why / left the Red
Cross"
This remark emanated from Miss
Drexel. who for some months was
helpfully engaged in Red Cross work
on the battlefields and in European
hospitals. but now she has concluded
that that sort OF thing is all wrong

almost absolutely heartless person
who does not believe in the desir-
ability OF caring for and nursing and
trying to bring back to health and
usefulness those who have been
wounded in the war. Perhaps il IL
literally true that IL the men when
shot were left to die on the battle
fields the war would be by so much

there would be so many more homes

On the same theory. poverty could

death. An argument in behalf of
one proposition would apply equally
well TO the other. Surely only a mi
nority OF the people could take this
view Of IL. while the great majority

they can to alleviate suffering wher-
ever found.
