THE HOSPITAL WARD
By HARRY H GARRETT.

It was one bright Saturday morning ! that my friend and I visited local in | firmary. What busy place that is, Ev erything in order; everything spick-and- span; and all the nurses and doctors
 wearing such restful and peaceful ex- pressions.
 We were shown through the first floor
 and ascended the stairs. Here was the
 childrens ward It may sound peculiar
 to say that this room seemed the most
 cheerful in the hospital. Extending it's
 entire length on either side of the room.
 was row of little white iron beds. And
 how bright those children were despite
 the suffering which they were endur-
 ing.
 | The one with the golden hair," said
 our guide, "has been here for nine
 months-paralysis of the limbs. The
 doctors hold out no hope for her re-
 covery; but do you know she is the happiest child in the ward. I have never heard her complain"
 l We walked over to her bed. She was | about years old; but the black circles | under her eyes and her pinched face
 made her look much older; but there
 she lay-smiling!
 I looking down at the little form | "Oh, no! They are so kind and good to me; sometimes I feel little tired | of lying in the bed, and then Miss Mary
 puts me in the chair and rolls me out l on the porch. I love to sit out there l in the cool evening air and watch the children play; sometimes I make like
 I am out there playing with them and
 it is quite as much fun as if I really
 were.
 l "An then you see, early in the morn- l ing I lie here and listen to the birds singing in the elm trees Their merry
 little songs make me feel so happy
 that I could jump up and down; but
 can't do that, so just clap my hands The doctors say that I will never be able to walk again." GA shadow crept
 over her face, but in second it had
 disappeared.) And then there is such | a nice lady who comes to see me once
 a week and brings me flowers, see!"
 She pointed her thin little hand to- wards the window where stood vase | of roses.
 | And, oh, how much I enjoy look | ing at the clouds! Sometimes they seem
 to come down and carry me far away
 to beautiful land with rolling hills l covered with daisies. and sparkling streams where I wade and sail little flower boats. And far away over the
 hills is lovely palace trimmed with
 gold and beautiful jewels. Oh! it is so lovely there; but I love it here and would not leave for anything, unless could take some of the children and Miss Mary with me. 1 Miss Mary says it is best for ma here, and I say it is Gods will and she says so, too; and God always does what l is best for us." | Whenever we are in trouble and life S golden sunshine seems hidden by cloud of gray, let us remember the lit | tie girl in the ward and believe it is Gods will

 means the shuffling, helpless creature like many other bats. If molested when
 thrown to the grown it will turn and bite savagely.
 The Teeth are highly modified cutting apparatus for making incisions in the skins of mammals and birds In habits they are sociable, and are

London, July 27.-For about a year and end of the great war as though the operations of the army in France were of little interest and none of the busi- ness of the folks at home. For time,
 at the beginning, general headquarters in France issued brief bulletins as to the progress of events. Then that was dropped and the British public, and all the rest of the world depended upon French communiques for news as to what the British army was doing.

 On the morning after our arrival at San Miguel Bridge (Peru) tho pack mules nearly all showed blood b1otches on their withers and backs, where they had been attacked during the night by vampire bats which had fed on their blood. This bat, Desmodus rotundus, is plentifully distributed throughout Peru in attitudes below 10000 feet.
 It is one of the most highly spe- cialized species of existing bats. The lower jaw is decidedly undershot, and the head, with it's short, cropped ears and broad muzzle, has strikingly bull dog appearance. The legs are well de-

BUILDING UP STRENGTH

\ After a severe illness, or some times without that misfortune, many people do not gain strength as they should. Often this is be- cause the food taken is not rel 1shed and does not go to the mal- ing of rich blood.
 t Nature should then be aided. It will usually be the case that in the mucous membranes that line most of the body there will be areas of stagnation, with the blood engorged instead of cir culating. When these are in the stomach or bowels the food fer ments when it might be making strength.
 Peruna dlspels stagnation in these membranes, invigorates the tions, overcomes all catarrhal con- ditions and starts the organs to working properly. After illness it Is a good tonic, used by all with safety.

This Is Your Last Chance!

5O,OOO Hoosier Cabinets were sold in only 45 days this spring, when it was announced that prices were destined to increase. Hun dreds of Hoosier agents all over the country ordered all the cabinets they could possibly get. Many shipments that were received one day were entirely sold out the next.
 Hosts of women who failed to get the Hoosier are hastening to take advantage of the Hoosier Club Plan Sale and the last of the old-time Pyzces.
 This means that the small number of cabinets we have left will not go round.
 Make up your mind you are going to see these farewell Hoosier values in our store. Decide while you still have the chance-not after it is too late. This is our last announcement.

ssNelU Lamps for Old"

Many Tacoma who 'jus loves to cook often "ust
hates to wash Dishes" And man blames her.
Domestic science teachers have invented methods of dish
washing which shorter and easier than the mother did,
but really intelligent fail adopt them There
stronger human traditions than those which govern good house
keeping"
The most sanitary of washing dishes takes the dtowe
out of the kitchen In the best equipped hotels and hospitals
dishes serzed by steam and dried without handling
The approach this method in the average kitchen
is to wash the dishes with plenty of clean hot water and seap
them with hot water stack them edge in wire
basket pour kettle Of boiling water them and set them
aside to drain dry
But the dmnist who aboshes the dish cloth her kitchen
frequently sharply denounced by all the conscientious
"good' housewives of her neighborhood.
1t takes with the faith Of Aladdin to buy small
mange which will do up the bed linen and other flat work
weeks wash in 80 minutes
They show complete indifference washing machines which
loosen the dirt by steam instead of hand rubbing and
cleaners which collect the dust from carpets instead of redrb
uting about the by the ancient sweeping process
But the feminist who aboshes the dish cloth her kitchen

On the other hand be argued that aborsavng devices
which will 10 cost less than dresses which will be
of fashion and discarded in three months and that the of such
convenenes will do with the half educated maid altogether
by enabling the housewife to de her work
