An old Mans Stomach

As we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. II too
much is habitually taken, the stom-
och will rebel. When a man reaches
the advanced age Of IS or 80, you
will find that he is light eater. Be
a. careful as you will, however, you
will occasionally eat more than you
should and will feel the, need Of
Chamberlain Tablets to correct the
disorder. These tablets do not con-
tain pepsin. but strengthen the stom-
ach and enable It to perform its
functions naturally. They also cause
q gentle movement of the bowels.

ALL YARN MUST BE RETURNED
Z no RED CROSS WHEN KNITTED


At a State Conference II was asked.
do you mean to tell me that can
not buy yarn from my Red Cross
chapter, knit 1t into a sweater. and
send 1t to my own son in the Army?"
The reply was:
Eyes, Just that. Because of the
present scarcity of wool. 1t is neces-
sary that every pound of 1t, pur-
chased with Red Cross money. shall
be returned to the Red Cross when
made into garment. Then II your
son needs that sweater more than
some other woman's son. the Red
Cross will send 1t to him; but II
some other boy needs 1t more than
yours, 1t will go to the other boy.
You might buy your son sweater
ready-made at store or IL you can
buy some yarn OUTSIDE of the Red
Cross. you can of course send It
where you please"
Unless each Red Cross Division
can be assured of getting back In
finished garments. all the yarn it is
able to procure for Chapters. 1t shall
fail utterly in its endeavor to pro-
vide these necessities for orr boys
here and abroad, and the small
stream of yarn being received will be
diverted into other channels. where
a more systematic distribution can
be assured.
There is Red Cross Camp Direc-
tor at every training camp, who not
only investigates each request for
such garments, but who sees to 1t
that We voluntarily supply these
things to the extent of our stocks on
hand as the Chapters ship them in to
our Bureau of Supplies. Remember,
the REASON for this shortage, is be-
cause YOU and I and the rest of us
American people, did not. a few years
ago want PREPAREDNESS, and see
to it that our Government, which re-
spends to the will of the Majority
started sooner to provide these and
countless other things SO desperately
needed now.
Practically all the knitted goods In
this and several other Divisions are
being sent exclusively to our troops
in this country.-preference II any
being given to these about to sail fol
France. The hearty and prompt CO
operation of our Chapters ALONE
can help supply these needs and pre-
vent the waste which results from
unorganized effort, even though 4
may be prompted by the best of in
tentions. Our boys in the Army ans
Navy are all "OUR BOYS" whethe
they happen to come from our owl
town or even our own family, or from
some other. Send all your knittet
garments into the Common Pile
for the needs of "OUR BOYS" VINO
ever they may be.
Your very truly,
| GEORGE w. SIMMONS.

WILD FEARS OF ARMY LIFE
In All Wars Soldier Has About Nine
teen Chances Out Of Twenty o.
Surviving Years Service.

Numerous incidents reported in
the United States since the Selcctive
CONSUMPTION law vas passed have
shown that many persons have Il
wildly exaggerated notion of the
dangers and hardships Of army serv-
ice. They evidently feel that a call
to the colors is about the same thing
as a death sentence. 4 few have
killed themselves. Some have shot
off an arm or cut Off several fingers.
Other mutilations have been re-
ported.
This is the madness of fear. In
all wars, even in the tremendous con-
tlict now raging. a soldier has about
nineteen chances out of twenty OF
surviving a years service. In two
wears h, does not run as much as a
10 per cent risk of death. German
and British records indicate that the
ratio of fatalities is not more than
one out of twenty-five men annu-
ally.
As for hardShips, some soldiers
like the change from the conditions
of civil life. Many seek to remain
in military service after wars end.
Nearly all who escape wounds say
they feel unusually well and physi-
cally fit. Disease in modern armies
maintained by advanced nations is
less common than in ordinary occu-
pations.
War is grim and terrible enough
without wild ey%aggerations OF its
p~erils and its sutferings. Always
its chances leave a good balance on
the side of safety. Any man who
kills or mains himself to escape mil
itarv service is not only a coward but
q fool.-Cleveland Leader.

FINGER PRINTS 1000 YEARS AGO.

According to B. Laufer of the
Field museum, Chicago, the taking
of finger prints as a means OF lden-
titication was used by the Chinese
and japanese at least a thousand
Years ago. Writing in Science to
c%ontrovert Sir William j. Herschel's
claim to the credit for the invention,
he quotes Raslid-eddin, the famous
Persian historian, who described in
1903 the then ancient Chinese Gus
tom; Soleiman, an Arabian mer-
chant, who wrote in A.. d. S51 that
in China creditors bills were marked
by the debtor with his fingers; and
three contracts dated A. d. 1872 and
'SG, both finger marked and bearing
a note to the effect that the parties
thereto had affixed the impressions
Of their fingers.
