Prominent Physician
Discusses CaIoE11eI

DIR. William Brady in an article about
calomel in the Atlanta Constitution re-
Gently said:
"Calomel is cathartic and very
crude and superAuous one. It pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion of bile. 1t has
no more influence over biliousness
than any other active physic. 1t is
just the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
IN use because old dogs seldom learn
new tricks"
AS a substitute for a poison ike
calomel modern physicians prescribe
purely vegetable cathartics. Mar

My Brother, Sister, let me say,

Be sure you've oil-don't so TO sleep.
The bridegroom sure will come.
Those Virgins five were foolish see,
The door was closed my friend;
The same may happen you and me
on that you may depend.
Each one OF us should watch and pray
As every Christian should;
The bridegroom may come any day,
And we should all be good.
Then We'll be happy every day.
Let storms Of sorrow fall"
No matter where we viii get there
When we receive last call.
Each child Of God will have a home
When life shall end down here,
That home Is built for every one
They read their title clear,
ITO Mansions In The Sky" they sing
Some sweet day they'll be there.
Just watch and pray, you'll see the
king.
Where loved ones waiting are.
So don't be like those virgins, friend
Be sure your lamp is right;
Don't do one thing that shall offend
The bridegroom day or night.
II we are faithful in our walk
As Christians all should be,
Inside the gates, He'll welcome us

States localities"
AT this point Uncle Harry took a
folded sheet OF paper from his pocket.
AS he opened It out on tho table, the
children could see that II contained
an outline map OF the United States.
4 the center Of the map appeared a
rye shaded area extending practical
~ from the Canadian border to the
ulf Of Mexico. Jimmy, Joe and Helen
1ent over the map and observed II
osely.
This" began Uncle Harry. rs one
the most interesting war maps I've
er seen. Can any OF you tell me
hat the shaded portion represents"
Helen was the first TO reply: ITS
amount Of territory covered by
countries at war" she ventured.
That's the time you were wrong,
elem" said Uncle Harry. although
ne map would naturally suggest some-
ling Of that sort.
THE area shown" ne continued,
does not concern us as does the length
OF the borders OF this area This map
was designed TO show the vast length
Of the battle fronts on which the
armies In Europe are lighting"
why look" exclaimed Joe, who
had been porting over the map, "the
russian front in the East would ex-
tend from the northern part OF Mn
nesota all the way down into Tennes-
sea distance Of 1928 miles,
And here's the Italian 'front.'" ex-
claimed Helen, winding around from
the north OF Texas over to New Mex
leo, for a distance Of 800 miles. Down
here near the Gulf OF Mexico Is rep O.
scented the battle line In Greece, Ser
bia and Albania, on which the ALLIES
are facing the armies OF the Central
Powers. II would extend for 800 miles
through Louisiana and Texas"
Yes, and took over here" said Uncle
Harry, land you'll see running
northwest through Colorado and Utah
the western front, which extends from
the seacoast Of Belgium through north
ern France TO Switzerland-a distance
Of 450 miles. That's nearly half the
distance from New York 10 Chicago.
Moreover" he added. "much Of the
aerce and bloody lighting on the west
ern front in Europe has taken place
In lust such a beautiful and fertile
country as we have here in the United
States between Chicago and New
York.
Imagine, II you can. a broad bell
Of desolation extending across Indiana
Ohio and Pennsylvania. Picture the
Fields OF grain destroyed, nothing left
OF the trees but short stumps, farm
houses and barns RACED TO the ground
and the blackened earth full Of deep
craters made by exploding shells from
the big guns. Think Of entire towns
being wiped out by artillery fire, all
Of the buildings completely wrecked,
with hardly one stone left standing
upon another. And imagine destruc-
ton OF this sort, together with the
killing and gripping Of millions Of
brave men, taking place for more
tnan three years on total battle front
OF more than 1890 miles. That's only
30 miles less than the distance between
Chicago and San Francisco"
The children sat in silence as IN,
full Significance Of Uncle Harry's word
gradually took shape In their minds
Helen was the lrst 10 break the sil
ence and a tear trickled down he
cheek as she said.
"Uncle Harry, I knew that this w,
was a terrible thing, but l never rea
ICED how awful it really was uni
now, when ! think Of 1t as happenll
right here In our own country"
"And now" resumed Uncle Harr
