Many SO-called remedies for amaze

ers are afraid to prove their claims by
telling what their medicines contain.
The only way to be honest with the
people is to let them know what they
are paying for. Here is the Vinol

what medicine contains, it ceases
to be patent medicine.

Any doctor will tell you that the in

will enrich the blood and Danish amaze

blood is pure and rich and red, the
body is strong and robust.
You can prove this at our expense
because your money will be returned

thus caused, the faith has taken ref

the people, with the result that, in
the opinion of most men, religion has
been perhaps the one thing in all the
world, so far, strengthened and built

result all over the world, and away
from the actual scene of war, is the
testimony of unbiased observers.

sacrifices have been so great, the hor-

lures Of the house. as he wishes to
protect it against such outrages as
were inflicted on it by the "late

In memorandum outlining the

climate and atmosphere at The

life would help him to preserve
just sense of proportion between TIE

quaint old place some miles behind

curious relics from world famous
battletields and illustrations of phases
of daily life in the trenches, German
trophies for the most part. Many of
these exhibits are destined in due

War Museum. The old First Corps
flag carried by the heroic and ILL
fated Cough at Ypres is one of the
notable relics.
Here also one may see the carved
oak table from shelled Arras used by
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig at
his heaquarters throughout the battle
of the Somme. There is the First
Corps headquarters flag which he
carried in the Mons retreat, his first
flag AS commander of the First Army.
There are several other flags of great
interest-of which one must not for
get to mention the first Tanks flag
the first Portuguese flag in the
trenches, the first American flag to
fly in France after the American dec
laration of war
There are German flags too, as for
instance, a large one unearthed in

from Beaumont Hamel.

IRISH SOLDIERS
and RELIGION
THEIR Faith Seems to Be Re-
Sponsible for Fortitude

Dublin, Sept. 80, Correspondence
Irish soldier gathers from his religion,
is one of the phases of front-line life
frequently touched upon by the late
Major William Redmond in his let
tiers home, some of which Mrs. Red
mond has collected into a memorial
volume. In one of these, given to the
Associated Press, the popular Irish
leader wrote, shortly before his death:
THE fortitude the men seem to
draw from their faith is great and
marked The man who has been with
his chaplain and who has prepared
himself by the sacraments is ready for
any fate, and shows it in his very de-
meanor Often the writer has heard
officers declare their pleasure at the
devotion of the men to their religion,
and frequently those officers have been
of other religions them Selves"
In another letter, Major Redmond
writes of the work Of the French
priests:
with all the evil that has fol-
lowed in it's train it is good to find at
least one beneficial result from the
war. It has led to the revival of re-
ligion in a most remarkable way.
"As to this, practically everyone is
agreed, and it is apparent in a hum
dred directions. Perhaps this revival
is most marked of all in France, and
there it is attributable in no little
degree TO the splendid record of the
French priests in the army.
ITO many people it seemed wrong
thing that the ministers of the Prince
of Peace should be called upon to take
up arms and play a part in the terri
BILE work of bloodshed and slaughter
which has converted so large a portion
of Europe into veritable shambles.
What seemed wrong, and what from
some points of view was wrong no
doubt, has in the result turned out a
blessing.
"Thc spectacle of thousands of
priests marching and fighting for the
country and the flag has touched
deeply the heart of France and many a
man who was perhaps ready enough
to proclaim himself an anti-Cleric will
never so describe himself any more.
The bravery of the French priests in
battle-two thousand of them have
been killed--has been only equalled
by their devotion to their holy office.
by accident or design-one must
decide according to the measure of
ones charity-the Germans have de-
stroyed many churches and shrines
and converts in the war. They pre-
sent a sad spectacle, but it would
seem that in proportion to the ruin

in the SOmme or ArraS region where
hand to hand conflicts were waged.
German material is here in profusion,
shells of every calibre, shell-caseS
and basket carriers, fammenwerfers,
bombs, axes, knives, pistols, wire cut
ters, and a unique collection of trench
clubs, including one with flexible
handle and heavy steel head posi-
lively devilish in it's ingenuity.
Scattered through this museum are
life-si2e mannequins attired in enemy
raiment. One affords a striking rep
resentation of a medieval warrior
even though he is clad only in the
steel armor and casque of A. D. 1917.
Over his shoulders he carries a cross
bow which discharged grenades in the
winter of 1914-15, while behind him
is u British catapult which saw serv-
ice at Neuve Chapelle.
There are the German proclama-
lions on the walls. German prints de-
plotting our soldiers, enemy maps cap
tured on the battlefields and some
times stained with blood, German Off
GERS notebooks and sketch books. Nor
can the realistic models of the battle
tields-now no longer of direct mill
tary utility-fail to enchain attention
from the one of Neuve Chapelle to
the latest miniature.
The collection is only a recent I'M
dertaking-when it comes to find a
resting place in London, 1t will bring
home as thousands of pages of his
tory books could not, the ferocity and
the kindness, the brutality and
poetry. the humour and tragedy and
all those thousand little unremem-
bered acts which made up for millions
of Britons the daily life in the
trenches and billets of France and

BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL soRTs-BOXING
SoX HAVE REST-WILL MEET
CLEVELAND TOMORROW
BY Mark Shields


From the incompatible Examiner
we learn that Ray Hamilton started
to pitch for the Browns yesterday.
Probably supported by Clarence Sis
Ter at first base and Harold Pratt at
second. Catcher Jones showed poor
judgment in picking his pitcher.
Today the White SoX, after clean
ing up the st. Louis Browns and De-
troit, take a day off to prepare for a
session with the Cleveland Indians,
beginning tomorrow on the South
Side. Some of the athletes go to
Madison, Wis, for an exhibition
game today, but the majority are at
home going through muscle practice
and listening to a few pointers on
how their game can be improved.
Any team but the Browns, in their
present weakened condition, would
have beaten the Hose yesterday. But,
on the other hand, the locals had
openings enough to have driven
through runs enough to win any ball
game played. It was another case of
bad baserUnning, a factor in SOx de-
feat so many afternoons last sum-
mer.
And the strategy might have been
better. Buck Weaver was ordered to
bunt Gandil home on a squeeze play. -
Buck is not steady enough to be
chosen for the bat end Of that effort
and GandiI was caught by several
feet. Weaver missing the ball
Because a sorhpaW started for
