FADED FLAGS

The flags which were displayed on every patriots house and shop when America entgred the war a hundred days ago are still flying. Some have been whipped to tatters by the winds of spring and summer, but none have been hauled down. A few have faded; the blue field no longer suggests the spangled heav- eus, and the blOOd-hue of the broad stripes is dull and watery. They were not dyed in the wool and did not stand the beating Of the ele- meuts.
 Will patriotism fade like an ill., dyed flag? It will, if it is not of the ingrained sort. If it began and ended with the first hurrah, it is already as pale as the most be- draggled ensign on the street. If fl shrank from the first demand to buy Liberty Bonds, closed it purse to the Red Cross appeal, it is a sorry rag. If it has begun to grumbIe at the prospect of ten-fold taxation to meet war expenditure, and if 1t will give it's sons or itself for any sacrifice which the country demands, what is there left of the flag which erstwhile so proudly We hailed?
 Now comes the Food Administra- tiou, with suggestions which touch the daily habits and diet of every man, every woman, and all but the babes and stockings. The patriot, last colOrs % the last fiber, will Loyalty respond to the call for wbeatless and meatless days, for economy and thrift. But the person whose patriotism was ephemeral will reveal his fading colors by per sisting in the old indulgences, the old wastefulness. He would better haul down his false and faded ban ner and run up the enemy's flag. That is the side he is fighting on.- Ex. i..@ .H 6i

SCHOOLGIRLS AS HER0INES.

Apparently They Arc Considered Only
 by American Authors.
 Scott never mentions a schoolgirl, says II. D. Sedgwick in the Atlantic. Imagine Thomas Hardy faShioning a schoolgirl out of WesseX clay or George Meredith venturing to describe Diana of the Crossways in those early years. Arnold Bennett would have created. a little miniature old wife. as Van Eyck and Memling paint babies like minia- ture old men. H. G. Wells would depict her as incipient temptation to lead MT. Britling, for instance, Into one of q dozen romantic adventures.
 Galsworthy would try to it her into an ethical system, into a niche of so- cial justice or matrimonial ventures. Mir. Howells, one may imagine, might have essayed the task, but he would have tried to meet the difficulty of get ting the right values-as painter dabs blues on yellows to make, a green-by adding to a primness reminiscent of. the "Yicar of Wakefield" few deli cate hoydenish touches.
 As there is no such thing as a school girl on the continent, French and 1tal- ian novelists do not mention her. h. deed, the schoolgirl, as we see her, is an American product and modern.

 Burden

Woman's lot is weary one at pest. But with backache and other distressing kidney ills life indeed becomes 8 burden. Doan's Kidney Pills have made life brighter for many women. Read what Mrp. Roll CoOkstron of 1909 E. First Ave, Spokane, Wash, says: "The grip put my kidneys out of order and l suffered with 8 heavy dull pain in the small Of my back which kept getting more severe. Some days l could hardly do my work for 1t was almost impossible to bend over. My kidneys were weak and annoyed me great deal, too. was wor- ried because my feet swelled and because of the puffiness under my eyes. One box of Doan's Kid ney Pills gave me relief and after I had used two boxes I was feeling fine in every way" "(Statement gtv- en October 16, 1915.)
 On June 8, 1917 Mrs. Cookston said: q have had absolutely no trouble with my kidneys since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me and I feel better than have in years"

Qssued by the War Deparment And all rights to reprint
 ReseEyeD,
TEAMWORK IN THE ARMY

If the course were to stop just at this point, 1t might leave ID your mind a false impression. For after all, the soldier is not an in diYiduaI player in the great game of war; he is valuable chiefly as a member of team. It Is a team of enormous size. It is organized in rather a complicated way. This team We call the Army
 In a factory or store or office wherever large numbers of people are working together-there is al- most always some one in direct charge of each group of workers This person may be called a lore man in the shop, a chief clerk in an office, floor walker in de- partment store, or by any one of & number of other titles; in the Army We call him a corporal or 8 ser geant. Going up Q step, you Know that in every large concern there are numerous officers who take charge of various departments or the business such as the superin- tendent, the traffic manager, the the advertising manager, the sales manager, the secretary, the vice president, and so on; in the Army we call the men in cores bonding positions captains, majors' colonels, and generals. Finally, you have at the top of the business con- cern a president or a general man ager who directs everything; In the Army he Is a commanding general.
 This general likeness between business organization and Army or ganization Is helpful but must not be carried too far. There is one vital difference: The average busi- ness concern is somewhat easy going; the responsibility for each piece of work is not always definite Iy fixed. In the Army everybody, on the other hand, Is held to the strictest account. There is very seldom any doubt as to the man to be held responsible for each task.
 Within each rank, from major general to private, every man has his individual ranking, depending upon his length of service in the of flee which he holds. This ranking iHsures that in every situation somebody always has authority and Is responsible for whatever is done. Even if two private soldiers are wor ing together without supervision, the one who has been longer in the service takes charge and the other must obey his orders. This rule applies everywhere
 Success in winning victories is the object for which the Army eX- ists. Tn comparison nothing else counts. Every officer and every soldier must be ready to make any sacrifice, big or little, to accom- plish this object. An officer may spend years in working out solu- tions to military problems, only to find in the end that all the credit for what he has done is swallowed up in the general reputation of the Army. If this proves to be the case, he has no caute for complaint. 1 It is the rule of the Army that | everything must be done flor the good of the service"

Mz Vernon Castle
as Patria Charming
PATRIA
International Serial

Mrs. Vernon Castle, the best
known woman in America, is en-.
thusiastic over her work before the
motion picture camera in "Patria, u
the international serial of romance
and patriotism, released by Pathe
and annunced to open at the Opera
House Wednesday, April 25th.
"Many people imagine" she says
chat all one has to do to gain fame
as a screen artist is to be possessed
of a certain amount of grace and
personal charm and exhibit them be-
fore the camera. That is why there
are so many failures.
"Acting in the movies is as dis
tinct an art, and requires as much
study and perseverance as it does
to become great dancer or a great
actor in the spoken drama. l have
devoted as much attention to learn
ing the details Of acting for the
screen as l did to learn dancing.
"Any girl who desires to make
motion picture acting her profession
will find horseback riding, canoe
ing; and even aviation, most valu-
able assets.
81 was little more than girl
when l took up dancing in earnest
and l danced from that time until
my husband decided to answer the
call Of his country (for you know,
Mr.. Castle is an Englishman) and
Joined the British aviators.
"That he has done well is attest
ed by the fact that he has been pro-
noted several times for his daring
work and bravery and it has been
that he is to receive a de-
coration from the French govern
ment. I am very proud of him.
"But to return to dancing. It is
beautiful, useful and healthful art
which every one should practise. It
appeals to all. No better illustration
Of this can be found than on the
streets where the children indulge
in dancing to the music Of hurdy-
gurdy. Dancing is a recreation Of
which one never tires.
