Certain articles of diet tend to check movements of the bowels. The most common of these are cheese, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits, es- pecially apples and bananas. also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bowels. When the bowels are badly constipated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlain's tablets im- mediately after supper. Adv

SCRAPS OF
Verse and Prose
BY CLARA cox EPPERsoN

In little poem published recent
" entitled "Our Gifts, alluded
to meaning of the flag to mothers
just now, under the shadow of war
in the following lines;
Our cross is red, white and blue
Humbly we bow.
This was replied to in the patriotic
and beautiful poem that follows, en-
Titled "The, Flag, and written by
Bro. J. D. Gum, a minister of the
Christian church, and a crown is
truly "a much better interpretation
Of our flag, and more hopeful one
than cross
THE FLAG
Is the flag a cross-to you, to me,
The glorious colors, red white and
blue?
No! Not cross but rather a crown
Bedecked with jewels of every hue
There is honor, freedom and liberty
Radiant from each of its stars;
And bravery, courage and sacrifice
Shed forth from each of it's bars.
Is the flag a cross-to you, to me?
Nay! Not a cross, but crown
How can it be cross to you-to me,
When it had brought us only renown
The red put there by our father s
blood,
The blue, reflected freedom Of the
skies,
The white. the purity OF our woman
hood,
And thus our nation it glorifies.
1t shrouds the bodies of our sainted
dead
Within its folds are memories rare.
No such history had the wide world
AS we find imprinted there.
And when to its defense our boys
shall go,
Shall we regard it as cross. yoa
and I?
No! Not a cross but a glorious
- crown.
For which we are willing to die.
A crown to the nation as it floats IN
the breeze,
A crown of glory in lands afar,
A crown of honor as it sails the
seas,
A message of freedom in every star
