RED CROSS NEEDS s,oo.ooaooo
This Week Red Cross Week. Have
You Given Your Share7

The Red Cross War Council wants
one hundred million dollars for mili-
tary and civilian relief at home and
abroad during the present war. /,
President Wilson, in a formal proc
lamation, has set aside the week from
June 18th to esth as Red Cross Week,
and has made strong appeal to the
nation to rally to this call and, with
practical patriotism, furnish the
means by which this single, cxperi-
enced organization, recognized BY
law and international convention 80
the public instrumentality for this
purpose, may carry on its tremendous
task.
Conferences have been held al
ready in the principal centers--San
Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland,
Denver and Wichita, Kan. At each
of these meetings the strongest men
in the community have gladly come
forward, offering both their time and
money. Joseph Tumulty, secretary
to President Wilson, has wired to
hundreds OF the leading citizens In
the big cities and has received from
them instant and enthusiastic prom
ises of assistance.
That the huge sum will be raised
without difficulty seems assured.
Of the hundred million, the West is
asked to raise fifteen millions, and
those in charge Of the campaign are
confident that the end of Red Cross
Week will see the entire sum sub
scribed. H.

A Trick in Saving.

Boy carpenters often have great
deal of difficulty in saving cut
square to the edge of the board. If.
when starting your saw, you will hold
the saw in such a manner that when
YOU look into the saw, the reflection
of the edge extends in a straight line,
you will have no difficulty in saving
the wood at right angles with the
edge.-American Boy. ~-

In every family there is more or

1t is to meet this need that DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin Is prepared, and
that this combination of simple laxa-
tive herbs with pepsin fulfills its puT-
pose Is proven by its place in thou
sands Of American homes.
Prof. F. ]. C. Hertzog, the well

Caldwell that he has used DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in his household
with excellent results and that he
and his family consider 1t indeed a
friend in need, and always keep q
bottle of 1t on hand.
Constipation is the direct cause of
much serious illness and Is a condi-
tion that should never be neglected.
Harsh cathartics and violent purga-
tives should never be employed to
relieve constipation, because the very
violence Of their action shocks the
entire system. A mild laxative, such
as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable. being mild and gentle in
Its action. without gripping or other
pain or discomfort; its freedom from
