A GREAT MEDICINE

That most successful of all remedies
hams Vegetable Compound, owes its
origin to a botanic receipt which came
into the possession of Lydia E. Pink
ham about 80 years ago.
This recipe had proved so effective
in the practice of skilled physician
that Mrs Pinkham procured the herbs
and stepped and prepared them in true
old-time fashion on her kitchen stove
for her friends and neighbors who sur
fered from womans ailments. The
fame of the virtues of this wonderful
medicine spread, until it is today rec
ognized as the standard remedy for
woman's ills.-Adv.

racks where they spent their last
night, and the officers and military
guard to the place of execution. The
trucks later carried the bodies to a
place as indistinguishable as the ex-

place, and then they hauled back to
Fort Sam Houston every piece Of
timber used in the scaffold, so that
the site was clear before formal an

THE FIRST RED
CROSS CHRISTMAS

Something has happened. A sim
pie and thrilling thing that brings
something of real greatness to our
lives, humble as they may be.
1t is the observance Of our first
{. Red Cross Christmas. One cannot
have even the thought of its appro-
priateness and its significance in
! this world of anguish without having
touched the highest thoughts of all
! the world--that which was given on
the birthday we are celebrating
Behold, / bring you good tidings of
great joy which shall be to all peo-
ple;" and that which was expressed
in the Red Cross treaty made by ma
tons, which established that in war
fare the sick and wounded of the
enemy should be sacred to the Red
! Cross.
This is Christmas when we can
not see our new young soldiers,
strong and straight of back, without
visioning those others whom war has
made helpless. We cannot see the
| happiness Of our children with ~
thinking of those little ones in Eu-
rope who have starved to death. Per-
haps we cannot deck our children's
Christmas trees without remember
ing that He in whose honor they are
was imam of sorrows and acquain-
ted with grief"
In the Red Cross campaign for
100000 new members during the
week preceding Christmas there is
scope for all our tenderness, all our
richest imaginings, all our newborn
power of simplicity of heart, all our
possibilities of service.
The Red Cross chapters have ask
ed all members of the American Red
, Cross to take part in simple cere-
mOny on Christmas eve--the placing
of lighted candle in the window
shining through a Red Cross service
flag on the window pane. This flag
is piece of white transparent paper,
blue bordered, with the sign of the
Red Cross, five inches square in the
center, and smaller crosses to be
added for each of the household who
is member of the Red Cross. 1t is
an expression Of service in this unex-
ampled time--a symbol so instinc-
tive that the Red Cross will glow
/ from the windows of our homes over
the length and breadth of the land,
sending out the Christmas message
to the world, and telling not only
, the passer-by, but our own hearts,
that just as our boys and men are
finding new strength in their new
sacrifices, so may we through our
new service.
