ON MEMORIAL day
Time for Patriotic Thoughts as
We StreW Flowers Over the
Graves of Our Heroes.

A MOTHER year has rolled around
~ since we cut the lllacs, the
~ snowballs, the peonies and 9th
er flowers with which our
yards abound at this time of the year,
and reverently laid them on the
graves of our soldier dead. 1t has
been year of stress and storm for
many of us. year of war and rumors
OF war in the land. We do well to put
aside the duties OF the season for
Few hours and go out to the cemetery,
where we may reflect on the great sac
rlice OF the heroes and heroines buried
there, writes James NJ. Pierce In the
Iowa Homestead.
Memorial day is to me one Of the
saddest and loneliest days of the whole
year | remember the years which
have gone; the father who left the
happy home circle, never to return,
lying today In an unknown grave in
the sunny Southland. ! remember the
uncles who likewise gave up their lives
that this nation might be free and
united. ] remember the struggles and
the sacrifices Of my mother and sisters.
and as ! remember them the tears well
from my eyes and loneliness comes
down around me and upon me, like
shades Of night. Such a goodly com
pany OF brave young men marched
forth, dropping plOwlines and ledger,
with flies and drums quickening their
pulses and their steps, and so few
returned. And Of that pitiful handful
which came back. how few we have
left with us today! The ranks of
those VINO don the old and threadworn
uniform TO march out to the cemetery
and honor their fallen comrades are
thinning rapidly; but few more years
and there viii he none left among us.
Shall we not honor them while they
are yet here? The poet was inspired.

Gone are the days when there was

are united as never before. and as we

SO when the summer calleth,
On forest and field of grain
With an equal mumur falleth
The cooling drip OF rain
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day;
Wet with the rain the Blue:
Wet with the rain the Gray
Sadly. but not with upbralding,
The generous deed was done:
In the storm Of the years that are fading.
No Drawer battle was won:
Under the sod and the dew.
Waiting the judgment day:
Under the blossoms. the Blue
Under the garlands. the Gray.
No more shall the war-cry sever,
Or the winding river be red:
They banish our anger forever
When they laurel the graves OF our
dead.
Under the sod and the dew,
Waiting the judgment day;
Love and tears for the Blue
Tears and love for the Gray.
Could we do better than to read
these verses aloud. or teach one of the
children to speak them at school. or
ask that they he read at whatever OK

listment applicants must be between
the ages of is and IS. and must meet
the physical educational and practical
requirements which may be pre-
scribed.
The Bureau Of Nursing Service of
the American Red Cross has under
its direction the organization of the
nursing staff and certain supplement
tary personnel which will be. needed
for base hospital units. Navy detach-
ments of nurses. and such other nurs-
ing units as may be required in the
event of military necessity. This
bureau has as its head. Miss Jane A

seven years of tireless work to the
task of enrolling nearly eight thou
sand trained nurses to be ready on
call in case of war. The requirements
Of the Red Cross for the enrolment
Of nurses include not only graduation
from training school for nurses OF
excellent standing. but also in States
where registration is provided for ny

To supplement the work Of the
trained nurses a special organization

comparatively new, having been the
direct result of the Preparedness"
movement. The object of its crea-
ton was to furnish the machinery by
which the American Red Cross would
carry out the purpose of its charter
so far as concerned the furnishing of
volunteer aid to the sick and wounded
of armies in war and as a medium of
communication between the people of
the United States and their Army and
Navy.
The organizations created by the
Red Cross to assist the medical serv-
ice OF the Army and Navy in time of
war are usually spoken Of as military
units. OF these the most important
is the base hospital because, being To-
Gated at the military base behind the
service at the front, it is the first real
hospital encountered by the wounded
soldier in his journey from the firing
line toward home. There for the
first time he finds a good bed and a
trained nurse.
The Medical Bureau of the Military
division of Red Cross work which is
under the supervision of Major Robert
v. Patterson, L. S. A. has general
charge of the male personnel of the
organ izations. Red Cross base hos
pital units are organized for service
with the Army and Navy, and when
reported by the national headquarters
of the Red Cross as ready for service,
they are placed on 9 roll in the Sur

the use of these tablets: II had bad
spell with my stomach about six months

weeks with gas and severe pains in the
pit of my stomach. Our druggist ad-

dose relieved me wonderfully, and l
kept on taking them until Twas cured. +"
