We have learned to talk and
think in billions. Bot one
cent can buy enough iodine
to disinfect a wound-and
the disinfection of that
wound may save a human
life.
And, after experience with
the wounded, there comes
the time when one sees in the
horror of the shattered flesh,
the beauty Of the spirit,
TT is a strange holiday fol
Il us Americans, with our
new eXcitements and our new
emotions; our new soldiers
III cantonments or foreign
trenches, and our new sailors
on mined seas; reports Of
our first dead, and our letters
from the front; our fears and
our Citations; and the occas-
ional flash Of vision of hun
dreds of thousands of boys
and men in khaki in miles
upon miles of army barracks.
Many Of them. too, are
aching with new tenderness.
1t is the time of times, in
our new puzzlement and
need, to sing the Christmas
carols of glad prophecy, The
city chimes and village or
gans, singers going from
door to door, will chime and
peal and carol as they never
have before, the Christmas
message of good tidings and
great JOY which shall be to
all people.
We owe it to our men to
sing it with fuil hearts, so
that the spirit of it will reach
their hattleships and their
camps. They must never
forget the happiness of this
Christmas. the last, doubt
less, before they go across to
offer all they have.

THANK YOU.

FAREWELL

There is a mother who works in
her home and her church for the
Red Cross who said that the high
est points of her life, and her deep
est happiness, were the times her
son, a new young second lieutenant
home on farlough, talked with her
as they WISHED the dishes together
at the kitchen sink.
How it is these humble things.
and not the dramatic ones, that
bind us together and thrill US nowi'
How to those whom the war has
toGched, people are not so much
Generals or Colonels, or Presidents
or servants or ice-men or tailors or
scrpbwomen Or Kings, as fellow
humap-heings; and how the hope of
carrying on what thousands of
radiant youths lave died and are
to die for, centers Upon the little
children.
yEHHES is thinking in Red Cross
4 ways. For the ideal of the
Red Cross Treaty signed in
Geneva By the delegates of nations,
is merely this: that every sufsrytng
human being in war, whether ~
longing to friend or enemy, shsp r.
sacred to the Red Cross. Yet Hse
symbol of that treaty is SO gre7is
that it iS the meeting ground of thS
most conflicting race and the mos
conflicting creeds; o. men and wor
en- and children; of black and white
and yellow and red; of rich and
poor; of Jew and Gentle; of Catho-
lie and Protestant; Of Buddhist and
Confucian of artist and artisan;

Raisin Bread.

Incorporated with bread raisins con-
stitute valuable diet and help out
the meat problem. II is stated that
the raisin contains nearly 3 per cent
protein and over GJ per cent carbohy-
drates and therefore is a very impor-
tant onergizing food. For invalids and
children raisin bread is invaluable, says
a food expert. The simplicity Of the
loaf makes it an ideal substitute for
the lard, butter, sugar. egg, cream and
citron laden cake. 1t is therefore an
important addition to the domestic
menu, and the woman who has her
chidren's health at heart will see that
at each baking two OF three loayes are
Wen filed with raisins, kneading them
in just before the loaves are put into
the pans.
