quest of the ladies there, to instruct

found the people very enthusiastic
and everybody eager to do what they
could to assist in the work. AS soon
as anything was needed it was sup
piled at once. A flat iron was most
needed and was donated almost immed-
lately, and a table, being too high,
the legs were in need of being sawed
off and a man appeared with a saw
and they were sawed off. Some pa
t-iOtiC citizens who also wished to
help in some way even Il it was to
make the workers comfortable, donat-

refreshments.
The Red Cross rooms in Mariana

misunderstanding and Dangerous
Effects Removed.

The impossible of yesterday is the
accomplishment of today; the inge-

Inventions and discoveries follow each
other in rapid succession. For years
we have been taking our calomel with
never a thought that its nauseating
gripping and dangerous qualities could
be avoided.
Now comes the new triumph Of
modern pharmacy, the calomel tablet
that is so entirely purified from the
nauseating and Objectionable quail
ties that the manufacturers authorize
druggists everywhere to refund the
price if Calotabs causes the slightest
unpleasantness. The next time You are
bilious or constipated try Calotabs.
The effect is entirely delightful. One
tablet at bedtime with a swallow Of
water. No taste, no unplea5antness
of any kind. Next morning you awake
feeling fine, liver cleansed, system
purified, appetite hearty. Eat what
you please-no danger.
The genuine Calotabs are sold only
in original, sealed packages-never in
bulk, twenty doses for thirty-five
cents and your money back if you are
not thoroughly delighted. At drug
stores everywhere.-Adv.

A BIG PURCHASE.

They say there's one thing money can
not buy
One thing beyond the power of gold
to price,
And that one thing is happiness; now
How that old saw is shattered in a
trice.
For money can buy happiness so great
To hold it is almost beyond our ken.
And that is when we give it of our
sum ....
To heal the wounds and woes of
other men.
When to our hearts the Red Cross
stretches out
Appealing hands to fill with coin
that means
Relief of pain, health, nay, dear life
itself,
AS we might see it in those distant
scenes, -...
When we know every sum we give
A blessing takes, a blessing leaves
behind,
Are we not buying double happiness
To know that fate in this is doubly
kind?
The life of men who're fighting for
the right,
Release. of gallant soldiers from
- their pain,
The lifting from a nation of its curse
And bringing of its life blood back
again,
The saving of starved women, and
their joy
'To hear the little children laugh
once more
To help along the Red Cross Godlike
work .......
Does not this buy happiness a
store?
..... --... Exchange.
