According to circular issued by

annually about $4,000 deaths from ma

In maternal mortality since 1900. The

pallor Of her face was like the hue of
jasmine flower; even her dry lips
seemed bloodless as she molstened
them nervously. leaning heavily on the
little shelf In front of the brass grating
at the entry clerks window. A wave
OF compassion swept over Madge, as
she saw the look Of utterly dazed help

ly, "but could you tell me who am?

She suddenly burst into fit of nerv-

swung open, and little Blair. one of the

Blair gave the stranger "the once

and murmured, as he took Madge's
seat:
Better land her in the Dip"
But Madge shook her head. This
was no case for the dipsomanlac ward,
and she knew It. AS they stepped into
the big white marble hall together the
woman put out her hand like a child
for Madge to lead her, and she took
her upstairs. When she came back,
Blair noticed that she seemed excited,
but not one thing would she tell him,
except that she had placed the woman
In care Of Miss Gage, and 1t seemed
only simple case of aphasia. She
told him she would report 1t as soon
as Doctor Akin came in at six o'clock.
He was the house doctor on nervous

Call

Madge had been at Mercy hospital
nearly a month as a probation nurse.
1t was her first week on duty in the
emergency room, helping Miss Paterson
write the entry record of each patient
as the ambulances brought them in.
II don't see how you can be So"
she hesitated for a word that would
not hurt the feelings of the other nurse

each case is worse than the last one"
"Oh, nearly all of you girls play
tunes on your heart strings when you
first land here. 1t just has to be, and
you can't help It. Try to look at 1t in
that way. You can't afford to be sorry
for them all. 1t uses up your nerve
force"
But she did not get used to 1t. Not
then, nor during the whole six months
of her probation. Miss Paterson had
taken fancy to her from the very be-
ginning. She was willing and well ed
ucated and all of the doctors liked her.
The last two weeks of her probation
period she was placed at the emergency
desk at night, and it was here she met
Mrs. Crosby Latimer.
1t was wild, spring night in early
May. There had been a heavy rain

had just stepped across the room to

floor, when the door was pushed open
by woman. Madge saw at a glance
that she was not the sort who Sought
the shelter Of Mercy hospital. While
she wore no hat, her long broadcloth

lines, and costly in quality. Her heavy,
dark hair was streaked with gray and

BOB SCHABER'S ADVICE

Hudson Hudsonite-Some people
seem to think the authorities are pref.
~ hard on the alien enemies in this
country because they are barring
them from the Atlantic coast cities,
from the District of Columbia and 9th
er places. No such thing, We have
always been o lenient with them and
i'm consequence have lost a number
OF lives and several hundred million
dollars in food stuffs, munition fac
tories and in other ways by incendiar-
ism and otherwise through the evil
Vaccinations of the kind kaiserites.
Kick 'em into concentration camps
and watch 'em like hawks. They are
dangerous and must be treated as
enemies. The Austrians in this coun-
try have also been caught blowing
ND factories and store houseS-give
them the same dose of medicine,
Leave no snake in the grass at liber-
~. Let us protect ourselves if We
have to stand a few of the ring lead
ers against a stone wall and give
them a dose of Kaiser Bits traitor
remedy. That will cure them in n
hurry and be a lesson for their pals.

NEW INCOME TAX LAW

In addition to the regular income
tax law that has been in effect sew
eral years the congress. on october
3, 1917, passed a measure known as
the war revenue law, the object be
ing to procure additional money with
which to carry on the a The old
income tax law provides that every
married person living with wife or
husband is allowed an exemption of
$4,000 and every unmarried person
who is not the head of a family is al
lowed an exemption of $4,000 before
they are required to pay a tax The
War Revenue Law provides that every
married person living with wife or
husband must pay a tax on that por-
ton of that PERSONS net income that
exceeds $4,000 and that every unmar-
ried person not the head Of a family
must pay a tax on that portion of that
persons net income that exceeds
$1,000. This law is retroactive; that
is, it became effective Jan. l, 1917,

us believe. Nothing Is gained by shut
ting our eyes to the formidable vigor
Of the enemy We have set out to de-
feat. Only a candid facing Of facts,
and an unshakable determination to
win on facts, can ave the world from
un~speakable calamity of a German
victory"
What | have to say" he told the
students, II offer not a evidence Of
an expert, but as result of personal
observation during many visit to Ger
many in the past II years, and espec-
tally during the first year of war,
These observations were made chief
ly in South Germany. They tend to
make me believe that, however we
may lament the acquiescence of the
German people in the policy of the
German government, that acquiesc-
ence can be explained without sup
posing that a nation hitherto endowed
with many fine qualities has suddenly
become "a horde of criminal barbar-
ians.
For a generation. education in Ger
many has been directed to magnify
ing Germany's claim to play a great
part in the world, while history and
geography have been so taught as to
create the belief that other nations
have unfairly monopolized means of
expansion, and so deprived her of her
chance.
Recent political history has been
.eXpounded in the press to make meas
ures taken by other countries for their
own protection appear as conspiracies
to strange Germany.
