CREDIT FOR
THE SKYLINE FLAG

I In order that all concerned may
have due credit for the placing of
the dag on the Skyline drive desire
to correct the impression that I am
entitled to the credit Tor it. While
1 may possibly be responsible for it
in its present state. yet the idea
originated with Allen Bowen and
he deserves much credit for the un-
furling of the flag on that command
ing height. He devoted his time
to the undertaking and has taken
care of the flag since its erection
there. Fay Moore and his men of
the light and power plant, Hangar
Stockder and W. B. Holland reared
the fiagstbg on the Skyline drive
without expense. aside from the cost
OF the pole. and should not be forgot
ten in placing the credit where the
credit is due. A new flag is to be
purchased soon and kept flying from
the Skyline drive until the war with
Germany is ended.

A quarter pound Of limestone phos-.

but is sufficient to make any rheumatic,

Millions of people keep their joints
free from these rheumatic acids by prac-
ticing this daily internal sanitation. A
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate, drank before
breakfast, is wonderfully invigorating;
besides, it is an excellent health measure
because it cleanses the alimentary organs
OF all the waste, gases and sour fermen-

JUST PLAIN KNITTING

The youngsters who are marching
away to the war have no knowledge
Of the knitting power Of the mothers
and grand mothers of other years
and how they worked night and day
for the soldier boys of another war.
Men Of war age now, very few of
them, know much of the old time
Knitting they do not even know
the comforts of woolen socks, gloves.
sweaters, mufflers and other things
thai the mothers of the olden days
made up.
But if our Red Cross knitting
gees on like it has been started, ii
will not be long before the wearing
appeared viii be felt on the frcrt lines
Then tqstimdnials as ltotthe comforts
enjoyed from the knit goods will
come back home to assure the women
at work shat somebody knows the
value oftheir work. si's@
1t is with pleasure that the Dis
patch calls attention to the splendid
work which Mrs. Dean, mother Of
Mrs. A. ]. Webb ard Mrs. A. p
Chrchwell, is doing for the soldiers
e. today She. was among those who
limit 3fcur ldng years tor the soldiers
of the civil war She has already
done far more than the ordinary
young miss for the boys who are
marching awy. She knows some
thing of their needs and is at work.
II is a fine example of patriotism.
Mrs. Dean wants to teach the young
ladies how to get into the knitting
of the Nreal serviceable kind and
and help more OF them to help the
soldiers. These who want to do
something ought to take her efforts
as an object lesson.
