LlGHTENS BURDEN OF GRIEF
Hard to Overestimate the Influence Of
a Smiling Face on Those
in Suffering.

It would be impossible to deny that
love and sympathy possess "A great
influence over the whole course OF
our lives. How many. let the reader
ask himself or herself, are daily drift
ing astray for the want of these vir-
tues? The thought of having no one
to care for them, no one 10 listen TO
their plans with word of encourage
ment or sympathy in their failures;
no one to soothe or heal bodily suf-
ferings, or To whisper word Of COM
fort when bowed down i'm sorrow, has
caused many hearts to fill with dark
ness and despair. The read to pro-
mote love and sympathy is open to
all, there are no barred gates to pre-
vent an entry, no one ready TO prose-
cute for trespassing; all are free TO
enter. It's best visible and invisible
advertisement is a smiling face and
q kind heart. AS the sunshine is TO
the flowers. so is the influence of the
face which meets you with smile;
as the rain moistens the parched
ground and brings forth the fruit OF
the earth, equally so is the burden Of
invisible grief lightened by the help
of gentle heart.

SITES CHOSEN FOR
U.S.. WAR HOSPITALS
Will Be Erected In Nineteen
American Cities.

washington, Sept. 1T.-Sites have
been chosen tentatively in nineteen
cities for the great reconstruction
hospitals in which the United States
will begin the work of rehabiitating
for private life it's soldiers who re-
turn wounded from the front in
Europe. The cities, selected as the
largest centers of population, have
been announced by Maj. Gen. Gorgas,
surgeon-general of the army. as fol-
lows:
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Washington. Buffalo, Gin.
cinnati. Chicago, st. Paul. Seattle
San Francisco. Los Angeles. Denver
Kansas City, ST. Louis. Memphis
Richmond. Atlanta and New Orleans
The hospitals at Boston, New York
Washington and Chicago probably
will have 500 beds, with provisions
for doubling their capacity if neces
sary
THE whole conception of govern
mental and national responsibility
for caring for the wounded, said
Gen Gorgas in making the announce
ment. has undergone radical change
during the months of study given the
subject by experts serving with the
medical officers reserve corps anc
others consulting with them. Instead
of the old idea that responsibility
ended with the return of the soldier
to private life with his wounds healed
and such pension as he might bt
given. ii is now considered that it Is
the duty OF the government to equiv
and re-edueate the wounded man
after healing his wounds, and to re
turn him to civil life, ready to be a.
useful to himself and his country a
possible.

PASSION THAT MAKES THIEVES
Emerson's Declaration Concerning
Book Collectors Would Seem TO
Have Been Amply Justified.

Ralph Waldo Emerson once declared
1.-The passion Of classification masters
the mind and makes rogpes OF honest
men," The case of professor OF the
ology in the University of Berlin. who
had just been convicted Of stealing
books from the university, reminds
writer In the Boston Transcript of En,-
erson's saying and of the following In
cidents:
"W. s. Shaw, the founder Of the Bos-
ton Athenaeum. used TO steal from the
private libraries OF his friends any
books he wanted 10 make his darling
Athenaeum complete. Collectors Of
shells steal 'orangias' from the Grin
nells' mantelpiece and Mrs. Collins
house at Siasconset. Mellish Moore
told me that the books stolen from the
Boston Athenaeum are mostly from
the theological department, so that
they are forced TO keep those locked
up. But the books most often taken
are patent reports, by lawyers" Pro-
fessional and collecting morals must
have improved since Emerson wrote
those words in his Journal I'm the fifties;
he goes on and adds: "But even In
comparatively late days 1 have seen
some queer instances of collecting zeal
AS, for example. this: 4 couple OF
respectable Boston business men, one
of whom collected weapons. visited
very swell house in Rhode Island once
in the absence of the family; they
were admitted by the aged caretaker;
while in the drawing-room. one OF
these reputable gentlemen engaged the
old custodian i'm conversation while the
other slipped under his coat the au-
thentic tomahawk Of noted Indian
chief-and got away with it. And the
queerest part of the matter was that
the collector used to boast of the
achievement when exhibiting the toma-
hawk as an item of his treasures

CLIP THIS AND PIN
ON WIFE'S DRESSER
Cincinnati man tells how to shriveI
up corns or caIIuses so they
lift off with fingers.

Ouch ! 2 !! I? 4! -! This kind of rough
talk will be heard less here in town if
people troubled with corns will follow
the simple advice of this Cincinnati
authority, who claims that a few drops
of drug called freezone when applied
to tender, aching corn or hardened cal
lus stops soreness at once, and soon the
corn or callus dries up and lifts right
off without pain.
He says freezone dries Immediately
and never infames or even irritates the
surrounding skin. A small bottle of
freezone will cost very little at any
drug store, but will positively remove
every hard or soft corn or callus from
ones feet. Millions of American women
will welcome this announcement since
the Inauguration of the high heels. If
your druggist doesn't have freezsne tell
him to order small bottle for you.
