In every home camp. and right up
to the firing lines abroad, the tri-
angle badge is there, a sign Of hos
pitality-of the "heayen-sent organ
ization," as an English Tommy de-
scribed il. The women who work
for the y. NJ. c. A. in France are
all volunteers. They sign on for
work in spells of four months. They
pay all their own expenses, including
their neat uniforms Of gray coats
and skirts with blue facings. Their
work is very varied. They cook,
serve in the canteens, help the men
with their games and letters, and
provide them with books and enter
tainments in the rest huts. Also,
they look after the relatives of the
dangerously wounded, sent for by
the hospital authorities. The influ-
ence of these women workers has
been invaluable, introducing a soft
or and more human element. which
breaks the monotony Of the soldiers
life OF discipline.
1t is only within the last few
weeks that the call to women to join
the land army has been general. but
already many have offered them
selves, undaunted by the picture of
hard, heavy. dirty work presented to
them by Mr.. Prothero, the Minis
ter for Agriculture. Individual wom-
en- working on the land for some
time have proved beyond question
how successfully women can carry
on agricultural work, particularly
the care of live stock. The menace
Of the German submarines on the
food supplies Of the country has pro-
duced a rousing answer from wom-
en-. Many thousands have left sur
roundings of interest and comfort
to follow what is TO some a hard and
monotonous life. They work in all
weathers, living often in rough ac-
commodation, poorly paid and with
little leisure.

shillings a day, of which two-thirds
is being borrowed, leaving 9 pence
to be raised by taxation. And do
not forget that but for the fact that
women came forward in hundreds Of
thousands to fill the places Of the
men recruited the British export
trade would have collapsed. It would
have been impossible for US 10 finance
our foreign commitments.
As ones thoughts turn to all the
interesting work which our women
are doing to-day, the silent patriot
ism Of the country's housewives de-
serves a thought. Wives and mothers
whose hands are too full 10 leave
them any personal scope for war
work, who have perhaps given nus
band or a sen to the army, and for
whom the only demonstrative form
of patriotism lies in the uncongenial
tasks of economy-the saving Of
money and food-they are all doing
their share. There are few house
keepers in the country who do not
know what is expected Of them. To
nourish family on the voluntary
rations under present conditions Of
shopping, and at present prices, de.
mands perpetual enterprise. energy
and concentration. While we read
daily of heroism in factories, in hos
pitfalls, of enthusiasm in every va
riety of public service, we should
not forget the hidden sacrifice Of
those to whom more striking service
is denied. Thousands of women are
held back by obligations such as the
care Of the young and Of the old, Of
the sick and the infrm-ties which
must only make more tempting the
wonderful vista of new possibilities
which are rising before other women.
In spite of the anguish and desc
lation which the war has cast over
our country, these years have seen
the dawn of a new era which, as it
brightens, opens up to the women Of
tomorrow almost incalculable Wis
ions and possibilities. The girls Of
to-day will succeed in the coming
years to a new heritage. The fut-
ure of civilization lies with the
young.
We already know how nobly
American women have helped in the
war as neutrals. Now, when our
cause is your cause, we turn to you
as allies with glowing confidence
and hope.

Aided in Making
Heavy Artillery

Women's hands have helped in the
making Of every type Of weapon Of
war, from heavy artillery to rifles; in
ammunition of every size, from huge
shells to machine gun bullets, and in
the construction Of aeroplanes, in
Guiding their engines. They are
working in the shipbuilding yards
throughout the country. The gov
eminent alone employs in the royal
1ockyards over 1000 women to-day,
where before the war it employed
$50.
Development in the highly skilled
branches of work has been nothing
short of astonishing. After few
months of tuition, wOmeE are doing
work to-day in which formerly men
we're only considered TO acquire pro-
fciency after six or seven years of
training. a few months ago women
we're engaged on All different NUM-
ton processes, and the recent extern
sion has been so great that women's
work may be said TO enter the whole
engineering and chemical trades.
Women are building a great part OF
one of the best high speed engines
in the country, each woman setting
her own tools, an operation requir-
ing considerable technical skill. In
the construction of chassis for heavy
army lorries and in marine engine
building women arc undertaking
more and more work. In the deli
cate work essential for aero-engines
they are turning on centre lathes TO
q half Of a thousandth Of an inch.

ment. bandages, garments and COM
forts for the sick and wounded. The
organization Of entertainments Tor
the army, for the hospitals and for
raising money for war charities has
been another way in which women
have rendered fine service. Their
efforts have brought happiness and
renewed gayety 10 hundreds Of thou
sands of men.
And now munition making. In
the first few months Of the war less
than 100000 women were engaged
in war industries. To-day there are
considerably over 100000. Thus,
of the 5000 900 workers behind the
army, women constitute nearly a
quarter. Under the general term

forms of work, both SIX He'd and UNI
skilled, from the heavy manual labor
Of loading and unloading trucks of
ammunition to the most intricate
and delicate of engineering and cleo
trical operations.

Work Never Stops.
Day or Night

The work never stops by night or
day, and the shifts of twelve hours
include only one and half hours
interval for rest and refreshment.
To watch young girls hard at work
for twelve hours a day, working on
shells, lubricating bullets, handling
cordite. making, inspecting and
gauging fuses, examining work
where the thousandth part of an
inch is a vital matter, running their
machines deity and easily, and
spending their days in the danger
buildings among explosives with
IS little fuss as if they were knitting
socks, brings a realization of some
thing of what lies behind the list OF
operations on which women are en-
gagged to-day.
Undoubtedly, much Of the success
full working of munition factories
must be attributed to the develop
ment of welfare work. A wise wei
fare supervisor has endless power
for good. She can insist on healthy
cheerful surroundings for the work
ers. she can straighten out their dlf-
fculties and advise them on the hun
bred and one details which the do
nestle guardian of huge works can
set to rights by understanding, pa
tience and tact. The practical ad-
vantages of welfare work are ad-
mirably demonstrated in one great
Government factory. While IN De-
cember, 1915, only 400 women and
girls were employed, to-day over
$4,000 women have been added to the
staff, every one Of whom has been
engaged personally by the welfare
supervisor.

the splendid organization of the
British Red Cross Society and the

maintenance Of their joint work over

of their hospital supplies has been

an opportunity has arisen for the
maritime workers-the thousands

them from throwing themselves en-
tirelv into war work, but who have
been able to give a certain number
Of hours weekly. Throughout the

Doubtless if yous are a sufferer from pepsfn. bismuth soda. charcoal, drugs and various digestive aids and you know these things will not cure your trouble-in some cases do not even give relief.
 But before giving up hope and de ciding you are a chronic -dyspeptic just try the effect of little Bisurated Mag nesia-not the ordinary commercial carbonate, citrate, oxide or milk, but the pure Bisurated Magnesia, which you can obtain from practically any druggist in either powder or tablet form.

Paris, Oct. 31.-The firm conviction that the Italians, with the aid of tho French and BritisbI troops sent to re- inforce them, wilIstOp the invasion of Italian territory was expressed by Jules Cambon, general secretary to the ministry of foreign affairs, in his weekly talk to the American cores nondents.
 The Italians, said NJ. Cannbon, he was sure would pull themselves to- gether and repair what he alluded to as the accident" which had happen ed to a part of their army. The Italian forces as a whole, he believed, would be inspired by the firm atti- tude and confidence of King Victor Emmanuel, a cool-headed and courag- eous man.
 Satisfaction in the fact that a number of American congressman had arrived in Trance was expressed by NJ Cambon. Ho hoped that they would visit the French front, where American soldiers are now fratefniz- ing with their comrades of the en- tente forces.
