Stomach Dead
Man Still Lives

People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation of food, distress after eat
ing and indigestion, and seek relief
in large chunks of artificial digestors,
are killing their stomachs by inaction
just as surely as the victim of morphine
is deadening and injuring beyond re-
pair every nerve in his body.
What the stomach Of every sufferer
from indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stom-
ach, put strength, energy and elastiei-
ty into it, and make it sturdy enough
to digest hearty meal without arti-
fieial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists every
where and by Dam J. Fry and is rig
idly guaranteed to build up the stom-
aeh and cure Indigestion or money
back.
This prescription is named Mi-O-na,
and is sold in small sablet form in
large boxes, for only a few cents. Re
member the name, Mi-o-na stomach
tablets They never fail.

TO THE RED CROSS WORKERS

While expressing our gladness over
the end of hostiities, we can take a
moment to survey our past and our fu-
ture. The American Red Cross has been
an emergency branch of the govern
ment responding with speed and eff
cheney to all calls made upon it, and
lupholding the traditional principles of
the Red Cross Humanity and Mercy"
The people who had to stay at home
must not forget the urgent cries heard
from all over the world from those
who will take no part in holiday cheer,
who are in the utmost need of cloth
ing of every kind. We are urged by
division headquarters to marshal our
forces and send on with utmest speed
completed garments, information re-
garding the kind of garments needed
and material can be secured at chapter
headquarters or from Mrs. Russell Cat
/ lin, chairman of the committee. 1t is
hoped that many workers will pledge
la certain amount of work each week
so long as this urgent demand contin-
ues.
The American Red Cross sent 5000
tons of condensed milk to the children
of prisoners in Arehangel, Siberia, and
5000 pounds of powdered milk to the
children of France.
Blankets numbering 100000 were
sent to France by the Red Cross emer-
gencies.
The Red Cross has established over
10 hospitals in France for tuberculosis
patients.
Ten thousand convalescent robes
were sent by the Red Cross for use in
tuberculosis camps.
100000 chocolate bars we're sent by
the Red Cross to England for Ameri-
can soldiers. waiting to go to France.
The above are just few of the big
things your grand organization is do
ing Ism t it a pleasure and an honor
to join such an association and all it
costs is $1.00 per year. Yours for the
Christmas Roll Call.

Chairman Willamette Chapter.

She had no time for thought, all the
next day. And was so tired that she
slept nearly all the way to New York.
She was over-joyed when she saw Brian
waiting for her at the head of the stair

led the way to taxi.

TRANSPORTATION OF OUR
TROOPS

"a transport miracle, Sir John
Maclay, the British controller of ship
ping, calls the success with which the
United States has moved 1,50O, 900
American soldiers from their scat
tered camps on this side the Atlantic
to the fighting areas across the seas.
Although the seas have been beset by
the enemy the loss of life in taking
the men across has been almost in
finitesimally small. This bit of Amer
lean efficiency has not only surprised
our enemies; we have surprised our
friends and even ourselves.
And it isn't all due to the Navy. The
railroads have had their share in the
achievement. Director General Nc
Adoo seems justified in his statement
that while the development of the
Railroad Administration requires
time, progress has been made toward
the goal.
And it isn't all due to the Navy and
the railroads, either. 1t is the Liberty
Bond purchasers who made it possible,
and back of the purchasers the Lib
erty Bond. If the people respond to
the Fighting Fourth as they did to the
First, Second and Third, and there is
every indication that they will, there
is no telling what other miracles may
be accomplished.

EXPENSES OF WAR

When it is realized that one 16-inch
shell complete with explosives, pack
ing, ETC., costs nearly $1,000 some idea
can be formed of what even a slight
encounter with the enemy costs in
these days of modern warfare. The
actual money involved in such an Of
fensive as has recently been going on
on the western front is almost too
much for the average person to imag-
inc. Too few stop to think about it.
They are ready enough to xhsAt for
the brave boys who have held back
nothing from their country's call but
they do not always stop to think as
they should that the shouts should
have strong foundation under them,
a foundation of Liberty Bonds and Lib
erty Bonds and still more Liberty
Bonds. Every dollar counts and ev-
cry dollar that can be put into bond
does just so much toward winning the
war. One dollar will buy an overseas
cap; so cents will buy pair of woolen
gloves; so cents a summer gldsSahirt
and $2.10 a winter one 1t takes $225
to buy an artillery (wheeD harness
and $4,000 to provide one 16-inch
