gram Calls for Huge Expansion Of
Work and Expenditure of Over so
Millions.

The latest large development of the
Knights of Columbus war relief work
is the allotment of men and material
for the foreign field. Two thousand
more secretaries have been called for,
and the task of selecting the right men
from the hundreds of applicants is pro-
ceeding as rapidly as the utmost care
and consideration permit. Another
large party of secretaries recently ar
rived in France, and yet others are
being arranged for, so that by early
autumn it is highly probable that an
army of one thousand K. of c.. secre-
taries will be recruited and assigned
to duty in the field. Under all the
circumstances attending the enlistment
and assignment of men to relief work
with the American forces, this will
constitute a unique achievement.
A Sample Order.
The K. of G. Committee on War Ac-
tivities is placing huge orders for ma
terial to be shipped abroad to the men.
A sample order recently placed for
quick delivery consists Of so million
cigarettes, each bearing the K. of G.
monogram; ten tons of sweet choco-
late, two million packages of chewing
gum, two million bouillon cubes; and
copious supplies of coffee, condensed
milk and other comforts, have been or
dered for prompt shipment to the
front. In addition, several 31a-ton mo-
tor trucks have been acquired to aid
in Facilitating the distribution of the
vast quantities of material once they
arrive in France. Three million en-
velopes and one and half million
letterhads comprise the weekly sup
ply of stationary used by the hundreds
of thousands of men who frequent the
K. of G. buildings.

APPEAL TO THE.
CATHOLIC PEOPLE
Catholic Population Of America Whole.
heartedly Accepted Its Full Share
of Work and Put Forth Its Re.
sourses in the Defense Of Democ.
racy.

From the moment when our Country
made it's momentousr decision to enter
this tremendous conflict the whole
Catholic population of America has en-
Enthusiastically and whole-heartedly ac-
cepted it's full share of work and sac
rifice and has unstintingly put forth
all it's resources to stand with all other
Americans in the defense of our sacred
principles of right and national duty.
We need scarcely record this OBJ
vious fact. The whole world knows it
and realizes. its efficacy and impor-
tance. The Catholics of America are
in the vanguard Of the nations service,
on land and on sea, in the trenches
and in the works. And until this
fierce combat is finished and the cause
for which we fight has triumphed their
efforts will increase.
Our President, has clearly stated the
high principles upon which that sacred
cause rests-they are as universal as
they are unselfish. We battle for the
welfare of men of every nation asking
no special indemnities for our sacri-
fees other than those which all free
men always seek. Surely this raises
our aims and purposes up to the noblest
standard of action, and sets the soul Of
the nation above the meanness and pet
tiness of selfish conquest or unchris-
tian hate.
Just for this reason may we turn
with fullest confidence to the God of
justice and mercy, beseeching Him to
accept our sacrifices, guide our rulers,
and give success to our Arms.
From every corner of America arises
the cry of souls to. God. The nation
is on its knees before the King of
Kings. That is the surest sign that

NEW DISCOVERY is
TALK OF NATION

The medical fad of to-day is Iro-
gen. In fact, aside from the great
war, The discovery of Irogen and the
possibilities offered by it in the treat
ment of disease is the most talked of
subject in the nation at the present
time.
Everywhere people tell of the re-
marketable results obtained from the
use of Irogon. Long suffering ended,
troubles overcome that had seemed
would never yield TO any treatment,
nerves and muscles that were UNI
strung and weak made firm and
strong, and vigor end health brought
to those who had become thin, frail
and sickly.
Physicians claim that Irogen builds
up the strength and vigor of the sys-
tenn thru the blood, thus making it
immune from germs-or, in other
words, gives the system the strength
to throw off germs. Once the germs
Of disease are driven out, nature be-
gins her work of rebuilding the it's
sues and organs by the use of rich
red blood which has been nourished
by the essential elements contained
in Irogen.
Warning is givcn, however, that
owing to its woll-known iesh-bujld-
ing powers Irogen should not be
taken by anyone who does not de-
sire to add flesh.
Note-Irogen, the product men
toned above, is now on sale in Union
City by divers Drug Store; in Ken
ton by Gem Pharmacy, and by the
leading druggists in practically every
city, town and village in the State.
