"GLORY ID GOD IN TIE HIGHEST, 0N
 EARTH PEACE, GOOD WILL ID MEN,

The greatest message in his tory since the Savior of the:world was heralded by the Angles hov- ering over the lonely manager at Bethelehem, was flashed around the world on the morning of November 11th, 1918.
 An international holiday was born in which all men in ali lands over the whole wide world re- joiced, sang, prayed, shouted and wept when the Peace Armistice was signed by Germany, whose bloody flag of tyrany and horror was torn down never to be un- furled again and the world was made safe for Democracy.
 Men everywhere have turned their hearts and minds to God in thanksgiving and praise and once more the sweet music of indis- turbcd industry will be heard in the land, factories will cease making murder machinery and the sword will surely be beaten into blow shares ane the conten- ted people will turn their minds from devestation of human life to rebuilding new empires upon. the principles of the Golden Rule.''
Cleveland County herald., 1918-11-14

Soon the home coming of ou1 sons will gladden. our hearts anc reunited we will pledge ourselves to the principles of righteousness and brotherly love and safe guaro the world against war and blood shed. sa sas... ssn.
 There will be no more east ol west or north or south for tn, sons of America have fought ano died side by side and the valol of the spirit of both north and south has been vindicated on Flanders field, and the comrade ship of the battlefield will last through all the years of our lives and bind us together in an unbroken tie.

Vitae
THE GUARANTEED TONIC
 FOR WOMEN

SteRla-Vitae has been in success. full use in the treatment of those diseases peculiar to women for more than a third of q century.
 For nearly zen years it has been sold under plain, positive guarantee to benefit. Less than one bot tie out of every one thousand sold has been refunded for, and every claim for a refund has been satisfied.
 Thousands of letters like this praising Stella=Vitae and telling of benefit to suffering women have been received.
 fArs. E. II. Russell, of Mill Springs, N. O., gratefully writes us as follows:
 l was In a most Wretched condi- tlon; had palpitation of the heart and would swell and bloat in most distressing way. When I began using StelIa-Vitae 1 weighed 108 pounds. Now l weigh 135. am more thankful than 1 can ever teli you for the great good this won- derful medicine has done me-"
 Mrs Russell was at that critica. period, the ''change,n and her sincere gratitude for the blessed relief will be understood and appreciated by every woman who reads her letter.
 Stella=Yitae has proved boon to suffering Womanhood, to young girls approaching their first vital period, to women approaching the anguish of childbirth, to women approaching the ''change of life" SteGla-Vifae strength cns the female organs and promotes regularity in the monthly function.
 No risk of loss is taken by any suf- 1eEing woman who tries SfeI1asVitae on our guarantee of the first bottle.
 All dealers sell SteETa~Vitae and will return your money if it does not hepe. fit you. Don't put of 8 tEial.

 A new kind of women's army has come into being. It is called the "Sun- shine Division" It started under un- usual circumstances. Margaret Wood row Wilson, the presidents daughter. known for her patriotic war service :; her aide, Major Oakes, and small group of friends, including Miss Mar IGrie Brown of Atlanta Ga., daughter of one of the leading men of the south. and relative of the president, were discussing women's part in the WAT and the importance Of enlisting the effort, talent, and activity of every woman In the country The need of organization and direction of that time and talent not already devoted to def bite war work was recognized, and out of the discussion came plans for conserving the patriotic effort of every patriotic woman, and more especially the young women of the country The "army" to be recruited was designated the Sunshine Division" Its scope of service is limited only by the ability of the enlisted women to serve, and there Is no woman ineligible for serv- ice except she who is already doing Ter utmost to help win the war. Par ticulars are available from Maj. A. P. Oakes, now stationed at United War Work headquarters, Dallas, Tex.

means the most important parts. And
II YOU were TO talk TO the soldiers who
have been doing the fighting you would
find that they too are interested In
many OF the seemingly little things
But make no mistake about this
he pigeons that carry the war mes
tages back from the firing line to the
commanding officers are not by any
means unimportant. They are not, OF
course as important as the capture OF
such an important city as Cambria, or
the great numbers OF prisoners taken
during the last few weeks or Germany
and Austria asking for pesce, but at the
same time they are well worth know
ing about"

Uncle Harry Talks About War
Pigeons and Just Plain Pigeons

Glow far VIII these pigeons fly and
return homer" asked Jimmy.
"There are records Of birds that have
returned to their homes after flylns
more than 1000 miles" said Uncle Har-
~. "And the fastest flying record that
| know Of is that OF a pigeon that flew
a distance OF 5ii miles IN little over
ten hours which is at the rate Of about
80 miles an hour or almost a mile a
minute"
II guess the armies have hundreds OF
pigeons in training all the time, haven't
they?" asked Jimmy.
Thousands" said Uncle Harry. Be
cause every advancing unit In all the
different armies needs them, all the
aylators carry them-both in the aero
planes that fly over the battleflelds and
the seaplanes that fly over the water
And. by the way, there have been a
number OF instances where pigeons re-
leased by ayiatOrs in seaplsnes that
had been wrecked at sea have brought
boats 10 the rescue and saved the ayia-
tors lives And time after time in the
great battles that have been raging
along the Western front, these faith
ful birds. released by the officers in
charge OF the advancing forces, have
carried back the most important mes
sages 10 the commanding officers. Some
times the birds are shot down by the

II, Jimmy2"
Il guess, II l ask it, you'll think
maybe there's something the matter

Not at all, Jimmy" replied Uncle
Harry laughing. Il think your brain
is probably just as good and sound as

'I'ye been wondering about the war

pigeons that carry messages back from
the advancing troops" added Jimmy
Maybe you think It's strange for me
10 be interested in such a small thing
when so many, many big things have
been happening IN the war lately, but
I've seen quite a number OF references
10 these pigeons and I've wished many

them

Brown-you know, that lives around
