THE RED CROSS COMES
By JEANNE JUDsoN.

Lest we forget the simple joys,
The kindly thoughts, the human tears,
The harmless laughter and the song
We knew in other happier years,
Lest we grow hard, and cruel and cold,
And being young, our hearts are old,
Held in the grasp o. death undied,
The Red Cross comes to fill again,
The cup of mercy long since spilled,
Bid in our hearts the birds to sing,
Reviving JOY that anger killed.

DAILY HEALTH TALKS
Where Most Sickness Begins
and Ends
BY FRANKLIN DUANE, NJ. D.

Ii can be said broadly that most human
ills begin in the stomach and end in the
stomach. Good digestion means good
health, and poor digestion means bad
health. The minute your stomach fails to
properly dispose Of the food you eat,
troubles begin to crop out in various forms.
Indigestion and dyspepsia are the COM
monest forms, but thin, impure blood,
headaches, backaches, pimples, blotches,
dizziness, belching, coated tongue, weak
ness, poor appetite, sleeplessness, coughs,
colds and bronchitis are almost as common.
There is but one way to have good health,
and that is to put and keep your stomach
in good order This is easy to do if you
take DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t is wonderful tonic and blood
purifier, and is so safe to take, for it Is
made OF roots and herbs DR.. Pierce, of
Buffalo, n. Y, stands behind this standard
medicine, and it is good to know that so
distinguished physician is proud to have
his name identified with it. When you
take Golden Medical Discovery, you are
getting the benefit OF the experience OF
doctor whose reputation goes all around
the earth. Still more, you get temper
ance medicine that contains not drop OF
alcohol or narcotic of any kind Long ago
DIR. Pierce combined certain valuable
vegetable Experimentation the use OF
alcohol-so that these remedies always
have been strictly temperance medicines.
II piles are torturing you, get and use
Pierce's Anodyne Pile Ointment. The
quick relief it gives is hard to believe until
you try it. If constipated, DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets should be taken while
using Anodyne Pile Ointment. Few in
deed are the cases which these splendid
remedies will not relieve and usually over
come. They are so good that nearly
every drug store has them for sale.

If you must have your meat every

when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine gets
cloudy, full of sediment, the channels
often get sore and irritated, obliging
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night
E. To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleanse the kidneys and flush of

ounces Of Jad Salts from any pharm-

CHAPEAiNS TELL OF FRONT
Moral and Religious Situation There
;, Declared to Be Excellent, and
~ . Will Stay That Way. =

Chaplains Francis B. Doherty and
Lyman Rollins have just returned
Efrom France on a military mission to
the United States. F. ,..'
Chaplain Doherty is attached to gen
eraI headquarters in France, being as
ISOLATED with Bishop Charles FL. Brent
and Chaplain Paul Dwight Moody (son
of the well-known evangelist of that
name) in the general headquarters
chaplains' office. The function Of this
office is, declares the religious public
ity committee, the direction and dis
tribution of chaplains' activities IN
France to the end Of the attainment OF
the best and special interests of all
concerned, under General Pershng.
This work carries with it considerable
travel and gives an intimate knowledge
Of the situation from religious and
moral point of view.
From this broad knowledge Chap
lain Doherty says: "Everywhere we
? find the same situation, here the same
story; the condition and the spirit OF
the men are excellent" When leaving
France on his present mission the
chaplain asked General Pershng:
r"May we not tell our people in Amer
lea that the moral and religious situa-
ton here is eminently high and very
satisfactory? The reply was: Eyes,
and you may say furthermore, that 1t
is going to be kept up to that"
IChaplains Doherty and Rollins spoke
enthusiastically Of the altogether adj
mirable spirit of fraternity existing
between those who are ministering to
our soldiers. The Catholic chaplains,
they say, are not merely looking to
the good Of the Catholic boys nor the
Protestant to that Of the Protestant
boys; each is working for the best in
terest Of every man.

SILK EMBROIDERY HAS CALL
Decoration Ranks With Fringe; Mixed
With Metal and silk; Dyed In
Wondrous CoIors.

Ranking with fringe as an omni-
present fashion lis wool embroidery,
notes a fashion correspondent. There
Is small chance Of avoiding 1t, how
ever, and no real necessity for it. 1t is
ubiquitous, it Is true, but 1t has GER
tain trickery of appeal that no one can
resist. H.,
1t is never the same The art of the
embroiderer twists and turns it into a
vast variety Of pleasing pictures. The
French gowns show it In every form
that their artist embroiderers can in
vent. -
1t is mixed with metal and silk; 1t
is dyed in rare and wondrous colors !;
1t is lifted from the surface or pulled
fatty against it: it is used in series
of dewdrops a half yard in width, to
give the appearance of warmth to the
fabric; and it is used in a subtle, or
namental manner that suggests the
craft of the fifteenth century.
In its onward march, it has Obliter-
ated silk embroidery, but it has en-
phasized the popularity of metal work.
In truth, a woman who Is dressed ac-
cording to the demands of the mo-
ment, is almost as metallic as NUM-
tons factory. It is one Of the first
strong evidences of the effect Of war.
1t is said by the students of human
nature that the further the battle line
retreats from Paris, the more it will
be reflected in her sartorial inspira-
tons. Maybe so. Usually, it takes a
nation half century to reflect great
war, but in Paris, there has always
been a disposition to employ the fash
ions of the countries conquered. SO
far, there has only been a chance to
exploit the East. This was done in
the tulle wells, the wrapped turbans, the
flaring minaret tunic and the tight
skirt. . -. t..
