Philadelphia, May 1.-One of the

Men who have fought them must
forever face the possibility of the be-
wildering biackneSS that descended
upon Corporal Thomas S. CoSgrove,
late of the L. S. A. in France, who
came here Monday with ten of Perish
ing's men to speed up the third Liber-
ty Loan He went blind in Wana-

When il happened the corporal was
speaking from the Liberty Loan booth
and facing an audience of 200. But
he said he hadn't been able to see
faces for some time before he stop

Knights Of Health

Just what it means to be a mod
ern health crusader is told by Wal
ter A. Dyer, in The Red Cross Maga-
zine for April, 1918.
Throughout the United States
half million children are at present
enrolled in an enterprise which bids
fair to achieve vastly more impor-
tant ends. 1t is a crusade against
dirt and disease. Half million
children between the ages of five and
sixteen are enrolled under banner
bearing a Crusaders cross, and have
pledged themselves to undertake a
round fhygienic duties for one year
and to do what they can to improve
the health conditions of their homes
and communities. There is health
and mental discipline in regular du-
ties of this sort.
In my own family in addition to
these crusaders chores We have some
additional duties which might be
called time chores or concentration
chores. l can still hear my father
say, Charles, don't loiter,' when L
was dreaming between the woodshed
and that big box by the kitchen
stove. To teach my son Walter to
do one thing at a time and stick to
it till done, his mother and l made
it a chore for him to get dressed in
ten minutes and undressed in seven
minutes. Son took to this readily.
Father, time me-" is comfon re-
quest in our household
