RED CROSS INSURANCE

The American Red Cross has ar ranged for the furnishing of life, health and accident insurance to it's own workers abroad who are not eligi- ble for the benefits of government war risk insurance.
 All foreign workers are to be given, free of cost and without medical ex- animation, 5000 life insurance on the term plan, payable in event of death or at the end of two years, in event of total and permanent disability, and also accident and heath insurance pro- yiding for weekly indemnity payment in case of disability from sickness or injury.
 All foreign workers are also to have the privilege of buying additional life insurance on the ordinary life plan with medical examination, up to a total of $5000-including the 5000 above mentioned. The worker will pay the regular normal premium on same and the American Red Cross will as- sume the extra war risk premium
 In their efforts to secure the best solution of this problem, the Red Cross war council appointed committee Of the Actuarial Society of America who. in cooperation with Robert c. Rath- bone, director of the Red Cross in- surance at Washington, prepared and recommended this plan of insurance. This committee consisted of Arthur Hunter of the New York Life Insurance company chairman; R. Henderson O the Equita hle Life Insurance company

 oregon boys that passed through your delightful city on the evening of Feo- ruary S desire to show as best we can our appreciation for the generous hos pltality accorded us while there. The moments at our disposal to enjoy the hospitality were few, but the accumula- ton of succeeding years can never erase the beauty of your friendliness nor dim the lasting impression we have of YOU wrought from your frank, open and love- ly ways.
 Anything we can do or say will nor settle our account with you, and we are fully conscious of our inability to ex- press to you the deep feeling of kindred love that fills our hearts today. We want to thank the Red Cross, the Y. NJ. c. A., and everyone contributing to our comfort and welfare, and we as sure you that as we approach the blood soaked fields of the old world we wiu carry with us dear sweet memories of Nashville; those memories will finger to remNd us of the duty we owe to the women of America Tis for them that we are fighting, for the home is back of our efforts, and tis they that inspire us, give us courage and determination to defend the cause we represent.
 We would like to know you better, and look forward with eager anticipation to the time when we can come again and renew the short acquaintance that is so pleasing to us.
 We of the west, and you of the south have been accustomed to live in a little world all our own. Our interests, seem
 ngly have not been the same. We have recognized you as our neighbor but that is about all. Unusual happen
 ngs in the south were reported in our daily papers, but with the exception of an impulse of sympathy, of elation, the news was merely of passing moment to us.
 I am sure that the feeling of distant relationship existing so conspcuously be- tween us now will be buried, never to be revived.
 This war is going to amalgamate our interests as one and assemble them into the melting pot of a common cause, the outcome of which will be a reunited love and a better understanding of each other.
 We leave you now with the warmest feelings, and extend the hand of friend ship of loyalty of devotion and good will that reaches out to you from the

It is joy and comfort to know that those much talked of pains and other distresses that are said to proceed collaborating may be avoided No wom- an need fear discomfort if she will fortify herself with the well known and time honored remedy, Mothers Friend
 This is a most grateful, penetrating, external application that at once soft ems and makes pliant the abdominal muscles and fragments. By regular use the muscles expand without the usual strain when baby is born and pain and danger at the crisis is consequently less.
 Women everywhere who have used this famous remedy tell how they en- tirely avoided nervousness. twitching spells, bearing down and stretching pains, and relate how they enjoy entirt freedom from the many facilitating and distressing experiences usually incident to approaching motherhood.
 Mothers Friend is recommended only for the relief and comfort of expectant mothers, thousands of whom have used and recommended 1t. It is for external use only. Is absolutely and entirely safe and wonderfully effective.

CHANGE SPELLING

Acting Field Marshal MOTHS w. Bush of the second Red Cross war fund drive stated yesterday he met young lady on the street and remembering that he had not seen her working with the Rainbow division, asked why she had not joined that army. The young lady in question told him that they didn't spell Rainbow according to her rules, and if they changed the way of spelling it to "Rainbeau" she most certainly would join that army.
