For those who are in need Of a rem

it is a good plan t. try Doan's Kidney

RED CROSS HELPS FAMILIES

The Department of Civilian Relief
Of the Red Cross, has. with the cor
dial approval of the Bureau of War
Risk Insurance, already undertaken
sailors who are entitled to family al
loWances and to compulsory alIot-
ment Of pay. Of their rights under
this law. This is an immense task
and one most logically related to the
purpose of home service.
1t is not to be understood that Home
Service workers Will invade the
homes Of all soldiers and sailors with
out invitation to offer suggestions
that may not BE- desired. The fact
that such information is available,
with sympathetic advice and assist
will be made known. Those who find
the help desirable viii be welcomed
at the Office of each Home Service
section.
1t may be well to add in this con
nection that an enlisted mans wife
and children are entitled to the fam
lily allowance that the government
provides from the mere fact that they
are his wife and children. There will
be no examination into the question
of their financial condition.
The war risk insurance law pro
yides also for voluntary allotment OF
pay by the listed man to parent
erandchild, brother or sister, and tt
any Of these also a family allowance
under three conditions. First, the en-
listed man nus make an allotment O
at least five dollars a month, or one
seventh of his pay, whichever is great
er, and apply for the allowance. !
he is not making a compulsory allo,
ment to wife or children. he must frs
allot fifteen dollars a month, or I'm I
one-half Of his pay. Second, the re-
alive must be actually dependent. 1

MEN IN THE TRENCHES

Harry Lauder tells in the January
American Magazine OF his experience
in France. and he says.
Il spent many days in the trenches,
the rest camps, the hospitals, and in
the surrounding towns. and the most
definite impression | carried away was
phere which surrounds the French
and English soldiers in France. I
talked with some of the men for hours
at a time about their experiences in
battle, about their thoughts Of home,
about their feeling toward the enemy,
but the II thing ! came away with,
above all other impressions, was the
conviction that every single one of
these men, no matter what amer of
lives they had lived before, o pos
sess a calm, clear conviction that If
they fall in the thick of the fight, they
pass into the life beyond.
""That's why we take such chances
one man old me simply. DO you
think for a moment that if we thought
that life held nothing for us than the
earthly body We possess, we would
fight with such a confidence and eager
ness? We would not be able to, be-
cause we would be doing everything
in our power to preserve this life of
ours. But seeing men die as ! have
seer them, | know better than to dis
believe in a future life. And because
we have no fear of death, every one
OF us fling ourselves over the bags
and on to the Huns with a fierce, al
most savage JOY. We are almost Jap
anese in our fatalism, and because
that spirit is sweeping among our men
we are going TO win this var We
don't believe it possible that men who
20 into battle. knowing that they are
fighting for a righteous cause, and un-
afraid of death, can be beaten back
forever. Some days, at some point,
the enemy must weaken, and then we
will sweep over the tops and nothing
will hold us back. We know 1t just
as surely as we know the sun will rise
tomorrow"
