Mrs. Underwood gave me a quick,
curious glance.
"Oh, the gown. of course; 1t goes

Formed by Red Cross in

PARIS. Thursday. March 1.-THE
American Red Cross has formed an

American camp, every soldier in hos

Henry j. Allen, of Kansas, has been
placed in charge of the bureau, which
is divided into four sections. The Sec
ton concerning missing men and pris-
oners is required to search for the men
whether they fall in No-Mans Land,
disappear in bombing operations or
are taken prisoners. A line of COM
municatiOn has been opened through
Switzerland by which mail and sup
plies now are reaching prisoners.
Searchers who visit the camps and
hospitals interview the comrades of
missing men for the purpose of OBJ
tanning desired information. The Sec
ton for the sick, wounded and dead
has for its purpose the sending home
Of information relating to men who
are unable to write for themselves.
Sensible, sympathetic women, who
not only search for information but
who write letters from bedsides to the
next Of kin in America, have been
selected for this work
When a man dies from his wounds
the searcher will be able to send to
his family letter giving all the con-
ditions and particulars about his bur
ial. Stenographers will be supplied in
the larger hospitals to aid the work
ers in sending letters to relatives of
the sick and wounded.
The army has turned over to the
third section of the bureau the work
of photographing graves. An effort
will be made to send photograph Of
each burial place to the next of kin in
America. 1t is likely the Red Cross
will place small enamel marker over
each grave as soon as it is registered

my left side, could not sleep at night
with this pain, always In the left
side...
My doctor told me to use Cardui
took one bottle, which helped me and
after my baby came, was stronger
and better, but the pain was still
there.
l at first let it go, but began to get
weak and in a rundown condition,
so l decided to try some more Cardui,
which l did.
This last Cardui which I took made
me much better, in fact, cured me. It
has been number of years, still
have no return of this trouble.
l feel it was Cardui that cured me,
and I recommend 1t as a splendid fe-
male tonic"
Don't allow yourself to become
weak and rundown from womanly
troubles. Take Cardui. It should sure
ly help you, as it has so many thou
sands of other women in the past 10
years. Headache, backache, sideache.

PROHIBITION FIGURES
FURNISHED BY LEAGUE

ATLANTA, Ga, February 16.-The
Georgia Anti-Saloon League, of which
J. A. Christian of this city is superin
tendent, has been called on to furnish
facts and figures showing the effect
of prohibition in Georgia, the same to
be used in the rallies to be held
this spring in more than three hundred
towns in New York state.
This request opens up the way for
a good opportunity to advance the
cause of prohibition by a simple re-
cital of some of the conspicuous facts
concerning the effect of genuine pro-
hibition as Georgia has tried it for the
past twelve months or more.
The Georgia Anti-Saloon League
will take pleasure in telling the 300
New York towns that if they want
to empty their jails, try prohibition;
if they want to clear court dockets
which have been clogged for years,
try prohibition; if they want to abolish
their chaingangs and work houses,
try prohibition; if they want to cut
down crime and misremeanor, try pro-
hibition; if they want to increase tax
able values, try prohibition; if they
want to put more children in the pub
lie schools, try prohibition; if they
want to improve collections by retail
merchants and renting agents, try
prohibition; if they want to stimulate
building operations, try prohibition
All these results and many others
have followed in Georgia as direct
consequence of the abolition of the
sale and shipment of liquor, and it is
reasonable to suppose that the same
results will follow the same proceed
ure in all other communities.

THE ISSUE is PLAIN.

The issue is Joined, now that William
j Harris has definitely entered the
race for the United States Sentae, with
tie hearty approval of President Will
son and the best wishes of the ma
tional administration.
The issue now is:
The Loyal People of Georgia versus
Thomas w Hardwick.
Mr. Harris represents these people.
He represents the loyalty and the
patriotism of his native state.
He stands for fidelity to his govern
ment in time of war.
He typifes what is best known as
standing by the president"
The situation is so clearly defined
that one must vote either for or against
the national administration, either for
or against the president, either for or
against the best interests of Georgia,
either for or against the yindication or
this state in the national councils.
Georgia has been shamed and dis
honored
AS long as Hardwick remains in the
Senate, Georgia must continue to
hang her head and lower her eyes in
wretched humiliation
No wonder that the president, him
self virtually Georgian and in full
sympathy with the state where he mar
ried and in whose soil his first wife
is gov sleeping the eternal sleep-no
wonder that he wrote Mr., Harris, in
accepting his resignation from the
federal trade commission:
80 well do l understand your mo-
tives that I do not feel at liberty to
argue against them"
There will be practically no other
candidates, except Harris and Hard
wick, and so the good citizens of Geor-
STA will have no difficulty whatever in
arriving at choice.
No patriotic voter will hesitate Sec
ond about marking and casting his
ballot.
The several ambitious gentlemen,
with substantially no following, and
with absolutely no hope of election,
who persist in staying in the race,
will not becloud the issue nor compli-
cate the campaign at all.
Neither Shaw, nor Upshaw, nor
Cooper, will be seriously considered
anywhere.
As for Governor Dorsey he has pos
lively announced that he will not run,
and it is understood that he will vote
for Harris.
Hon. Murphy Gambler has also de-
cided, so the understanding goes, not
to run at this time.
These gentlemen are well aware that
IL the present circumstances it would
be aiding and abetting the enemy for
any candidate with a personal follow
ing to enter the race. :,
Any candidate who would divest
Mr.. Harris of any strength at all would
be giving that much comfort and as
sistance to Hardwick.
This fact is so plainly understood
that there is no longer any likelihood
OF the field being further augmented
by responsible candidates..
So great has been the wave of pa
triotic political sentiment that has
been steadily sweeping over the en-
tire state during the last several
months that The TimesRecorder feels
highly gratified at the situation.
No one, in touch with the facts, can
but appreciate the fact that Georgia
is today aroused to a complete sense
of its responsibility, and it is that
feeling that is going to drive from
public and political life all men who
have manifested the slightest symp-
toms of disloyalty 1t is that convic-
ton of conscience, that determination
to assert the loyalty of the state at all
