The Maker OF Bandages
Red Cross Workers Solve in One Minute the
Mystery of the Stony Hearted
Mrs. Britt. E@5SsE=s&S

wore. Every half hour she would stop
her work to look atit. Sometimes, her
face wistful, she would show 1t to the
other workers, vOiCing the anguish that
with every waking breath she drew
twanged holloway in her mothers heart.
One afternoon Mrs. Farlows oldest
daughter came hurrying in. Her face
was white. She had just learned that

Mrs. Farlow rose, her face tragic

she collapsed. sinking to the floor. In
her fall she overturned huge pile OF
antlseptic gauze just torn into squares
for Triangulars No. 13.'
The room instantly was in cOnfu
sion. Instantly every one sprang to
the mothers aid-that Is, every one
but Mrs. Britt. She rose and rescued
the bandages under foot. Then, hei
face hard as nails, grimly Mrs Britt
went back to her work. When Mrs.
Farlow. still stricken, was led away to
her car outside the drab figure In the

For days nothing was seen at the

afternoon, pallid and quivering, she
came in at the door. She smiled visit

plaintively. "Work may help me not

Her Bandages Worthless.
She took bandage and tried to
sew. She made poor work of II, how
ever. Then her head sank on her
breast and the bandage slipped from
her hands. 81 can't--oh, can'tr she
wept.
Once more she was led away.
The same thing happened three or
four days later. A week later the
mother wandered In again. BY now

BOYS BEHIND THE FIGHTERS.

In the United War Work campaign
which will begin November 18th to raise
$40, 100000, an effort will be made to en-
list the boys all over the nation, each boy
to pledge himself to earn and give q sum to
back up fighter on the firing line. This
proposed army of "a million boys behind a
million fighters" is to be known as "Victory
Boys" Rev T. NJ. Galloway, Scout master,
is behind this movement in Terrell county,
and with the fine young fellows enrolled as
Boy Scouts in the community to help push
it along great results are expected. The
idea is sure to appeal to all the red-blooded
boys and the lessons they will learn in
thrift and industry to say nothing of the high
and noble impulses will help nightly in the
development of good citizens.

WOMEN STANDING TRUE

The women of Carrollton do not serve re-
freshments at their various meetings, and
the money saved will go to the support of
French orphans. One of the most hopeful
signs of the times is the fact that the Amer
lean people, from one end of this great
country to the other, are getting into the
real spirit of the war. Some day, when the
full story of the great conflict can be given,
the women of the United States will thrill
with the thought that they, too were in tire
fight, standing true where their government
most needed their aid, gathering up the
fragments that nothing be LOST in the vital
ly important matter of sharing our food
with the nations oiled white" by privations
in the mighty task of holding back the Ger
man hordes. To put back the bloom into
the famished cheeks of little children, and
the sparkle into eyes from which bereave-
ment and want have wrung bitter tears is
JOY supreme.
This is one of the beautiful and satisfying
opportunities for the women to help cancel
our own great country's debt of gratitude
to la belle France, where hover the spirits
of Lafayette and other patriots who held
out strong hands to our young nation strug-
Cling in her swaddling clothes.

WORTH THIKING ABOUT.

A Dawson business man who is also a
farmer wonders why it is that we go on in
the same old way making obligations due
on October 1st, and dumping the fall har-
vests on one end of the scales all in lump,
which, naturally, bears down the market
value. Bankers and men of large business
interests have for years pursued this course
without so much as suggesting a remedy for
this Cutting of the market.
This merchant-farmer thinks if notes and
obligations of all kinds could be made due
on dates properly distributed the producer,
by marketing slowly, could have much to do
with controlling the price of what he has
to offer. 1t would be especially beneficial
to the small farmers who are usually fore
ed to sell cotton by October 1st. The mills
cannot justly be censured for buying as
cheap as possible. The problem has got to
be worked out at this end of the line If
the bankers and farmers will cooperate so
that the farmer can hold his products for
the right prices it will go long way to-
wards bringing about a condition of mutual
heDpfif

Spanish Influenza.

The epidemic which bears the name Span
ISM influenza was brought to this country
by passengers on a transatlantic steamer
arriving in New York These patients be-
gan to arrive some months ago, and since
that time the health officer of the port has
kept in close touch with the situation. Some
OF the cases which attracted the most at
tention occurred on the Norwegian liner
Bergensfjord, which arrived in New York
after having had more than 200 cases of
sickness and four death during the voyage
Eleven sick passengers were transferred i'm
medlately to the Norwegian hospital in
Brooklyn, and the clinical history of those
cases was observed by Dr. Edward E. Corn
wall
The history of these cases. including as
1t does the blood count and meteorological
studies, indicates that these particular cas-
es, at least did not differ materially from
the classical influenza already we'll known
IN this country. In letter DIR. Fernandez
Ybarra, who has recently returned from a
nine months stay in Spain. where he had
an opportunity to observe the epidemic in
Madrid agrees that the disease does not
differ materially from the grippe or epidemic
bronchitis.

Federal Government Does Not
Respect State Prohibition Law
From the Dalton Citizen.

The epidemic of influenza covering the
country has produced a rather peculiar sit
uation with reference to the prohibition
question. There are many doctors who have
not yet been swept off their feet by prohi-
billion tyrantS, and who vet recommend the
old-fashloned remedy in the treatment of
colds, grippe and influenza. It is very evil
dent that the government considers this
treatment as very important and necessary,
as whisky has been shipped in great uuanti-
ties to the army environments, regardless of
whether they are located in "wet' or "dry''
states.
We firmly believe there is no sentiment
to amount to anything in favor of open sa-
looms and other tipping places, but to saw
that man or woman must not use whisky
as medicine or have it on his or her prem
ises for personal use is a hypocritical alb
surdlty In a democracy. We know of in
stances where much suffering has resulted
! because it was impossible to secure a medi-
cine in the form of whisky prescribed by
physicians. We refer to cases of invalided
old people,
Of course there are many who deny the
therapeutic value of alcohol, and in the face
of their contention they are confronted with
the fact that nearly all medicine in LIQUID
! form contains alcohol in varying strength
from ten to fifty per cent. The influenza has
been most severe in the army environments,
and in every camp where it has prevailed
LIE government mas Suppned whisky. But
in bone-dry states the civilian population is
! denied whisky even as a medicine
We quote as follows from the New York
World:
Reports of the use of whisky in treating
Spanish influenza in army environments sit
uated in dry states have a special interest
in their relation to methods of combating
the epidemic and their bearing on prohibi-
ton sentiment. In Camp Dodge, Ia, hun
dreds of cases of confscated liquor have
been utilized to give patients alcoholic baths,
and also as stimulant. In Tennessee a sim
liar use of condemned whisky has been au-
thoriZed by the courts. Two carloads of
liquor have been shipped into Camp Lee in
Virginia, and there are accounts of like
lifting of the ban in louisiana South Car
DINA is said to have authorized drug stores
to sell whisky on physicians prescriptions
for medicinal use in influenza. and the plan
has been proposed in Georgia"
Thus the moot question of the medicinal
efficacy of alcohol in diseases of the grippe
type has become complicated with the ethi-
cal question of its use in prohibition terri
tory and under conditions involving a SEEM
ing notification of state laws by federal
procedure.

Future BOND ISSUES.

In statement reviewing the fourth bond
issue Mr., McAdoo, the secretary of the
treasury, declared that termination of the
war will not end bond issues The war end
ed, he said, more than two million men and
vast quantities of material must be return
ed to this country. This would entail an ex-
penditure of $4,000, 100000.
But the war is not ended 1t is costing
at the rate of $4,000, 900 900 a year. Con-
gress has appropriated $37, 100000, 900 for
this year. The bills contracted will have to
be paid, and cannot be paid except by bond
issues. Bonds must be taken by the people
after the war ends, and until every bill con-
tracted has been paid.
Furthermore, should the war last another
year the total expenditures of the nation
may approximate $75,O0O,OOO, 900. This
immense sum greatly exceeds the annual in
come of the nation. 1t can be raised only
through the credit of individual citizens. If
credit is not voluntarily offered it will have
to be forced by legal provisions. Congress
does not want to resort to such measures
but only through bonds can money be secu1-
ed for the government.

BELSHAZZAR AND BILL.

The application of words of holy writ to
conditions of men and nations in all times
is one of the profound mysteries of that in
spired volume. The words which Daniel, the
Hebrew captive, deciphered on the walls of
Belshazzars banquet hall, with the excep-
ton of the nations among which the victim S
kingdom was to be divided apply with as
much power to Germany today as they did
to the Bacchanalian debauchee who had
succeeded his insane father on the throne
of Babylon.
The disasters were included in the fate
which the invisible hand penned on the walls
of the Babylonian royal orgy.
God hath numbered thy kingdom
and finished it."
'Thou art weighed in the balances
and art found wanting"
"Thy kingdom is divided and given
to the Modes and Persians."
Never in all history has the appro
of Omnipotence, as expressed through the
highest ideals of man, been so emphatically
pronounced upon the destruction of a ma.
ton and its rulers as upon Germany. Not
even did the overthrow of the enemies OF
the chosen race of God touch the cause OF
mans expressed uplift towards God as does
the overthrow of German kultur in this war
No wonder, then, that out of the recorded
overthrow of un-Godly nations and rulers
should come prototype of the fate and Ill
innate destiny Of the German nation anC
its rulers. That nation has been numbered
and finished. It's ruler has been weighed
in the balance, and has been found wanting
How apt the parallel!

Mother Mine.

Pallid cheeks that once were fair,
Raven locks grown whittier now,
Sixty years of wrinkled care
Trace their burrows on thy brow.
Step infirm that once was light,
Laugh once gay, smile divine,
Eyes grown dim that once were bright
Thus l see thee, mother mine.
Oh, the memories love can hold,
Lingering fancies of the heart!
Lovely as thou vast of old,
More l love thee as thou art.
Thine has been the checkered round,
Sun and shade of changeful day;
Blooming roses thou hast found,
Thou has seen them fade away.
Thine has been the crimson dawn,

Mingling winters snow with June
Yet, not DER wilderness
Falls the light of days decline

Have Never Lived in a House.
Indiana Family, Defying the Severest
of Winters, Don't Worry About Coal.
By 0. c. Pollard.

Arthur Bragg and his thriving family, of
Kokomo, Ind, believe in fresh air to the
limit and have never lived in a house. Even
during last winter, which was unusually Sc
we're. they lived in tent on plot of ground
owned by Bragg. Even during the bitterest
days of winter a small oil stove keeps the
tent warm and comfortable. Bragg does not
worry over fuel embargoes. He says his
wife once lived in house for six weeks as
an experiment, but at the end of that time
she revolted against the confinement and
the old tent was set up again. AS a mat
ter of ornament he says he intends to build
a house on his lot for the looks of the
thing, adding:
u have no assurance that Mrs Bragg
and the children will consent to live in the
structure after l have it completed. But
one thing is certain, l can erect the tent
on the corner of the lot and if they prefer
to dwell therein l shall interpose no OBJ
