a remedy that has done me good it is
Ironized Paw-Paw 1 was afflicted
with stomach troubles, sluggish liver
ana nervousness. Reading in the
newspapers the good you were doing
decided to give it trial as I could
get no relief; and since your remedy
was not "cure-all," but compound
ed for just such troubles as 1 was
suffering from, 1 gave it a most thor
ough test, taking it strictly accord
Ing to directions. The result has
been very gratifying. 1 feel now full
or energy; my liver is acting quite
normal and my stomach feels like
new-all the nervous feeling has left
me. and l can honestly say that
lronized Paw-Paw does all you saw il
will. certainly will always have
some at home as it is good for old
and young alike"

spreads the news to his friends of
this dependable tonic which makes
old stomachs almost as good as new.
and so the wave Of health goes on
and on. People who have been
troubled for years with sleeplessness
say that since taking Ironized Paw
Paw they can sleep all night and get
up feeling strong and refreshed. II
you need tonic, if you need strength
and good cheer, try a bottle of Iron

as Mr. Frank Thomas.
Your druggist possibly keeps it..

We are the knitting women; weaving swift
Our webs of olive drab and navy gray
We are the women, keeping thought away
BY this new work of love, this eager gift
Through which men, facing the bitter fight
Under the stars of far and foreign lands,
Shall know that still million womens hands
Uphold them in the darkness and the night.
We are the knitting women, knitting fast
A web OF love; our million hearts sent
AS one, with eV'ry marching regiment,
Loves own democracy is come at last.
High over stricken France the black smoke towers:
Beneath it, in the hurry and the noise
Are eastern, western northern, southern, bows
No longer yours or mne,--forever ours!
We are the knitting women; weaving strong
A web of prayer; our eyes with tears are dim,
But, wife or mother, shall search for him
Across the seas, morning and even-song.

The Great Neighbor
By JOSEPHUS DANIELS
Secretary Of the Navy.

The Red Cross recognizes neither party, nor
race, nor creed. 1t is worldwide in scope
and humane in purpose. 1t has no political
nor economic ends to serve. 1t only asks
where it can be helpful to men and women
in distress-affiicted by disease, overtaken
by some sudden disaster or caught in the
ordeal of war. There it finds its place and
opportunity. There it springs to serve man
kind.
The Red Cross is the Great Neighbor,
it treats every man as brother, and asks
no return. If the world of toiling people is

The law provides that every single

more and every married man with an
income Of $4,000 or more, must make
