"OUR BOYS" SMILE AS
THEY CONTO BATTLE

Over 5000 American trucks. all
heavily laden. have passed our front
door in this last big drive. Every man
in charge came in for rest and refresh
ment and n little chat with one of his
native tongue, then with the smile of
the soldiers and wave of the hand in
farewell, "GOod-by until we meet
again."
After every battle and at intervals
we see "Our boys" coming back.
Blood soaked. weary. but oh! how
brave. "our boys" with bayOnet and
shell wounds will tell you quickly and
firmly. II am all o. r." Il can walt"
Look after Jim there" or Look after
this lad; he's gassed." The pity and
the brutality of that horrible gas!
Get Best Of Care.
Every American father and mother
can rest In full assurance that IL their
boy comes in anywhere along the line

efficient care is given to him immedi-
ately.
"Our boys" of course, come first.

love of Christ. we never say or do

A splendid general came In the 9th

were white with dust and his face
black for want of shave. The can

busy days. The general wanted to
shave and wash up before eating. and
the only spot vacant and available was
the small private dressing room used
exclusively by we American women.
We excluded all the women, put the
general in our private dressing room.
with hot and cold water. and on the
outside of the door we wrote a note
and pinned 1t up. reading:
"BEWARE-Girls stay out. The gen.
eral is shaving"
When our guest finished and came
out he saw the sign, and doubtless
read 1t with amusement, because he
wrote just below 1t, as follows:
"Girls, your guest has finished. Many
thanks to Gods greatest gift to man-
an American woman"
And then he signed his name. and
that is one of our choice souvenirs.

Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach

feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and

stomach ills that make life mis-

the hot weather.

Here is what Miss Kathryn says:

Of life and the grandest. Oh! how
brave and splendid they are. with a
smile on their lips. 'Good-by." 1--WE
will see you soon again."
We feed from four to five Thousand
some days. Our canteen is always
crowded.
OF course that compliment is our
greatest reward. We all try and want
to do for "our boys" the very best.
They come and go ut all hours OF the
day and night. Our Red Cross cnn-
teen Is never closed. All of "Our boys"
on this line Of communication stop and
rest and have their meals and refresh
ments at this Red Cross canteen.
Want to Push on.
We always know. among the very
first. when n big drive is on, and then
we never seem to sleep. Nobody wants
to. "Our boys" don't even care to stop
long and rest; they want to push on.

that If he fails to get there on time

"TO our women, who sent us forth
with courage in their hearts and tears

their own lives that we may live.

that does not respect them and the
coward that does not protect them"

pressed, and no woman was ever more
thoughtfully considered and protected
than we of the American Red Cross
