THE FLAG IN THE WINDOW

am lying out here in the mud and
the rain
In a trench with damp, earthly
smell,
Somewhere in Francer-the particu-
lar place
The censor forbids me TO tell
But 1 think of a little brown cottage
that stands
In a village far over the sea,
Where between the white curtains of
muslin and lace
There's flag in the window for me.
But I'm weary of bullets and dugouts
and stew
And gases and dead men and dirt
And famished for sleep. / just natur-
ally feel
There is nothing to do but desert
And leave Uncle Sam to get out of
the scrap
The best way he can, but, oh, gee!
] can't when think of that tiny brown
house
With the flag in the window for me.
There's a single blue star on the en-
blem-some day
The blue may be changed into gold.
The people in passing say:-"Billy has
gone
To France as a soldier boy bold
A bad egg was Bill; he was shiftless
and wild;
With other folks money too free,
But we're proud of him now" and so
that's what il means,
That flag in the window, to me.
When we charge on the Boche through
the mire and the wire
At dawn I'll go over the top
BY the light of that star and sling
steel like a fiend
And fight to the finish or drop.
1t is more than a war cross, all shiny
and new,
Or the best little medal could be,
To know that away in the old U. S. A.
There's flag in the window for me.

CHATTER REMINDS OF SURF
Diner Wakes Poetic in Describing His
Impressions of Ordinary Res
taurant Cable.

'In the big and busy restaurant
where I dine" said Mr.. Flickerton, 81
am reminded constantly of the surf
that breaks along stretch of ocean
shore; not the heavy, smashing,
pounding that comes when the rollers
are storm driven, but the gentler ris-
ing and falling, more nearly droning,
sound of the surf in fair weather; the
restaurant surf, of course, being the
sound that arises from the combina-
ton of the voices of many people
briskly talking.
'The likeness of this sound to surf
might not strike you until there came
q general lull In the hum of conversa-
ton.
"On the shore the surf seems to
break continually, endlessly; it is al
ways curling and tumbling, seemingly
incessantly; but as a matter of fact
there comes now and then a time when
by mere chance no wave breaks within
immediate hearing, when the sound of
the surf dies down; and 1t is precisely
like that with the table surf in a
restaurant.
There are times In the restaurant
when, by the merest chance in the
world, everybody, or almost every
body, stops talking at the same time,
when the vocal surf dies away almost
completely, and the restaurant is prae-
tically still, as the shore is when the
waves cease TO break.
Like the surf. it always seems to
me. Did it ever strike you that way?"

WHAT ARE YOU DOING ABOUT 1T?


If list were made of all those in
Europe who have died in action and
another of those who have died from
starvation. the latter would be the
longer.
Think of it! 100000 more have died
from famine than have died on the bat
tie field. The total number of those
who have been killed in fighting is
4,250,000. The total number of those
who have died from starvation is
4,75O,000
Can we grasp the tragedy in these
figures?
Over four and half millions of old
men and women, young mothers, girls
and boys and babies. have been sacri-
feed to the War-God without even the
privilege of leaving behind the hon
ored memory of those who die in glor-
ious service on the battlefield. They
have died in silent anguish, unknown
and unsung.
Perhaps the memory of their deaths
would not forever fill us with horror
if we could convince ourselves that
tubSt WIN nave uicu HUN SJdENdllOn
have not died in vain, that by their
sacrifice they have pushed the Allies
a little nearer victory. The loss of
these lives will have been appallingly
useless unless their deaths shall serve
as a spud for us to redouble our efforts
in food conservation and save the re-
naming millions in Europe who turn
to us each day, pleading Give us this
day our daily bread"

gift of feeling grateful for things that

mighty little Hamburger steak in

SPANISH INFLUENZA

The appalling ravages of Spanish 1nflu-
enza in this country are perhaps best real
lied by the statement recently made, that
more deaths have resulted in little more
than a month from this disease than
through our whole eighteen months par
ticipation in the battles of the European
War.
Our greatest danger now. declare au-
thorties, is the great American tendency
to forget easily and to believe the peril is
over. Competent authorities claim the
coming of cold weather Is very apt to
bring a return Of this disease and there
should be no let-up throughout the winter
months of the following easily observed
precautions. remembering that Influenza
is far easier to prevent than cure.
Influenza is a crowd disease. Avoid
crowds as much as possible. Influenza
germs spread when ignorant or careless
persons sneeze or cough without using a
handkerchief. Cover up each cough or
sneeze. Do not spit on the floor. side:

the use of common drinking cups snd
roller towels in pubic places. Breathe
some reliable germicidal and antiseptic air
to destroy the germs that do find lodge
ment in your nose and throat.
Remember, no safer precaution against
Influenza could be employed in this man.

By destroying germs before they actu-
