BLUE BIRDS.

There is a Belgian poet who gave
che song of his nation to the world
before the Teuton boards crushed it
under foot, and that same song car
r1es them on, with high hearts,
beaten but not vanquished. 1t is the
spirit of the people that knows no
defeat, it Is the indomitable courage
that chooses death to dishonor.
Maeterlincks song is the song of
home and it strikes the keynote of
the nations spirit. The family is
the unit of government. and where
there are strong home ties there is
to be found enduring strength.
Maeterlinck is best known to most
of US through ''The Blue Bird" in
which he shows the craving for an
ideal, and the wanderings of two
children in search of the Blue Bird
of Happiness.
After long journe~S they find the
Blue Bird, but it was in their own
hope, to which they returned des-
pondent and worn, to seek comfort
and cheer. 1t was there before they
started, but they didn't know it. and
when they realized, it was with a
keener appreciation than would have
been possible otherwise
America and the Allies know where
the Blue Bird is. They have cher
ished it and now that a robber ma
ton threatens to steal the bird, they
stake their lives to defend it. They
wander into strange lands, not seek
| ing, but defending. and when they
return the Blue Bird will be there,
and with it white one.
Belgium gave up her own, that
others might have theirs, but when
the Hun is gone she too will find
the blue bird of happiness for it
cannot be killed

all last winter, and begin to rub the
painful parts, seeking relief from the
pangs of Rheumatism, which your
own experience has taught you can
only be temporary.
Why not throw away your lini-

rational treatment, which is bound to
get results?
Rheumatism is a disordered condi-

through the blood. And you cannot

which he was unable to attend. He
wrote, however, as follows:
81 am anxious to bear testimony tn
the tremendous part played by the
women of England in this vital
epoch of human history. They have
not only borne their burden Of sor-
row and separation with unflinchins
fortitude and patience but they have
assumed an enormous share OF the
burdens necessary to the practical
conduct of the war.
"If It had not been for the splendid
manner in which the women came
forward to work in the hospitals
and munition factories, in admins
trative offices OF all kinds, and in
war work behind the lines, often IN
daily danger OF their lives. Great
Britain and, believe. all the allies
would have been unable to with
stand the enemy attacks OF the last
few months. For this service to our
common cause humanity owes them
unbounded gratitude.
