GRATEFUL SOLDIER
Writes Letter Of Thanks For Sweater
Made and Sent by Mays.
vile Girl.

One of the young ladies, interested
here in Red Cross work, received the
following grateful letter of thanks
for sweater she had knitted:
Fl. Meyers, Va, June Is, 1918.
Dear Miss
A few lines to thank you a thous-
and times for the sweater and only
wish every grille would do as much
for at least one soldier as you have
done for me, and to think that you
have never seen me.
1t sure puts fighting blood in me to
go and fight for girl that thinks of
the comfort of soldier and II every
girl did that think 1t would not take
long to give the Kaiser his medicine
Would be pleased to my very toes if
you were to knit me socks as we will
need them over there.
Well word to say that they are
sure drilling the life out of us so as
to be fit for the service over there and
we are sure doing our share so as
to get there. Do you know any one
from st. Louis, If so mention their
names as I know quite few people
there. Guess I must close now as I
must get out for drill, hoping the
good Lord will bless you for the
good you have done for one of your
country's men.
/ am sincerely your soldier,
MONROE.

, the country, and your summer good
time all around to work and to live,
day In and day out, as factory girl
for-the sake Of your country?
Perhaps you think you wouldn't like
such program, Madame. Perhaps
you think the notion ridiculous and
fantastic that you should come to such
things voluntarily, as matter of
choice. But you are wrong. The
women of England are doing these
things and plenty of others Of the
same kind, and they do them with a
readiness and quiet deception of
sacrifice that has made them the uni
versal rule of daily life.
Sacrifice is the spirit of England
today. If such a trivial word can be
pardoned-it is the fashion. The wo-
men of England are the source and
the force of it. Before the worlds
great struggle for freedom can be won
it must become the spirit of Ameri-
ca as we'll.
Nothing in Britain strikes the Wis
itor so sharply as the workaday de-
tails of altered life in the homes and
the streets. Nothing speaks so elo-
quently of the serene height of moral
courage she has reached as the noble
service her women are rendering.
They are fighting the war in the kitch-
en-, in the market, in the shop-right
up to the firing line. Americans have
yet to learn what 1t means to give up
pleasure, luxury, leisure, and personal
interests and to sink them all in the
one great cause.
You see no spring fancies worn by
English women. You see no mourn
ing, either. But you see uniforms ev-
erywhere, You see no pleasure cars
or Joy rides, but you see women driv-
ing trucks and loading sacks of -four.
You see no gay parties and no dainty
menus, but you see the folk who used
to demand them doing the work of
laborers and eating the simplest and
scantiest fare. You see no idling or
show or indulgence, but you see girls
in plain khaki and unlovely leather
hats-thousands and thousands of
them-doing the work of men every
where.
And not for novelty or amusement,
please note; not for advertising or to
get their pictures in the papers; but
with composed and often grim and
tired faces, one day after another,
without complaint and without dis
couragement.
There is no law or compulsion
about the burdens these women have
taken on themselves. Simply, they
have learned the lesson of the war.
Sugar, meat, fat are fighting poten-
tials. Wool, coal, gasoline, are fight
ing power. Every unnecessary ar
ticle dispensed with is so much labor
and money saved. Every useless trade
abolished is so much brain and mus
Gle conserved. Every job taken over
means another fighter for the front.
And the women are attending to these
things themselves by tacit and unani-
nous agreement, willingly, devotedly.
They know that the war can only be
won in the last test by the nationa at
home. They are the nation at home
and they are going to win it by sacri-
flee, by sacrifice, and again and ulti-
mately-by sacrifice.

The new CALONEL fine
FOR COLDS and GRIPPE
Calotabs, the New Nausealess Gallo
mel, Breaks Up a Severe
Cold Overnight.

Physicians and druggists are elat-
ed over the fact that they have at
last found a genuine and dependable
remedy for colds, sore throat, influ-
enza and la grippe. For years they
have depended chilly upon the old
style calomel, which is certainly fine.
but unfortunately many people would
not take it because of its nauseating
and dangerous qualities.
Now that the pharmaceutical chem
lists have perfected a nausealess Gallo
mel, called "Calotabs." whose medici-
nal virtues are vastly improved, the
doctors and druggists are claiming
that Calotabs are the ideal remedy
to abort cold over night and cut
short an attack of sore throat or la
grippe. They are also finding it most
effective as the first step in the treat
ment of pneumonia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed
time with a swallow of water-that's
all. No salts. no nausea nor the
slightest interference with your eat
ing or your work and pleasure. The
next morning your cold has vanish
ed and your whole system is purified
and refreshed. Calotabs are sold onlv

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
Sage Tea and Sulphur Darkens
So Naturally that No
body can tell.

Hair that loses its color and lustre,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade Of hair which Is so at
tractive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF other
ingredients by asking at any drug
store for a bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly,
that nobody can possibly tell II has
been applied. You just dampen a
sponge or soft brush with It and draw
this through your hair, taking one
small strand at time. BY morning
the gray hair disappears; but what
delights the ladies with Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, 1t also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives 1t
an appearance of abundance.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is delightful toilet requisite
to impart color and a youthful APP
pearance to the hair. It is not in

vention of disease.
