A LINE TO MOTHER.

Mrs. J. Wilcox of Lumberton re
ceived the following the other da!
from her son Sgt. G. w. Thorndyke
Co. C, 18th Eng, in France:
Now here goes line to mother,
The best of all the lot,
With a simple little message,
Just a sweet forget-me-not.
It's sent to her from some one
Sealed with a kiss of love,
To wish her joy and comfort
And blessings from above.
May it find her we'll and happy
AS the morn I went away,
May it make her burden lighter
AS she works from day to day;
May it chase away the wrinkles
From her apt-to-worry brow
And keep that smile a-smiling
Till we've finished up this row.
There's brighter day a-coming
For us and those back home;
There's ships of joy and happiness
To sail us DER the foam.
And sights will be most wonderful
AS loved ones greet each other
Bue none will be so tender
AS when sonny greets his mother.

Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub

Oilcloth Wall Covering-Table
oilcloth is an excellent wall finish
to wainscoat height. Put it on
over the painted wall, using the
width of the oilcloth, which is one
and a half yards wide. Use a
cheap picture molding as finish.
In its place a narrow oilcloth
border might be used. The oil
cloth base can be wiped every
week with damp cloth, and after
five years of wear will look well.

LET HIM LIVE.
~ FC

AS long as flowers their perfume give.
So long I'd let the Kaiser live
Live and live for million years.
With nothing to drink but Belgian tears,
With nothing to quench his awful thirst
But the sailed brine of Scotchman's curse.
I would let him live on a dinner each day,
Served from silver golden tray
Served from things both dainty and sweet
Served with everything but things to eat
And I'd make him bed Of silken sheen,
With costly linens to lie between,
With of down and fllets of lace
And downy pillows piled in place. =
Yet when to it's comfort he would yield
Tt should stink Of the rot of the battlefield
And blood and bones aud brains of men
Should cover him, smoth er him-and then
His pillows should cling with the rotten clay
Clay from the grave Of soldier boy,
And while God stars tn cir vigils keep
And while the waves the white sands sweep
He should never, never, never sleep
And through all the days, through all the years,
There should be anthem in his ears.
Ringing and singing and never DONE
From the edge of light to the set Of sum-
Moaning and moaning and moaning wild
An armless eyeess Belgian child
And would build him a castle by the sea,
As lovely castle as could be;
Then I'd show him ship from over the sea,
As fine ship ever could be,
Laden with water cold and sweet
Laden with everything good to eat
Yet scarce does she touch the svered sands,
Scarce may be reach his eager hands,
Then hot and hellish shell
Should change his heaven into hell:
And though he'd watch on the wave-swept shore.
Our Lusitana should rise
In 'tNo Mans Land where the Irish fell,
I'd start the Kaiser private hell;
I'd lab him, stab him. Give him gas
In every wound I'd pour ground glass
I'd march him out where the brave boys died
Out past the lads they crucfed.
In the fearful gloom of his living tomb
There is one thing I'd do before through
I'd make him sing in stirring manner,

RED CROSS.

| Nearly 200 nurses in the Gull
Division have answered the call
Of the Red Cross.
Reports are still very incom-
Iplete, and it is expected that the
number will be much larger when
several localities have been heard
from.
| While the quota of 1000 nur-
SEES assigned the Gulf division is
| still far from being made up, the
division will have until January
/, 1918 to supply that number.
Enrolment Of nurses being two
weeks ago. The Red Cross has
been asked to have $4,000 nurses
in its service by the first Of next
year. ~
| Louisiana is leading the other
states in the Gulf Division in en-
rolling nurses. although Shrevc-
port has not yet been heard from.
Albania is to supply 361 nurses,
Mississippi PCT and Louisiana 372.
Ia Along with the appeal Of the
Red Cross to nurses to enroll goes
the call to college girls and high
school graduates to enter nurses
training schools and to married
nurses to return to practice.
IF the $4,000 Red Cross nurses
are enrolled it will mean severe
shortage of these workers. Hos
pitfalls already are feeling the need
Of nurses. and it is getting hard
for individuals to obtain the serv-
ices of trained nurses.
Vacancies in hospitals will have
to be filed largely by married
nurses and by others ineligible for
foreign service. In order that
there will be enough student nur-
SEES to assist in the hospitals and
to be ready to deal with the big
reconstruction problems that will
follow the war efforts are being
made to get as many well educated
young women to enter training as |
possible.
