THE LITTLE OLD LADY
OF PANSY SQUARE

Timidly she entered the Red Cross
Bureau and stood just within the door
way.
Her poor, dimmed old eyes spoke so
eloquently: I'm friendly, ladies, but
a little afraid"
Several of us rose, but Mrs. Craw-
ford reached her first and asked her
to come In and sit down.
ooh, thank you so much" quavered
the old lady as she sat down. you
see, my boy-my grandson-has gone
and"-with Spartan fortitude she re-
strained the tears that glistened In her
eyes-"gone with his regiment. Now
I'm all alone in my little cottage in
Pansy Square. And, oh, ladies, do any
of you know the dreary loneliness
when there is no one who comes home
at night?"
We almost Rugged the dear old lady,
so forlorn, yet so brave. We drew up
our chairs closer, and she told us her
story.
The little old lady owned a vine
empowered cottage In Pansy Square.
There she kept house for her grand
son, who worked in a downtown office.
When America took up cudgels for de-
mocracy the lad. In patriotic fervor,
was among the first to enlist.
"Ah, how l loved him and needed
him |" whispered the old lady broken.

pension. But it is small. After pay
ing the taxes on my cottage there was
little left, and now it is gone. I'm old,
but I'm willing All ask is a chance
to earn my bread till-tiH he returns"
Through the Home Service workers
of her community the little old lady
of Pansy Square has been provided
with simple tasks, such as making pre-
serves and delicious cakes and jellies,
a labor of love for her and an unfaIl-
ing source of revenue.
Some day, please God, her soldier
boy will come back to the little old
lady of Pansy Square, and he will find
her as he left her-h@ppy, comfortable
and self reliant.

worthy of the great planet we arc now considering was that of the father cf the gods
 Jupiter resembled the sun and Sa- turn in the fact that it is not solid at it's surface It's equatorial regions, like theirs, float somewhat freely over the deeper layers of its body.
 Seasons are absent from Jupiter's year, which is equal to about twelve of ours. The Jovian day is less than ten hours, or about twenty minutes less that the day of Saturn Bodies weigh about two and a half times as much as on the earth and 20 per cent more at the poles than at the equator.
 Jupiter and the poles of Saturn are the only places in the Solar system away from the sun itself where bodies weigh heavier than on earth. There are 10,455 days in the Jovain year. A similar point at the earth's equator moves a little more than a thousand miles per hour. A similar point on Jupiter's equator moves about 26000 miles per hour.
 Jupiter has nine moons. The four largest were discovered by Calico be- ing amongst the very first objects re- vealed by the aid of the telescope. The latest Jovian moon was discovered in 1914 by means of the photoplate, the object being too distant and too small to be seen with the largest telescope

FLYING WILL BE COMMONPLACE
(Scribner's Magazine)

There has grown up since August 1914, an increase so extended in our knowledge of the science of flight. and an improvement so immense in the building of machines and engines, as would make flying a commonplace II peace were declared tomorrow.
 In other words. the peace-time pilot would be provided with a sound" and stable machine which would be equal to varying conditions of wind force, while so many of the things have been attempted in the air with success, from military necessity. that there is now absolutely nothing that could happen, from the flying point of view itself, that is not thoroughly understood and capable of being overcome.
 If we eliminate the gun fire from be- low, the need of aerial combats. the uso of machines so light that they eould~be broken in midafr by.unskill- full handling, and the taking of the maximum risks as regards fogey weather, there is nothing to prevent the pilot from using the air itself as freely as he would the land and even more freely than the sea.

ALASKA MOSS WANTED
 FOR SURGICAL USE

An exchange says: Sphagnum moss, such as obtains in Alaska, is wanted for use in the war hospitals In France and England and an appeal for it has been issued by the botany department of the University of Washington, at Seattle.
 The moss, when dry, will absorb twenty times it's own weight without dripping. an absorbent power much greater than that of cotton. In pre- paring the material for hospital use, pads six inches square are made and sterilized for use as dressings fol wounds. These moss dressings are very useful for bad burns and as sp'int pads for fractures. N
 The Puget Sound region az L.AtAska seems 0 Ee the only parts of the United States that can supply the moss iIi great quantities ard the Puget Sound supply is so much more available that 1t will be drawn upon first. The moss is found in and around cranberry marshes, and in very wet places in the forests, The material desired is the young leafy stems commonly seen around the bor- ters of cranberry marshes and some

 Not long ago a man came to me whe was nearly half a century old and asked mo to give him a preliminary examination for life insurance. was aztonished to find him with the blood pressure of boy of twenty and as full of vtgor, vim and vitality as a young man; in fact young man he really was notwithstanding his age. The secret. he said, was taking iron Nuxated Iron had filled him with re- newed life. At thirty he was ia had health: a. forty-six be was care worn and nearly all h.

Iron Is absolute. ly necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue Without 1t no matter how much passes through you without doing you any good. and as a con- sequence you become weak, pale and sicltly looking, just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If you gre not strong or we'll, you owe 1t to yourself to make the following test: See how iolg you can work or how far you can walk without be- coming tired. Next take two Ave-
 grain tablets of ordinary nux- ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and SEC how much you have gained. 1 have seen dozens of nervous, run,down people who were ailng all the while double their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia, liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days time simply by taking iron In the proper form. And this, after they had in some cases been doctorins for months with out obtaining any beneiit.

 durancs will find it
 most remarkable and wonderful et- fectice remedy.
 pr. H. B. Vail, formerly Physician In the Baltimore Hospital, and a Med ical Examiner. says: Throughout my experience on Hospital staffs and as Medical Examiner, have been aston ished at the number of patients who have vainly doctored for various dis cases when in reality the deli cate, rundown state was simply the result of lack of iron in the blood Time and again .have prescribed or ganic iron-Nuxated Iron--and sur prised patients at the rapidity with which the weakness and general de- btlity were replaced by a renewed feel ing of strength and vitality. I took Nuxated Iron my self to build me up after & serious case of nervous eX- haustion. The effects were apparent after a few days and within three weeks it had virtually revitalized my whole system and put me in a superb physical condition"
 NOTE--Nuxated Iron. which is pre- scribed and recommended above by physicians in such great variety of caaes, is not patent medicine nor secret remedy. but one which is we'll known to druggists and whose iron constituents are widely prescribed by eminent physicians both In Europe and in America. Unlike the older in- organic iron products, it is easily as- silnilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach: on the contrary. it is Q most potent remedy in nearly all forms of indigestion as we'll as for nervous. rundown conditions. The manufacturers have such great conf- dence in nuxated iron, that they offer to forfeit s10o.oo to any charitable in- sti:ution if they canaot take any man or woman undsr 60 who lacks iron, and increase their strength 100 per cent or over in four weeks time, pro- Uded they have no serious organic 1 trouble.
