calls for monetary aid that would
be Forthcoming drives for the
sale of Liberty Bonds, Red Cross
memberships, Y. NJ. c. A, knights
of Columbus and Jewish camp funds
and recreation huts, Red Cross con-
tributions and a score of minor re-
liefs-it was the opinion of many
that the people would not respond.
LIT can't be done!' a we'll known
citizen said to me the latter part of
May, 1917.
But it has been done!
Furthermore, the oftener these
campaigns come along the easier it
becomes to get the answer. That is
easily explained. The people of Har-
risburg are absolutely awake. The
first Liberty Loan campaign was the
hardest of the three. The third was
the easiest. The fourth, to use the
street boys expression, will be "a
cinch.'
But we really deserve little credit
for what we have done in the Lib
erty Bond campaigns.
Does a man deserve worldwide
commentator for simply taking
care of his own interests? In buy
ing Liberty Bonds we put our money
away for ourselves. We loaned 1t to
the government, it is true-but we
are the government.
Time to Measure Up
"The second Red Cross campaign
for $10O,000,00O will give all the
people of the United States a Sec
ond opportunity to prove that they
are willing to shoulder some of the
burden of this war. Harrisburg is
asked to give the National Red Cross
not less than $150,00O. My personal
idea is that the total will be nearer
100000.
when we bought Liberty Bonds
we aided the government in it's war
preparations. But when we give to
the Red Cross we ourselves say to
the men of Harrisburg and sur
rounding territory:
You fellows are going across to
fight for us; and we know it! We
folks at home can't all follow you,
although thousands of us will be
with you after awhile. Some of us
are too old, and some of us must
pursue useful occupations, and some
OF us are physically unfit. But all of
us on this side are with you over
therein spirit; and to prove that
we diC VIC IC 6lNlHb our money TO
the Red Cross. And, boys. every
time-over there-that you see the
insignia Of the Red Cross just recall
that the people back home are back
of you, doing everything they can
for you"
Announcement was made to-day
that two of the half hundred Per-
shing veterans, who were sent home
several weeks ago to talk for the
Liberty Loan will be in Harrisburg
to talk for the Red Cross.
The Pershing veterans will address,
a mass meeting to be held in Chest
nut Street Auditorium the night of
May IA.
Another speaker that evening will
be Miss Kathleen Burke, nationally
known Red Cross worker. Miss
Burke is going to tell of what she
encountered in Belgium from August
of 1914 until the Belgians were com
PEELED to evacuate Antwerp. Dur
ing that period, and in the months
that followed, Miss Burke saw MANY
incidents of German atrocities that
have burned themselves into her
memory.

Perfect Health Is Yours
IF the Blood Is Kept Pure

most serious are rheumatism, with
its torturing pains; Catarrh, often a
forerunner of dread consumption;
Scrofula, Eczema, letter, Erysipelas
and other disfiguring skin diseases;
Malaria, which makes the strongest
men helpless, and many other dis

You can easily avoid all of these

Almost Every Human Ailment
Is Directly Traceable to I'm
purities in the Blood.

You cannot overestimate the i'm
portance of keeping the blood free
of impurities. When you realize that
the heart is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body
you can easily see that any impurity
in the blood will cause serious com,
plications.
Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a
source of danger, for every vital
organ of the body depends upon the
blood supply to properly perform it's
functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis

oBITUARY-A. W. PURNToN

Albert w. Purinton was born June
"a, 1843, at Lincoln, Vermont, he be-
/ ing the third child of Asa and Fanny
Purinton- He died very suddenly at
Banner, Kansas, August 6, 1913, at
i the age of rs years, month and 1S
days.
April 5, 1865, Mr. Purinton married
Melissa E. Durfey, at New Haven,
Vermont. To this union seven children
were born, four sons and three daugh-
ters. Charles, Emma and Fay died In
infancy. The surviving children are
Leonard W., of Banner, Mrs. Della
Tuttle, of blackberry, Mrs. Florence
See, of Hill City and Frank L., of
Kansas City.
One brother and three sisters are
living in the east. Mr.. Purinton is the
first one to be called home. Besides
these and the wife, whom he has low
ed and cherished so faithfully for
fifty years, seventeen grandchildren
and four great-grand children are
left to mourn his loss.
Mr.. Purinton is perhaps one of the
best known men in Trego county
which he has served in the capacity
of commissioner and where he has al
ways been active in public affairs
since he first brought his family here
in 1879.
At the age of eighteen years the
deceased gave his heart to the Mas
ter and united with the NJ E. church.
Since that time he has always been a
faithful and loyal worker in the
cause of righteousness and the
church, of Banner, is a splendid mon
urnent to his memory, most of it be-
ing the labor of his own hands.
Grandpa Purinton by his friendly,
jovial nature and sympathetic heart
endeared himself to all who knew
him. The record of his deeds is not
written on tablets of stone but on the
hearts of men and in the Lambs Book
of Life.
Let us not weep because he has so
suddenly departed from US. It was
but the Lords answer to his servant s
prayer. God called and said: Garry
not but hasten," and ~He was not for
God took him" ~s-s'
We mourn not that he has entered
into his eternal peace. His work was
well done, his rest we'll earned. Sure
ly the Master said: ENTER thou into
the joys of thy Lord" No, our hearts
are sad not because he has gone to his
heavenly reward, but that we are left
desolate, deprived of this loving hus-
band, gentle father and faithful
friend. And we loved him so. Xxx

LETTER FROM HOME MEANS

A touching appeal for the home
folks to write letters to the Sammies
is contained in the following words of
Lieut.. John J. Hyde, of the Ninth
infantry, in France. He says:
would like to mention part of
my work since joining this regiment.
1t has fallen to me to censor a consid-
cradle portion of the mail sent from
this station. Naturally 1 know what
the men write about. I know their
thoughts. I know what they want
most However, if / did not read
their letters I would still know by con-
sulting my own feelings the thing
most desired by men and officers of
the A. E. F. and that thing is a letter
you do not know just what it means
to a man in a war ridden country
where the nights are long and the
days gloomy, to get a letter from
"over there" There is sort of per-
sonal touch to it, hand across the
sea- feeling. 1 do not mean a long
faced letter, just few cheerful
lines. When time is hanging heavy,
and you don't know whether to go to
the movies or take an auto ride, just
pick up your pencil and paper and
write. 1t has the same effect as slap
ping a man on the back and saying
Go to it, Bill, I'm with you'll It's sim
ply hell to see the mail come in and
watch with greedy eyes while it is be-
ing passed out and find that you have

LETTER FROM NEUT HoLcomB
Camp Funston, Kansas.

July a, 1918.
| Dear Mother:
This is the fourth and believe me
we have sure enjoyed ourselves. We
stood reveille at 6:45 which is one
hour later than we usually stand it.
Then we did not have to stand re-
treat tonight as it was raining. 1t
rained here most of the afternoon.
Today was visitors day too. The
camp was full of the fair sex. They
sure treat US fine. You don't need an
introduction to girl to know her.
All you need to do is to start con-
versation and they seem to be anxious
to talk with you. If you don't start
one with them first they sure will
start one with you.
We had dance here at the Ne
braska building and we sure enjoyed
ourselves. The Nebraska building is
not as nice as the Kansas building.
The Kansas building is about three
times larger and it looks ever SO
| much nicer. The people of Kansas
sure proved to the soldiers of Camp
Funston that she was a more pros
porous state than Nebraska. Anyone
would say that from the looks of the
buildings. =
=. You should have been here for din
|'ner today. We had everything inn
aginable to eat even to ice cream,
cake, pie and cantaloupes.s We fed
about two hundred visitors here in
our company. just about eleven
o'clock the mess sergeant came to me
and asked me to wait tables. We
walters were on the jump for about
an hour. The visitors said we gave
them the best meal they had ever
eaten. We sure watched them and
saw that no one left the table until
he had all he could eat. The women
said it was a better meal than they
could cook themselves.
1, wrote Mable and told her about
my incubation. My back is o. K. TO-
night and 1 feel fne> My arm hurts
some from the vaccination but will be
well in a few days. You don't need
to worry about me for Uncle Sam will
sure take care of his boys. Received

K. I have already used it. It sure
seems funny to have to keep your
own clothes mended although one gets
used to most everything in the army.
