SOLDIER DESCRIBES
Y. NJ. c. A. ACTIVITIES
George J. Barbara. Washington Boy
Commends Overseas Work.

A vivid picture of what the Y. NJ.
c. A. is doing for the American boys
in France is contained in q letter
from Private George ]. Barbara. a
Washington boy, to friends in this
city.
The majority of the letters received
here from soldiers make some men
ton of the associations work for the
men abroad. Private Barbee writes:
Most of the evenings here we
spend in the Y. NJ. c. A. huts.
wish you could have heard the sing
ers that furnished the entertainment
the other night. I have never heard
a better program of music.
I'VE also were favored with a few
recitations by G. H. Sothern, and
piano solos by an artist whose name
did not get-and then we saw the
movies and pictures OF the good old
U. S.stA, Maybe the boys didn't do
some cheering when they saw a
familiar spot, and then you ought to
have seen the smiles and heard the
laughter when some little love scene
was flashed upon the screen. The
show was great!
I'VE have something like this every
night with boxing matches and
basketball games now and then. You
would be surprised at the talent we
find among the boys here. We have
musicians. acrobats, pugilists. comedi-
ans, magicians, card sharps-real
good ones too-also some who think
they are good, but the latter class
pull their little stunts Just once and
often make very hasty exits through
the stage door.
Seriously speaking, though. the
people at home never will know the
wonderful work the Y. NJ. c. A. Is
doing here until the boys are able
to come home and tell about 1t. 1t is
simply wonderful and thousands of
the boys are given the means to
spend real enjoyable evenings that
would be mighty long and blue were
it not for the good work OF this or
ganiZation."

, Of ten, which is one reason why so
many people think them incurable
The real source of the trouble is
overlooked.
Whenever you see a person with
clear, ruddy complexion, with a
healthy skin entirely free from pim-
Piles or blotches, you may be sure
that their blood is free of all i'm
purities.
Diseases of the skin. therefore,
come from a germ which is in the
blood. You must remember that the
skin is fed by the blood, and these
disease germs find some weak point
on the surface Of your skin where
they multiply and set UP their local
habitation. This takes on the form
Of irritation, pimples. scaly rough
ness, redness, sometimes sores, each
Of which has some medical term un-
der the classification Of skin dis
eases.
The itching and burning and irri-
tation produce so much discomfort
and suffering that you are willing
to resort to anything for relief.
But the salves and ointments and
washes and lotions that you use are
only temporary in their relief. and
you never yet know of a case being
cured by them.
Why? Just as explained above.
The source OF the trouble must be
reached. The eczema, scrofula. tet-
ter. pimples. blotchy irritated skin

The Washington herald., 1918-03-14

On the lips Of those afflicted with
skin disease Is the eternal question:
How can find relief from Itch
ing and burning and fiery irritation
that keeps me in such contAnt tor
tureT
This pitiful appeal will continue
to come from those who have been
misled into the entirely erroneous
method of using treatment that is
at best only palliative and can have
no curative effect because It does
not reach the source of the trouble.
In severe cases where a person is
suffering intense pain that Is un-
bearable. physicians find It neees-
sary to administer an oplate to give
temporary relief. They, do not,
however, expect to cure the pain in
this way, but seek at once to locate
its cause and direct their treatment
at its source.
A fire may start in the basement
of q house. and the flames break
out through the roof. Water thrown
on the roof will not extinsuish the
fire. but the intelligent fireman will
locate the source of the fire and
soon put 1t out.
Just so with disease, The intelli-
gent physician will tell you that the
place to stop any disease is where
1t starts. Find the location Of its
origin. of its starting point, then
you can apply treatment that will
get results.

WIN.THE.WAR DAY
Invited to Cooperate by Committee
of Patriotic Societies.

George Washington University
has been asked by the National
Committee of Patriotic Societies to
cooperate in the celebration of
National Win-the-war Day" April
s. University officials now have
under consideration the manner in
which the Institution will Coop
crate.
The appeal to the university fol-
lows:
"At the beginning of our second
year in the great war 1t is fitting
that we have q national consecra-
tion to the task remaining before
US. Because OF numerous workless
days during the past winter it is
not advisable that the occasion
should be made a holiday, but in ev-
cry factory. store, mine, school,> and
on every farm there should be q
brief period during which everyone
who is loyal to the flag should
stand up and be counted. Flags
should everywhere be unfurled.
AT noon factory whistles and
church bells should send forth a
volume of sound that will reach
Berlin. Every band in the country
then will play The Star spanEled
Banner" while people stand at at
tention. In the evening in the
churches, halls and theaters the
people may gather for meetings OF
inspiration. Regiments OF the ma
tional army may parade in cities
near the cantonments.
I'm every village there should be
special patriotic exercises at which
messages from students and alumni
in the nations service may be read"
If George Washington University
decides to hold a celebration. II
probably will be in the nature of a
general assembly, open to the
public.
