away, SO sheltered?
But they tell us we are women and
only in the last extremity can they
take us ''out there to be warriors.
They say our place now is back of

us may mold bullets that will send

Over there today they are rejoicing
that we, too, can serve, because they
know that only then when we, too,
meet a real test, can we in honesty
share the victory they will have
bought, perhaps with their lives.

three thousand miles away, and as
the last strains of music die away,
we turn with all too reluctant foot
steps back to our post of service. We
wish we were men and could break
away and fight.
But our hearts tell us-and we know
they tell us true-that our part in this
conflict of nations is no mean thing.
Our beloved warriors are looking to
us TO keep up the strength of this
country. Women in wartime! What
does this mean? 1t means we must

have gone away; we must cheer them
with our willingness to sacrifice. We
must back up their brilliant fighting

Today more than other days they
are thinking of us; they are asking us
to buythem more bullets, more ships,

too rapidly or too much. or Of food
not suited to your digestive organs.
Ii you will eat slowly, masticate your
food thoroughly, eat but little meat
and none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any medicine
whatever. When you have sour
stomach take one of Chamberlain'S
Tablets to aid digestion. adv
