members of the families or intimate
friends, all standing as the gold star for
Raymond Lee was shown. Before the
pictures were shown a large flag which
had been folded was dropped and stars
containing the addresses of those on the
honor roll were scattered, people gladly
volunteering TO write TO the one whose
address they received. As photos were
shown the explanations of the work of
each one showed the overseas experience
of Rev. William L. Boicourt. Principal
Reimher, who has been doing Y. M. G. A.
work through the summer, was also
shown. At the close the picture of Perry
Aldrich, whose death is confirmed, an
honored teacher whose star is on the flag
Of the Methodist church but whose work
was community wide, and DR.. W. L.
WATSON, whose gallant home service was
an aid in sparing someone for overseas
work was shown. A service of interces-
sion for soldiers and sailors as used by
the American church in Bordeaux was
used and solos were rendered by E. G..
Miller and Miss Mildred Breene. The
audience felt very deeply through the
service, reverently standing while the
photos of Mr.. Aldrich and DR.. Wasson
were shown.

ETY., viii arrest the process of digestion
suddenly. This shows how completely the
nerves control digestion II the blood Is
thin and the nerves are undernourished
your food does not digest, but fer:nents,
and you have sour stomach, with erueta-
lions of gas and feeling of pressure
around the heart. These are common
symptoms of nervous dyspepsia and they
can be corrected, as the following state
ment shows:

The Secretary of War and His
Worst Enemy, Old Red Tape
lFrom the New York SUM

Six or seven weeks ago this news
paper undertook to draw in rough
form articles Of impeachment in the
case Of the most conspicuous enemy
Of the country's cause now operating
In our own territory.
His name is Red Tape. lie is an
American by nativity but pro-German
In an his deeds. He was charged then
with the crime Of high treason, and
rightly. Not al the cash which has
come from Berlin through one ilnan-
cial channel or another, not all the
subterranean activity and diabolcal
ingenuity of the spy and incendiary
establishment left behind by Won
Bernstorns people 10 promote sedi-
tlOn, 10 prevent preparation. 20 destroy
property intended for war use 10 de-
lay action at the front, have done us
One-tenth the damage wrought by this
traitor unalded lie has been slrang-
ling the nations military efficiency
with his cursed girdle Of vermllion.
And the feature OF his case which
would seem positively grotesque IL the
matter were not so serious is that not
one single mark has been paid TO him
ont Of The kaiscrs war chest for his
inesiimable services i'm the Teuton in
tcrest We ourselves are paying Red
Tape from the United states Treasury:
and he is costing Ms hundreds and per-
haps thousands of millions Of our own
money while he does the Kaiser's
work.
Since The general indictment the
Congress and the country have learned
ft. L.
more about the criminal operations of
this public enemy than was ever
known or suspected before. This is
owing primarily to the courage OF
Democratic Senator, Mr. Chamberlain,
OF oregon, and TO the patriotism Of
Democrats and Republicans alike on
The committee Of which he is the
chairman The Federal legislature, ar
ter a searching investigation of Red
Tapes sinister achievements i'm the
War Department, is now discussing
measures for eliminating him from thr
situation The War Cabinet Bill and
the Director Of Munitions bin are pro-
posed on the one hand TO bring about
unity Of action, harmony Of policy and
the proper co-ordla9tion Of effort on
the part OF the half score or dozen
great war bureaus which, as Senator
Hitchcock put it last Monday, are now
running independently and sometimes
running wild on The other hand, an
alternative and very different plan of
dealing with this deadliest Of national
evils is advocated by Secretary Baker
for the War Department.
Mr.. Baker asks Congress 10 keep its
hands away from Red Tapes gullei;
and he has taken on himself the duty
of stranglng the stranger promising
10 accomplish this IN addition to the
daily labors crowding upon
his Office and 10 do 10 without legs-
lative assistance.

uric acid is formed in excess within

which act as a nlter to pass on this
poison. II the excess is not excreted
by the kidneys. It is distributed
through the tissues. The choice sites
for such storage are in the joints. mus

weakest, and where also the alkalinity
OF the blood is lowest. Consequently
we must do everything to throw OF
this uric acid poison, and simple
methods are best. Flush the kidneys
