washing of bed linen as had been done
had been done in cold water, and as
IT came back Florence Nightingale

The doctors and officers objected to
her. Books written ut the time by
the men who helped to officer the Cri
mean army show with what scorn they
met her. p. r
p Little by little she got her stores to-
gether until she became the feeder. and
clOther Of the army ut Scutari. She
provided $4,000 men with shirts and
great numbers with other clothing ;
she provided all the things that were
missing from the hospitals. II have
met only two men in the Crimea, and
one Of them was Miss Nightingale" sold
a traveller.
She worked 20 hours day. She re-
celved the wounded. she dressed their
wounds until the surgeons could take
them in hand. She washed and
clothed and comforted them. She sat
with them, encouraging them before
an operation. She gave them life and
hope. She made them feel that
mercy had come Oh angel wings into
their bitter lives.
Drunken Orderlfes Vanished.
Her nurses were here. there and
erywhere-whereve the doctors
would allow her to send them. The
rough, drunken, unlSilled orderlies
vanished from the nursing and skilled
and tender hands took their places.
Florence Nightingale herself was the
Lady of the Lamp.
When the long days work was done
she would go to her little stuffy room
to begin her correspondence; then,
after time, when the surgeons had
retired and the wards and corridors
were dark, she would take her little
lamp and steal quietly through the
silent rooms among the sick and dy-
ing men. She would kneel by bed
Hr1er Dcu 10 Spcuk u NoIu VI Suiuioit 4,
she would give medicine here, food or
drink there.
No wonder the men worshiped h.r.
though Mt first they were little afraid
and shy. "Never be ashamed Of your
wounds, my friend" she would say in
her gentle, musical voice. Her gen
tleness made poets Of some Of these
rough men.
There was giant Highlander who
wrote home of her and her work /:
"What comfort II was 20 see her
even passl She would speak to one
and nod to another. but she could not
do It to all, you know-we were lying
there by hundreds-but we could kiss
her shadow as II fell, and lay our
heads on the pillow again, content"
1t was beautiful idea, and this
soldiers letter travelled round the
world. Longfellow used 1t In his poem
on "The Lady of the Lamp" 20
she stayed the winter ut Scutari
and made revolution. Whereas the
deaths had averaged AZ In every %100
they were now down to about two In
every 100. So In the spring Of 1885
She went TO the Crimea Itself to attend

to the hospitals there. The Crimea
surgeons objected and reminded her
that she was superintendent Of the
nursing staff in Turkey, and the Cri-
mea was in Russia. But she went
nevertheless.
Stricken by the Camp Fever.
She set to work reforming, as she
had done Mt Scutari, but she had done
very little when she herself was struck
down with fever.
She was carried to hut immedi-
ately behind those Of the soldiers. In
England the news Of her illness Gre
ated a sensation as profound as II a
great battle had been lost. She was
very near death, yet she managed to
pull through, but she recovered, with
her beautiful black hair cut of, hook
ing like the ghost of her former self.
When she was well enough she was
taken back to Scutari, feeble, unable
to feed herself or to speak above a
whisper but she would not 60 home.
She worked on until the last British
soldier had left the hospital and the
war was over.
At home by this time she had become
national heroine. Hundreds OF
poems we're written about her; panrph-
lets describing her life were sold In
the street. Her face was stamped on
pottery, on tradesmen's paper bags,
on showmen's booths, on notepaper In
thousand homes. Lifeboats, emil
grant ships, children. streets, waltzes,
race horses were named after her.
She hated it all, but one thing pleased
her-the founding of Nightingale
fund, which she was to spend as she
liked.
Started Many Great Reforms.
Her fund grew to over 500, 900, and
with this money behind her she estab-
lished a training school for nurses and
began many great reforms. She set her
self to reform entirely the health ar
engagements of the army, not. only In
time Of war but in peace; for she was
able to show that horrible as were
the civil hospital records, the death
rate among soldiers In peace time was
twice as high as among civilians.
She turned her attention to the
workhouse system of hospital nursing
and cleansed II of its horrors, and
finally she assailed the entire hospital
system of the country. She became
the Lady of the Lamp indeed; she be
came the high prfestess of light and
air. She founded modern nursing. and
all the great nursing associations and
all the Red Cross societies throughout
the world have spread from her work.
Yet all this time Florence Nightin-
gale was an invalid. She never recov-
cred from the hardships and overwork
of the Crimea. For over half CEN
fury she was a chronic sufferer. She
lived out of sight of the public, and
very often out of the sight of friends
but cabinet ministers would go to see
her, architects building new hospitals
or barracks or schools consulted her.
From all lands appeals came for her
help, and she denied her MD to none.

The registered mems clubs which
have been organized in several town.
ships of Wayne county have already
demonstrated their worth. according

ture agent, and leader in the organi
cation work.
For the purpose OF giving the young.
or generation some useful work to do
during their leisure hours pig raising
contests are being conducted In some
of the townships under the auspices
Of the registered mems club.
The first week that the Clay town
ship men organised the members Wis.
tied all farmers In the township and
gathered up all Of the loose and left

was brought together at a central
point and sold at cost to farmers who
did not have enough seed corn. This
same plan was followed in Washing

Fine Aero Corn Contests.
In the various townships that have
already been organized, Kline has ask.
ed the members Of the clubs to take
part In the five acre corn contests
that the being held throughout Ihdi-
ana under the auspices Of the indiana
Corn Growers association. The men
have responded willingly and as a re.
suit about 80 have already entered
these contests.
Harry Gilbert, Wayne county food
administrator, has heartily endorsed
the contests and said that he believed
1t was the patriotic duty of every
young farmer to take part. The United
States Department OF Agriculture has
also endorsed the contests
America needs all OF the corn and
wheat. and every other kind OF food
produce that can be raised on the
farms this year." Kline said. "The
clubs understand this and wish to
say that they have responded with a
will In entering these corn contests
There will be a corn show here this

ONE OF NATURES
: COMMON TRICKS
Acts just like a wireless mes
sage and ouch" is
the answer


Press an electric button and you
form a contact with live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn 1t pushes it's
sharp roots down upon a sensitive
nerve and ouch" you get a shock OF
pain.
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, Just
step into any drug store and ask for a
quarter Of an ounce of freezone. This
will cost very little, but is sufficient
to remove every hard or soft corn or
callus from ones feet. A few drops
applied directly upon a tender, ach-
ing corn stops the soreness instantly,
and soon the corn shrivels up so it
lifts right out, root and all, without
pain. This drug never inflames or
even irritates the surrounding skin

that you are thin-blooded and anemic.

PARIS. May 30.-A noteworthy
point in connection with the present
great battle is the freedom allowed the
military critics in their articles.
Henri Bidou, for instance, is allowed
to say in LIE Journal this morning that
It was certainly distressing that the
enemy succeeded in recapturing in one
day our conquests Of 1917" and admis-
sion which is considered virtually GER
tain the previous censorship would not
have passed.
M. Bidou, however, inspires conf
dence In the final result, which, he
forecasts. will be a repetition Of that
incident to Germany's last two great
efforts.
The German success, this writer de.
clares, is due to the enemy's ability to
maneuver his reserves within the arc
Of the front in a way which admits Of
a crushing mass to be suddenly thrown
against any weak point. But the en-
emy's object, he points out, Is not to
recapture territory but to obtain such
a victory as will end the war.
