more than half OF the battle mortal

In the armies of the North during
the civil war the battle mortality in

the Mexican war average, while the
death rate from disease was reduced
nearly SIS per cent. The disease NOR

In Mexican War.
In the Mexican war more than
seven American soldiers died of dis

Eleven in every hundred fell victims

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. July 2s.-There is gloom in
a certain regiment of Yankees. and
| it is not because they haven't had
opportunity to whip boches.
The regiment is going to lose what
the men consider their most valuable
asset. the Mcintyre Sisters. also
known as the Salvation Army girls.

minutes notice that a certain large
number of cups of coffee were want
ed. Being efficient American girls,
that was all the time they needed.
They're good pals, not dolls" is
the way the doughboys compare the
rugged. lively American sisters with
French girls out near the front.
When the doughboy comes around, he
usually is eager to work, and he's
happiest who is given a job dipping
doughnuts, cutting wood, or doing
anything to help the Mcintyre Sisters.
II is a happy American family. this.

Hun Shells Miss Them
These American soldier girls have

they were absent at work one day

Although thousands of young men
from civil life are being assembled at
the various army camps in the United
states every week, the. Army Medical
Corps is successfully meeting the
task Of decreasing the sick rate, The
most recent report shows slight in
crease in pneumonia. but cases OF
other more serious diseases are be-
coming less.
Just now every effort is being
made to devise new methods for COM
batting pneumonia and measles. IL
is believed that better instruction to
the men in their choice of wearing
apparel and in the tricks OF prevent
ing the contraction of colds after eN-
ercise will do much toward reducing
the number of pneumonia cases.
Measles. however, still appears to be
popular.
No Toxin Found.
As yet no toxin has been discovered
which is fatal TO the germ OF measles.
As a matter of fact, out of the hun
dreds of cases of measles reported for
the week ending July 10, ouly one
proved fatal
The southern and southeastern
camps show the greatest SIGN TdtcS'
Closely following them are the two
embarkation camps in Virginia
where the men who are to be left be-
hind because of illness are sorted
out. The southern camps have an
average OF about twenty-six men in
the hospital to every 1000 in camp.
The southeastern camps have twenty
seven. the eastern fourteen, the north
eastern fourteen, the central thirteen,
and the western eighteen.
The highest rate of all the camps
is at Wadsworth. at Spartanburg.

where only six men in a thousand

Comparative Figures.
During the first ten months of
Americas participation in the world
war the records OF the American ex-

of disease mortality has been reduced
to an exact parity with battle death
rates.

BL0USES FOR ALL
Separate Outside Garment Has
Recognized Advantages.
Waisteoat, cuirass and Ornamental
elouses Are Among the Styles
for Various Tastes.

There are still women who wear sep.
arate skirts and bouses without a pre-
tense that the two belong to each
other.
There are still women who wear coat
suits with white or colored blouses
that end Mt the waistline and are
joined to the skirt under leather belt
or one Of the material.
II may be that this fashion will
never die out, but the impulse toward
mcdievallsm In dress has continually

To shade the eyes or not to shade

II is the children of school age, and
the young folks going away to school
that claim attention In August. Early
In September they begin another years
work and must be QUILTED with
clothes for the first quarter of the
school year, ut least, and often for
half of it.
The early display of clothing is a
great help to those mothers who under
take to have their children's clothes
made ut home. 1t Is probably quite as
economical to buy little cotton dresses
ready-made as to make them ut home /;
but In homemade garments individual
taste can be brought into play and
more handwork and "stltchery" used
than can be had in moderately priced
frocks bought ready made.
Besides, remOdeling is an item in
wartime economy that every mother
should consider. All wooden frOcks that
are either remOdeled for the children
or handed on to some one who can
wear them save the consumption of
energy. and this Is Il patriotic service
that Is worth while.
Blue serge-the never failing-is
featured in the new displays. Some
times 1t is combined with heavy linen

model for any sort of material-wOol,

Wool and linen are most worth while,

What Easter Means To Me

Easter has another message for the
soldiers of Liberty. It declares that
Christ's plans cannot be defeated .
They thought they had completely
wrecked all His plans when they cru
Gifted Him and sealed the stone over
the door of His tomb. But the resur-
rection morning showed that the only
plans defeated were those of His enc
mics. So it ever shall be. Men may
come and go, kingdoms may rise and
fall Cars and Kaisers may lose their
thrones, but the mighty purposes of
the Son of God move right on to their
glorious goal. 1t was written of Him
long ago, HE shall not fail nor be dis
couraged till He have set justice in
the earth" Be assured that justice
will come out of this world struggle.
And if we sometimes become discour-
aged, remember that our living Lord
is not discouraged.
"Unfurl the flag and face the foe, and
you shall hear ere long
The broadsides of Gods thunder
against the gates of wrong"
But here is the best thing of all

were so bad that it was almost impossible
to get him in.
But after time. against all kinds of

him, and when getting back into the
trench. over the parapet, he was fatally
wounded in the spine.
Later they were lying together in

mine" and he replied ''Never mind, you
are married and I am single, and it
doesn't matter much about @ne; you go

Simmonds said he made secret vow
that he would live to be worthy of the

He can have the Divine Friend 90 with

Jesus said in effect to His disciples,

He will go with you all the way. With
you to give comfort. With you to keep
