New Class Formed.

The new class in surgical dressings
commenced Thursday. Although the
enrolment was limited to twenty SO
many were anxious to take the work
that twenty-five were accepted.
Although the work room is always
open from 10 a. m. till noon there has
been no special effort to have workers
present. But the need is so great for
these surgical dressings that we, feel
sure there are women who will be
glad to give some time mornings to
this work. Commencing next week
we will have supervisors at the room,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
mornings and any who can do so are
urged to devote part of their morning
hours to this work.

PEACEFUL WAR JOBS

The Ordnance Department has sud
denly walked up to the fact that it is
overmanned. AS a result some of the
swivel chair heroes may get chance
to have trench fever.
Also incompetence has been dis
covered within the sacred portals of
the home of red tape! Employees have
a way of not getting down to the
office on time, it is said, and demotion
and even discharge are mentioned as
possible remedies.
1t is not surprising that out of the
thousands of persons who have gone
to take Ordnance positions there
should be the usual quota of incompe-
tents, or that when there is a sur
plus of individuals in one spot there
should be congestion. The surprising
thing is that the Ordnance Depart
ment has borne up so long.

MAY BAR FREAK PACKAGES
Odd Pieces of Mail Cause Congestion
Mt POstOfice.

Many persons and concerns are
mailing letters and other matters in
envelopes which are sach size or shape
as to cause serious difficulty in handl-
ing them in the regular mail, the post
Office says. In some cases the envel-
opes are extremely large or very
small, while others are of triangular,
circular, or pther irregular shape,
making it impossible to run such mail
through the cancelling machine, or
work it with dispatch through the
separating cases. Hence these freak"
sizes and shapes must be cancelled
by hand, imposing unnecessary labor
upon the postal service and delaying
the expeditions treatment of all such
mail matter.

ARE WE WORTHYl

Greater love hath no man thar
this: That he lay down his life for his
friends"
These words you have either heard
or read They were spoken ages ago
but live today. They apply to life
today just as true as they did at the
time of Christ. They express the same
guiding spirit of humanity on a basis
of love for a world of happiness just
as they did nearly two thousand years
ago. They embOdy the spirit of un-
seIfshness and self-sacrifice. They
tell the story of the greatest things in
life-loye, unselfishness.
over there" in no mans land,
thousands of Americans are facing the
cold steel-jacket bullets from the guns
of the Huns. They are willing to lay
down their lives that the love of hu-
manity may not perish from this
earth. They are willing to give their
all that the world may not again face
the crimes and sufferings thrown upon
the world OF the bloOd-thirsty Hun
hordes.
But what are we doing over here?
Are we just as self-sacrificing and as
unselfsh as the Americans "over
there? Are We willing to give our
best to help crush the German war ma
chine? In other words are we doing
our utmost in standing behind the
Americans and their Allies who stand
behind the guns in defense of our
civilization? Think it over.
What is a $50 Liberty Bond or a
81 or $40 subscription to the Red Cross
compared to the sacrifice of life?
Life cannot be weighed in money,
we ought to know that. 1t is the
dearest and most precious thing God
has given. Yet, some Of US grumble !
and believe we are undergoing a sacri- |
fee when we invest in Liberty Bond. |
1t may be that some of US do not |
realize what it is to face a whizzing |
bullet, but for goodness sake it is time
for all of US to realize that this war is
a struggle between life and death.
Let's not be remembered again that
daily Americans lay down their lives
that freedom and liberty may not be
taken out of our lives. Let's give our
all to the Red Cross; buy Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps. Let
US be sacrificing and willing. And
in the end, let's close our eyes a few
paint a mental picture of
he willing and sacrificing "over there"
and let these words rule our lives:
Greater love hath no man than
his: That he lay down his life for
his friends"

II A HERO OF THE TRENCHES
By Margaret scoggin.
Only dog-but yet,
Ere the sun had set,
Hardly an eye
In the trench was dry
Because of the dog.
He had been found
On a lonely mound
By soldiers gay
Just on their way
To the trenches.
A good old dog, lovable, too,
So naturally in time he grew
To be the soldiers pet,
And he never let
Them long for home.
A friendly bark for all,
Tall, slim, large or small.
He held place in each soldiers heart,
And in each soldiers life he played
part,
The ne'er could be forgotten.
Full soon he knew
The red, white and blue
From the Hunnish flag
And we used to brag
Because he knew.
The sun shone down
On the battle-ground,
And Into No Mans Land
Came the Command,
over the top"
And though we never knew,
The dog went, too
Through shot and shell,
We fought right we'll;
But the fiag-bearer fell.
The foe we defeated,
And then we retreated
We missed the flag,
But we could not lag:
1t was too late.
This dog so grand,
No Mans Land,
The awful stencil,
And to his trench,
Brought back the flag.
The dog was shot,
But he needed not
Till his work was done.
Then killed by a Hun,
He fell
The flag We draped DER him,
Proudly we bore him,
And DER the grave
)f this hero brave
We sounded taps
Do you wonder yet,
Gre the sun had set,
Hardly an eye
n the trench was dry,
Because of the dog?
The moon shone down
But comrade was killed
IN the battle-ground, :
md his place was untitled :
In each soldiers heart. :

KEEP. LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having a sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples = bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in-
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a weil-lznown physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for caIomel, are gentle in their action
vet always effective. They bring about
that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities
