Father Keefe spoke in part as fol- lows:
 We are assembled for one of the greatest efforts in the history of the nation for those whom have made victory possible for us. The first question to be asked Is: What do you intend to do? The President of the United States after much consid- erat:on, came to the conclusion that to keep up the morale of the army it would be most practical to employ the seven organizations, the Y. M. c. A, the National Catholic War Council (Knights of Columbus), the Jewish Welfare Board, the Y. W. c. A, the War Camp Community Service, the American Library Association and the Salvation Army. He has declared that they are efficient to carry our message to the boys. We are weav- ing a cable of seven strands by our gratitude and love and patriotism.
 Practical business men have re- alized that a combination was needed So that the time of busy men might be conserved. It is a matter of practi- cal business. Everyone has some af- filiation. It creates better feeling to have such a combination. In unity there is strength. We are working all together under one fiag--that is the motto ot the combination. The seven organizations have sent tens of thousands of their secretaries with the boys from Camp Devens to the Presidio. They meet the boys every where. They take them by tho hand. They follow them across the seas. Your representatives cater to your brother and to your brothers wants. They cater to his wants as he waits down in the muddy trench Your secretaries even looked out for the wants of our boys when they were in prison camps. They stand behind the boys during the recuper- ative period. Is there a man or woman in the United States worthy of the name of American who will say refuse to give all can to carry on fhe wonderful works of home and q ilization?

Don'tGamble With Your
 Health
If You Have a Cold and Neglect It You Are Taking Chances of
 Pneumonia

Got a cold and decided to let it wear off, have you?
 This neglect and taking chances with colds is responsible for more deaths than the whole list of diseases. It paves the way for all kinds of disease, particularly pneumonia.
 The cold settles down and attacks the lining of the lungs-then it is pneumonia.
 Many cough syrups' and "balsams" are dangerous. Their only effect is from opium and other nerve deaden- ing drugs they contain. It is a tenn porary, stupefying effect, and the cold remains just the same and wears away the weakened body. It only disappears when it's place is taken by a more serious disease like pneumo- mia.
 Take no chances. Begin today taking Father Johns Medicine which has had more than sixty years of sue cess treating colds and coughs without using alcohol or any dangerous nerve deadening drugs. It builds fighting strength to ward off disease.-Adv.
