walton and cold and hunger,
daily, hourly, incessantly-what
did you do9t And we must
hold our tongue and lose oil
claims upon them, even though
they be our sons and brothers,
unless in our hearts we know
that our service was not less
constant, if less gallant, than
was theirs. The daily discipline
of self for country is what dis
tinguishos them. We cannot
be distinguished by less.
This daily discipline of self,
this consistency Of service, are
virtues not beyond attainment
by the true patriot. They must
be deliberately sought, yet not
ostentatiously expressed. They
must be ascetic and yet not
Pharisseical. They must, in
8 h OFT, represent constant
effort on our part to forego our
pleasure for our nation and to
stint our bodies for our souls.
To this end nothing is more
serviceably useful and few
things are more vital than indi
vidual self denial, the fruits of
which are invested in War Saw
ings Stamps.
Does this seem prosy moral
to n lofty tale? Does it seem II
ludicrous contract TO the ser
vice our boys are rendering
overseas? 1t 10, il it DO meas
ured in the concrete result, sub
stautial though that be. But it
is not this concrete result we
need: | is the spirit that yields
the result. BY drawing ones
check for $1,000 against an am
Pile balance in bank, and by
purchasing War Savings Stamps
with the proceeds, one helps
ono's country and ones finances
but not ones spirit. But by
saving 81 DOC, dollar by dollar,
and by investing it in War
Savings Stamps, one practices
n self-restraint and EXHIBITS n
constant thought of country
that ennoble spiritually even
more than they benefit iinan-
cially. 1t il, in short, not what
man purchases, but why and
when and how he purchases
that give him something Of the
moral equivalent of war. With
al, virtue lis it's own rewnrd-if
we are selfish enough TO claim
it-or an investment of ones
patient savings in War Savings
yield Ia better return than any
security of even relatively the
same strength in the world.
Ten years ago, SO profitable an
Investment would have seemed
unbelievable.
We Nirginians have lived for
one generation in the memory
aud under the spell Of n great
war, To our fathers, fidelity

TO us, it has been the inspira-

are destined TO survice as the

months of our forcbodying,

hope. The fruits we thought to
gather in some vaguely distant
harvest nrc ripcning fast. The
peace we dared not mention, SO
remote did it seem, is hera'ding
its coming in thousand instant
sounds. The vengeance of n
God of Justice ia at hand. The
war Of righteousness is won.
When we shall see in n sign

ry and the promise of lasting
peace, we shalt reckon this war
worth all it has cost; and when
we shall welcome our boys
home, we shall forget the
doubts, the numbing darkness
and the dread suspense of that
grim season of the Huns ad
vance. What Il day will it be
when Nirginia's veterans re-
turn to her. This old common
wealth of ours will rejoice as
never il has since that painting

great review in Richmond will
be as memorable as March %,
1915, when Henry sounded the
tocsin of revolution, or April

on her armor of self defence.
But 10 some the day of our

scOUR THE MOUNTAINS
FOR FLU" SUFFERERS
State Health Officers Do Eff
fective Work With Emer-
eency Hospital at
Pennington
Gap.

Richmond, Va, Nov. ii. =
Richmond well has occasion to
be proud of the speed with
which she conceived, planned
and opened her emergency
hospital in John Marshall High
School, but even so, her record
is hardly more creditab!e than
that of the little town of Penn
ington Gap in Lee County.
This municipality, which is far
more rural than urban, was the
centre of genuine hotbed of
Spanish "llu" and the State
Board of Health was quick to
dispatch DIR. w. A. Brumfield
of the u. s. Public Health Ser
vice to the scene of distress. In
something like five hours the
physician, aided by volunteer
workers VINO were happy to
help, had transformed the town
shoolhouse into n well-appoint-
ed hospital and was ready for
business.
AS the reports concerning the
disease We're most alarming and
large section Of isolated noun
tam territory was known TO be
affected, n hospital train was
quickly manned and equipped.
so that the sufferers for miles
around might be reached and
brought TO the newly opened in
stitutlon at Pennington Gap.
The idea, of course, was to han
die only the patients who were
in most serious condition and
to take chances with the Others.
But 1T soon became apparent
that much bushwhacking would
be necessary in order to reach
these sufferers, for many of
them lived far up in the hills at
almost inaccessible points, re-
mote from the railroad, and
even beyond the reach of horse
drawn vehicles
These unfortunates, some of
whom dwelt in cabins indicat.
ing the direst poverty, had to
be borne on cots to the train
down narrow mountain paths
or over rocky hills. In some
INSTANCES, the litter bearers had
to tote" their human burdens
a mile or SO, but they perform
ed this arduous work with the
utmost enthusiasm. More lit.
ter-bearing had to be done at
remington Gap, for the school.
house was some distance from
the station, but always there
were townspeoplc who willing.
ly undertook this duty and left
the doctors and nurses to more
important duties.
There were times when the
Pennington Gap hospital had
ms many as seventy five patients
and possibly u majority of these
had pnuemonia, but the deaths,
according TO the latest accounts.
did not reach over ten or eleven.
This was a splendid record. for
the institution received only
very i'll patients and some of
them were far gone when help
came to them.
AZ one stag of his activities,
DR.. Brumfeld was somewhat
staggard to find several cases
diphthcria, but he was prompt
TO administer antitoxin and 10
quarantine the homes Of suffers.
Fortunately the cases of n mild
type, but all the same no chances
were taken, and in order to
prevent spread of the disease,
guards were placed before the
habitations of the patients.

A VALUABLE ORGANIZATION

The value of the girls community
war work organization can not be
over-estimated. The organization
includes nearly 200 girls of Pullman
and the country surrounding, enthu-
siastic, patriotic and willing, ever
ready to do anything or everything
that they can find to do that might
assist in winning the war or tighten
ing the burden of some war organi-
Zation that is overloaded with duties.
The girls are anxious to do their bit
and the community should feel at
liberty to make use of them as occa-
sion demands. The organization has
proved highly efficient in conducting
ice cream and popcorn sales at public
gatherings as war work benefits and
will be found highly useful in many
other respects. Pullman is fortunate
in having an organization Of this ma
ture and the girls are to be commend
ed for their spirit of patriotism and
loyalty.

KNOW WHEREOF THEY SPEAK

President Wilson says: Thought
less expenditures of money for nom
essentials use up the labor of men
the products of the farm. mines. and
factories, and overburden transpor-
tatlon, all of which must be used to
the utmost and at their best for war
purposes"
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
says: 1T is essential that the Amer
lean people economic and save in
order to make available to their gov
eminent the money Indispensable
needed for the war and to release
supplies and labor required for the
production of things necessary for
our own military forces and for the
military forces of the nations associ-
ated with us"
samuel Gompers, head of the
American Federation of Labor. saws:
During the time when we send our
young men to the trenches TO live a
life that grills flesh and nerve, let
every man, woman, and child who is
privileged to remain in free America
in physical safety count it a free
mans duty to eat simple food and
conserve for our army and our allies,
to wear simple clothes, to avoid un-
necessary or unwise expenditures,
that we may give to our fighting mea
and the government and have re-
sources for the constructive work of
the country"
Frank A. Vanderlip. chairman of
the National War Savings Committee
and president of the National City
bank of New York, says: Every
body should buy less, consume less.
save more money, and loan their saw
ings to the government. The result
will be more money for the govern
ment to run the war. increased accu-
mutation of savings by the people at
good interest and absolute security,
and less drain on the cOuntry's pro-
ductive and industrial resources"
Arthur 7. Hadley, president of
Yale University, says: Those of us
who are left at home must increase
our production and lessen our CON
sumption in order to have men and
supplies available for fighting. We
must reduce our consumption to
war basis. We must abstain from
unnecessary expenditures in the way
of comforts and services"
Julius Rosenwald. president of
Sears, Roebuck K Co. and now
member of the Advisory Committee
of the Council of National Defense,
says: Saving by everyone is as inn
peratiye for the winning of this war
as is the modelling of armies; more
than that, the modifying of armies
is entirely futile if this military step
is not accompanied by the rigorous,
common sense saving of the nation,
for without saving the marshaled
hosts can not be equipped. can not
be fed, can not be carried Oyersears,
and can not be put into the fight We
can finance the enormous cost of this
war by spending only for the things
we need, not by spending for the
things we desire. Just so long as we
continue to spend for things we do
not need, just that long do we pro-
dous sacrifice of life and property"
