Through the Chautauqua an Official
representative Of the Red Cross De-
partment Of Nursing will soon tell the
people Of this community the story Of
what IL being done and will ask their
cooperation.
One Of the great Lessons Of the world
war Is found in the unnecessarily low
standards Of physical health revealed.
This was brought out most forcibly In
the great number Of reflections Of
young men called to the colors under
the Selective Service Law. Records
show that throughout the United
States one-third Of tho young men ex-
amined for military service were dis
qualified from bearing arms for their
country through minor physical de-
fects, large proportion of which
might have been avoided BY compul-
sorry school examination and proper
medical and nursing care.

need Of women trained in nursing was
supplied BY the epidemics Of Spanish

er to Metz, however, and Treves be-
came the seat of a powerful religious
empire.
Treves had a bishop at very early
date. -Four great saints of the fourth
century are connected with the city.
1t was the scene Of the first Danish
ment of st. Athanasius; st. Ambrose
was born there; st. Jerome first be-
came seriously interested in religion
while studying there, and st. Martin of
Tours went there in 1856 to plead with
the tyrant Maximus for the lives of the
hereto Priscillian and his followers.
The great bishop, st. Nicetius, built
splendid castle for himself at Treves
in the sixth century. The see became
an archbishopric soon after the begin
ming Of the ninth century and its tenn
pOral power was founded in 1913, when
Radbod acquired the rights of the
counts of Treves. Throughout the
middle ages the city abounded in re-
ligious foundations and was a great
seat of mOnastic learning.
Changed Hands Many Times.
With the transfer of the Frankish
capital to Metz began long era Of
changes for Treves. The city passed
to Lorraine in S43 and to the east
Frankish kingdom in $40. 1t was sack
ed by the Mortimer in SS1 after it had
become q permanent part of what is
now Prussia. 1t became a free city
toward the close of the sixteenth cen
fury. The French held it briefly three
times in the seventeenth century and

Got the Wrong Leo.

This little story without claimant
has come up from Florida:
An elderly HoOsier who has been
spending some time in Florida has
been giving his leisure to fishing. There
is fine lake near where he has been
sojourning, and every day he was seen
in silent meditation, for he is think
er, casting his line into the clear wa
ter, apparently with success. This
Hoosier is known for his kindness
and consideration of the feelings Of
others.
One day while absorbed in his fish,
ing an alligator slipped up to him,
snapped off one of his legs, and was
making off with it. "Herer" cried the
fisherman, "come back. You've made
a mistake. You've taken the wrong
legl"
And so he had. The fisherman wore
an artificial leg, and this 1t was that
the alligator had taken.-IndianapoliH
