A man often forgcts the exact name
of the article he wishes to purchase,
and as a last resort takes something
else instead. That is always disap-
pointing and unsatisfactory. The safe
way is to cut this out and take it with
you so as to make sure of getting
Chamberlain's Tablets. You will find
nothing quite so satisfactory for con
stipation and indigestion. Adv.

LITERATURE L AND ART
 .. Conducted by LEW HEAD

THE STORY OF ARIZONA" has two serious faults. It lacks a map ana an index. Not a Rand McNally map, but one especially made for the book, that would indicate the towns, rivers, mountains, reservations, his torlcal points. and all the other loca tons that are not usually found on maps. Not a table of contents, but a regular index that would include the name of Crook, for instance, with immediate reference to all the pages where his exploits are narrated. Will Robinson is likely to answer back, saying; This is a story, not his tory. And he is right, but you can not read the book without believing every word of it and feeling at the end that you have actually read his tory, wrapped in the charm of a we'll told story. Within an hour after completing the book, I had occasion to refer to an incident concerning the Pima tribe, and it took me half an hour to find it. An index would have aided so much.
 With naming these two faults, l have launched the only criticisms that can be mustered against 456 pages of fascinating reading. l regret that my unfamiliarity with Colonel Me I. . make it impossible for me to write a comparative review of the work, but l do most unhesitatingly recommend Robinson over George Wharton James so far as getting the meat out of Ari zona incidents is concerned.
 Change the name of this book to Arizona Wins" and re-edit the copy to transform 1t into a modern novel emitting dates and the serious side comments that a history-story needs must have, and you would see the character. Arizona, struggling from birth to maturity to classify her own soul. For after all, the. story is one of purification; one of transformation, one of refinement; one of adjustment. You see Arizona, at first formless, with no birthright, no parentage; lying in the great outdoors alone the illegit- mate offspring of Nature and Circum- stance. You witness her first strug- gle to adopt a name for herself, as well as an identity. Then, when she gets aname, the meaning of which, as well as it's derivation, being shrouded in mystery. you see her the plaything of barbaTians, first; then under the mOtherly care of the Catholic priests. | you see her taking her first lessons 1 in righteOusneSs-the lessons that
 cling to her through her most degrad- i ing experiences, to purge her, finally
 bringing her into the pure sisterhood
 of commonwealths. spotlessly virgin l Comes then the period of her eXploi
 tation, when her virtues, like price l less jewels, are tossed into the fever | hazard of the green cloth table: when ! her innocence, that is her wealth, is
 the stake for which unprincipled men
 play wildly. But, out of this process
 of concentration, of turmoil, of admiX-
 ture of experience; through this swell
 tering siege of slaughter by Indians
 retaliation by soldiers. gambling, mur-
 der, drunkenness. robbery, and every known crime that shivers modern
 civilization to the pointed toes of the
 most stylish boots, you witness Ari-

WHO WON THE WAR
 WOMEN-OF COURSE
C. W. Barron, in the Wall Street

 C. W. Barron, in the Wall Street
 Journal)
 Who won the War2
 England, because sheswept the seas. France because she stayed the Hun. Russia, because she divided the Hun forces and thus saved France from early destruction. Italy, because she assisted in the breakup of Austria And lastly, the United States, because when everything was in the balance and the Hun was within 39 miles of Paris, yves Wept the line from Belleau Wood through Chateau Thierry on to Metz and in fivemonths crowned the allies as victors.
 Yet. over and above all. the women won the war. Five million women made good the places of six million men that England enlisted The women of France sustained the men of France. and the Red Cross sus- tained the women.
 The Red Cross's Part
 One of theunnarrated chapters of this war comprises the judicious eX- penditure of Great Britain and the United States in France There was Q time when France was terribly torn and worn to the limit of human and 1 financial resources. England could lot thenspare more men in her fight around the world, and she had credit and she poured money into France. l buying supplies there that in ordinary l times she would have purchased at { home
 Then the American Red Cross. a Red Cross ten times greater than that of any other nation, took up the work in France and enheartened the women assisted the children and wounded. helped the family and encouraged the wives to encourage the husbands at the front
 No people in the world are SC quickly responsive tothe word of en- Icouragement. the ray of hope and the friendly cheer as the French They were cheered up and sustained by the people of England and the United States until the United States ma rines could show them at Belleau Wood in June that the English speak ing people were not only with them with their gold and with their word of cheer, but with their lives and with victory.
 Prepare for Great Work
 I found Harvey D. Gibson, in charge of American Red Cross work in France, more impressed with the re- responsibilities of the disbursements in France, amounting to more than i've million dollars a month. than with any responsibilities since he got mar ried and went on his honeymoon with only s13S to his credit. Between these two events he has, just incidentally, built up the Liberty bank in New York city from 20 million dollars to 100 million dollars deposits.
 In April, 1917 the American Red Cross in France had IS workers. This fall there were more than 5000, and they were arriving in France by thou sands. Back of them were 4 million contributors in the United States Ev eryWhere in France and Switzerland I found the American Red Cross pre- pairing for the great work. The Amer ican army meant business; meant t0 take it's share of the sufferings. an I the Red Cross was clearing the decks , to supply wooden legs and WoodeI arms and new occupations for tho : maimed and crippled defenders of de . mocracy.

The chamber of commerce has become vitally inter- ested in Kansas City music and a symphony orchestra is among early probabilities. Besides an esthetic value, there is also the actual money value of a symphony orchestra to city, and the younger cities are at last beginning to realize the truth of this fact.
