WAS A NURSE IN FOUR WARS
English Woman, Veteran OF Many
Previous Campaigns, Served in
World Struggle.

Mrs. Teresa Eden Richardson, who
died recently at Bath, England, was
worker In the hospitals OF four wars.
She held the South African medal, the
Order Of the Crown Of Japan, the jap
anese Red Cross Order Of Merit, two
Greek medals and the 1914 Star.
During the South African war, says
the London Times, Mrs. Richardson
nursed at hospital at Bloemfontein.
when the epidemic Of enteric fever
tried to the utmost the resources OF
the medical staff. Afterward, through
the japanese minister, she was at
tached to the Red Cross society OF
Japan during the war with Russia.
Later she nursed at Athens during
the war between Greece and Turkey,
and when the present war broke out,
being then sixty-eight years old, she
went to Brierfort, near Brussels. After
the German armies had occupied that
place she nursed at one Of the hos
pitals Of Antwerp throughout the bonn
bardment, she and her maid being the
only persons who remained at her ho-
tel. Mrs. Richardson was one Of the
last to leave the town, escaping down
the Scheldt in q coal barge crowded
with refugees. The privation endured
at this period seriously affected her
health and she was compelled to aban-
don further attempts to render help
In Red Cross hospitals In London and
Nice.

100000 Men Of Draft Age IN
the United States Who Garnet
Read or Write Any Language

The war revealed an extent Of u
nteracy In America almost unbeliev.
able, notes writer In Leslie's. Sec-
retary Of the Interior Lane points out
that there are 100000 men Of draft
age In the United States who cannot
read or write in English or In any
other language. There are 5,50O,OO0
persons over ten years Of age who can
not read or write In any language. The
regular army never enlisted illiterates
but the draft act brought into the
army approximately $1,000 nliterates
and as many more who were almost
illiterate. These soldiers could not
sign their names. They could not read
the manual Of arms. They could not
read their letters or write home. They
could not read their daily orders post
ed on bulletin boards in camp. They
could not understand signals in time
of battle. The economic loss through
illiteracy Is estimated at 1925, 5,OOO,OO
q year, on the conservative assumption
that the productive labor value of an
illiterate Is less by only so cents a day
than that of an educated person. Ten
Per cent Of our country folk cannot
read or write a word. In view of
these facts, Secretary Lane urges an
appropriation for a systematic cam
paign to eradicate adult illiteracy.

BRILLIANT COMEDY SATIRE

Margarita Fisher in "The
Mantle of Charity" has a part in
which her quality as a comedi-
enne is shown to the highest ad-
vantage. There are innumerable
laughs in the brisk comedy, and
there is serious undercurrent
of truth about the frequent mis-
direction of human effort on the
part of philanthropists. But it
is entirely a laughing lesson, and
will be shown at the Arcade
Theatre tonight.
AS a wealthy orphan, Norah
Mcdonald, Miss Fisher plays an
ingenious part, where she mad
vertently becomes the object of
the pity and later the love of
Paul Howell, a would-be bene-
factor of the poor.
He mistakes her for a much
sinned against young woman,
and, in the process of trying to
aid her, is shown the light to a
new and human way of doing
good.

No more your chariot with wings
Shall sail the conquered sky;
How long before my heart shall ceas
To hear you planning by?
You went the hard way to the stars,
Lover Of mine with wings!
So often and SO long outsoared,
The trail Of earthly things
Was but the chain Of gossamer
That snaps at Moons fierce kiss;
Nay, was the love that bound our souls
So frail a thing as this?
o fine. fair spirit! Dreamward-bound,
climb your trackless space;
Is there yet room among your stars
For my remembered face?
Music you made for me Is hushed:
Yet still, on muted strings,
I hear the throbbing Of your flight
Lover Of mine with wings!

MILK AS A FOOD

The increased cost of produc-
ltion has caused a serious de-
crease in the consumption OF
milk and other dairy products.
The need to practice economy
that nearly everyone has felt
during the last year has affect
ed the purchase of milk, and that
in turn has compelled the dairy
man to curtail his production Of
milk.
It would be better for the pub
lie h ealth if people would econ
omize more vigorously in almost
any other way than in the use Of
dairy products. Until recently
those products constituted from
fifteen to twenty per cent of the
food of the American people.
whereber the consumption of
milk was large, tuberculosis was
held in check. With a noticeable
decrease in the consumption Of
milk and butter the resistance of
tuberculosis is weakened. In all
institutions where tuberculosis
lis successfully treated the liber-
al, not to say lavish, use of milk
as a food is the principal item in
the treatment; it is even regard
ed as more important to the pa
tient than fresh air and sun
shine. Scientific observation
shows that the milk-consuming
traces are stronger physically and
mentally and are longer-lived
than those in whose diet milk
forms a relatively Insignificant
part.
But milk is good as a food only
when it is produced under sani-
| tary conditions. Producing milk
under such conditions is in these
days expensive. Effort on the
part Of the public to insist that
i milk be produced at a price out

JUNIOR( MISSIONARY So
CIETL LARGEST IN THE

The Junior Missionary Sotiety
held a social meeting at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
Jacobs Friday night. Games
were played by the young MEM
bers, and several contests were
introduced for their entertain
ment. Refreshments were serv-
ed during the meeting to the de-

This Missionary Society de-
serves quite a bit Of credit for
the good work it has accomplish
ed since it's organization, and es-
pecially during the period Of the
war, when they helped with
their donations to keep the Mis-
sionaries in the war zones. The
society was organized a year ago
by Mrs. C. C. Miller, and has
been growing steadily since it's
organization, until now it
boasts a large membership Of
little missionary workers. In
fact, it has the largest member
ship of any junior missionary
society in the state, and its do

The Society regrets that Mrs.
Miller was unable to attend this
meeting due to illness. Mrs.
