ROAST FOR THE PROFITEERS
Chaplain of Columbia University Post Brands Graspers as "orsedy
 Human Vultures."

Greedy human vultures" and crawling ghouls' were terms applied to war protiteers by Rev. Dr. Herbert Shipman, chaplain of Columbia uni versity post, No. 400. of the American Legion, in his Armstice day sermon at the Church of the Heavenly Rest on Fifth avenue In New York. Doctor Shipman, who is rector of the Fifth avenue church and an over seas veteran, said that he was bitter against those who out of the sacri- flee and blood of others have coined dirty money while posing as patriots" The pastor read from poem he had written, the title of which Is "The proflteer"
 It follows: You have decked your frowzy wives with
 borrowed spendors, You have hung your daughters necks
 with stolen pearls: Have you thought about the other wives
 the lenders.
 Or the harlots made to decorate your
 girls? You have fashioned from the needs of
 sick and dying. From the souls of children pleading for
 the right, Ready cash today to do your Christmas
 Suying,
 Ready cash to pay your prostitute to-
 night. You have coined your filthy gold from
 blood and sorrow: There are soldier graves across the
 field of France Whence the dead through you upon to-
 morrow
 Will rise to damn your profits with
 glance. All the deathless deeds worth doing and
 worth telling, All the things that noble men hold high
 and true, All but seemed to you for buying and for
 selling.
 All to serve a greasy human vuiture-
 you! God That better men should toll and
 sweat and labor. Bear the cross and climb up Calvaries
 of pain While the crawling ghouls that spare not
 friend or neighbor Damn the world to make crucible for
 gain If in blackest hell. O Lord. there be
 blacker;
 If beneath tho deepest pit a deeper pit; Not for harlot thief or coward stacker But for these that blackest. deepest hell
 Is fit. Profteers of every sort and kind and
 fashion,
 Where you tread full many other feet
 have trod; You are ranged against the power of
 Christ's own passion; Here Behind you walk the searching
 feet of God.

wide doorway gives access to the din' ing room, which is not quite as large as the living room. The, latter Is 12 by IS feet; the dining room IF by 16 feet. It also Is we'll lighted and venti- lated by & spacious side bay window which Is divided Into six easements.
 Conveniently adjacent to the dining room Is the small, compact kitchen, 12 by II feet 6 inches, equipped with the latest devices of kitchen craft. From kitchen to dining room table Is only few steps, an important item for the housewife who has to traverse that ground so frequently every day. A small pantry is located at one end Of the kitchen, while the rear door opens on to the small porch.
 Leading from the living room on the other side of the house Is hall which gives access to the two bedrooms and bathroom. The bedrooms are not large, yet ample for the needs of the fam fly. One is 10 feet G inches by 10 feet 6 inches; the other Is 12 by 10 feet 6 inches. Between them Is the stair case leading to the cellar below, where the heating plant and laundry equip ment are located.
 It is evident that the arrangement of the rooms in this home Is very happy one and as efficient as any housewife could ask for For after all she is the one who generally profits or suffers because of room size and arrangement. The architect in this case has considered her needs when designing the home. As result he has built an attractive, inviting, cozy little home, and one that should be source of inspiration to all people who love to be independent.

$35O,00O FOR NEW HOSPITAL
American Legion of Texas Actively Behind Plan for Care of Men
 Who Have Tuberculosis.

The American Legion of Texas Is now actively behind the campaign to raise S350,OO0 for hospital for tuber- culous ex-service men. At recent meeting of the Benevolent War Risk society of Texas the directorate was increased from 15 to 45, the 30 new directors being the membership of the state Legion executive committee and five members of the central hospital committee at Austin.
 This marks the turning over of ac- tive control of the campaign to the Legion. Some $2OO,oOO still remains to be raised, but the first unit of 100 beds of the proposed hospital Is d. most ready for occupancy.

 There Is scanty conversation and what there Is consists mostly of the unprintable word. Now and then there Is youthful face set in an adaman- tine mask of determination. It Is easy to see things are new to them and they have been temporarily cowed by the higness and hardness of the city.
 There are few women sprinkled among the bench-warmers Some are old and bloated, with clothing greasy and foul. A few are young, the glamor of sin reflected iD their gar ments. Their furtive eyes seem ever in quest of blue uniform.
 The most pathetic side of the eve ming array in Bryant park Is the breeding silence. One may almost feel the terrible, depressing thoughts. Only few blocks away is the light ness of Broadway where the froth of life is churned to an iridescent foam.

A Fire Every Minute.

A fire rages somewhere every minute of every day in the United States. Most of them are prcventable. Charles E- Case, a New York insurance man and fire prevention expert told the chamber of commerce at Fire Pre- ventioa" luncheon at the Hotel Baiti- more. The epidemic of preventable fires the last year was attributed by Mfr. Case to easy-going wastefulness because of prosperity.

 Readers of this Paper

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If che kidneys are not in healthy con sditson, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer pain in the back, head ache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irrita. Sble and may be despondent; it makes any one so.
 Rut hundreds of women claim that Dr. kilmer's Swamp Root, by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be. just -tAe remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

whom my father had referred, and

there might be something unusual
in the fact of the same two boats
occupying about the same positions
relative to each other for three con-
secutive days. They were an

the figures of the men to be dis

boat evidently had been keeping out
of the way of the other. The boat
nearest to US had more than once
started in the direction of the other
one, and the second had promptly
pulled up anchor and chugged far
Their away, to come back to its Or
iginal position later when the first
boat was safely out of the way.
We had commented upon this fact
with lazy mirth, knowing the child
ish jealousy of fishermen, wondering
why the occupants of the first boat
had not stood on their "hshermen's
right" ard warned off the others
from their favorite grounds. But the
