But for tirvely assistance Of the
American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion of the 10000
300 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth Of food, clothing and medi-
cal supplies have been sen to the Bal
kans- Roumania. Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning Of Red Cross re-
lief operations in Central Europe.
while millions Of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
The money expended by the Red
Cross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
rope has been used 10 set up hospitals,
orphanages. dispensaries, mobile medi-
cal units and to lelp in the general re-
construction of devastated areas. Amer
iican tractors and other farming nipple.
ments have been sent 10 the agricul-
tural regions where aid has been Civ

Sunday. March a. Tops: Patience
and Its Rewards. 1 Cor. 3:47; Luke
21-19.
Some Bible Hints.
1t is easy to be patient when we
love, and to be kind even while we
suffer ". A..
1t is time to put the brake of
patience on the feelings when we are
stirred by personal wrongs ". 81.
Patience is self-control, it is the
power of remaining cool when wrong
cd. and of refusing to act hastily
". y.
The impatient man has lost his soul,
lost control Of it; it is like a runaway
horse ". 81.
Suggestive Thoughts.
The mother is patient with the follies
of her child because she loves the
child. We shall never gain true pa
thence until we love people.
God is patient. Consider how slow
ly and patiently He, has worked in
creation; and how patiently He has
worked with man. He means us to
DO like Himself and work on without
faltering.
The most important rewards of pa
thence are in character. 1t is the i'm
patient hot-headed boy that in later
years commits crimo. Patience ana
restraint in youth mean honor in old
age.
One reward of patience is inward
peace, Gods peace. And this patience
and peace may be won by practice.
Let us watch against hastiness.
A Few Illustrations.
Columbus was patient in his search
for a new world, and a new world was
his reward. When we find truth we
do not need to thrust it upon people.
Time will bring us our triumph.
Elias Howe, the inventor OF the
Howe sewing-machine, spent all he
had in his patient search for method

LITTLE DAUGHTER
Case of Catarrh in the Head,
No Appetite-Weak and

BIG DIFFERENCE NOW
Mr.. Baker Got Great Relief
Himself From the New Root

is Why He Gave it to Her.

Dreco that I put my little five year
old girl to taking it and there is a big
difference in her now" said Mr.. Will
lis Baker, the we'll known concrete
contractor of 1913 East Marklin St.,
kokomo. Indiana.
Il had never been able to get rid
of constipation, pains in my back and
heartburn till l tried this new meri-
cine Dreco, and believe the first dose
did me good. Dreco also worked my
liver off, thereby relieving those awful
dizzy spells and cleared off my tongue,
Il had catarrh, which kept me hawk
ing all the time and clearing my
throat. Dreco overcame this for me,
and I started my little girl taking it,
ard there is a big improvement in
her. The color has returned to her
checks; she romps and plays, has a
good appetite and the catarrh IS all
gone. l am strong believer in
Dreco."
Dreco acts on the liver in a smooth,
gentle manner, gradually working off
the excess bile day by day: II IA not
strong or harsh and does not excite
the muscles as strong cathartlcs do.
1t tones up the digestive organs and
relieves gas on the stomach; puts an
end to constipation; increases the APP
petite; gives strength to weak kid
ncys: restores sound sleep and tired
nerves. Dreco is great blood puri-
fier and system cleanser.
All progressive druggists now sell
Drcco, and it is highly recommended
in Richmond by Thistlethwaite's drug
stores Advertisemcnt.
