Canadian Paper Asks
Who Are Americans2"

A Canadian newspaper voices .
feeling which it says is quite COM
mon on the other side of the line
that the people of the United States
are not entitled to the designa-
tion of Americans" But on pur-
suing the subject it finds that the
use of the term has become prac-
tically universal throughout the
world and for the most part with
out any organized attempt on the
part of the people of the States >
to monopolize the designation. It
is true that the inhabitants of the
lands north and south of us are
citizens of the America monument,
just as much as we are. While
the Canadians refer to themselves
as Canadians and the Mexicans call
themselves Mexicans, all of them
unite in speaking of the people
Of the United States as Americans.
Even in their official documents
they have begun to do so. The
whole question has apparently been
settled once for all by common
usage and common consent.-Lin-

TYPHUS HALTED
BYSACRIFICES
Two Red Cross Officers in
Reval Succumb In
Fight.

The heroic sacrifice by which two
their lives to save the city of Reval,
Esthonia, from an epidemic of
typhus which was claiming 600 vic
tins per week is revealed in a sec
ton of that organizations annual
report made public here yesterday.
In December typhus broke out and
for months the Red Cross workers
fought the dread disease. The
American Red Cross stopped the
epidemic almost single handed. Two
officers. Lieut.. George w. Winfield
and Lieut.. Clifford Blanton, gave up
their lives in the work"
An idea of the stupendous work
of mercy carried on by the Red
Cross can be gained by the fact that
in Siberia alone thirty-three rail-
road trains distributed food and
clothing.
These trains covered 1920 miles,
while ambulances, trucks and serv-
ice cars travelled $4,000 miles.
Caring for the sick in Siberia, the
Red Cross operated eighteen hos
pitfalls of its own, with a total of
6,596 beds.
The sanitary trains employed,
which in effect were hospitals on
wheels. totaled seventy-five cars
with a capacity of 1850 patients.
A number of typhus trains, the
work of which was chiefly pre-
ventive, were also operated. They
Travelled 1000 miles, disinfecting
100000 persons, bathing 10000
and issuing clean garments to 500,-
900.
In Western Russia and the Baltic
states the work was of a different
character, hecessitating less mobile
equipment In this section the Red
Cross relieved 297,101 civilian poor.
cared for 1889 refugees and aided
1888 prisoners.

Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after a
meal. Sour risings, gassiness, a
heavy bloated feeling and such dis
tress due to Indigestion or dyspep-
sia are usually only temporary. And
yet they may lead to serious
disorder. The regular use of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets after meals
reflects to high degree the intel

ures.
One cannot always select or in
spect the quality of food to be eaten
nor its method or manner of prep
aration. But IL is possible to avoid
the acidity that is so often the re-
suit. And 1t is far better plan to
eat without worry over what may
happen than to starve for fear IL will
happen. Many physicians recon-
mend these tablets for stomach dis

sia.
