ORANGE COUNTY CHAPTER.

/
Plans have been put in operation
| for the immediate mobilization of
the American Red Cross Volunteer
Service for the production of gar
ments to clothe hundreds of thou
sands Of the children in Europe, a
task essential to the carrying out of
the general child welfare program
that now concentrates the activities
of the American Red Cross organiza-
tion across.
With material furnished by the
American Red Cross, native women
in these countries today are at work
in an effort to relieve distress among
the destitute children but their
effort is in no wise sufficient to meet
the problem. A. R. c. workers re-
Gently returned from abroad bring
tales of acute suffering among chill
dren who walk barefooted in the bit
ter winter weather, thousands of
whom born in wartime, have never
known a shoe or decent clothing.
Robert f Olds, A. R. c. Commits
sioner to Europe, relates the follow
ing from his own experience. "Close
by the side of the road was a mound
of earth with a small opening at one
side. | knew that some human be-
ing perhaps a family called it home,
because such homes are a familiar
sight in Poland. l stopped and went
through the opening. Inside was a
woman scantily clad and seated be-
side her in the ashes left from the
last fire was a little child without a
bit of clothing on his body and the
ashes were barely warm. The woman
apologized for their condition and
said there are only garments to
cover the two of us and my other
sen has gone to gather wood for an
other fire" 1t is needless to say
that that family received a supply
of clothes as soon as Mr. Olds could
get to a Red Cross supply station;
but what of the others Unless
American women can make 100000
garments there won't be enough to
go around. We are asking for cast
off articles of clothing, which by the
use of specifications Of the r. c. can
be made into useful garments for
these destitute children and for part
" worn children's clothing from one
to fourteen years. All garments
ready for shipment should be sent
to Chapter Headquarters where they
will be packed in standard boxes
ready to be sent across.

REGAINS HEALTH AT AGE
SEVENTY.
Mrs. Mary Masser tells How Tan
lac Relieved Her of Fifteen
Years OF rheumatism.

Il am seventy years old and
am just now getting relief from
case of rheumatism that had
been troubling me for fifteen
long years." said Mary Masser,
of 20 Dubuque St., Manchester,
N. H., while telling of her re-
markable experience with Tan
lac.
THE rheumatism was in near
ly every muscle and joint of my
body and kept me in pain about
all the time. My knees and
hands hurt awfully and at times
would swell up and become stiff.
l had pains all through my back
and my limbs were so weak |
could not walk any distance
without giving out. My nerves
were all unstrung and my liver
was sluggish all the time. / suf-
fered badly from constipation
and had frequent headaches. l
never wanted to, eat much of
anything. l became awfully
weak and rundown. My sleep
was broken and restless and |
just had to drag myself about
the house.
Before l finished my second
bottle of Tanlac | was feeling
like a different person. / have
taken four more bottles now and
am enjoying splendid health once
more. The rheumatic pains have
all disappeared and so have the
swelling and stiffness. / have
been relieved of constipation and
am no longer troubled with head
aches. My appetite is just fine
and everything tastes so good
that | can hardly get enough to
eat. My liver and nerves are
both greatly improved and I en-
joy sound, restful sleep every
night now and feel stronger than
/ have in many years"

To have the pains and aches of

to make any kidney sufferer
grateful. The following advice
of one who has suffered will
prove helpful to hundreds of
Bradford readers.
G X Church, Pleasant St.,
Bradford, says: Some years ago
l began to notice a disordered
condition of the kidneys. There
was considerable pain in my back
and other symptoms of kidney
trouble. Knowing of other peo-
pie who had been cured by
Doan's Kidney Pills, got box
and began using them. Four
boxes of this remedy corrected
the trouble and l have not con-
sidered it necessary to continue
their use further. l am glad TO
give a statement in praise of
Doan's Kidney Pills" State
ment given October 2, 1909
On May 25, 1920, Mr.. Church
said: MY opinion of Doan's
Kidney Pills is as high as 1T
ever was. l use them occasion
ally when l need a kidney rem
edy and they never fail to give
results. I am glad to
confirm my former statement"

Washington, July 2s CBy the A. P.).- With full Japanese participation in the disarmament conference regarded as finally assured. American officials in charge of the conference plans are begin n.ng Co give earnest consideration to the date of meeting as the next step in the diplomatic preliminaries.
 Omc.sI word of Japan's willingness to take part in the discussion of Far East ern questions al the conference had not reached the state department tonight, but officials showed much qualification over news despatches saying that such a de- cision had been reached by the Japanese cabyet and would be communicated to Washington shortly. It has been the de- y.re here To clear away these prelim- insries as quickly as possible. though perfect confidence has been apparent from the start that the Tokio govern ment would interpose no obstacle to the unreserved discussion desired around the conference table.
 The date of meeting is consideration of some importance which naturally will have 10 be settled upon before the formal invitations Eo out from Washington. American officials have emphasized that they desire to get the delegates together zs soon as practicable, though they have uo intention Of attempting to dictate what day shall be selected. They have suggested Armistice day, Nov. II. date understood to have the strong personal endorsement of President Harding.
 Whether that time will be acceptable generally to the other powers is under consideration, but news reports from abroad have indicated that Great Britain In particular might favor delaying the meeting until spring.

 In a long judgment the master of the rolls has decided Egan should have been tried by court martial under the restor- aticn of order act. The claim of the mill itarv authorities that the existence of a state of instruction justified them in ov- erriding legislation seemed to him call for a new bill of rights. There were considerations more important than temp orary duration of an insurrection. Among them were the Eternal Principles of jus tice. which could not be violated without detriment to the true interest and feel ing of civilized community.
