Wear a carnationl |"
Miss Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia was
the originator of Mothers Day, which
was observed in several cities in 1910.
Now it has become a day Of nation
wide observance, following an act of
congress in 1914. 1t is set apart for
special observance in honor of the
home and motherhood. It's purpose is
to recall the memories of mothers who
have gone; to brighten the lives of
those who remain; to stimulate men,
women and children to hc1Or home
and parents. 1t Is to be observed by
act of kindness to mother and father;
by service in churches of all creeds,
and by wearing a carnation. emblem of
the purity, beauty, fidelity and strength
Of mother love.
The photographs herewith repro
duced tell in themselves a story of
Mothers Day-even If they do not
tell the whole story. Like a song
without words" it is a story without
text. Put into the pictures what you
know of life and mothers love-and
you have a story of your own.
Put yourself-so far as you can
in the place of the mother in black at
that national shrine-the stately rest
ing place of the unknown Soldier
In Arlington National cemetery at
Washington.
Is she there because she cannot be
beside the grave of her son in France?
It would be a natural thing for a fallen
hero's mother to do. For the nation
has raised this memorial to show it's
appreciation of the American fighting
man. So what more fitting place for
a Gold Star Mother on Mothers Day?
But this is not enough. Sixteen Gold
Star Mothers made a pilgrimage to
this national shrine the other day.
There they paid silent tribute with
wreaths and prayer. Then they went
to the White House, where President
Coolidge expressed his sympathy with
their purpose. They were in Wash
ington representing 5000 bereaved
American women who want to visit
the graves Of their sons overseas. Rep
resentative Samuel Dickstein of New
York has introduced a bill setting forth
their wishes. 1t authorizes the secre-
tary of wal to arrange trips to Europe
and back on government-Owned yes
sells, with proper military escort and
500 for incidental expenses of each
mother. Said the Gold Star Mothers
to the house military committee:
Many mothers sacrificed their sons
in the World war after they had given
twenty years of service to rear them.
A Journey to the shrine of their life's
work is small compensation for these
desolated women-yet it is all they ask.
Many of them are so poo that they
will never be able to make the journey
at their own cost
The National War Mothers associa-
ton decided at its last annual con-
to move it's headquarters from
indianapolis to Washington. The pres
ent officers are: Mrs. H. H. McCluer,

ident; Mrs. Carrie l.. Root, Gardiner,

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Should
Use SWamp-ROOt

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview of the subject, made the as
t%onishing statement that one reason why
SO many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease. DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles Of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writings be sure

Canadian Travels 1900
Miles to Marry Woman

A Canadian recently crossed two
continents and an ocean to marry a
Greek girl and take her back with
him to Skagway In the remote North
west. The Journey to Greece and back
extended over 1900 miles and cost
nearly f1,OOO.
An even more trying journey was
undertaken by a Russian who had emf

across Siberia, to his sweetheart's
home In European Russia, where he

occupied eight months.
Long journeys to get married some
times have unexpected endings. A girl

ers. living near or living far.
Mothers never die. Some are
called away, but always they
leave behind a part of them
selves, and that living part builds
for itself a home in the hearts
of mothers children.
Today my address to living
mothers is in the passion tone Of
red; today my address to mothers
who have been called away is in
the worshipful tone of white.
Living mothers will read my
address to them in my passion
color on the breasts of living
sons and daughters.
And who shall say to me that
my worshipful address in white,

may not also be heard by moth
ers no longer in the earth-zone?
I do not surely know. but often
l halfway believe, that the moth
ers who live up there beyond the
starline may be listening-in at
some angel wireless station. and
happily hearing the message of
love I am speaking this Mothers
Day in tones of white from the
breasts of multitudes of remem-
bering sons and daughters.

The Mother Instinct! What good
American does not thrill at the ia
miliar sight here pictured? 1t is one
of the things that keeps alive faith in
the race and our destiny. 1t Is this
same mother instinct that gives the
nation its devoted wives and mothers,
its trained nurses and its faithful
teachers. Incidentally, it adds inter
est to the pretty little potential moth
er pictured to know that she is Mary
Walker Lee of New York, the only
grandchild of that gentleman, scholar
and soldier-Robert E. Lee.
The two contrasting types of savage
mothers shown are proof positive that
there is no color line in mothers.
Motherhood is the same, whether in
British East Africa or in the Arctic.
incidentally, we shall say which is the
happier-the savage woman who mates
early and knows the joys of wifehood
and motherhood or the woman of civ
ilization who devotes her youth to a
preparation for a career and dies an
old maid?

trait of Mrs. Anna (A1a) Smith direct

she has mothered, fed, clothed and
educated. Mr.. and Mrs. Newton j.
Smith have been father and mother to
orphans and unfortunates for the last
twenty years on their 20O-acre farm
near Hoopeston, Ill. The old house
has stood there for forty years and
has gradually peer enlarged to ten
rooms.
"Pies like Mother used to make is
a famous saying. But not every
mother can make good pies. Five
prominent American women have
therefore appealed to the housewives
of the nation to promote the study of
chemistry IN Inc INTEREST or better
housekeeping, better food, healthier
children and happier homes.
Mother love is a passion as old as
the race. Circumstances and environ
ment may cause it to act s~erenely,
but on occasion it flares forth In its
pristine elemental strength. Mrs. John
p. Williams of Aurora carried three
of her children to safety from a fire
and fought madly to rush back to Ger.

Simiz of Chicago shot her nineteen
son 'to save his soul" and
keep him from a life of crime. Mrs.
James Morris of Chicago exposed her
past In court in an effort to get back
daughter from foster parents.

PROPOSED
IN NEW
BILL .
Would Take Over Hydro Plant
Under Contract, Paying
Third Of Cost

Legislation under which a third
party may take part in the dis
tribution Of power from the pro-
posed Great Falls hydro-electric
plant was proposed today at a
meeting of the special subcommit-
tee of the House District Com
mittee in charge of the proposal.
Lessee's Contract Proposed.
c. e. Martin. representing New
York bankers organization, intro.
duced a bill which he had prepared
providing for distribution of the
current through a lessee who would
take over the plant under a 100.
year contract. Martin proposed
that the lessee should pay one.
third Of the cost of constructing
the entire plant, or approximately
$15,000,00O.
He proposed that the War De.
partment should construct all the
necessary dams and storage reserv.
Cirs except the sub-stations, power
houses which are not integral parts
OF the dam. auxiliary plants. trans.
mission lines, machinery and cleo
tr1cal equipment. Those would be
provided by the lessee.
He would have the Federal Power
Commission given authority to mod.
ify the Tyler plan under which the
committee Is considering the pro-
posal, SO as to increase the maxi.
mum amount OF energy, either by
the provision Of additional storage
space or more efficient power

Under his bill the lessee would
take the plant at an annual rental

cost Of the dams, storage reservoirs
and land. The lessee would construct
al the necessary plants and e4ulp-
ment aside from the dams AMI

range for distribution of the current
IN Washington at a cost to be fixed
by the Public Utilities Commisso,,,
The lessee would control any cur.
