which is precisely what Christ de-
sires. Now the busy hands and feet
were still and they did, "even as you
and l." hurried off for the nearest
preacher-man who might give a ten
der word Of consolation in their hour
Of crying hearts. Of course he came
as swiftly as possible and listened to
the words of appreciation of her help
fulness among the poor. Then he
asked to be left alone with the dead.
What happened in that closed room? L?
The Lord of them both became very
real to the Apostle, so real that Life
seemed to thrust death aside and into
the bay of his faith swirled the tides
OF confidence that Jesus was willing
life instead of death and he would
surrender himself to it's drift. His
heart was aflame. He knew his Lords
presence. He leaped from his knees
and called her name and her eyes
opened and seeing him bending over

hand rose to her feet. Death skunk
out of the presence of Life and left

for all sorrowing hearts. And the
result was that many believed, not in
Peter, not in the church, but in the
Lord. And believing in Him found
death holding terror since life was
in Him.
With heart still thrilling with the
Spirit of Jesus Peter did an unheard
Of thing; he went home with a tanner
whose trade in deaths victims made
him unclean for Jewish association.
But Peter was in the mood to defy
death in any shape and was like boy
carried beyond himself in some hour
of exuberant triumph so that conven-
tions were swept aside for moment
and he slapped a dignifed professor
on the back as he would have done a
comrade in the class. Convention re-
turned but Peter, carried away for
one radiant moment, held as much
wonder in his heart over what might
happen next as any other boy who
had done something daringly uncon-
ventional under stress of great ex-
citement. And the next lesson tells
what it was.

time, or cast up suddenly and sacri-
legiously by some laborer's spade
that vision is not one to allay parental
anguish. On the contrary, dead though
that body be, so long as it has not
been laid to rest it seems to have
voice, a voice which cries out to loved
ones at home.
And here it must be remembered
that reported missing" does not nee
essarily mean that the soldier has been
killed. It yields room for hope, but
hope mingled with grave concern. He
may have survived, although badly
hurt, and that conjecture suggests the
possibility Of his lying helpless in some
hospital or wandering around Europe
bereft of strength and reason. Again,
he may have been neither killed nor
hurt. which opens up new field for
speculation and the fear of something
worse than death-deSertion.
What is being done to lift the veil of
mystery which enshrouds the missing?
Are they to remain officially forgot
ten? On the contrary, although it re-
quires time, skill and unremitting eff
fort, the work of tracing the names, Of
recovering the bodies, of repiecing in
some cases members that had been
scattered by shell bursts, of establish
ing the identity of the whole and Of
burying 1t finally alongside of the com,
rades with whom the "missing" one
had fought and died-all that is being
done quietly and diligently by the

r L IS one of the irOnies of a sol
dier's fate that he may be lion
i lied in a moment Of need, only to
be utterly forgotten after the
smoke of battle has cleared. Through
, out the world the tragedy of the sol
der ignored and neglected after he
has given the best of his youth and
vitality to his country is a spectacle
which distreSses the eye of even the
most casual observer, eX-MajOr Namm
of the Fifth division, A. E. F., writes,
in the New York Herald-Tribune. And
If it be so with the living, what must
1t be with the dead?
But the corollary does not neces-
sarily follow. SO far as America is
concerned, the dead are being cared
for. No one can visit the great ceme-
teries of the battle areas without re-
alizing the sanctity that is being pre-
served about the graves of the fallen,
ute that is being paid by tender hands
dedicated to that sole purpose. Row
upon row they lie there, like men In
profound sleep, content with their
martyrdom, yearning for no awaken
ing.
Only ,one thought comes to disturb
the peaceful picture. Unfortunately,
not all Of the dead are there. Some
of the fallen have not had the grace
of a decent burial. OF the seventy
odd thousand American soldiers who
died overseas more than two thousand
never have been located, and still are
being carried on the records of the
War department as reported miss
ing" And of all the phrases that
were flung into circulation by the war
none has been a more poignant source
Of pain, Of hope, of doubt than those
two words which announced the fate
Of boy to be unknown. To thousands
of American mothers and fathers that
phrase reported missing" has repeat
ed itself almost daily for the last
seven years. provoking all manner of
speculation, yet forbidding any def
mite conclusion.

in France. Each month brings the re-
covery Of more bodies; each week
brings a reduction, even though slight,
in the number of missing, and with the
continuance of this work under direc-
tion as intelligent and conscientious as
it has had in the past the time may
yet come when most of the missing
fears and doubts concerning them will
have been stilled
Many "UnknoWn."
The important work of searching
and accounting for the missing was
begun by the fields units section of
the Graves Registration service imme-
diately after the close of the war. The
task proved to be extremely difficult.
Records Of burial made under battle
conditions were not complete, for
bodies had been hastily inferred under
fire and the terrain had been subject
to many transformations. The first
search of the battle zone in the fall of
1918 and in the spring of 1919, there
fore, met with but little success.
1t was not until November, 1923,
that the Graves Registration service
became free to resume an organized
and systematic effort to search the
records for the missing, to recover un-
located bodies. At that time an officer
who mad seen four years Of service in
the field was detailed to the Paris Of
flee and placed in charge of the rec
Ords, investigation and research de-
partment He was especially equipped
for the task In that he had served In
the infantry and was thoroughly fa-
miliar with battle terrain, and also be-
cause he had a knowledge of anatomy
which was exceedingly useful in the
work of establishing identity between
dismembered parts, where a shell, as
often happened, had played particular
havoc with the victim.
Good Work Going On.
That officer organized a series of
units which are now serving in all the
battle zones where Americans fought
and under his direction the work has
progressed steadily and successfully
Unfortunately for the service, under
the operation of the "Manchu law"
which requires every officer to serve
one year out of five with troops, the
man who until recently was in charge
Of the task has been compelled to re-
turn to America. The work, however,
will be carried on by his successor.
From January 1 to July l of 1924
the units engaged in the search recov-
cred and established the identity OF
125 bodies, or at the rate of week.
They also recovered 20 bodies on
which Identification could not be es-
tablished owing to mutilation and cor
rosion that had taken place with the
passing of time
These results can only be regarded
as remarkable and foster the belief
that the time is not far distant when
the search for missing heroes of the
World war will be crowned with COM
plete success.

Vicks Has Become
Most Widely Used
Remedy for Colds
Over 98 Million Jars In
United States alone Dur
ing Past Five Years.

The continued confidence in
Vicks, year after year, of so many
American families, is a remark
able tribute to its efficacy as an
outside" remedy for cold troubles.
This confidence, as a matter Of
fact, now circles the globe. In far
off Australia, the isles of the
Pacific, in Europe, in Canada,
Mexico and the other republics
that lie to the south of Us, Vickg
is known and used.
Vicks is an effective "direct"
treatment for the cold troubles
of all the family. Used for Group
and chiIdren's colds it gives re-
markably quick results and saves
dosing delicate stomachs with so
much medicine.
On account Of its penetrative
and rubefacient effect on the
skin, Vicks will also be found
useful every day for cuts, burns,
scalds and bruises as well as for
itchings, muscular soreness and
headaches. It has justly earned
the name of "The Remedy of 100
Uses"
