"OLD GLORY"
"Aaoerica For Americans"
SPIRIT OF GIVING
The nation has been slow in
awakening, but the press brings
us daily evidences ot the new spirit
wl *iviag ia America. Thousands
ot ti:# men of great business affairs
iiATia la't as:de their personal work
aad encased in the service of the
*overnment a; Washington, and
largely without pa£. Thousands of
th« men to whom the daily living
cuit only with the daily labor have
aasumed the hazard of their lives foi
Uncle Sam, Men of wealth are
laying their riches on the altar of
country. Here is Henry ford paci
fist ox pacifists, turning over his
Stmt factories to government ser
Ytew; a man yith an income ot
l|u,uu0,uui/ to $20,00i»,u0y a year
laying it all at the feet of L'ncle
Sam. and saying: "Here it is, you
can have everything I've got." And
Um performance has been duplicated
by thousand of men of less wealth.
In another direction, the churches
are giving evidence of the new pa
triotism. Without exception, all
of the well-known religious bodies
are on record as ready to do their
limit 'or the nation. Cardinal Gib:
ibons and Ireland, the great arch
bishop of St. Paul, are notable In
stances of the abundant patriotism
of the men of religion. The Metho
dist bishops and the leading clergy
men of other sects have given sim
ilar evidences of their national
l«lth. Nor it is fairh alone, but
worki. iL> I
The New York diocese of the
JBplscopal church has, for twenty
or more years, been erecting a great
rathedrai in the metropoils. . Al
ready many millions of dollars have
been expended upon it, and many
million more will be expended be
fore It is completed. The announce
ment wa» made a few days ago that
further c instruct ion wuold be stop
ped during tne war. The church au
thorities and people d sire that cin
atructlon funds be devoted to the
■war support ot tie naticn. A simi
lar helpful epirit is apparent in all
the religious bodies.
Heie and there, one at a time,
And bo me ti mas in bunches, we -ire
all getting Into the war. When we
are all in, all puling together all
doing our utmost, then indeed Am
erica, will be ready.—Seattle P.-I.

Mine eyes have seen the glory of the j
coming of the Lord:
He is trampling out the vintage where j
the grapes of wrath are stored;
He hath loosed the fateful lightning of
his terrible swift sword:
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of
a hundred circling camps;
They have builded Him an aliar in the
evening dews and damps;
I can read His righteous sentence by
the dim and flaring lamps.
His day is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel, writ in bur
nished rows of steel:
"As ye deal with my contemners, so
with you my grace shall deal;
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush
the serpent with his heel.
Since God is marching on."
He has sounded forth the trumpet that
shall never call retreat:
He is sifting out the hearts of men be
fore his judgment-seat.
Oh! be swift, my soul, to answer him!
Be jubilant my feet!
Our God is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
born across the sea.
With a glory in his bosom that trans
figures you and me:
As he died to make men holy, let us
die to make men free.
While God is marching on.

Help Your

Women of America:
Help your country; help the hun
gry wcmen and children across the
seas.
Wake to hte need of your efforts
to save the food which is so mighty
3 factor in the war.
A HUle thought, a little self
denial and you have proved your
natriotlsm. You have helped to
Kiadrlfiu the heart of some woman in
a foreign land whose child b pinch
ed and wan from hunger.
WU<-n. a general determines on a
great victory he does not ask hie
armv to go out individually and
kill a few of the enemy from time
to time
He massed his armies and plans
his campaign.
That is what the United States
Food Administration has done.
Hare you enrolled as a soldier?
In other words, have you signed
the pledge card of the United States
Food Administration?
Do your part. Sign at once. Keep
your pledge.

Housework Is
A Burden
Woman's lot is a weary one at
best. But with backache and other
distressing kidney ills life indeed
becomes a burden. Doan's Kidney
Pills have made life brighter for
many women. Read what Mrs. Roll
Cookston, of 1809 E. First Ave.,
Spokane, Wash., says: "The grip
put my kidneys out of order and
I suffered with a heavy dull pain
in the small of my back which kept
[ getting more bevere. Some days I
could hardly do my >vork for it was
almost impossible to bend over. My
kidneys were weak and annoyed me
a great deal, too. I was worried
because my feet swelled and because
of the puffiness under my eyes. One
box o£ Doan's Kidney "Pills gave me
relief and after I had used two
boxes I was feeling fine in every
way." (Statement given October
16, 1915.)
On June S. 1917M rs. Cookston
said: 1 have had absolutely no
trouble with my kidneys since Doaif)
Kidney Pills cured me and I feel I
better than I have in years."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't '
simply ask *or a kidney remedy— j
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same ,
that Mrs. Cookston had. Foster-Mil

The readers of this paper will b»
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science haa
been able to cure in all Its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh b"ing greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Medicine Is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System ther. by destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con
stitution and assisting nature In doing Its
work. The proprietors have so much
faith In the curative powers of Hall's
Catarrh Medicine that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that It fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.
