J 1ST THE OXE UX1T OF WOE
Touching the greater burdeu
which war imposes upon the wo
man, Dr. Anna Howard Shaw elo
quently visualizes the one unit of
woe—the one slaughtered son oil
the field of blood.
Dr. Shaw was speaking at Pitts
burg and turned ner attention to
some of the scoffing comments up
on the peace gathering of women at
The Hague; particularly that which
takes the form of the query: "What
do women know.about war?" Dr.
Shaw had read a newspaper head
line which run: "Two Hundred and.
Fifty Thousand Dead," and she
ruade that serve as a text for her
answer to the question.'.
"I can visualise one dead man,"
said this eminent w-oman, "his
white face upturned on a battlefield,
and I can think back to some wo
man in his native country. Twenty
years of her life she -has given to
produce that soldier;* twenty years
of toil aud weariness, and some
times of augui9h to bring him to
manhood, and he is the realisation
of her womanly ambitions. And he
lies dead. MultiDly the*grief ' of
that one mother by 250,000 ' and
you may conceive the significance
o* the ravages of nar in terms of
: uman suffering. Th?n ask, if you
will, what women know about war!"
There is the whole world epic of
war eloquently portrayed in ~ the
suffering of the woman—the mother
o' the son who was the dimpled
baby; the sprgihUy, mischievous
>oungster; the fair-browed, clear
eyed boy in his teens; the strap
l'iug, ma.ily young fellow on whom
fond mother expected to lean as on
a staff in her old age. Nothing left
of him save a piece of cold and
blood-stained clay which the mother
will never see, and the memory of
what he wis and what she hoped
he would be.
This one unit of woe by reason
of war is the eloquent summing up
of the misery it inflicts upon the
woman.
XATI"RE ST1LI. KIX1)
So fax nature remains kind to
the nations which are In great
n- ed of bountiful harvests lest they
suffer from lack of food. As the
spring advances the reports from
she growing wheat fields of the
1'iited States become increasingly
'adorable. The prospects for all
crops are as good as they could be
; t this time of the year. That is
true of Canada, also.
la Europe there is little com
plaint of the weather or of any
conditions affecting crop prospeote
which are not man-made. Early
reports from the wheat fields all
'he way 'iom France to Russia In
dicate a 'air. prospect, in proportion
to the acreage. Nature is doing its
i ar* generously, so far. .
British India, one of the great
wutat-growing and wheat-exporting
countries of the world, shows more
definite results because the season
is much farther advanced. The
harvest is going on and the wheat
croo is being secured under condi
tions so favorable that recent
estimates of the yield ar® believed
to be far too small. The latest
figures are about 385,000,000
bushels against 313,000,000 bushels
iast year. It is believed that 75,
000,000 bushels can be exported.
But nothing that nature can do
tvill offset the cutting down of the
area sowu to grain in soma coun
tries of Europe Tlie weather can
not heal or cover the wounds of
war so Tapidly that Europe can
possibly produce the usual quantity
of breadstuffs. All of the wheat
and other grain that the United
States may have to cell in the next
crop year will be urgently needed.
Strong Women of This
Country Actuated by
Religious Motives
By HELEN CHRISTINE BENNETT,
" Author
THE prominent women in this
country today are working not
. .for fame oor-glory nor for
rhe joy'of personal expression, BUT
BECAUSE- THEY BELIEVE
THEY AEE DIRECT AGENT9
OF GOD AND MUST MINISTER
TO IDS PEOPLE'
As I am neither a religious nor a
sentimental person, the knowledge
of this belief, forced upon me after
many interviews and visits with
prominent women, has had a pro
found effect.
1 have often noticed the differ
ence between the attitude of men
who have done things and women
who have done things. Men are
never willing to ascribe their
achievements to any power bntt'ltfcir
own. .. '•••? 5*'
THE WOMEN, ON THE OTHER
HAND. VIEW THEIR WORK WITH
HUMILITY. THEY GIVE GOD THE
CREDIT FOR IT AND AF^E CON
TENT THAT HE CHOSE THEM AS
f- N INSTRUMENT. ^

Comforting Words
Many an Alaskan Household Will
Kind Tbern So.
To have the pains and aches of a
bad back removed—to be entirely
free from annoying, dangerous ur
Ljiry disorders, is to make any
kidney sufferer grateful. The fol
lowing advice of one who has suf
fered will prove comforting word3
to hundreds of Alaskan readers.
P. E. Sanderson, 819 First St.,
San Diego, Cal., says: "A severe at
tack of la grippe laid me up for
five weeks. My back got very pain
ful, lame and weak. My kidneys
were in bad shape. 1 felt all
run down. 1 read about Doan's Kid
uey Pills and got a box. They
fixed me up all right. Whenever 1
have taken cold on my kldneeys
since, I have used Doan's Kidney
Pills. They have always brought
good results "
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
dimply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mr. Sanderson had. Foster
