Cardinal Gibbons Says
James Cardinal Gibbons, the
leading Catholic churchman in
America, has Issued a strong ap
peal In support of the United War
Work Campaign.
"It is an American campaign,” he
said. “Its appeal is one that no
American may refuse. America's
answer will be another triumphant
announcement that we are in this
war as one people and as one na
tion to see it through to victory.
Into the splendid work of sustain*
lng the morale of our fighting men
the great social organizations of
Americu have thrown themselves.

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander Evangeline Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.
Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
er of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly railed
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for Frame. The request
is contained in a report just received
by her from Col. William A. Barker
of the Salvationist forces, whom she
sent to France over a year ago to es
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops.
“We will <lo nil we can to HU this
demand,” said Commander Booth when
discussing tlie approaching United
War Work Campaign, “and the need
itself should Impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work of the seven or
ganizations, besides the noble Bed
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensible, serving its particular
elements in its own way.
“The Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase of human mis
ery and how to cope with it. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
“We are of the common people, and
we toil on a practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do It in the
Boer war. when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered It
out to the end. We have been tried
by Are, and the mothers and fathers
of America, as In other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men If
they hut had the chance.
“With 1,210 trained workers at the
front, operating from 420 huts and
dugouts, tlie Salvation Army Is doing,
has done and will continue to do Its
best for the cause of humanity and
Liberty.”
CURE FOR BLUES
NEAR THE CAMPS
Community Service Takes Place
of Mother, Friends and
Home for Soldiers.
Ten young officers of the Student
I Army Training Corps of the Unlversi
| ty of Detroit recently applied for a
furnished house and n housekeeper
who would not be a servant, but, as
I one young officer expressed it, “the
sort of woman to whom the boys can
1 call out ‘Hello, mother!’, when they
‘ come in the front door.”
Homesickness is the malady for
which War Camp Community Service
supplies innumerable cures.
“We’ve got your number.” says the
W. C: C. S. to the homesick boy from
camp with leisure to spend in any one
of the three hundred towns scattered
over the country. While lie's wonder
ing what on earth he'll do with him
self w hen he gets there, not knowing a
soul in town and with a limited per
centage of his “thirty per" In Ids pock
et, along comes a friendly printed card
from the local branch of ids ow n lodge
announcing a reception that night es
pecially for soldier members. Hy the
same mail the Methodist church sends
an announcement of all its meetings,
addressed to him, with This Means
You printed at the bottom. How did
they know lie was a Methodist?
He had forgotten about the little
“Personal *Card” lie made out at the
adjutant’s request during Ids first day
in camp when it was only one of the
endless details in the round of dentists
and doctors and general confusion.
The W. C. C. S. had not only his num
ber, hut ids name and address, ids
home town, the name of the school
he'd gone to and a good bit about tlie '
tilings be was fondest of doing—euch
fact written into a little blank on iba
curd • specially for it.
MERCY MUNITIONS
NEEDED IN TRENCHES
Lieut. Coningsby Dawson. Fight
ing Author, Makes Stirling
Appeal for Y. W. C. A.
I.leut. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote
“Carry On," says of the war work
which the Y. W. C. A. Is doing: "You
at home cannot tight with your live!*,
hut you can fight with your mercy.
I he Y. W. C. A. is offering you Just
this chance. It garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind ttie
men's. It asks you to supply them
"’Ith munitions of mercy that they
limy lie passed on to us. We need
such supplies budly. Give generously
that we may the sooner defeat the
Hun."
What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y.
W. C. A. he might have said of ail the
national organizations which are cgrn
imr Together for the bitterest financial
campaign that organizations have ever
headed. All the $170,7.00,000 to be
raised by the seven great national or
guritzations the week of November IT
will be used to garrison and supply
the support trenches behind tire lines.
They are tire Y. M. C. A., the Y. W.
C. A., the National Catholic War Coun
cil, Jewish Welfare Hoard, American
I.ibrary Association, War Camps Com
munity Service and Salvation Army.
American girls In various uniforms
mingle strangely with picturesque
Brittany costumes in France. The
American \. \\. C. A. has a hostess
house in Brittany where tire Signal
Corps women live and a hut where
the nurses spetjd their free time. Both
these centers are fitted with many of
the comforts and conveniences of
home.
“At a tea given at the nurses' hut
one Saturday afternoon,” writes Miss
Mabel Warner, of Salina, Kansas, Y.
W C. A. worker there, “there was an
odd gathering one admiral, a bishop,
a Presbyterian minister, a Roman
Catholic priest, a doctor, an ensign,
one civilian und myself."
First Victory Boy’s Work.
“Say, I'm wise to you, all right,” n
Western Union messenger boy whls
part'd to one or tire u<rectors or me
United War Work Campaign in tire
New York headquarters. The direc
tor's desk had only Just been mover!
In and the work of the big drive had
hardly begun.
“I’m onto yonr stunt,” the boy went
on ns he swung a grimy fist over the
ilesk ; "you’re goln’ to give us fellows
that ain't old enough to go to war a
chance to earn un' give to back up a
tighter an' help win the war. Listen ;
I’m in on this.”
The crumpled $5 bill he dropped on
the desk made him the first of “a mil
lion boys behind a million fighters"
who are to be lined up as Victory Boys
during the week of the drive.
There will be a division of Victory
tlirls, too, and every boy and every
girl enrolled will have to earn every
dollar be or she gives to the war work
fuud.

functions without aid. hor this purpose only
the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used.
1 he use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble
and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlain’s
