Ulrls' “Kara ancKGive" Division of the
1 ulted Work War Campaign to raise
$■1711,500,000 “for the boys over there1’

Through diocesan, county and parish
organizations, the rallying of one

to war in every community is already
under way. By their own earnings,
and not by contributions, it is expect

parislt throughout the Cnited States
are already being picked to represent
each fighting ar.tu who has left their
church for the front. In every home'
that Hies a service flag little brothers
and sisters, sons and daughters, are
eagerly volunteering to look out for
the share of their family flghter in the
huge Joint welfare campaign for ail
the boys abroad.
“No Americas May Refnse,”
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
ing the morale of our fighting men
the great social organisations of
America have thrown themselves.
The American people will raise the
sum they ask generously and
gladly.”
Helps
Sick
Women
Cardid, the woman’s
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: “1 had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
.. . and the pains were
very severe. A friend
to'.d me I had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui? ... 1 did, and
soon saw it was helping
ine . . . After 12 bottles,
1 am strong and well.”
TAKE
The Woman’s Tonic
Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered—it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tall you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

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 called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. 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 anil general war relief
work with the American troops.
“We will do all we can to till this
demand," said Commander Booth when
discussing the 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 Red
Cross, now merged for a drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each Is
indispensihle, 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
thnr 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 toll on a practical basis. We learn
ed the lesson of how to do it in ths
Beer 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, us in other countries, trust
the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men If
they but had the chance.
“With 1,210 trained workers at the
front, operating from 42(1 huts and
dugouts, the Salvation Army is doing,
has done and will continue to do its
best for the cause of humanity sod
Liberty.”
CURE FOR BLUES
NEAR THE CAMPS
Community Service Takes Place
of Mother, Friends and
Home for Soldiers.
Ten young officers of the Student
Army Training Corps of the Universi
ty of Detroit recently applied for a
furnished house and a housekeeper
who would not be a servant, but, as
one young officer expressed it, “the
sort of woman to whom the boys can
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. tv 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 when he gets there, not knowing a
soul In town and with a limited per
centage of his “thirty per" in his pock
et, along comes a friendly printed card
from the local branch of his own lodge
announcing a reception Unit night es
pecially for soldier members. B\ the
same mail the Methodist church semis
an announcement of all its meetings,
addressed to hint, with This Means
You printed at the bottom. How did
they know he was a Methodist?
He iiad forgotten about 1 lie little
“Personal *Card" lie made out at the
adjutant's request during his first day
in camp when it was only one of Hie
endless details in the round of di mists
and doctors and general confusion.
The W. C. C. S. had not only his num
ber, but his name and address, ids
home town. Hie name of tlie school
he'd gone to and a good lilt about the
tilings lie was fondest of doing each
fact written into a little blank on Um
card especially for it.
MERCY MUNITIONS
NEEDED IN TRENCHES
Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, Fight
ing Author, Makes Stir/ing
Appeal for Y. W. C. A.
Lieut. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote
“Carry On," says of the war work
which the Y. W. C. A. is doing: "You
at home cannot fight witli your lives,
hut you can fight with your mercy.
The Y. W, C. A. is offering you just
this chance. It garrisons the women's
support trenches, which lie behind the
men’s. It asks you to supply them
with munitions of mercy that they
may be passed on to us. We need
such supplies badly. Give generously
that wfe may the sooner defeat the
Hun."
What Lieut. Dawson says of the Y.
W. C. A. he might have said of all the
national organizations which are erm
ine together for the hiinreat financial
campaign that organizations have ever
handed. All the $170,500,000 to he
raised hy the seven great national 01
gani/atlons the week of November 11
will be used to garrison and supply
the support trenehes behind the lines.
They are the V M. (’. A., the Y. W.
•A., the National Catholic War Ooutt
eil. Jewish Welfare Hoard, American
l.ibrarj Association, War Camps Com
munity Service and Salvation Artji.v.
American girls In various uniforms

American \ W. C. has a hostess
house In Hrittany where the Signal
Corps women live and a hut where
the nurses spei*d their free time. Roth
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 Kalina, Kansas, Y.

odd gathering one admiral, h bishop,
a Presbyterian minister, a Roman
Catholic priest, a doctor, nn ensign,

First Victory Boy’s Work.
“Say, I’m wise to you, all right," a
Weatern Union messenger boy whis
perea to one or tut a 1 rectors or n>e
United War Work Campaign in the
New York headquarters, The direc
tor's desk had only just been moved
in and the work of the Ids drive had
hardly begun.
“I'm onto your stunt," rlie hoy went
i on as he swung a grimy fist over the
i desk : "you're goin' to give us fellows
j that ain't old enough to go to war a
chance to earn an’ give to hack up u
lighter an' help win the war. I.Uren ;
I'm in on this.”
The crumpled $5 bill he dropped on
the desk made hltn the first of "a mil
lion hoys behind a million lighters"
who are to he lined up as Victory Roys
during the week of the drive.
There will be a division of Victory
Rirls, too, and every boy and every
girl enrolled will have to earn every
dollar he or she gives to the war work
fund.
WHAT A SAILOR COSTS.
The cost of the United States Navy
per man per day doling the first six
months of the flecal year 1918 varied
from 49 cent* on the larger types of
vessels to 12 Cents on the smaller
types A $50 Liberty Bond will keep
a sailor for 102 days on the larger res
•els and for 90 day a on the smaller

LAXATIVE
v/or
Aged
People
THE BANE Of old age is constipation. The bow
els become weak and unable to perform their
functions without aid. Por this purpose only
the mildest and gentlest laxative should be used.
The use of harsh cathartics aggravates the trouble
and makes the constipation worse. Chamberlaiifs
Tablets are a favorite with people of middle age
and older on account of their gentle action.
