Delicious, Invigorating and Healthful Drink "There's a Reason" A FRIENDLY SMILE. (Dedicated to Mrs. M. Fields) Thou art as sweet healing balm, Which doth gently soothe and calm Bleeding, hungering, human hearts With an infallible art. Thou are life's sunlight; the way Of the toiler, making bright; Scattering darkness away With thine ever brilliant light. Thou liftest the load of care And thou doth help men to bear, Life, when it holds naught but pain, And death would appear a gain. And oft indeed dost thou dry The tear from the griever's eye, And by loos'ning sorrow's chain Bring back bright joy again. Unpleasantness melts away Before thee, as ice exposed To the sun, on summer day Will evaporate at once. Yes, friendly smile, men love thee, For thou their life shall e'er be. And, dear reader, I beg thee, That thou wilt in future try, If it in thy power lie To ne'er let one day go by, In which no fellow-exile Receives from the a kind smile. ROBERTA YOUNG, Opelousas, La.

April 7, 1917, a date I shall never s forget for it was on that day that my dear son, Joseph Ledoux, realiz ing that his country needed him, bid me farewell saying: "I'll be back in a few months. I'm going with the U. S. marines." Then conquer me must, For our cause it is just, y And this be our motto 't In God is our trust. And the star spangled banner lI In triumph shall wave, e O'er the land of the free, And the home of the brave. It was, for almost two years that I waited and prayed for his safe re s turn. My hopes were at their height. He had been severely wounded but was doing nicely; the fight was now won, victory was ours, so it seemed that now my boy was coming home. Finally a telegram came announcing his safe arrival in New York. Mothers, try to picture my happi s ness, but it was of such a short dura tion. A few days later came that terrible message announcing my boy's death. The pain seems almost unbearable; it is indeed heart-break ing, my heart is indeed filled with sorrow. I wanted my boy to come back to me and to think that he came back a corpse is indeed hard for a gray-haired mother to bear. I know he gave his life for a worthy cause, but still I miss him. A requiem mass will be said on e Miy 23 at 9 o'clock and the presence of my friends will be greatly appre ciated. HIS MOTHER. For Constable.
