The Long Arm of Mercy
By DR. FRANK CRANE
The Red Cross is the Long Arm of Mercy.
It is the Kindness of Mankind—organized.
In Man is an Angel and a Devil, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr
Hyde. The Red Cross is the Good, aroused, energized tc
thwart the Bud.
It is the best antidote we know to the bane of war.
There are other Charities, more or less helpful. The
Red Cross is the mightiest of all Charities, the Love and Pity
of all men made supremely efficient.
If, as Emerson said, "sensible men and conscientious
men all over the world are of one religion," this is the ex
pression ofthat religion.
The Red Cross is Humanity united in Service.
It asks no man's opinion; only his need.
Black or White, Friend or Foe, to the Red Cross there
is no difference; it only asks: " Who is Suffering?" And
to him it goes.
The Red Cross is so Efficient that Governments recog
nize it; so Pure in its purpose that whdever wishes well his
fellow men, desires to help it; so Clean in its administration
that the most suspicious can find no fault in it.
The Red Cross not only seeks to alleviate the cruelties
of War; it is the expression of those human sentiments that
some day will put an end to War.
It is the impulse of Love, striving tö overcome tKe im
pulse of Hate.
It is Mercy's co-operation struggling against War's ri
valries.
It is the one Society in which every Man, Woman and
Child should be enrolled; for it knows no sects, no preju
dices, no protesting opinion; the human"being does not live
^hat does not feel that the starving should be fed, the sick
ftnded and the wounded healed.
Majestic and divine is this Long Arm of Mercy; it finds
t*e fallen on the battlefield, it brings the nurse and the
physician to the victim in the hospital; it leads the weeping
orphan to a home; it feeds the starving, cares for the pest
switt^VM^oU others abandon, and pours the oil of Help
and bitter wounds of the World.
Where avmcano has wrought desolation in Japan, or a
Flood in China, or a Hurricane in Cuba, or a Famine in
Ind t. or a P ague in Italy, or ravaging Armies in Poland,
Serna or Belgium, there flies the Red Cross, the Angel of
God whom tha fury of men cannot banish from the Earth;
and to the Ends of the Earth, over all the ways of the Seven
Seas, wherever is Human Misery, there is extended, to bless
and to heal, its Long Arm of Mercy.
The Crescent Drug Company is
if* the Red Cross work, too.
The Methodist ladies will give
a bazaar Wednesday 22nd in ti e
J. S. Singley store. Dinner and
supper will be served at nominal
snm.

ABOUT RHEUMATISM
Rheumatism causes more pain
and suffering than any other dis
ease, for the reason that it is the
most common of all ills, and it is
certainly gratifying to sufferers
to know that there is a remedy
that will afford relief, and make
rest and sleep possible. It is call
ed Chamberlain's Liniment.

AN ATROCIOUS CRIME
Last Friday in the McNan
quarters west of mili no. 2, F
Garcia, a mexican employed on
the plant, brutally murdered 1 is
wife.
Some of the workmen saw
them tussling in the yard and on
the run toward the mill but
j thought they were playing; but
! when some of them got nearer
they saw a most gruesom ? sight
in the stabbed and mutilated wo
man.
When Garcia and Ills wife
reached the lumber run he threw
her down and jut her thront
from eaa to e.ir; before that be
had stabbed her in the arms; sho
uiders and other parts of the
body.
The.motive for the. crime is va
riously stated: by some, that
Garcia said he was going to war
and he did not want any other
man to have libr as he loved her
so well: by others it is alleged
that she was unfaithful. What
ever the motive the murder was
most brutal.
After slaying bis wife Garcia
came to Clenmora and surrender
ed to mayor A G. Pi high 1 and he
was taken to Alexandria and pi
aced in jail that night.
As the jury is in session again
this week, his case, no doubt will
receive immediate attention at
the hands of the authorities and
he will receive such punishment
as his foul murder merits.
STATE ASSEMBLY
MEETS
The general assembly of Louis
iana convened Monday the 13th
inst. This session is of great in
terest to the stateas important
legislation under war conditions
will be considered, and as we
hope, with such thoroughness
that we will, at least, be found on
the side of the forces that uplift
and press forward.
Our government through its
proper spokesmens has asked
the state to pass such laws as
will protect our soldiers in the
camps in our bounds and thus
addtotheir health and efficiency.
Our state has been most liber
al in considering the needs of
our country and in responding
to the same; we look for our lead
ers in the assembly to maintain
this high regard for the nation
al interest over the interest of
the few or local and 'passing
things of the state. W r o trust
that thèy will not dissapoint us.
The reason our honor flag on
the third Liberty Loan drive has
not been awarded is bEeause we
doubled our quota and the star
which goes with the flag for dou
bling quota has not arrived. We
are assured that we will have the
flag with the star in a few days.
DO YOU ENJOY LIFE?
A man in good physical condi
tion is almost certain to enjoy life
while the bilious and dysqeptic
are despondent, do not enjoy
their meals and feel miserable a
good share of the time. This ill
feeling is nearly always unneces
sary. A few doses of Chamber
lain's Tablets to tone up the stom
ach, improve the digestion and
regulate the bowels is all that is
needed. Try it.
RED CROSS MEETING
Last Sunday afternoon, pur
suant to a call by the chairman
the Glenmora Branch, A. R. C.,
met at the Methodist church.
The attendance was gbod, and
the interest encouraging.
We have collected from all
sources over #500 and spent more
than §200 which leaves us a bal
ance of something like $300 with
which to work.
Plans were made for future
work and we are sure we will
meet our part of the #30,000 as
signed to Rapides parish.
We feel proud of our work and
feel sure that we will grow in
mind and service as we better un
der stand the work.

illion Dollars
Busiest Budget in Ail the World Is a Red
Cross War Fund—Every Dollar Spent
Alleviates Misery.
List summer the public subscribed
a hundred million dollars to the Red
Cross. At the latest statement over!
eighty-five millions of it had beeu ap
proprlated.
Where has it gone? you ask. For!
runny months the world libs boen!
spending over a hundred million dol
lars a day for the destruction of life, j
liinh and means of subsistence. Call j
up what you hove read about the war's j
devastation. The American Red Cross'
enormous Job Is to do whatever it can
to alleviate that—not after the war,
not after governments have deliber-i
ated and resolved; but right now, at!
the minute, on the spot. It's amazing
that It has done so much with 60 little
money.
Last autumn the Italian army fell|
back precipitately. On your war map
that inoairt rubbing out one line and
drawing another half an Inch further
south. Over there In Italy It meant
thousands of poor families fleeing from
their homes. Major Murphy, Red
Cross Commissioner in Europe, rushed
to the scene and wired: "Indescribably |
pathetic conditions exist, involving
separation of mothers and children, !
cold, hunger, disease, death." In No
vember and December the American;
Red Cross appropriated three million
dollars for relief there—a large sum, j
yet small in comparison with the need.;
Condensed Milk for Children. j
Soldiers are only a part of the Red
Cross' work—probably the pfnaiier
part. Every Instant, somewhere in the
vast flood of destruction, a hand
ranches up !n appeal. It i3 pretty apt:

THAT 22 RIFLE
Not a great while ago one of
our neighbors lost a good brood
sow. She bid not fall dead but
failed to eat andstarved to death:
the reason of it was that she had
been shot through the neck with
a 22 rifle ball.
Last Sunday another one of our
neighbors lost a good cow which
had been shot with a 22 rifle bul
let.
Now we do not know who own
these rifles, but we do know that
such malicious use of them is un
lawful and destructive and if it
can be proven who is thus guilty,
they should be taught the better
use of fire arms and to respect
the rights of other peoples prop
erty.
W r e feel that any one that would
shoot an unoffending hog or cow
would not mind trying his gun
from ambush on a man. We trust
these offenders will desist from
any more crimes of the kink men
tioned above.

must get condensed milk for the little
children here." The commission got
the milk. At one spot in France farm;
work was stopped by lack of horses. I
That meant more hunger. The Red
Cross got in a big tractor and set it !
to plowing for the community.
There are a million needs. Cold, 1
wet and the deadly physical strain of
the trenches undermine men's consti-j

Thirty Millions for France.
I have here a big sheaf of sheets
filled with figures. One item is thirteen
million and odd dollars—the amount
which, up to that time, l.ad gone to the
local chapters of the Red Cross in the
United States for local relief. Twenty
five per cent of the money subscribed
through the chapters eventually goes
that way.
Over thirty millions have been ap
propriated for work in France. Here
is a million and n quarter—in round;
numbers—for military hospitals and
dispensaries; over a million and a half
for canteen service, where French and
American soldiers, relieved from the'
trenches, can get good food, a cot, a j
bath, and have their clothes disinfected ;
—and so go on for their brief holiday |
clean, rested, nourished. There are!
over three millions for hospital supply!

Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are ail large items; but tha
Red < 'ross is grappling with human
misery on an unparalleled scale—a
world of it. The Item for relief of tho
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re
ceives and distributes more than tw<*
hundred tons of supplies daily at ParlB.
For this distribution and its other
work it requires a big transportation
s< i \ h e of motors and trucks. Thii
transportation service tins cost a miR
lion and a half, and Its operating tip
ponses run to a million dollars.
Every dollar it spends means miser
alleviated. Its work is building abroad
for the United States the best good will
In this world. It is building the bejft
good will among ourselves. Whatever
else the war may produce, we shall Wfc'
proud of our Red Cross. jp

• CAUSE OF HEADACHE
By knowing the cause, a dis
ease may often avoided. This i.s
particularly true of headache.The
most common cause of headache
is a disordered stomach or const i
pation, which may be corrected
by taking a few doses of Cham
ber lain 's Tablets. Try it. Many
others ha^'o obtained pc r rar neu t
relief by taking these tablets.
They are easy to take and mild
and gentle in effect.
