JOHN E. MILLER.
Mr. Miller was appointed by President Wilson to take cliarge of the
; American Red Cross War Fund in the territory ivestofthe Mississippi.
If you are a real tAmerican you' must contribute to the. War
Fund of the Red Cross during the week of. June 18th to 25th,
whether you believe yourself able or not. If you are a real Amer
ican it is not a question of giving from your surplus you must give
.and keeping on giving until you can give no more, and, even after
that, you must keep on.
We are at war, but we do not realize what war is, and if the
Red Cross is able to do its full duty, we will never know what war
can be.
. Do you know what the Red Cross does? Some day, "Some
where in France" when our soldiers are in the trenches, a line of
American boys will leap over the top of their trenches, slip through
the barbed wire, and, in face of high explosive shells, gas, liquid
fire, sharpnel, grenades, machine gun and rifle fire, face1 the barb
ed wire in front of the enemy trenches for the bare chance of
meeting bayonet with bayonet, other boys no more to blame for
this war than they are.
You know what the loss will be. You know that after Ypres
the Princess Pats had. only 127 men alive out of the 689 that saw
the sun come up that day.
What of the fallen ? If the Red Cross is ready, the Ambulance
-Corps of the fighting regiments will carry the woui ded back
through the communicating trenches to the dressing station. Here
Red Cross surgeons, under the direct control of the United States
Medical Department will give first aid. The wounded will be turn
ed over to Red Cross ambulances, and carried back to the Red
Gross field Hospital for immediate attention. From the Red Cross
Field Hospital, Red Cross ambulances, Red Cross trains and, in
France, even Red Cross canal boats will carry the men back to the
Red Cross base hospitals. If the wound is not i atal i Red Cross
convalescing station will take care of the soldies till he is ready to
go back to the front. If the man is disabled a Red Cross steamer
will bring him back to America, and the Red Cross receiving sta
tion here will care for him, send him home and on top of that look
after his family after iie is woundea just as ic will ";h'ave looked
Do you know what this means? In the old days before the
Red Cross came, 600 soldiers died out of every 1000 wounded.
Today under proper conditions the percentage is not over 5 perct.
If your boy. was wounded every dollar you have in the world
would go willingly to put him in the Red Cross hands. Sixty
thousand Los Angeles boys registered June fifth for the draft.
How many of them will require Red Cross aid within the next
two years?
The Red Cross is not a hit or miss organization, grabbing a
dollar here and a dollar there and wasting the money. It is one of
the five offensive and defensive arms of every civilized govern
ment on the face of the earth.
Every dollar that comes in is spent by the best business men
in America for supplies and materials designated by the Medical
Department of the United States Army the Department that has
stamped out yellow fever as well as other great national scourges.
Ex-President Taf t is the Chairman of the Red Cross. A part
ner in the house of Morgan is its Financial Chief. Its accounts
are audited by the War Department. Its existence and operations
.are directed under special Acts of Congress, and President Wilson
himself, by executive order, established the Executive Committee
under which the Red Cross is now being managed.
The Red Cross is therefore a part of the fighting forces of the
Government and must be supported as such. This support will be
easy enough to get when that support is too late. Let the foil of
one battle mount as it often does to 25,000 men or more! With
the hospitals overcrowded and our own men dying"for want of at
tention, the response to the Red Cross call will roll in fast enough
but then it will be too late.
Don't you be one of those to hold back until that time. Don't
be a, slacker. You inevitably will contribute, Why not now?

Cholera Morbus.
This is a very painful and dan
gerous disease. In almost every
neighborhood someone has died
from it before medicine could be
obtained or a physician summon
ed. The right way is to have a
bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and
Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so
as to be prepared for it. Mrs.
Charles Enyeart, Huntington,
Ind., writes. "During the sum
mer of 1911, two" of my children
were taken sick with cholera mor
bus. I used Chamberlain's Colic
and Diarrhoea-"Remedy and it
gave them immediate 'relief.

j Whooping Cough.
j In this disease it is important
"that the cough be kept loose and
expectoration easy, which can be
done by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Mrs. P. H. Mar-

daughters had whooping cough.
I gave them Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and it worked like a
charm." Adv.

Quite frequently you hear the
remark by some people that
thre is nothing in theloc 1 paper,
and these same people when they
know a good news item are not
accommodating enough to tell

of every citizen of the town to
help make his home paper worth
while.

YOUR PRESIDENT SAYS:
White House, May, 1917. "I have today created within the
Red Cross a War Council to which will be entrusted the duty
of responding to the extraordinary demands which the pres
ent war will make upon the services of tneRed Cross both in
the field and in civilian relief, and I hereby earnestly call up
on all who can contribute either great sums or small to the
alleviation of the suffering and distress which must inevitably
arise out of this fight for humanity and democracy, to contri
bute to the Red Cross.
"Therefore, by virture of my authority as President of the
United States, and as President of thf American Red Cross,
I, Woodrow Wilson, do hereby proclaim the week beginning
June 18th, 1917, as a Red Cross week, during which the peo
ple of the United States will be called upon to give generous
ly and in a spirit of patriotic sacrifice for the support and
maintenance of this work of national need."

Sour Stomuch.
This is a mild form of indiges
tion. It is usually brought on by
eating too rapidly or too much,
or of food not suited to your di
gestive organs. If you will eat
slowly, masticate your food thor
ougly, eat but little meat and
none at all for supper, you will
more than likely avoid the sour
stomach without taking any med
icine whatever. When you have
sour stomach take one of Cham- j
berlain's Tablets to aid digestion.
