Why Tries Qglomslf
Dr. Thacher’s Liver & Blood Syrup
wili do all that calomel will do and
without the “after effects.”
Year? ago, wh a n people were bilious,
wuen tiie liver got lazy and failed to do
it* work or the stomach was out of
condition, calomel was the standby.
By and by the users of calomel found
that the “alter effects” of taking the
drug w ere as bad and more often worse
than the ailment for which it was
taken.
I)r. Thacher, in seeking a medicine
to take the place cf calomel—one that
would do ail the good that calomel
would do, and yet leave none of its evil
effects perfected Dr. Thacher’s Liver &
Blood Syrup. This was in 1852, and
each year since has added to the confi
dence of those who have used it.
Miss Susie Brewer, of Chattanooga,
Tenn., tried calomel. She was suffer
ing with a very serious cold and grippe
and had no appetite whatever. After
the calomel failed she tried Dr. Thach
er’s Liver & Blood Syrup. She felt
better after taking three doses and she
soon got entirely well. ‘I think Dr.
Thacher’s Liver and Blood Syrup is a
wonderful medicine,” she said, “and I
am very thankful I tried it.”
for nearly three quarters of a century
this sterling preparation has been an
“old stand-by” in thousands of homes
in treating rheumatism, dyspepsia, in
digestion and other stomach and liver
complaints. It is a powerful tonic and
blood purifier and can be used with
the utmost confidence.

EASING IKE GASES
OF SGLGIEIiS' FAMILIES
The ten thousand Home Service Sec
tions of the American Red Cross, in
their work of looking after the fami
lies of the enlisted men, are doing won
ders for the morale of the army. Our
fighters are not men who are going to
worry about themselves, but if they do
not get cheerful letters from home, or
if anything goes wrong there, they are
going to worry, and that delicate thing
the army men call morale is going to
be disturbed. It is to safeguard
against this and also to prevent need
less suffering and to promote that spir
it of neighborliness and kindly aid that
binds each community into an organic
whole that the Home Service was or
ganized.
Over 50,000 workers are serving on
these ten thousand committees, which
reach into every corner of the country,
however remote. Not a town or vil
lage or crossroads that is not within
reach of the Red Cross; not a wife or
child or mother of a man in service
who cannot claim the ready aid of the
Red Cross workers.
More than 300,000 families of Ameri
can soldiers and sailors have been re
lieved of money troubles, legal difficult
ties and worries of all sorts by the
protecting arm of the Red Cross. If
the allowances of allotments under the
War Risk Insurance law do not come
the matter is at once referred to Red
Cross Headquarters, taken up with the
proper government bureau and prompt
ly straightened out. If, through the
delay, the family finds itself in need
of money sums are advanced to tide it
over until the allotment arrives. Dur
ing July over sixty thousand inquiries
of this kind were received, and more
than a third of these were taken clear
through to headquarters before they
could be straightened out.
FOR ITALY'S BABIES.
Motherhood in Italy just now is not
the joy that it might be, for the poor
women are at tlieir wits to clothe
the children already in the family, not
to mention the preparation for the lit
tle newcomers. Perhaps the most ap
preciated gifts of the American Red
Cross at this time are the layettes
which are being given to the mothers
of Italy. Each layette consists of
twenty-four pieces and includes four
bright colored swathing bands, so dear
to the heart of the Italian woman.
Twenty layettes a week are needed at
Cbioggia alone.

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. S. to the homesick hoy from
camp with leisure to spend in any one
of the three hundred towns scattered
over the country. While he’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 that night es
pecially for soldier members. By 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’ he was a Methodist?
He had forgotten about the little
“Personal Card” he made out at the
adjutant’s request during his first day
in camp when it w T as 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, but his name and address, his
home town, the name of the school
he’d gone to and a good bit about the
things he was fondest of doing—each
fact written into a little blank on th«
card especially for it.

Tuberculosis Experts Sent by
Red Cross Will Use Lat
est Methods.
Included in the unit of medical and
lay workers which the American Red
Cross has sent to Italy are a number
of the leading anti-tuberculosis work
ers of the country, sponsored by the
National Tuberculosis Association.
Dr. William Charles White, who heads
the unit, is medical director of the
Tuberculosis League of Pittsburgh,
and Dr. Robert H. Bishop, the assist
ant director, is secretary of the Anti-
Tuberculosis League of Cleveland as
well as health commissioner of that
city. Dr. John 11. Bowman of Cleve
land, a former president of the Na
tional Association, is another promi
nent member of the unit. Others are
Dr. Robert G. Patterson, secretary of
the Ohio Tuberculosis Association;
Seymour H. Stone, until recently sec
retary of the Massachusetts Anti-Tu
berculosis League; Dr. Gertrude Stur
gis, secretary of the New York City
Association of Tuberculosis Clinics,
and N. A. Nelson, superintendent of the
Cincinnati Anti-Tuberculosis League.
These men and women, at the re
quest of the Italian government, will
co-operate with that country in apply
ing the latest approved American
methods for combating the spread of
tuberculosis. Some of them will l>e
charged with the establishment of
clinics where people of all ages may
be examined and treated; others will
devote their attention particularly to
preventing tuberculosis among chil
dren, and a third group will develop
health publicity and education.
It is to the credit of the anti-tuber
culosis campaign in America that it
has produced specialists of such inter
national standing that Italy wishes to
call them into her service temporarily.
But the campaign will he continued
unremittingly here at home. Its sup
port during the ensuing year will be
derived not as heretofore from the
sale of Red Cross Christmas Seals, but
by a special appropriation made by the
Red Cross to the National Tuberculo
sis Association. Tuberculosis workers
on their side will line up with the Red
Cross in its Christmas Roll Call for
universal membership.
