WORLD’S DEBT TO UNKNOWNS
Fitting That Services Rendered to Hu
manity by the Anonymous Should
Be Properly Recognized. i
'
Underlying the splendid tributes of;
Prance and Great Britain to two un
known soldiers, as symbols of all the
unknown heroes of the war, is a
thought that should find more general
application in times of peace.
It is something new for
soldiers to be buried in Westminster
and under the Arch of Triumph. State
burial was once reserved for marshal*
and generals and conspicuous heroes. 1
among military men. It is only just
that the victory of democracy over au-j
tocracy should make such a difference,'
and it is only natural that an anony-j
mouß soldier should symbolize common
service in war.
Such service has always been anony
mous, but the anonymous have not
previously been so honored. Common
service of an official character is usu
ally performed by men in uniform —
whether as soldiers, policemen, fire
men or sailors —who for the most part
remain anonymous. When one of these
millions of official servants steps out
of tibe usual routine and performs ex
traordinary service and becomes a
her*, the public demands his name.
Not that it matters; the deed is the
important thing, but henceforth the
name and the deed are associated.
Otherwise the anonymity of the hero’s
service is preserved.
Some years ago Dr. Nehemiah Boyn
ton made an interesting address In
which he emphasized the debt we
owed to the anonymous in all walks
©f life. Unofficial service is but
slightly less anonymous in character
than that of persons in uniform. We
live in an interdependent world, yet
we know but a handful of people out
of countless millions. Life is sailed on
an anonymous sea, and it is only once
In a while that we speak a friendly
ship. “What's in a name?” might be
rendered “Why a name?” A rose with
out any name at all would delight us
still. —Brooklyn Eagle.
You Can’t Dodge It

I RUNS DOWN.
I
i
j THEN TAKE PEPTO-MANCAN.
i ■
YOU’LL PICK UP AGAIN QUICK
, LY WITH PLENTY OF RED
BLOOD CORPLSCLES.
!
Physicians nowadays take a blood
test when you are run down. They
| count the red corpuscles in your
blood. If these are too few they
give you a tonic for your blood. It .
happens right along. They are al
ways on the lookout for indications
of weak blood.
Why? Because they know when
-your blood is weak your resistance
to disease is low. Your vitality and
energy quickly run down.
You can tell wnen your blood is
wqak. You look pale, feel tired.
You are not ill, but you don’t feel
right. You don’t want to do things.
That’s the time to take the well 1
known tonic, Pep'o-Mangan.
Pepto-Mangan builds red blood
corpuscles. , Physicians have pres
cribed it for thirty years.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in liquid and
tablet form. The medicinal value is
exactly the same. Take either kind
you prefer. But be sure you get the
genuine Pepto-Mangan—Gude’s. The
full name—Gude's Pepto-Mangan—
should be on the package.—Adv.
