against her..
A trained nurse, Mrs. Butler, (
from the Rwerside Hospital in (
Bainbridge is with her.
She is under the careful treat
ment of Dr. W. Collie Hays, of <
this eity, and Dr. Keaton, of Da- t

Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. A. (
Tabb, have been with hei some;
but Mrs. Tabb has never had mea

at her age. She also dreads to ,
have them enter her home, as nine ;
or t<-n of the inmates have never <
had them.
The baby seems to be doing
nicely.
The residents of this section are !
deeplv interested in the battle be
ing waged for the recovery of- the
young wife and mother, and hun

I Was In It
When those of our hoys return
home from France
Who mused death in tho \.. i
awful toll,
Bliyd anti maimed and cripple,;
for life.
Rut ennobled in spirit and soul,
And they’ gather with friends
and tho dear ones at homo
Py the lire or on summer’s long
days,
And te I of the times they went
“over the trp”
In the early morn’s teze;
Should thdy ask vcit what you
were doing the while
In the world’s greatest war to help
win it,
Could you then look thorn right
square it. the eyes
And truthfully say, “I was in it’’?
Did'you buy all you coull of
Liberty bonds?
Freely aid tho great Y. M.C. A?
Did you give to tho American
Red Cross till it hurt
jOf your savings for your own rainy
day?
Did you plant? Did you reap?
Did you do nil you could,
From the first to the very last
minute?
If you did, you can say with the
boy home from France:
"We fought a great war; I was
in it.’’
- Price Cros«, in the Daily Times
Herald, Dallas, Texas.
“A Man”
“Business is business,” but men
are men,
Loving and working, dreaming,
Toiling with pencil, spade or pen,
Roistering, planning, scheming.
"Business is business”-but he’s a
fool
Whose business has grown to
smother
His faith in men and the Golden
Rule,
His love for a friend and brother.
“Business is business”-but life is
life;
Though we’re all in the game to
win it,
L-l’srifct f: im-time for the heat
amt strife
And try to be friends a minute.
Let’s seek to be comiades now and
then
And slip from ourgoldeu tether,
‘3'jeiiiess is business,” but men are
men, i
And we’re al! good pals together!
