They gently regu- late and cleanse the stomach, liver and digestive or- gans. When in my teens I was em- ployed where it was difficult for me to answer nature's calls, the result was I became con- stipated and would et times go for . days, without re- lef. As time went on I grew worse and would have severe bilious head- aches. My stomach would get sour and my mouth and throat became ulcerated.

ASK YOU 10 30 TO THE PATIENCE By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. HAVE just read an account of a recent speech of Governor Brews ter of Maine with reference to the development of prohibition 1n his state, which, according to the state- ment quoted, it took 25 years to per- fect. For years after the prohibition act was passed, the situation seemed hopeless. The sentiment in the state was almost equally divided; officers were elected who, if not pledged to ignoré the law, at least made it clear that they would do so. And yet con- stantly the sentiment grew in favor of enforcement, officials in time be- came more strict, and ultimately pro- hibition became a fact; and today the law is rigidly enforced as Governor Brewster is convinced it will in due time, if we will be patient and keep after it, be true of national pro hibition. The law has not failed, and he is sure it will not fail. Time is all that is necessary to prove this. I am reminded in this connection ot my old professor of German. Most of us in his classes had little familiarity with any language excepting our own and in many cases even English as it should be spoken was something near a foreign tongue. We were getting on very badly with our translations and when it came to pronunciation, the situation was little less than hope- less. But he was a patient old man and an experienced one. “It will come.” he used to say to the stammering, halting farmer boy. “It will come Patience and work will do it. It will come. The old man’s words have given me courage many a time during the years which have intervened since those far-away days. When | nave worked at something or with somebody for a long time without seeming to get any where, and faith and patience are about gone, 1 recail th: encouraging words of my old teacher, “Keep at it, and it will come.” Habits are not easily changed; cus tom and tradition have & tremendous hold on us, and when we attempt to change these we must not look for immediate nor for complete success, It was my job years ago to elimi Skeleton in Armor Found in Colorado Fort Morgan, Colo.—A skeleton, believed to be a Spanish officer of Coronado’'s expedition because of the kind of armor in which It was en- cased, was recently unearthed near La Junta, Colo., by M. 0.

Boliing field, used by army and navy flyers here, is a sizeable estab lishment. It is not only necessary to keep the turf in condition for planes to land or take off at any time, but to protect the conditioners, who must work in the field all day, every day. with their mule-drawn mowers. And a grass-cutting machine, which has never been noted for speed or agility, more damage than ft comes to grips with a delicately halanced can give even receives if it swiftly moving, airplane.

Red Cross estab- lished new records for human service during the past year. It goes before the American people this fall with an impressive account of its stewardship. Never in the history of the United States. has the country been scourged with so many disasters. With the devastating Mississippi flood heading the list of 77 catastrophes in this country, the Red Cross account of the relief provided and the hundreds of thousands helped, is the bright spot on a page of suffering. The Red Cross confidently expects to enroll 5, 000,000 members in November, when its annual “Roll Call” takes place. Not only the people of this country, but the people of foreign lands are grateful and proud of the Red Cross record of mercy. From Armistice day, November 11, to November 24, the American peo- ple will be afforded an opportunity to enroll as members, thereby showing n in Action. Saved Lives and Eased the Suffer- ings of Thousands. Red Cross Nurses They their appreciation of the great ma- chinery for relief which exists in America. Five million members—a modest mark when the greatness of America is considered. When disaster strikes, the Red Cross knows no sectional limitations. State lines vanish and all that con- cerns the Red Cross is Americans in need of help. The country itself did a magnificent job in stemming the tide of the mighty Mississippi. The people relied upon the Red Cross to act for them. It was a mighty dem- onstration of human service. Never was the definition of the Red Cross as expressed by the chairman, Judge John Barton Payne, more fitting. He clined, theirs is an opportunity to de- velop. a philosophy of patience. Whatever their inclinations, thev must. at least put into practice the credo of such a philosophy. After braving the perils of flying propellers te cut the grass, they must remove it from the turf.

About 50 of the freak potatoes were taken from sbove ground, but they were not very ‘'arge both position, with knees up against the chest, the way Indians buried their dead, but by the armor around the skeleton it is believed it was a Span- ish officer. The skeleton may have been identi- fied with Coronado’s expedition or he may have been an officer in Villazur’'s expedition in 1720, which was com- pletely annihilated by the Indians. With the skeleton were found parts of a lance, the barrel of a gun, ivory epaulets, a number of blue and white beads, and an old-time bullet ball with a hole through the center for string- ing on a thong. The site where the skeleton was found was debatable ground in the conflicts between France and Spain. The land in southern Colorado was the scene of many battles after the coming of Coronado’s expedition in 1540, and his attempt to civilize New Mexico resulted in the migration of the Indians into southern Colorado. Spanish officers were often assigned to round up these runaway and it is possible that the Spanish of- ficers whose skeleton was discovered was one sent om such a mission, and that he was killed in service. said: “The Red Cross merely ex- presses the sympathy and generosity of the American people in an organ- ized way.” Every day in the life of the Amer- ican people the Red Cross makes its influence felt. It has 3,000 separate organizetiens, known as chupters, ex- isting in cities and hamlets the length and breadth of the country. The men and women who compose the mem- bership are the leaders in their com- sands of domestic animals, cows, pigs, mules, ete, were housed and fed.

Indians, | The Greatest Mother in the World | is still looking out for her boys who | served in the army and the war. Nearly everyone has gotten the war—except the thousands of men out of luck by reason of old munity. Every chapter is prepared for an emergency, no matter what the description. The mid-western branch of the Red Cross is located at St. Louis, the Pacific branch at San Fran- cisco. The past year witnessed 25 states in need of disaster relief. Floods, fires, cyclones nnd explosions seemed to fol- low one another with a malicious per- sisténce. Never was the claim of the Red Cross to nation-wide support more clearly demonstrated than by the requests for aid from widely sep- arated sections. While the Mississip- pi floods were at their height, 12 oth- er serious disasters took place. Taxed to the utmost as it was in combating the results of the Mississippi flood, the Red Cross found the men and the sup- plies to send to other beleaguered communities. And just for good measure the pleas from 20 foreign countries for help were complied with also. The heart of the nation beat quicker at the sto- ries of suffering and devastation in the wake of the Father of Waters. Money and supplies poured in. At one time the Red Cross fed and housed 600.000 refugees. There were more than 100 refugee camps. Thou- Refugee Camp for Flood Sufferers, Located at Forrest City, Ark. wounds or recurrent injuries.

And the mentally shattered—doomed to a living death, most of them, look fo the Red Cross with a desperation born of despair. It is government has failed the boys. But government hospitalization is imper- sonal and aseptic because it must be, therefore the Red Cross supplies the warmth and the human touch that is essential if the ailing patient is to make an effort to recover. Every month of the year just past the Red Cross received requests for assistance from 73,000 disabled ex-service men. This means that many of the men were aided month in and month out. And just as long as they need help they know they are perfectly free to apply to the Red Cross. Small wonder the Red Cross has its loyal legions numbering admiring Americans. They heard from during the annual roll call, from Armistice day to Thanks- giving. And every enrollment strengthens the sinews and deepens the determination of the Red Cross to carry on. | The poor “frosh’ always gets it in the neck, due to the vigilance of the sophomores and other upper classmen.
