Before that time bounded soldiers were,either car­ ried to the rear by their Comrades or left unattended to and exposed until the fighting was over. Sur­ gical assistance did not reach the battlefield until the day after the engagement or even later, and for many of t h e ‘wounded it was then too fate. In l ? 92 Baron Dominique Jean Larrey of the French army intro­ duced his system of “ambulance, vq- lanles” or flying field hospitals, ca­ pable of moving rapidly from place to place. They gave primary sur­ gical treatment and removed the’1 wounded quickly from the field. Na­ poleon warmly "'supported Larrey, and the system was quickly brought to a high state of efficiency in the grand army. The "’actual founder .of the Red Cross society was Jean Henri Du- nant, a philanthropic citizen of Ge­ neva, Switzerland. On June 14, 1859, he chanced to be present at the battle of Solferino and was an eyewitness to the vast amount of unnecessary suffering that resulted from the inability of ’the regular surgical corps to aid the thousands qf wounded who lay upon the field. Three years later he published a book on his experiences at Solferi- no and advocated an international convention to provide for the aiding of the wounded in war. This con- , vehtion, which took place at Geneva in 1863, neutralized the surgical* corps of hostile armies and volun­ teer societies caring for the wound­ ed. As a compliment to Switzer­ land the' Swiss flag in reversed col­ ors—i. e,» a red cross on a white field—was .to be adopted universally and worn on arm bands by all mem­ bers of the neutral staffs. Geneva has been since that time the head­ quarters1of the International* Red Cross society.—Marie Widmer in American Review of Reviews. Grace Knivn. There is a. curious class of knives of the sixteenth century the blades of which have engraved on one side the musical notes to the benediction "of the table, or grace before meat, and on the other the grace after meat. These knives usually wept in seta of fo u r,' representing a four part harmony of bass, tenor, alto and treble. They were kept in an ' upright case of stamped leather and were placed before the singers ac­ cording to the adaptation of each one to his particular p a ri As may be supposed, the inscription Was usu­ ally in Latin, Thejnllowing speci­ men is taken from actual knives.of the period: “Pro tuis beneficiis Deus, gratias agimus tibi” (For thy, good gifts, 0 God, we thank thee). Deaden* the Note*. By pasting heavy tar paper to the concrete floor of a factory the thun­ dering noise of passing trucks can be eliminated. The floor is first giv­ en a coating of gray .cement painjl, and when that is dry a second coat­ ing is then applied. At the same time one side of a five ply tar paper is painted and when botli paper and floor are wet the paper is laid wet side down on the floor and rolled until all air pockets disappear. This gives a tar paper flooring which act­ ing as a muffler, deadens all noise from trucks or heavy vehicles.-* Popular Science Monthly. Run Down. Bloggs had .just bought a new dog and took Moggs to have a look a t it. They hung over the stable door and peeped at the puppy, who was twisting round and round in a . frenzied effort to catch his own fail. “What sort o’ dog do you call that?” asked Moggs. . “Oh," replied Bloggs, “I bought him for.a watchdog 1” “Oh, I seel” remarked Moggs. “I suppose he's Winding himself up now ?f'— New Orleans Times-Pica- yune. ^ ____ _ The Painter and tha Cobbler. To the painter Apelles, who flour­ ished in the time of Alexander, we are indebted, according to tradition, for one of our common phrases, The painter had listened with pa­ tience and profit to a cobbler's crit­ icism of the sandals in a picture. But when the cobbler began to en­ large the field Of his criticism to other parts of. the painting he re­ ceived this rebuko from Apelles, “Shoemaker, stick to your last,” Teba^ee, Penalties. The shah of Persia, in the seven­ teenth century, proclaimed that ev­ ery soldier in whose possession to­ bacco was found should have his lips cut, while in the same century Massachusetts ordered that no t>crson shall take tobacco publicly, and any one shall p a y i p c n n y f ° r every time he is convicted of taking tobacco in any place." * m w m s m NM*N A ler tn e ss o f Buyers for D ay ton S tores Now Benefits the People How well these men and women experts have’served their establishments in wholesale dealings with the manufacturers is proved beyond question by the offer­ ings in Dayton stores.

With the worship of her husband’s pat trlotlsm and bravery In her soul, the mother had brought the hoy up to be a straight thinking, straight acting youngster. I had watched the boy tgrow up, and I was proud of him. i ■ , / i When war was declared It did not take the boy long to make up hie mind that he ought to enlist, and his mother agreed with him, It was a perfectly natural decision for him to make. The training that he had received from hia mother, and his pride In his father’s devo­ tion to the country, made, any other course seem pitifully weak to the boy, and, besides, he had a keen appreciation of the justice of the cause for ..which the United States is fighting. He did not aek for advice as to himself.. He was perfectly clear about what he should do.; But he was disturbed about his mother. Was he doing’ right to leave her? Knowing both the boy and the mother as I did, 1 knew that after they had made up their minds anything that I might say would be useless. So after X had given the boy the usual good advice he left. , After he had gone I began to thin’- about, my own position. I had never thought very seriously about patriotism, but In a general way I regarded myself as an aver* age' patriotic citizen. Since the trouble with Germany started, I had "stood by the President,” I had had a. good deal to say about liberty and democracy, and the ne­ cessity of crushing Prussian mili­ tarism. I had also made a number of more or loss trite remarks about saving, and sacrifice: had even gage so far as to decide to get along with last year’s car, and 1 had made an "investment" in lib­ erty bonds. Bat I had done, npth- ing, nor had I contemplated doing anything th a t would interfere with my comfort. But here was this youngster— just beginning to feel the zest of life,'full of Bplendid enthusiasm for making his"life worth while, will­ ing to risk bis life In order thht the present generation and generations to come may live in peace and se­ curity. And here was this mother Willing to chance her la*t hope of happiness to help preserve the honor of her country. What right bad I to let this fine boy—and there is nothing finer under the sun than a ,clean-minded, red-blooded Amer­ ican boy—go' through the horrors of war while I made no sacrifice of consequence? What right had I to let this mother suffer, as I knew she would suffer, all through the long days and nights that her boy was away, and not do my bast to stop it? Altogether I did not feel very well pleaded with myself. 1 began to see that my patriotism was a good deal of an affectation. Then and there I made up my mind that I was going to make my patriotism mean something to me and to my country. My fighting days are over. I would only clutter up the trenches and get in the way of bet­ ter men, but I can help supply the funds that may end tblB war before the boy—the boy that I lore as my own son—Is killed or returned home a hopeless cripple, and be­ fore the last ray of sunshine fades from the mother's heart, and I am going to do this to the utmost of my ability.

MindYour Business By Caspar Whitriey of the Vigilante*, "Aw, I’ve got my own business to do," was the reply given me the other day In a smallish up state town by tha local bill poster. "Are you an American citizen?” 1 asked him.- "Yes,” said ha. "Pro-German?” . “No.” i "Believe In our government?’’ i "Best in the world.” : "Want to ee« our soldier boys win?” “Sure.” "Want to help them win?” “You bet” "Then put up these posters,” I fired a t him, "and put them up p. d. q., for the money which comes from tha sale of these bonds is used to equip .for fighting the boy you and all your town folk want to see wiu,” - Such is the spirit one meets often ,1a the country 'round—Indifference, stiang* ignorance In a land of schools and newspapers—until the native Sense of practicability is touched. Must our fathers and ’Sons and brothers oome hack to ue bleeding or dead before we can be more generally awakened to an understanding that this War of civilization against the barbarism of the Germans Is our war? That It Is for our safety, our freedom that our hoys have gone to fight—a safety we have enjoyed these issl three years In the shelter of'the great English fleet and the valor and .strength of the French and British MThat Is why you must support the government and buy these bonds; that is why the government’s business Is your business, the business of every man and woman worthy to enjoy the blessings of this great republic, >hemMeUe **.
