lahoma speaking on her ezperiencea in
the “land of the stalking death"
“When we arrived ! in the earlj
spring of lllg" said Mias Pearson
“we found that jUrlran a city of nor
malljr 40 0M bad becoma a moving
population of over 100000 We found
several hundred refugee with scant

"Whom wo first arrived and hefors

Personnel house we were foroed te
use our back porch la a dialog room
Mias Gertrude S Pearson
1 “At each meal the porch was suit
rounded with creatures pitifully hold-
ing out thoir arms or leaning on a long
stick crying in their agony ‘Mother
Mother 1 Bread! Bread!’ Most of them
were too weak te say more
Completely Doped
Thh poppies of Flanders Fields not
alone have seen the misery of death
according to Miss Pearson
“Tho people had been living on
grass and herbs anything that they
could get hold of in our hospitals
many people were brought to ua who
wore unconscious (they were princi-
pally children) and whom wa discov-
ered had been feeding on the poppies
in the Held They were completely
doped
“Each morning the dead wagon aa
K was called a little two wheled cart
wont thru the Streets and about tho
town picking up the bodies dead sines
the day bafore
“For a long time wo- could find noth-
ing which would acooasmodato mors
than from 100 to 180 children and fin-
ally when we did find one larg school
building holding sis hundred) we were
delighted Before we knew tt ire bad

Shut In a boz car for three days and '
three nights Miss Pearson with siz
other young women - were jolted over
the rough mountain roadbed from Erl-
van to Alezandropol There the cars
were opened for a few moments and
then closed and the second stage of
the Journey for life began This time
tbe feeble worn-out locomotive wound
Its way through the foothills ot the
Caucausas mountains en route to PotL
Just before the train reached the
Junction where the road branebee to
Batum a gaunt balf-starved Armenian
boy of seventeen flagged the train to
a stop and Informed the frightened en-
gineer that the Bolshevlc forces had
concentrated on Poti and the workers
should be token to Batum wbero tha
Uaited States cruiser Pittsburgh Was
awaiting their arrival j
“Although our personnel house al- '
ways flew the American flag tbe stars
sad stripes never looked so good to
me as when we steamed iato the rail-
road yard at Batum and looking out
Into the bay we saw the Pittsburgh
with her funnels belching smoke and
there at the stern floating idly in the
breeze the flag that we so dearly love
And while we had been in the com-
pany of red-blooded American men
during our stay in this terror stricken 1
land yet the sight of that flit ot United
States marines drawn up on the beach
truly gava us all a thrill” said Miss
Pearson

Is Your Confidence
Well Founded?
If there’s a business in the world builded upon and sup-
ported by CONFIDENCE-it is the DRUG BUSINESS-
More especially the PRESCRIPTION BUSINESS
-This CONFIDENCE cannot be gained “Over night” it
takes YEARS of the very closest and constant application
to the Prescription Business to reach this end— ’Tis well
that this is true It is a “Necessary safeguard to the
Public”— After having gained the Public’s confidence—
the Druggist’s responsibilities correspondingly increase
since his Reputation is constantly “Balanced on the scales
with a human life”
We are ever mindful that' each prescription your doctor
phones us or you bring to us in person is an expression of
his and your CONFIDENCE and assure you we shall put
forth as much or more effort to retain this confidence as
we did in gaining it
