Every American who has patted
through France and Belgian) of lat
hoi returned home a permanently
saddened man. German cruelty and
French agony have cut a bloody ganh
in the heart, and there is no Dakin
solution that can heal the wound.
For three years German-Americans
have protested that the stories 01'
German atrocities were to be dis-
believed as English inventions, Bel-
gian lies and French hypocrisies;
but that day has gone by. When the
representatives of the nations as-
semble for the final settlertient there
will be laiu before the delegates of
Germany affidavits. photograph,
with othei legal proofs that estab-
lish German atrocities more clearly
than wore the scalpings of ihe Sioux
Indians on the western frontiers,
the murders in the Black Hole of
Calcutta, or the crimes of the Span- j
ish Inquisition. On a battle line
three hundred miles in length, in |
whatsoever village the retreating J
Germans passed. the following i
morning accredited men hurried to j
the scene to make the record against
the day of judgment. The photo-
graphs of dead and mutilated girls,
children and old men tell no lies.
Jurists rank high two forms of tes-
timony—the testimony of what ma-
ture men have seen and heard, and
the testimony of children too inno-
cent to invent their statements, but
old enough to tell what they saw.
For the first time in history, tho
German has reduced savagery to a
science, therefore this great war for
peace must go on until the German
cancer is cut clean out of the body.
The cold catalogue of German
atrocities now documented and in
the government archives of the dif-
ferent nations make the most sick-
ening page in history. Pays spent
upon the records preserved In south-
ern "Belgium, northern France, or In
and about Paris; days spent In the
ruined villages of Alsace and Lor-
raine, leave one nauseated physi-
cally and mentally. It is one long,
black series of legally documented
atrocities. Every solemn pledge that
Germany signed at The Hague con-
vention a year and a half before the
war as to safeguarding women and
children and unarmed citizens, has |
been scoffed at as a "scrap of pa-
per." These atrocities also were
committed not in a mood of drunk-
enness. nor an hour of anger, but j
were organized by a so-called Ger- |
man efficiency, and perpetrated on
a deliberate, cold, precise, scientific
policy of Gorman frlghtfulness. It
!h not simply that they looted fao-
tor'es, carried away machinery,
robbed bouses, bombed every farm-
house and granary, left no plow or
reaper, chopped down every penr
tM<$ and plum tree and every grape
vine, and poisoned all wells! The
Germans slaughtered old men and
matrons, mutilated captives in ways
that can only be spoken of hy men
in whispers; violated little girls
until they were dead. I inding a
calfskin nailed upon a barn door to
be dried, the nailed a babe beside
It and wrot beneath the word
"ZweP; they thrust women and chil-
dren between themselves and sol-
diers coming up to defend their na-
tive l*nd; bombed and lotted hospi-
tals, Red Cross buildings, violated
the white flng and the worst atroc-
ities can not oven be named.—Newell

time. She used It to keep her hair
beautifully (lark. gloss> and attrac-
tive Whenever her hair took on that
dull, faded or streaked appearance
this simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com-
pound.'' you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
tion of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says Ii darkens the hair so naturally i

this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time By morning ihe gray
hair disappears, and after another ap-

fully dark and glossy.

"Make It a lied Cross Chrlst..ias!"
This is Ihe slogan of the Southwest-
ern division of Ihe great American
Hed Cross which will begin a drive (
Monday, Dec. 17, to obtain 2,000,000
new members in the states of Mia- (
Kouri, Kansas, Arkansas, OklaliLins
and Texas
A similar drive Is to bo lunde at the

ti.-i million nieu.bers by OhriltimUIj
K*e Is the goul of this wonderful or-
ganization.
Outside of lbs arm. and the ni vy ,
the Bed Cross is the most important
instrument for winning Ihe war. Facts]
and figures dictate this statement and
not sentiment.
Much has b=en Said ,.nd written re-1
gardlng the Bentlmental side of the
Bed Cross and loo little has been i aid
and written of the actual work which
the Hed Cross does. As a matter of
fact, the Bed Cross Is nothing mors
than God's own instrument for nak
lug tile world safe for democracy. All
of the armies and all of Ihe navies of
.11 the allied countries would be lrn-1
pMent unless back of them theie was
a Big Something makl ig for tho
morale which is the backbone of every
fighting machine.
Morale Makes an Army
Every soldier and every sailor must
know thut his country Is backing him
up with something more than muni
tions and a uniform; he must know
that the spirit of the country is bo-
hind him, that its humanity Is reach-j
ing out to him and reaching out to his,
that the All Seeing, All-Powerful One.
the Big Director of Humanity, is go-
ing to take care of him and take pare
of his family while he is fighting
Morale and munitions win wars.
The Red Cross is morale with a big
M, and without the Red Cross theruj
could be no such thing as morale. |
A few facts covering a few of the
activities of the Red Cross since tho
I nlted States went Into the big war
is sufficient proof of all these state-
ments. No man with red blood In his
veins can read these facts and then
refuse to become a member of the Red
Cross, unless ho already Is a member.
Because of enormity of the task
and because of the fact the United
States was unprepared fo~ war, the
War Department ha*, been slow in get.
ting supplies to c.intonments, and in
many Instances soldiers would nave
suffered had It not been for the quick.
I r.ess of the Red CroBs In coming tn
1' their relief Some red tape, of course,
attaches to the Hed Cross. At a South-
ern cantonment 2.000 of the men were
without shirts; the War Department
was not able to furnish Ihe mlmmedl.

I Within 24 hours every man was prop-
I erly outfitted.

Attention
Motorists
Now is the time to protect your car for
the winter before it has a chance to freeze.
A radiator cover and an engine cover af-
ford this protection. They also enable you
to use your car in the most severe weather.
These covers soon pay for themselves,
for they save batteries; engine starts
quickly, as engine is always hot; save
time, save gasoline, and give a feeling
of security—you know your car is sate in
any kind of weather.
Just stop in front of our store, we 11 put
the covers on for you in nothing flat.
