DID YOU EAT TOO MUCH
THANKSGIVING DAY!
You have had a fine Thanksgiving dinner
and we had nothing to offer to make that
dinner more pleasant, except our best
wishes, but if in your indiscretion or folly
you over indulged* our services are avail­
able. Everything from a charcoal tablet to
a pink pill we keep handy for tired, over­
worked, sour or I. W. W. stomachs.

W hat does tlrnt m ean to the women
of the w orld? It m eans th a t seven
million one hundred thousand women

give life to a son.
It m eans th at
seven million one hundred thousand
little children lay in the arm s of a

they m ight become th e m others of

It m eans th a t y e a r a fte r y e a r these
women hud put up th e ir lives into the
lives o f th e ir sons until they h ad re a r­

the hope th a t these sons of th e irs could

women dream , the things for which
women hope and pray and long. T hese
w ere the things th a t the women had
In th e ir h e a rts when th ey gnve birth

B ut who can estim ate th e value of
seven million one hundred thousand
dead sons of th e women of the w orld?
W ho can estim ate tiie price w hich the
women have paid fo r th is w a r ; w hat
it lias cost them , not only in th e death
of th e ir sons, because th a t is a phase
of o u r w ar to w hich we look.
T he C ourage of Women.
We h ear o u r o ra to rs tell us of th e
courage of o u r men. How they w ent
acro ss the sea. Very few of them re­
m em ber to tell us of tiie courage of
our women, who also w ent acro ss tho
s e a ; of th e women w ho died nursing
tiie sick and w o u n d ed ; th e women
who died In the hospitals, w here tho
te rrib le bombs cam e and drove them
alm ost to m adness.
T hey tell us
no th in g of the fo rty thousand English
women who w ent to w ork back of the
tren ch es in France.
T hey tell us nothing of the thou­
san d s upon tho u san d s upon tho u san d s
of women who uot only toiled and
w orked and slaved in o rd er th a t the
w ar m ight be successful, b u t we do
not h e a r of the th o u san d s of women,
not alone In A rm enia, not alone In
M ontenegro, not alone in Serbia, but
in F lan d ers, in Belgium, In R um ania,
in R u ssia—th e th o u san d s of women
who lie in g rav es today, m urdered,
so horribly m urdered th a t men d are
not speak of it.
And yet we women a re asked w hat
,e know about th e L eague of N a­

about a League of N ations. Oh m en!
tiie horrible d e n th s ; th e horrible lives
of thou san d s upon th o u san d s of wo­
men today in all these nations, who
: -.list live, and who m ust look in the

:Hat th ese a re th e re s u lt o f w ar.
And then ask women why they
should be In terested In a league of
peace?
W omen Suffer Moat From War.
If th ere is any body of citizens In
tiie w orld who ought to be interested
in a league to u ltim ately bring to the
v orld peace It is tiie m others of men,
and th e women w ho su ffered as only
women can su ffe r in the w ar and In

And we call upon them , we women
of tiie w orld call upon th e men who
I av e been fighting all these b a ttle s of
tiie years, th e m en who have led

death s.
We a re now calling upon the men
of th e w orld to in som e w ay o r a n ­
o th e r find a passage out of th e sea of
dentil. W a a re ask in g them to form
a league w hich will bring hope to the
w om en of th e fu tu re. If women a re

men may not have th ese In th e ir
