The wheels go 'round again, ami the clock ticks. Hut It doesn’t keep correct time. This business of calling "Tillie I” on the Hoc be means so many broken Mocks nowadays that the master-mender*, can t keep them on their tables after they're mended. So the question »here they shall sit around while they're be» Ing regulated looms large. The Red t'ross answers that quo«- tlon with Its convalescent hoinea. It has six of these In operation, A suit- able place Is found sometime« do­ nated and management and equip­ ment are provided by the Red t’rosa, while the Army has furnlslied disci­ pline and a never-falling supply of con­ valescents. These homes mean that men who af scarcely hospital subjects, yet who can by no means go back to tlielr du- ties, have u place that does whnt “home" does for tin’ French or Eng­ lish .soldier, what •'home" does for any one, tn fact, when the doctor gets through. You know. He Mys: “You're all right now. It’s only a matter of nurs­ ing and food." Hut you know he's only looking at the works he's tinkered, and that the soul within you Is grousing as It never did when the body was down nml out. It wants something, and It doesn’t know what It Is. Hut If It doesn't get It pretty quick the works are going to get gummed again. You know your mother could find out what that dog­ gone thing Is right away and hand It to you on a plate. Hut General Per­ shing won't let you go to her. • • • And the War I >epartiiient won't let her come to you Then you’re .aken to a lied Croas convalescent home s and there Is th» very thing you wunted I But you couldn’t describe It even then to save your life. It is a bit of reddling, and pretty surniundlngs, and women's faces, and light laughter and time to play and all that sort of thing. It Is forgetting the crash of war and remembering that there arc pleasant, soft voices. It's even such things as gally-llowered sofa pillows to Jam Into a corner and muke a nice lolling place while you read and smoke and nlk. It's slippets In­ stead of trench boots, or day-dreams In place of the nightmare of killing. NO SEALS SOLD THIS YEAR. The customary sale of Red Cross Christmas seals will not be held this year. It seemed best to both the American Red Cross and the National Tuberculosis Association to unite tn the-Red Cross Christmas Roll Cal! to reduce the number of appeals to the public for contributions. There will be no lessening of activities by the National Tuberculosis Association through this arrangement, as the lied Cross War Council has appropriated *2,500.000 for antl-tuberculoala work In 1919 in lieu of the money that ordi­ narily would l>e raised by a Christmas Seal Campaign. However, every Iver­ son Joining the Red Cross during the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call will be awarded ten seals to be used as here­ tofore. THE RED CROSS GORDON.

MODERATH PRICES An American Red Cross worker who was among those volunteering to help In the hospitals and at the stu'lon where the hospital trains arrived, over­ heard some of the wounded talking about the American Red Cross. “Gee I We’d a starved If It hadn’t been for the Red Cross!” salil one ls>y, and then, laughing nt his own exagger­ ation, he went on to explain the cir­ cumstances under which the Red Cross representative with his division had done sonio timely service. The Ger­ mans, of course, were to blame, for they retreated so rapidly that it was practically Impossible for the supplies to keep up with the pursuing Ameri­ cans. * "We denned up seven kilometers In less than two hours,” another reclining figure explained, "and they were still going when I was knocked out. For three «lays I had had nothing to eat but hard tack, and for some days tie- fore the food had been monotonous— to put it mildly. So you can Imagine what It meant to us boys to have the Red Cross Gordon come up with a sup­ ply of chocolate, canned penefaes and jther good things. It was a life saver.” PttONF.: TABOR 17.1 1918 RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEAL Try Our E Z.
