I remember stand ing in the chateau gateway on a bright November afternoon and seeing them come up the road. Soldiers I We were used to soldiers ! But these were dif ferent. Grandmere was with me, we bad been here all the time. " 'They came along, in the stream- ing afternoon sunlight, and they smiled and waved at me. " ' "They are the Americans I" Grand mere said, and she began to cry softly. "God bless them God bless them 1" she whispered, over and over. "And that night, as you know, we bad their officers at the chateau and one of them told me be, also, had a daughter, not much younger than I, and that her name was Virginia " 'I don't know why for, God knows, there were hard times, and dark times, ahead but from that moment I felt hope. Child that I was, I seemed to see behind those marching men the big and generous nation that was dedicat ing itself to their service, the women everywhere, with their sewing nnd cooking, saving and planning, their let ters and their prayers all one In their work for an ideal beside which the comfort and the ease of this generation was as nothing 1' " Woman's Home Companion. REGARD COLD AS SERIOUS Medical Authority Warns Against Con temptuous Attitude Too Often Taken by Those Afflicted. The iiltrawise citizen of male per suasion devotes part of the sweltry summer days to the unsympathetic task of selecting his winter overcoat a wise and sometimes money-saving piece of foresight. Other perspiring ones are buying coal. In summer pre pare for winter. It is probably In this spirit that the very midsummer num ber of Boston Medical and Surgical cal Journal touches upon the Decem bery subject of colds, and It is pre cisely In this spirit that we translate n few Injunctions from the medical writing of Dr. D. C. Dennett In the Journal. Treut colds early nnd carefully. Colds are simply the first stages of pneumonia, tuberculosis and mnny other ailments. When you have a cold you are In the beginning of a serious disease, which may develop If you neglect It. In military camps the order is that colds be reported upon the appearance of first symptoms. Do not poke a cold with medicated cotton on a stick. Do not take aspirin except for pain. Do not spray n cold. Do not take quinine and whisky, but treat n cold seriously because It is a serious disease. Consult a doctor. What Old Glory Means. When you hang out the colors spare i minute to think of it of the places It has been, of the things It means. It has given new hope to the proud ind to the poor everywhere in this n'orld. It Is the symbol nnd the achievement of the two noblest hu man attributes strength nnd compas sion. It springs from the enduring food that Is in the heart of humanity. It stands for the liberation cf all men. And It can never fall, it can never be humbled, because that motive lies loop in every human consciousness, is permanent, ns sure, ns Inevitable as fears or laughter or hope or faith In 3od.
