OUR GOD AND OUR COUNTRY H j Rev. J. A. Seimetz at the services Sunday morning ii preached the following sermon at the St. Mary’s church. The direct appeal should prove as powerful to others as it did Sunday to the Catholic congregation: This week, as you have noticed in the papers, begins :: the hundred million dollar Red Cross drive; of this amount X Adams county is to raise $8,750. This money is to be de'u voted to the alleviation of the sufferers of war. Whatever ,J> your views may be regarding the war, whatever your na- ]“ tionality; our country is at war and it behooves us as true :: Americans to remain loyal to our flag and our country, u Wherever we can be of service lo our country that service jl should be cheerfully rendered and not be hampered by x petty grievances. Not all can light, but all can lend a helpn ing hand in some way. You are going to be asked to conH tribute to the Red Cross. Our motto, as Catholics, has aljj ways been and always will be: “Our God and Our Counu try.” Let us now sustain this motto, not by merely waivy ing the flag, but in a more substantial way by contributing 0 generously to the worthy and noble cause of the Red Cross, j M Until very recently we have been regarding the Eu- | ropean war with more or less indifference. Distance rob- ! :t bed us of its terror and rendered the cannon boom inaudi- • H ble; the sigh and groan of the injured, the moan of the f y dying have not yet reached our ears; our eyes have not yet ? X gazed upon the grewsome scenes of the trenches, nor have j in we smelled the stench of that putrified mass of human j & bodies left on the field of battle a prey to the vulture; the ; H bleached bones of those who have fallen have not been : jj claimed by any of us as the remnants of our kinsmen; the ? • g famished widow and the starving orpran are not rapping • :: at our doors begging for a crust of bread, nor have we been r x called upon to moisten the fevered lips of the wounded sol- f p dier. The great and mighty ocean has veiled these tragic { H scenes to us and because we did not see we did not under- : it stand. ib It is different now. We are at war and will be made to ? y realize this in all its horror. The cannon «nd rifle that t jx have so crudely devastated the ranks of the European army ; are now turned upon our American boys; the flower and | H youth of our beloved country—and with what results? ■ y God shield our eyes from the pitiful scene! Unless I’rovi- ‘ b (lence intervenes, here at the altar in the not far distant ? y future may be chanted the solemn requiem of one or the * Ig other of you present here this morning. t When the list of dead and wounded will contain the b name of your husband, your son, then will you awaken to L a the stern facts which until now have been only obscure 1 •: visions; then will you admit what you may now be inclined ; u to ignore—the duty, the emphatic duty—of coming to the ? y rescue of (hose who arc exposed to the ravages of bullet | |x and disease- • ♦ Imagine, if you can. the exposures, hardships and suf- j j: ferings endured by those fighting in the trenches; wading i in a mass of corruption, treading under foot the dead • si bodies of their comrades in arms; and tell me w hat chance : ;• has a man to escape pinioned between the ravages of dis- f ix ease and the dead!' missile of the cannon; how can he es- « cape w hen attacked by these enemies and still hope to live? S H There remains for him only one avenue of escape and that iji H is through the merciful hands of that band of army-angels | y —God bless them—The Red Cross. You will be called upon to contribute to the Red Cross. I |x May it noi be said that a single Catholic refused. As Amer- g :: icans we owe allegiance to one country, and only one. and s h that country is America. It matters not whether America g ii is the land of our birth or adoption, it is the land of our p m destiny. G 0 I nxmimut: an'.uex: a:: ::u :::: x: :u:-4t::::: :.o:;'4gu:x::;u:

It is to be devoted to making feet comfortable through the use of the modern scientific devices which intet up-to-date shoe dealers arc now prepared to fit to individual needs. There are few cases of foot discomfort which can not thus be easily and cheaply corrected. Dr. Wm. M. Scholl, the well known author, scientist and foot authority is sponsor for an originator of this movement, which has now gained na-tion-wide support. Dr. Scholl has spent a life time in the study of the human foot and is the author of several authoritative works on the subject, besides being the inventor of a number of standard devices or appliances for the correction ot all the usual foot troubles. A few years ago, shoe stores sold

footwear only. Now, they sell expert service as well. Thousands of shoe stores are now either conducted by a j graduate practipedist or have a gradI uate practipedist in their employ to i- Jook after the foot defects of I heir clientele. The iiractipedist is no more , shoe clerk, —he is a ieartied proses- ) sional man who takes his calling ser- . iotisly, and who does much to alleviale human distress. t At the store of Charlie Voglewede, Fool Comfort Week is to be a big occasion. The foot experts there are * anticipating a rush of business and the window display, especially prepared for this event, is one of more 1 ihan usual interest THIS MEDICINE WOMEN VALUE Positively Relieves the Suffering. More Convincing Proof. When Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound was first introduced its curative powers were doubted and had to be proved. But the proof came, and gradually the use of it spread over the whole country. Now that hundreds of thousands of women have experienced the most beneficial effects from its use its value has become generally recognized and it is now the standard medicine for women's ills. The following letter is only one of the thousands on our files. Dennison, Texas. — “I cannot fee! that I have done my duty until i tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered from female troubles so 1 could hardly drag around and do my work. I was very nervous, and had dizzy spells, heat flashes, and headaches until life was a burden My husband brought me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I soon began to improve. [ continued its use and am now free from all pains and aches that made life a burden. You may use this letter in any way you like for I want the world to know what a grand medicine Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is. ’’ —Mrs. G. 0. Lowery, 911 S. Barnett Ave., Denison, T?xas. Write the Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for free advice. o Democrat Want Ads Pay
