JUDGED BY OUR WORKS.

Chicago Tribune — What a crucible this time is—a crucible in which we are all being tested! Extraordinary results come from this refining process and not one of us escapes. What we have of courage, self-sacrifice, true nobility becomes separated from that complicated mixture known as personality. In like manner all the hypocrisy, incompetency, idleness, laziness, and self-indulgence, which in ordinary times can be hidden from general observation, float, hn unattractive scrum, on the surface, visible to all.

Authoritative estimates show that Wj the average loss caused by a single rat is $5 per year! Think, then, of the tremendous loss only pB a few rats can cause!

For the rest of our mortal lives each one of us will be judged by our works at this time of supreme trial. Can you who fail to answer the call for help which comes from every Red Cross bureau and other war relief’associations, or who ignore the appeal of the food conservation board, or who go off on pleasure trips when money is needed for home and foreigfi philanthropies — can you face the long, long years of the silent, unforgetting judgment of your peers?

happening every day! There came to the French war shop in East Washington street the other day a woman a simple, hardworking mortal earning barely enough to keep body and soul together. But she hud an offering of money made and saved by making ice during the cold moiths last winter. She froze water in various receptacles and not only eliminated her own ice bill, but sold the ice thus made to her neighbors, carefully saving every cent for this gift to be divided betwi en the French and the Red Cross. Since the war began, three and a half years ago, she has had ’ nt one thought: That it was as much our war as that of the French and English that was being waged over there. She had withstood much petty but disagreeable persecution from her forewoman, a person of ahen sympathies. But she was not to he deterred either in her expression of opinion or in her unremitting accumulation of small sums to complete her donation. All Carnegie’s millions given away do aot bulk so large as this widow’s mite. v

SQUARE DEAL FOR SOLDIERS.

Washington, March 14. — (Special correspondence)—Representative Albert Johnson of the State of Washington has been active in securing the repeal of an order of the war department that has worked great injustice many new recruits. It seems that\theretof ore men entering the army who manifested chronic physical disorders within three months after their enlistment have been subject to discharge for disability not incurred in line of duty. They then have a status under which they are denied many of the benefits intended for them in the War Risk Insurance Act. Mr. Johnson conceives it to be a great injustice to a man to accept him for military service after a severe physical examination, and three months later conclude that a disability he then has was contracted before enlistment. As a result of the congressmen’s representations to the”, surgeon general, that official has recommended that hereafter any disability contracted subsequent to a soldier’s entrance into the army must be considered as having come to him in line of duty.

SOME DRAFT UNITS TO MOVE AHEAD OF THE GUARD

Washington, D. C., March ■ 13. The inspector-general of the army has reported that several national army divisions are ready for final training in France. These divisions will be moved across the Atlantic early this spring. Some of these national army divisions will go to France ahead of certain national guard divisions. The war departmenf will not say what units were passed by the inspector-general’s office, and officially it declined to indicate the number of national army divisions scheduled for France this

spring. It is known in a general way that the inspector-general’s office has found at least ten of the sixteen national army divisions prepared for final training abroad. Not one of the sixteen divisions, it is said authoritatively, has set a Idw standard, and it is pretty well understood that all the sixteen divisions could, in the estimation of the inspectors, be sent forward this spring or certainly during the early part of the summer. Naturally, the decision of the war department to send to France some of the national army divisions ahead of some of the national guard divisions has created disappointment in certain quarters. Many of the national guard divisions, it is pretty well understood, already have gore to France for their final training and those that have not gone undoubterly will cross this spring or summer.

I doctored and used several medicines but nothing seemed to relieve me until I got Doan s Kidney Pills at B. F. Fendig’s Drug Store. The backache and pains in my loins soon left and the kidney secretions became natural.” (Statement given May 31, 1907.)

That Fort Benjamin Harrison may be turned into a receiving station for American soldiers wounded in France, or in other words an immensearmy hospital, it became known this week when the surgeon general submitted the plan to the War Department. Whether or not the request will be complied with it not known at this time, as the proposition will be taken under the advisement of the powers

that be. The present hospital at Fort Benjamin Harrison has but 250 beds, but should the post be tufrned over to the medical department it is expected that the hospital would be expanded to take care of not less than 2,000 or 3,000 patients. Many rumors have been in circulation of late concerning proposed activities at Fort Harrison, that provided for a big camp of troops but the only proposition that has received consideration as yet is that of using the post for a hospital. >
