COLONEL PACKED FOJOIOMEN Soldier Lauds the Bravery o! Leader of Chicago Regiment. WENT FORWARD UNDER FIRE It Was at Chipilly Ridge, and Men Had Nothing to Eat for Couple of Days—Colonel Wanted to Bo Sure They Got It. New York. —That' "Col. Joseph B. Sanborn, commander of Chicago’s old First Illinois National Guard regiment, personally carried food to his men through terrific fire In that, engagement at Chipilly ridge in August, when Chicago’s noted regiment was shot to Pieces, was the story told by Sergt O. DON’T NEGLECT A~ RHEUMATIC PAIN 'Go after it with Sloan’s Liniment before it gets dangerous Apply a little, don’t rub, let it penetrate, and —good-by twinge!

William Keane of Chicago, who recently arrived here on board a transport from France. Keane, who was a student at Notre Dame university until Villa cut loose in Mexico, has several heroic feats to his own credit, but he attributes his bravery to Colonel Sanborn’s inspiring leadership. Keane had the Military cross pinned on his breast by King George on the same day that General Pershing was made a Knight of the Bath. He also wears the American D. S. O. Keane has lost his right leg. . Telia of Sanborn’s Bravery. His story was told by a buddy of his in the One Hundred and Thirtyfirst infantry, but young Keane interrupted with: x “Say, If you were fighting under a man like Colonel Sanborn, our commander, you couldn’t help pitching in with every drop of blood in your body. Do you know what Colonel Sanborn did at Chlpilly ridge in August, when our outfit was so badly shot up? We were up there with nothing to eat or drink for a couple of days until Colonel Sanborn personally brought rations to us on his back under the most terrific fire that I ever experienced. “He did that because he Wfffbd to be sure that the food would reach us and he figured the best way to make sure was to carry It himself. Who wouldn’t fight like the devil under a commander like that?’’ Keane went to the Mexican border with the First and re-enlisted later for overseas service. He was decorated by King George for his work at Hainel on July 4 when the One Hundred and Thirty-first was brigaded with Australians. Keane Rescues Wounded. Keane had charge of directing the work of stretcher bearers. Party after party of them went into No Man’s Land that day and failed to return. Keane went out to find them. He found them dead, lying across the stretchers with the wounded men. They had been killed in their work of mercy by the Germans. At that moment a party of Germans made a sortie to capture Keane, but it ended in his killing several of them, forcing the others to surrender and to carry the wounded men and the stretcher bearers they had killed back to the allied lines. He won the American Distinguished cross in the Argonne on October 10, when he stood In No Man’s Land directing the work of rescue till an explosive bullet shattered his leg.

LOOK AT THIS AS IT IS No man likes to plow where there are many stumps. He is likely to get out of patience and swear. This is the way to stop the swearing: Buy a stump puller —-a one-man -puller, that will pull any stump in Jasper county—and one man is all that is needed. I can furnish the puller. Who is the man that wants to pull the stumps? Land is worth too much these times for nothing but stumps to occupy the soil. Some one that wants to make good money, call on C. A. Roberts for the puller and he can furnish a party who wants 20 acres of stumps pulled and Is willing to pay a good price for the work and spot cash when the work is done. —C. A. ROBERTS, Front street. Rensselaer, Ind. ts

No “Patient Resignation” for Blind; “Kicking Aggressiveness” Wanted

By SIR ARTHUR PEARSON.

their sight in the war that the world might see peace, are showing the same courage they exhibited on the field of battle. They have nothing to do with the old Christian theory of “patient resignation.”. "We don t want men who are patiently resigned. We want kicking aggressiveness. And we have nothing to do with “afflictions.” We don’t let our fellows get the idea in their heads that they are “afflicted.” Our aim is to make them normal, and, through the quickened perception of their other senses, they are able to “see,” even though not with their eyes. A blind man’s other senlies do not become naturally sharper because of the loss of sight. Their increased efficiency is because they are made to do more work, to perform functions for which nature intended them, but which liave fallen into disuse because man has relied so much upon his sight. If anyone could have told me six years ago when I could sec what a blind man could do I should have dismissed him as a fool or liar or perhaps both. The great majority of graduates of St. Dunstan’s earn far more blind than they did when they could see. Moreover, men have gone back to their prewar occupations more expert than ever in unsuspected lines, such as engineering, barbering and other avenues of effort. I predict the same future for the American government institution, Evergreen, at Baltimore, and plead for help for the blind and disabled, both in military and civil life, toward making them self-supporting and self-reliant.

Ten Million Organized Women Indorse United States School Garden Army

By MRS. JOHN D. SHERMAN.

Ten million women in the United States want school-supervised gardens for children. These ten million women are the members of the General Federation of Women’s clubs, with state, district and local organizations, and of the National Council of Women, which includes 29 national organizations. The interests of these organizations center in the child. . We believe that the United States School Garden Army now being conducted by" the federal bureau of education should be continued. The children need the help and inspiration that only the federal government can give. ■ ... jWe know' that the school-superviseS gardens of 1918 were a distinct success from a practical and food-producing viewpoint and that they paid. One and a half million boys and girls had school or home gardens. Food produced amounted to at least $10,000,000. We believe that gardening for children is a school subject, that it must be handled by the schools and that it must be made a regular part of the school course. We believe that practical knowledge of gardening ranks in importance with reading, writing and arithmetic in the development of the child. We believe that in learning to produce-food from the soil the child acquires a mental and moral growth of far greater value than any knowledge which is limited to textbooks. It helps fit him for intelligent and creative citizenship. . .. We believe that supervised gardening, w'hich includes instruction in the use of food, storage and marketing, will train a child in thrift and responsibility. We know that while the child is at work producing food from the soil he will learn the vital life lesson that he must not be a parasite and that honest productive labor of the hands is as honorable as that of the head. We know that gardens supervised through the summer months have kept thousands of children .off the streets and out of the juvenile courts. Three million children in the United States go to school hungry. School gardens will help to feed these children. We appeal to congress on behalf of the ten million organized women of the United States and on behalf of the school children of the country to support the United States School Garden Army. The appropriation will be an investment in citizenship.

Wanted: National Control of Health and Secretary in the Cabinet

National control of public health matters in this country through a federal department of health, with a secretary of health in the presidents cabinet—yes, by all means. Without federal organization of our public health agencies we are in danger of losing much of our gain from the war. For the foundation I may say that it would welcome such a department, and would be very glad to co-operate with it in every way. • The development of thoroughgoing team play among the American voluntary public health agencies, in close co-operation with the federal and state authorities and with the education of the public, ought to lead inevitably to the establishment in Washington of a national department of public health, • which, without imposing its authority unduly upon states and communities, would, through its research/activities and its comprehensive program, guide all the forces of publip4iealth throughout the nation. Twenty-eight associations exist for the sole purpose of promoting some phase of public health. Twenty-nine others, whose primary function falls in a different field, devote a part of their energies and funds to work in preventive medieine. It is substantially true to say that they go their own .ways, pursue their own methods, collect tlieir own funds.and appraise thiir own accomplishments. _ . ,

The handicap of blindness has been overcome. Men who lost their sight in the war have become actually more valuable in their own or Wier professions and trades than they were when they could see. Modern methods of treating the blind all tend toward the restoration of normality rather than the accentuation of affliction. St. Dunstan’s, the British institution, which I founded to aid men blinded in the war, is a place where darkness which is inevitable is never gloom that is impenetrable. The gallant fellows there, who gave
