A WEDDING SONG.
And on her lover's arm she leant,
And round her waist she felt it
fold
And far across the hills they went,
In that new world which is the old.
Across the hills and far away
. Beyond their utmost purple rim,
'And deep in the dying day
-': The happy princess followed him.
And o'er them many a gliding star
' And many a merry wind was borne,
;And streamed thro' many a golden
bar,
The twilight melted in the morn.
I
And o'er them many a flowering
range
Of vapor buoyed the crescent bark,
And rapt thro' many a rosy change
The twilight died into the dark.
And o'er the hills and far away,
' Beyond their utmost purple rim,
Beyond the night, across the day,
Thro; all the world she followed
him.
From Alfred Tennyson's Day
Dream.

Why a Woman Who Believes
In Thrift Buys Wooltex
TVyT ANY a woman these days is waiting to
-L-- be as thrifty about clothes as she is in
other things. It will interest her to see our
new Wooltex Coats and Suits because in
them we can point out several special feat
ures of tailoring and fabrics that actually
preserve the style much longer than is usual
with Coats from $25 up arid Suits from
$29.50 up. This is a good time to save on
clothes and Wooltex makes this possible
without any sacrifices.

UNDER THE FLAG.,
(To the Memory of the Soldier Boy,
inomas F. Bagley, Jr.)
He pledged to his country his man
nood so strong,
And his feet caught the step that
goes marcnmg along,
And eyes that were misty and hearts
tnnlled with love,
frayed ort to tbe Merciful Father
above;
God guide him, God keep him!
Under the flag.
He is sleeping today where the birds
sing of peace,
Where battles all end, when conflicts
all cease,
A blanket of flowers will the soldier
boy hide,
In the service he lived, in the service
he died.
God bless him, God rest him!
Under the flag.
Taps sounded at midday, instead of at
night,
Life's race was not run, life's dreams
star were bright.
To the country he loved he willingly
gave
His arm strong with youth, his heart
warm and brave.
God welcome the soldier boy!

ations between the Army and the
Red Cross in camps and cantonments

ssued by Secretary of War Baker.
These relations have not heretofore
been well defined but have been sub
ject to the wishes and orders of the
commanding generals .in charge.
It is his desire, as it should be
the desire of all officers of the army,
Secretary Baker says in his order, to
do everything possible for the com-
:ort and welfare of the soldiers, and
n that connection to make full use
of the assistance offered by the Red
Cross.
Henry P. Davison, chairman of the
Red Cross Council, in a letter to H.
B.v Wallace, Director General of Mili
tary Relief, American Red Cross,
states that Secretary Baker's order
opens up a large and important work
for the Red Cross and that in order
to conduct it property the organiza
tion will immediately increase the
personnel and number of representa
tives in each army camp.
The oroDer activities of tne Red
Cross and methods for carrying them
on are outlined by Secretary Baker
In General Orders No. 17, as follows:
1 To distribute sweaters, mufflers,
helmets, socks, comfort kits, etc.,
and to receive the assistance and co
operation of all officers in making the
distribution fair, equal and where
most needed.
2. To render emergency relief of
every kind upon the request or sug
gestion of an officer in charge. All
officers are instructed to avail them
selves of this assistance whenever,
In their opinion, advisable.
3. To relieve the anxiety and to
sustain the morale of soldiers who are
worried about their families at home
and to promote the comfort and well
being of these families, authority is
given to the American Red Cross to
place one or more representatives of
the Home Service Bureau of the De
partment of Civil Relief at the serv
ice of the men of each division of
the army wherever located. . The sol
diers should be informed through of
ficial orders of the presence of such
representative and that the Red
Cross is able and willing to serve
both soldiers and their families when
in need of any helpful service.
4. To conduct canteen service sta
tions for furnishing refreshments to
soldiers when traveling through the
country, to furnish emergency relief
to the sick and wounded when en
route and to see that they are con
veyed to a hospital when necessary
and requested by the commanding of
ficer. 5; A representative of the Ameri
can Red Cross may be attached to
each base hospital to furnish emer
gency supplies when called upon, to
communicate with the families of pa
tients, to render home service to pa
tients, and such other assistance as
pertains to Red Cross wprk.
6. A Field Director of the Ameri
can Red Cross is to be in charge of
the work at each division headquar
ters.
7. Officials of the Red Cross, as
signed on duty with the troops, will
wear the regulation Red Cross uni

8. The comanmding officers at all
camps and cantonments are author

thing they may request within rea
son; such as warehouses, offices
lights, heat, telephones, etc., to as
sist them in properly carrying on
their work.

You Should Buy Low Shoes
Now and You Should Buy
Them Here Because
The means of transportation are daily becoming worse; we can no longer
tell when goods have been shipped to us just when they will reach here; some
times two weeks, sometimes two months elapse before we get the shipments
that's how uncertain deliveries are.
However, we are fortunate in having in stock just now a big lot of the new
season's low Shoes, and we think the prudent woman will see the wisdom of
making her purchase now, while our stock is fairly complete. Then, too, the
prices are continually advancing. We describe below four of the most popu
lar styles. Remember that the prices are less than they will be later.

This wonderful product' is new and different
and actually looks , different: The moment you
open the package, you will realize that you
have never seen a soap product anything like it.
It is not a soap powder, not a chipped soap, not
a cake, but wonderful flakes pure, transparent
in which is concentrated more real cleansing value
than is possible in any other form of soap.
It is ready to use; no shaving or chipping
required. LUX dissolves instantly in hot water.
All you do is whisk it into a lather rich, thick
suds, then work the clothes about in the suds to
dissolve the dirt no rubbing-which is always
ruinous to fine fabrics and necessary with other
soap products.
This product is made of the purest materials
known, by a special formula. These flakes won't
hurt any fiber, whether cotton, silk or wool!
They won't shrink woolens! They won't turn
silks yellow! They won't injure even chiffons!
They will not harm anything thai pure water
alone will not injure.
This new product, LUX, for all fine launder
ing, is now on sle at grocfery, drug and depart
ment stores. Lever Bros.. Co., Cambridge, Mass.
