' PAYS TRIBUTE T0 " SPIRIT OF YANKS élofinded Men Smile, Though Suf- fering Tortures. 5 £ Returna. After Ten Monthe’ Service - Overseas With an Ablding Enthusi- -asm for the Herolsm of the' Amerl. can 8oldier—Chivairy Is as Great as His Valor—Wait Patiently for Hours and 8mile Through It All. Miss Sara Cunningham, daughter of Mrs. James C. Cunningham, 124 Bast Fifty-ffth street, New York, has come back from France after ten months’ ex- traordinary overseas experience with the Red Cross and an abiding enthusi- asm for the American soldier. If ‘'you’ve once seen wounded men —sometimes horribly wounded—come fnto, an evacuation hospital, almost stralght from the trenches, and ,watched them smile and heard them tell you ‘It doesn’t hurt much,’ when theilr faces were gray and thelr miis- cles drawn with pain—if you've seen things like that, through one big drive after another, you'd never quite get your old pre-war attitude toward hu- manity again,” Miss Cunningham said. “You find out that human belngs aren’t just flesh and blood and mind; you find out how much of the mystic and the divine there are in even & com- monplace man—or a man who, before the war, you would have mistakenly called commonplace. Nobody, I think, who has been even remotely touched by the last four years can ever b quite as he was before. . - “So many silly, useless conventions, s0 much insincere pose slipped away from men and women near the front that I don’t think any of us, now that we're rid of those silly ultra-civilized notions, will ever go back to them again. You get to know people for what they were over there—and saw . under thelr skins and you found out the real qualities that make manhood.” “" Walted Patlently for .Hours, “Miss Cunningham -leaned. forward eagerly, with flushed, animated face. “1¢ 1 could only make you see those boys,” she said, “as they were brought in on stretchers during the fury of a big drive! Often they had long hours ta. walt for attention because the nurses and doctors were so few and the wounded so many. Sometimes there would be piles, tier on tier, of strétch- + eérs, and the wounded would lle for hours walting thelr turn. Do you think they complained or whimpered? Not they! In all the heat apnd confusion ot the worst rush I never once passed a wounded man who -didn’t look up and smile. Sometimes when a man's . turn for. attention would come he'd say, ‘You better go to my buddy first, purse. He's worse hit than I am! And,when you'd give them a drink of water they'd often as not tell you to pass it on to another chap who'd been asking for it. “Now, these-things weren’t isolated Instances. They are the things that happened day after day all the time 1 was In France. I saw nothing.else, 1 was at Complegne during he bad fight- g around there at the hastily con- + structed Red Cross evacuation hospital, and we had a constant stream of men from Montdidler, from Soissons and from Chateau Thierry. I tell you quite honestly during, all that awful period T did not hear a single man complain. They all smiled—can you picture it? There were those bleeding, tortured fellows, smiling—smiling. Occasion- ally they even told a joke. - It was heart-breaking, you know—you felt that you could; almost go down on your knees In acknowledgment of such man- hood.” Tells of Their Chivalry. This New York girl who has been all over the fighting front, who has nursed in every big drive from the time she ‘went to France until the signing of the armistice, who has acted as nurse, dietitian, interpreter and entertainer, and who has gone alone to army posts when she was the only woman for miles around, has as much to say for the chivalry of the American fighting mau as for his valor.' : “Sometimes,” she sald, “people will tell you .about the foolhardiness.of a - girl going to France among soldiers— about the dangers and insults to which she is being exposed. If there were girls treated with disrespect by any man of any rank in our army I think those girls must have been in some way responsible—perhaps they didn't realize it themselves, but they: must have invited that sort of thing, even though they did so unconsciously. I am convinced of this, because I'm sure that nobody could have been more ‘ex- posed’ than I was—I met all sorts and conditions of men alone, under all _ circumstances, at every hour of the day - and night, and they were—oh, simply + wonderfull . “I can't tell you how fine they were. Bverybody acted as if he, Individually, were responsible for your .welfare— as if each girl were his personal charge. They seemed to regard it as 2 sort of honor to give us their pro- tection.” Big Increase Noted in England’s Navy. - More than 2,000,000 tons of shipping were added to the British navy during the war. The new vessels cost between “$1,250,000,000 and -$1,500,000,000, sc- cording to a statement by the director WESTERN GOLFERS READY FOR MEET AT ST. LOUIS St. Louis, June 16.

(United Press.)—Rotarians today were pre- pared to help fight Bolshevism and labor unrest with what they be- lieved is the strongest weapon—The Golden Rule. 2 5 At the annual, convention which opened here today, more than 6,000 Rotarians planned to start a move- ment by which capital and labor ma; adjust their differences. 2 - Officials expected the convention to recommend closer association be- tween employer, manager and labor, Co-operation, profit sharing, better working conditions and encourage- ment to own homes were cited as some means by which conditions ma; be remedied. > < Dr. Henry Suzzallo, president -of the University of Wisconsin, was to discuss ‘“‘capital, labor, management and the people.” Suzzallo’s address and the report of the International Rotary committee;: which -has ‘beehn | studying the question, were to form| the basjs ef dlq(;uqsgpn-nom labor.’ Boys ‘work also’ was to be given impetus according to plans. Educa- tion and training in the trades, to- fether with erection and mainten- ance of hospitals and homes were to be discussed. . Rotary extension both in America and abroad, halted by the war, was another subject up for study. At'a vocational meeting of builders, lum- her and brick .manufacturers, study will be made as to ways and means for loosening the tension of present day construction. Members said they expected to get back of the gov- ernment’s housing plan. Trips to Yellowstope Park and other districts of interest have been planned. 3 Officers of- the International As- sociation of Rotary clubs are: John Poole, Washington, D. C., president; Albert 8. Adams, Atlanta, Ga., vice- president; Edward R. Kelsey, Tole- do, O., second vice-president; Willard I. Lansing, Providence, R. I, third vice-president; Willard I. Lansing.

F. McKenney, who resides at 3121 Cedar Ave., Minne- apolis, recently, in a statement in which- one of the benefits received described is a gain - of “seventeen pounds. B : “I had been suffering from stom- ach trovble for five years,” she con- tinued, “ and had almost despaired of ever getting relief. - My. appe-| tite was very poor and I' always suf- fered s0o much pain in my stomac! after meals that I had gotten almost afraid to eat anything.. My food would ferment and ‘the gas from it would press on my heart until I would just bave to fight for breath. I often had nervous, sick headaches and was very dizzy at times. I could hardly ever get a good night’s sleep, was very weak, and almost al- ways got up in the mornings feel- ing as tired as when I retired at night.” In" fact, that tired wornout feeling was with me all the time and I hardly had strength to do my house-work.” 4 “Finally I got to taking Tanlac on | the adviee of my daughter in Musko-| She told me of a 'minister there who said he did not’ gee, Oklahoma. believe there was ever a case stomach trouble” Tan relieve, and the results in my case have convinced me that he was right. Soon after I began taking it my appetite improved and I com- menced to gain both in weight and strength. My appetite is just fine now, the gas has stopped forming on my stomach, and I can eat what I glea.se dnd all I want without ever aving a_pain_.or an uncomfortable feeling afterwards. I sleep just like a’ child every night, get up in the mornings feeling rested and refresh- ed. ~ When I began taking Tanlac I only weighed one hundred and eighteen pounds, but I now-weigh one hand- red thirty-five, making an actual gain of seventeen pounds. This is just what six bottles.of Tanlac has done for me and there’s nothing too good for me to. say for it.” i Tanlac is sol din Bemidji by City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R.
