No./ in the hour of their supreme need the American Red Cross, both for the sake of numanity and to express our gratitude for their aid, to us in the time of trouble and distress, has decided to charter a ship and send to each country involved nurses and hespital supplies. Can Enter Any Harbor. “This shi», sailing under the Red Cross flag, will be under the protec- tion of the treaties of Geneva and The Hague and con enter any harbor for the discharge of its beneficent duty.

TEDDY SAYS MOOSE + WILL BE PATRIOTS Roosevelt Promises They Will Aid Public Officers to Conserve Na- tional Honor. New York, Aug. 6.—Col. Roose- velt turned from politics to the war at the end of his speech yesterday at the Progressive conference at the Hotel Astor. He said: “I think that in the great world crisis now affecting all the nations of mankind our prime duty is first and foremost to show ourselves patriotic citizens of the great American Re- public. I regret that of recent years the policies which I and those like me believed to be essential for the welfare, the honor and greatness of the American people have not been more faithfully carried out; but all that is past now and is neither here nor there in this crisis, “At the moment the United States, as one of the great nations of the world, faces a crisis which has al- ready involved in war nearly all the other great nations of the world. Friends, we have our roubles here, but let us be thankful beyond meas- ure that we are citizens of the Re- public and that our burdens, though than those that must be borne by the men and women who live in other and less fortunate countries. “I for one will act, and I am sure I am stating .your feelings when 1 say that the men and women of the Progressive party will act, throughou this crisis primarily a% Amerfcan citi- zens and will work hand in hand with any public man, with any public serv- in good faith and disin- terestedly. do all that is possible to see thut the United States comes through this crisis unnarmed and so conducts herself as to conserve tne honor and the interest of her own citizens and as far as may be to heln zens who, in securing peace and justice for all the nations of mankind.” I to Europe | they may be heavy, are far lighter | ant and with any and all private citi-.

The president will make CONSTIPATION OR COMFORT? There can be neither comfort nor good health where constipation exists. Most people suffer from this cause at intervals, many are chronic victims. _Strangely enough, the qld-time reme- dies for this very common complaint were nauseating doses and so powerful that they often made the condition worse than before. Then they wore out in their effect so that it was necessary to take a lnrger and larger dose. The first attempts at improvement sought to make the dose more palatable but to disguise the taste the size was increased and results were unsatisfactory. In this age of progressit was impossible that doses resembling horse medicine should continue to be taken by human beings. Imthe new laxative, Pinklets, is presented & dainty, sugar-coated pill, hardly larger than a grain of mustard, that is free from unpleasant effects, does not upset the stomach nor gripe but ! simply gives nature the needed assistance. Pinklets also assist digestion and are ood to take after a full meal. Once use inklets and you will never return to salts, oil and harsh purgatives. Your own druggist can supply you with Pinklets or they will be sent by mail, postpaid, by the Dr. Williame Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y., at 25 cents per bottle. Send for helnfnl pamphlet.

Joplin, Mo., Aug, 6.—The thirty- eight killed and two score injured in last night's wreck at Tipton Ford, ten miles from here when a Kansas City Southern passenger train collided with a Missouri and North Arkansas car were brought here early today. Many of the dead injured badly burned by the explosion of the gaso- railroad gasoline motor and were line tank on the motor car. W. M. Drury, of Webb City, Mo, who with his wife and three children was aboard the wrecked motor car, was only slightly injured. He quickly removed the wreckage which covered him and began a search for his fam- ily which included a nine months old baby. He found them buried under the back of a seat which was sup- ported by a second seat. One by one he brought them from the car, crawl- ing on his hands and knees through the fire, which was rapidly consuming the wreckage. All were severely burned but physicians said they would recover. Later, although his face and body were covered with blisters, where his clothing had been burned away, Drury crawled back into the wreckage and rescued three other persons. Crawls Through Window. J. J. Lauderback of Joplin, crawled through a window.-and saved nine persons. pinioned under the wreck- age. He was obliged to fight with one woman, whose child was lost, to make her leave the burning car. The wrecked train, north bound, was late having been delayed by a freight wreck. Because of thls, it was running on a freight train’s sche- dule. The motor was running on the Kansas City Southern tracks and evi- dently its crew misunderstood the or- ders to meet the passenger at Tipton Ford, for it ran past the station without stopping. A mile south of the town it met the passenger train, head on. Relates Story of Wreck. Drury told the story of the wreck here today. ‘“We were running about thirty-five miles an hour,” he said, “when sud- denly there was a terrific impact, which was followed almost immedi- ately by the explosion of the gasoline reservoir. By the time I crawled from the wreck, both the motor car and the train, fed by the burning gasoline, seemed a sheet of flame. Fourteen men were riding in the smoker and 1 heard of only one who escaped.” The huge gasoline supply tank for the car’s big motor burst with the collision, saturating the imprisoned passengers. Then the gasoline caught fire. Bodies Almost Consumed. Bodies of many of the dead were almost consumed and many persons pinned beneath wreckage sustained severe burns in addition to wounds. Complete identification of the dead will have to await a canvass of those who escaped, as a number of the bodies are unrecognizable. LIVE WIRE FALLS ON. CROWD OF LABORERS Three Burned in Accident at White Oak—No Serious Results Anticl pated—Pandemonium Reigns. A live created pande- monium flat car loaded with laborers this morning when it fell into their midst and burned three of them. The accident occurred at White Oak. The laborers were engaged in remov- ing the surplus material from Stan- ley street between Kast Main and Smalley streets, where it is proposed to lay new ties in anticipation of street repairs. The men were unload- ing the material when the troley wire came down. Immediately there was a scurrying to escape the twisting cord with its death-dealing load. The wire hit two of the laborers on the head and inflicted painful but not serious injuries. The worst injured was one who was hit on the hand. As soon as possible the car was run back to the city, where the injured were attended to by Dr. Clifton M. Cooley.
