the dirt to flee. » One reason for the great popularity of Gold Dust is its activity. It dissolves quickly in bot or cold water, and purifies in addition to cleaning. Millions of housewives are using Gold Dust regularly for cleaning everything from linoleum to the choicest silver and woodwork. A tablespoonful dit solved in a pail of hot water is the recipe for proper use. CECEEXFAIRBANKSEEED MAKERS The Active Cleaner GOLD DUST STRIKERS RETURN _ AT NASHUA MILLS Plants Closed Six Wetks—No Disorder—Statements Conflict | rNashua, N. H., Nov. 22.—No dis- | order attended the reopening today of the plants of the Nashua Mfg. com- | pany and the Jackson Mfg. company, which had been closed for more than six weeks by a strike of 4,000 cperatives. While large crowds gathered near the mills the police kept them moving and strikers who returned to work were not molested as_they passed through the gates. “One company of militia remained in its quarters. The authorities ex- | plained that the soldlers were not reeded as the strikers who remained out showed no disposition to annoy others on hand for the early start. There were conflicting statements as to the number of operatives who returned to the two plants. afger the gates opened at 7 o'clock | officials of the Nashua Mfg. Co., stated that 1,200 of the 3,000 strikers | had returned. A strike committee || claim that according to its check | % there were not more than 200 in the | S mill at that time. At the officers of the Jackson com- t | the trenches of the fine young lads are but boys, who are being maimed for life.

A large crowd gathered at the Swedish Elim church, of which Rev. J. E. Klingberg is pastor, yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock, when Miss Eva I. Johnson delivered an address on “Scenes in Belglum.” Miss John- son was in that country, in the ca- pacity of a Red Cross nurse, from April to October of the present year. Miss Johnson is a native of New Britain ,having been born and hav- ing lived here until twelve years ago, when her parents, Mr .and Mrs. Charles Johnson, moved to Bristol. Miss Johnson was graduated from the Grammar school in that city and afterward entered the New Haven General hospital, where she studied and became a nurse. She was su- pervisor of two wards in that insti- tution, and resigned her position. to become a Red Cross nurse, sailing with twenty-three other nurses and five doctors in April on the St. Louis, which arrived in London shortly af- ter the Lusitania was sunk. The party was forced to stay in London for three weeks before it could 8o to France, because hoats were being used exclusively in transporting troops. In a roundabout way they reached Dieppe and then Calais. Tn the latter city, they had their first meal of horse flesh, which later be- came a familiar article of food. ““You don’t mind it and it is not bad at all.” said Miss Johnson. After ending a night in Calais, the umit surgtved to La Panne, Belgium, where it made its permanent head- «narters. The trip was made by auto. La Panne is one of the most fashionable summer resorts in Eu- | rope ,and the rulers of Belgium have a summer home there. Now it is a center, where wounded soldiers are trying to recover. First to Arrive. “Our unit was the first of the American nurses to enter Belguim,” said Miss Johnson; ‘representatives of Mississippi, Virginia and Pennsyl- vania, as well as of Connecticut and The | New York were in the party. strain was awful during our stay at La Panne. You see our hospital was the nearest one to the firing lines, where the work of slaughter was goilng on. And it made one’s heart heavy to think of the poor young Belgian boys, for many mere the Belgian army and a royal surgeon, | was at the head of our hospital. And only two days after we had arrived, he body of his dear wife was brought o Pa Panne and interred in the and dumes near the hospital. His wife was one of the Lusitania vic- ims and was on her way to Belgium pany it was said that 500 of the 1,000 | following a successful mission to this stgjkers had returned. The strike committee anndunced that no count had been kept at this mill. The police , were under orders to remain on duty ! in the mill district throughout the | day. { INDIFFERENCE IS | FOE OF CHURCH:! Sevretary Daniels’ Addresses Virginia | Baptists—War Is a Result. Clarendon, Va., Nov. 22.—Secretary Daniels told the Virginia Baptist as- sociation here yesterday that in- difference is the deadliest foe of the | rch today and that the European nations are writing history with the sword in blood. This is the result of a century of spiritual indifference to vital spiritual religion,” he said. ‘Vital Baptist re- ligion would have prevented it,” de- clared the secretary. “The answer to the church that the European war praves that Christianity is a failure is that they have never tried evangelical | religion in obedience to the word of | God. They have been trying a church-and-state perversion of Christianity.” ! the Belgians | shall never forget the dear Belgian | brought food to country to raise funds. To Know is to Love. “It was so hard to get used calling us sisters.” I to people. And how grateful they are to the American people. But for the contributions of the English and the Americans the civilian population of Belgium would have starved. One of the favorite walks of the Ameri- can nurses was to Maxime Elliott's barge in the Adinkirk canal, two miles from La Panne. This barge the starving Bei- gians. The walk of two miles was nothing for us American nurses, as it brought us the sight of the Stars and Stripes. And how good the red, white and blue did appear to us. The Belgians, I believe ,are among the best horsemen in the world. They are great in their saddles—gallant and daring. And they need all the courage they can get ,poor fellows! “With nothing to look forward to, nothing to gain ,but with everything to lose, and in fact in most cases, already lost, the young Belgians are eager to get to the front and help end this terrible strife. The world owes them a great debt for the suf- fering they have endured. They keep cheerful and bright even in the very midst of their great distress New Territory—More Sales “We would like to do business with you, but you are too far away’’—is not heard among men who know the advantages of using WESTERN UNION Day and Night Letters They will increase your business territory and multiply your trade possibilities.

Most of the Belgian men are childlike and simple and very honest; and I became attached to the dear Belgian people as a whole. | The poor. simple peasant boys who ! have been injured! How one’s heart | does go out to them. We have so many little Belgian soldiers, mere boys, who are trying to be brave with an arm gone, a leg off at the thigh and even two legs gone in some cases. And in addition there are the non-combatants ,those littie boys who have been maimed by bombs or shells that have reached | Lo Panne. One little fellow about 11 years old, is without his left leg; | he was hit by an exploding bomb. But | he says to the nurses ‘Just think of the men in the trenches, how many there in the trenches, how many there are getting shot to pleces.’ And he is right. Many of those at and near the hospital try to be bravo, not knowing where their families are. Their homes and cities have been destroyed and burned.” Seeing a Battle. From the hospital Miss Johnson could, with glasses, view the fighting near the trenches, six miles away. One day she also saw a naval engagement in the North sea. She saw the bom- The German shells came very near the hospital One of the English boats was but three-quarters of a mile off-shore. When the tide was out, a shell fell within the line marked by a buoy and an officer remarked that it needed but a half-inch different training of the German gun to have sent the shell to lend, to the destruction of the hos- pital. “One night when I was doing night duty,” she rays, “we looked up at the ceiling time and again expecting to see a shell drop through. And in the morning we went out and found five big holes in the sand nearby. The noise was something awful, a severe strain on the nerves.” Miss Johnson prizes a photograph showing a Ger- man mine that rolled up on the sand in front of the 'hospital. One of the nurses snugged close to the big mon- ster while the photcgrapher snapped her picture. But the story of the oth- er mine that drifted ashore is of its exploding and killing eight soldiers. From the hospital balconies the flash of cannon and the flames of the rock- ets could be seen on the trench line front. Airships were common sight and ®ice or twice airships engaged in fighting, were heard overhead. Few Pleasures. The American nurses were com- pelled to have some relief from the awful strain of not only being so near the battle front but in attending to the pathetic and frightful cases it was their duty to care for. LaPanne being a famous watering place of course, many enjoyed surf bathing. The premier event was the Fourth of July party given by Dr. Page for his American Telpers. Some of the Bel- gian soldiers had been in America and their delight knew no bounds when they were presented with an American football by the American doctors. One day Miss Johnson was out with a few others, gulded by a Belgian officer, and they ventured over the line into French territory. This occasioned some trouble but they finally reached LaPanne safe and sound. Following America, Just as the American unit of nurses had about completed its term of ser- a Canadian contingent arrived for a three months’ service. Others were then beginning to arrive from England, Scotland and from other parts of Belgium- The general of- fensive of the allies had just started when Miss Johnson felt obliged to return home. She says it was hard to leave then so great was the need of aid and succor. Miss Johnson worked in a hospital that was formerly the exclusive hotel L'Ocean. Until she went on night duty, she lived in a German arch- duke’s summer home, where the sound of the sea was always heard. The villas used by the nurses and the doc- tors and for the care of patients were formerly the homes of royalty and of very wealthy people. The king and queen visited the hospital frequently. The beach is a wonderful one, and it was a pretty sight, Miss Johnson says, to see the soldiers on review along the beach front. Pavillons have been erected about the main hospital, and these with the hospital accommodate from 1,200 to 1,800 patients. She further says. “Many titled ladies do probationers’ work and every one does what little he can. Many of the Eng- lish and Canadians have relatives, friends, brothers and fathers at the front yet they go bravely on each day, working with no pay of any kind, and only hoping for a victory to their side.”” While there, she had French and Belgian professors assisting as waliters and orderlies. A beautiful sight on the trip was had passing through Normandy in apple blossom time. Bound For Shores of Peace. Coming home the sailing was out of Bordeaux instead of from Havre, and instead of the usual nine days it required two weeks to get home aboard La Tourine. The boat was short 40 stokers. “We kept our clothes on day and night while pass- ing through the war zone, and were convoyed for a part of the distance. We were also shown the life pre- servers and instructed.in their use. | Going over we had a torpedo boat circling our ship as we passed through the war zone,” she said. Significant Souvenirs. Miss Johnson, has returned home in perfect health, not showing the awful strain she has been under. She is resting at the home of her mother on vice, West street, Bristol. A most prized Cooking Always In Sight gift she received is a book, on the cov- er of which her appears sketched in ink in the form of a seal. It took the soldier-patient a half day to do the work. On the leaves inside the covers, were sentiments of appreciation written by English and Belgian soldiers, whom she had nursed through their periods of suf- fering. A very interesting memento is a shell case, the brass well polished, on the surface of which a soldier had etched field daisies and other designs. This shell-case stands about twelve inches high, and is to be used as a flower holder. Then she has hund- reds of photographs, showing the in- cidents of her stay of several months close to the trénches. Trinity M. E. Church.
