The American Red Cross is made j home service of the Red Cross must

military deals with the needs of our
soldiers and sailors; the home serv
ice deals with the families at home.
The home service department of
our local Red Cross chapter is now
fully organized and ready at all time
to give all the information possible
to families and friends of soldiers
and sailors.
Men may be the best soldiers in
the world but if things are not well
with their families at home they lose
efficiency, through worry, and the
morale of the army that all import
ant factor begins to fall. Every re
port from the training camps and
from the French front mentions the
excellent spirit of our troops. Will
they maintain this morale thousands
of miles away from home, through
trench life and battle, to the victori
ous end? The answer will be deter
mined largely by the home service of
the American Bed Cross.
To our soldiers and sailors the Red
Cross means hospitals, doctors and
suffer for any essential thing that it
Is within their power to give.
For instance, a man received or
ders to report at a distant training
camp only the day before his wife
was to undergo an operatoin. He
had just time to appeal to the home
service office before leaving there
were no relatives to whom he could
turn and requested that t" ey stand
by his wife and keep him informed
as to her condition. This man found
help and comfort through the home
service. No matter how small or
how large your own particular prob
lem may be. you will find the home
service ready and wiling to aid you to
the best of its ability.
The home service has Its office in
the Civil service room, second floor
of the postofflce building. Open
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
from 2 until 4 p. m. At any other
time they may be reached by calling
the secretary, Mrs. H. P. Toohey,

As we Btood beside his grave in

Sleep here in peace!
To earth's kind bosom do we tearful take thee;
No mortal Bound from rest again shall wake thee;
No fever-thirst, no grief that needB assuaging,
No tempest-burst thy head loud-raging.
Sleep here in peace!
Sleep here in peace!
No more thou'lt know the sun's glad morning shining;
No more the glory of the day's declining;
No more the night that stoops serene above thee,
Watching thy reBt like tender eyes that love thee.
Sleep here In peace!
Sleep here in peace!
Unknown to thee the spring will come with blessing,
The turf above thee in soft verdure dressing.
Unknown will come the autumn rich and mellow,
Sprinkling thy couch uith foliage golden yellow.
Sleep here in peace!
Sleep here in peace!
This is earth's rest for all her broken-hearted.
Where she has garnered up our dear departed;
The prattling babe, the wife, the old man hoary,
The tired of human life, the crowned with glory.
Sleep here In peace!
n' Sleep in peace!
This is the gate for thee to walk immortal;
This is the entrance to the pearly portal,
The pathway trod by saints and sages olden,
Whose feet shall walk Jerusalem the golden.
. Sleep here In peace!
Sleep here in peace!
Fear not on earth shall be man's rest eternal;
Faith's morn shall come. Each setting diurnal,
Each human sleeping and each human walking,
Hastens the day that shall on earth be breaking.
Sleep here in peace!
Sleep here in peace!
Faith's morn shall come when He, our Lord and Maker,
Shall claim His own that slumber in God's acre;
Wheu He who once for man death's anguish tasted,
Shall show death's gloomy realm despoiled and wasted.
Sleep here in peace!
