preface of his "Book of Pirates," re-

Why is it, he wishes to know, that
the pirate has always had a certain
lurid glamour? Is it because men
still have in them a streak of wild-
ness, of scorn for law and order, of
predatory lust for other men's gold?

WATCH YOUR KIDNEYS!
Inhaling the-fumes of turpentine
and white lead often weakens the
kidneys. That's one reason why so
many painters have bad backs and
sick kidneys. Exposure, frequent
colds and chills and the strain of
climbing up and down ladders help
start the trouble.

AMERICAN LEGION
AUXILIARY GROWING
Organization is One that the Women
of the World War Should Join
Enter into the Work.
The close of each of the great
wars of our country has led to the
foundation of societies composed of
the men who fought in the uniform
ranks of their country's service in
either the army or navy and, as well
as those who maintained the spirit
of patriotism at the home firesides
the women of the country.
When the last sounds of battle In
the World War ceased there sprang
into being the American Legion as
a strictly world War organization
and in a short time the Auxiliary
was formed, composed of the wives,
mothers and sisters and daughters
of the men who had entered into the
Legion. It was also opened to the
women whose loved ones had paid
the supreme sacrifice for ther coun
try on the battlefield or in the army
camp and it at once became the ral
lying point of the women who had
done so much for the successful com
pletion of the war that for four
years had shook the foundations of
civilized society.
In this city the Auxiliary was or
ganized shortly after the American
Legion post became active and into
it3 ranks have entered many of the
ladies of the city to carry on the
Esme splendid cause that they had
maintained in the trying days of
war and suffering. It is a privilege
to belong to this splendid women's
organization and those who have the
opportunity should enroll in the
membership at this time.
The women of the world were the
greatest sufferers in the war and
their sacrifices were even greater
than that of the men who enroled
in the armed forces of the country,
as there was not a home from which
the son, husband or brother had gone
forth to face the unknown dangers,
that did not have someone there who
knew no peace of mind or heart un
til the loved one had returned safe

Sacrifices, the common suffering, the
long days and months of anxious
watchful waiting had knit closer the
bonds cf feeling between the woman
, of the nation who had given their
jail for the cause of liberty and it is
fitting that this spirit of loyalty and
sacrifice should be preserved in the
form of a society that will kep alive
the wonderful fruits of these sacrl-
fices.
