Couldn't Sit, Stand or Lie With
Any Comfort. Sister-in-Law Gives
Good Advice and Cardui
Does World of Good.
Holland, Texas.—Mrs. Nannie Mea-
se r, of this place, states: "About three
years ajjo I was in a very critical con-
dition. I had been suffering for some
time. To tell how I hurt would be im-
possible.
^ "I just nurt all over.
"I couldn't sit, stand or lay with any
comfort, my back, sides and head all
gave me a great deal of trouble.
"I was especially bothered with a
light swimming in my head. My peo-
ple were very uneasy about me and
sent me to my relatives to see if a
-change would do me any good.
^ "I stopped at a sister-in-law's and
she being a great believer in Cardui,
asked me why I didn't use it. I de-
cided to try it. * * *
. . "1 had only taken a few doses when
I felt it would do me good. This gave
fcopes and I used it right along and
it did me jusf a world of good, since
which time I have never ceased to
praise Cardui."
Cardui is recommended for simple
female complaints and womanly pains
and has been found to benefit in thou-
sands of such cases when not due to
gialformation or that do not require
surgical treatment. Try it. (Adv.)

UNCLE WI30ILT FINDS OUT.
66WXT IIAT'S the matter, Uncle Wigglly?"
If nuked Nurse Jaae Fus/y Wuzzy, the
mask rat lady housekeeper oua morning, aa she
notJoed that the ounny rabbit gentleman wasn't
utarting out from hie hollow ntump bungalow,
an be almost always did, with hia red, white
and bine atiiped rheumatism crutch. "What
the matter? Aren't you going to look for au
adventure today?"
"No," slowly answered Mr. Longeara, an he
phook bis pink, twinkling nose to and fro. "I'm
not going out at all any more—ever!"
"Why not?" squeaked Miss Fuzzy Wuzzy,
as she tied her wnt»kere up in a soft knot, so
they wouldn't net under her paws as sho
scrubbed the floor. "Why not?"
"Hecaose I'm afraid," said the bunny. "Just
think what happened to me the last two times
I vra* out. 1 naw Joilie Longtail, tfu> mousts
boy, and he and 1 hesrd a big nolne like thun-
der, and saw a flash of light, aud 1 nearly
fell over backward.
"Then, the next day, I picked up a carrot
I saw in the anew, aud, all of a sudden, I
thought I was shot. There waa a big flash of
light and a boom-hang nols*! No, Indeed, I'm
not going out any more!"
"Well, maybe 1t will be jest as well," said
Nurse Jane. "Only please don't get in mr
way when I'm sweeping and du.-tlng the bunga-
low."
Uncle Wlggily said he wouldn't, no he re-
mained around, going from one room to a not he.*
as Nurse Jsne worked, and lie didn't hare n
good time at all. lie wan always having t »
more, and he missed hopping orer the fields
and throucrh the woods to look fur an adventur
"But atill It's better than almost getting
shot, and Peeing r moutde l*iys he seared to
death," thought Lucie Wlggily, which are th.?
things that happened to him ir. the last tw>
stores, if you will kindly re.neinber.
&A the day passed, and Mr. Longears didn't
go out in the woods and fields, and when eve-
ning came he was very unhappy.
All of a sudden there came a rat-a-tat-tat
knock on the front door of the hollow stump
bnngalow just as Uncle Wlggily and Nurse
Jane finished supper.
"Geodaess, gracious me. 5akca alive and eom«
eommeal hash!" cried the muskrat lady. "1
hope that isn't the skillery sealery alligator
with the double Jointed tail!"
"Nounens**! Ilow could It be?" asked Uacle
Wlggily. "It's uost likely my friend, M«\
Whitewash, the Polar bear, out walking with
a snowball. I'll let him in."
But it wasn't Mr. Whitewash at all. It w.is
Sannoie I ittletail. the rabbit boy.
"Uii, I'm 1c Wirglly," • rled Sanmile, "w 11
you «i,®e to th<* si re with Jollle Longtail. J
mouele boy, arid me? I have to go. and I

"Of course I'll come!" laughed Uncle Wig

dark. It can't hurt you. Now we'll go to
the store together. It's early yet."
So off they atarted. the bunny oneJe ami
tbe rabbit and mousle boys, ua tbe way they
walked about the queer thing that had hap-

he was shot. Aud all of a sudden they passed

real moving pictures to some real children. The
door was open, the place waa dark Inside, except

NEW YolCK, I>e- 8 Henry P. Davison,
chairman of the war council of the Ameri-
can Red Cross, has just returned to this
country after three months spent in Eng-
land, France, Belgium, Italy and Switzer-
land, inspecting lied Cross activities in
those countries.
Immediately on his return Mr. Davison
issued the following statement-
More than 47,000.000 American people sub-
scribed to the American Ited Cross within
a period of eleven months a total aggre-
gating $313,000,000 in money, aud contrib-
uted manufactured goods of an estimated
value of approximately $44,000,000.
While from time to time detailed state-
ments have been Issued by the war council
showing expenditures as made and giving
full account of the operations undertaken,
few have been In a position to know, but
all should know, of the results of our work
In foreign countries by those best qualified
to judge.
I therefore, as chairman of the war coun-
cil, make the following report upon my
i second trip to Europe this year, from
which I have just returned. This trip was
made for the express purpose of inspecting
our work among our forces abroad, whl«*h
I desired especially to do bl•■ause of the
suddenly enlarged military program of our
army, which necessitated a corresponding
increase in Red Cross service to our men.
in making this raport I shall speak l6si
of my own impressions and observations,
and more of what has been said by mili-
tary and governmental officials abroad in a
position to speak authoritatively of what
the American lied Cross ' has done for
armies and for nations In the theater of
war.
My own visits to the various fronts have
gratified me and increased my pride in our
soldiers and my satisfaction in the work
the American Red Cross Is doing for them.
After rather extensive Journeys in Eng-
land, Belgium, France, Switzerland and
; Italy, I can report to the American people
that wherever our troops have been fight- ,
lug the American lied Cross has beeti with
them, conveying to them in spirit, word,
act and fact the benefits of our organiza-
tion. whose efficient work has been made
possible by the volunteer service of the
people of America.
A large American lied Cross force is
working with our troops In England, and
I a yet larger force In France, where a per
i sonnel of 18 in June, 1017, has developed
Into an organization of more than 7.000
men and women. Our other commissions,
FOR THE RED CROSS
Red Cross Circle No. 1 will meet this
morning at the central workrooms.
The Ited Cross Circle of the Woman's
Club will meet this morning at the cen-
tral workrooms.
The Highland Park Red Cross Circle
will meet at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon
at the Highland Park School.
though smaller, are equally effective in
their various fields of operation.
While most of our work in Italy has
been In connection with the Italian mili-
tary and civilian population, such of our
troops as have been there have been served
;js elsewhere.
In Switzerland our representatives are
chiefly concerned with extending relief
to American prisoners of war, though
they are also caring for the few Ameri-
cans interned in Switzerland.
American Red Cross welcomed the Amer-
ican troops at Archangel, and is also op-
crating with them on the eastern front
of Russia. In short, our American bat-
talions, wherever they may be, are re-
ceiving devoted service from American
Red Cross.
As has always been made clear, the serv-
ice to our forces is purely supplementary
to that of the army and navy, and Is
rendered on request from the proper au-
thorities. As we have been glveu ample
opportunity to demonstrate our useful-
ness, comment on the quality of our serv-
ice comes more fittingly from command-
ing officers in the army and navy than
from myself. In the course of a long
visit which I had with General Pershing,
he expressed himself at length aud with
emphasis.
In appreciation of the service which
American Red Cross has rendered to his
soldiers, he .- aid: "I want every man,
woman and child who has contributed
even a dime In money or an hour of work
to the Red Cross to understand that such
contribution has helped to meet the needs
of our country's soldiers. The value of
the service is beyond computation."
Too much praise cannot be given to
General Ir-d.ind, who, as the chief sur-
geon of the American Expeditionary
Forces, lias a full, clear grasp of the needs
of the men, and within his power left
nothing tin lone for their welfare and pro-
tection. In speaking of the Red Cross,
General Ireland said: "Tbe efficiency
of the American Red Cross organization
has been a constant source of surprise
and satisfaction to me and to the mem-
bers of my staff. Always ready, always
willing, immediately and effectively re-
sponding to every call, they have rendered
an essential service to our men the value
of which can never fully be known." How-
ever, no words can convey to our mem-
bers his estimate of the value of our
service as elearlv as the record showing
the service we have rendered at h -< re-
quest and alwavs with the co-operation
of himself and his staff.

PLATINUM BAN IS LIFTED
Government No Longer Collecting
Metal for High Explosives.
Special Telegram to The Express.
CHICAGO, Dec. 8.—The Government ban
on platinum jewelry has been lifted. Plat-
inum has been rentored to its pre war
basis for all jewelry purposes. Jewelers
have been given permission to use plat-
inum again in the manufacture of jewelry
and to sell platinum jewelry without re-
strictions of any kind.
The ban was lifted shortly after the
armistice was signed by an official order
from the Secretary of the Treasury. At
the same .'Irne, the Red Cross was or
dered to stop collecting old platinum jew-
elry and National banks were instructed
to receive no more platinum for Gov-
ernment purposes. •
The restoration of platinum jewelry to
its pre-war position in the market, coining
as ii <ii.i iu time for the Christmas shop-
ping trade, will iue«ri a much larger vol-
ume of business for the jewelers than they
had hoped for this year. It means a
trade stimulus which will be felt iu every
city and town In the United States. Plat-
inum is among the most expensive forms
of jewelry and Its sales always have been
an Important. it em In the jewelry business,
especially during the Christmas season.
The Government placed a ban on plat-
inum because the metal Is absolutely
essential in the manufacture of high ex-
plosives for shells. Chemists have lab-
ored to discover a substitute for it for
this purpose hut have been unsuccess-
ful. The world's Chief source of platinum
supply has been the mines in the Cral
Mountains in Russia and this supply was
shut off completely by the war and the
state of anarchy in Russia. The output
of the mines In Colombia, South America,
was small and did little to relieve the
situation. For a time the United States
Government faced a platinum shortage
which promised seriously to interfere with
Its munitions program. In this crisis, the
manufacturing jewelers aided the Govern-
ment materially by surrendering their
supplies of platinum.
The Government ban applied only to the
use of platinum in the manufacture of
jewelry. Jewelers wre permitted, under
special Government license, to continue to
sell platinum jewelry already made up.
Rut the urgent needs of the Government
gave rise to a general sentiment through-
out the Nation that it was unpatriotic to
buy platinum jewelry, and as a result, the
sale of platinum Jewelry, even under li-
cense, was negligible while the war lasted.
The lifting of the Government ban has
also lifted the sentimental ban and has
caused Keneral rejoicing not only among
the Jewelers but among a large class of
that no question of patriotism any longer
their patrons who were glad to loam
applied to the purchase of platinum jew-
elry.
