D. D. Prescription in diseases of ihe skin and have found it superior in efficacy to any single remedy I have ever used. It is indeed a reliable "standby” in ecezma by relieving at once the intense itching, calming the excited nerves and thereby strengthening the general system.

Laboratories, Dept. 3O0S 3845 East Havenswood Park, Chicago The Mission of the Moose (Continued from page 7) Songs and speeches that night resounded with a welcome to the Director-General and “Pop” Garland. It seemed as if the “call of the Moose” had been given for an open lodge including every human imbued with the principals of the Order. The festivities continued until the tiny hours of the morning, and the climax was reached when we found ourselves located for the rest of the night in the suite of the King of Montenegro at Hotel Meaurice. We were kings for a night and held a lodge meeting right there. To arise early and leave the downy beds of ease and the eiderdown under a canopy to go out in the cold gray drizzling dawn for the trip through Belgium brought us back to realities of a fifteen day tour of battlefields. Count Morois of the French army, representing his government, graciously acted as guide, counselor and friend. He had been with the party on the previous trip and it seemed like a reunion of comrades, when the gallant little officer in the trim uniform of the French blue and little red cap greeted the pilgrim Moose trio with a double tired auto and military chauffeur who had the speed record. The trip from Paris to Brussells was made in one day. Ordinarily it takes twelve hours in a train. The chauffeur had a heavy military mustache and they said had driven cars in speed competitive with cannon balls,— I believe it now. We spun at a regular Moose clip. The machine seemed to fairly gallop and leap over the bridges and the shell-torn roads, while we hung on. We were anxious to see just where the Germans were stopped on the advance towards Paris in the Battle of the Marne in 1914. When the first scenes of devastation and ruin were pointed out, the mark of the Hun Cain was distinct in its hellish intent. On to Montdidier, for we wanted to look upon Cantigny and all spots where the Americans had fought. Hour after hour as far as the eye could reach amid the sites of crumbled brick and mortar which were towns, homes now represented nothing but dust with an occasional wall left standing, but even cellars and all evidence of the homes were wiped out in the blast and blight of war. On to Peronne, a city where nothing remains but j ghostly spectres of ruin. Here were the sturdy Tommies standing guard over this gruesome picture. Could if ever forget that Sunday ride along the Somme! As far as eye could reach there were evidences of that death-grapple struggle—the old tanks and dugouts, the munition dumps, guns and poc-marked, shell-torn earth. It was a tragic scenic setting but the actors were gone. Every inch of the ground indicated a struggle and a sacrifice. Every foot was virtually covered with human blood, for along the Somme lie 700,000 British, the greatest charnel-house the world has ever known, a scene of desolation that would make the Desert of Sahara seem glorious. We detoured near Somme to go to Chateau Suzanne. This was the home of the ancestors of Count Morois who was with us. There were tears in his eyes as he looked on this ruin of the home of his childhood. Pictures torn away, walls defaced, the stairway demolished—the work of the vandals was everywhere evident. Why they chould break such ruin no one could understand but—e’est la guerre—it is war. Here the Count found the beautiful sylvan retreats where he had played when upon a visit with his grandparents torn and shot up as if vengeance had been concentrated on the natural beauty of the retreat. On the hill was the ancient church, torn and shattered, and the very tombs of his ancestors reaching back to the ; War Veterans! ATTENTION! h% ON THE 20th of November, 1918, just nine days after the signing of the Armistice, 52 men of all rank of the United States’ Army, Marine and other Corps of American forces, met at Blois, Loire-et-cher, France, and agreed to organize an association to be composed of men of the army, navy and marine corps and in certain cases, men of recognized war work organizations. The purpose to be to perpetuate the history of the achievements of those who served in the great World War, without regard, however, where they served, whether in the war zone or the United States, the only requirement being that the men accepted into fellowship in such an organization should be those who had been honorably discharged or released from service.

THIS IS FOR YOU—YOU NEED THE VETERANS AND YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN with your comrades in the formation of a great association, more than One Million Strong! Not a Political Organization, Not a Moneymaking Scheme, but YOUR OWN ASSOCIATION FOR YOUR OWN PROTECTION IN FUTURE YEARS. READ THIS: When a number of the original 52 men returned to the United States and to civil life, immediate steps were taken to carry out the plan adopted at Blois, France. -It was seen at a glance that to try to perfect an organization before political parties attempted the same thing, would require a great deal of money—and like most men just out of the service, money .was scarce. AN APPEAL WAS DIRECTED TO SEVERAL GREAT AGENCIES ASKING ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE MATTER BEFORE THE RETURNED SERVICE MAN THE LOYAL ORDER OF MOOSE—with over 52,000 members in the army, navy and marine corps, RESPONDED CHEERFULLY! and it is due to the Loyal Order of Moose, through the splendid assistance of the Secretaries and Officers of 1,659 Lodges of that Order, that there is now the strongest veteran association in the world, organized for the service man, by the service men and under the banner of THE NATIONAL COUNCIL.
