"Suffering is the badge of our tribe" was once spoken by a member of the Hebrew race, but we think that it might well be ap-fld ap-fld to woman kind in general. As we have sat and watched members of the gentler sex lay in their beds at one of the hospitals an this state and suffer the agonies which are incident to these institutions, it is astonishing how much pain a -woman will suffer .. and yet bear up bravely. After submitting to the pangs of the . surgeon's knife once they will, if he says it is necessary, go back again and submit to the second torture which cannot help but be more severe than the first because of the weakened condition of the whole nervous system. Yet this is not only true of our good -women who are suffering thus in the hospitals, but it is equally true of our women in the various walks of life, whether at home or in the field working under the Red Cross emblem or under the banner of the home guards, where young heroes are being trained for future generations to uphold the lofty ideals as set forth in the Declaration of Independence, and the emblem of that freedom that waves over the home and school of every loyal Americai at home and abroad. The sterner sex should be spurred on to . greater service by witnessing the fortitude of these noble women who are o necessary in the making of a great nation.
