CAMELS are in a class by themselves—êasDy the. most refreshing, the most likable cigarette you

ever smoked. You can prove that 1 Simply compare Camels pufF-by-puff with any cigarette in the worid at any price! Put quality, flavor and cigarette satisfaction to the-atmost testl

Made to meet your taste, Camels never tire it,.nb, matffer how liberally you smoke them I The expert blend of choice Turkish and choice Domestic tobaccos makes Camels delightful—so full-bodied, yet so &iscinatingly ôotf i and mellow-mild. Every time you light one you get nev/ and keener enjoyment I

Freedom from any unpleasant cigaretty after taste or any unpleasant cigaretty odor makes Camels as unusual as they are enjoyable.

In fact, Gameis appeal to the most fastidious smoker in so many new ways you never will miss the absence of coupons, premiums or gifts. You '11 prefer Camel Quality /

SoMBy OEOROE H. BROWN^

AYER, MASS.

What are -we •women to do In this ma t te r of a l/eague of Nations? 'What par t a re •we to play In It?

W e have come to the place now •where we cari fly In a day from this country to any other country on tbe earth, altaost, and w e - h a v e become eo closely interallied t ha t national interes ts merge the one •with. Ihe oth»r, in such a manner t ha t we cannot go alone. We must look facts in the face. AU humani ty is one. The world is one. And no nation can suffer unless all nat ions suffer. No nation can prosper 'without all nations prospering. We have got to take facts as they a re and we have got to flnd out the best thing we can have. The best thing tha t has been given us and the only thing we have before us is this League of Nations. We have no other League of Nations. We have only tbls one. We must take this one or no one can tell wha t •will come.

Suppose we do not.s.lEn the Peace Trea ty as it Is. Supp>ose the Senate of the United S ta tes re tuses to sign it with the L e a ^ e of NaUons Covenant in it as it is now, but amends the League of Nations provision so tha t it is of no value whatever , wha t will happen? There is one clause in tha t Trea ty which declares tha t if any three nat ions sign the Treaty 'with Germany afi. i t s tands , then they may enter into internat ional relations witb Germany. They m a y open, up trade and s tar t to do business with Germany just the same as if all the other nations had signed it.

President Lowell, of Har\ 'ard, has clearly explained every single idea there is in the League and every purpose of it—simply that we may be able to have some sort of an organized body by which we may have international cooperation in keeping peace, international cooperation in helping to protect weaker peoples, international cooperation in providing a certain uniformity of law in the protection of the laboring people ot the world, international cooperation to prevent the spread of disease and other evils. ITiere is little for me to say on that last proposition. When influenza was sweeping over the country didn't we wish that we had some kind ot an international heal th bureau by wliich we could have kept that disease out? And tha t is only the beginning of many diseases which will sweep the world as a result of the war, of the impoverished condition of Europe and the unhealthful conditions of living forced ui>on the soldiers In the t renches.

We, women, the mothers ot the race, have given everything, have suffered everything, havo sacrificed everything, and we come to you now and say, "The timo has come when we will no longer sit quietly by and bear and rear sons to die at the will of a few men. We will not endure it."

To you men we look for support. W e look for your support back of your Senators and from this day until the day when the League ot Nations is accepted and ratlfled by the Senate ot the trnHed States . It should be the duty ot every man and every woman to see to It that the Sen.ators from their state know the will of tho people; tha t thoy know tha t the people will tha t something shall be done, even though not perfoct; that there shal l bc a beginning, from which wc shall construct something more perfect by and by; t h a t tho will of the people I« that this League shall be accepted, and tha t if, in thc Senate of the United Sta tes , there a re men so blinded t y pai-tlsan desire for present advant3|;e, M blinded by personal pique and narrowness of vision, that thcy cannot see tho large problems which involve tho nat ions ot the world; then the people 6f the Sta tes must see to It that o ther men s i t ip he seats ot tho highest .

A« to Shaving. Wlicn li comes to shaving, wo hnvo

the word of Pliny for It thnt Sclpio Afrloanus wns the first mnn who ever slinvcd everyday. Whether Mr, Afrl-cnnus shaved himself or was shaved by a barber, Pliny does not sny, but It mny bo gathered from certain remarks of Talleyrand that this Is an Important point In any man's habits. Asked If Nnpolcon cut his own whiskers, tho great French s tatesman replied: "Yes. Ono bom to be a king hns somcoho to shave him, bu t t h e ; who acquire klDgdoms shdvo themselves.'

Clipping, The following, addressed to the edi

tor, was taken from a recent issue of the Boston Herald:

I read in this morning's issue of the Herald thc. editorial "Bring the invalids to Devens hospital" and I .am glad that there is a Eoston paiier that will stand for the Nevy Engla'nd boys who in. tliese so-called da;,s of petice are apparently side-tracked and temporarily forgotten. 1 regret that public sentiment - isn't' s tronger and thtit it doesn't reach the cars of the directors In Washington so that those homesick. neart-siCk. bat tered, heroes, at distant hospitals like- Plattsburg. X. Y.. and Kox Hill. Staten Island, might be returned to their home territory, at least.

1 havo beon a weekly w-orker an.l visitor at the base hospital at Camp i>ovens for several months, and htive kn.own several hundred men. Scores of them I can call by name, my visits were so freciuent.' 'I also had, many mon at Iny country place hero in Pepperell for tl day or week-end. tivor-aging about twenty each week, foi rest an.l recuperatb.n. I came f know them very wel; tin.l when they w-ere suddenly notified of their "move on" to Plattsburg, flfteen of them who w.ere able came to say good-bye. Thoy loft very reluctantly tind since then I have received many letters of discontent and deep regret for their t ransfers, with many a good word for "old Deven.s" and the good people . wh'o came in to cheer them up while tliere and lend them a heiping hand.

I hope your paper may impress on the minds of .our- influontial public-spirited, patriotic Now- England citizens that the human thing to do is to restore our boys to tb.eir homo territory w-hon Plat tsburg closes October first, and w-hy not b.ick to old Camp Devens h o s p i t a l ? ' I - rsonal ly . I have opened iny home hore in Pepperell to convalescent and disabled soldiers and sailors and could the boys come back to Dovons they would be within a few mile.s of it and enji.y its privileges.

1 hope somethinLT may occur to brii:g tibout this result. ('. li. il.in.iiton.

Ffrft Meeting of llic S<-a.son. Tho I'nltod Workers of tho Ortho

dox church opened tlioii' season very auspiciously Wednesday . i i i^he i r first meeting which was hold with the president. Sirs. W. I'-. Conant, At tho business meeting Îrs. G. H. Conant announced the program.- the leaders, the subjects and the text-book, for the year ; "A crusade of compassion." t reat ing of -medical ' missions. . >Irs. C. V. Flagg announced the commlttoos tor tile annual fair, and Miss Julia. Conant addressed the society' on the ap port ionment, tho work of other organizations in this branch and also briefly discussed the 'h is tory of the Littleton auxiliary. The president announced the fall meeting of the N'orth Middlesex branch of missions, which will be held in .Shirley church October 1-1, the program of which promises well with an addrcss by Mrs. Idti Vose Woodbury, .a most able" speaker In the morning.

•There was an audience ot good size a t the opening of tho regular program at three o'clock. Mrs. Thomas Stephens led in tho devotional exercises, af--ter which Mrs. Alden Clark ot India was prosented. Mrs. Clark gave g r a p h , ic descriptions of the Indian boys In training at the camps preparatory to entering the world war to which India contributed twice sis many men as the United States, and who served twice as long. She related some of their sulteringi!. par t icular ly In the death t r ap of Mesopotamia (Mespot. as they called i t ) , the generosity and loyalty of the people ot all classes at home, part icularly the princes, in opening their homeri -for tho overflow of patients from t h e . hospitals, the heavy-casualty list, and the heavy death toll frnm Influenza. '

Added to all the miseries of war was tho famine in India and the high cost of livine which tho iiooplo arc coping with althoii.iih burdened to the limit w-ith debts, as thev universallv-are in normal times. Uut in spite of all fiiat seems discoin-aging looms tho lirospect fjf freedom, onlighlment and cnliirue.l soi-ia] ser\-ice for the women of India that tho Red Cross w-ork has rcvealeil, and Iho breakin.^' of tho barri,^t-s between thc castes, India seeks the advantages of 'western civilization, which. Itowo.vor, musl bo pre-coded by. Christianity's supplanting Hinilooism and ^Jollamedanism.

The country today needs mono doc-toi-s. nurses and native leaehers of moral s t rength and far-reachin.g influence. Later, in response to ciues-tions, Mrs, Clark described Dr. Parker, her wiu-k. and the hospital in which sho is follow-ing hei- profession to the great bonofit to those to whom sho ministers.

The mooting closed with prayer liy Miss Houghton.
