Patriotism and Fnds.

Like everything else there are fads and
fads. When a fad is in vogue which bears
no resemblance to sense or has any good
foundation, it is not worthy of encourage
ment but the fad that the American peo-
pie at large have possessed themselves of
al the present time, has indeed a worthy
and great cause as its creator. Who can
but help have their noble sentiments
stirred to their very nights by the war that
is on US now. and by our noble boys who
have gone in defense of our country and
to fight for the cause of humanity and JUS
tice. Every good American, be they man
woman, or child, should not hesitate to
bow to the decree of this fashionable, pa
triotic and up-to-date fad. We have am
ply prepared for the great demands of this
fad and have a fun and complete line of
