government of the United States on the
termination Of the war. audit goes With
out saying that no congratulations from
any nation Will be more sincerely e1-
tended than these. The sympathies of
the British government for the United
States have been so undisguised that
even the school-boys of America have
learned to throw aside the anti-BrltlBh
feeling that used to be natural with the
American boy.

The onion has its economical
value in peace just as well as In
war. There is nothing in the wide.
wide world that is better for insom-
MA, and inducing that peaceful slum-
Der that "knIts up the raveled sleeve OF
care" Its active principles are sooth-
ing for other Ills. In union there Is
strength, is an accepted aphorism. The
same qualities are to be found In the
onion. Whether In defensive or often
sIve action the onion is "the real thing"
Careful and clrcumspect mothers have
been known to render their daughters
immune by compelling them to partake
Of a generous diet of onions before the
Objectionable young man called in the
evening. No young man, however val
orous he may have been In war, has
ever been known to cross that trocha.
II is more effective than barbed wire.
We should not decry this useful fruit,
but proclaim 1t. as 1t truthfully is,
strong In war, strong In peace. and
strong on the b:eaths OF our country

It must have been a highly humorous
situation, one which the commissioners
were entitled to no sympathy. for while
the onion has very fiery temper being
aroused, when in repose 1t Is a veritable
lily Of the valley. a harmless rose of
Sharon. 1t Is distinetIvely a war veg
etable, and its uses are as eminent in
camp as the bullet is eficaclous in bat
tie. The soldier who has INDUCED in a
monotonous diet Of bacon and salt
meats would rather embrace an onion
than his sweetheart-fOr time at
least. It is natures scav9nger, and Is
the most reliable preventive of scuTvV
known TO medical science, II not COM
mon sense. During the civil war more
onions were sent to the front than bull
lets and cannon balls, and the tears
they caused to flow when eaten like an
apple BY the veterans did not come from
the fountains OF grief or woe.
The honorable commissioners should
not have rallied so. on the other hand
they ought to have reflected on how
much Joy those offending crates con-
tanned for the American soldier in far
of land, and how many memories of
home and boyhood days their arrival
would recall. OF the times when the
Group of infancy was disarmed Of its
choking terrors by the application Of
the roasted onion. Now IL the cargo
had included IImburger cheese and
sauer kraut there might have been
some reason in Directing to an ocean
trip in such odorous companionship.
But 10 scorn the association OF the on
ion was not only un-American but rep
rehensible, for that lIlIaceous plant Is as
harmless as a luscious peach until its
emotions are agltated.
