Unlike a poet, patriot is
made, not born. By this !
mean that it is the education
and early environments OF 9
man that decides him in his allie.
glance to any country. If you took
a Frenchman, at the hour OF his
birth, and educated him in Ger.
man schools and colleges, he would
be, to all intents and purposes, a
German, and would shout "Hoch
der Kaiser" with the best of them.
But patriot, once made, is sell
dom made over. He may modify
his views, to a certain extent, but
he never entirely withdraws his
allegiance from the land of his
early teachings. For instance
take the Italian immigrant. AS
far as my personal experience
goes, the dago's great and only
ambition is to save up enough
money to enable him to return to
Sunny Italy, and there live the
rest of his life in ease and COM
fort. He likes the freedom OF
this country all right. He be-
comes a citizen as soon as he can,
but in his heart he does not re-
nounce his allegiance to the land
of his fathers.
But what is patriot anyway !
The general definition is, one who
doves his country. But love OF
country will often lead men to do
and say things of a very diversi-
fled nature. One man discourses
blatantly on the grandeur of the
sentiment expressed in the Con-
stitution. He is never tired of talk
ing about the great, patriotic,
aiberty-loving people. As if all
people we're not liberty-loving.
Another man, instead of counting
applause, sticks to actual facts, re.
gardless of their unpopularity.
He indicates the mistakes that
have been, and are being made,
and shows the remedy. He deals
out common sense, and is often
called unpatriotic on that account
A case in point: Some weeks
ago, in picking up a newspaper,
/ was startled by large headline
which read: "We can whip any
navy in the world-Dewey." In.
stantly I questioned whence this
sudden accession of strength p
But [ was relieved a moment later,
by the wording of the subhead.
ing: Except England's, our navy
is the best" Even that was but q
slight modification, and I read
further. Admiral Dewey's actual
statement was: "Our navy is in
such shape now, that with the ex.
ception of England's, we can whiI
any navy in the world" Then he
said: 81 will modify that, anc
say that we could make a GOOD
showing
A few weeks later, Admiral Cogh
Ian, in an address to the Patris
Club of New York, said, in effect
sour navy cannot rank higher
than fifth among the navies of the
world. We have only eighteen
ships of the fighting class, and two
of these are laid up for repairs
leaving only sixteen ships avail
able for immediate use."
Now, ask, who is the real pa
triot? The man who is blindl,
optimistic, and who makes foolish

A mother should come to her child's aid at this critical time and remember that Lydia F. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound will prepare the system for the coming change and start this try ing period in a young girls life without pain or irregularities.
 Miss Emma Cole of Tullahoma, Tenn, writes:
 Dear Mrs. Pinkham:
 "I want to tell you that am enjoying bet ter health than have for years, and owe it all to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- pound.
 When fourteen years of age suffered al- most constant pain, and for two or three years had soreness and pain in my side, headaches and was dizzy and nervous, and doctors all failed to help me.
 "Lydia E. Pinkham Vegetable Compound was recommended, and after taking it my health began to improve rapidly, and think 1t saved my life sincerely hope my experi- ence will be help to other girls who are pass ing from girlhood to womanhood. for know your Compound will do as much for then.'
 If you know of any young girl who is sick and needs motherly advice ask her to write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she will receive free advice which will put her on the right road to a strong, healthy and happy womanhood. Mrs. Pinkham is daughter-inlaw of Lydia F. Pinkham and for twenty five years has been advising sick women free of charge.

RESCUES CHILDREN AND DIES
Checotah. I. r.. Mother Burned to
 Death in Own Home.

Muskogee, I. T.. Oct. 11.-A disas trous fire swept the little town of Checotah, twenty miles south of Mus kogee last night, and Mrs. Strother, a milliner, was burned to a crisp in her home The loss in dollars is not estimated at this time, but it is heavy.
 The fire broke out last night about midnight. It's origin is not known. There is little fire protection i'll Che cotah and before the fire could be checked it had burned a dozen small frame buildings.
 Mrs. StrOther was a mllllner and lived in the rooms over her store. When the fire broke out she was awakened. She hurriedly got her three children down the stairway to safety and telling them that she would be back in a r.inute, she remounted the stairway and disappeared in her bedrooms. That was the last seen Of her.

Judge Beer By
 It's True Worth
Progressive Men and Women Consider It a Means to National Temperance.

We have recently published q num- Der of articles on the food value of beer, and We believe that sooner or later beer will be recognized Ut it's true worth, as food beverage of splendid tonic effect and high nourisling value. Noted men and women of this country are already alive to the situation and besides Miss Phoebe Cousins and pr Joseph Feisler of Northwestern Tni- Versity, many others of note give their endorsement to beer as a means to na- tional temperance.
 Miss Cousins, for a quarter of a cen- tury the most eminent woman suf- fragc advocate in the West said in a recent interview: "Fhere never will be a law that will compel prohibition, and the sensible thing for the W omen s Christian Temperance Union to do is to aid in the substitution of mild nourishing drinks like beer, which sell dom produces drunkenness. A prom- nent army officer who served in the Southwest, operated canteens at three so acceptable to the soldiers, who found beer satisfying their demands. that he actually ran all the low dives of the surrounding neighborhood out of business"
 Pabst Beer meets all the demands for mild. healthful, refreshing bever age such as Miss Cousins suggests. It is made of the exclusive Pabst eight day malt, choicest hops and pure water. Eight-day malt, which is the only perfect malt, gives Pabst Beer it's superior food value and richness. quires. it is refreshing and satisfying.
 Perfect in age purity and strength, absolutely clean and containing only three and one-haf per cent of alcohol. Palst Beer is the ideal temperance beverage. No other is so Aealthful.
