the nation will look back to the deeds
Of the heroes who saved the Union,

an age, the majesty of which cannot
be moderated by any change of ideas
as TO the utility of warfare Hence
the tribute paid the dead heroes of

nation, without disparagement to the
men who fought on the other side,
will unite in acclaiming the men who
preserved the nation and made it the
mighty leader in all movements for
the peace and honor of mankind.
War may be all that it has been
painted and It's horrors cannot be too
gravely set forth, but there is a pro-

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close

When the bowels are inactive, loss of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir-
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences Of physical disorder are soon
apparent
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child q
teaspoonful of DIR. Caldwells Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat TIE
dose the following night. If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits. and
eat and sleep normally.
DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in soc and $l.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for sample to DR.. w.

FATTENlNG VALUE OF PEAS

There is no kind of live stock CT
the farm to which peas cannot be
fed with positive advantage when they
are to be had at prices not too high
They are not commonly fed to horses.
since they can seldom be spared fol-
such use, but they make good food
for horses at work, and for colts

given as part of the grain food.
AS a food for fattening cattle. peas
are probably unexcelled. Much Of
the success which Canadian feeders
have achieved in preparing cattle for
the block has risen from the free use
of peas in the diet.
During the first part of the finish
ing period they will be found peculiar
ly helpful in making beef, owing to
their relative richness in protein, b:s
they are also a satisfactory food at
any stage of the fattening process.
During the first half of the finishing
period peas will be found superior to
corn, but toward the close of the same,
corn could probably b. fed with
greater relative advantage.
Peas with oats or bran make an ex-
oellent grain food for cattle that are
being fattened. Speaking In gen.
eral way, peas should form about one
third, by weight, of the meal fed, but,
as every feeder knows, the relative
proportions of meal used should vary
| somewhat as the season OF fat
tening progresses.

If Youngster Is Properly Handled
From Beginning It viii Not Give
Much Trouble.

The farmer owning 40 acres or
more of land, who does not raise at
least one colt every year, is not doing
his best. The mare will do most kinds
Of farm work and raise her colt with
out much loss of time. If the colt is
properly handled from the beginning
It will not give much trouble. Never
allow it to run after it's mother when
she is working.
This worries and frets the mare,
and it wears out the colt. Keep it at
the barn, loose in a box stall, and
tempt it with little clover hay and
pats. Early colts will be weaned pref
soon now. If they have been
brought up to this point right. wean-
Ing does not mean much. Feed more
frequently with sweet clover hay, oats
and corn, and the colt will soon be
able to take care of itself. Keep 1t in

At is easy enough after war has
/ been fought to prove the uselessness
of it. 1t has often been shown how
the difference between the north and
the, south might have been adjusted
with such terrible waste of life and
treasure. Grant that within the de-
vices of political expediency these
preventions were possible, the fact
still remains that the wars were
! fought, that great moral faults were
purged, and the God OF battles en-
| forced his ancient law of eye for eye

What if the purging was drastic

the stronger and the sweeter for that
conflict. For it was not merely the
quarrelsome distemper of war that af

eases; not human slavery alone. but
| factional jealousy, greed selfishness.
state disagreement and federal
abuses. How vastly these have been
eliminated can be appreciated only
| by a study of the injustices Of that
i ante-bellum period. The nation in
that memorable struggle was expected
| by cynical observers in Europe to
crumble and fall. But these observers
failed utterly to grasp the significance
of the struggle that was being fought

Instead of perceiving a giant rending
himself. as they thought they were
watching a giant wrestling with the
evil that was within him.
AS the day of that conflict ever re-
cedes, and the din grows less stri-
dent to the ear, its better significance
makes itself felt The broad page Of
history teaches lesson that partici-
patton in the actual war itself might
not have taught. If any soldiers stood
in the trenches unmindful of the sig
nificance of the struggles in which he
was part, he is not unmindful now

one or another walk Of life. The ten
dency Of mankind is to seek to have
the fame of the great ones equal in
duration with their bestowing upon
their fellow-men. There is one day
for the American people that stands
alone in solitary grandeur, separated
in the high flights of glory that en-
circle it, isolated, yet majestic in the
pathos which will ever attend its
celebration. That day is Decoration
day. In these times, when the peace
pipes are as soundful as the pipes of
Pan, when the bugle is becoming
hoarse, while the herald's trumpet
announces general arbitration treaties
to the ends of the earth, in these
times, when the progress of mankind
appears to be set toward the fulfill
ment of the far-off prophecy that
swords shall be turned into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks
it is well to lay emphasis upon the
day that has the most distinctive
glory of any peculiarly American
holiday The glory of Decoration day
Is that It holds in national hallowing
the mighty deeds of brave men. Their
deeds will be immortal, who fought
not because they had spleen toward
their brethren-now united In the
bonds of a common home, endeavor
and destiny-but because they saw
shattered nation wrecked upon the
shoals of sectionalism. They will be
immortal because the tendency of
mankind is to have the fame of the
doors of great deeds conterminous
with the benefits conferred. The ben
efits will be everlasting and augment
ing, so that Decoration day, far from
having diminished glory when the
last of the soldiers of the hdtion shall
have passed away, will have even
more honor paid it. The growth of
the nation, the working out of its
destiny, the recession OF sectionalism.
the magnifying of the incidents of ma.
tional progress and national purpose
these are all factors in the march
of progress that shall forever make
hallowed the day sanctified by mem
cries of the blood of the nations de-
tenders. Sad indeed, the occasion
for fratricidal strife, but the working
out of the national issues from the
glorious battlefields of the nation
in it's great domestic contest make
even the pathos of the warfare elo-
quent with brotherhood, unity and a
common devotion.
The time may come when war will
be regarded as barbarism outright,
when the closeness Of the nations and
the identical interests of the powers
viii be such as to obviate warfare.
when the tribunals will exist for the
support of all international causes
without recourse to war. But the
time can never come when the laurels
of the warrior will be dimmed No
