Are We Forgetting Thomas Paine?
By ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

few Intelligent minds regard seriously.
Thomas Paine was one of the
founders of our great United States
lof America We would undoubtedly
the wise and wonderful efforts of
Thomas Paine.
In January. 1776, he wrote and
published a plea for American inde-
pendence. Previous to this he had
made strong argument, urging sapa-
ration from the mother country.
No one had been daring enough to
think of such a move before.
All the colonists had rebelled
against the unjust taxes and imposi-
tons. but Paine was the bold rebel
who dared say Liberty
After his pamphlet. Common
Sense" was published the people were
electrified. No pamphlet ever written
sold in such vast numbers, nor did
any ever before or since produce such
marvellous results. Paine donated all
the financial proceeds of the pamphlet
to the cause of liberty Gas he did with
all OF his other works. Washington,
now converted. wrote to his friends
in praise of Common Sense" assert
ing that Paine's words were sound
doctrine and unanswerable reasoning"
All Great Statesmen Fell I'm With His
Words
Jefferson. John Adams. Franklin,
Madison, all the great statesmen of
the time, wrote praisefully of Paine's
flaming arguments"
In July. six months after Common
Sense had awakened the people. the
Declaration of Independence, embrac-
ing the chief arguments of Paine's
great pamphlet and much Of its actual
wording, was signed by the commit
tee of patriots in Philadelphia.
The Great Revolution commenced
at once. The oppressed colonists took
up arms at a great disadvantage, by
reason of the lack of food. clothes,
money and munitions of war, but in
spired by the forceful message of
Common Sense" they fought bravely
and well.
His Writings Inspired the Poorly Clad
Soldiers
When winter set in, however the ILL
clad, poorly nourished little army had
been greatly reduced in numbers by
desertions from its ranks. Many of
the soldiers were shoeless and left
bloody footprints on the snow covered
line of march. All were but half
hearted at this time and many utterly
discouraged. Washington wrote most
apprehensively concerning the situa-
ton to the Congress.
Paine. in the meantime (himself a
soldier with General Greenes army
on the retreat from Fort Lee, n. J..
to Newark) realizing the necessity of
at once instilling renewed hope and
courage in the soldiers II the cause
of liberty were to be saved, wrote by
campfire at night the first number of
his soulstirring Crisis" commencing
with the words:

PRESSED HARD.
cofeee's Weight on Old Age.

When people realize the injurious
effects OF coffee and the change in
health that Postum can bring, they are
usually glad to lend their testimony
for the benefit OF others.
My mother, since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinller,
had been troubled with her heart for
number of years and complained of
that weak all over feeling and sick
stomach.
Some time ago was making a
visit to a distant part of the country
and took dinner with one of the
merchants of the place. | noticed a
somewhat unusual favour of the COT
fee and asked him concerning it. He
replied that it was Postum.
Il was so pleased with it that, after
the meal was over, bought a package
to carry home with me, and had wife
prepare some for the next meal. The
whole family We're so we'll pleased
with it that we discontinued coffee and
used Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very
anxious concerning my mothers con-
dition, but we noticed that after using
Postum for a short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to it's
use, and had little trouble with her
heart, and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not SO frequent. and
her general condition much improved.
This continued unit! she was well and
hearty.
