Oh. comrades, We are marching
With the sunset in our face.
And behind MS fall the shadows
That are lengthenin apacc.
The columns moving slowly
Toward the setting OF the sun.
And our ranks are growing thinner,
For our march is nearly done.
Behind us are the memories
OF the toiling and the pain.
The biting of the night-frost
And the pelting of the rain;
'Tis only in our dreams we pace.
The lonely picket post
And march and camp and fight
With our country's mighty host.
But the columns moving slowly now.
With heavy, weary tread,
And by army corps. our comrades
Now are sleeping with the dead.
We are bringing up the rear. boys,
And our march is nearly done,
And our camping place is yonder
At the setting of the sun.
And they tell me that ahead,
whsre the mountain shadows sleep.
There's valley we must cross
A valley dark and deep;
And through the very middle flows
A roaring torrent wide
But there's a pontoon down there
That'l. reach the other side.
And they tell me when we've crossed
That deep. dark river DER
Well never have to fight again
Nor march in any war;
Well stack our arms forever
And break our ranks for good.
For in that blessed country
They shed no human blood

President Wilson and his ad-
ylers that Notwithstanding the
sneers and ieers of the empty
headed, the malevolent and the
selfish interests that desired to
exploit Mexico for the benefit Of
their own pockets, he refused to
take advantage Of the weakness
of a sister republic, but adj
hered firmly to a line of action
that was high-minded and pa
triotic. Contrasted with the
bullying arrogance of Austria
Hungary, which has set all Eu-
rope aflame, the Presidents
course has shown the highest
craftsmanship, and his country
has benefited immensely by his
patience and tact. This fact is
generally recognized by intelli-
gent Republicans. The Boston
Herald, a loyal standpat organ,
after praising the President for
resisting the clamor to attack
Mexico and comparing his course
with that of the authorities in
Vienna under less provOcation,
says:
But the President exercised
a staying and a stealing hand.
We did not go in, We have
saved ourselves the horrors of
war, and the long legacy of hate
throughout Latin America which
would surely have followed. If

other blood cooling and nerve depress-
ing poisons. All have the same effect
to paralyze and deaden the nerve and
prevent fermentation and the stagnant
blood and rapid dissolution, as is nee
essary to get the stagnant blood out of
the system in a disease. It's this acid
condition and rapid dissolution Of stag
nant blood that produces the fever
which is always essential to the curing
of diseases. In all normal circulating
blood the alkaline predominates and all
stagnant blood becomes acid after it
has been stagnant a certain length OF
time, then it begins to ferment and
more and more acid; this irri-
tates and excites up the nerves
and makes the nerves and circu-
lation more active and the heat Of rapid
dissolution more intense, hence fever.
And if more Of it than the system can
carry out it becomes more acid and eats
its way out from whatever part Of the
body that is affected and you have a
running sore. Hence a Fever is neces-
sary to curing a disease and Sore, is
necessary to curing a disease. But the
danger is that there may be so much
stagnant blood and the dissolution so
rapid that it overtaxes the kidneys and
lungs, causes them to become strlctured
from the irritation, the heart too rapid
may exhaust it and death results from
exhaustion.
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1914-03-14

Did you ever see how crowd will
run in every direction for safety when
there is an alarm Of mad dog? A few
brave men will have to run out and
kill it to keep it from destroying every
body else, while the great majority, in
their seIfishness, just look out for
themselves and their children, no mat
ter what happens to anybody else.
They are going to take no chances. On
one occasion a great big burly man,
instead of picking up a big rock and
beating its brains out, got up on a fence
and let it go by unmOlested, but it ran
up the street and bit his child. Then
ne was frantic at the rest for not kill
ing it.
That's the way it is all through life.
Some other people, instead Of helping
you, let you fight the battle alone, and
after you have conquered come blow
ing up and brag of the wonderful thing
they've done, and if you fail berate you
that you ought to have done this or
that, but never word about what they
should have done when the evil comes
home to them or their family. In India
and America the alkaloid poisoning Of
a snake is used as medicine. In India
the snake mjects it himself, while IN
America the human reptile inJects 1t.
Other alkalOids are also used in Amer
lea, such as morphine and cocaine, and

mad dog and was bitten by him while
his saliva glands were fermented BY
having poisoned them BY eating rotten
meat at some time when the blood was
stagnant in the jaws and throat, and
the sudden fermenting of it from these
poisous overtaxed these glands and gave
him hydrophobia, and then he bites You
with these poisoned saliva glands and
you get it in your system and you have
hydrophoBia. If you have stagnant
blood around your saliva glands, the
same as smallpox or measles poison from
some glands If stagnant blood supplies
them and you have smallpox or measles.
So they vaccinate you with various dis
eases and start this ferment in you OF
from decaying animals like Freedmans
turtle soup for lungers. But it was
found that these poisons only added to
the burden of the system in carrying
out these additional poisons and ex-
hausted the more until death was the
result, and while you always seem better
for a time under these treatments while
the poison lasted and irritated your
nerves up, but the end salways ex-
haustion in shape of consumption and
running sores or cancers or heart fail
ure, and invariably death in the end.
This led the French doctors to make
tests by dividing the patients half and
half with every disease, and they found
only about one in a hundred died who
left it to nature, while those poisoned
with any kind of injections or drugs
about 20 per 100 died, which left Is

deaths out of 20 to the credit Of drugs
and various injections, while only one
out of twenty died from the disease, So
whenever you see a benzine wagon with
an NJ D. or Modern Death physician
headed towards your place you should
have the same alarm as though it were
a Mad Dog or poisonous serpent. So
the leading medical doctors now obtain
these results they were seeking for by
use of foods and cold and hot baths.
For instance. the use of acid fruits will
ferment the stagnant blood and start
if out of the system, so the attack of
anv chronic disease Is, Iessened or entire
" prevented and the baths regulate the
temperature to certain ex-
tent While the Osteopaths, es-
peciallv bv DR.. Ira w. Collins's new
method of resting any nerve to any
mart Of the body and feeding the others
with good rich blood, restores the eircu-
lation, carries out the impurities and
builds I'D the parts again, just as the
blood did when it first made that part
and YOU are well again. That is how
thew restored all these fever patients,
appendicitis, diphtheria, scarlet fever
Group. asthma, sores of every descrip-
ton. blind eyes, weak lungs, rheuma-
tism. eczema, worn out Iivers, kidney
troubles. stomach troubles, female trou-

ton. In fact every disease you car

have done for them. Come and get

Now a medical doctor tries to remedy
this in two ways, by chemical doctor
ing. He tries first to hold it down by
his snake bites or poisonous aIkaloids,
morphine and cocaine, etc, Of that ma
ture. This stops the chemical dissolution
Of your blood and cools it and paralyzes
the nerve at the sensory ganglia at the
spine. At first this would seem the
proper thing to do, but this stagnant
blood must come out Of there and the
acid conditions must exist and the heat
and fever due to the dissolution and
rapid chemical changes must exist in
order for it to get out Of the system.
So this kind of doctoring stops the cur
ING process and causes it to become
stagnant from the paralyzed nerve and
alkaline conditions of the blood, so after
you think you are better or have been
seemingly well for awhile it starts up
again and it takes a more acid condition
than before to excite up this same par
aIyzed nerve and you have it worse than
before or a chronic disease, and if you
pursue the same course as before you
either die or paralyze the nerve the
more and death is always the final re-
suit. So they try then the Mad Dog
remedies, or over acid condition, to pre-
vent the blood from remaining alkaline
or cool too long and the semi-paralyzed
nerve dormant too long. So they use
injections from various diseased ami
mails, the fermented blood while dis
eased to start yours to fermenting, Just
as if you had come in contact with a
