Letter TO "One Who Receives
None" Brings Responses
From Trenches.


Some of the heart interest OF the
present war has been brought ont by tho
exchange Of letters between the French
Academlcian Eugene Brieux and orphan
soldiers fighting for their country In the
trenches along the Aisne VI. Brieux'
who. unlike many OF Frances dramatists,
has taken his characters not from the
bouevards of Paris but from the people
OF the provinces, has endeavored in the
letter given herewith In part to cheer the
hearts OF those common soldiers who
might otherwise receive no letters from
home"

You are not asked to take Mayr's Wonder
ful Stomach Remedy for weeks and months
before you receive any beneft-one dose is
usually required to convince the most skeptical
sufferer of Stomach Ailments that this great
remedy should restore anyone so afflicted to
good health. Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy has been taken by many thousands of
people throughout the land. 1t has brought
health and happiness to sufferers who had
despaired of ever being restored and who
now proclaim it a Wonderful Remedy and are
urging others who may be suffering with
stomach, Liver and Intestinal Ailments to
try it. Mind you, Mayr's Wonderful Stomach
Remedy is so different than most medicines
that are put on the market for the various
stomach ailments-it is really in a class By
itself, and one dose will do more to convince
the most skeptical sufferer than tons OF other
medicines. Results from one dose will amaze
and the benefits are entirely natural, as it
acts on the source and foundation of these
ailments, removing the poisonous catarrh and
bile accretions, and allaying the underlying
chronic inflammation in the alimentary and in.
testinal tract, rendering the same antiseptic.
Just Try one dose of Mayf's Wonderful Stom-
sch Remody-put it to test today-you will
be overjoyed with your quick recovery and

as / noted in an inscription in this old

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
HERE'S THE REASON

The fact that there is less dyspepsia
and indigestion in this community
than there used to be is largely, we
believe. due to the extensive use or
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, hundreds
of packages of which we have sold.
No wonder we have faith in them. No
wonder we are willing to offer them
to YOU for trial entirely at our risk.
Among other things, they contain
Pepsin and Bismuth, two of the great
est digestive aids known to medical
science. They soothe the infianed
stomach, allay pain, check heartburn
and distress, help to digest the food,
and tend to quickly restore the
healthy state.
There is no red tape about our guar
antee. 1t means just what is says.
We'll ask you no questions. Your
word is enough for us. If ReXall Dys-
pepsia Tablets don't restore your storl
ach to health and make your digestion
easy and comfortable, We want you
to come back for your money. they
are sold only at the 100 Rexall Stores
and in this town only by us. Three

DON'T FEEL LIKE 1T"
This Expression has Ship Wrecked Many a
Mans Bright Prospects.

The youth who can force himself
to do a thing when ne doesn't feel
like it is the man who will win.
1t is easy to work when you feel
like it anybody can do that, but to
train yourself to do your level best
when you do not feel like it, to force
yourself up to the standard when all
your inclinatlons are pulling you
down is one of the last lessons of
culture, the finest evidence. of a
trained mind.
The habit of forcing ones self to
do ones work whether he feels like
it or not, has wonderful influence
on character. 1t strengthens and
solidifies it, and develops the power
to do things. to achieve regularly,
persistently, each day. no matter
what ones mood or environment may
be.
Don't feel like it," has been the
grave of many an ambition, the reef
upon which many a life has been
ship wrecked. The man who has
never learned to control his mood
has missed the secret of power and
happiness.
What a pitiable sight 1t is TO see
one of Gods children completely
upset, rendered unfit for work by a
temporary dependency, feeling of
encouragement! Such weakness.
such lack of trust in the power
which creates and upholds. such a
loss of faith in ones self, is the re-
suit of wrong thinking. If we think

He is Dangerous to Himself and to the

CANT HELP HIMSELF
By Herbert Kaufman

He's as dangerous as streak OF
lightning and as treacherous. He
flashes his true self without warn
ing and always hits something OF
somebody who doesn't expect the
blow.
He's the Man with the Yellow
Streak-the man who can't win.
He's wrong from eye-lash
to toe-tip. There's a flaw in his
grain-he isn't made of the stuff to
stand the strain. He's bound to
give way under pressure. His meat
is weak-his blood is thin-his
soul is lacking. He's inflicted with
an incurable moral epilepsy. He
falls down in panic every time
he's called on to stand up and show
his manhood.
He can't reach very high place
and stay there. He's cursed with

and poor alike should stand on the
same footing; neither wealth nor
power nor influence should give
possessor an advantage ever him
who has them not.
Overcome Biased judgment
Scientific investigators, If they
are moved by the true scientific spir-
it do not test theory as partisans.
To them the establishment of truth
is the only aim. and it matters moth
ing whether their theory or working
hypothesis be true or false. The
moment scientist allows himtelf to
hope or wish something TO be true.
at that moment be introduces a bias
which he may vitiate his observa-
tions. There is something almost
beyond the human in the man who
cares not whether his pet theory, the
theory on Nich, perhaps, he has
built his liie-- work. or on which he
expects to found a reputation, be
true or false. A few hundred years
ago such spirit was unknown. Men
did not ask if the view that the earth
is round is true, but what effect it
would have on religion or on their
bread and butter Those of us who
have lived through the intellectual
dispute over the evolution theory
remember how hard the religious
bias against it was to overcome.
Only recently have we seen econom-
ic questions lifted out of the sphere
of politics. where they were judged
by their effect on the party, and
submitted to impartial commissions.
Doubtless we shall reach a time
when questions of innocent or guilt
will be judged in the same way, by
men who have nothing to gain or
lose in either case, instead Of being
decided by jury of unframed men
under the influence of opposing
pleaders. Until that time the only
semblance of justice which can be
secured will be through the state
making the provision for the defense
that 1t now makes for the prosecu-
tiOn.
To protect every citizen against
unjust accusation, against unfair
punishment, should be as sacred
duty as to protect him against rob-
berry, and it will be recognized as
such when we have come to regard
a man as of as much worth as his
chattels."

WHICH is THE THIEF?

Surely there should be some law
standardizing the term of imprison-
ment. One reads with horror of a
negro sentenced in 1894 to SO years
for stealing SO cents. Had this hap
pened in Russia, or Mexico, this
would not have been surprising. In
the United States it is inexcusable.
This man has served 20 years, and
has now been pardoned. The par
don should come from his side.

justice the law has stolen 20 price.

There comes an hour when grit
surmounts all else. Then it isn't
the number of pounds avoirdupois.
or the size of the bicep, or the num-
ber of convolutions in brain that
count, but the depth of the threads
in mans screws of courage. The
Opportunity enters full winged
upon the scene and the right man
is bound to come to the front. He'll
always take his proper post-and

wears the velvet of false pride over
his threadbare patch and you only
see it when it's too late and his
cloak drops and shows his tattered
courage.
Search for him among your men
ana your associates. Don't wait until
he runs amuck. He won't give you
,warning--he loses his reason-he
doesn't realize what is happening.
In his wild zeal to protect himself
from the whiplash of consequences,
he'll lie-he'll cheat-he'll throw
the blame on the innocent. It's a
kindness to both of you not to give
him a chance to hurt himself and
you.
You can't reform him. He's
quicksand-he'll merely keep in
volving you.
Leave Him to Self
The only thing under the sun that
can possibly bring him to himself
is to leave him to himself. A great
enough shock may awaken the man
in him-no other medicine will
count.
Dress parade isn't the test of a
soldier. The best tactician isn't the
best field officer. Don't mistake his
ability under normal circumstances
for capability in emergencies. Re-
sourcefulness under the pressure of
circumstance has sent many a re-
cruit climbing over the heads of
trained but unseasoned superiors.
