Many Children Have W orms.

Worms are a common childhood all
ment. They make children irritable,
nervous and restless, besides robbing
the body and mind of proper nour-
ishment. Watch your child. Examine
the stools and at first signs of worms
give your child treatment of Kickapoo
Worm Killer. They kill the worms, act
as a laxative and expel the worms and
poisonous waste. Tone the system and

ATTENTION, KNOCKERS!

- EIN lOlNy NlNOCNENS
BY Charles B. DriscoIl
Lucifer, angel of light, wore a great
pair of cream-colored wings, his
standing in heaven was right, he had
all kinds of beautiful things. But he
carried a crouch in his purse. He
would knock on the way things were
run-he would stand by the railing
and curse, and he started toting a
gun. Now, there are no detectives
up there and no one in heaven will
snitch, so this angel was knocking
for fair, before any one noticed a
hitch. Lucifer knocked on the gold
with which all the alley were paved,
he swOre all the parks were too old,
and he roared when a sinner was
saved. The administration, he said,
was far from progressive enough. 81
tell all you boys on the dead" said
the Knocker, this LIES pretty tough.
AS for me, I'm about to resign from
this OId-fashiOn bureau of light and
Pm thinking it sure would be fine to
lead off with some kind of a fight"
He started his fight, so they say, with
a bomb and 16-inch shell. He was
dropped from the payroll next day,
and the next week he had landed in
hell. They tell me he's stopping there
yet, at the Sign of the Hammer and
longs. His apartments to knockers
are let and each guest is placed where
he belongs.

front of the skull bare. This fearrul
wound was covered with a dressing.
He lay there calm, silent and motion

stopped in front of him and asked me
what was his case. He seemed really
touched. There is war for you. mes

Then. turning to one of his suit. he
said, Please bring me some wine ana

that the Germany which Bismarck

that address Bismarck said:
THE very strength which we are
seeking to acquire through a legitimate
preparation for the eventualities of
war necessarily contributes to making
US peaceful people. That sounds par
adoxical. and yet it is true. The mill
tary machine which we are seeking to
develop Is too powerful. too mighty
weapon to be heedlessly employed In
war of aggression.
If we in Germany are to wage a
successful war, Il war in which we
develop the full power of our national
strength. ii must be war to which
every one who participates and every
one who makes sacrifices for il brings
the conviction that ii was unavoidable
1t must be war of the people war
which can be carried on with the same
unanimous enthusiasm that brought
the war of 1870 to successful issue.
I'VE caunot forego this advantage
