The mufed drum rolled on the air.
Warriors with stately step were there;
On every arm the black Grape bound,
Every carbine turned to the ground:
Solemn the sound of their measured tread
As silent and slowly they followed the dead.
The rderless horse led in the rear,
There were white pumes waving over the bier
Helmet and sword laid on the pail,
For it was a soldiers funeral.
That soldier had stood on the battle plain,
Where every step the slain:
But the brand and the ball had passed him by,
And he came to his native land to die!
Twas hard to to that native land
And not clasp familiar hand!
Twas hard to be numbered amid the dead
Or ere he could hear his welcome said
But twas something to its cliffs once more,
And to lay his bones on his own loved shore;
To think that the friends of his youth might weep
Ger the green grass turf of the soldiers Sleep
The bugles ceased their wailing sound,
As the coffin was lowered into the ground:
volley was fired, blessing said.
One moments pause-and they left the dead!
| saw poor and an aged man,
His step was feeble, his lip was wan;
He knelt him down the new-raised mound
His face was bowed on the cold, damp ground:
He raised his head, his tears were done
The father had prayed DER his only. son.

How Thin People
Can Get Fat
Increase in Weight Ten Pounds or More
A Physician's Advice

I'D certainly give most anything to
be able to fat up few pounds and stay
that way" declares every excessively
thin man or woman. Such result is
not impossible, despite past failures.
Thin people are victims of malnut
tion, a condition which prevents the
fatty elements of food from being
taken up by the blood as they are when
the powers of nutrition are normal
Instead of getting into the blood, all
stay in the intestines until they pass
from the body as waste.
To correct this condition and to pro-
duce a healthy, normal amount of fat
the nutritive processes must be 'artifi-
cially supplied with the power which ma
ture has denied them. This can best be
accomplished by eating a Sargol tablet
with every meal. Sargol is scientific
combination OF. six of the best strength
giving, fat-producing elements known to
the medical profession. Taken with
meals, it mixes with the food and turns
the sugars and starehes into rich, ripe
nourishment for the tissues and blood
and its rapid effect is remarkable. Re-
ported gains OF from ten to twenty five
pounds in a single month are by no
means infrequent. Yet its action is per-
feetly natural and absolutely harmless.
Sargol is sold by G. A. Gorgas and
other good druggists everywhere and
every package contains a guarantee of
weight increase or money back.
Caution: = While Sargol has pro-
duced remarkable results in the treat
ment of nervous indigestion and general
stomach disorders, it should not, owing
to its remarkable flesh producing effect,
be used by those who are not willing to
increase their weight ten pounds or
more.-Adv.

snIPPINo--.AN INDUSTRY

Outside Of the protection which
neutral shipping affords a nations
commerce in war, the true function
Of a merchant feet is industrial. The
basic problem before the United
States is whether it shall add to it's
material resources the industry Of
shipping, keeping in the country a
greater share of the money now paid
to foreign ship owners (although
this is much smaller than popularity
estimated) and adding to the nation
al wealth the earnings derived from
carriage Of the merchandise Of
others.
Any merchant marine which can
not eventually do this will never be
a shipping in the sense that Eng
lands is. The problem is economic,
not political. Congress will do well
to go about its solution in a BUSH
nesslike way with prudent regard to
actual conditions in the worlds
shipping trade.

THE OLD SONGS LIVE

Filling the Metropolitan Opera
House in New York on Saturday
afternoon, one of the most enthusi-
astic audiences of the season heard
the opera of "Marta" sung by a
notable cast. The audience was
typical of that famous home of
music. There were representatives
Of society and fashion, there were
music lovers, there were those who
had gone to be entertained and there
were the usual run of the merely
curious. But one and all of that
great audience, according to the ac-
counts, fell under the spell of the
never ending charm Of The Last
Rose of Summer" when that aria
was reached and scene, reported
by the hackneyed express term, Gin
deEcribable," followed the singing of
the last note. The artist who
sang the aria-and in Italian, at
that-was encored until the man.
agement was compelled to let her
sing it again in English, and even
then it was many more minutes be-
fore the house quoted down.
Probably everyone in that audi
ence had heard "The Last Rose OF
Summer" sung hundreds of times
but the charm of the old song is still
there and it is this charm which will
cause the song to live to delight
future countless thousands. 1t is
just one of the old songs, one of the
songs we learned as children from
mothers lips, cried ever perhaps
in the days of our youth and now in
more mature years cherished with
fond memories. How many of the
thousands of tunes" l'cing ground
out today will be able to live along
side of these cold songs ?"

LATIN QUARTER SAD NOW.
Bmthe Rare Spirits Missing From
Their Old Haunts.

BIIthe Rare Spirits MIssInE From
Their Old HAHnts.
The Latin Quarter of Paris ia no
longer the spot singled out as the
merriest. maddest and most brilliant OF
the whole world. according to the
Vicomtesse de Rancougne, sculptor
and society girl, recently arrived from
Paris, asserts Paris dispatch to the
Net0 York Tribune. On the contrary,
II Is one of the grlmmest, hungTtest
sections of Europe.
You Americans always ask first Of
all about the Latin Quarter" she said
yesterday at the home Of Miss Grace
Bigelow, of q Gramercy Park, where
she is visiting. You hope, suppose,
to get a Vicarious thrill as you hear Of
its genius and its naughtiness, its bright
lights and easy comradeship, its
talented art students singing them
selves blithely homeward at dawn. 1t
was like that.
But today it is. the saddest part of
Paris. The greatest sculptor of Poland
would have starved there IL we had
not found him in time. Hundreds of
women and babies whose artist hus-
bands and fathers are at the war front
are In the direst necessity. The cafes
and places of merrymaking are closed
and the streets are pitch black. 1t is
an utterly forlorn place"
As a sculptor and a pupil OF the great
ROdin. the Vicomtesse de Rancougne
said that she had lonR been intimately
acquainted with the Latin Quarter, and
for this reason she had become vice
president Of the "Appui aux Artistes, I"
an organization formed for the relief
OF the families Of soldier artists.

PROHIBITION IN RUSSIA

Russia had gained the unenviable
reputation of having the most
drunkenness in proportion to popu-
latlon of all nations in Europe. The
addiction to alcohol was supposed to
be due to the general distillation in
that widespread agricultural country
from rye-or less generally from
barley or potatoes-of a beverage
called vodka. AS in France, .unre-
stricted home distillation had been
followed by enormously increased
consumption of fermented liquor.
When the government took charge
of the production of the national
drink there was joy among those
working and hoping for better
things. But fostered by the new
conditions drunkenness increased.
Then came the spectacular closing
OF the vodka distilleries by edict of
the Little Father. The civilized
world gladly believed in a reformed
and sober Russia. A great revival
OF sustained industry swept over the
country and an investment began in
some Of the comforts of home.
Temperance, however, is not a
plant which thrives under forced
growth. When the first excitement
of patriotic enthusiasm passed the
mujik was gripped by the need of
some diversion. He felt the same
instinct which in our land makes the
movie the enemy of the saloon. but
he had no eXpedient with which to
meet the drastic innovation which
had come into his social circle. The
old craving for stimulus was upon
him.
Rumors of a setback are begin
ming to reach US. Not long after
the ukase more than two thousand
secret distilleries were reported to
the minister of finance, not only for
making the forbidden vodka, but
even for filtering lacquer and var
nish. A popular drink has been de-
vised of cider, hops, and snuff, with
. small admixture of additional al
cohol.
From many cities report comes of
a large number of deaths caused by
drinking eau de cologne, wood al
cOhol, and patent medicines. The
government has increased the fine
for working illegal stills from $3.50
y $1,000, the term Of Imprisonment
The Washington times., 1915-12-12

from two to sixteen months, and
yet the illicit distiIleries increase.
A Russian newspaper says; "The
village folk had hardly time to wear
out the boots in which they marched
after the coffin Of the government
liquor monopoly before factories of
all kinds Of strong drink were
started" Still friends Of temperance
in Russia do not despair. They be-
lieve beer and light wines may come
to quench the overmastering thirst,
that tea is no mean ally and that
government must provide amuse-
ment for the idle hours Of the poor
as well as continue to prohibit the
conversion Of grain into vodka.

OSCAR STRAUSS CAREER
ONE OF ACHIEVEMENT
Born In RhenIEh Bavaria, HIS Par
cntH Being Sheep RRIseTs
and Merchants.

Oscar Straus career has been one OF
romance and achievement, says the Net1
York Times. Born in the little town Of
Otterberg, In Rhenish Bavaria, on De-
ccmbcr q. 1880 he was destined to be
honored by Ave Presidents OF the land
by which he was adopted. His parents
were sheep raisers and merchants and
were in prosperous circumstances until
1852, when he was two years old. his
father, Lazarus straus. incurred the
displeasure OF his government for the
part he took in the German parliament
tary instruction in lS4S.
Lazarus Straus fed to America and
settled in the village of Talbottom, Ga.
Two years later he sent for his family.
which included Nathan Straus and
Isidor, who was lost on the Titanic. In
Talbottom the elder Stratus established
a general store, prospered, and gave
his children a good education.
Mr.. Straus is a deep student Of
economics and has written several
books on the subject. He was the
founder of the National Civic Fedora
ton and was chairman of the board OF
arbitration which settled the dispute of
fifty-two Eastern railroads with their
engineers.
In 1884 oscar s. Straus was prominent
in a movement in this State to nomi-
nate Grover Cleveland for President

pointed him minister to Turkey. He
succeeded in opening the sixty Ameri-
can mission schools which had been
closed for years. established a healthy
commerce between the two countries,
and brought about more friendly rela-
tons between the governments. Presi-
dents Harrison and Mckinley reap
Pointed him. and when Theodore Roose-
welt needed a head for the. Department
of Commerce and Labor he called on
Mr.. Straus to take the place. delaying
the appointment a year to permit Mr..
Straus to adjust his business affairs.
When. in 1900 the crisis in the Otto
man empire became acute. President
Taft persuaded Mr. Straus, to go hack
to Turkey. this time as an ambassador,
the rank Of the post having been raised,
Mr.. Straus ran for governor of New
York on the Progressive ticket in 1872.
In 1914 he was appointed chairman of. an
arbitration commission to decide the
wage dispute between the Eastern rail-
roads and the engineers. He was for
merly president of the New York Board
of Trade and Transportation. also OF
the National Primary League, and OF
the American Social Science Associa-
ton. He was vice president OF the Ma
tional Civic Federation and the Inter
national Law Association.
