SOME READABLE VERSE
NATURES DIET

NATURES DIET -.
There is sadness in the sunshine;
there is madness in the rain,
And though the winds are soothing, in
the zephyrs there is pain;
And the best of stomach action oft
goes wrong in spring of year,
Causing awful indigestion and the
heart goes acting queer.
1t all means,
Eat greens!
All the winter we've been living on the
meats and fat of land,
We've been overheat1ng systems, do
ing what all science banned,
We have got our corporations all
confummoxed, out of fix;
So revengeful but wise nature now
is playing us some tricks;
What she means,
Eat green's!
'Tisn't needful to call doctors or to
fill your belt with drugs,
Just quit piling in wrong fuel that
your locomotive plugs,
Just accept the earth's good offer
ings; eat vegetables, fruit,
And devour more o. ESQ llentS, thus
getting down to roots;
Which means
Eat gIoci.s

WHAT FATHER MISSED.

When father was a boy, he says,
He was a model son,
He never did single thing
He hadn't orter done,
He always went to Sunday school,
He says he did, at least,
An never, never acted mean
To either man or beast.
He never canned a dog, he says,
He never kicked a cat,
He never punched feller's nose,
Err anything like that.
He loved to work around the house,
The chores wuz always done,
Well, all 1 got to say is this
\ He missed a lot Of fun.

THE NEWSPAPER

THE NEWSPAPER
I'm verse;
Fresh from the presses and smelling
of ink,
Dropped at your door neatly furled,
Flung from tie hands Of the men who
can think
To the millions of homes in the
world;
Pulsing with tales of the day and the
night,
Wireless waves from the poles,
Warm with reality, strong in it's
might
Served with the coffee and rolls.
Wonderful tumble of sinner and saint,
Jostled and hustled and thrown;
Death for the background and hearts
blood for paint,
Man for man using his own;
Crafts and delusions, conspiracies,
shams,
Battle and murder and strife,
Suicide, sin, the injustice that
damns-
Lies? Man alive, why, it's LIFE!

And brighten every prospect

And life a load of sorrow
From the burdened backs of sin;
Diffusing light and knowledge
Through thorny paths of life;
1t gilds with silver lining
The storm clouds of strife.

THE HAGUE, May 24-The Germans and Aus trans have concentrated six hundred deighty thousand men along the Italian frontier, and hope to make Italy tired of the in a short time by strik ing a heavy blow. The effect of the first heavy blow is expected to dishearten the Italians that they will be ready to accept modification of the original demands made upon Austria. Only ten of the thirty divisions of the Italian army have been mobized and placed in position along the frontier, that the Teutons plan to overwhelm the enemy with force of numbers. The supplies that have been reaching Germany through Italy and have been cut off, so that the partcipa- tion of Italy in the war will seriously affect the domestic condition of Germanys population and perhaps have considerable influence in preventing her from supplying her soldiers with fresh ammu- milton and shells.

PETROGRAD, May 24-The German offensive movement has been definitely checked along the upper San river while the Russian advance to the westward threatens the German positions on the east.

 Another strong Russian force east of Przemysl is pressing against the right wing of the German army and forcing the Teutnos to yield some ground. At the advanced position south of Przemysl, the Germans are furiously battering the Russian front for distance of twenty miles, but so far all their attacks have been successfully repulsed, although they have desperately charged the Russian posi- tions, and lost heavily.
