The Man In the Ranks
b. GRACE HOFFMAN WHITE.

It's the man in the ranks that makes the war,
It's the man that doesn't know,
Who has played at soldiers all his life,
And followed where bugles blow.
And now when the jingo waving of flags,
Ard rattle of sabers come.
He forgets his brother, the other man,
And follows the call of the drum.
He sees gray Toll in scarlet dress,
With crown of fame on her head,
And forgets the true rulers are toilers like him,
And he goes the way he is led.
They feed him out fast as "Cannon Food"
But should he chance to return.
He has got the worst in any case,
And his hardest lessons to learn.
He has risked his life for higher rents,
And taxes he cannot pay,
He has only made harder the struggle of life,
And put off the true workers day.
So don't you forget it's the man in the ranks,
1t is he who can make war to cease,
If he'll stand as a man and not die as a sheep,
He will bring the Kingdom of Peace.

There Is no greater attraction than

Another invaluable asset to beauty is

WOman'S Health
Requires Care

Women are 80 constituted as to
be peculiarly susceptible to constipa-
ton, and their general health de-
pends in large measure on careful
regulation and correction of this
tendency. Their delicate organisms
rebel at the violence of cathartic and
purgative remedies. which. while
they may afford temporary relief,
shock the system and seriously dis
turb the functional organs. A mild
laxative is far preferable and. II
properly compounded, much more
effective.

tive herbs with pepsin sold in drug
stores under the name of DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin. is ideal for wo-
mems use. A free trial bottle can

"A great course OF popular educa-
ton is the only way in which we
who know that war Is futile can
tell others.
The idea that one nation should

to mean loye for one country and a

to the first principles OF civilization.

But Mrs. White finished with the
same idea with which the inter
view had begun.
THE mere fact that he asked a
question. that there was any ques-
tiOn. that the men in America
have to be shown at all, is a proof
that popular education through
such plays as "Nar Brides" and
like propaganda is necessary.
DO you think FOR one moment,
she concluded. That we can have
any effect upon the powers and
Peoples Of Europe if we cannot

Cesssity for talling individual ac-

be convinced from the heart, for
it is only by the action OF each
man and woman, the mass. that
peace can come"
And then Mrs. White read her
poem, THE Man in the Ranks"
which covered everything she had al
ready said and made unnecessary
