What has become of the old. fash

during a campaign that he voted the

"Old Father Time" that greatest of

whitened the hair Of that "old fash

out Of his blood, as it has taken the
elasticity out Of his step, the strength
out of his arm. and the sparkle out
Of his eye. The passing years have
dulled his memory and softened the
heart embittered on fields that were
fought and won His memory today
broods not on the foe he met in bat
tie in the days Of his early manhood,
but rather do his thoughts dwell in
the sweet repose and remembrance of
the undying and imperishable friend

THE VICTORY WON.

Under the sod where the green grasses grow
In sweet peaceful sleep that the world never knows
His sorrow and troubles dream of the past
Mustered out now in glory at last.
More than fifty long years the swift wings of time
Has sivered the heads of these heroes of mine,
Their step grown feeble with fulIness of years
And eyes that now through the dimness of tears
Bring forth now Old Glory unfured to the sky
AS symbol of freedom most dear to the eve
Let the flowers be strewn the old veterans grave
Who gave up his life his country to save
With dear loving hands spread them over his grave
With God rest in peace" prayer for the brave
Let the red, white and blue it floats in the air.
BEST symbol of freedom, sweet messages bear.
When the last of these patriots shall pass on the way
That leads to the land that is fairer than day.

shout OF hosannas from the angels who sing

TUBERCULOSIS.

Doctors have discovered that most
of us at some time in our lives have
had an incipient case of tuberculosis
Generally the disease doesn't develop
because the infection is stamped out
by the resisting power of the blood
But occasionally the resisting power
is weakened by wrong living condi-
tions and then the germs have the
chance to get to work in earnest.
No specific cure for tuberculosis is
known. Every medicine offered as a
"cure" is nostrum. Every doctor
who offers "cure" for the disease is
charlatan
The great thing to be kept in mind
is that the development of tubercu-
losis may be prevented by right liv-
ing. What this right living consists
of is set down as follows by DR.. ]. A.
Rutledge, medical director of the
Modern Woodmen Sanitarium for Tu-
berculosis in Woodmen, Colo. This
society is now engaged in nation

wide campaign against the dread dis
ease, and the moving pictures at the
Electric theater of Emmett next
Tuesday are a part of this campaign.
Their object is to teach how to COM
bat the disease. DR.. Rutledge says:
Eight hours of every "a should
be spent at rest in bed, and that
in the fresh air. One should not
sleep so that breath exhaled is
a part of the next breath inhaled.
The body must be well nourished.
One cannot, with impunity, over
work the body to state of emac-
iation; and all forms of dissipa-
ton and excuses must be avoid
ed. When we as people fully
realize these facts, and live ac-
cordingly, there will have been
wonderful step forward toward
the total eradication of tubercu-
losis.
That comes from one of the most
successful medical men in the treat
ment of tuberculosis, and is indorsed
by every expert. 1t is the modern
method of prevention and it is the
modern method Of treatment of tuber-
,ulosis. The preaching of this gospel
IF right living, in the fresh air, espe-
tally in the fresh air at night, has
reduced the death rate from tubercu-
osis in this country from 2Ol per-
,ons to each one hundred thousand of
,opulation in 1900 to l49 persons IN
ach one hundred thousand Of popula-
ion in 1912.

A MEMORIAL DAY VISION.

The past as it We're rises before like dream. Again
we are in the great struggle for national life We hear
sound of preparationthe the boisterous drums
the silver voice of the heroic buges We thousands
pale faces of women and the flushed faces of men, in
those assembages all the dead whose dust
covered with flowers We lose sight Of them no more We
with them when they enlist in great army of free
dom We see them part with those they love- Some
walking for the last time in quiet woody places with
maidens they adore We hear the whisperings and the
sweet vows of eternal love they gerngy part
Others are bending cradles kissing babes that
asleep Some receiving the blessings of old men Some
are parting with mothers who hold them and press
to their hearts again and again and nothing and
are talking with wives and endeavorng with brave words
spoken in the old tones to drive away the awful fear We
them part see the wife standing in the door with
the babe in her armsstandng the sunlight sobbng At
the turn OF the road hand wavesshe by holding
hgh In her loving hands the child He is gone and forever
We see them all as they march proudly away under the
Haunting flags keeping time to the wild grand music
the towns and the prairies-down the fields of
glory to do and die for the eternal right We with them
and all We are by their side all the CORY fields in all
the hospitals of pain all the marches We stand
Guard with them the wild storm and under the quiet stars
We with them in the ravines running with bood-n
the burrows of old fields We with them between the
contendng hosts, unable to wild with thirst the life
ebbing slowly among the wthered leaves We see
them pierced by balls with shells in the trenches
of FORTS and in the whirlwnd of the charge, where
became iron with of steel We with them in
the prisons of hatred and famine but human speech
tell what they endured We home when the
they are dead We see the maiden in the shadow
of her We the slvered head of the old man
bowed with the last grief. The past rises before We
letters fall These heroes died We look Instead of
we and and children. The wand of pro
touches the auction block the slave pen and the whip
PING post and homes and resdes and schoohouses
and books and where all want and crime and cruelty
and fear the faces of the free.
These heroes dead They died for berty-they died
for They at rest They sleep in the land they made
Free under the flag they rendered Stainless under the SOL
emn pines the sad hemocks the fearful willows, the
bracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the
Clouds careless alike of sunshine storm each in the win
1owess palace of rest Earth red with other
they are at peace In the midst Of battle in the roar of
conflict, they found the serenity of death.

We are all treading the vanishing
road of song in the air, the vanish
ing road of the spring flowers and
the winter SHOWS, the vanishing roads
of the winds and the streams, the
vanishing roads of beloved faces. But
in this great company of vanishing
things we feel that there is reas-
surfing comradeship. We feel that we
are the units in vast ever moving
army, the vanguard of which is in
Eternity The road still stretches
ahead of us. For a little while yet
we shall experience all the zest and
hustle of marching feet. The swift
seasons, like couriers bound
for the front, shall find US on the
road and shower on US in passing
their blossoms and their SHOWS. For
a while the murmur of the running |
stream of Time shall be our fellow
at last, up there
against the skyline, we too turn and
wave our hands, and know for our
selves where the road wends as it
goes to meet the stars. And others
will stand as we today and watch us
is we disappear, and wonder how it
seemed to us to turn that radiant cor
her and vanish with the rest along
he vanishing road.-Richard lie Gal

MEMORIAL DAY.

With heads uncovered and with
hearts attuned TO grateful memories
we pause again beside the tomb
where valor sleeps. With flowers and
tears we voice the soul, and bow the
head in contemplation of the sacri-
flee. And though the language of the
lips be fruitless of a fitting eulogy,
with words that falter and that fail
the task, we strive to speak ma
tons homage TO its martyred dead.
Though crowding years have hurried
on since these brave soldiers fell on
fields Of blood, remembrance knows
no flight of years, and heroes names
and heroes deeds are treasured I'M
the nations heart. And others, too,
who fronted danger side by side with
those who fell where bullets sang,
have heard the call in later years, and
sleep again beside their comrades in |
the silent camp. And others, with
whitening hair, are yet among us,
and they gather yet, in thinning
ranks, TO march with tribute to the
brothers grave. To all these, the
living and the dead, be highest honor
and fsdeless name. Let children's
hear again the deathless
story Of their sacrifice; their sacred
dust let no man desecrate. For in
that distant day alone will patriot
sons forget their deeds, when graft
Jude shall spurn the hand that brings
a gift, and pensive memory shall
'orget her name.-Homer Hoch.
