But, for several generations, the
Americans have become more and more
urban dwellers. Most of the men of
the country today live in cities. Most
of them never pulled trigger With
them the perils of the chase consist in
lodging trolley cars and automobiles
IN an effort to reach the butcher shop.
Their foes are not the scalp-lifting In
dams. but the furniture lifting in

They have grown away from the an
cient conception of "a citizenry trained
and accustomed to arms"
Read the recent lengthy debates in
Congress and you will observe there
the reflection Of various and conflict
ing schools of thought in the country,
resulting from modern day conditions.
There are some who think the coun-
try needs no defense, either of a
trained" citizenry or otherwise
Others prefer a hired army of sub
stantial proportions to do whatever
fighting might be necessary Still
others opposing. as contrary to the
spirit of American institutions, large
standing army, hold with the Presi-
dent that the national dependency must
be on a trained citizenry.
But among these there are subdivi-
sions of thought. Several congressman
advanced the idea in the debate that
because the volunteer rifemen COM
manded by Andrew Jackson defeated
British regulars at New Orleans, there
was no reason to doubt that American
citizens could not repeat the perform
ance tomorrow IL necessary.
Others held that training in the use
of the rife Is more necessary now than
ever before, since the rifle of today is
weapon than 1t ever was before. and
that instead of having the same pro-
portion of citizens who can use the
rife, We have a less proportion than at
any time in the past.
Setting aside all that debate. how
ever, the fact remains and is generally
recognized that the presidents strong
words promise to bring about in the
shooting, not only among the units of
the Army. Navy and Marine Corps and
National Guard, but among citiz' : as
well.
How many persons are there in the
country trained and accustomed to

Why You sneeze.

There is more than one cause for
sneezing. and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to
sneeze, the pollen of certain plants
will affect others, and most people
are likely to neeze in the presence Of
dust. Such sneezing is due to super
fetal irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect Of
cold is different. It is an attempt Of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat
for warming the blood and preventing
you from taking more cold-to help
relieve the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an
act of the ose alone, this being mere
ly the part Of the body where It ex-
plodes. 1t is an act Of the entire body.
during which every muscle gives a
jump. The body is affected by a
spasmodic effort to warm the entire
system and throw OFF the cold.

THE SCREAM IN THE NIGHT.
Tor some moments, I stood staring
up into the darkness, half expecting
that shadowy figure to reappear, de-
scend the ladder, and rejoin me. Then
1 shook myself together. The fact that
u plot was really moving. that Swain
was in HI enemy's country, SO to
speak, gave the affair a finality which
it q lacked before. 1t was too late
now to hesitate or turn back: we must
press forward. I felt as though, after
q long period of uncertainty. war had
been declared and the advance defi-
nitely begun. So 1t was with a certain
ense OF relief that I turned away,
walked slowly back to the house, and
sat down against upon the porch to
wait.
Now waiting is seldom a pleas
ant or an easy thing. and l
found 1t that night most unpleasant
and uneasy. For; before long doubts
had subscribed to. 1t would have been
wiser. I told myself, If it had been I,

IL was quite possible she might be mis-

AN EASY WAY TO END
CATARRH FOREVER
Simple Home Treatment Destroys Germs
Of This Dangerous Disease

simple Homo TredLulouC OeSLIOyS GoInh6
Of This Dangerous Disease.
The reason why SO many people who
suffer from Catarrh never seem able
to get cured is that they are continu-
ally seeking the momentary relief Of
sprays, dOuehing, greasy creams, oint-
ments, etc. Such things do open up
the swollen nOstrils and clear the head,
temporarily, besides stopping for a
while the disgusting blowing, hawking,
splitting and choking, but they never
cure. To drive out Catarrh for ood
you have got to get down to its real
cause. Catarrh is germ disease. The
air is always full of catarrh germs
thrown off by one person and absorbed
by another and when the system does
fail to throw off such germs they find
permanent Judgement in the nose,
throat and head and multiply rapidly.
The germs of catarrh can be best
destroyed by inhaling the pure medi-
Gated air of Hyomei pronounced High
o-me). This splendid and powerful
combination of oil of Eucalyptus with
other healing agents has a wonderful
germicidal action. You breathe it's air
into your nose, throat and lungs by
means of small hard rubber inhaler
which Daniel j. Fry and other leading
druggists here in Salem and vicinity
supply with every treatment. This
medicated air is certain death to the
germs of Catarrh and drives them COM
pletely out of your system and when
