THE DANGER OF FOSTERING
 MILITARY SPIRIT IN SCHOOL
SOCIAL SERVICE DEPARTMENT By MRS. SIDNEY M. ULLMAN

Except a few of the larger ones the boys are overweighted by the muskst they are obliged to carry.
 The modern drill regulations are by no means adapted for work in schools un- der any circumstances Every time tell the truth about the matter generally raise a storm from persons lily informed upon the subject and from the boys. whose self-conceit engendered by this drill should be one of the greatest arguments asaina its further practice"
 Military drills foster war sentiment training boys to shoot at a target under the instruction of military men, to wear cadet suits and look upon themselves as possible recruits for the army. The drill presents wrong ideas and Is opposed to all ethical principles
 In . recent conversation with a su- perintendent of an institution in which the military spirit plays a part, he said that the military part of the school was used for the exercise and discipline. We have shown the exercise as far as the drill is concerned is not beneficial, and the discipline should be so engendered in the school that there need be no fostering of the military idea to make 1t under- stood to the pupil.
 The greatest asset any school can con- slider is the ethical principles of peace" Even hint of mllitarism is dangerous
 From the leaflet published as a protest against military drills, we quote MT. B. o. Flower:
 Every careful student of human life knows that the ideals and thoughts which till the horizon of childhood color all after life. If during the formative period the ideals which fill the child5s mind be essen- ,'si'v noble and humane, if he be taught that his mission Is to help subdue the sav- age in man, to transform swords into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks. or in other words, to become a ss 'rrr of life and dispenser of happi- ness instead of slayer of his brother ss '.,f angel of darkness, he will grow to manhood brave but gentle manly but

United States has within a year accum- ulated this colossal power
 Undoubtedly in this statement of MT. Hardngs is to be discovered the reason why the leading international bankers felt that there were no serious grounds for apprehending a break of the friendly relations between Germany and the United States.
 Mir. Harding's Cotton Explanation
 Some of those who have read MT. Hard
 ngs address are persuaded that he has rendered a great service to the country by his clear exposition of the meaning which is behind the action of Great Britain in declaring cotton contraband. All sorts of criticism and assertions have been made in connection with this action of Great Britain. Some have thought that the leaders in Great Britain have taken thls step with intent to depress the price of cotton so that the English mar ket could thereby gain undue advantage, That, in fact, has been the prevailing opinion. MT. Harding. however. points out that a view of that kind is not justi- fled. Great Britain, he asserts. is en- gagged in the most gigantic war of all history As a member of the federal re- serve board, he has undoubtedly learned for our great international financiers have for some months had good knowl- edge of the fact-that the probs bilities are that the war will be carried on until one of two things is determined-either the crushing of what is understood to be the predominant view of Germany as to military power or else the complete de- struction of the British empire One of the leading interna tional bankers said in March that he could tell when the war would end, although he could not give the date He spoke by knowledge and not by surmise, and he said that the war would end when either the British

Europe Loses Sweet Tooth.

The girls they left behind them,
the British Tommy, his French col
league and his German enemy went
off to the war, suffered good deal
more than has been supposed up to
this time.
The candy export figures from this
country prove it. Europe curtailed the
bean supply of the United States when
Austria's exports were stopped. NOW
America has retaliated by reducing
the quantity of candy sent to the old
world
The first five months of the war
caused decrease of S153,S23 in the
value of candy exports from the
United States, as compared with the
same period of the year before. Inc
value of the total exports of candy
for the calander year was s1.1S5 1884.

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which 1t
Was Almost Impossible for
Him to Lose.

There was no sound except the faint
and regular tick of watch. Other
wise silence and gloom pervaded the
elegantly furnished drawing-room.
In one chair sat beautiful girl,
her lips tightly closed. her eyes star
ing straight before her and her every
muscle tense with powerful effort
of self-control. In another sat
young man whose face expressed Sc
riousness but confidence. In his hand
he held an open watch which he OBJ
served closely. only raising his eyes
now and then to glance at the beaut-
full girl, who seemed to be in such
agony.
Five seconds. ten. fifteen, twenty
seconds passed. The position oil
neither the young man nor beautiful
girl had changed.
Suddenly her eyes cleaned with
wild light; she clasped her hands con-
vulsively, and
81 must speak," burst from her
bloodless lips.
"Twenty-four seconds said the
Young man. as he closed the watch
and put it back into his pocket. You
lose the pair of gloves by exactly six
seconds"
He had bet on a sure thing.

An Unfit Companion.

Mrs. Atherton had tried to impress
upon her young son. Eugene, that he
should play only with good boys.
Mother" said Eugene, as he came
in one dav. you don't want me tc
play with wicked boys, do you?'
NO, indeed" said the mother
pleased that her son had remembered
her teachings.
Well if one little boy kicks anoth
er little boy. isn't it wicked for him
to kick him back"
Yes, indeed. it is certainly very
wicked" was the mothers reply.
Then ! don't play with Richard
Whitney any more" said Eugene
"he's too wicked. l kicked him this
morning, and he kicked me back"

Argument on Suffrage.

Two women were having a ladylike
argument on suffrage in a New York
street car I'm not so old-fashioned
as to insist that our only place is in
the home, but" said the blonde.
"Well?" asked the brunette, with bat
tie in her dark eyes. Couldn't we
save all this trouble and fuss by just
leaving things as they are? Why can't
we go on letting the men represent us?
They do the very best they can. and
everyone l know has man some
where or other in the family" The
brunette's voice was calm. but firm.
Jack is a Republican and / am a
Democrat How can he represent me.
when he can cast only one vote?" she
inquired sternly. For a few minutes
the little blonde sat very silent. Then
she spoke. why, / never thought Of
that before II you have misrepre-
sentative man in the family. l suppose
you do need the vote" Her voice sank
in a whisper But please don't say
said So"

SAVED FROM GRAVE BY
WONDERFUL REMEDY

81 feel like it had brought me from
the grave"
After taking one dose of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy. w. E. Barnett of
Glen. Colo, found relief from stomach
trouble of years standing.
Mr.. Barnett's experience is typical
of the experiences of stomach suffer
ers all over the country. For two
years he bought and tried all kinds of
medicines and so-called cures" He
got Mayr's Wonderful Remedy and
after much hesitation took a dose.
Results were immediate. The first
dose convinced-it always does. Mr.
Barnett wrote:
81 cannot say anything but words OF
praise for your Wonderful Remedy,
after taking one bottle. ! had spent
all was able to speud for medicine
for two years. Now | feel that your
remedy has brought me from my
grave"
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it
on an absolute suarantee-if not salts
