SAYING THANK YOU.

One of the many virtues is to say
fThank you,' audibly. A man
surrenders his seat to woman in a
crowded car and, of course, it is no
more than his chivalric duty to do
so. Nevertheless he feels mildly
resentful when his sacrifice is ac-
cepted in utter silence and she
fiounces into the vacant place with
out so much as a glance at her bene-
factor.
1t is only human nature to expect
at least a civil Acknowledgment.
The meek and quiet person who
sometimes dares to ask simple
question from another human being
in little temporary authority and
who is trodden under foot, metaphor
ically. by the discourtesy of the
reply, or by the manner in which it
is given, stands in a way to be
revenged on the oppre ssor because of
the drift of the times.
The practical value of courtesy as
an actual business asset is coming
to be so generally recognized that the
modern employer considers politeness,
together with honesty ard sobriety,
as among the Indispensable quslifica-
tions for one who sees to enter his
service. The brusque, iIl-natured
employee drives business from the
door, even as the deferential one at
tracts trade and makes friends for
the establishment.
There is no better method of throw
ing sand into the machinery of bust
ness than by having few discourte-
Gus employees. Even one such per-
son can give wide offense. A man
who was trying to make a train asked
an employee of store to wait on
him quickly as possible and was told
to Hstand hitched awhile That
prospective customer never came back,
and his trade and good will were not
negligible things, as sometimes may
be the case. A Philadelphia bank
president, in talk to about six score
of his employees the other night told
them how an act of simple courtesy
that day on the part of an incon-
spicuous clerk had brought to the
bank a new account of one hundred
thousand dollars.
But it is not entirely a question of
money nor of business success. 1t
has to do with the general comfort
and ease of living. Courtesy is one
of the lubricants of life. 1t makes
the day go more easily and happily
in the Office, the school or the store.
Whatever place a man occupies, high
or low. it is easily possible to tell
whether or not he is a gentleman by
the tone of the answer he gives to
what may seem to him an unneces-
sary question, or by the very air
with which he meets the public. If
he is not gentleman, he has no
call to be in a place where he is
brought into contract with the public.
For in a way he is a teacher of manners
and an example. -2x4.

The Sunshine Man.

Did y'ever hear about tn funny,
sunny Sunshine Man? He's got q
heart that's bigger than yer
gran mas warmin pan, head that s
like it's all on fire, N feet that s
made of gold, n a grin jes' like a
watermillion cut in two, I'm told ;
n he sprinkles out the sunshine from
a great big waterin' can, n We jes'
can't help a-lafin' at the Sunshine
Man.
N when yer heart is heavy, N We
feel ye'd like to cry, n We amt got
frien's er money, n the whole
worlds gone awry, N when life
doesn't seem worth while, er when
yer down an out, m lost yer faith in
ever thing, err when yer minds in
doubt-then We cheer up of sudden,
n a brighter sky you scan; do We
want to know what's happened?

Take Care of the Baby.

Summer weather is hard on the
baby Proper food will prevent
many deaths. Mothers milk is the
only perfect food for baby. Clean,
fresh, cows milk, properly modified
and pasteurized is the best subtitute.
To pasteurize milk, place the bottles
containing the milk in double boiler,
put in thermometer and. heat until
the water is $50 degrees. Then
push the boiler to the back of the
stove and keep the temperature be-
tween 40 and $50 degrees for thirty
minutes. This kills all the germs.
If you have no thermometer, heat
until the water around the bottles
comes to a boil, then let stand for
thirty minutes. Bottle milk should
be diluted with boiled water, and
cooled boiled water given freely be-
tween feelings. Clothing in summer
should be light, and the baby kept
out of doors as much as possible, ex-
cept when it is very hot. He should
be bathed morning and evening, and
on hot days. in the middle of the
day. If diarrhoea appears. the
baby's food should be diluted with
boiled water, and the amount much
decreased. If there is vomiting and
fever, stop all food, giving only
boiled water, and call a physician.

THE EASTLAND HORROR.

ssSUry Of shameful neglect and will
Hu1 negligence that characterized the
causes attending the disaster. TAX

Vcsnny eye for the profits, is not the

THE RED SIGNAL.

The western hemisphere is the
richest, most accessible, and most
easily conquered portion of the
sEiObe. 1t is tempting prize to the
linsatiate victor or the hungry loser
cot the present European Struggle.
Only the strong arm and resclute
heart of the United States stand in
tahe way of the absorption of part or
;RIl ct this hemisphere by the big
'aatiClis of Europe. Destruction of
eAe armies and navies of all the other
american republics would be mere
cehiid's play to European conqueror.
without the protection of the United
States. Brazil, Argentina, Chile and
che ether South American republics
would fall before the first assailant.
= But the United States will fight
lsor Brazil or the others as quickly as
ut will repel an invader of it's own
sshOres- 1t will do so for the best
of reasons-its own self protection.
1t will not permit the erection of
monarchy or a empire in the western
hemisphere.
Therefore, while Europe is filling
ats magazines and arsenals and navy
yards with ships and war material
Ra preparation for conquest or to
Eecoup itself from losses incurred by
Ihis war, it behooves the United
States to arm and equip itself with
rs1en, ships, guns, and ammunition
sWfhcient to make the western hemis-
Ynere Immune from attack.
The last year has proved that no
l2uEnan institution. no government. no
l-=gion on the earth's surface is safe
szm3esss it can defend itself. Treaties,
laws, customs, and theories have
hseen swept away, and mankind is de-
sending his belly with his knife. No
f<1ife, no life-that is the red signal
fay5ng throughout the world. From
tzhe Washington Post.

OLD IRoNslDES.


Ay, tear her tattered ensign down..
Long has it waved on high.
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the lannon's roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no moreI
Her deck once red with heroes blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe.
when winds were 9hurrying Ger the
flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor's tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea! =
% better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave,
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there shall be her grave;
1elsl to the mast her holy flag,
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to. the god of storms.
The lightning and the galel

MAYOR RINGLE'S WELCOME

Mayor Ringle spoke the following
words of welcome to the old veterans
yesterday:
Soldiers of the Grand Army of the
Republic.
To the veterans of the war for the
preservation of our Union, and affili-
ated organizations, l am pleased on
behalf of the people of Wausau, to
extend most cordial welcome. A
thousand words added to this would
not tend to increase the sincerity of
our greeting.
1t is now fifty years, since your
prayers and of the then people of this
country, for the war to cease was
answered, and you who participated
and survived, were privileged to re-
turn to your homes and to resume
the duties, the responsibilities and
the privileges of citizenship. One of
the instruments chosen by you, was
the organization now here represented.
Its teachings have been in the line of
patriotism and of the greater ap-
probation of the value of citizenship
under our system of government. If
there are still lingering doubts in
the minds of some men, then the
mighty object lesson on the European
continent, the horrors of human
slaughter and suffering for selfish
ends, should not fail to convince the
most skeptical, of the superiority of
government by and for the people.
You have also created and main
tanned most beautiful and tender
method of remembrance of departed
comrades, which has permeated far
beyond your activities, and year upon
year, until the present time, your
services to the country have become
more highly appreciated.
1t is not in my province to say
more except that it is our hope that
your visit to our city and association
with comrades may be a continuous
measure of recreation and pleasure,
and that when you return to your
homes, you may be privileged to en-
joy yet many years in health and
comfort.
