tionable character also7 Striking
pretty close home. I should think.
Referring to the soldiers settling
labor disputes and shooting down
working men for such barons as
Rockefeller. he surely was little
confused In his history readings.
The U. S. government doesn't have
20 call out the regulars for such
small things as labor disputes. A
state militia, composed OF civilians,
In civilian life, are for this purpose.
Was II the men Of the militia,
or the regulars, who caused the
bIoodshed and suffering for the
working men during the Colorado
mine striker
How many wars has he fought

One will find countless numbers OF
such cases In the fields OF the war

fighting side by side over there,
and there isn't a question Of doubt
as 10 the men Of those positions

Of need.
He quotes Jack London as say
inu, "The lowest aim In man Is to
be a soldier" One wouldn't deny
him saying the words, but there Is
some room for discussion. Is Jack
London a writer Of history, or Is he
dreamer and writer OF fletion7
Didn't no Join the forces during
the Spanlsh-Amerlesn war? Why
not quote few OF the sayings OF
hstory-makers, such as Washing

men who really worked and stud
led for the good Of their fellow
men7 Isn't Woodrow Wilson, our
present president, more a student
and scholar than fighter And
he wouldn't hesitate 10 fight for
just cause.
No, Miss Grey. this poor, little,
misguided Orphan Boy isn't looking
for information concerning mill
tary men and military affairs OF
the United States. He's either
seeking a little cheap notoriety by
running down history, religion and
the character Of women, or he's
trying to furnish a little amuse-
ment for his own eoncelted self.
Instead Of reading history, he
should indulge In and follow out
the advice OF dreamers and writer's
Of fiction, and even then he would
probably still have that same con-
fusion Of ideas. c. c. D.

Photographs of Professor Langley's
aerodrome in midair--the first aero
plane ever built capable of sustained
free flight with a man-appear in the
latest report of the secretary of the
Smithsonian institution. Before any
change was made in the machine be-
yond covering it with new canvas and
providing it with hydroaeIoplane
floats, 'Langley's folly" was launched
on Lake Keuka on May 20 last, and
with Mr.. Glenn H. Curtiss as pilot, the
official report says, the aerodrome
ran easily over the water, ran on
level wing, and flew in steady poise
$50 feet" Subsequent short flights
were made in order to secure photo
graphs of the craft in air. The model
on which 1t was built demonstrated on
May 6, 1896, that a machine heavier
than air could be propelled through
the air by its own power. Injuries
sustained through defects in the
launching apparatus prevented its &C
tual flight in 1903, when the aero
drome plunged into the Potomac.

A little girl named Hilda and her
mother stood one cold winter morn
ing looking out upon the landscape,
in which everything was covered with
an icy armor that sparkled with gilt
tering beauty in the sunshine.

Hilda

will be all gone before noon time"
The little girl was quiet for mo-

scene that lay stretched out before
her. Then she looked up and said
brightly, Never mind, mother;
there1l be something else beautiful to-
morrow"
What a charming thought was ut

The harm of doing nothing, is sell
dom realized. But it means going
backward. Or, if it means floating
along to somewhere, it also means
getting soaked and heavy and finally
sinking out of sight. Every boy should
adopt Secretary Redfields advice to
business men--to practice self-criti-
cism; to find out if anything is the
matter, and then correct 1t, says Ohio
State Journal
We suspect If every boy and girl
would undergo little self-examination
they would find idleness was one of
their habits. And they are apt also to
think it is an innocent habit; but it Is
not; it is dangerous habit. Remem-
Der the old saying that the devil al
ways finds something for idle hands to
do, and that something is evil always.
Now, work is not always struggle
with ones hands. 1t does not always
make one perspire and get short of
breath. If a person thinks of things
that are true, If he builds up noble
ideals, If he plans enterprises of good
will, if he makes use of his spirit in
forming fine resolutions-this is not
idling.
The test for idleness is very easy.
When one wastes his time be is idle;
when he does not utilize thought and
deed to make his life better he is
idling. Teaching boy to value his
time is the best lesson that can be
given him.

Grape-Nuts since infancy, and often
between meals when other children
would have been given candy.
Il gave a package Of GrapeNuts to
a neighbor whose 3-year-old child was
a weakened little thing, i'll half the
time. The little tot ate the Grape-Nuts
and cream greedily and the mother
continued the good work, and 1t was
not long before truly wonderful
change manifested itself In the child's
face and body. The results were re-
markable, even for Grape-Nuts.

Many mothers instead OF destroying
the children's stomachs with candy

How you hated them, how you fought

With our children it's different.
Mothers who cling to the old form of

SUPPLIES FOR THE SOLDIER
Line of Communication Must Remain
Intact in Order to Provide Army
With Supplies.

General Grant said that when he
had re-established railroad communi-
cation at Chattanooga and so brought
food to his starving army the soldiers
called il the cracker line" II is the
most essential line in war, "Giard
writes in the Philadelphia Ledger.
The two armies facing each other in
France and belgium contain as many
men as there are people in Philadel-
phia. AT peace this city wears out
1900 pairs of shoes every day. What
must the soldiers wear out when con-
silently marching over rough country?
To feed Philadelphia requires daily
many train-loads Of provisions coming
in all directions. A soldier, Ike citt
zen, must be fed. He needs clothes.
blankets, rifles, ammunition. and he
requires them constantly.
The cracker line" is the line that
connects the army with its own stores
to the rear That's why We hear so
much about cutting the enemy's line
