READING NOTICES
I'VE DONE MY BIT ON THE BORDER"

I've done my bit on the border
I'm in Gods country again,
I've had my fill of the Border,
Of Greasers and Border men
I've eaten the dirt of Texas,
I've drank of the Rio Grande,
I've grubbed mesquite in the cursed heat,
(The Lord never made the landD
I've seen all there is to the Border,
I've felt all there is to feel
I've done my time in of slime,
I've lost all they didn't steal.
I've done my bit on the Border
At Brownsville and Llano Grande
I've hiked and sweat in the heat and wet
From Pharr to the end of the land
I've done the camps at Mercedes,
At Donna and San Benite,
I've lain in the dust and gnawed a crust
At Funston's judgment seat,
I've eaten my meals with reptiles,
I've quartered with bugs galore
In hand where things all are made with stings
From the trees to the rug the floor.
I've dug in the blasted trenches,
The air was hundred Hells-
I've charged in the jungled cactus,
To the music of Rebel yells.
I've carried pack in the jungle,
Till it cut me down to the blood,
I've sweltered and lay like thing of clay,
In slithering swamp of mud.
I've risen at five in the morning
At the sound of the reveille,
I've shaved all day for newsboy's pay
Till the night would set me free.
I've lived the life of soldier,
No chance to cheat it" or shirk-
And the life of a soldier, believe me,
Is little but damned hard work.
I've eaten the food of soldier,
Hardtack and Mugan stew,
Bacon and beans-and a touch Of green's
But Lord, they were scarce and few!
I've followed the flag of my country
In khaki and plain o. D.
And up to date I'm standing straight
In way that is good to see.
I've done my bit the Border,
I've had my fill of the same;
But l wouldn't trade the friends I've made
For all I've lost in the game.
I've had my fill of the Border,
Of Greasers and Border men,
I've done my bit and l stand to quit,
And never take on again.
But l seem to know, when the bugles blow
And l hear the reveille,
That my blood will heat and my pulses beat
No matter where l may be.
And I'll yearn to go-with burning yearn
That only the soldier feels:
To slave and sweat in the heat and wet,
To straighten and click my heels
But I've don't my bit on the Border,
And now, thank God, I'm free
Although l know, when the bugles blow
They will have call for me.

Do your Christmas shopping early
Do it early, mother dear.
For soon will come the busiest time
Of this whole busy year.
So buy few things every day;
Leave all the bills-Dad will pay.
Do your Christmas shopping early,

MAKING CHILDREN EAT

Nothing is ever gained by forcing a
child to cat when it refuses food. Make
surethat nothing is being eaten between
meals to destroy the natural appetite
and II your growing child does nothave
a healthful craving for good, honest
food at mealtimes there is something
the matter. Threats OF punishment il
the child does not eat will not correct
the difficulty.
A fitful appetite in a growing child,
especially If the patient is pale, languid,
nervous, irritable, and without ambi-
ton, usually means that the blood is
thin. A non-alcoholic tonic such as
DR.. Williams Pink Fills is demanded.
During her teens q girl lays the foun-
dalton for her future health. Lack OF
blood at this time may rob her of
robust, healthy womanhood. It Is of
the greatest importance to administer
to girls who grow pale and weak safe
tonic and DR. Williams Pink Pills
meet every requirement of the most
careful mother. TLJy make the blood
rich and red and it carries renewed
health and strength to every part of the
body.
Your own druggist sells DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills. Send today to the

College VS.. Business--A Business Answer.

-Four years of college does lot for
some men," says successful business
man in the March Woman's Home Com
panion, "others simply waste the years
and would be better off under the firmer
discipline of business Those fond par
ents who are determined to force their
boys through, at whatever cost, often do
the boys a doubtful service.
IF, after year of college, a boy still
feels strong antipathy to college work
and desire to enter business immedi-
ately, it is often wise to let him drop
out and have year of business expert
ence. At the end of the year, let him
have the advice of his employers and of
other successful business men whom he
knows. 1t may be that the year will
have convinced him of the value of more
education: the men he talks with may
be able to show him that three addition
al college years will more than pay for
themselves in the rapidity of his bust

LOSES NINE DAYS A YEAR.
The Average Worker in United States
That Much Incapacitated.

Twenty-Five out Of every 900 EN-
ployes in American industries, according
TO recent statistics, are constantly in
capacitated by sickness, the average
worker losing approximately nine days
each year on this account This mon
effective rate" for the great army of in.
dustrial workers in the United States
barely suggests the total money loss
to employers and employees. The les
sened efficiency, the effects of reduced
earnings in times of sickness, as well as
the cost OF medical attendance, and the
economic loss from deaths, swell the cost
to industry and TO the nation to almost
incalculable figures.
That much of this loss is nothing less
than preventabe waste and that this
waste can be largely reduced by prop
erly conducted system. OF governmental
health insurance for wageworkers are
conclusions set forth in public health
bulletin No. rs, containing the results
of study of "health insurance re-
lation to the public health just issued
by the United States public health serv-
ice.
The preventive value of health insur-
ance is given especial emphasis in this
study. ANY system Of health insur-
ance for the United States or any state
should at its inception have prevention
of sickness as one of its fundamental
purposes says the bulletin. This com-
try should profit by the experience of
European countries where prevention is
being recognized as the central idea
necessary to health insurance if health
insurance is to attain its greatest sue
cess in improving the health and eff
cheney of the industrial population"
Such system, it is pointed out in
the bulletin, would
l. Provide cash benefits and medical |
service for all wage earners in times of |
sickness at much less cost than is now
possible Adequate medical relief would
thus be placed within the reach of even
the lowest paid workers who are most
subject to i'll health.
2. Distribute the cost among employ
ers, employees, and the public as the
groups responsible for disease causing
and afford these groups def
mite financial incentive for removing
these conditions. This can be done By
means of small weekly payments from
employees, supplemented by proportionate
from employers and gov
eminent at rate reducible in in proper
ton TO the reduction of sickness.
3. Become an effective health meas
IRE by linking the cooperative efforts
IF the three responsible groups with the
work of national, state and local health
agencies, and by utilizing these agencies

iurance system.
4. Afford better basis for the co -oper-
ltion OF the medical profession with
,ublic health agencies.
s. Eliminate the elements Of paternal-
SIN and charity giving by making EN-,
,loyes and the public, as well as en-
'loyers, joint agents in the control of
