WAKE UP AMERICA.

Have we forgotten America,
The battle our fathers fought?
Are we ashamed Of our history
In the peace that fighting bought?
Must we laughed at, America,
While our swords turn weak and rust
If the blood of our fathers wasted,
How have we treated the trust?
Is Columbia the Gem of the Ocean?
Is Old Glory the pride of the free
Let's forget every selfish emotion?
United forever, Well be.
,.. CHORUS.
Wake up America!
If we are called to war, are we pre-.
pared to give our lives
For our sweethearts and our wives?
Are our mothers and our homes worth
fighting for?
Let us pray God for peace, but peace
with honor,
But let's get ready to answer dutys
call.
So when Old Glory stands unfurled,
Let it mean to all the world
America is ready-that's all.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY v. NJ. PIERCE, NJ. d.

The subject of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent yeaIs investigation by
means Of X-rays, Z e observations Of
scientists such as Cannon, Grutzner,
P0vlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that an
abundance of water taken during d.
gestlon Is necessary In good bodily
housekeeping.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suf-
fer with lumbngo or rheumatism at
times, pain In the back or back Of the
neck, take little Anurlc before meals.
This cah be found ut any good drug
store. Therefore NY advice to young
or old Is, always drink plenty Of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets Of Anuric three or four
times day.
Anuric acts-much more quickly
than lithln. You will find 1t dlssolves
uric acid as water does sugar.

If ever people should pause, if ever they should

Of the terrible realities that are being enacted before
their eyes in other nations it is now and we are that
people.
We should not take too easily the present great
wealth of this country, that dangerously likely
to submerge us in our prosperity. Rather, with
an opportunity such country had to lay the

An Effective Laxative
 For Growing Children
Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin Highly Recommended as
 a Family Remedy.

In children the slightest irregularity of the bowels has tendency to dis turb the entire digestive system, and unless promptly remedied invites seri- ous illness. The experienced mother knows that by training her children to regularity in this respect, and when occasion arises administering a mild laxative, she will have little need for the doctors services.
 Mrs. Leo Weigand, 3251 Central Ave-, N. S., Pittsburg, Pa, whose two boys, Frank and Joseph, are shown in the illustration, writes that she has found Dr. CaldWelIs Syrup Pepsin a most effective laxative, not only for the children but also for herself, and that she will always keep it in the house to use when needed. Dr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsin is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin that acts easily and naturally with out gripping or other pain or discom- fort. It is pleasant to the taste so that children like it, and is equally effec- tive on the strongest constitution.
