NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
la MS WERS:
BY CYNTHIA GREY |:
Observation-Disclosures |I|I|I||I||Nu

Dear Miss Grey: have
read the cry of Prepared
ness" over and over again.
have looked at it from almost
every point of view. l have
also read the peace-at-any-
price ideas, and | do not see
how this great country of
ours can abide by both OF
these-so why not compro-
mise?
In the first place, l do not
believe God meant to have
his children, who are sup
posed to grow into his like
ness, go back into semi
barbaric conditions from
which they have been gradu-
ally emerging for SO many
centuries. We are meant to
advance. and perhaps this
terrible war will teach the
world what true advance
ment really is.
Right now the eastern part
of our country seems to have
reached her zenith of riches
and luxury, and instead of
wasting these riches In riot
Gus living, 1 believe we
should use them to make the
U. s. A. a better. healthier,
and safer place to live.
| do not believe in peace
at-any-price, nor do / believe
in a vast army and navy. My
idea Is this: We must con-
slider the future welfare of
our children. We do not
want them to grow up weak
lings, neither do we wish
them to be 30 aggressive that
they will fight at the drop of
a hat.
To become manly they
must learn to control their
tempers as well as their bod
les. 1t is a well known fact
that a trained boxer who has
learned the hard lesson of
seif-control can easily whip a
man much bigger and strong
er than himself who is a
bully and thinks he can lick
the world.
My idea to train our young
men is this: To enforce
every able-bodied boy OF 16
or II to attend a government
school with strict military
training. for at least one

A LaxatiUe for Babies
Good for Everybody
DIR. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin a Safe
and Efficient Family Rem
edy.

Every member of the family is more
or less subject to constipation and
every home should always be supplied
with dependable remedy to promptly
relieve this condition. Whenever the
bowels become clogged and the nat
ural process of elimination thereby
disturbed, the entire system is af-
fected, and readily subject to attack
by disease. Constipation is condi-
tion that should never be neglected.
Mrs. f. r. Gilbert, of Millbro., Va,
says that DR.. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin
is a splendid laxativ, for children
because they like its pleasant taste,
and it acts so easily and naturally,
without gripping or strain, and she
finds it equally effective for the rest of
the family.
DR.. CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin is a
combination of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that contains no opiate
or narcotic drug. 1t is mild and gen
tie in its action, and does not cause
pain or discomfort. Druggists every
where sell this excellent remedy for
fifty cents bottle.

TOWNSVILLE

Jonesville, Dec. 19.-Winter wealth
er has been a good while coming, but
it is here at last. The snow Sunday
night was quite surprise. Well, the
weather has always been treacherous
and makes me think of that old verse:
"Tho' the morning be serene,
Not a threatening cloud be seen.
Who can undertake 20 say
Twill be pleasant all the day,
Sudden tempest may arise,
Darkness overspread the skies,
Lightning flash and thunders roar,
Ere a short lived day is DER"
The old Baptist church here is be-
ing torn down and removed to make
room for the new church. The old
church had served it's day well, but
the progress of the age had put it out
of date, but after all 1 had a liking
for the old house of worship and for
more than one reason. First, I had a
saw mill in Jonesville at the time the
church was built and / sawed every
piece of lumber that was used in the
building, and second, many people have
been blessed within its sacred walls
sin during the 3S years of it's exist
ence and can't help but say with
sadness, "Good-by, old church; good
BY"
Our company of Boy Scouts are
quite active and ever ready to do any
thing in their line.
The postoffice here is kept quite
busy these days as the Yuletide is
approaching. 1t is n fact not to be
boasted of, however, that much of the
increase in business is the issuing of
postofficc expires orders to pay for Ii
Quor. The -gallon-a- month law is
furnishing about all the liquor the
people want for drink purposes. Of
course the blind tigers might need
more than that in their business.
Speaking of the postoffice carries
me back in my mind to the days when
was young. In the year 1860 I was
n clerk in the postooflice at Union. a
small town ut that time of about eight
or nine hundred inhabitants. and I
could attend to all the business of
the Office without any help. There
were distributing Offices over the
South. One was over at Augusta.
GA. and all the mail this side of the
Savannah going West was put up in
one package and addressed to Au-
eusta and there it was opened and
distributed over the West and the
same thing was the practice over the
East side of the State. The mails in
most of the up-country then were car
ried either by stage or mail riders
as they were called then.
Yes, Germany will treat for peace,
but she wants it come all her way.
Wouldn't blame her to accept peace
on her own terms. A few months ago
when she had won most of the vic
tories she would not hear to any peace
talk but England and France have
been whipping her here of late in
most every engagement and now she
is willing to talk peace.
