umprovino" Old HYMNS.

An old house or an old church stands
splendid in its strong and simple Ines
but new generation comes with a
desire for modern contraptions, new
wings. and other radical changes, the
new architect has the idea of 'restora-
ton" well developed-and we know
what happens to the time honored old
construction Fortunately the better
class of architects are now standing
firmly against the first ideas of 'resto-
ration and many of the good old
buildings have been saved for future
generations to love and to study.
Quite volume Of protest has been
brought out of late because ruthless
hands have been laid on some of the
old hymns. Simon Patten, professor
of economics at the University Of
rewriting many of the hymns Of the
ages, and the results are not pleasant
to contemplate. The Son of God
Goes Forth to War has become The
Son of God Goes Forth to Love"
Holy, Holy, Holy. Lord God AL

Creative Energy" Onward Christian
Soldiers has become Onward Chosen
People The old fervid Jesus, Lover
or My Soul which has softened and
stirred the hearts of countless thous-
ands. is sadly mutilated and it's spirit
destroyed No wonder the world COM
plains.
There is something about an old
building. an old piece Of furniture. an
old hymn. that will not bear recon
struction nor Improvement" 1t rep
resents a certain era of thought,
certain state OF mind. To those sensj
tive to these things, attempts at
change or improvement almost SAVIOR
of dishonesty. At the least. it is a
laying of profane hands on sacred
things
professor Patten may write hymns,
and no one will complain. The effort
to improve on the past is everyone's
privilege and even his duty. but to lay
violent hands on the work Of others
shows lack of taste and a lack Of
understanding Of the fitness of things
not to be expected in a person Of Pro-
lessor Patterns position. &
If the hymns Of the old ideas are not
satisfactory then by all means write
new ones. as Whittier did in his "Eter-

wonder and rejoice
But it will be found most difficult

HOW TO BE SLIM

If you are too fat and want to Z
reduce your weight Is or 20 I
pounds, don't starve and weaken
your system, or think you must
always be laughed at on account
of your fat, but go to Mcbride &
Will Co.. or any good druggist,
and get a box Of Oil Of Korein
capsules, take one after each meal
and one before retiring at night. .
Weigh yourself once a week !,
and note what pleasant and re-
liable method this is for remov-
ing superfuous fat from any part
of the body.
It costs little, Is absolutely
harmless and a weeks trial
should convince anyone that it Is
unnecessary to be burdened with
even a single pound of unsightly
fat.

The Burlington Hawkeye says:
while the price Of Iowa farm land
has increased 100 per cent in the past
ten years, and promises to do as we'll
in the next, it is small wonder that the
eloquent gentlemen who have Canada
or Texas, or California, or some other
kind of land to sell, that Is not in
Iowa, are not finding so many atten-
tive listeners as was the case in former
years when in the spring time, the
railroads were busy hauling farmers
out of Iowa, who were going to grow
fat on cheap lands somewhere. 1t is
impossible to fool many Of the people
more than a very short time. Especial
ly the Iowa people"
THE naturalization Of citizens is
coming to be more Of an event than In
former years." observes the Council
Bluffs Nonpareil. Uncle Sam is be-
ginning to inquire little more strictly
into the qualifications OF prospective
citizens and there must be sufficient
proofs No more slipshod methods will
be tolerated. Many men who received
papers years ago are having their
papers inspected and where flaws are
found they are required to have them
corrected. It will have the effect of
bringing about better appreciation Of
the privilege Of citizenship in this
country"

BATTLE OF vERDUN
Pref. Russell Writes of Progress of
Conflict.

SOiiitiNNs
The lesson Of Verdun and the effect
of the great battle on the warning ma
tions of Europe are analysed in an in
tere1ting manner by Professor John e.
Russell of Williams college, who wrote
the following to a New York newspa-
per:
The increment of the German army
against We. lun, in my opinion, has
demonstrated certain facts which do
not indicate near-at-hand ending of
this war, il that is to be effected by
the armies in the field. The first OF
these facts is that this movement is
anything but last desperate and blind
attempt to strike the Allies a costly
blow before giving up the fight There
is nothing in the operation of the Ger
man army which indicates such a state
of mind; on the contrary, this last
drive bears all the marks of being
most intelligently planned; and it is
being made with consummate military
skill and strategy, and shows that the
Germans are masters in military
| science.
The second fact this movement has
| demonstrated is that superiority in ar.
| tillery is clearly on the side of the Ger
mans. both in number of guns, in
range, and in destructiveness of fire.
If the French have guns of equal eff
cheney they are not yet in evidence.
A third fact is that the Germans can
not have lost anything like the num-
Der of soldiers the French reports
represent nor is there any evidence
that the German soldiers have lost
vigor courage, or any fighting quail
ties which they have shown earlier in
the war. They are able TO take by
storm strong positions, and with un-
important exceptions they have been
able to hold whatever positions they
have once taken
II seems to me the indication of
these facts is the following: 1t is not
likely that the Allies will attempt a
great drive, as least for many weeks.
The French will not be likely to do
this, for superior artillery of the Ger
mans will make their defense inyuner
able, A successful drive is not to be
looked for from the British. Did the
success of such an undertaking depend
upon the fighting qualities of the sol
diers alone the British might be ex-
pected to make such n move, but in,
teiligent direction Of these soldiers is
unfortunately the sine qua non Of sue
cess in war, and it may be fairly doubt
ed if the British army can supply that
requisite. In years competent leader
ship might enable the British to meet
the Germans on fairly even terms, but
| at present the disparity in generalshiE
is enormous.
If any decisive action in the field /:
to be looked for it must occur either
On the eastern front or in the Balkans

thing of any decisive or even i'm
portant moment in favor of the Alliei
