HAVE iGU iia1 III

When you awake at 4 a. m, With
whiskers on your tongue,
And fancy an apartment house is
sitting on each lung,
When you continuously sneeze-
excepting when you cough,
And at your throat you feel
clutch that you can not shake
off,
When grinning germs sit round in
squads to wait their turn to
swat you,
It's got you.
You may have taken ice cold baths,
what time the lark arises;
You may have done quite everything
Woods Hutchinson advises;
You may have cut out drinks and
smokes, plum pudding and
mince pie,
And walked a good eight miles a
day beneath the open sky,
But your hygiene was all in vain;
All your preparedness failed you.
1t nailed you.
Cheer up! 1t only lasts a week.
You really shouldn't mind it.
Twill pass in time, and probably
leave something worse behind it.
But in this curious old world that
we are living in,
Mans greatest need, outside of cash,
is mental discipline;
So lie there, while hourly the pain
that racks your soul grows
rougher,
And suffer.

News of the mobilization of the American militia has stirred intense in tereSt and developed wide difference of opinion in South America.
 The great mass of the people in South America are bitterly hostile to- ward the sudden military activity in the United States and look upon the ac tiOn of President Wilson with diStruSt
 They fear that the United States dc spite protcStationS to the contrary iS planning territorial expansion and that if the United States does not actually propose to extend its boundaries south ward it certainly does propose to at tempt paternal prOtectOrate over Lat in America. Such a prOtectorate would be viewed in South America merely as a disguise for the first step toward az greSSion.
 The general opinion of the public is expressed as follows:
 Americans in Mexico are now har- veSting the well deserved result of their long meddling and interference in Mexican affairs. They are repeating the harvest of blood. which is the inevita- ble fruit of their political and financial intrigueS. Now these plotters. caught in the net of their own construction. are calling upon the government at Washington to save them. even at the cost of a long and terrible war"
 That public sentiment here is soidly with the MeXicanS cannot be doubted.
 In official and aristOcratic circles there is evidence of q moderately trust full attitude toward President Wilson and mild semibelef in the disinter- estednesS of the United States. The at tude of the aristOcracy is summed up in the following comment by govern ment official:
 We do not distrust President Will son. but our people would be pleased with fresh guarantees in stronger terms that there will be no territorial acqui sitiOn in the event of actual war he tween the United States and Mexico"
 Intervention and war are considered the same thing. and the situation iS causing open anxiety. The failure of the "A R C" conference at Niagara Falls is recalled. with but slightly con cealed doubt of whole hearted c0-opera. tiOn on the part of the United State with South American governments.
 South American governments un- doubtedly will expect a new declara- tion of purposes from President Vii son in the event of hoStilities.
